[0023] The body 1 is made of the common stem cell storage tank material on the market, and the placing rack can conveniently place the stem cell cryopreservation tube. The body 1 is composed of the abdomen 2 in the middle lower part and the neck 3 in the middle upper part. The liquid nitrogen is stored in the abdomen 2, and the cryopreservation tube at the bottom of the placing rack is located in the liquid nitrogen. The neck 3 is longer than the existing storage tank. The sealing cover 4 can seal the body 1. The support frame 5 is fixedly connected to the neck 3. The partition plate 6 is located on the support frame 5. The opening 7 is formed between the adjacent two partition plates 6. The placing rack can be placed into the body 1 through the opening 7. The two shafts one 8 are rotatably connected to the middle upper part of the support frame 5 through torsion springs. The two shafts two 10 are rotatably connected to the middle lower part of the support frame 5 through torsion springs. The door one 9 is fixedly connected to the shaft one 8. The door two 11 is fixedly connected to the shaft two 10. The gear one 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the shaft one 8. The two gear ones 12 are located on the same plane. The gear two 16 is fixedly connected to the shaft two 10. The push plate one 13 and the push plate two 14 are arranged in a staggered manner. The two racks one 15 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the push plate one 13. The push plate one 13 can be lifted to drive the two doors one 9 to be opened. The push plate two 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two racks two 17. The push plate two 14 can be lifted to drive the two doors two 11 to be opened.
