[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the technical solution of the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the fossil box provided by the present application includes a box body. The box body has a first accommodating cavity S1 and a second accommodating cavity S2. The box body can be opened and closed. In the open state, the fossil 01 can be placed in the first accommodating cavity S1. In the closed state, the first accommodating cavity S1 is sealed, thereby providing a closed storage space for the fossil to avoid the adverse effects of moisture and dust on the fossil.

[0036] Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the box body comprises a box body 100, a box cover 200 and a panel 300. The box body 100 comprises a box body bottom wall 101, a box body side wall 102 arranged around the box body bottom wall 101 and a box body opening opposite to the box body bottom wall 101. The box cover 200 comprises a box cover bottom wall 201, a box cover side wall 202 arranged around the box cover bottom wall 201 and a box cover opening opposite to the box cover bottom wall 201. The panel 300 is fixedly connected to the box cover 200, the panel 300 covers the box cover opening, and the panel 300 and the box cover 200 are enclosed together to form a second accommodating chamber S2. When the box body is closed, the bottom wall 201 of the box cover covers the box body opening, and the bottom wall 201 of the box cover and the box body 100 are enclosed together to form a first accommodating chamber S1. The box cover 200 is fixedly connected to the box body 100, and a sealing ring 1100 is provided between the bottom wall 201 of the box cover and the side wall 102 of the box body. The sealing ring 1100 ensures the airtightness of the first accommodating chamber S1. The fixed connection mode of the box cover 200 and the box body 100 is a detachable fixed connection mode to ensure that the box body can be opened. In the figure, the fixed connection mode of the box cover 200 and the box body 100 is: the outer side of the box cover side wall 202 is provided with a hinge seat 203, the hinge seat 203 is hinged with a locking ring 204, and the outer side of the box body side wall 102 is provided with a lug 103 for clamping with the locking ring 204. When the box body is closed, the locking ring 204 is clamped on the lug 103 to fix the relative position of the box cover 200 and the box body 100. When the box body needs to be opened, the lock ring 204 and the lug 103 are separated, and then the box cover 200 is removed from the box body 100. This fixed connection method is reliable and convenient to open and close. Of course, the box body 100 and the box cover 200 can also adopt other detachable fixed connection methods, such as bolts and nuts.

[0037] like Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, the fossil box also includes a plurality of partitions. The partitions are detachably installed in the first accommodating chamber S1, and the first accommodating chamber S1 is divided into a plurality of small chambers. When in use, the fossils are placed in the small chambers. With this design, the number and position of the partitions can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the fossils, so that the size of the small chamber containing the fossils is adapted to the size of the fossils. For example, Figure 4 The number and position of the partitions in Figure 5 The number and position of the partitions in the Figure 4 The small chamber size and Figure 5 The small chambers in the chamber are of different sizes, which can solve the problem of difficult positioning of fossils due to the large size difference between fossils and small chambers.

[0038] Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a slot for positioning the partition is provided on the side wall 102 of the box body, and the partition is inserted into the slot to achieve positioning.

[0039] Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the partition includes a transverse partition 901 and a longitudinal partition 902 , and the transverse partition 901 and the longitudinal partition 902 are arranged approximately vertically and are both approximately perpendicular to the bottom wall 101 of the box body.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fossil box also includes a foam filling device 400, which is located in the second accommodating chamber S2, and the foam filling device 400 is connected to the first accommodating chamber S1 to fill the first accommodating chamber S1 with foam. The filling foam can expand rapidly and achieve preliminary solidification in a short time. The filling foam has the functions of sealing, heat insulation, buffering and vibration reduction. Common filling foams include polyurethane foam, single-component foam, two-component foam, etc. A hole D is provided on the partition so that the filled foam can pass through the hole D on the partition from the small chamber on one side of the partition to the small chamber on the other side of the partition. The filling foam fills the gap between the fossil and the cavity wall of the small chamber to ensure that the fossil will not shake in the chamber during transportation. In addition, the filling foam tightly wraps the fossil, plays a sealing and protective role and a buffering and vibration reduction role for the fossil, so that the fossil is not easily affected by moisture, dust, ambient temperature, etc. and is not easily damaged when subjected to external impact. In addition, the weight of the foam is very light, and the total weight of the fossil box will not be excessively increased, making the fossil box light and easy to carry.

[0041] Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the foam filling device 400 includes an aerosol can 401 and a valve 402, and the aerosol can 401 is used to store a foaming agent. The valve inlet A of the valve 402 is connected to the aerosol can 401, and the valve outlet B of the valve 402 is connected to the first accommodating chamber S1, and the valve 402 is used to control the foam flow. In the figure, the valve inlet A of the valve 402 is connected to the aerosol can 401 through a connecting pipe 406, and the valve outlet B of the valve 402 is connected to the first accommodating chamber S1 through a foam filling pipe 500. Specifically, one end of the foam filling pipe 500 is connected to the valve outlet B of the valve 402, and the other end of the foam filling pipe 500 passes through the through hole on the bottom wall 201 of the box cover and extends into the first accommodating chamber S1. A button 1000 for controlling the opening of the valve 402 is provided on the panel 300.

