Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of gene sample storage and transport devices, and in particular to gene sample cryogenic storage and transport boxes. Background Technology

[0002] A gene is the complete nucleotide sequence required to produce a polypeptide chain or functional RNA. Genes support the basic structure and function of life. They store all the information about a life form's species, blood type, conception, growth, and death processes. A sample is a subset of individuals actually observed or investigated in research. As is well known, most gene samples available on the market are stored in test tubes and then sent to research centers for testing. Therefore, the storage of gene samples is an essential step.

[0003] A biological gene sample storage device, currently patented under number 202020149849.6, includes a storage box. A first protective pad is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage box, and a partition is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the storage box. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to one side of the partition, and a test tube plate is movably connected to the front of the horizontal plate. A sliding groove is formed at the bottom of the horizontal plate, and a slider is movably connected to the inner wall of the groove. This biological gene sample storage device achieves high efficiency, thus solving the problem of inefficiency in general gene sample storage devices. It prevents test tubes from shaking or breaking when stored in the box, effectively improving work efficiency and making it more convenient for users, further meeting their needs and bringing convenience to their work.

[0004] In related technologies, the efficient use of the gene sample storage device is achieved through the coordinated use of the storage box, first protective pad, partition, second protective pad, horizontal plate, test tube plate, reset spring, clamping block, first anti-slip pad, movable cover, sealing ring, first shock-absorbing pad, and second shock-absorbing pad. This solves the problem of inefficiency in general gene sample storage devices, preventing test tubes from shaking or breaking when stored in the storage box. This effectively improves work efficiency, makes the device more convenient to use, further meets user needs, and brings convenience to work.

[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, due to the large quantity of gene samples, they need to be stored separately to avoid cross-contamination during testing. Additionally, to ensure the stability of the storage and transport of the containers, the connection between the containers and the storage boxes is quite tight, which can make them difficult to remove. Utility Model Content

[0006] To ensure the stability of the storage and transport of the containers while facilitating their removal, this application provides a cryogenic storage and transport box for gene samples.

[0007] The low-temperature storage and transport box for gene samples provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A cryogenic storage and transport box for gene samples includes: The device includes a placement device, a removal device, and a cooling device. The removal device is installed inside the placement device and is used to assist in the smooth removal of gene samples from the placement device. The cooling device is used to regulate the storage environment of the gene samples.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the placement device includes a moving mechanism, a placement mechanism, and a removal mechanism. The moving mechanism is used to move and transport the placed and stored gene sample as a whole. The placement mechanism is installed inside the moving mechanism and is used to ensure the stability of the gene sample during the transportation process.

[0009] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a storage box, with casters installed at the four corners of the bottom of the storage box, and a pusher fixed to one end of the top of the storage box.

[0010] Preferably, the placement mechanism includes a placement box, and a positioning plate is fixed at the lower top of the inner cavity of the placement box. The positioning plate has positioning openings at equal intervals inside.

[0011] Preferably, the removal mechanism includes a mounting rail fixed inside the storage box, and movable toothed tracks fixed at both ends inside the mounting rail, which mesh with movable gears at the top of the movable toothed tracks.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting rail is U-shaped.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the extraction device includes a positioning mechanism and an ejection mechanism. The positioning mechanism is used to fix the position of the container holding the gene sample, and the ejection mechanism is used to push the container holding the gene sample out so as to remove the container holding the gene sample.

[0014] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes an ejector plate, the ejector plate having equidistant positioning grooves inside, springs being equidistantly distributed in the positioning grooves, and a positioning arc plate being fixed to the side of the springs near the center of the positioning grooves.

[0015] Preferably, the ejection mechanism includes a rotating connecting buckle, which is fixed to the four corners of the bottom of the ejector plate near the center. An adjusting frame is installed at the bottom of the rotating connecting buckle, and adjusting plates are rotatably connected to both ends of the center of the adjusting frame. A bidirectional cylinder is fixed at the center of the opposite side of the adjusting plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the refrigeration device includes a refrigerator, and both ends of the bottom of the refrigerator are equipped with refrigeration fans.

