[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a cell scaffold storage device, including a storage box 1. The storage box 1 is made of high-strength, heat-insulating polypropylene material, and its overall shape is rectangular, with dimensions designed according to actual storage needs. The wall thickness of the storage box 1 is 2 cm, which can effectively protect the cell scaffolds stored inside from the influence of external environmental temperature changes. At the same time, its surface is treated with anti-slip material, making it easy for operators to handle and operate.

[0025] A storage drawer 2 is horizontally installed inside the storage box 1. One side of the storage drawer 2 protrudes from the outside of the storage box 1 and has a latch 204, which allows operators to easily pull the storage drawer 2 out of or push it in from the storage box 1 by hooking their fingers into the latch 204, facilitating the placement and removal of cell scaffolds. A horizontal perforated plate 201 is fixed in the middle of the storage drawer 2. The perforated plate 201 is made of a plastic material with a certain degree of elasticity, and several storage tubes 3 are supported inside the storage drawer 2 through the perforated plate 201.

[0026] Specifically, the perforated plate 201 is evenly provided with placement holes for inserting the storage tube 3. The diameter of the placement holes is 0.1 cm larger than the outer diameter of the storage tube 3, ensuring that the storage tube 3 can be inserted smoothly and has a certain amount of room to move. A first buffer ring 202 is fixed inside the placement hole 205. The first buffer ring 202 is made of soft silicone material, which can provide a certain cushioning effect when the storage tube 3 is inserted, reducing the impact of external forces on the storage tube 3. In addition, a groove is opened on the bottom surface of the storage drawer 2 for the bottom end of the storage tube 3 to abut. A second buffer ring 203 is fixed inside the groove. The second buffer ring 203 is also made of silicone material, further enhancing the cushioning protection effect on the storage tube 3.

[0027] The storage tube 3 is made of transparent glass, allowing for easy observation of the internal cell scaffold. A sealing cap 4 is installed at the top of the storage tube 3, connected to it by a thread with a pitch of 0.5 mm to ensure a good seal and prevent external air and moisture from entering the storage tube 3 and affecting the quality of the cell scaffold. The outer surface of the sealing cap 4 has anti-slip textures for easy operation.

[0028] A vertical support column 5 is installed in the middle of the storage tube 3. A base 6 is fixed to the lower end of the support column 5. The base 6 is snapped into the bottom of the storage tube 3 and has a certain depth to keep the support column 5 vertical and stable. Several layers of support crowns 7 are arranged around the support column 5 from top to bottom. Each layer of support crown 7 includes several horizontal support rods 701 surrounding the support column 5. The end of the support rod 701 away from the support column 5 is inclined upward and bent at an angle of 30 degrees, so that the cell scaffold can be placed on the support crowns 7 and suspended in the storage tube 3. It maintains a certain safe distance from the tube wall and the bottom of the tube, avoiding problems such as the cell scaffold breaking due to shaking and impact with the tube wall during transportation and freezing, or sinking to the bottom and collapsing due to pressure.

[0029] In addition, a movable rod 501 is elastically installed at the top of the support column 5. A slot is provided at the top of the support column 5 for the lower end of the movable rod 501 to be vertically inserted. A spring 502 is fixed inside the slot. The spring 502 is made of stainless steel, and its elastic coefficient is selected according to actual needs to ensure sufficient elastic force, allowing the movable rod 501 to have a certain elastic movement space under the action of the spring 502. The movable rod 501 abuts against the inner bottom surface of the sealing cap 4. When the sealing cap 4 is tightened on the storage tube 3, it exerts downward pressure on the movable rod 501. Under the action of the spring 502, the movable rod 501 moves downward, simultaneously generating an upward reaction force on the support column 5, thereby keeping the support column 5 firmly placed inside the storage tube 3, ensuring that the supporting crown 7 can stably support the cell scaffold.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In actual use, the operator first carefully places the cell scaffold on the support crown 7 to ensure that the cell scaffold is placed stably and will not slip off the support crown 7. Then, the storage tube 3 is placed into the placement hole 205 of the perforated plate 201 of the storage drawer 2, so that the bottom end of the storage tube 3 abuts against the groove 206 and contacts the second buffer ring 203, which plays a buffering and protective role.

[0031] When placing the storage tube 3, insert it gently to avoid excessive force that could cause it to collide violently with the porous plate 201 or the groove 206. Next, tighten the sealing cap 4 onto the storage tube 3. At this point, the movable rod 501 will engage tightly with the support column 5 under the pressure of the sealing cap 4, ensuring the stability of the support column 5. When tightening the sealing cap 4, be careful to apply moderate force to avoid over-tightening and damaging the threads of the sealing cap 4 or the storage tube 3. Finally, push the storage drawer 2 into the storage box 1 to complete the storage of the cell scaffold. When it is necessary to remove the cell scaffold, simply pull out the storage drawer 2 through the latch 204, unscrew the sealing cap 4, and remove the storage tube 3 to easily retrieve the cell scaffold.

[0032] In summary, this device can buffer and protect cell scaffolds and store them in suspension, effectively reducing the risk of damage to cell scaffolds during transportation or freezing due to external force impacting the tube wall or sinking to the bottom and being compressed, thus improving the storage effect of cell scaffolds.
