Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rock storage, and in particular relates to a display type rock core storage device. Background Art

[0002] At present, geological surveys, surface matrix surveys, and the coal, oil, gas, and mineral industries often require the collection of outcrop rocks at field geological survey sites and the acquisition of typical rock cores through geological drilling. After obtaining the rock cores, existing technology usually uses storage boxes to store them. However, conventional storage boxes can only be placed flat or upright on the ground. Therefore, when displaying the rock cores, the rock cores can usually only be in a flat or upright state. When the observer stands and observes, the flat state is only convenient for observing the side of the rock core but not the end face of the rock core. The upright state is convenient for observing the end face but not the side face of the rock core. The display surface of both display states is relatively limited. Therefore, in order to better display the rock cores, we propose a display-type rock core storage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related art, the present invention discloses a display type core storage.

[0004] To achieve the above object, a technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] A display-type core storage device comprises a box body, a box cover hinged to the box body, and a locking assembly provided on the rear side of the box body. The box body has an opening on the front side, and the box cover can be flipped relative to the box body to open and close the opening.

[0006] When the box cover is flipped over to the front side of the box body to close the opening, the locking assembly can fix the box cover to the front side of the box body;

[0007] When the box cover is flipped to the rear side of the box body to open the opening, the locking assembly can fix the box cover to the rear side of the box body. In this state, the box cover can contact the ground to support the box body in an inclined state from front to back and downward to upward.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes an elastic expander longitudinally slidably assembled on the rear side of the box body, an upper limit structure provided above the elastic expander and connected to the box body, and a lower limit structure provided below the elastic expander and connected to the box body. The elastic expander will extend to its upper and lower ends respectively under the action of its own elastic force so that its upper and lower ends abut against the upper limit structure and the lower limit structure respectively.

[0009] The box cover is provided with a first plug hole matching the elastic retractor, a plug rod is provided on one side of the box cover, a first locking groove is provided on the side of the plug rod, and a second plug hole is provided at the rear end of the box body;

[0010] When the box cover is flipped over to the front side of the box body to close the opening, the insertion rod will pass through the second insertion hole to align the first locking groove with the elastic retractor. In this state, the upper end of the elastic retractor can abut against the upper limit structure, and the lower end of the elastic retractor can be inserted into the first locking groove under the action of its own elastic force to fix the box cover to the front side of the box body;

[0011] When the box cover is flipped to the rear side of the box body to open the opening and the first plug hole is aligned with the upper end of the elastic expander, the lower end of the elastic expander can abut against the lower limit structure, and the upper end of the elastic expander can pass upward through the first plug hole to abut against the upper limit structure to fix the box cover to the rear side of the box body. In this state, the box cover can contact the ground to support the box body in an inclined state from front to back and from bottom to top.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of collars distributed vertically are fixedly connected to the rear side of the box body, and the elastic expander is slidably assembled in a plurality of the collars.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower limit structure is defined as a wheel axle rotatably connected to the box body, and rollers are fixedly connected to both ends of the wheel axle.

[0014] Furthermore, a plurality of second locking grooves matching the elastic expander are provided in a circular array around the axis of the wheel axle at positions corresponding to the elastic expander on the side surface of the wheel axle.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of supporting feet flush with the lower ends of the rollers are provided on the front side of the lower end of the box.

[0016] Furthermore, the relatively telescopic parts of the elastic expander are all provided with shifting blocks.

[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of rock fixers for fixing columnar rocks are provided inside the box.

[0018] Furthermore, the rock fixer includes a fixing tube whose lower end is connected to the bottom of the inner side of the box body, and a plurality of fixing bolts penetrating the inside and outside of the fixing tube are threadedly connected to the side surface of the fixing tube.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Reference Figure 1-13 As shown, the demonstration core storage shown in this embodiment includes a box body 1, a box cover 2 hinged on the box body 1, and a locking assembly 3 arranged on the rear side of the box body 1. The front side of the box body 1 has an opening, and the box cover 2 can be flipped relative to the box body 1 to open and close the opening.

