[0029] See also Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a water sample storage box for environmental protection water sample detection and storage, which can prevent the water sample from spilling during the movement process or when placed on an uneven surface after the water sample is collected, thereby improving the accuracy of water sample detection. The water sample storage box includes a box body 1, and the box body 1 is provided with a test tube fixing seat 2 and one or more horizontally arranged clamping components for fixing the test tube for collecting the water sample. The test tube fixing seat 2 is arranged below the clamping component and is used to fix the lower part of the test tube for collecting the water sample. The clamping component includes a mobile clamping component 3 and a fixed clamping component 4. The mobile clamping component 3 in each clamping component can approach or move away from the fixed clamping component 4 in the horizontal direction.

[0030] After the test tube for collecting water samples has collected water samples, the bottom is first inserted into the test tube fixing seat 2, at which time the mobile clamping assembly 3 is away from the fixed clamping assembly 4, and then the mobile clamping assembly 3 is moved closer to the fixed clamping assembly 4 until the mobile clamping assembly 3 and the fixed clamping assembly 4 are respectively in contact with the side walls of the test tube for collecting water samples, thereby fixing the upper part of the test tube. The water sample storage box can fix the upper part and the bottom of the test tube for collecting water samples respectively, thereby improving the stability of the test tube in the water sample storage box and avoiding the phenomenon of water samples tipping over during movement.

[0031] Furthermore, the water sample storage box also includes an adjusting screw 5 and sliding rods 6 respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the box body 1. The adjusting screw 5 is perpendicular to the mobile clamping assembly 3 and is screwed with the mobile clamping assembly 3 to drive the mobile clamping assembly 3 to approach or move away from the fixed clamping assembly 4 in the horizontal direction. The two ends of the mobile clamping assembly 3 are respectively slidably connected with the two sliding rods 6. When there are multiple mobile clamping assemblies 3, the positions of the mobile clamping assemblies 3 can be adjusted simultaneously by the adjusting screw 5, thereby improving the convenience of use. The adjusting screw 5 is screwed with the mobile clamping assembly 3 to position the mobile clamping assembly 3. The sliding rods 6 arranged at both ends of the mobile clamping assembly 3 improve the stability of the horizontal movement of the mobile clamping assembly 3.

[0032] Furthermore, the movable clamping assembly 3 includes a movable splint 301, and the two ends of the movable splint 301 are respectively slidably connected to the two sliding rods 6, and the fixed clamping assembly 4 includes a fixed splint 401, and the two ends of the fixed splint 401 are fixed to the inner wall of the box body 1, and the movable splint 301 and the fixed splint 401 are respectively connected with one or more test tube buckles 302 / 402 for clamping test tubes through a rotating shaft, and the test tube buckles 302 / 402 are arranged along the length direction of the movable splint 301 and the fixed splint 401, and the test tube buckles 302 / 402 on the movable splint 301 and the fixed splint 401 correspond one to one. The test tube buckle 302 / 402 is in a semicircular shape, and the opening directions of the test tube buckle 302 / 402 on the movable splint 301 and the fixed splint 401 are opposite, and the test tube for collecting water samples is fixed in the test tube buckle 302 / 402 of the movable splint 301 and the fixed splint 401; the test tube buckle 302 / 402 is connected to the movable splint 301 and the fixed splint 401 through a rotating shaft, so that the test tube buckle 302 / 402 can rotate a certain angle relative to the movable splint 301 and the fixed splint 401. When the water sample storage box is placed on an inclined ground, the test tube fixed in the test tube buckle 302 / 402 can be rotated to a vertical position with the test tube buckle 302 / 402, thereby reducing the possibility of spillage.

[0033] In one embodiment, both ends of the movable splint 301 and the fixed splint 401 are respectively provided with through holes, the aperture of which is slightly larger than the cross-section of the slide bar 6, and the slide bar 6 passes through the through holes on the movable splint 301 and the fixed splint 401 in sequence, and both ends of the fixed splint 401 are also fixed on the inner wall of the water sample storage box, so that the movable splint 301 can move smoothly on the slide bar 6.

