[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 5 As shown:
[0033] Embodiment 1: The present invention provides a plant specimen pressing device, comprising:
[0034] The pressing mechanism 1 includes a pressing lower plate 11 and a pressing upper plate 12. The upper side of the pressing lower plate 11 is fixedly connected to a plurality of screws 13. The pressing upper plate 12 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 14. The outer side of the screw 13 is rotatably connected to a butterfly nut 15.
[0035] The pressing lower plate 11 is the basic part of the entire pressing mechanism, which provides a stable support surface for placing the plant specimens to be pressed;
[0036] The screws 13 are key components connecting the lower pressing plate 11 and the upper pressing plate 12. They are mounted vertically on the upper side of the lower pressing plate 11 and extend upward. The outer side of the screws 13 is designed with threads for threaded connection with the butterfly nuts 15, thereby securing and tightening the upper pressing plate 12.
[0037] The upper pressing plate 12 is located above the lower pressing plate 11 and is used to apply pressure to the plant specimens. Several positioning holes 14 are provided on the upper pressing plate 12. These positioning holes 14 correspond to the positions of the screws 13 and are used to slide the upper pressing plate 12 onto the screws 13, ensuring stable movement and positioning.
[0038] The positioning holes 14 are one of the key designs on the pressing upper plate 12. They are not only used to connect and position with the screw 13, but also ensure that the pressing upper plate 12 can move smoothly along the axial direction of the screw 13.
[0039] The butterfly nuts 15 are important components that connect the screw 13 and the pressing upper plate 12. They are connected to the outside of the screw 13 through threads and are located above the pressing upper plate 12. The design of the butterfly nuts 15 allows the operator to easily rotate them to fix and tighten the pressing upper plate 12. Since the butterfly nuts 15 have a large operating area and an easy-to-grip shape, they can provide better operating convenience and comfort.
[0040] A specimen pressing groove is also provided at the middle position of the upper side of the pressing lower plate 11, and an extrusion plate corresponding to the specimen pressing groove is provided at the lower side of the pressing upper plate 12;
[0041] Among them, a pressing plate corresponding to the specimen pressing groove is designed on the lower side of the pressing upper plate 12. When the pressing upper plate 12 is fixed and pressed, the pressing plate will fit tightly against the plant specimen and absorbent paper in the specimen pressing groove, thereby achieving uniform pressing of the specimen.
[0042] The upper pressing plate 12 is slidably engaged with the screw 13 through the positioning hole 14. The upper pressing plate 12 is located between the lower pressing plate 11 and the butterfly nut 15.
[0043] When in use, the operator first places the prepared herbal specimen in the middle of multiple sheets of absorbent paper, and then places the entire specimen in the specimen pressing groove of the pressing lower plate 11, and then adjusts the position of the pressing upper plate 12 so that it slides and is embedded in the screw 13 through the positioning hole 14, and the extrusion plate is embedded in the specimen pressing groove. Then, the butterfly nut 15 is rotated to fasten it to the screw 13, so that the pressing upper plate 12 can drive the extrusion plate to move downward and press the specimen. Through manual operation of the butterfly nut 15, the tightness of the pressing can be adjusted as needed to achieve the best pressing effect.
[0044] Specifically, a row of U-shaped rods 16 is provided on the upper side of the pressing lower plate 11;
[0045] A row of guide holes 17 is provided on one side of the pressing upper plate 12;
[0046] The upper pressing plate 12 is limitedly slidably engaged with the U-shaped rod 16 through a row of guide holes 17;
[0047] Specifically, the number of U-shaped rods 16 and guide holes 17 corresponds to each other;
[0048] The U-shaped rods 16 are a key component on the upper side of the press plate 11. Their U-shaped structure provides additional support and guidance. They are mounted vertically on the press plate 11. Their shape and position are designed to mate with guide holes 17 in the press plate 12, achieving a stable sliding connection.
[0049] As can be seen from the above, the pressing upper plate 12 is limited and slidably embedded in the U-shaped rod 16 through a row of guide holes 17. The staff can adjust the position of the pressing upper plate 12 as needed, so as to facilitate the placement of specimens and absorbent paper. The pressing upper plate 12 is limited by the U-shaped rod 16. While being beautiful, it can also avoid the loss of the pressing upper plate 12 and the pressing lower plate 11 due to separation when the device is not in use.
[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown:
[0051] Example 2: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that it further includes:
[0052] The storage mechanism 2 includes a storage box assembly 21 that is limitedly slidably embedded on the pressing lower plate 11 .