[0039] Specifically, the box body 1 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, which includes a bottom plate 14, side plates 15 fixed to the left and right ends of the bottom plate 14, and a rear plate 16 fixed to the rear end of the bottom plate 14 and fixed to the two side plates 15. This shape makes the box body 1 have no top wall and front wall, so an opening is formed. In other words, the opening passes through the upper end and the front end of the box body 1. In this way, when the rock core is placed upright on the inner bottom wall of the box body 1, the front side surface and the upper end surface of the rock core will not be blocked, which is conducive to observing the side and end surfaces of the rock core after the box cover 2 is opened.

[0040] Specifically, the box lid 2 includes a top plate 24 and a front plate 25 connected in an L-shape. The top plate 24 is hinged at one end away from the front plate 25, and two hinges 26 are hinged to the upper end of the rear plate 16. This allows the box lid 2 to flip forward and backward relative to the box body 1. When the box lid 2 flips to the front side of the box body 1 and the front plate 25 abuts the front end of the bottom plate 14, the top plate 24 and the front plate 25 will respectively seal the top and front end of the box body 1 to close the opening. It is worth mentioning that after the box lid 2 closes the opening, the top plate 24 and the front plate 25 are both located between the two side plates 15. Furthermore, the front end of the bottom plate 14 also has a front plate receiving groove 141 for accommodating the front plate 25. This ensures that after the front plate 25 abuts the front end of the bottom plate 14, the front end of the front plate 25 remains flush with the front ends of the two side plates 15, allowing the box lid 2 and the box body 1 to be assembled into a complete rectangular container, giving the storage device a simple and beautiful overall appearance.

[0041] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 3 includes an elastic expander 31 that is longitudinally slidably assembled on the rear side of the rear plate 16, an upper limit structure 32 provided above the elastic expander 31 and connected to the rear plate 16, and a lower limit structure 33 provided below the elastic expander 31 and connected to the rear plate 16. In this embodiment, the elastic expander 31 includes an upper tube 312, a middle tube 313, a lower tube 314, and a spring assembled in the middle tube 313 with its ends abutting against the top wall of the upper tube 312 and the bottom wall of the lower tube 314, respectively. The upper tube 312 and the lower tube 314 are both slidably assembled on the outside of the middle tube 313. Both the upper tube 312 and the lower tube 314 can telescopically slide relative to the middle tube 313, but neither can completely slide out of the middle tube 313. In other words, a sliding travel limit structure is provided between the upper tube 312 and the lower tube 314 and the middle tube 313. In a natural state, the elastic retractor 31 will extend the upper tube 312 and the lower tube 314 toward the upper and lower ends respectively under the elastic force of the spring to abut against the upper limit structure 32 and the lower limit structure 33 respectively.

[0042] In order to enable the elastic expander 31 to slide longitudinally, it is arranged on the rear side of the rear plate 16. A plurality of rings 13 distributed vertically are fixed to the rear side of the rear plate 16. The elastic expander 31 is slidably assembled in the plurality of rings 13. In this way, the elastic expander 31 can slide up and down relative to the rear plate 16, that is, the box body 1.

[0043] In order to cooperate with the locking assembly 3 to fix the box cover 2 to the box body 1, the top plate 24 of the box cover 2 is provided with a first hole 21 that matches the upper tube 312, the inner side of the front plate 25 is provided with an insertion rod 22, and the side of the insertion rod 22 is provided with a first locking groove 23 that matches the lower tube 314, and the rear plate 16 is provided with a second hole 12 for inserting the insertion rod 22.

[0044] It should be noted that, in order to improve the fixing strength between the box cover 2 and the box body 1 in this embodiment, the locking assembly 3 is arranged in the center relative to the left and right sides of the box cover 2. Therefore, in the process of the box cover 2 flipping backward, in order to make way for the upper limit structure 32, a make-way groove 241 for accommodating the upper limit structure 32 is provided on the top plate 24 of the box cover 2. In some embodiments, the locking assembly 3 can be set at the edges of the left and right sides of the box cover 2, that is, the area that will not be covered after the box cover 2 is flipped. In this embodiment, since the box cover 2 does not need to make way for the upper limit structure 32, the make-way groove 241 can be cancelled accordingly.

