Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of experimental equipment storage structure technology, specifically to an experimental equipment storage device with a widely adaptable structure. Background Technology

[0002] The proper storage of laboratory equipment is a crucial aspect of laboratory management, as it directly affects equipment maintenance, usage efficiency, and laboratory safety.

[0003] Existing storage devices for experimental equipment typically have multiple partitions that divide the space into several compartments to facilitate the storage of multiple pieces of equipment. However, the size of these compartments is fixed and not easily adjustable. Experimental equipment varies in size; some equipment is too small, and placing it in a fixed space not only results in poor securing but also wastes space. On the other hand, some equipment is too large and cannot be accommodated in a fixed space. Furthermore, the shapes of experimental equipment vary, making it difficult for a fixed space to accommodate equipment with different structures, resulting in low applicability of the storage device.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a storage device for experimental equipment with a widely adaptable structure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage device for experimental equipment with a widely adaptable structure, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a storage device for experimental equipment with a widely adaptable structure, comprising a storage box and an adjusting component. A movable plate is movably fitted inside the storage box, and a fitting plate is movably fitted to the movable plate via the adjusting component. Two rotating rods are rotatably connected to the fitting plate, and the rotating rods are provided with pressing components that cooperate with the experimental equipment. A movable plate is movably fitted to the movable plate and rotates with the adjusting component. The end of the movable plate is provided with a base plate for supporting the experimental equipment.

[0007] It also includes a control rod that is movably inserted into the storage box. A limiting plate that rotates with the storage box is fixedly connected to the control rod. A control element is provided between the control rod and the end of the movable plate. The control element moves the movable plate upward through the control rod, which facilitates the rotation of the movable plate and causes the downward-moving movable plate to press against and fix to the bottom of the storage box.

[0008] Preferably, the adjusting component includes multiple sets of bottom support rods, with the middle of each set of bottom support rods rotatably connected to each other. The top surface height of the bottom support rod is the same as the top surface height of the bottom support plate. Sliding grooves are provided on both the movable plate and the mating plate. A sliding column that slides in cooperation with the sliding groove is fixedly connected to the end of the bottom support rod.

[0009] Preferably, gears are fixedly connected to the ends of the two sliding columns located on the movable plate near the moving plate. The two gears mesh with each other and rotate on their original position on the movable plate. The two gears mesh with the moving plate. The moving plate has a frame structure, and the two sides of the inner frame of the moving plate are toothed.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the base plate is provided with a pressing sleeve that presses against the storage box, and the bottom support rod is provided with a rotating groove that is rotatably connected to the pressing sleeve. The bottom of the pressing sleeve is made of rubber elastic material.

[0011] Preferably, the pressing member includes a sleeve plate that is connected and fixed to the rotating rod. The sleeve plate has an I-shaped groove, and the two I-shaped grooves are arranged in opposite directions. An I-beam plate is frictionally fitted on the I-shaped groove, and the I-beam plate is flush with one side plane of the sleeve plate.

[0012] Preferably, the two rotating rods are rotatably connected by a torsion spring rod.

[0013] Preferably, a pressure post that fits against the experimental equipment is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box. The pressure post is semi-cylindrical in shape, and two limiting grooves are opened on the inner side of the pressure post to fit into the limiting plate.

[0014] Preferably, the control component includes a connecting rod that is fixedly connected to the movable plate, a connecting column that is fixedly connected to the bottom of the control rod, a connecting groove with a T-shaped cross-section opened on the top surface of the connecting rod, the connecting column that moves within the connecting groove, and an elastic compression member that is connected between the connecting groove and the connecting column.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom end of the pressure column is in pressure engagement with the movable plate, and the bottom end of the control rod is in pressure contact with the connecting rod.

[0016] Preferably, the top of the control lever is pressed against the door of the storage box to further stabilize the control lever.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] Under the action of the bottom support rod, the mating plate moves parallel to the movable plate, thereby allowing the pressing part to move closer to or away from the pressing column, so as to clamp and fix experimental equipment with different fitting structures.

[0019] At the same time, the bottom support rods rotate relative to each other, adjusting the distance between the movable plate and the mating plate, so as to support experimental equipment with different adaptable structures. The movement of the movable plate also helps the pressing parts to cooperate with the pressing column and the inner wall of the storage box to fix experimental equipment of different sizes and angles.

