Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial experiments, and in particular to a laboratory integrated box and a mobile laboratory. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the Industrial Internet and intelligent manufacturing, laboratories are playing an increasingly important role in industrial control system research, safety simulation testing, and process flow verification. Especially in applications involving the establishment of highly realistic process scenarios, laboratories need to simulate complex production environments and conduct comprehensive experiments on various raw materials, equipment, control systems, and sensors to support research on the Industrial Internet's intelligent perception, real-time control, and operational optimization capabilities.

[0003] Existing integrated laboratory cabinets typically adopt a fixed or dense layout, compactly installing multiple experimental modules inside the cabinet to improve space utilization. However, this design approach has many shortcomings: on the one hand, the spacing between experimental modules is too small, resulting in a limited field of view for experimental personnel during inspection and maintenance inside the cabinet, making it difficult to observe hidden areas such as the back of the module and the connection terminals, resulting in obvious blind spots. On the other hand, the crowded space between modules makes manual operation, debugging, and replacement of experimental modules extremely difficult, greatly increasing the maintenance workload and operational risks. In addition, existing integrated cabinet structures are mostly closed and can only be operated from inside the cabinet. The experimental mode is single and lacks flexibility. It is impossible to flexibly adjust the module layout or expand functions according to different experimental needs.

[0004] Especially when multi-module collaborative testing, safety drills or fault simulation analysis are required, the existing integrated box cannot quickly expose the complete interface and working status of each experimental module, which limits the experimental means and depth. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a laboratory integrated box and a mobile laboratory, which can quickly open the opening and closing panels, and make the originally densely arranged experimental modules appear in an arc-shaped opening state, exposing the blind spots of each experimental module. When the distance is widened, they will not affect each other's vision, which is convenient for maintenance and operation, and can effectively solve the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] The present invention is realized by the following technical solutions: a laboratory integrated box and a mobile laboratory, comprising:

[0007] An integrated box, wherein the interior of the integrated box forms a moving space, both sides of the integrated box form entry and exit ends, and both sides of the integrated box are provided with opening windows equidistantly along the length direction of the integrated box;

[0008] An opening and closing plate is hingedly provided on the integrated box at each opening window position, and a protruding installation box is provided on a side of the opening and closing plate away from the hinged end. The installation box is provided on the circumferential rotation path of the opening and closing plate. When the opening and closing plate is closed relative to the integrated box, the installation box extends into the interior of the integrated box through the opening window;

[0009] Each mounting box forms a mounting surface relative to one side of the integrated box, an elastic mounting membrane is mounted on the mounting surface, and one or more experimental modules are fixedly mounted on the elastic mounting membrane. A pulling drive mechanism is provided in the opening and closing plate. When the opening and closing plate is opened relative to the integrated box, the pulling drive mechanism controls the elastic mounting membrane to assume an arc-shaped state, and the experimental modules located on the elastic mounting membrane are in an arc-shaped expanded state.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the pulling drive mechanism includes a driving block, which is located in the mounting box and is arranged facing the elastic mounting membrane. A driving cavity is formed in the opening and closing plate, and a driving plate is arranged in the driving cavity. A driving extrusion block is provided on the driving plate at a position corresponding to the driving block, and the driving block is squeezed by the driving extrusion block to push the elastic mounting membrane.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the driving block is provided with a first inclined extrusion surface on the side facing the driving extrusion block, and the driving extrusion block is provided with a second inclined extrusion surface at the position facing the first inclined extrusion surface, and the first inclined extrusion surface is in extrusion contact with the second inclined extrusion surface.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the side of the driving block facing the elastic mounting membrane is an arc-shaped convex surface.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, a support spring is provided in the driving cavity on one side of the driving plate. When the driving plate is pulled, the support spring is squeezed by the driving plate.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, a pulling wire is provided on the driving plate on one side of the supporting spring. The pulling wire passes through the wire hole on the opening and closing plate and is fixedly connected to the outside of the integrated box.

