Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lifting devices for liquid nitrogen tank cryopreservation racks, and specifically to a lifting mechanism for liquid nitrogen tank cryopreservation racks. Background Technology

[0002] Large-diameter stainless steel liquid nitrogen tanks are commonly used to store biological samples. They are equipped with multiple cryopreservation racks or blood bag racks to separate samples. When frozen samples are needed, the entire cryopreservation rack needs to be removed. However, most individual cryopreservation racks currently weigh more than 10 kg, making them heavy and inconvenient to remove manually.

[0003] Currently, there is no effective lifting structure for liquid nitrogen tanks. If a simple three-dimensional lifting device is installed, the height of the lifting mechanism needs to exceed the internal height of the liquid nitrogen tank in order to completely extract the cryopreservation rack inside the liquid nitrogen tank. Therefore, the overall structure is too high, which causes inconvenience during the movement of the liquid nitrogen tank. Therefore, it is necessary to realize the lifting function and the vertical lifting adjustment of the structure. In view of this, we propose a liquid nitrogen tank cryopreservation rack lifting mechanism. Utility Model Content

A slide rail is horizontally mounted on the horizontal plate, and a support plate is movably mounted on the slide rail. A lifting chain hook for lifting the cryogenic rack body is mounted on the support plate.

[0006] Preferably, the fixed base has an intermediate cavity at its axis and an insertion cavity is provided outside the intermediate cavity.

[0007] Preferably, the vertical arm unit includes a plug block with a vertical arm fixedly mounted on its upper end, and the plug block has an inner cavity for insertion into the plug cavity or the vertical arm.

[0009] Preferably, a drive motor for driving the lifting chain hook to rise and fall is fixedly installed on the pallet.

[0010] Preferably, an outer cover is fixedly installed on the horizontal plate outside the slide rail and the tray.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This liquid nitrogen tank cryopreservation rack lifting mechanism can reliably and conveniently lift the cryopreservation rack, and can realize the lifting function while also adjusting the vertical structure. The height can be adjusted through the provided vertical arm unit, which makes it easy to reduce the overall height and adapt to low spaces. At the same time, the vertical arm unit can be disassembled and assembled, making it highly adaptable and easy to stack and install vertical arm units according to the depth of the tank.

[0015] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention will describe the above technical solution in detail through the following embodiments: In this embodiment, the liquid nitrogen tank cryopreservation rack lifting mechanism is designed with a modular arm design, namely, it includes a fixed base 2 installed on the liquid nitrogen tank body, and a vertical arm unit inserted into the fixed base 2.

[0016] Specifically, in this embodiment, the vertical arm unit includes a plug block 3 with a vertical arm 4 fixedly mounted on its upper end. To facilitate assembly, the plug block 3 is provided with... Figure 4 The internal cavity of the structure shown can be inserted into the insertion cavity 201 and onto the vertical arm 4. In order to achieve lifting and folding, an intermediate cavity 202 is provided at the axis of the fixed base 2, and an insertion cavity 201 is provided outside the intermediate cavity 202. An installation cavity 401 is provided at the upper end of the vertical arm 4. At the same time, the insertion block 3 can be inserted into the insertion cavity 201.

A slide rail 8 is horizontally mounted on the horizontal plate 7, and a support plate 9 is movably mounted on the slide rail 8. The support plate 9 is driven by a drive motor to drive the lifting chain hook 10 to lift and release, so as to lift the cryopreservation rack body 1. In order to accurately position, the electrical control logic of this embodiment adopts the existing PLC control technology to control the motor and the segmented lifting and lowering action of the vertical arm unit, thereby completing the lifting of the cryopreservation rack body 1.
