Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cell storage technology, specifically relating to a classification and preservation box for cell storage and transportation. Background Technology

[0002] The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of an organism. It is the smallest unit of all living organisms with complete vitality, except for viruses.

[0003] Cell storage refers to the process of preserving cells at extremely low temperatures for future use. Cell storage boxes are used to facilitate the transport and delivery of cells. After cells are collected in test tubes, the test tubes are placed inside the cell storage box, which can preserve the cells at low temperatures.

[0004] Existing cell storage boxes are inconvenient for placing and removing test tubes containing cells inside the box during use. They also lack protection against damage to the bottom of the box, and the test tubes are easily damaged by shaking during movement.

[0005] Chinese patent number 202322647234.2 discloses a cell storage and transport box with easy-to-access functions. Through a storage device and a support device, two trays containing multiple test tubes can be placed inside the box. A lifting component allows for easy raising and lowering of the two trays. A locking component allows for fixing and separating the trays from the movable block, facilitating easy access to the test tubes and protecting the bottom of the box and the test tubes. However, this cell storage and transport box can only store single-type cells, without classifying them according to cell type, which can easily lead to storage confusion. Furthermore, it can only store test tubes of a single diameter, and cannot store test tubes of different diameters. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a classification and preservation box for cell storage and transportation. The technical problem to be solved is that the existing cell storage and transportation devices can only be used for storage tubes of a single diameter and cannot store test tubes of different diameters.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model provides a classification and preservation box for cell storage and transportation, including a box body, a cooling chamber, a clamping assembly, and a gas supply assembly. The cooling chamber is located at the bottom of the box body to generate cold air. The clamping assembly is located in the box body to clamp the cell storage tubes placed therein. The gas supply assembly is located at the bottom of the box body and communicates with the cooling chamber to transmit the cold air generated by the cooling chamber to the inside of the box body.

[0009] By setting multiple storage chambers in the box, each with a corresponding clamping component, cell storage tubes can be classified and stored, and the clamping components can hold them firmly to avoid collision damage during transportation. This achieves the classification and stable preservation of cell storage tubes. By setting up a gas supply component, cold air generated in the refrigeration chamber is transmitted to each storage chamber to ensure that the temperature in each storage chamber is uniform, providing a suitable and stable low-temperature environment for cell storage, which is beneficial for long-term cell storage and transportation.

[0010] Optionally, the housing is provided with several receiving cavities, each of which is provided with a clamping component. The corresponding air supply component transmits cold air to each receiving cavity. By providing several receiving cavities, and placing a cell storage tube in each receiving cavity, the cells can be classified and stored.

[0011] Optionally, each of the clamping components includes a fixed cylinder, multiple telescopic mechanisms, and multiple corresponding fixing plates. The fixed cylinder is disposed in the receiving cavity, the telescopic mechanisms are arranged in a circumferential array on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, and the fixing plates are fixed to the telescopic end of each telescopic mechanism to clamp the cell storage tube placed therein. By setting the clamping components, cell storage tubes of different diameters can be clamped.

[0012] Optionally, the telescopic mechanism includes a fixed column, a spring, and a movable cylinder. The fixed column is disposed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, the spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed column, and the movable cylinder is axially movably sleeved on the fixed column, with one end abutting against the spring and the other end connected to the fixing plate. By setting the spring, the fixing plate is driven to clamp the outer wall of the cell storage tube under the action of the spring. Under normal conditions, the spring is in a compressed state, thereby realizing the clamping and fixing of cell storage tubes of different diameters.

[0013] Optionally, the gas delivery assembly includes a main gas delivery pipe, branch gas delivery pipes, abutment seats, and a gas delivery box. One end of the branch gas delivery pipe is connected to the abutment seat, and the other end is connected to the main gas delivery pipe. The abutment seats are correspondingly disposed at the bottom of each receiving cavity. The gas delivery box has an inlet connected to the cooling chamber and an outlet connected to the main gas delivery pipe. By coordinating the main gas delivery pipe, branch gas delivery pipes, abutment seats, and gas delivery box, the cold air generated in the cooling chamber can be introduced from the inlet of the gas delivery box, passed through the main gas delivery pipe, and then precisely distributed to the abutment seats at the bottom of each receiving cavity through the branch gas delivery pipes, and finally enters the receiving cavity. This achieves efficient transmission and distribution of cold air in each receiving cavity, ensuring that each receiving cavity can obtain the cold air required for cooling, and providing a stable and suitable low-temperature environment for cell storage.

[0014] Optionally, the cooling chamber includes a thermoelectric cooler, a clamping plate, and heat dissipation fins. The rectangular frame structure of the clamping plate is fixed to the inner wall of the cooling chamber. The thermoelectric cooler is embedded and fixed in the clamping plate, with its cooling surface facing the air inlet of the gas delivery box. The heat dissipation fins are fixed at intervals to the heating surface of the thermoelectric cooler. By facing the cooling surface of the thermoelectric cooler towards the air inlet of the gas delivery box, the cold air generated by the cooling can be directly transferred to the gas delivery assembly, allowing the cold air to quickly enter each cavity inside the chamber, providing a low-temperature environment for the cell storage tubes. The heat dissipation fins fixed at intervals to the heating surface of the thermoelectric cooler can effectively dissipate the heat generated by the heating surface of the thermoelectric cooler, preventing heat accumulation in the cooling chamber and affecting the cooling effect. This ensures that the thermoelectric cooler can work continuously and stably, maintaining the normal operation of the cooling chamber.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. The cell storage and transportation classification box of this utility model has multiple accommodating cavities in the box body, each with a corresponding clamping component. It can classify and store cell storage tubes and hold them firmly by the clamping components to avoid collision and damage during transportation. This achieves classification and stable preservation of cell storage tubes. By setting up a gas supply component, cold air generated in the cooling chamber is transmitted to each accommodating cavity to ensure uniform temperature in each cavity. This provides a suitable and stable low-temperature environment for cell storage, which is beneficial for long-term cell storage and transportation.

[0017] 2. The cell storage and transportation classification box of this utility model is equipped with springs. Under the action of the springs, the fixing plates clamp the outer wall of the cell storage tubes. Under normal conditions, the springs are in a compressed state, which can clamp and fix cell storage tubes of different diameters. By setting up a gas supply main pipe, gas supply branches, abutment seats and gas supply boxes, the cold air generated by the cooling chamber can be introduced from the air inlet of the gas supply box, through the gas supply main pipe, and then through the gas supply branches to be accurately distributed to the abutment seats at the bottom of each receiving cavity, and finally enter the receiving cavity. This realizes the efficient transmission and distribution of cold air in each receiving cavity, ensuring that each receiving cavity can obtain the cold air required for cooling, and providing a stable and suitable low temperature environment for cell storage.