[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This application, through the setting of a placement device, places the sample container after storing the gene sample using the positioning port as the positioning point. During the placement process, the sample container is fixed by the positioning mechanism and internal parts, thereby preventing the sample container from falling during storage and transportation. During transportation, the position of the entire storage box is moved by universal wheels. This application, through the design of the removal device, adjusts the position of the positioning arc plate according to the size and model of the container to be stored during the storage process. The compression action of the spring makes the surface of the positioning arc plate fit tightly against the outer surface of the container, thereby clamping and fixing the container. When it is necessary to remove the container for inspection, the position of the ejector plate is raised by the adjustment frame, thereby ejecting the container. This achieves the purpose of facilitating the removal of the container. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0026] It includes a placement device 1, a removal device 2, and a cooling device 3. The removal device 2 is installed inside the placement device 1 and is used to assist in the smooth removal of gene samples from the placement device 1. The cooling device 3 is used to regulate the storage environment of the gene samples.

[0027] The refrigeration device 3 includes a refrigerator 31, and refrigeration fans 32 are installed at both ends of the bottom of the refrigerator 31.

[0028] This application discloses a cryogenic storage and transport box for gene samples. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The placement device 1 includes a moving mechanism 11, a placement mechanism 12, and a removal mechanism 13. The moving mechanism 11 is used to move and transport the placed and stored gene sample as a whole. The placement mechanism 12 is installed inside the moving mechanism 11 and is used to ensure the stability of the gene sample during the transport process. The removal mechanism 13 is used to assist the placement mechanism 12 in removing the gene sample and to facilitate the orderly placement of the gene sample.

[0029] The moving mechanism 11 includes a storage box 111, with casters 112 installed at the four corners of the bottom of the storage box 111, and a pusher 113 fixed at one end of the top of the storage box 111.

[0030] The placement mechanism 12 includes a placement box 121. A positioning plate 122 is fixed at the lower top of the inner cavity of the placement box 121. Positioning openings are equidistantly provided inside the positioning plate 122.

[0031] The removal mechanism 13 includes a mounting rail 131, which is fixed inside the storage box 111, a moving toothed track 132 fixed at both ends inside the mounting rail 131, and a moving gear 133 meshing with the top of the moving toothed track 132.

[0032] Mounting rail 131 is set to U-shape.

[0033] The implementation principle of the gene sample low-temperature storage and transport box in this application embodiment is as follows: the position of the placement box 134 is moved by the action of the moving gear 133 and the moving toothed track 132, thereby partially moving the position of the placement box 134 so that the container containing the gene sample can be placed in the position corresponding to the positioning opening in the positioning plate 122. When it is necessary to transport the storage box 111 containing the gene sample, it is moved by the pusher 113 and the universal wheel 112. During storage and transport, the storage environment inside the storage box 111 is cooled by the cooler 31 and the cooling fan 32 to ensure that the gene sample can be preserved in a low-temperature environment and avoid detection errors during the detection process.

[0034] This application discloses a low-temperature storage and transport box for gene samples.

[0035] Example 2 Reference Figure 1 The removal device 2 includes a positioning mechanism 21 and a pushing mechanism 22. The positioning mechanism 21 is used to fix the position of the container holding the gene sample, and the pushing mechanism 22 is used to push the container holding the gene sample out so as to remove the container holding the gene sample.

[0036] The positioning mechanism 21 includes an ejector plate 211, and positioning grooves are provided at equal intervals inside the ejector plate 211. Springs 212 are distributed at equal intervals inside the positioning grooves, and a positioning arc plate 213 is fixed on the side of the springs 212 near the center of the positioning groove.

[0037] The ejection mechanism 22 includes a rotating connecting buckle 221, which is fixed to the four corners of the bottom of the ejector plate 211 near the center. An adjusting frame 222 is installed at the bottom of the rotating connecting buckle 221. Adjusting plates 223 are rotatably connected to both ends of the center of the adjusting frame 222. A bidirectional cylinder 224 is fixed at the center of the opposite side of the adjusting plate 223.

[0038] The implementation principle of Example 2 is as follows: When placing the container containing the gene sample, the container can be clamped and fixed from the outside by the pressure of the container itself on the positioning arc plate 213 and the spring 212, as well as the elastic force of the spring 212 itself. When it is necessary to remove the container and test the sample inside the container, the bidirectional cylinder 224 is activated. The bidirectional cylinder 224 drives the relative position of the adjusting plate 223 to reduce the distance between the adjusting plates 223, which in turn drives the adjusting frame 222 to extend, thereby driving the position of the ejector plate 211 to rise. The ejector plate 211 then drives the position of the container to rise, so as to remove the container and complete the test of the gene sample.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