[0020] When the distance between the mating plate and the movable plate changes, the bottom support rods rotate relative to each other, and the two gears mesh with each other. On the one hand, this ensures that the rotation angle of the bottom support rods is consistent, thus ensuring that the mating plate and the movable plate always maintain a parallel distribution for adjustment. On the other hand, the two gears rotate relative to each other in opposite directions, driving the movable plate to move smoothly, thereby adjusting the position of the bottom support plate. This ensures that the bottom support plate is always located between the movable plate and the mating plate, so that the bottom support plate and the bottom support rod always evenly support the experimental equipment, ensuring the stability of the experimental equipment.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-8 The present invention provides a storage device for experimental equipment with a widely adaptable structure, including a storage box 1 and an adjusting component. A movable plate 2 is movably fitted inside the storage box 1. A fitting plate 3 is movably fitted to the movable plate 2 through the adjusting component. Two rotating rods 4 are rotatably connected to the fitting plate 3. A pressing component that fits with the experimental equipment is provided on the rotating rods 4. A movable plate 5 that fits with the adjusting component is movably fitted to the movable plate 2. A base plate 6 for supporting the experimental equipment is provided at the end of the movable plate 5.

[0032] It also includes a control rod 7 that is movably inserted into the storage box 1. A limiting plate 8 that rotates with the storage box 1 is fixedly connected to the control rod 7. A control component is provided between the control rod 7 and the end of the movable plate 2. The control component moves the movable plate 2 upward through the control rod 7, which facilitates the rotation of the movable plate 2 and makes the downward-moving movable plate 2 press against and fix to the bottom of the storage box 1.

[0033] The steps for storing experimental equipment are as follows:

[0034] S1. After lifting the control lever 7, rotate the control lever 7 to move the movable plate 2, the pressing sleeve 13, and the mating plate 3 away from the bottom of the storage box 1, thereby releasing the restriction on the movable plate 2. The limit plate 8 is used to keep the movable plate 2 stably at this height, at which time the movable plate 2 can rotate.

[0035] S2. Rotate the pressing parts and place the experimental equipment on the bottom plate 6 and bottom support rod 9, so that the two pressing parts clamp the experimental equipment.

[0036] S3. The movable pressing component causes the movable plate 2 to rotate and the mating plate 3 to move along the movable plate 2. At this time, the bottom support rod 9 rotates adaptively to ensure the bottom support effect on the experimental equipment. This allows the pressing component to work with the pressing column 18 to clamp the experimental equipment. The rotating movable plate 2 makes the experimental equipment fit tightly against the side of the storage box 1, which is convenient for occupying space reasonably and is conducive to the placement of other experimental equipment.

[0037] S4. Rotate the control lever 7 and press down the control lever 7. Finally, rotate the control lever 7 to press and fix the movable plate 2, the pressing sleeve 13, and the mating plate 3 against the bottom of the storage box 1, thus completing the fixation of the experimental equipment.

[0038] S. Following steps S1-S3, place the other experimental equipment inside, ensuring the storage of experimental equipment with different compatibility structures, and ensuring the space between experimental equipment that are close to each other. Under the premise of ensuring the fixation effect and the gap distance, make flexible adjustments to ensure full utilization of the space.

[0039] The adjusting component includes multiple sets of bottom support rods 9, with the middle of each set of bottom support rods 9 rotatably connected to each other. The top surface height of the bottom support rod 9 is the same as the top surface height of the bottom support plate 6. Sliding grooves 10 are provided on both the movable plate 2 and the mating plate 3. A sliding column 11 that slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the bottom support rod 9.

[0040] In this application, the experimental equipment is placed on the base plate 6. By moving the rotating rod 4, under the action of the base rod 9, the mating plate 3 moves parallel to the movable plate 2. The sliding column 11 moves along the sliding groove 10, so that the pressing part moves closer to or away from the pressing column 18, so as to clamp and fix the experimental equipment with different fitting structures.

[0041] At the same time, the bottom support rods 9 rotate relative to each other, adjusting the distance between the movable plate 2 and the mating plate 3, so as to support experimental equipment with different adaptable structures.

[0042] The bottom support rod 9 does not have a friction layer on its top surface, while the bottom support plate 6 has a friction layer on its top surface. This makes it easier to rotate the bottom support rod 9 to adjust its position without causing the experimental equipment to move.

[0043] Two sliding columns 11 located on the movable plate 2 near the movable plate 5 are fixedly connected to the ends of gears 12. The two gears 12 mesh with each other and rotate on the movable plate 2 in its original position. The two gears 12 mesh with the movable plate 5. The movable plate 5 has a frame structure and the two sides of the inner frame of the movable plate 5 are toothed.

[0044] When the distance between the mating plate 3 and the movable plate 2 changes, the bottom support rod 9 rotates relative to each other, and the two gears 12 mesh with each other. On the one hand, this ensures that the rotation angle of the bottom support rod 9 is consistent, thereby ensuring that the mating plate 3 and the movable plate 2 always maintain a parallel distribution of the adjustment distance. On the other hand, the two gears 12 rotate relative to each other in opposite directions, driving the movable plate 5 to move smoothly, thereby adjusting the position of the bottom support plate 6. This ensures that the bottom support plate 6 is always located between the movable plate 2 and the mating plate 3, so that the bottom support plate 6 and the bottom support rod 9 always evenly support the experimental equipment, ensuring the stability of the experimental equipment.

