For example, Patent 202222681817.2 provides a tissue freezing and dosing grinding device, and Patent 202121761232.0 provides a freezing grinding device. However, due to the danger of liquid nitrogen and its rapid volatilization rate, the above two devices have low safety, and the direct manual grinding method also has low grinding efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to improve safety and work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

Specifically, when the grinding cylinder starts to rotate, the frozen sample is thrown toward the inner wall of the grinding cylinder under the action of centrifugal force, and is gradually crushed and refined under the impact after contacting the grinding column. Compared with the grinding device in the prior art, the traditional rotating blade method is abolished and replaced with a grinding column directly fixed to the inner wall of the grinding cylinder, which greatly extends the service life of the device and does not require replacement of blades or rotating shafts.

Due to the supporting effect of the rotating support seat, the stability of the grinding drum can be guaranteed after it starts to rotate.

[0017] Furthermore, it includes a plurality of guide ring plates, which are coaxially fixed to the outer wall of the grinding cylinder in sequence along the axial direction of the grinding cylinder, and each of the guide ring plates is provided with a plurality of blades at intervals.

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] As shown in the figure, a freezing and grinding device for animal and plant samples includes a housing 1, a liquid nitrogen storage tank 2, a grinding assembly 3 and a sealing cover 4. The upper end of the housing 1 is open and can be sealed by the sealing cover 4. The lower end of the side wall thereof extends outwardly to connect with the liquid nitrogen inlet 110 and the liquid nitrogen outlet 120. The liquid nitrogen inlet 110 and the liquid nitrogen outlet 120 are arranged horizontally and opposite to each other; the liquid nitrogen storage tank 2 is connected to the liquid nitrogen inlet 110 through a delivery pipe to drive the liquid nitrogen from the liquid nitrogen inlet 110 into the housing 1 and then out of the liquid nitrogen outlet 120 to achieve rapid freezing; the grinding assembly 3 includes a grinding cylinder 310, a grinding cylinder drive mechanism 320 and a plurality of grinding columns 330 The diameter of the grinding cylinder 310 is smaller than that of the outer shell 1. Similarly, the upper end is open and coaxially located inside the outer shell 1. Its outer wall is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1. The grinding cylinder driving mechanism 320 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the outer shell 1, and its output end passes through the outer wall of the outer shell 1 and is transmission-connected to the grinding cylinder 310 to drive the grinding cylinder 310 to rotate inside the outer shell 1. Multiple grinding columns 330 are parallel to the axial direction of the grinding cylinder 310 and are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the inner wall of the grinding cylinder 310 and welded to the lower end of the side wall of the grinding cylinder 310. The lower end of the grinding column 330 is flush with the connection between the side wall and the bottom of the grinding cylinder 310. In this embodiment, the number of grinding columns 330 is 10.

[0040] Through the above technical scheme, the present invention provides a freezing and grinding device for animal and plant samples, which utilizes an independent and nested shell 1 and a grinding cylinder 310, in conjunction with a liquid nitrogen storage tank 2, so that the liquid nitrogen circulates in the chamber formed between the shell 1 and the grinding cylinder 310 to complete the freezing of the animal and plant samples in the grinding cylinder 310. The grinding cylinder 310 is rotatably connected to the shell 1 and is driven to rotate by a driving device. The grinding column 330 in its own cylinder can crush and grind the frozen sample under rotation. When the grinding cylinder 310 starts to rotate, the frozen sample is thrown toward the inner wall of the grinding cylinder 310 under the action of centrifugal force, and gradually crushed under the impact after contacting the grinding column 330. Compared with the grinding device in the prior art, the traditional rotating blade method is abolished and replaced with a grinding column 330 directly fixed on the inner wall of the grinding cylinder 310. There is no need to replace the blade or the rotating shaft and other structures. In addition, the presence of the sealing cover 4 can also effectively prevent the leakage of volatile nitrogen and the splashing of the ground powder out of the grinding cylinder 310.