[0045] When the box cover 2 is flipped to the front side of the box body 1 to close the opening, the insertion rod 22 will pass through the second insertion hole 12 to align the first locking groove 23 with the elastic expander 31, that is, with the lower end of the lower tube 314. In this state, the upper end of the upper tube 312 can abut against the upper limit structure 32, and the lower end of the lower tube 314 can be inserted downward into the first locking groove 23 under the elastic force of the spring to limit the rotation of the front plate 25, thereby fixing the box cover 2 to the front side of the box body 1. In this state, the box cover 2 and the box body 1 form a sealed storage, so that rock cores can be stored in a sealed manner. It should be noted that when the lid 2 is flipped from the open state to the closed state, the lower cylinder 314 must be lifted upward in advance to overcome the elastic force of the spring to make way for the insertion of the insertion rod 22. After the front plate 25 abuts the front end of the bottom plate 14, the first locking groove 23 will be directly below the lower cylinder 314. At this time, the lower cylinder 314 can be released and allowed to insert into the first locking groove 23 under the rebound action of the spring to fix the lid 2 in the closed state. After that, the lower cylinder 314 can be pushed upward to overcome the elastic force of the spring so that the lower cylinder 314 exits the first locking groove 23 to unlock the lid 2.

[0046] When the box cover 2 is flipped to the rear side of the box body 1 to open the opening and the first hole 21 is aligned with the upper end of the upper tube 312, the lower end of the lower tube 314 can abut against the lower limit structure 33, and the upper end of the upper tube 312 can pass upward through the first hole 21 and abut against the upper limit structure 32 to limit the rotation of the front plate 25, thereby fixing the box cover 2 to the rear side of the box body 1. In this state, the top plate 24 will abut against the rear end of the rear plate 16, and the front plate 25 will remain vertical to the rear plate 16. In this state, the box body 1 can be tilted backward so that the lower end of the front plate 25 and the rear end of the bottom plate 14 are supported on the ground. In this way, the box body 1 can be supported in an inclined state from front to back and downward to upward. In this state, the rock core in the box body 1 can be in an inclined state, that is, the side and upper end faces of the rock core are inclined toward the upper side, so that the observer can observe both the side and end faces of the rock core when standing and observing, so there is no need for the observer to lean over or even squat to observe, so the storage is conducive to displaying the rock core. It should be noted that, in the process of flipping the box cover 2 from the closed state to the open state and fixing it in the open state, the lower cylinder 314 must first be lifted upward against the elastic force of the spring to unlock the box cover 2 so that the box cover 2 can be flipped. Before the box cover 2 flips backward, the upper cylinder 312 must be pushed downward against the elastic force of the spring in advance to make way for the flipping of the box cover 2. After the top plate 24 abuts against the rear plate 16, the first insertion hole 21 will be located directly below the upper cylinder 312. At this time, the upper cylinder 312 can be loosened and inserted into the first insertion hole 21 under the rebound action of the spring to fix the box cover 2 in the open state. After that, the upper cylinder 312 can be pushed downward against the elastic force of the spring so that the upper cylinder 312 is removed from the first insertion hole 21 to unlock the box cover 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the shifting of the upper tube 312 and the lower tube 314, both the upper tube 312 and the lower tube 314 are provided with a shifting block 311. The shifting block 311 can increase the force point to facilitate the user to apply the shifting force, thereby making it easier for the user to shift the upper tube 312 and the lower tube 314.

[0048] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the movement of the entire storage container and enhance its portability, the following design is also made. Specifically, the rear end of the rear plate 16 is fixedly connected to two wheel axle seats 335 distributed on the left and right, and the lower limit structure 33 is defined as a wheel axle 331 rotatably connected to the two wheel axle seats 335. Both ends of the wheel axle 331 are fixedly connected to rollers 332, and the front side of the lower end of the box body 1 is provided with a plurality of support feet 334 that are flush with the lower ends of the rollers 332.

[0049] When the entire storage device needs to be moved, the storage device can be tilted backward so that the storage device is in contact with the ground only through the two rollers 332. In this way, the entire storage device can be rolled on the ground through the rollers 332. Since the storage device stores rock cores with higher density and heavier mass, this design can greatly reduce the difficulty of moving the storage device, save more effort when moving, and improve overall portability.