[0015] As an optimal technical solution, two upper and lower hinged plates are provided at one end of the hinged connection between the opening and closing plate and the integrated box body. The opening and closing plate and the intersection plate are hinged through a rotating shaft. A driving gear is provided at the top position of the rotating shaft, and the driving gear is driven to perform reciprocating motion through a rack drive mechanism.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the rack drive mechanism includes two drive racks arranged on the top of the integrated box, and a connecting plate is provided at one end of the two drive racks. A drive cylinder is installed on the integrated box at one end of the connecting plate, and the output end of the drive cylinder is highly connected to the connecting plate. The drive racks are all engaged with the drive gears on the corresponding sides.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, a guide limit plate is provided on the top of the integrated box on one side of the driving rack, and the driving rack is slidably installed in the guide groove on one side of the guide limit plate.

[0018] A mobile laboratory of the present invention comprises a plurality of integrated boxes, and a movable roller is arranged at the bottom of each integrated box.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] First, the experimental modules can be deployed in an arc shape by quickly opening the opening and closing panels, which not only improves the visual range but also appropriately increases the distance between modules, avoiding mutual obstruction or interference with vision.

[0021] Secondly, laboratory personnel can operate and perform maintenance directly outside the integrated box, without being confined to the narrow environment inside the box, which greatly improves the convenience and safety of operation.

[0022] Finally, by adjusting the opening angle of the opening and closing panel, the expansion angle between adjacent experimental modules can be flexibly controlled, thereby obtaining different maintenance perspectives, meeting various experimental operations and maintenance needs, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of laboratory scenarios.

[0030] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in the disclosed methods or processes, except mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.

[0031] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract and drawings), unless otherwise stated, may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features. That is, unless otherwise stated, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides an integrated laboratory box and mobile laboratory, comprising an integrated box body 2, the interior of which forms a mobile space for facilitating the installation and placement of various experimental devices and equipment. Entry and exit ports 1 are provided on both sides of the integrated box body 2, facilitating the entry and exit of personnel and materials, as well as the handling and arrangement of the entire equipment. Multiple opening windows 13 are equidistantly provided on both sides of the integrated box body 2 along its length, each opening window 13 being used to mount a corresponding opening and closing panel 7 assembly, enabling modular management and operation.

[0033] The opening and closing panel 7 is hinged at a position corresponding to each opening window 13, allowing it to rotate relative to the integrated cabinet 2. To achieve functional integration, a protruding mounting box 8 is fixedly mounted on the side of the opening and closing panel 7 away from the hinged end. The mounting box 8 is arranged along the circumferential rotation path of the opening and closing panel 7. When the opening and closing panel 7 is closed, the mounting box 8 can pass through the opening window 13 and partially extend into the interior of the integrated cabinet 2, thereby making the internal space layout more compact and protecting the experimental modules 12 installed therein.

[0034] Each mounting box 8 forms a mounting surface on the side facing the integrated box 2, on which an elastic mounting membrane 10 is mounted. The elastic mounting membrane 10 serves as a mounting base and can accommodate the fixed installation requirements of experimental modules 12 of varying dimensions and weights. More than one experimental module 12 can be fixedly mounted on each elastic mounting membrane 10. To enhance the flexibility of module deployment, a pulling drive mechanism is provided within the opening and closing plate 7. When the opening and closing plate 7 is opened, the pulling drive mechanism drives the elastic mounting membrane 10 to deform, causing it to assume an arc-shaped state. The experimental modules 12 mounted on the elastic mounting membrane 10 then assume an arc-shaped deployed posture, effectively expanding the maintenance field of view and operating space.

[0035] Each set of pulling drive mechanism includes a driving block 17, which is installed inside the mounting box 8 and is arranged toward the elastic mounting membrane 10, so as to directly apply thrust to the elastic mounting membrane 10 to form bending deformation. A driving cavity 18 is formed inside the opening and closing plate 7 for accommodating driving structural elements. A driving plate 21 is installed inside the driving cavity 18, and a driving extrusion block 16 is provided on the driving plate 21 at a position corresponding to the driving block 17. When the driving plate 21 is pulled, the driving extrusion block 16 moves in a predetermined direction and squeezes the driving block 17, causing the driving block 17 to push the elastic mounting membrane 10 outward, thereby causing the mounting membrane to bend into an arc.

[0036] In order to improve the extrusion efficiency and the stability of force transmission, the driving block 17 forms a first inclined extrusion surface on the side facing the driving extrusion block 16, and the driving extrusion block 16 forms a second inclined extrusion surface on the side facing the driving block 17. The two inclined extrusion surfaces contact and cooperate with each other, and can adaptively align when subjected to force, ensuring effective transmission of the driving force and avoiding the problem of unstable extrusion due to position offset.

