Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cell storage, and more specifically, it relates to a storage device for stem cells. Background Art
[0002] During the existing cell culture process, the container for cell culture is placed on the storage cabinet and waits. Therefore, a transfer device is used. After the container is carried to the storage cabinet, the container is then placed into the storage cabinet. However, when there are a large number of cultured cells, the staff needs to first place a large number of containers at the container storage position of the transfer device. After the transfer device moves to the side of the storage cabinet, the containers in the transfer device are then placed into the storage cabinet. That is, each container needs to be placed twice, which is very troublesome.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a storage device for stem cells to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] Based on the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a storage device for stem cells, achieving the effect of convenient use.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve its technical problems is: a storage device for stem cells, including a storage cabinet. A plurality of storage slots are provided on both sides of the storage cabinet. A plurality of storage boxes are provided between the upper and lower ends in the storage slots. Support slots corresponding to the positions of the storage boxes are provided on the inner walls on both sides of the storage slots. Rollers are rotatably connected to both sides of the storage box. The rollers are located at one end of the storage box close to the inner side of the storage slot. Support bars corresponding to the positions of the support slots are fixedly connected to both sides of the storage box. The rollers and the support bars are both located in the support slots. A receiving groove is provided at the bottom of the support slot away from the inner side of the storage slot. A clamping block is provided inside the receiving groove. An elastic member is connected between the bottom of the clamping block and the bottom of the receiving groove. A clamping groove adapted to the clamping block is provided on the lower side of the support bar away from the inner side of the storage slot.
[0006] Further, guide shafts are fixed to the bottom of the receiving grooves. The guide shafts all penetrate the clamping block, and the guide shafts are slidably connected to the clamping block.
[0007] Further, a first inclined surface is provided at the upper end of the clamping block away from the inside of the storage slot. The height of the bottom end of the first inclined surface is lower than the height of the rotation shaft of the roller.
[0008] Further, a second inclined surface is provided at the upper end of the clamping block close to the inside of the storage slot. After subtracting the thickness of the second inclined surface from the height of the bottom end of the support bar, it is higher than the height of the rotation shaft of the roller.
[0009] Further, a dial block is fixed at the lower end of the side of the clamping block away from the inside of the storage slot, and the dial block penetrates and extends out of the outside of the storage cabinet.
[0010] Further, an opening is provided on the upper side of one end of the storage box away from the inside of the storage slot, a cover plate is arranged on the opening, and one end of the cover plate close to the inside of the storage slot is rotatably connected to the storage box.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. When the storage box is completely pushed into the storage slot, the elastic member will push the upper end of the clamping block into the clamping slot through its own elasticity, so as to clamp the storage box and prevent the storage box from accidentally slipping out of the storage slot;
[0015] 2. When the clamping block is partially retracted into the accommodating groove and the storage box is pulled outwards, the clamping block will avoid the support strip, but will block the roller, so that the storage box can partially extend out of the storage slot, facilitating the staff to access the cell culture container inside the storage box;
[0016] 3. When the clamping block is completely retracted into the accommodating groove, the staff can directly take out the storage box and carry the storage box to the corresponding location to directly access the cell container, saving the trouble of placing the cell container back and forth between the storage cabinet and the transfer device.

[0026] It should be pointed out that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present application belongs.
[0027] In the present novel, unless otherwise stated, the orientations such as "upper" and "lower" are usually in the directions shown in the drawings, or in the vertical, perpendicular or gravitational directions; similarly, for the convenience of understanding and description, "left" and "right" are usually in the left and right shown in the drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer of the contour of each component itself, but the above orientation terms are not used to limit the present novel.
[0028] As Figures 1-4 shown, the present application provides a storage device for stem cells, including a storage cabinet 1. A plurality of storage slots 11 are arranged on both sides of the storage cabinet 1, and a plurality of storage boxes 2 are arranged between the upper and lower ends in the storage slots 11.
[0029] Support slots 12 corresponding to the positions of the storage boxes 2 are arranged on the inner walls on both sides of the storage slots 11. Rotating connections are provided on both sides of the storage boxes 2 with rollers 21 corresponding to the positions of the support slots 12. The rollers 21 are located at one end of the storage box 2 close to the inner side of the storage slot 11. The rollers 21 are respectively located in a support slot 12.