[0042] More specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the valve 402 includes a valve stem 4021, a spring 4023 and a valve sleeve 4022. The valve stem 4021 is inserted into the inner cavity of the valve sleeve 4022. The side wall of the valve sleeve 4022 is provided with a valve inlet A and a valve outlet B. The outer periphery of the valve stem 4021 is provided with an annular groove C. One axial end of the valve stem 4021 is connected to the button 1000. Pressing the button 1000 can cause the valve stem 4021 to axially move relative to the valve sleeve 4022 to a position to open the valve 402 (such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1 ), when the valve 402 is open, the annular groove C of the valve stem 4021 overlaps the valve inlet A and the valve outlet B in the axial direction. The larger the overlapping area, the greater the opening of the valve 402. Figure 7 In the middle, valve 402 is in a small opening state, which is suitable for small amount filling and fine adjustment. Figure 8 The middle valve 402 is in a wide open state, suitable for large-volume filling and rapid filling. The spring 4023 is located in the inner cavity of the valve sleeve 4022 and abuts against the other axial end of the valve stem 4021. After releasing the button 1000, the valve stem 4021 can be reset to a position (such as the position of closing the valve 402) under the elastic force of the spring 4023. Figure 6 As shown), at this time, the annular groove C and the valve inlet A and the valve outlet B are offset from each other in the axial direction.

[0043] More specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a threaded hole is provided on the bottom wall 201 of the box cover, a fixing seat 403 is provided on one end of the valve sleeve 4022 close to the bottom wall 201 of the box cover, and the fixing seat 403 is fixed to the corresponding threaded hole by a screw 405, and a fixing frame 404 is provided on one side of the aerosol can 401 close to the bottom wall 201 of the box cover, and the fixing frame 404 is fixed to the corresponding threaded hole by a screw 405.

[0044] Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the fossil box includes an intelligent control component 600, and the intelligent control component 600 includes a circuit board 601 and a monitoring unit. The circuit board 601 is communicatively connected to the monitoring unit to feed back the monitoring results of the monitoring unit to the user. The monitoring unit includes an air pressure monitoring element 602 for monitoring the air pressure in the aerosol tank 401, so that the user can timely monitor the pressure abnormality of the foaming agent in the aerosol tank 401, so as to timely troubleshoot. In the figure, the circuit board 601 is communicatively connected to the air pressure monitoring element 602 via a signal line 604. As an alternative, the communication connection method between the circuit board 601 and the monitoring unit can also be a wireless connection.

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 3As shown, the monitoring unit may also include a sensing element 603, and the sensing element 603 includes one or more of a position sensor for monitoring the position of the foam in the first accommodating chamber S1, a temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature in the first accommodating chamber S1, a humidity sensor for monitoring the humidity in the first accommodating chamber S1, and a pressure sensor for monitoring the pressure in the first accommodating chamber S1. By monitoring the position of the foam in the first accommodating chamber S1, the user can timely know the foam filling condition in the first accommodating chamber S1, and avoid the situation where the fossil is squeezed due to excessive foam filling or the fossil position is unstable due to insufficient foam filling. By monitoring the temperature and / or humidity and / or pressure in the first accommodating chamber S1, the user can timely know the abnormal conditions of the fossil box, for example, the box body is accidentally opened and the sealing of the first accommodating chamber S1 fails. By monitoring the pressure in the first accommodating chamber S1, the user can also timely know the solidification condition of the foam in the first accommodating chamber S1.

[0046] Specifically, the circuit board 601 may include a wireless communication module, which is connected to a user's terminal device (eg, a mobile phone, a computer, etc.) for communication so as to feed back the monitoring result of the monitoring unit to the user's terminal device.

[0047] Specifically, the intelligent control component 600 may include a display screen, which is disposed on the panel 300 , and the circuit board 601 is communicatively connected with the display screen to display the monitoring result of the monitoring unit on the display screen.

[0048] Specifically, an electronic tag or a QR code recording fossil information may be provided on the surface of the box body, so that the user can know the information of the fossils stored in the box body and quickly find the corresponding fossils by scanning the electronic tag or the QR code.

[0049] Specifically, the box body is preferably made of a material that is resistant to high temperatures, low temperatures, and corrosion, so that it can be used for a long time in extreme outdoor environments.

[0050] Specifically, a handle 700 and / or a shoulder strap 800 may be fixedly connected to the box body for easy carrying.

[0051] Specifically, the box body can be designed into a rectangular structure to facilitate stacking, and can be designed into a standard size series to facilitate the flow of fossils between different research institutions.

[0052] The method for using the fossil box provided in this application comprises the following steps:

[0053] Place the fossil box horizontally, open the fossil box, and adjust the number and position of the partitions according to the size and shape of the fossils to obtain a small chamber of appropriate size. Horizontal placement can avoid the situation where the foam is unevenly filled due to tilting. Before adjusting the position of the partitions, you can first determine whether the status of the fossil box is normal based on the monitoring data of the monitoring unit. If it is normal, put it into use.

[0054] The fossil covered with the film is placed in a small chamber of suitable size. The film is used to prevent the fossil from directly contacting the foam. Specifically, the film can be a film that is not easy to react chemically, such as a polyvinyl chloride film.

[0055] Close the fossil box, open the foam filling device 400, fill the small chamber containing the fossil with foam, and move the fossil box after the foam is initially solidified (usually about 2-3 minutes). During this period, the closing time of the foam filling device 400 can be determined according to the foam position fed back by the position sensor, and the solidification status of the foam in the first accommodating chamber S1 can be determined according to the pressure information fed back by the pressure sensor.

[0056] When the fossil needs to be taken out of the fossil box, open the fossil box, dissolve the foam with a foam dissolving agent (such as alcohol), and then take out the fossil.

[0057] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
