[0040] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in detail below in combination with examples and drawings. EXAMPLES

[0041] This embodiment provides an intelligent sample bank storage system, which includes at least one set of storage modules 1 and at least one set of retrieval modules 2.

[0042] The storage module 1 includes at least two storage tanks 3. An access port 4 is provided on the upper end surface of each storage tank 3. The access ports 4 of the two corresponding storage tanks 3 are located at corresponding positions.

[0043] The removal module 2 is provided above the storage module 1, and is capable of removing or storing cryopreservation tubes and / or racks in the storage tank 3 through an access port 4.

[0044] When storing and extracting biological samples from cryopreservation tubes, generally, one storage tank 3 corresponds to one type of extraction module 2. In this case, not only does the cost of transportation between different storage tanks 3 increase, but the cryopreservation tubes are exposed to room temperature and are therefore easily damaged. Therefore, the present invention discloses a storage module 1 consisting of two storage tanks 3. The storage tanks 3 are installed side by side, and an access port 4 is opened on the upper end surface. Since the two access ports 4 are close to each other, the extraction module 2 can easily store and grip between the different storage tanks 3, which makes it possible to improve the operating efficiency of the extraction module 2 and reduce the usage cost.

[0045] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the access opening 4 of the storage tank 3 is opened on one side of the upper end surface of the storage tank 3. The access openings 4 of the two corresponding storage tanks 3 face each other and are close to each other. The closer the access openings 4 are to each other, the easier it is for the take-out module 2 to operate between different storage tanks 3. The access openings 4 can also be installed facing each other in different directions. In the present invention, the access openings 4 are installed facing each other in the radial direction and parallel to the direction in which the storage tanks 3 are installed side by side. This makes it as easy as possible for the take-out module 2 to store or take out the cryopreservation tubes in the storage module 1.

[0046] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the removal module 2 includes an X-axis removal arm group 5, a Y-axis removal arm group 6, and a gripping device 7. The gripping device 7 is capable of suctioning or gripping the cryopreservation tubes in the storage tank 3 and / or gripping the racks.

[0047] The Y-axis take-out arm group 6 is connected to the X-axis take-out arm group 5, allowing the X-axis take-out arm group 5 to move along the Y-axis. The X-axis take-out arm group 5 is connected to the gripping device 7, allowing the gripping device 7 to move along the X-axis. The gripping device 7 can move along the X-axis and Y-axis on the storage tank 3, and can grip racks and / or cryopreservation tubes inside the loading / unloading openings 4 at different positions. This improves operation efficiency.

[0048] The closer the positions of the loading / unloading openings 4 of the two storage tanks 3 are, the less movement the X-axis take-out arm group 5 and the Y-axis take-out arm group 6 need to grasp the racks and / or cryopreservation tubes, thus saving time and improving efficiency. Therefore, the highest efficiency is achieved by arranging the storage tanks 3 side-by-side so that the loading / unloading openings 4 face each other in the radial direction.

[0049] A further embodiment of the present invention includes a group A storage module, a group A removal module, a group B storage module and a group B removal module.

[0050] The group A storage module and the group B storage module are installed side by side. The group A take-out module is installed above the group A storage module and acts on it, and the group B take-out module is installed above the group B storage module and acts on it.

[0051] A transfer path 8 is directly provided between the group A take-out module and the group B take-out module. The transfer path 8 is capable of transporting a transfer tank 31. The transfer tank 31 is capable of intermediate transport of cryopreservation tubes. Liquid nitrogen is stored in the transfer tank 31 and is used for insulation during the transport process of the cryopreservation tubes.

[0052] The number of group B storage modules is at least one, and they are installed side by side in sequence. The transport path 8 connects the group A storage module and all the group B storage modules in series, thereby realizing rapid transport, transfer and transfer of samples between different storage tanks 3.

[0053] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the transport path 8 includes a transmission member 9 that transmits motion along the lateral arrangement direction of the group A storage module and the group B storage module.