[0041] To further improve the technical solution, the outer wall of each grinding column 330 has ridges along its circumference, and the number of ridges is an even number and at least 6, so that the cross-section of each grinding column 330 is a regular polygon, one side of the regular polygon is used to fit and weld with the inner wall of the grinding cylinder 310, and the remaining polygons and ridges are used to collide with the frozen sample rotating at high speed with the grinding cylinder 310. The presence of the ridges can make the frozen sample more concentrated when it contacts the grinding column 330, which helps to quickly break it into small pieces and then gradually into powder. In this embodiment, each grinding column 330 has six ridges and a regular hexagonal cross-section.

[0042] To further improve the technical solution, the grinding assembly 3 also includes an electric cylinder 340, a connecting rod 350 and a rolling head 360. The sealing cover 4 has an assembly cavity, and the electric cylinder 340 is installed in the assembly cavity. One end of the connecting rod 350 passes through the middle of the lower end of the sealing cover 4 and is transmission-connected to the movable end of the electric cylinder 340; the position of the connecting rod 350 ensures that it is in the same straight line as the axis of the grinding cylinder 310, and one end of the rolling head 360 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 350, and the shape of the other end is adapted to the bottom of the grinding cylinder 310, and a plurality of spherical protrusions 361 are detachably connected to its surface. Through the above technical solution, the rolling head 360 can be used to perform preliminary crushing of the frozen sample, and the sample after preliminary crushing is convenient for further refinement by the grinding column 330. The spherical protrusions 361 on the rolling head 360 can increase the pressure of the rolling head 360 on the sample, so that the rolling head 360 can easily crush the frozen sample.

[0043] In order to further improve the technical solution, the grinding component 3 also includes a hollow limit column 370 made of an insulation board. One end of the hollow limit column 370 is vertically and fixedly connected to the lower end of the sealing cover 4. The outer wall of the connecting rod 350 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow limit column 370. Through the above technical solution, the utility model can use the hollow limit column 370 to protect the connecting rod 350, and the existence of the hollow limit column 370 can play a certain guiding role to prevent the connecting rod 350 from being offset when it moves back and forth up and down under the drive of the electric cylinder 340 due to insufficient support and limitation on all sides, thereby affecting the effect of the initial crushing.

[0044] In order to further improve the technical solution, the bottom of the grinding cylinder 310 is arc-shaped, and the shape of the lower end surface of the rolling head 360 is adapted to the shape of the bottom of the grinding cylinder 310, and the multiple protrusions 361 are spirally distributed along the arc surface of the rolling head 360 with the fixed point of the arc surface of the rolling head 360 as the starting point. Through the above technical solution, the utility model can make the sample gather at the bottom of the grinding cylinder 310, and then cooperate with the rolling head 360 whose shape is adapted to the bottom of the grinding cylinder 310 to ensure that the actual effective rolling area is the same as the bottom area of ​​the grinding cylinder 310. The spirally distributed protrusions combined with the arc surface can also effectively ensure the uniformity of the rolling process.

[0045] To further improve the technical solution, the grinding cylinder drive mechanism 320 includes a rotating motor 321, a reducer and a rotating support seat 322. The casing of the rotating motor 321 is fixed to the bottom of the outer shell 1 by bolts; the reducer is coaxially installed on the motor shaft of the rotating motor 321, and the output shaft of the reducer passes vertically through the bottom of the outer shell 1 and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1. In order to ensure sealing, a sealing ring is installed at the connection between the output shaft of the reducer and the bottom of the outer shell 1. In particular, it is a metal seal. The lower end face of the rotating support seat 322 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1. In order to reduce friction, a ball connection can be used. At the same time, a mounting blind hole is opened at the bottom center of the rotating support seat 322. The output shaft of the reducer is inserted into the mounting blind hole and fixedly connected to it. The upper end face of the rotating support seat 322 adapts to the arc of the bottom of the grinding cylinder 310 and is coaxially fixed and welded to the grinding cylinder 310. Through the above technical solution, this application uses a rotating motor 321 and a reducer to realize reduction transmission, and drives the grinding cylinder 310 to rotate through the rotating support seat 322. Due to the supporting effect of the rotating support seat 322, the stability of the grinding cylinder 310 can be guaranteed after it starts to rotate.

