Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to medical devices, and in particular to an embryo freezing and transporting device for a reproductive laboratory. Background Art
[0002] The daily work of reproductive laboratories often involves the freezing and transport process. Especially after the in vitro fertilization-embryo freezing operation is completed, it is often necessary to transport the freezing rack, which contains a carrier rod with embryos of freezing value, from the operating room to the storage room. During the transportation process, the embryos need to remain in a frozen environment. At present, the embryo transfer process still requires the experimenter to manually transport the liquid nitrogen box containing the embryos. However, due to the continuous evaporation of liquid nitrogen during this process, the stable temperature environment of the embryo cannot be guaranteed. If the liquid nitrogen is sprayed or overflowed during the transportation process, it will damage the laboratory environment.
[0003] The existing transfer device is of the box-opening type, which is inconvenient to take out the freezing rack. When taking out the freezing rack, the liquid nitrogen in the box is easy to overflow after opening the lid, causing the temperature inside the box to drop, which is not conducive to embryo storage. The overflowing liquid nitrogen can easily cause personal injury. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example 1:

[0029] The shielding cylinder 902 is rotatably mounted within the wall of the storage cylinder 901. The sealing cover 903 is plugged into the shielding cylinder 903. The sealing cover 903 includes a cap 9031, a sealing cylinder 9032, two insertion rods 9033, and a crossbar 9034. The cap 9031 is threadedly connected to the inclined surface. The sealing cylinder 9032 is fixedly mounted on the cap 9031. The upper ends of the two insertion rods 9033 are fixedly connected to the cap 9031.

[0030] The freezing support 10 is located in the storage cylinder 901, and the upper end of the freezing support 10 is stuck on the cross bar 9034. The upper end of the storage cylinder 901 is provided with a limiting groove 9011, and the upper end of the shielding cylinder 902 is provided with a socket 9021. A limiting plate 9022 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the shielding cylinder 902. The limiting plate 9022 slides in the limiting groove 9011, and the insertion rod 9033 slides through the limiting groove 9011 and is inserted into the socket 9021. When the cap 9031 is rotated and tightened, the lower end of the sealing cylinder 9032 abuts against the inclined surface to ensure airtightness. While rotating and tightening the cap 9031, the insertion rod 9033 is driven to rotate the shielding cylinder 902, opening the through hole on the storage cylinder 901.

By rotating and tightening the sealing cover 903, the insertion rod 9032 is driven to rotate the shielding cylinder 902, and the through hole on the storage cylinder 901 blocked by the shielding cylinder 902 is opened, so that the liquid nitrogen in the box body 1 can flow into the storage cylinder 901 through the through hole, and the frozen storage The freezing bracket 10 in the storage cylinder 901 is placed; the sealing cover 903 is opened by rotating, and the freezing bracket 10 stuck on the cross bar 9034 of the sealing cover 903 is taken out of the storage cylinder 901 by holding the sealing cover 903, and while rotating to open the sealing cover 903, the insertion rod 902 is driven to reverse the shielding cylinder 902, blocking the through hole on the storage cylinder 901, and preventing the liquid nitrogen from continuing to overflow, causing waste, and causing the temperature in the box body 1 to rise too quickly. The sealing cover 903 is used to prevent the hands from directly contacting the freezing bracket 10. At the same time, the sealing cover 903 can block part of the liquid nitrogen that overflows when the cover is opened, effectively protecting personnel.