[0045] The bottom of the base plate 6 is provided with a pressing sleeve 13 that presses against the storage box 1. The bottom support rod 9 is provided with a rotating groove 14 that is rotatably connected to the pressing sleeve 13. The bottom of the pressing sleeve 13 is made of rubber elastic material.

[0046] When the bottom support rod 9 rotates, the distance between the movable plate 2 and the mating plate 3 changes, without affecting the pressure sleeve 13. After the experimental equipment is placed, the control component makes the movable plate 2, the mating plate 3, and the pressure sleeve 13 synchronously press against the bottom of the storage box 1. The pressure sleeve 13 is always located between the movable plate 2 and the mating plate 3, thus ensuring that the pressure sleeve 13 is centered and holds the experimental equipment in place.

[0047] The experimental equipment is simultaneously supported by the automatically rotating base support rod 9.

[0048] The pressing component includes a sleeve plate 15 that is connected and fixed to the rotating rod 4. The sleeve plate 15 has an I-shaped groove 16, and the two I-shaped grooves 16 are arranged in opposite directions. An I-beam plate 17 is frictionally fitted on the I-shaped groove 16, and the I-beam plate 17 is flush with one side plane of the sleeve plate 15.

[0049] The experimental equipment is clamped by the sleeve plate 15 and the I-plate 17. The I-plate 17 can slide on the sleeve plate 15 to adjust the clamping area of ​​the experimental equipment, thereby making it suitable for a wide range of experimental equipment with different structures (different lengths and angles of the contact surface of the experimental equipment in contact with the pressing part), increasing the applicability of the device.

[0050] Among them, the I-beam plate 17 and the sleeve plate 15 are flush on one side to ensure that there is no misalignment between them, so as to ensure the contact area with the plane of the experimental equipment and ensure the fixing effect.

[0051] The two rotating rods 4 are rotatably connected by a torsion spring rod to ensure the stable clamping of the two sleeve plates 15 and the I-shaped plate, thus stabilizing the experimental equipment.

[0052] The inner wall of the storage box 1 is fixedly connected with a pressure column 18 that fits the experimental equipment. Together with two sleeve plates 15 and I-shaped plates, the experimental equipment is fixed. The pressure column 18 is semi-cylindrical in shape, and two limiting grooves 19 are opened on the inner side of the pressure column 18 to fit into the limiting plate 8.

[0053] The control component includes a connecting rod 20 that is fixedly connected to the movable plate 2. A connecting column 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the control rod 7. A connecting groove 22 with a T-shaped cross-section is opened on the top surface of the connecting rod 20. The connecting column 21 moves within the connecting groove 22. An elastic compression member 23 is hung between the connecting groove 22 and the connecting column 21.

[0054] Before placing the experimental equipment, lift the control lever 7, the connecting column 21 moves upward and presses against the connecting groove 22, so that the connecting rod 20 and the movable plate 2 move upward, thereby moving the movable plate 2, the mating plate 3 and the pressing sleeve 13 away from the bottom of the storage box 1. At this time, the position of the upward-moving limiting plate 8 corresponds to the position of the upper limiting groove 19.

[0055] Then the self-rotation control lever 7 causes the limiting plate 8 to rotate, thereby inserting the limiting plate 8 into the upper limiting groove 19;

[0056] Open the two pressure parts, place the experimental equipment, and adjust the adjustment part so that the pressure parts and the pressure column 18 press against the experimental equipment;

[0057] Finally, the control lever 7 rotates, causing the limiting plate 8 to disengage from the upper limiting groove 19. Then, the control lever 7 moves downward and rotates, causing the lower plate to insert into the lower limiting groove 19, thereby making the movable plate 2, the pressing sleeve 13, and the mating plate 3 tightly fit at the bottom of the first storage box.

[0058] The bottom end of the pressure column 18 presses against the movable plate 2, and the bottom end of the control rod 7 presses against the connecting rod 20. This facilitates the switching of the position of the limit plate 8 and the precise insertion of the limit plate 8 into the two limit slots 19. The control rod 7 moves downward and presses against the connecting rod 20, causing the movable plate 2 to press against the bottom of the storage box 1.

[0059] It is worth noting that the bottom of the storage box 1 is provided with an elastic rubber layer, which facilitates tight pressing with the movable plate 2, the pressure sleeve 13, and the mating plate 3.

[0060] The top of the control lever 7 presses against the door of the storage box 1. After the experimental equipment is fixed inside the storage box 1, the movable plate 2, the pressing sleeve 13, and the mating plate 3 press tightly against the bottom of the storage box 1 to ensure that different types of experimental equipment are securely fixed. Finally, the door is closed, and the door presses against and stabilizes the control lever 7 to further ensure the position of the control lever 7 and ensure the fixation effect of the experimental equipment.

[0061] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0062] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