[0030] Support bars 22 corresponding to the positions of the support slots 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the storage box 2.
[0031] Receiving slots 13 are arranged at the bottoms of the support slots 12 at the ends far from the inner sides of the storage slots 11. Blocks 14 are arranged inside the receiving slots 13. Guide shafts 15 are fixedly arranged at the bottoms of the receiving slots 13. The guide shafts 15 all penetrate through the blocks 14, and the guide shafts 15 are slidably connected to the blocks 14. Elastic members 16 are connected between the bottoms of the blocks 14 and the bottoms of the receiving slots 13. In this embodiment, the elastic members 16 are springs.
[0032] The upper end of the clamping block 14 away from the inner side of the storage slot 11 is provided with a first inclined surface 141, and the height of the bottom end of the first inclined surface 141 is lower than the height of the rotating shaft of the roller 21.
[0033] The upper end of the clamping block 14 close to the inner side of the storage slot 11 is provided with a second inclined surface 142. After subtracting the thickness of the second inclined surface 142 from the height of the bottom end of the support bar 22, it is higher than the height of the rotating shaft of the roller 21.
[0034] A clamping groove 221 adapted to the clamping block 14 is provided on the lower side of the end of the support bar 22 away from the inner side of the storage slot 11.
[0035] A dial block 143 is fixed to the lower end of the clamping block 14 away from the inner side of the storage slot 11, and the dial block 143 penetrates and extends out of the outside of the storage cabinet 1.
[0036] An opening 23 is provided on the upper side of the end of the storage box 2 away from the inner side of the storage slot 11. The opening 23 is covered with a cover plate 24. One end of the cover plate 24 close to the inner side of the storage slot 11 is rotatably connected to the storage box 2, and a buckle 25 is installed between the end of the cover plate 24 away from the inner side of the storage slot 11 and the storage box 2.
[0037] A handle 26 is fixed to the end of the storage box 2 away from the inner side of the storage slot 11.
[0038] When the storage box 2 is completely pushed into the storage slot 11, the elastic member 16 will, through its own elasticity, push the upper end of the clamping block 14 into the clamping groove 221, thereby clamping the storage box 2 and preventing the storage box 2 from accidentally coming out of the storage slot 11.
[0039] The handle 26 facilitates the staff to pull the storage box 2 outwards. Since the upper end of the clamping block 14 close to the inner side of the storage slot 11 is the second inclined surface 142, and the clamping block 14 is adapted to the clamping groove 221, when the staff pulls the handle 26, the clamping block 14 will be pushed into the receiving groove 13 by the extrusion of the second inclined surface 142 by the clamping groove 221, so as to allow the clamping block 14 to avoid the support bar 22, so that the staff can pull the storage box 2 out of the storage slot 11.
[0040] Since the height of the bottom end of the support bar 22 minus the thickness of the second inclined surface 142 is still higher than the height of the rotating shaft of the roller 21, during the process of pulling out the storage box 2, the roller 21 will be blocked by the clamping block 14, and the roller 21 will not contact the second inclined surface 142. Even if the staff continues to pull the storage box 2, the clamping block 14 will not be pressed into the receiving groove 13 by the roller 21, so that the storage box 2 can only be pulled out partially, and at this time the cover plate 24 completely extends out of the storage slot 11, so that the staff can open the cover plate 24 and access cells inside the storage box 2 through the opening 23, facilitating the access of cells.
[0041] By toggling the dial block 143 downward, the latch block will completely retract into the receiving groove 13, thus avoiding the roller 21. At this time, the storage box 2 can be completely taken out, which facilitates the staff to directly take the storage box 2 to other places for cell access and storage. Then, the storage box 2 is placed back into the storage slot 11, avoiding the trouble of placing the cell container back and forth between the storage cabinet 1 and the transfer device when transferring cells.
[0042] In summary, the storage device for stem cells achieves the effect that the storage box 2 can be partially or completely withdrawn. When the storage box 2 is partially withdrawn, it is convenient for the staff to observe the cells or access a small number of cell culture containers; when the storage box 2 is completely withdrawn, the trouble of placing the cell container back and forth between the storage cabinet 1 and the transfer device can be saved, and the storage box 2 can be directly transported to the corresponding location, which facilitates the access of a large number of cell culture containers.
