The invention relates to the technical field of sample storage, particularly provides a
cryopreservation box code scanning device and a control method of a sample storage
library, and aims to solve the problem that an existing single code scanning structure is low in code scanning efficiency. In order to achieve the purpose, the
cryopreservation box code scanning device comprises a base, a box carrying table and a code scanning mechanism installed on the base. The code scanning mechanism comprises a code scanning box, a first code scanning camera and a second code scanning camera, a first code scanning
station and a second code scanning
station are arranged on the code scanning box, and the first code scanning camera and the second code scanning camera are arranged on the first code scanning
station and the second code scanning station correspondingly and can conduct code scanning operation on the
cryopreservation boxes; the box carrying table is arranged above the code scanning box, a first box carrying station and a second box carrying station which are used for carrying the cryopreservation boxes are arranged on the box carrying table, the first box carrying station corresponds to the first code scanning opening, and the second box carrying station corresponds to the second code scanning opening. By adopting the double code scanning stations, code scanning operation can be carried out on the cryopreservation boxes at the same time, and the code scanning efficiency is improved.