[0046] In order to further improve the technical solution, it also includes multiple guide ring plates 5, which are coaxially fixed to the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 310 along the axial direction of the grinding cylinder 310. Each guide ring plate 5 is provided with multiple blades 510 at intervals, and the blade surfaces of the multiple blades 510 are arranged obliquely with respect to the horizontal direction. Through the above technical solution, the utility model installs multiple guide ring plates 5 on the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 310 so that the guide ring plates 5 rotate together with the grinding cylinder 310. The rotation of the guide ring plates 5 drives the airflow of the outer shell 1, thereby assisting the liquid nitrogen to quickly fill the space inside the outer shell 1.

[0047] To further improve the technical solution, the invention further includes a fixed bearing 6 and multiple annular sealing strips 7. The fixed bearing 6 is mounted on the inner wall of the housing 1, and the upper end of the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 310 is rotatably connected to the fixed bearing 6. The multiple annular sealing strips 7 are located above the fixed bearing 6 and are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 in sequence along the axial direction of the housing 1. The lower end of the sealing cover 4 is provided with an annular sealing plate 410, which abuts against the annular sealing strips 7 to complete the seal. In particular, the annular sealing strips 7 are made of metal. Through the above technical solution, the present invention utilizes the fixed bearing 6 to rotatably assemble the grinding cylinder 310 within the housing 1, and utilizes the multiple annular sealing strips 7 and the annular sealing plate 410 at the lower end of the sealing cover 4 to complete the sealing of the housing 1, preventing the escape of volatile nitrogen.

[0048] In order to further improve the technical solution, it also includes a support component 8, which includes a hollow base 810 and a rotating shaft 820. The base 810 is a rectangular hollow shell, and there are two rotating shafts 820, which are arranged opposite to each other and horizontally rotated on two opposite sides of the base 810. The outer shell 1 is arranged in the base 810, and the upper ends of the side walls are rotatably connected to the two rotating shafts 820, and the outer bottom is suspended. Through the above technical solution, the outer shell 1 together with the grinding cylinder 310 inside it can be swung along the rotating shaft 820, which can drive the frozen sample inside the grinding cylinder 310 to repeatedly contact the grinding column 330 inside the grinding cylinder 310, helping the grinding cylinder 310 to quickly complete the crushing and grinding of the frozen sample.

[0049] In order to further improve the technical solution, a liquid nitrogen pump and a compressor 9 are also provided. The liquid nitrogen pump is directly connected to the liquid nitrogen storage tank 2, and its gas outlet is connected to the liquid nitrogen inlet 110 through a delivery pipe. The liquid nitrogen pump is a prior art and is a conventional practical tool for quickly gasifying liquid nitrogen in the field of liquid nitrogen applications. Since the principle and usage method are common knowledge in the field, they will not be described here and are not shown in the figure. The compressor 9 is connected to the liquid nitrogen outlet 120. The compressor 9 is used to collect the nitrogen leaving the device and re-compress it into liquid nitrogen. The compressor 9 can be connected to an empty liquid nitrogen storage tank 2 or directly form a liquid nitrogen circulation device with the current liquid nitrogen storage tank 2. Since the principle and usage method of the compressor are also common knowledge in the field of heat exchange technology, they will not be described here. Through the above technical solution, the utility model can use the liquid nitrogen pump to quickly gasify the liquid nitrogen and then pass it into the interior of the housing 1 along the liquid nitrogen inlet 110, and under the action of the annular guide plate 5, help the gasified liquid nitrogen to flow out through the liquid nitrogen outlet 120 and be recompressed by the compressor 9, thereby realizing the recycling of liquid nitrogen and achieving the effect of saving resources.
