[0002] A biobank is a large-scale device used to store important biological samples at low temperatures for a long time. Biobanks usually store sample tubes in units of sample tubes, which are stored in racks. Multiple racks are placed in the deep cryogenic storage area of ​​the biobank in various arrangements. Whenever samples are input or output from the sample bank, the racks are usually placed in a special transfer tank, and the input and output of samples are achieved through a transfer window.

[0003] In the prior art, the transfer of transfer cans is usually done manually. When taking out the transfer can, the staff needs to reach into the transfer window to take the transfer can.

The manual pick-and-place operation is inconvenient due to the small space inside the transfer window, which will reduce work efficiency. At the same time, since the transfer window is open for too long, the temperature and humidity in the environment outside the biological sample library will have an uncontrollable impact on the environment inside the sample library. Therefore, a multi-degree-of-freedom transfer transmission mechanism is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