[0034] Furthermore, the test tube holder 2 is provided with one or more test tube slots 201, and the test tube slots 201 correspond one-to-one with the test tube buckles 302 / 402 on the fixing clamp 401. Each test tube slot 201 is adapted to the size of the test tube, further improving the stability of the test tube fixation. The test tube slots 201 are arranged below the test tube buckles 302 / 402 on the fixing clamp 401, and correspond one-to-one, so that the test tube remains perpendicular to the test tube slots 201.

[0035] Preferably, the inner wall of the test tube slot 201 is provided with a plurality of grooves 2011, and the plurality of grooves 2011 are arranged circumferentially; a first elastic connector 2012 is also provided, one end of the first elastic connector 2012 is connected to the bottom of the groove 2011, and the other end is connected to a clamping block 2013, and the clamping block 2013 is arranged outside the groove 2011. When the test tube is placed in the test tube slot 201, it abuts against the clamping block 2013, so that the first elastic connector 2012 contracts, and the test tube is fixed by the resilience of the first elastic connector 2012. More preferably, the contact surface of the clamping block 2013 and the test tube is an arc surface that is concave toward the first elastic connector 2012, so that it fits more closely with the outer wall of the test tube, thereby improving its stability in clamping the test tube.

[0036] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, there are two grooves 2011 , and the two grooves 2011 are symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the test tube slot 201 .

[0037] In another embodiment, if Figure 5 As described above, there are three grooves 2011 , which are equidistantly arranged along the inner wall of the test tube slot 201 .

[0038] The water sample storage box also includes a support rod 7 and a first telescopic rod 8. The support rod 7 is fixed to the bottom of the box body 1, and its upper end is rotatably connected to the test tube holder 2 on the central axis of the test tube holder 2 through a rotating shaft. The first telescopic rod 8 includes at least two rods, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the test tube holder 2, and its upper end is connected to the test tube holder 2, and the lower end is fixed to the bottom of the box body 1. The support rod 7 supports the test tube holder 2, and is connected to the test tube holder 2 through a rotating shaft, so that the test tube holder 2 can rotate relative to the support rod 7, so that when the water sample storage box is placed on an inclined ground, the test tube holder 2 can rotate a certain angle, so that the test tube fixed thereon remains in a vertical state; the first telescopic rod 8 has a certain buffering and supporting effect on the lifting and lowering of the two sides of the test tube holder 2, thereby improving the swing stability of the test tube holder 2 and preventing the water sample in the test tube from shaking. In this embodiment, the support rods 7 include two support rods 7 , which are respectively arranged in front of and behind the symmetry center of the test tube fixing seat 2 , and are symmetrically arranged to maintain the balance of the test tube fixing seat 2 .

[0039] In the water sample storage box, a top pressure component 9 is also provided on the top cover of the box body 1. The lower end of the top pressure component 9 abuts against the top of the test tube clamped in the movable clamping component 3 and the fixed clamping component 4, fixes the test tube for collecting water samples in the longitudinal direction, and further improves the stability of the test tube fixation.

[0040] In the water sample storage box, the top pressure assembly 9 includes a second elastic connector 901, a second telescopic rod 902, a pressing plate 903 and an elastic gasket 904. The second elastic connector 901 includes one or more, one end of which is fixed to the bottom of the top cover and the other end is connected to the upper surface of the pressing plate 903. The second telescopic rod 902 includes at least two, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the pressing plate 903, the lower end of which is connected to the pressing plate 903, and the upper end is fixed to the bottom of the top cover; the elastic gasket 904 is fixed to the bottom of the pressing plate 903, covering the contact area between the pressing plate 903 and the test tube clamped in the mobile clamping assembly 3 and the fixed clamping assembly 4. In this embodiment, the elastic gasket 904 is a sponge block, so that when the top pressure assembly 9 contacts the top of the test tube, it plays a certain protective role on the top of the test tube. The second elastic connector 901 is a spring, and its resilience makes the sponge block abut against the top of the test tube, thereby fixing the test tube. The second telescopic rod 902 has a certain buffering effect on the contraction and rebound of the second elastic connecting member 901, further protecting the top of the test tube.

