Specifically, the outer side wall of the cryogenic container inner head 11 is provided with a first reinforcing plate 15 around the first through hole 12.
[0033] See Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the inner neck tube 4 is disposed within the first through hole 12, and the inner end of the inner neck tube 4 extends into the vacuum cavity of the vacuum shroud 13, while the outer end of the inner neck tube 4 extends into the vacuum layer 3. The inner neck tube 4 is provided with an S-shaped long path channel for the conduction of cold energy of the cryogenic liquid medium 14. Specifically, the inner neck tube 4 includes a first support tube 401, a second support tube 402, and a third support tube 403 arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside, with a first gap 404 between the first support tube 401 and the second support tube 402, and a second gap 405 between the second support tube 402 and the third support tube 403.

[0034] The cryogenic container shell 2 is provided with a cryogenic container outer end cap 21 at its end, and the cryogenic container outer end cap 21 is provided with a second through hole 22 corresponding to the first through hole 12; specifically, the outer side wall of the cryogenic container outer end cap 21 is provided with a second reinforcing plate 23 for sealing the second through hole 22.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0037] External heat flows sequentially through the cryogenic container's outer end cap → fourth support tube → radial support sliding ring → first support tube → first support connecting ring → second support tube → second support connecting ring → third support tube → cryogenic container's inner end cap → cryogenic container's inner shell. The S-shaped long path channel design reduces heat by approximately 70% (determined by the thermal conductivity of the fiberglass radial support sliding ring).
[0038] Meanwhile, because the inner shell of the cryogenic container is filled with cryogenic liquid medium, after the external heat is transferred from the outer shell to the inner shell, the inner shell will shrink by about 3‰. The radial support sliding ring design allows for free axial movement, ensuring the insulation effect.
