Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample transfer equipment technology, specifically a novel cryogenic transfer tank. Background Technology

[0002] Sample vial transport containers are primarily used for the safe and convenient transport of various sample vials. They provide robust protection for the vials, preventing sample leakage or container damage due to vibration or collision during transport. Additionally, some transport containers feature temperature control and corrosion protection functions, adapting to the storage environment requirements of different samples (such as chemical reagents and biological samples) and ensuring sample stability. Widely used in laboratories, medical, and chemical industries, they are essential tools for ensuring the integrity and safety of samples during transport.

[0003] A relevant reference is Chinese utility model patent CN219619764U, which discloses a sample transfer device. This device includes: a receiving base with multiple receiving positions; multiple receiving containers, each corresponding to one of the receiving positions, movably installed within its respective receiving position; at least one limiting plane on the outer wall of each receiving container, the limiting plane abutting against the receiving position; and a receiving cavity within each receiving container, the opening of which is fitted with a sealing cap. During transportation, the receiving containers protect the sample from spillage, and the samples are preserved within the containers, ensuring that moisture in the coal powder sample is not lost. When transferring the coal powder sample to the laboratory for testing, it maintains the original state of the sample, significantly reducing experimental errors and improving the accuracy of test data.

[0004] Currently, the new cryogenic transfer tanks in use still have the following problems:

[0005] When transporting sample vials, the different specifications of the samples make it difficult for fixed-size transport containers to accommodate multiple sizes of sample vials, which can easily lead to shaking or instability. In addition, sample vials need to be stored at low temperatures during transport, and the liquid nitrogen inside the transport container will fluctuate during transportation, causing it to be consumed too quickly, resulting in poor low-temperature preservation of the sample vials. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel cryogenic transport container to solve the problems of multi-specification sample installation and stable liquid nitrogen discharge mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model provides a novel cryogenic transport container, including a main container body, a main container base, and a sample bottle slot. The main container base is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the main container body, and the sample bottle slot is distributed in the middle of the interior of the main container body. The main container base includes a shock-absorbing pad installed at the bottom of the interior, and a base plate of the same size is provided on the surface of the main container base. A mesh exhaust hole is opened at the midpoint of the base plate, and curved conveying pipes are distributed with the exhaust hole as the midpoint. The upper part of the conveying pipes is interconnected with the discharge hole.

[0009] The sample bottle slot has several round holes on its surface. The sample bottle slot includes a slot side block connected to one side, and an inner bottle slot is slidably installed inside the sample bottle slot. A slot side block is also provided on one side of the inner bottle slot, and a movable gear is installed on one side of the slot side block.

[0010] Preferably, the main tank body further includes a bottom plate one installed at the bottom of the interior, and a bottom plate two of the same size is installed above the bottom plate one. The surfaces of the bottom plate one and the bottom plate two are provided with circular holes, and a support frame extending to the top of the bottom plate two is inserted into the circular holes. The bottom of the support frame is provided with threads.

[0011] Preferably, a long sleeve is fitted onto the upper middle end of the support frame, and a short sleeve is connected above the long sleeve, with the short sleeve located between the lower and upper perforated plates, and the sample bottle slot is connected below the lower perforated plate.

[0012] Preferably, a base slot is installed on one side of the main tank base, and the base plate and the bottom plate are the same size.

[0013] Preferably, a top cover body is installed on the top of the main tank, and the bottom of the top cover body is fixedly connected to the top cover base. An instrument display device is installed at the midpoint of the surface of the top cover body, and the surface of the main tank is connected to the main tank handle.

[0014] Preferably, the short sleeve corresponds to the mesh position inside the lower perforated plate, and the short sleeve is sleeved on the top of the support frame.

[0015] Preferably, the transfer pipe extends through the interior of the base plate, and liquid nitrogen is installed inside the main tank base.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, one or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. When the new cryogenic transfer tank is in use, the main tank base can reduce the impact on the bottom of the entire main tank through the internal shock-absorbing pads, making the main tank more stable during operation and reducing the vibration amplitude of the sample bottles and liquid nitrogen. At the same time, multiple sets of discharge holes continuously discharge the liquid nitrogen from multiple nitrogen outlets through curved transmission pipes, allowing the liquid nitrogen to continuously circulate inside the sample bottle tank and keep the sample bottle tank cold for a long time.

[0018] 2. When the new type of cryogenic transfer tank is in use, the inner bottle slot moves on one side of the slot side block via a movable gear, which facilitates the installation of sample bottle slots of different specifications. At the same time, sample bottles of different specifications can be independently and securely fixed, and the collision between sample bottles can be reduced. Furthermore, the distance between the two bottom plates can be adjusted by the threads at the bottom of the support frame, which allows the internal space of the tank to be adjusted according to the specifications of the sample bottle slots, so that the main tank can be adapted to various specifications of sample bottle slots, flexibly optimizing the internal space of the main tank.