[0041] Furthermore, a counterweight 10 is connected to the center of the bottom of the test tube holder 2 through a rope, and the counterweight 10 is covered with a counterweight 10 protective shell, and the counterweight 10 protective shell is fixed to the bottom surface of the test tube holder 2. The counterweight 10 can keep the test tube holder 2 in a horizontal state when the water sample storage box is placed on an uneven ground, thereby ensuring that the test tube fixed thereon will not tilt. The counterweight 10 protective shell can prevent the counterweight 10 from being worn.

[0042] In the water sample storage box, one end of the adjusting screw 5 passes through the rear side wall of the box body 1 and the movable clamping assembly 3 and the fixed clamping assembly 4, and is connected to the front side wall of the box body 1 through a bearing body, and the other end is placed outside the box body 1 and is sleeved with an adjusting hand wheel 12; it is convenient to adjust the movable clamping assembly 3. Preferably, the adjusting screw 5 passes through the center of the length direction of the movable clamping plate 301 to make its movement more stable. A through hole is provided in the center of the length direction of the fixed clamping plate 401, and the aperture of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the adjusting screw 5, and the adjusting screw 5 passes through the through hole; not only can the fixed clamping plate 401 and the movable clamping plate 301 be kept on the same horizontal line, so that the test tube buckle 302 / 402 arranged thereon is kept on the same horizontal line, improving the clamping stability, but also the fixed clamping plate 401 will not affect the rotation of the adjusting screw 5.

[0043] When using the water sample storage box, first open the box cover of the box body 1, then insert the bottom end of the test tube containing the water sample into the test tube slot on the test tube fixing seat 2, the outer wall of the test tube will squeeze the clamping block 2013 in the groove 2011 of the inner wall of the test tube slot 201, and when the test tube is placed in the test tube slot 201, the clamping block 2013 can compress and clamp the outer wall of the test tube under the squeezing action of the first elastic connector 2012. After the lower end of the test tube is fixed, the adjusting screw 5 is rotated, and the adjusting screw 5 drives the movable clamp 301 to move through the threaded connection, and the movable clamp 301 moves horizontally along the slide bar 6 toward the fixed clamp 401. When the distance between the movable clamp 301 and the fixed clamp 401 becomes smaller, the corresponding test tube buckles 302 / 402 on the movable clamp 301 and the fixed clamp 401 clamp and fix the outer wall of the upper end of the test tube. After the test tube is fixed, the top cover of the box body 1 is closed, and the bottom of the box cover is pressed downwardly toward the inside of the box body 1 through the pressing plate 903 connected by the second telescopic rod 902. The second elastic connecting member 901 connected between the pressing plate 903 and the box body 1 can squeeze the pressing plate 903 by compression. When the pressing plate 903 is squeezed, the sponge block under the pressing plate 903 can press the upper end of the test tube fixed inside the box body 1 as a whole, so that the test tube is fixed more stably. When the box body 1 needs to be moved and placed on some uneven ground, the counterweight block 10 at the bottom of the test tube fixing seat 2 will always remain in a vertical state due to the action of gravity, so that the test tube fixing seat 2 can rotate by itself through the rotating shaft to maintain a horizontal state, so that the test tube inserted on the test tube fixing seat 2 is always in a vertical state, avoiding the box body 1 from tilting and causing the test tube containing the water sample to fall over. When the test tube holder 2 is adjusted, the first telescopic rod 8 at its bottom can cooperate with the rotation of the test tube holder 2 by telescoping, and can play an auxiliary supporting role after the test tube holder 2 is stabilized. At the same time, the test tube buckle 302 / 402 fixed on the upper part of the test tube can also be rotated on the movable clamp 301 and the fixed clamp 401 through the rotating shaft to cooperate with the position adjustment of the test tube holder 2, thereby completing a series of tasks.
