[0038] In addition, the situation in the working area can be observed through the transparent plate 112, and there is no delay phenomenon compared with monitoring observation through the camera, thereby eliminating the risk of being unable to stop running in time.
[0039] In some embodiments, the transparent plate 112 can be a transparent plastic plate, such as an acrylic plate, which has high transparency and high hardness and is not easy to be damaged, and is beneficial to cost control.
[0040] In some embodiments, at least two long-arm gloves 20 are arranged on at least one side plate of the storage body 10, so as to facilitate two-hand operation through the long-arm gloves 20.
[0041] In order to facilitate installation of the long-arm gloves 20, in some embodiments, a flange 40 is arranged in the mounting hole, and the flange 40 is fixedly connected with the long-arm gloves 20. Specifically, the edge of the long-arm gloves 20 at the entrance end is fixed with the flange 40, and the flange 40 can be fixed on the storage body 10 by means of screws, pins or other fasteners or by means of glue, so as to fix the long-arm gloves 20 on the storage body 10.

[0042] Optionally, the transparent plate 112 is provided with two mounting holes, and each mounting hole is communicated with the long-arm gloves 20, so as to facilitate two-hand operation of the operator.
[0043] In some embodiments, the opposite side plates of the storage body 10 each include a transparent plate 112, and each transparent plate 112 is connected with a long-arm glove 20, so as to facilitate the operator to operate from one side or two operators to operate from both sides according to actual needs, and the length of the long-arm glove 20 can completely solve the problem of any position in the operation area, thereby quickly solving the fault.
[0044] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figures, the storage body 10 includes a box body 11 and an outer decorative plate 12. The box body 11 includes a box body 111 and a transparent plate 112. At least one side of the box body 111 is provided with an observation window, and the observation window is correspondingly provided with the transparent plate 112. The outer decorative plate 12 is movably connected with the box body 11. The outer decorative plate 12 is located outside the box body 11, and is used to expose or shield the transparent plate 112. When it is needed to observe the operation area through the transparent plate 112 or to use the long-arm gloves 20, the outer decorative plate 12 is moved to a state of exposing the transparent plate 112. When it is not needed to observe the operation area, the outer decorative plate 12 is moved to a state of shielding the transparent plate 112,
[0045] In some embodiments, the outer cover 12 is rotatably connected to the box 11, so that the outer cover 12 can be flipped relative to the box 11. When the long-arm glove 20 needs to be used or the transparent plate 112 needs to be exposed, the outer cover 12 is flipped outward relative to the box 11, so that the outer cover 12 is arranged at an angle with the transparent plate 112 on the box 11.
[0046] Optionally, the top end of the outer cover 12 is rotatably connected to the box 11.

[0048] Illustratively, the support can be a support rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the box 11, and the other end of which is used to support the outer cover 12.
[0049] Optionally, a first limiting portion can be arranged on the box 11, which can abut against the support to limit the maximum angle of rotation of the support relative to the box 11.
[0050] Optionally, a second limiting portion can be arranged on the box 11, which can abut against the top end of the outer cover 12 to limit the maximum angle of rotation of the outer cover 12 relative to the box 11.
[0051] In some embodiments, a sealing member is arranged between the transparent plate 112 and the box body 111 to seal the operation area, which is conducive to controlling the parameters in the operation area, such as temperature, to meet the operation requirements.
[0052] The existing workstation has the problem that the humidity in the operation area is high, and the carrier of the sample and the cryopreservation rack are prone to frost. The main reason is that the carrier of the sample enters a high-temperature environment from a low-temperature environment during the in-out process, and water vapor is easily condensed on the surface of the carrier, finally leading to icing or frosting. Since the cryopreservation rack is also exposed in the operation area, the cryopreservation rack is also prone to frosting or icing, which will have a great impact on the in-out of the sample.
[0053] To solve the above problems, the biological sample storage device further comprises a moisture removal assembly in communication with the storage body 10, for introducing liquefied inert gas into the storage body 10, and the storage body 10 is provided with a pressure relief port for discharging the moisture in the storage body 10. When the liquefied inert gas is introduced into the storage body 10, the liquefied inert gas vaporizes and absorbs a large amount of heat, so that the temperature in the operation area is reduced, and the original moisture in the operation area is discharged out of the storage body 10 through the vaporized inert gas through the pressure relief port, greatly reducing the possibility of frost or ice formation of the cryogenic storage rack in the operation area; the inert gas remains in the storage body 10 and does not affect the storage or other operations of the sample.
[0054] Optionally, the inert gas can be nitrogen, argon or helium.
[0055] In some embodiments, a pressure relief valve 50 is arranged in the pressure relief port, and the pressure relief valve 50 is in a normally closed state and opens when the air pressure in the storage body 10 reaches a preset value. By arranging the pressure relief valve 50, the pressure relief port can be closed when the liquefied inert gas is not injected into the operation area, and the operation area is sealed.
[0056] In some embodiments, the moisture removal assembly comprises a liquid storage tank and an exhaust pipe, the exhaust pipe is in communication with the liquid storage tank and the storage body 10, and the liquid storage tank is used for storing the liquefied inert gas. The liquid storage tank is located outside the storage body 10, and the exhaust pipe is in communication with the liquid storage tank and the storage body 10, which is beneficial to simplify the structure and realize the provision of the liquefied inert gas into the storage body 10.
[0057] In some embodiments, the end of the exhaust pipe in communication with the storage body 10 extends along the bottom surface of the storage body 10, which can control the height of the sprayed liquefied inert gas, avoid direct contact of the inert gas with the sample on the cryogenic storage rack, and is beneficial to ensure that the sample is not damaged.
[0058] In some embodiments, the exhaust pipe is a coil pipe 31, and the coil pipe 31 extends in a curved manner, which is beneficial to prolong the flow path of the liquefied inert gas, fully absorb the heat in the operation area, and reduce the probability of frost or ice formation of the cryogenic storage rack.
[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not a limitation on the embodiments of the present application. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of the present application. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