[0037] The side of the driving block 17 facing the elastic mounting membrane 10 is designed as an arc-shaped convex surface 20 structure, so that the thrust can be evenly distributed when pushing the elastic mounting membrane 10, further ensuring the continuity and smoothness of the bending deformation of the elastic mounting membrane 10, and avoiding local stress concentration leading to membrane damage or module dislocation.

[0038] Inside the drive chamber 18, a support spring 19 is installed on one side of the drive plate 21. This spring is used to provide a rebound force when the drive plate 21 is pulled, maintaining the stability of the drive mechanism. Specifically, when the drive plate 21 is pulled outward, the drive plate 21 compresses the support spring 19. When released, the support spring 19 returns the plate to its original position, ensuring reliable cycling of the system.

[0039] The side of the drive plate 21 facing the support spring 19 is connected to a pulling wire 11, which passes through the wire hole reserved on the opening and closing plate 7 and is connected to the fixed structure outside the integrated box 2. When the opening and closing plate 7 is opened, the pulling wire 11 pulls the drive plate 21, causing squeezing between the drive extrusion block 16 and the drive block 17, and then the drive extrusion block 16 is used to push out the drive block 17, and the drive block 17 is used to push out the elastic mounting membrane 10. Since one side of the drive block 17 is an arc-shaped convex surface 20, after the elastic mounting membrane 10 is pushed out, the entire elastic mounting membrane 10 also has an arc-shaped convex surface 20. The experimental modules 12 installed on the elastic mounting membrane 10 will also be arranged in an arc shape. There is no obstruction between adjacent experimental modules 12, and there is no blind spot in the field of vision, which is convenient for maintenance. Therefore, if the present invention needs to be repaired, it only needs to control the opening and closing plate 7 relative to the integrated box 2. The curvature of the elastic mounting membrane 10 depends on the angle between the opening and closing plate 7 and the integrated box 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the elastic mounting membrane 10 can be made of one or more of silicone rubber, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), nitrile rubber (NBR), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), high elastic fiber composite film or modified PET film to meet the requirements of good flexibility, fatigue resistance, support and environmental adaptability.

[0041] In order to achieve reliable hinge connection between the opening and closing plate 7 and the integrated box 2, two upper and lower hinge plates 15 are provided at one hinged end of the opening and closing plate 7, which are respectively installed on the structure of the integrated box 2. The opening and closing plate 7 is hingedly connected to the hinge plate 15 through a rotating shaft.

[0042] A driving gear 5 is provided at the top of the rotating shaft, and the opening or closing of the opening and closing plate 7 is realized by rotating in conjunction with the driving gear 5. The driving gear 5 is driven by a rack drive mechanism, thereby realizing the precise reciprocating motion of the opening and closing plate 7 in the opening and closing direction.

[0043] The rack drive mechanism includes two drive racks 9 arranged on the top of the integrated box 2 , and one end of the two drive racks 9 is connected to the connecting plate 3 .

[0044] A drive cylinder 6 is mounted on the connecting plate 3. Its output terminal is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 3 at a height, providing the push-pull power source. When the drive cylinder 6 is activated, it moves the connecting plate 3 and the drive rack 9 as a whole. The rack meshes with the corresponding drive gear 5, causing the gear to rotate, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the opening and closing plate 7.

[0045] In order to further improve the stability and guiding accuracy of the driving rack 9, a guiding limit plate 4 is provided on one side of the top of the integrated box 2 close to the driving rack 9.

[0046] The driving rack 9 is slidably installed in the guide groove on one side of the guide limit plate 4. During the movement of the rack, the guide groove can limit its movement trajectory, avoid the rack from being offset, twisted and other problems, and ensure that the opening and closing plate 7 moves smoothly and reliably.

[0047] The mobile laboratory of the present invention also includes multiple integrated boxes 2 of the above-described structure. By combining multiple integrated boxes 2, experimental scenarios of varying scales and layouts can be flexibly constructed according to actual experimental needs. Each integrated box 2 is equipped with movable rollers 14 at the bottom, facilitating the rapid deployment and movement of the entire laboratory module between different locations, thereby enhancing operational flexibility and on-site adaptability.

[0048] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection defined in the claims.
