[0024] Example

[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment of a cell storage transport box includes a transport box body 1. A sliding groove 2 is provided inside the transport box body 1, and a lead screw 3 is installed inside the sliding groove 2. A drive assembly 5 is provided on one side of the transport box body 1. The lead screw 3 is rotatably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 2 via the drive assembly 5. A screw block 4 is threaded onto the outer surface of the lead screw 3. A movable plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw block 4. Storage slots 8 are provided on both sides of the top of the movable plate 7. A first pulley 9 is slidably connected inside the storage slot 8. A tube rack 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the first pulley 9. A connecting assembly 10 is provided between the movable plate 7 and the tube rack 6. Through this improvement, staff can more easily and quickly remove or place the tube rack 6 and test tubes without performing complex actions in a confined space, thereby improving the overall smoothness of the operation.

[0026] refer to Figure 3The drive assembly 5 includes a drive gear 52, which is rotatably connected to the transfer box body 1. A driven gear 53 is meshed with one side of the drive gear 52. The driven gear 53 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 3. A handwheel 51 is fixedly connected to one side of the drive gear 52. By setting the drive assembly 5, rotating the handwheel 51 drives the drive gear 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 53 to rotate. This causes the driven gear 53 to drive the lead screw 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw block 4 to slide in the slide groove 2. This causes the screw block 4 to move the moving plate 7, providing power for the tube rack 6 to move out of the transfer box body 1.

[0027] refer to Figure 6 The tube rack 6 is fixedly connected to a placement tube 11, and multiple placement tubes 11 are provided. A spring 12 is fixedly connected inside the placement tube 11, and a positioning plate 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the spring 12. The positioning plate 13 has an arc-shaped structure. By installing placement tubes 11 on the tube rack 6 for placing test tubes, and setting springs 12 and positioning plates 13 for positioning test tubes inside placement tubes 11, the adaptability to placing different test tubes within a certain range is improved.

[0028] refer to Figure 5 The connecting component 10 includes a magnetic block 101, which is fixedly connected to the movable plate 7. A metal embedding block 102 is magnetically connected to one side of the magnetic block 101, and the metal embedding block 102 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 7. An embedding seat 104 is fixedly connected to one side of the tube rack 6, and one side of the metal embedding block 102 is movably connected to the inside of the embedding seat 104. A pull rod 103 is fixedly connected to one side of the metal embedding block 102. By setting the connecting component 10, after the first pulley 9 connected to the tube rack 6 is slid into the storage groove 8 of the movable plate 7, the pull rod 103 is pushed. The pull rod 103 drives the metal embedding block 102 to move so that it is magnetically connected to the magnetic block 101. At this time, the metal embedding block 102 is inserted into the embedding seat 104, preventing the tube rack 6 from sliding off the movable plate 7. It is also very convenient to remove the tube rack 6 later.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 The bottom of the transfer box body 1 is equipped with a second pulley 14, and there are four second pulleys 14 in total; by setting four second pulleys 14, it is convenient for staff to move the transfer box body 1.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 A mounting block 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the transfer box body 1, and a box door 16 is slidably connected to one side of the mounting block 15, covering one side of the transfer box body 1. By setting the mounting block 15, the box door 16 is connected to the transfer box body 1. Setting the box door 16 can cover the opening of the transfer box body 1 and prevent the internal tube rack 6 from being exposed and damaged.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 A handle 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the pipe rack 6. The handle 17 has a T-shaped structure. By setting the T-shaped handle 17, it is convenient for workers to pull the pipe rack 6 to move, which facilitates the removal of the pipe rack 6.

[0032] Operating principle and advantages: When it is necessary to remove the tube rack 6 or place the test tubes in the tube 11, pull the box door 16. One side of the box door 16 slides within the mounting block 15, allowing the box door 16 to slide to the other side. Turning the handwheel 51 drives the drive gear 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 53 to rotate. The driven gear 53 then drives the lead screw 3 to rotate, causing the screw block 4 on the drive surface of the lead screw 3 to slide within the sliding groove 2. This causes the screw block 4 to move the moving plate 7, which in turn causes the tube rack 6 to extend out of the transfer box body 1, allowing workers to remove the tubes more easily and quickly. The tube rack 6 and test tubes are placed or removed to reduce test tube breakage due to improper operation. Then, the pull rod 103 is pushed, which moves the metal insert block 102 away from the insert seat 104. The metal insert block 102 separates from the magnetic block 101. At this time, the tube rack 6 is no longer fixed. Then, the first pulley 9 of the tube rack 6 is pushed to slide in the storage groove 8 by the handle 17 to remove the tube rack 6. Then, the tube rack 6 is pushed to move on the experimental platform to reduce the time that the staff stay in front of the transfer box body 1, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the experimental process.
