[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the stem cell cryopreservation box proposed in this embodiment includes a storage box 1, a sealing mechanism, and multiple placement tubes 5.

[0024] The upper end of the storage box 1 is open, and a partition 6 is horizontally arranged inside the storage box 1. The space separated by the bottom end of the partition 6 is a cooling cavity. A cooler 2 for cooling the inside of the cooling cavity is installed on the storage box 1. The cooler 2 can be a single-plate cooler. Furthermore, in order to facilitate carrying the storage box 1, a handle 3 is installed on the storage box 1.

[0025] Multiple placement tubes 5 are vertically arranged inside the storage box 1, and the placement tubes 5 penetrate the partition 6. The storage box 1, partition 6, and placement tubes 5 are all coated with heat-insulating paint. Multiple cold air inlets 501 are provided on the placement tubes 5. A movable seat 12 is provided inside the placement tube 5. It should be noted that, to improve the sealing between the movable seat 12 and the inner wall of the placement tube 5, multiple sealing films 12 are provided around the movable seat. For convenient placement of test tubes, a test tube placement groove is provided on the movable seat 12, and a sponge 14 is placed inside the test tube placement groove. The sponge acts as a cushioning agent. A first elastic component is connected between the movable seat 12 and the placement tube 5. The first elastic component includes a first guide rod 151, a first spring 152, and a first limiting block 153. The first guide rod 151 is vertically arranged inside the placement tube 5, the movable seat 12 is slidably arranged on the first guide rod 151, the first limiting block 153 is arranged at the end of the first guide rod 151, and the first spring 152 is sleeved and installed at the bottom of the first guide rod 151. The first elastic component is used to realize the rapid upward reset of the movable seat 12. A limiting tube 10 is provided on the upper inner side of the placement tube 5.

[0026] The sealing mechanism includes a cover plate 4 and multiple sealing covers 7; the cover plate 4 is located at the upper end of the opening of the storage box 1, and the cover plate 4 and the storage box 1 have a detachable connection structure; multiple sealing covers 7 are arranged one-to-one with multiple placement tubes 5, and a straight rotating block 8 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the sealing cover 7. Multiple first circular holes 401 are opened on the cover plate 4 for multiple sealing covers 7 to pass through. An annular groove 402 is provided on the periphery of the first circular hole 401, and insertion holes 403 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the first circular hole 401.

[0027] A push rod 9 is vertically connected to the sealing cap 7. When sealing the upper end of the placement tube 5, the push rod 9 is inserted into the inside of the placement tube 5. The bottom end of the push rod 9 presses against the movable seat 12 to move, so that the sealing cap 7 does not need to press the test tube to move and thus drive the movable seat 12 to move, avoiding damage to the test tube.

[0028] The upper end of the limiting tube 10 is provided with a funnel 11, and the funnel 11 is provided with a through hole 111 for the push rod 9 to be inserted. The bottom end of the push rod 9 is pointed, which makes it easy for the push rod 9 to be inserted into the inside of the through hole 111.

[0029] Specifically, when placing the test tube containing the stem cells, first rotate the push rod 9 so that its two ends are aligned with the corresponding two insertion holes 403. Then, move the sealing cap 7 out from the inside of the first circular hole 401, separating the sealing cap 7 from the placement tube 5. To improve the sealing between the sealing cap 7 and the placement tube 5, a sealing gasket can be placed at the bottom of the sealing cap 7. Then, insert the test tube into the inside of the limiting tube 10, so that the bottom of the test tube contacts the movable seat 12. The limiting tube 10 is used to limit the test tube. In this state, the movable seat 12 covers the multiple cold air inlets 501, so that the cold air in the cooling cavity will not flow out through the cold air inlets 501. Then, align the sealing cap 7 with the first circular hole 401, so that the sealing cap 7 presses on the upper end of the test tube, and push... The test tube gradually moves downwards. When both ends of the rotating block 8 are inserted into the designated positions in the insertion holes 403 on both sides, the rotating block 8 is driven to rotate so that both ends are engaged inside the annular groove 402, thereby limiting the sealing cover 7. At this time, the sealing cover 7 covers the upper opening of the placement tube 5. After the test tube moves downwards to the designated position, the movable seat 12 moves downwards to the designated position. At this time, multiple cold air inlets 501 are exposed, allowing cold air to enter the inside of the placement tube 5 to cool the test tube. It should be added that after the cover plate 4 is disassembled from the storage box 1, lifting the cover plate 4 can drive multiple sealing covers 7 to move synchronously, thus eliminating the need to disassemble multiple sealing covers 7 one by one, which facilitates the simultaneous placement of multiple test tubes.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the stem cell cryopreservation box, compared to Embodiment 1, both ends of the bottom of the cover plate 4 are connected to insertion rods 19, and the bottom ends of the insertion rods 19 are provided with wedge-shaped blocks 20; both ends of the storage box 1 are provided with movable locking blocks 16 that movably penetrate their side walls, and the movable locking blocks 16 have rectangular holes 161; a second elastic component is connected between the movable locking blocks 16 and the storage box 1, the second elastic component including a second guide rod 181, a second spring 182 and a second limiting block 183, wherein the movable locking blocks 16 are connected to a connecting slider 17, and the second guide rod 181 is connected to the inner wall of the storage box 1, connecting... The slider 17 is slidably mounted on the second guide rod 181, the second limiting block 183 is mounted on the end of the second guide rod 181, and the second spring 182 is sleeved on the second guide rod 181. When the cover plate 4 is fixedly connected to the storage box 1, the cover plate 4 is aligned with the upper end of the storage box 1, so that the wedge block 20 is inserted into the inner side of the rectangular hole 161. The inclined surface of the wedge block 20 presses the movable locking block 16 to move. When the wedge block 20 moves to the position below the movable locking block 16, the movable locking block 16 is driven to reset under the elastic force of the second spring 182, so as to realize the locking and limiting of the wedge block 20. Its fixing structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0032] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
