Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cryobiological containers, of the type comprising a double-shell tank structure comprising an internal envelope having a cylindrical side wall and a bottom wall and forming an interior volume accessible by an upper opening of the same diameter as that of the wall. cylindrical and closable by a plug.
  • Such containers generally of large capacity, typically ranging from 150 to 1000 liters, are used for the storage in a cryogenic liquid, typically nitrogen, of biological products placed in pockets, canisters or in drawer baskets. as described in document US-A-5,226,715 in the name of the Applicant.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved cryobiological container having, for reduced manufacturing additional costs, greatly improved ergonomics and increased safety.
  • the bottom wall of the inner tank comprises a central bearing intended to cooperate with a pivot secured to a bottom of a rotating cylindrical storage tank capable of being received coaxially in the inner envelope and having a cylindrical side wall with a diameter slightly smaller than that of the side wall of the inner envelope.
  • the opening and closing of the lid is easily carried out and the operator can, by simply rotating the storage bin, bring within his reach the products possibly stored at the other end of the container. without having to lean into the access opening.
  • the tank structure can be used either with or without the revolving tank, according to the requests of user customers.
  • Cryobiological containers are also known, the internal tank of which, accessible through a small upper opening, permanently comprises at least one rotating tank carried by a swivel hub on a fixed central shaft mounted in the internal tank, the rotation of the plate s 'effecting by a key engaged in the upper end of the hub. Because of the difficulties of access to the stored products, and in particular the difficulties of actuating the turntable in rotation, these types of containers have gradually given way to so-called “total" opening containers to which the present brings significant improvements.
  • the internal tank 2 has a general cylindrical configuration with a cylindrical side wall 4 closed at its lower end by a bottom 5 and opening upwards by an access opening 6 determined with the same diameter as that of the cylinder of the side wall 4.
  • the bottom 5 of the inner tank 2 comprises, centrally, an axial bearing 7 having, in its upper end, a housing for receiving a vertical pivot 8 extending downwards at from a horizontal bottom 9 of a cylindrical tank 10 disposed in the inner envelope 4.
  • the tank 10 has a cylindrical side wall 11 of diameter slightly smaller than that of the diameter of the side wall 4 of the interior tank 2 and s' freely opening upwards at a vertical distance from the access opening 6 so as not to interfere with a cylindrical plug 12 intended to close the opening 6 and isolate from the outside the interior volume of the interior tank.
  • the upper edge of the latter comprises a series of pads or handling handles 16 angularly distributed and advantageously mounted on the upper wing of the U-shaped section 13.
  • the radial dimensions of the studs or handles 16 are determined so as not to obscure, even locally, the upper opening of access to the container 10.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown, by way of example, the installation, in the container 10, of a basket P of cryobiological boxes.
  • the bottom plate 5 is simply covered with a bottom plate horizontal (not shown) forming a storage area for the products to be kept in the inner envelope 2.
  • the plug 12 is carried by a cover structure 17 mounted articulated by one of its ends, around a horizontal axis 18, on fittings 19 integral of the tank structure 1.
  • the lifting of the cover structure 17 is assisted by assistance means, such as pneumatic cylinders 20 or springs associated with the joint 18.
  • the display unit 21 is mounted on the upper face of the cover structure 17, advantageously towards the back of the latter, to avoid splashes of cryogenic liquid, especially when removing products from the container, as well as possible impacts with the mi products s in place or extracts from the container, in particular the baskets.
  • the container according to the invention comprises, at its rear, a housing 22 housing in particular elements of the filling system and level control of the container and forming a rear stop ensuring that, when the container is placed against a wall, the full opening of the cover structure 17 is not hampered.
  • the container according to the invention can be delivered in a "bare" version, with a polished external tank or, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in a faired version by a parallelepipedic cover 23 carried by the tank structure and releasing, at the lower part of the container, the displacement rollers 24 mounted on the base of the external tank 3.
  • the operating handle of the cover structure 17 is advantageously replaced by an elongated operating rod or handle 25 having one end hingedly connected, at 26, to the cover structure 17, and the other of which end extends in the space between the external reservoir 3 and the cowling 23 and comprises a stop member cooperating with the cowling 23 to limit the opening of the cover structure 17 in a determined angular position.
  • This arrangement allows the lid structure to be fully opened without requiring contact with a cold zone thereof, for example the cap 12, and close it without having to lean over the access opening 6 of the container.
  • the tanks 2 and 3 as well as the tank 10 are typically made of stainless steel, the tank 10 can be made of aluminum, the plug 12 made of a molded polyurethane foam with a fiber-reinforced skin. glass, the cover structure 17 in plastic material and the cover 23 in painted steel sheets.