[0054] The transmission member 9 realizes the transportation of the transfer tank 31 in the horizontal direction of the storage module 1. The transmission member 9 can realize the transportation of the transfer tank 31 in the manner of a conveyor belt, a conveyor plate, a conveyor rail, etc. There are many embodiments of the conveyor member 9, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0055] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of lift-up paths 10 are opened in the transmission member 9, and a transfer window 30 is opened on the side of the conveying path 8. In addition, the take-out module 2 further includes a lift-up mechanism 11. The lift-up mechanism 11 is provided between the two storage tanks 3 of the storage module 1. The lift-up mechanism 11 can lift up the transfer tank 31 by passing through the lift-up paths 10.

[0056] The transfer tank 31 is transported to the transfer path 8 through a transfer window 30 opened on the side of the transfer path 8, and is transported by the transfer path 8 to the upper end of the lift-up path 10. Then, when the lift-up mechanism 11 passes through the lift-up path 10 and lifts up the transfer tank 31 to the upper end of the storage tank 3, the cryopreservation tubes are stored or removed. When the operation is completed, the lift-up mechanism 11 descends to return the transfer tank 31 to the transfer path 8. The transfer path 8 realizes rapid transfer and transportation of the cryopreservation tubes in the transfer tank 31 between different storage modules 1 by the transport member 9, improving operation efficiency.

[0057] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the lift-up mechanism 11 includes a lifting platform 12 and a driving electric cylinder 13. The lifting platform 12 is provided between the two storage tanks 3 of the storage module 1, and is vertically installed with one end provided below the lift-up path 10 and the other end extending outward. The driving electric cylinder 13 is vertically installed and connected to the extended end of the lifting platform 12. The driving electric cylinder 13 is provided on the side of the transport path 8 closer to the storage tank 3. This allows the overall space of the system to be reduced. The driving electric cylinder 13 allows the lifting platform 12 to rise and fall vertically. The lift-up mechanism 11 solves the problem of transfer between the storage tanks 3 and the transport path 8, greatly improving the efficiency of rapid transport of samples.

[0058] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the Y-axis take-out arm group 6 includes a Y-axis connecting rail 14 and a Y-axis moving mechanism 15. The Y-axis connecting rail 14 includes a connecting rail main shaft 32 and a connecting rail secondary shaft 33. The connecting rail main shaft 32 and the connecting rail secondary shaft 33 are provided parallel to and symmetrically with each other at the upper ends of both sides of the storage module 1. The Y-axis moving mechanism 15 is provided on the connecting rail main shaft 32 and the connecting rail secondary shaft 33 and is slidable along the connecting rail main shaft 32 and the connecting rail secondary shaft 33. The Y-axis moving mechanism 15 is connected to the X-axis take-out arm group 5 and allows the X-axis take-out arm group 5 to move in the Y-axis direction. The Y-axis is a direction perpendicular to the horizontal in which the storage tanks 3 are arranged side by side.

[0059] The Y-axis take-out arm group 6 transfers the cryopreservation tubes between the inside of the storage tank 3 and the transfer tank 31. The gripping device 7, accompanied by the Y-axis take-out arm group 6, achieves parallel movement in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane in which the storage tanks 3 are arranged side by side, making it easy to perform the gripping operation.

[0060] The Y-axis movement mechanism 15 is provided with a cable tie that is fixedly connected to the X-axis take-out arm group 5. The Y-axis movement mechanism 15 is also provided with a slide member that slides on the connection rail main shaft 32 and the connection rail sub shaft 33, and at the same time, causes the X-axis take-out arm group 5 to move in parallel along the Y-axis. The Y-axis movement mechanism 15 may be implemented in the form of a slider, a pulley, or the like.

[0061] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the X-axis take-out arm group 5 includes an X-axis connecting rail 16 and an X-axis moving mechanism 17. Both ends of the X-axis connecting rail 16 are installed perpendicular to the connecting rail main shaft 32 and the connecting rail secondary shaft 33, and are connected to the Y-axis moving mechanism 15. The X-axis moving mechanism 17 is provided on the X-axis connecting rail 16 and is slidable along the X-axis connecting rail 16. The X-axis moving mechanism 17 is connected to the gripping device 7 and allows the gripping device 7 to move in the X-axis direction. The X-axis is the horizontal direction in which the storage tanks 3 are installed side by side.

