Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated cell storage technology, specifically to a sensor-based intelligent automated cell storage repository. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of life sciences, clinical medicine, and biopharmaceuticals, the demand for cell storage is increasing and becoming more diversified. In the field of clinical medicine, the widespread use of technologies such as stem cell transplantation and immune cell therapy requires the long-term, stable storage of large quantities of clinical-grade cell samples. These samples have extremely high requirements for parameters such as temperature, humidity, and purity of the storage environment. Any slight environmental fluctuation may lead to a decrease in cell activity or even inactivation, directly affecting the treatment effect.

[0003] Traditional cell storage devices typically employ fixed drawer or layered storage structures, requiring manual operation for sample storage and retrieval. This not only leads to low efficiency but also increases the risk of sample confusion or contamination due to operational errors. To address these issues, we propose a sensor-based intelligent automated cell storage device. Utility Model Content

The storage mechanism includes a rotary motor connected to a storage cabinet. The output end of the rotary motor is driven by a rotating rod. Several connecting rods are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod. A universal connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod. A storage tank is rotatably connected to one side of the universal connecting shaft.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it realizes automated and intelligent cell storage; through the coordinated work of the automatic replenishment pump and control cabinet, errors are reduced and the stability of the cell storage environment is ensured; the design of the rotating motor driving the storage tank in the storage mechanism ensures that the cells are uniformly placed in a low-temperature environment, effectively avoiding the problem of reduced cell activity or damage caused by uneven local temperature, thus improving the quality of cell storage; the setting of the base and fixing seat ensures the stability of key components, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the storage device and providing reliable equipment support for cell storage.

[0007] Furthermore, both ends of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to connecting plates, and both sides of the front of the connecting plates are fixedly connected to limit blocks. Both ends of the rotating rod are fixedly connected to limit rings that are compatible with the limit blocks.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the above solution are: the cooperation between the limiting block and the limiting ring effectively restricts the axial displacement of the connecting rod, avoids shaking and collision of the storage tank caused by the displacement of the connecting rod, ensures the safety of the cells in the storage tank, and reduces the risk of cell damage.

[0009] Furthermore, the output end of the automatic replenishment pump is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, and the output end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to several circulation pipes.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the above scheme are: the setting of connecting pipes and several circulation pipes achieves uniform distribution of liquid nitrogen in the storage cabinet, avoids excessively high or low temperatures in local areas of the storage cabinet, further ensures the stability of the cell storage environment, and helps maintain cell activity.

[0011] Furthermore, an automatic discharge port is fixedly connected to the output end of the circulation pipe.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the above solution are: the automatic discharge port can promptly remove excess gas or impurities from the circulation pipeline, preventing pipeline blockage or gas accumulation from affecting the liquid nitrogen transmission efficiency, ensuring the smooth flow of liquid nitrogen, and thus maintaining the stability of the environment inside the storage cabinet.

[0013] Furthermore, a protective cover connected to the storage cabinet is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the circulation pipe, and the upper and lower surfaces of the protective cover are provided with a number of grid holes.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the above solution are: the protective cover provides effective physical protection for the circulation pipes, reduces the probability of pipe damage, extends the service life of the circulation pipes, and the grid hole design ensures normal heat dissipation and air circulation while protecting the pipes, without affecting the maintenance of the low temperature environment inside the storage cabinet, thus ensuring the quality of cell storage and achieving a balance between protection and cooling functions.

[0015] Furthermore, the front of the storage cabinet is connected to several cabinet doors via hinges, and the front of each cabinet door has an observation window.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the above solution are: the closed design of the cabinet door can effectively reduce the loss of cold air inside the storage cabinet, and the setting of the observation window makes it convenient for staff to monitor the situation inside the storage cabinet in real time.

In other instances, well-known structures and processes will not be described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail. Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0026] Example 1 Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a sensor-based intelligent cell automated storage system provided in this embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2The following is a diagram of the overall internal structure of this utility model. The device includes: a storage cabinet 1, a control cabinet 2 fixedly connected to one side of the storage cabinet 1, a plurality of storage mechanisms 3 provided on the inner wall of the storage cabinet 1, a base 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage cabinet 1, a fixed seat 5 fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the base 4, and an automatic replenishing pump 7 and a liquid nitrogen storage tank 6 fixedly connected from left to right on the upper surface of the fixed seat 5. Storage cabinet 1 is the core storage area, with several storage units 3 inside for storing cell samples. Control cabinet 2 serves as the control center, coordinating the work of various components. Liquid nitrogen tank 6 in base 4 provides the liquid nitrogen required for the low-temperature environment. Automatic replenishment pump 7 is responsible for replenishing liquid nitrogen. Under the monitoring of sensors, when it senses that the liquid nitrogen in storage cabinet 1 is insufficient or the temperature does not meet the requirements, the automatic replenishment pump 7 will automatically start and draw liquid nitrogen from liquid nitrogen tank 6 to replenish liquid nitrogen in storage cabinet 1, so as to maintain the low-temperature environment inside the cabinet and realize the automated operation of the entire storage storage.

