Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid nitrogen pump technology, and in particular to an immersion liquid nitrogen pump. Background Technology
[0002] A liquid nitrogen pump is a cryogenic device used to dispense liquid nitrogen from a liquid nitrogen biological container. It is used in conjunction with liquid nitrogen tanks for liquid nitrogen output and transfer, and with laboratory equipment for liquid nitrogen replenishment. Applications include filling small Dewars, filling CCD detector Dewars, filling Dewars integrated into FTIR infrared spectrometers, cryogenic systems for liquid nitrogen-cooled thermal analyzers (TGA, STA, TMA, DMA, DMTA), cryogenic systems for cyclically cooled lasers, cyclically cooled electron microscopes, cyclically cooled cryogenic platforms, cyclically cooled MCT detectors, and cryogenic systems for cyclically cooled small samples.
[0003] Current liquid nitrogen pumps require sealing the discharge tank and have specific requirements regarding container diameter. Typically, a single liquid nitrogen pump can only be used with biological containers of a corresponding diameter, and the pressure cannot exceed 50 kPa. Therefore, they are highly limited and lack versatility, making it impossible to use liquid nitrogen pumps for discharge from many large-diameter biological containers.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a simple, unsealed, and applicable liquid nitrogen pump suitable for various diameter liquid nitrogen tanks has become a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an immersion liquid nitrogen pump, comprising an immersion liquid nitrogen pump body and a positive / negative pressure generating section structure; characterized in that: the immersion liquid nitrogen pump body includes a pump body shell, inside which a pump body chamber is formed, a suction pipe is arranged in the pump body chamber, the inner end of the suction pipe extends to the outside of the pump body chamber and is connected to a pressure tapping pipe, a control valve is provided at the distal end of the pressure tapping pipe, and the pressure tapping pipe is also connected to the positive / negative pressure generating section structure; the outer end of the suction pipe extends to the outside of the pump body chamber and forms a suction port, and a suction check valve is installed at the outer end of the suction pipe; a connection port extending through the wall thickness direction is provided on the side wall of the outer end of the suction pipe, allowing the suction pipe to communicate with the pump body chamber, and a discharge check valve is provided at the connection port; a discharge pipe is also arranged in the pump body chamber, the inner end of the discharge pipe extends to the outside of the pump body chamber and forms a discharge port.
[0007] As an optimization, the pump body chamber is designed with a cylindrical structure, and the suction pipe and discharge pipe are arranged along the axial direction of the pump body chamber.
[0008] As an optimization, a pressure tapping tube interface is provided at the inner end of the suction tube, and the pressure tapping tube connection is set on the pressure tapping tube connector; an outlet connector is provided at the inner end of the outlet tube.
[0009] As an optimization, an intermediate tube is connected to the connection port at the far end of the suction tube, and the liquid outlet check valve is installed on the intermediate tube.
[0010] Furthermore, the intermediate tube extends into the inner side of the inner circumferential wall of the suction tube.
[0011] As an optimization, the pump body housing includes a housing cylinder, with housing plates provided at both ends of the housing cylinder; and the pump body chamber is formed between the housing cylinder and the two housing plates.
[0012] As an optimization, a beveled structure is provided at the outer end of the suction tube.
[0013] As an optimization, the positive / negative pressure generating part includes a housing with a rectangular box structure, a cylinder is provided inside the housing, the cylinder is provided with positive / negative pressure ports and connected to a connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe is connected to the pressure tapping pipe; a driving mechanism is provided inside the housing and corresponding to the piston rod end of the cylinder, and the driving mechanism is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder and can drive the piston inside the cylinder to move to generate positive / negative pressure.
[0014] As an optimization, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor; it also includes a slider that can be slidably disposed longitudinally within the housing, the slider having a through hole disposed longitudinally, a connecting rod disposed within the through hole, one end of the connecting rod being connected to the piston rod end of the cylinder; the other end of the connecting rod being connected to the power output end of the drive motor via a crank mechanism.
[0015] Furthermore, a mounting plate is provided inside the housing, and the slider is fitted onto the mounting plate in a longitudinally movable manner.

The drive motor drives the crank mechanism, which in turn pushes and pulls the piston rod of the cylinder via a connecting rod. This achieves a suction and push action on the liquid nitrogen within the pump body. When the cylinder spindle pushes backward, a negative pressure is generated in the suction pipe, closing the outlet check valve and opening the suction check valve, allowing liquid nitrogen to be drawn into the suction pipe. When the cylinder piston rod pulls forward, a positive pressure is generated in the suction pipe, closing the suction check valve and opening the outlet check valve, pushing the liquid nitrogen into the pump body chamber and then into the outlet pipe. This cycle continues until the liquid nitrogen is discharged. Connecting a delivery pipe to the liquid nitrogen outlet connector allows the liquid nitrogen to be transported to a designated area. During use, the liquid nitrogen flow rate can be controlled via a motor speed controller. When drainage is not required, the pressure relief valve can be opened to prevent accidental activation and sudden drainage.

[0022] The positive / negative pressure generating section has a simple structure, making it easier to adjust. Furthermore, the driving section is more stable and efficient. Attached Figure Description
