The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Example 1

[0047] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a novel automatic storage device for poles, which includes a docking operation compartment 1, a lifting support mechanism 2, and a storage compartment 3. By setting the docking operation compartment 1 on the lifting support mechanism 2, the lifting support mechanism 2 drives the docking operation compartment 1 to move up and down, thereby realizing the docking of the docking operation compartment 1 and the storage compartment 3.

[0048] Specifically, it includes a docking operation cabin 1, a lifting support mechanism 2, and a storage cabin 3; the lifting support mechanism 2 is equipped with the docking operation cabin 1, and the storage cabin 3 is located below the docking operation cabin 1. The lifting support mechanism 2 can drive the docking operation cabin 1 to move up and down, and the docking operation cabin 1 can dock with the storage cabin 3.

[0049] In summary, by using the lifting support mechanism 2 to drive the docking operation cabin 1 to rise and fall, the docking operation cabin 1 and the storage cabin 3 can be docked, which facilitates docking of different storage cabins 3 and allows multiple storage cabins 3 to share one docking operation cabin 1. This saves costs and improves work efficiency. Example 2

[0056] It should be noted that the actuator 222 can use a worm gear structure, and the slave 223 can use a worm. The structure of the worm gear and the worm itself can achieve self-locking, which avoids the situation where the docking operation cabin 1 suddenly descends in the middle. After the docking operation cabin 1 is raised, the storage cabin 3 can move automatically or manually and detach from the docking operation cabin 1. Of course, the actuator 222 and the slave 223 can use other existing lifting structures. It should be noted that in automatic mode, the docking operation module 1 can dock with multiple storage modules 3, enabling one docking operation module 1 to match multiple storage modules 3, thus saving costs.

[0057] Furthermore, the actuator 222 is provided with a manual port 225; by driving the manual port 225, the actuator 222 is driven to move up and down along the slave 223.

[0070] Furthermore, a scooping assembly 14 is also provided in the upper compartment 11, which can scoop up the trays on the basket inside the hoisting mechanism 12.

[0071] Preferably, the scooping component 14 is located on one side of the lifting component 122. After the lifting component 122 lifts the basket, the scooping component 14 can be used to scoop out the plate frame on the basket by horizontal scooping, and at the same time, the plate frame in the docking operation compartment 1 can be scooped onto the basket.

[0093] Preferably, by setting the scale dial 3212, in manual extraction mode, the scale dial 3212 can display the position of the basket on the storage rack 323 with a pointer. Of course, the position of the basket can also be determined from the extraction port 33; the upper drive module 3211 can be a motor.

[0094] Furthermore, a prism 3213 is provided below the scale plate 3212. The central tube 322 and the storage rack 323 can be rotated by manually driving the prism 3213.

[0095] It should be noted that staff can use tools to engage and rotate the prism 3213, thereby rotating the central tube 322 and the storage rack 323. At this time, the upper drive module 3211 is in a rotatable state and does not engage the brake, allowing for smooth rotation. This facilitates manual lifting of the basket and enables operations such as sample storage, retrieval, and transfer.

[0096] Furthermore, multiple sets of casters 34 are provided on the lower side of the liquid nitrogen tank body 31.

[0097] It should be noted that the liquid nitrogen tank body 31 can be moved by the casters 34, or by a hydraulic forklift to lift it, thereby moving the liquid nitrogen tank body 31. Of course, it can also be moved by other existing methods, such as by installing a fully automatic drive unit at the bottom of the liquid nitrogen tank body 31 to achieve active movement. The movement method of the bottom of the liquid nitrogen tank body 31 is not limited here.

[0098] Furthermore, the docking operation cabin 1 is equipped with multiple hatches 4, which can be opened to maintain the internal components of the docking operation cabin 1.

[0099] It should be noted that by providing hatches 4 on both sides of the docking operation cabin 1, staff can quickly open the hatches 4 when equipment malfunctions, facilitating the repair or maintenance of internal components.

[0100] In summary, this invention uses the lifting support mechanism 2 to drive the docking operation chamber 1 to rise and fall, thereby docking with different storage chambers 3. The docking operation chamber 1 can also be manually raised and lowered. By designing the lifting component 122 to be detachable, this device can solve the defect of not being able to quickly disassemble in case of failure. Furthermore, the nitrogen spraying component 13 can spray nitrogen onto the sample, ensuring the safety of the sample even in emergency situations. The storage chamber 3 adopts a small off-center design, and the central tube 322 adopts a threaded and keyway structure, which can be replaced and maintained as a whole. In addition, the central tube 322 adopts a semi-conductive cooling design, and the internal space is foamed, which effectively reduces shaft cooling and liquid nitrogen consumption. The gripper on the pipe-picking mechanism 15 adopts a standard rotating gripper, which can automatically scan the side code of the plate rack and straw sleeve. Combined with visual recognition, it can accurately pick up a single pipe and identify straw sleeves of different sizes, enabling mixed storage. In fully automatic mode, it can realize multiple tanks in one compartment, significantly saving costs. This equipment combines fully automatic high-efficiency operation with emergency manual adaptation, improving equipment reliability, maintenance convenience and storage flexibility, reducing operating costs, and is suitable for efficient and safe storage of carrying poles and straw sleeves.