[0027] Figure 6 This is a structural diagram of the storage mechanism of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the storage mechanism 3 includes a rotary motor 301 connected to the storage cabinet 1. The output end of the rotary motor 301 is connected to a rotating rod 302. Several connecting rods 303 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 302. A universal connecting shaft 304 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 303. A storage tank 305 is rotatably connected to one side of the universal connecting shaft 304.

[0028] Storage mechanism 3 uses a rotating motor 301 to drive a rotating rod 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the storage tank 305 to rotate via a connecting rod 303, enabling dynamic storage and retrieval of samples. The universal connecting shaft 304 ensures that the storage tank 305 remains vertical during rotation, preventing the internal samples from being affected by tilting and ensuring the stability of cell storage. This allows the cells in the storage tank 305 to be evenly exposed to the low-temperature environment, avoiding local temperature differences that could affect cell activity.

[0029] Both ends of the connecting rod 303 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 306. Both sides of the front of the connecting plate 306 are fixedly connected to the limiting block 307. Both ends of the rotating rod 302 are fixedly connected to the limiting ring 308 that is compatible with the limiting block 307.

[0030] The connecting plates 306 and limiting blocks 307 at both ends of the connecting rod 303, together with the limiting rings 308 at both ends of the rotating rod 302, form a double limiting structure. When the rotating rod 302 rotates at high speed, this structure can prevent the connecting rod 303 from shifting or falling off, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire storage mechanism 3 and avoiding damage to cell samples due to structural loosening.

[0031] The output end of the automatic replenishment pump 7 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 8, and the output end of the connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to several circulation pipes 9.

[0032] The automatic replenishment pump 7 delivers liquid nitrogen from the liquid nitrogen storage tank 6 to each circulation pipe 9 through the connecting pipe 8. The circulation pipes 9 are distributed inside the storage cabinet 1 to provide a uniform low-temperature environment for the storage tank 305.

[0033] An automatic discharge port 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the circulation pipe 9.

[0034] When liquid nitrogen needs to be replaced or discharged, it is discharged through the automatic discharge port 10, realizing the automatic circulation and renewal of liquid nitrogen, maintaining a stable low temperature condition inside the storage cabinet 1, and meeting the requirements for long-term cell storage.

[0035] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, the present invention can be further improved as follows: Figure 3 This is a diagram of the internal structure of the storage cabinet of this utility model. Figure 3 As shown, a protective cover 11 connected to the storage cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the circulation pipe 9. Several grid holes 12 are opened on the upper and lower surfaces of the protective cover 11.

[0036] The protective cover 11 outside the circulation pipe 9 can prevent the storage tank 305 or other components from directly colliding with the pipe, avoiding damage to the pipe and resulting in liquid nitrogen leakage. The grid holes 12 on the protective cover 11 ensure that the low temperature of liquid nitrogen can diffuse smoothly into the storage cabinet 1, so as to play a protective role without affecting the maintenance of the low temperature environment.

[0037] The front of the storage cabinet 1 is connected to several cabinet doors 13 by hinges, and the front of the cabinet doors 13 has an observation window 14.

[0038] The cabinet door 13 on the front of the storage cabinet 1 is convenient for manual operation or emergency handling, and the observation window 14 allows real-time observation of the internal storage situation without opening the cabinet door, reducing the impact on the internal low-temperature environment.

[0039] A control panel 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the front of the control cabinet 2, and a control button 16 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front of the control cabinet 2.

[0040] The control panel 15 on the control cabinet 2 is used to display information such as temperature, liquid nitrogen level, and storage tank location in the storage cabinet 1. Operators can send commands through the control buttons 16 to achieve automated control of the entire storage tank, such as starting and stopping the motor, controlling liquid nitrogen replenishment and discharge, etc.

[0041] Working principle: Storage cabinet 1 provides a closed storage space for cell samples. The multiple storage mechanisms 3 inside are the core carriers for sample storage. During operation, control cabinet 2 controls the start of the rotating motor 301, which drives the rotating rod 302 to rotate. Through the connecting rod 303, the storage tank 305 rotates synchronously, realizing dynamic storage and retrieval management of samples. The universal connecting shaft 304 ensures that the storage tank 305 always remains vertical during rotation, avoiding damage to the internal cell samples due to tilting or shaking. At the same time, the connecting plates 306 and the limiting blocks 307 at both ends of the connecting rod 303 and the limiting rings 308 of the rotating rod 302 form a stable structure to prevent the components from shifting during rotation and ensure the safety of the storage tank 305 during operation.

[0042] The liquid nitrogen storage tank 6 inside the base 4 stores the liquid nitrogen required for cryogenic preservation. The liquid nitrogen is automatically replenished by the automatic replenishment pump 7. The automatic replenishment pump 7 delivers the liquid nitrogen through the connecting pipe 8 to multiple circulation pipes 9 distributed in the storage cabinet 1. The liquid nitrogen forms a uniform low temperature environment in the storage cabinet 1 through the circulation pipes 9, which meets the long-term low temperature storage requirements of cells. The protective cover 11 protects the circulation pipes 9 to prevent liquid nitrogen leakage due to collision damage. The grid holes 12 on it ensure that the low temperature can diffuse smoothly into the interior of the storage cabinet 1.