[0062] Both ends of the X-axis connecting rail 16 are provided on a connecting rail main shaft 32 and a connecting rail sub shaft 33, which realizes parallel movement within one storage module 1 and parallel movement of the gripping device 7 in the horizontal direction in which the storage tanks 3 are installed side by side. That is, movement between the loading and unloading openings 4 of the two storage tanks 3 is realized, allowing the gripping and storage operations to be performed.

[0063] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the gripping device 7 includes a cryopreservation tube removal mechanism 23, a rack gripping mechanism 24, and a connection mechanism 25. The connection mechanism 25 has an upper end connected to the X-axis removal arm group 5, and a lower end connected to the rack gripping mechanism 24 and the cryopreservation tube removal mechanism 23, respectively.

[0064] The X-axis take-out arm group 5 is capable of gripping cryopreservation tubes or racks in the preservation tank 3 and moving them along the X-axis. This allows the cryopreservation tubes and / or racks to be gripped, enabling the transfer of samples between different preservation tanks 3. The Y-axis take-out arm group 6 is capable of gripping cryopreservation tubes or racks in the preservation tank 3 and moving them along the Y-axis. This allows the samples to be transferred between the preservation tank 3 and the transfer tank 31, enabling the transfer of samples between different preservation modules 1. As a result, the operating efficiency is greatly improved.

[0065] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the module protective case 26 is further included. The module protective case 26 is provided on the storage module 1 and covers the take-out module 2 from the inside. In addition, both ends of the Y-axis connection rail 14 are fixedly provided on the inner wall of the module protective case 26, and the lift-up mechanism 11 is fixedly provided on the lower end of the module protective case 26. The module protective case 26 not only serves to fix the lifting module 2, but also serves as a heat insulator by protecting the cryopreservation tube taken out by the gripping device 7 from rapid heat dissipation.

[0066] The module protective case 26 is further provided with a main control interface 27. The main control interface 27 is provided on the opposite side of the transport path 8 from the storage tank 3. The main control interface 27 can control the start / stop of transport of the transfer tank 31 by the transport member 9.

[0067] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the storage module 1 further includes a valve assembly 28. The valve assembly 28 is provided on a side of the module protective case 26. The valve assembly 28 allows liquid nitrogen to be injected into the storage tank 3 to maintain the temperature within the tank.

[0068] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the valve assembly 28 includes a coil tube liquid replacement mechanism 29. The coil tube liquid replacement mechanism 29 is provided on a side surface of the module protective case 26. By heating the coil tube liquid replacement mechanism 29 and injecting the scattered liquid nitrogen into the storage tank 3, it is possible to prevent the liquid nitrogen from being directly injected into one place, which would result in uneven temperature. Also, if the temperature inside the storage tank 3 is too low, a heater wire outside the coil tube liquid replacement mechanism 29 can be activated to achieve an appropriate storage temperature. EXAMPLES

[0069] This embodiment provides an intelligent sample bank storage system that differs in the following respects.

[0070] The X-axis take-out arm group 5 includes an X-axis slide rail 18 and a slide mechanism 19.

The X-axis is the horizontal direction in which the storage tanks 3 are installed side by side.

[0071] In the first embodiment, the X-axis connecting rail 14 moves parallel to the Y-axis connecting rail 14, while both ends of the X-axis slide rail 18 extend so as to enable all of the A-direction storage modules and B-direction storage modules installed side by side to be connected in series. This allows samples to be transported between different storage modules 1 using multiple types of transport devices, greatly improving transport efficiency.

[0072] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the slide mechanism 19 includes a wheel group 20, a connecting rotation shaft 21, and a slide rail connection frame 22.

The lower end of the connecting rotation shaft 21 is connected to the gripping device 7 and moves the gripping device 7 along the X-axis slide rail 18. In this way, gripping and storage by the gripping device 7 between different storage modules 1 is realized.

[0074] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the module protective case 26 is provided with an upper transport path 34. The upper transport path 34 is provided at the upper end of the storage tank 3 and accommodates the take-out module 2 therein. The upper transport path 34 is provided in the same direction as the transport path 8. The X-axis slide rail 18 passes through the upper transport path 8, and allows the gripping device 7 to transport samples between different storage modules 1, greatly improving operation efficiency.