[0053] Specifically, the storage box assembly 21 includes a storage box body 211 , a convex ball rod 212 is fixedly connected to one side of the storage box body 211 , and a slider 213 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage box body 211 ;
[0054] The storage box body 211 is used to store the main body of the butterfly nut 15. A partition bar can be provided inside the storage box to better limit the shaking of the butterfly nut 15 and prevent them from colliding with each other or rolling during storage.
[0055] The convex ball rod 212 is fixedly connected to one side of the storage box body 211, making it convenient for staff to open and close the storage box body 211;
[0056] The slider 213 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage box body 211 and is used to cooperate with the guide rod 18 to achieve limited sliding engagement of the storage box.
[0057] A guide rod 18 is also provided inside the pressing lower plate 11;
[0058] The storage box body 211 is limitedly slidably engaged with the guide rod 18 by the slider 213;
[0059] The interior of the storage box body 211 is used to place the butterfly nut 15;
[0060] The guide rod 18 is a key component provided inside the pressing lower plate 11 and is used to provide a sliding track for the storage box assembly 21 .
[0061] Specifically, the storage mechanism 2 further includes a spring 22 sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 18;
[0062] The spring 22 drives the slider 213 to drive the storage box body 211 to slide along the guide rod 18 and sink into the interior of the pressing lower plate 11;
[0063] Among them, the spring 22 is another important component of the storage mechanism 2, which is mounted on the outside of the guide rod 18. When the storage box assembly 21 is pulled out, the spring 22 will deform, thereby providing a driving force, so that the storage box can slide along the guide rod 18 and automatically sink into the interior of the pressing lower plate 11.
[0064] As can be seen from the above, when the device is not in use, the convex ball rod 212 can be pulled to move the storage box body 211 and extend it to press the lower plate 11. When the storage box body 211 is extended, the staff can place the butterfly nut 15 inside the storage box body 211.
[0065] When the storage box body 211 is extended, the slider 213 will move and the spring 22 will be compressed on the outside of the guide rod 18. After the convex ball rod 212 is released, the spring 22 will reset and the slider 213 will drive the storage box body 211 to reset and sink into the interior of the pressing lower plate 11, thereby completing the storage of the butterfly nut 15.
[0066] Application Process:
[0067] 1. Basic operations of specimen compression
[0068] Preparation stage:
[0069] Place the prepared herbal specimen in the middle of several sheets of absorbent paper, making sure the specimen is flat and the absorbent paper can fully absorb excess water in the specimen.
[0070] Place the absorbent paper and the specimen as a whole in the specimen pressing groove of the lower pressing plate 11, ensuring that the specimen is in the center of the pressing groove.
[0071] Adjust the pressing upper plate:
[0072] The operator adjusts the position of the upper pressing plate 12 according to the size and thickness of the specimen. The guide holes 17 on one side of the upper pressing plate 12 cooperate with the U-shaped rods 16 on the upper side of the lower pressing plate 11 so that the upper pressing plate 12 can slide smoothly and accurately above the lower pressing plate 11.
[0073] Ensure that the pressing plate for pressing the upper plate 12 is embedded in the specimen pressing groove and is in close contact with the specimen.
[0074] Fixation and suppression:
[0075] The butterfly nut 15 on the upper plate 12 is rotated and tightened to the screw 13. By the manual operation of the butterfly nut 15, the compaction degree can be adjusted as needed to achieve the best compaction effect.
[0076] During the pressing process, the pressing condition of the specimen can be checked regularly and appropriate adjustments can be made as needed.
[0077] 2. Use of storage institutions
[0078] To store butterfly nuts:
[0079] After the specimen is pressed and the upper pressing plate 12 is removed, the operator can pull the convex ball rod 212 on the storage box assembly 21 to extend the storage box body 211 from the interior of the lower pressing plate 11 .
[0080] The used butterfly nut 15 is placed inside the storage box body 211 to ensure that the butterfly nut 15 will not be lost.
[0081] Storage box reset:
[0082] When the storage box body 211 is extended, the slider 213 moves on the guide rod 18 and compresses the spring 22 .
[0083] After the protruding ball rod 212 is released, the spring 22 will reset itself by its own elastic force, driving the slider 213 and the storage box body 211 to slide along the guide rod 18 and re-enter the interior of the pressing lower plate 11.
[0084] This ensures that the storage box assembly 21 does not take up extra space when not in use, while keeping the device neat and beautiful.