[0050] After the storage device is moved to the target position, when it needs to be placed still, it can be placed in an upright state so that the entire storage device contacts the ground through the two rollers 332 and the two support feet 334. When the support feet 334 contact the ground, a large friction force can be generated to inhibit the rollers 332 from rotating, which is conducive to placing the storage device vertically and still.

[0051] In order to prevent the storage container from sliding freely along with the roller 332 after the box cover 2 is opened, the present embodiment also makes the following design. Specifically, a plurality of second locking grooves 333 that match the lower cylinder 314 are arranged in a circular array around the axis of the wheel axle 331 at the side of the wheel axle 331 at the position corresponding to the lower cylinder 314. When the box cover 2 is closed on the box body 1, the lower end of the lower cylinder 314 will be inserted into the first locking groove 23. After the box cover 2 is opened, the insertion rod 22 will exit the second insertion hole 12, and the lower cylinder 314 will naturally extend downward under the elastic force of the spring, that is, the lower end will abut against the wheel axle 331. Since a plurality of second locking grooves 333 that match the lower cylinder 314 are arranged in a circular array around the axis of the wheel axle 331 at the position corresponding to the lower cylinder 314, the lower end of the lower cylinder 314 will be inserted into the second locking groove 23. In a second locking slot 333, after the lower cylinder 314 is inserted into one of the second locking slots 333, the wheel shaft 331 is limited so that the wheel shaft 331 cannot rotate axially. Accordingly, the rollers 332 fixed to both ends of the wheel shaft 331 are braked, so that the storage device will not slide freely with the rollers 332. When the box body 1 is tilted to display the core, the storage device can contact the ground through the lower end of the front plate 25 and the two rollers 332, so that the storage device can be stably placed on the ground. It is worth mentioning that after the box cover 2 and the box body 1 are closed, the lower cylinder 314 will be inserted into the first locking slot 23. Therefore, in this state, the two rollers 332 will be in an unlocked state. Therefore, the storage device in the closed state can be rolled and moved by the two rollers 332. The braking and unlocking of the rollers 332 will automatically switch as the storage device is opened and closed, without the need for deliberate operation by the user, making it convenient to use.

[0052] In order to fix the rock core in the storage and prevent the rock core from being displaced and colliding in the storage, this embodiment also makes the following design. Specifically, a plurality of rock fixers 4 for fixing columnar rocks are provided on the inner side of the box body 1. The rock fixer 4 includes a fixing cylinder 41 whose lower end is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner side of the box body 1. The outer circle of the cross-section of the fixing cylinder 41 is a regular hexagon, and the inner circle is a circle. The three non-adjacent side surfaces on the outside of the fixing cylinder 41 are threadedly connected with a group of fixing bolts 42 passing through the inside and outside. The number of each group of fixing bolts 42 is two, and they are distributed up and down. The outer end of the fixing bolt 42 is fixed with a cross-shaped handle to facilitate the user to turn the fixing bolt 42 by hand.

[0053] In order to achieve a rotational connection between the fixed cylinder 41 and the inner bottom of the box body 1, a fixed column 17 is fixed to the inner bottom of the box body 1, and a bearing 18 is rigidly fitted on the outer side of the fixed column 17. A bearing hole 411 matching the bearing 18 is opened at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 41. The fixed cylinder 41 is interference fit on the outer side of the bearing 18 through the bearing hole 411, thereby achieving a rotational connection between the fixed cylinder 41 and the inner bottom of the box body 1.

[0054] When securing the core, the core is inserted into the fixing barrel 41 so that the lower end of the core abuts the bottom of the fixing barrel 41. Then, all three sets of fixing bolts are tightened to clamp the core in the fixing barrel 41. This restricts the displacement of the core and prevents it from colliding with other objects in the storage container, thus protecting the core. It is worth mentioning that since the fixing barrel 41 and the box body 1 are rotatable, the observer can gently push the fixing barrel 41 to rotate it when observing the core, making it easier to observe different positions on the side of the core.

[0055] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
