Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plant collection and storage, and more particularly to a portable field medicinal plant collection and storage box. Background Art

[0002] To accurately identify medicinal plant species, it is essential to collect and prepare herbarium specimens. Specimens are primary sources for plant identification and are essential skills and processes for teaching, scientific research, resource surveys, and academic exchange. They also serve as permanent reference materials. Therefore, collecting medicinal plant specimens is a crucial task. Plant specimens offer excellent storage properties, preserving the plant's shape and color for future observation and research. Some specimens are even valuable as collectibles.

[0003] However, commonly used medicinal plant specimen holders are relatively simple, typically consisting of two wooden plywood boards, absorbent paper, and string. They are unable to dry the plants, nor can they accurately label the basic information and storage location of the collected specimens. In light of this, the inventors have proposed a portable field medicinal plant collection and storage box. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a portable wild medicinal plant collection and storage box to solve the above problems.

[0005] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: a portable wild medicinal plant collection and storage box, including a box bottom and a box cover, both of which are provided with a cavity, the box bottom and the box cover are flexibly connected or hinged at the same end, the other ends of the box bottom and the box cover are symmetrically provided with locks, and the top of the box cover is provided with multiple acrylic identification boxes.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that a GPS is also provided on the top of the box cover.

[0007] The present invention is further configured to include: a first heating plate and a second heating plate, both of which are connected to a power supply, the first heating plate is located at the bottom of the cavity at the bottom of the box, and the top of the second heating plate is fixedly connected to a screw, the screw is threadedly connected to a connecting piece, and the connecting piece is rotatably connected to the box cover.

[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: the connecting piece includes a nut, the nut is threadedly connected to the screw, a circular ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the nut, and a limiting ring is provided at the bottom of the circular ring.

[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: a shoulder strap is provided at the bottom of the box bottom.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a handle is provided at one end of the box cover close to the lock.

[0011] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. It can be carried by hand or on the back through the handle and strap, which is convenient to carry;

[0013] 2. The plants can be preliminarily dried by the first heating plate and the second heating plate;

[0014] 3. GPS can accurately locate the collection site information. By recording the relevant information and placing it in order in the acrylic identification box, the basic information and storage location of the collected samples can be accurately marked. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example:

[0023] A portable wild medicinal plant collection and storage box, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the box comprises a bottom and a lid, each with a cavity. The bottom and lid are flexibly or hingedly connected at the same end, and symmetrically secured with latches at the other ends. The top of the lid is equipped with multiple acrylic identification boxes. In this embodiment, there are 56 acrylic identification boxes. Relevant information can be recorded by placing the boxes sequentially from left to right and from top to bottom, in the order in which the plants were collected, ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between the information and the medicinal plants.

[0024] In this embodiment, a GPS is also provided on the top of the box cover.

[0025] In this embodiment, it also includes a first heating plate and a second heating plate, both of which are connected to a power supply (not shown in the figure). The first heating plate is located at the bottom of the cavity at the bottom of the box, and the top of the second heating plate is fixedly connected to a screw, and the screw is threadedly connected to a connecting piece, and the connecting piece is rotatably connected to the box cover.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connecting member includes a nut, which is threadedly connected to the screw rod. A circular ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the nut, and a limiting ring is provided at the bottom of the circular ring.

[0027] In this embodiment, a shoulder strap is provided at the bottom of the box bottom.

[0028] In this embodiment, a handle is provided at one end of the box cover close to the lock.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] During use, place the medicinal plant on the first heating plate in the cavity at the bottom of the box, close it with a lock, rotate the nut on the connector, drive the thread and the second heating plate downward until the medicinal plant is pressed down, use the first heating plate and the second heating plate to perform preliminary drying of the plant, and the GPS can record the collection location information of the medicinal plant (latitude, longitude, altitude and slope). At the same time, the basic information of the collected plant can be written on paper in order and placed in the acrylic identification box in sequence. The recorded information is placed from left to right and from top to bottom to achieve a one-to-one correspondence between the information and the medicinal plant, avoiding information confusion. Specifically, first put a layer of absorbent paper on the bottom layer, collect the first medicinal plant and put it at the bottom, put the collection information of the first plant in the first acrylic identification box in the first row, and the second medicinal plant is stacked on the first medicinal plant. Each medicinal plant is separated by absorbent paper, and the collection information of the second plant is placed in the second acrylic identification box in the first row. And so on. A layer of absorbent paper is also covered on the top of the plant.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or substitute equivalents for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
