The cabinet includes a cabinet body with two baffles fixedly connected inside. Each baffle has a set of symmetrical movable slots at its center. A set of symmetrical moving mechanisms is fixedly connected to the bottom of each baffle. A first placement plate is fixedly connected to the top of each moving mechanism, and the first placement plate is positioned above the baffles. Lifting mechanisms are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of each first placement plate. A second placement plate is fixedly connected to the top of each lifting mechanism. A set of symmetrical placement boxes is fixedly connected to the rear of the cabinet, and the interior of each placement box is connected to the interior of the cabinet. This invention facilitates the retrieval and placement of samples by staff, making work more convenient and improving efficiency. It not only makes sample storage more stable but also better adapts to the storage of sample tubes of different sizes, reducing production costs.

[0004] The aforementioned storage cabinets facilitate the retrieval and placement of samples by staff, making the work more convenient and improving work efficiency.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This embodiment of a laboratory sample storage cabinet includes a cabinet body 1 and a control box 2 disposed on one side of the cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 has a set of storage cavities 101 inside, and a partition plate 102 is disposed between every two adjacent storage cavities 101. Each partition plate 102 is filled with an insulation board 103. Through the arrangement of multiple storage cavities 101, the purpose of classifying and storing different types of samples can be achieved. Each storage cavity 101 has two inner side walls provided with slide rails 5. Through the above arrangement, it is convenient for users to install storage boxes or brackets according to their needs and adjust the bracket spacing as needed.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The back of the cabinet 1 is provided with a ventilation component 3, which includes a housing 301. The housing 301 is fixedly connected to the back of the cabinet 1. A grille 302 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the housing 301. Multiple sets of heatable fans 303 are provided in the middle of the housing 301. Multiple dustproof nets 304 are installed on the housing 301. Each dustproof net 304 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjacent storage cavity 101. The combination design of the grille 302 at the rear end of the housing 301 and the heatable fan 303 can realize the setting of different temperatures in multiple storage cavities 101 to meet personalized needs.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The back of the control box 2 is provided with a humidification component 4, which includes a humidifier 401. The output end of the humidifier 401 is fixedly connected to a main pipe 402. The outer surface of the main pipe 402 is fixedly connected to a group of branch pipes 403. The other end of each branch pipe 403 is fixedly connected to a storage cavity 101 that is close to it. A solenoid valve 404 is installed at one end of each branch pipe 403. With the humidity sensor, the humidity of each storage cavity 101 can be individually controlled and supplemented. A temperature and humidity sensor 6 is installed on the inner top wall of each storage cavity 101. With the setting of the temperature and humidity sensor 6, the temperature and humidity inside the storage cavity 101 can be monitored.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 andFigure 3 The control box 2 has a fixed placement platform 7 on its front, which allows users to temporarily place samples for easy labeling. The control box 2 also has a label scanner 8 on its front, which can automatically record sample entry information by scanning the barcode or QR code on the sample, thus facilitating user management. The control box 2 also has a label printer 9 on its front, which can automatically generate and print labels based on sample information, making it easy to affix to the sample container for tracking and management. The control box 2 also has a control panel 10 on its front, which integrates a display screen and operation buttons, and can display the temperature and humidity status of the storage chamber 101 and control the operation of the heating fan and humidifier 401.

[0039] This embodiment of a laboratory sample storage cabinet, through the independent storage chamber 101 and the heat preservation design of the partition plate 102, combined with the zoned air supply of the heated fan 303 and the humidity independent compensation system of the humidification component 4, can realize differentiated temperature and humidity storage of samples such as blood, tissue sections, and vaccines, avoiding the sample activity loss caused by the traditional single storage environment. The temperature and humidity sensor 6 can ensure that the environmental parameters of each chamber are stable within the set threshold, improving the stability of the storage environment. Through the slide rail 5 and the external bracket, it can be adapted to sample containers of different sizes. Through the label scanner 8 and the label printer 9, "one item, one code" full traceability is realized, improving the convenience of sample storage management.

[0040] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: First, the samples are classified and placed into each independent storage chamber 101. The storage chamber 101 is separated by a partition plate 102, and the partition plate 102 is filled with an insulation plate 103 to ensure that the environment in each storage chamber 101 is relatively independent and stable. This design can avoid mutual influence between different types of samples, while meeting the specific requirements of different samples for the storage environment. The ventilation component 3 on the back of the body starts to work. Multiple sets of heatable fans 303 draw in air through the grille 302 at the rear of the outer shell 301, and after heating, send it into each storage chamber 101. Since each storage chamber 101 is connected to the ventilation component 3 through a dustproof net 304, it can be ensured that the air sent in is both clean and meets the set temperature requirements. This zoned air supply design allows each storage chamber 101 to reach the required temperature, meeting personalized storage needs. The moisture generated by the humidifier 401 is sent into each storage chamber through the main pipe 402 and the branch pipes 403. Each storage chamber 101 has a solenoid valve 404 at the end of each branch pipe 403 that independently controls the amount of moisture replenishment based on feedback from a humidity sensor. In this way, the humidity of each storage chamber 101 can be precisely controlled within a set range, ensuring the preservation quality of the samples. The temperature and humidity sensors 6 inside the storage chamber 101 monitor environmental parameters in real time and feed the data back to the control panel 10. The display screen on the control panel 10 can intuitively display the temperature and humidity status of each storage chamber 101. At the same time, users can adjust the operating parameters of the heating fan and humidifier 401 through the operation buttons to ensure that the environmental parameters are stable within the set threshold. The label scanner 8 and label printer 9 on the front of the control box 2 provide convenient sample management functions. Users can scan the barcode or QR code on the sample to automatically record sample information and generate corresponding labels for affixing. In this way, each sample can achieve full traceability with "one item, one code", which greatly improves the convenience of sample storage management.
