Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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, 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.

[0033] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 This invention describes a sample storage device for laboratory use that is easy to manage.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a manageable sample storage device for a laboratory includes a storage box 100, multiple covers, positioning rods 200, multiple pairs of mounting rings 400, and multiple sets of sleeve fittings 500. The top of the storage box 100 is an open structure, and one end of the storage box 100 is provided with an installation port 110. The multiple covers are staggered within the open structure at the top of the storage box 100, and the multiple covers can be stacked on top of each other, thereby exposing or covering the top of the storage box 100. The top is covered; the positioning rod 200 is set inside the storage box 100 along the opening direction of the mounting port 110; multiple pairs of mounting rings 400 are sequentially sleeved on the positioning rod 200, the mounting rings 400 can move along the length direction of the positioning rod 200, and the mounting rings 400 can rotate around the positioning rod 200; multiple sets of sleeves 500 are respectively set on the outer ring of multiple pairs of positioning rods, and the two sides of the sleeves 500 are rotatably connected to the two mounting rings 400 of the same pair, and the sleeves are used to insert test tubes.

[0035] The aforementioned easily managed sample storage device for laboratory use features an open top structure in the storage box 100, complemented by staggered covers. The overlapping covers allow for either exposure or concealment of the top. A positioning rod 200 provides a mounting base for the mounting ring 400, which can move and rotate along the positioning rod 200, synchronously adjusting the position of the outer sleeve 500. Test tubes can be directly inserted into the sleeve 500 for storage. Furthermore, pushing the mounting ring 400 adjusts its position within the storage box 100, and turning it allows for easy repositioning and placement. This design achieves centralized storage and flexible retrieval of sample tubes. The movement and rotation of the mounting ring 400 quickly locates the target sample, and the cover design protects the samples from external contamination. The overall structure simplifies sample management processes and enhances operational convenience.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, two through slots 120 are respectively opened on both sides of the storage box 100. The through slots 120 are arranged along the length direction of the storage box 100. One end of the storage box 100 with an installation port 110 is used to insert the installation ring 400 and the test tube.

[0037] Specifically, the through slots 120 on both sides of the storage box 100 provide guidance for the movement of the cover plate, and the mounting port 110 serves as a channel for inserting the mounting ring 400 and test tubes, allowing for component assembly and sample placement without disassembling the overall structure. This design simplifies the loading and unloading process of the mounting ring 400 and test tubes, while the through slots 120 ensure smooth movement of the cover plate, preventing jamming and improving the assembly and usage efficiency of the device.

[0038] In one embodiment, the positioning rod 200 includes a first positioning rod 210 and a reinforcing plate 220; one end of the first positioning rod 210 passes through the end of the storage box 100 where the installation port 110 is not opened, and a plurality of reinforcing plates 220 are arranged in a ring array on the first positioning rod 210, and one end of the reinforcing plate 220 abuts against the inner surface of the storage box 100.

[0039] Specifically, the first positioning rod 210 penetrates one end of the storage box 100 to form a core support, and one end of the ring-shaped array of reinforcing plates 220 abuts against the inner surface of the storage box 100, dispersing the pressure borne by the positioning rod 200 and enhancing structural stability. This design improves the load-bearing capacity of the positioning rod 200 and the overall structural robustness, avoiding deformation due to stress during long-term use and extending the service life of the device.

[0040] In one embodiment, the cover plate includes a first cover plate 310 and a second cover plate 320; the two ends of the first cover plate 310 are movably inserted into the through groove 120 from the inside of the storage box 100, and the two ends of the second cover plate 320 are movably inserted into the through groove 120 from the outside of the storage box 100. The first cover plate 310 and the second cover plate 320 can move along the length direction of the through groove 120.

[0041] Specifically, the first cover plate 310 is inserted into the through groove 120 from the inside of the storage box 100, and the second cover plate 320 is inserted from the outside. The two cover plates move along the length of the through groove 120 to overlap or unfold each other, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the top of the storage box 100. This design allows for flexible cover plate movement, does not occupy extra space during opening and closing, and the double cover plate design improves the sealing and protection effect while facilitating adjustment of the top exposure area according to operational needs.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first cover plate 310 includes a first bent plate 311 and a first folded plate 312; the outer surface of the first bent plate 311 and the end face of the storage box 100 without the installation opening 110 are located on the same curved surface; the two first folded plates 312 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first bent plate 311; the surface of the first folded plate 312 is attached to the inner surface of the storage box 100; one end of the first folded plate 312 is inserted into the through groove 120; and the other end is attached to the side end face of the storage box 100.

[0043] Specifically, the first curved plate 311 forms a fitting curved surface with the end face of the storage box 100, and the first folded plate 312 fits against the inner surface of the storage box 100 and is inserted into the through groove 120, which not only achieves stable installation of the cover plate, but also ensures the fit when the cover plate moves. This design improves the compatibility and sealing of the first cover plate 310 with the storage box 100, reduces the entry of external dust and impurities, and enhances the structural strength of the cover plate to prevent deformation during use.

[0044] In one embodiment, the second cover plate 320 includes a second bent plate 321 and a second folded plate 322; the outer surface of the second bent plate 321 and the end face of the storage box 100 without the installation opening 110 are located on the same curved surface; the two second folded plates 322 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second bent plate 321; the surface of the second folded plate 322 is attached to the inner surface of the storage box 100; one end of the second folded plate 322 is inserted into the through groove 120; and the other end is attached to the side end face of the storage box 100.

[0045] Specifically, the second curved plate 321 maintains the same curvature as the end face of the storage box 100, and the second folded plate 322 fits against the inner surface of the storage box 100 and is inserted into the through groove 120, forming an interlocking fit with the first cover plate 310 to jointly achieve the covering and exposure of the top. This design works in conjunction with the first cover plate 310 to further improve the sealing effect of the top of the storage box 100. The structural design of the second cover plate 320 makes it stable in installation and smooth in movement, ensuring the continuity of overall operation.

[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting ring 400 includes a first mounting ring 410, a second mounting ring 420, a connecting rod 430, and a second positioning rod 440. The first mounting ring 410 is movably sleeved on the first positioning rod 210, and the second mounting ring 420 is sleeved on the outer ring of the first mounting ring 410. The first mounting ring 410 and the second mounting ring 420 are connected by a plurality of connecting rods 430. One end of the second positioning rod 440 passes through the second mounting ring 420 and is fixed by a nut 450. The other end of the second positioning rod 440 is bent and faces the sleeve 500.

[0047] Specifically, the first mounting ring 410 is sleeved on the first positioning rod 210 to achieve a movable connection. The second mounting ring 420, fixed by the connecting rod 430, forms the outer ring mounting structure. The second positioning rod 440 is fixed on the second mounting ring 420 by the nut 450, and its bent end is aligned with the sleeve fitting 500 for positioning. This design achieves stable installation and positioning of the sleeve fitting 500. The adjustable fixing method of the second positioning rod 440 adapts to different specifications of sleeve fittings 500, enhancing the versatility of the lifting device.

[0048] In one embodiment, the second positioning rod 440 has a mounting hole 441 at one end facing the sleeve fitting 500, and a screw 460 is installed in the mounting hole 441. The outer ring of the end of the screw 460 facing the sleeve fitting 500 is set as a smooth curved surface.

[0049] Specifically, the mounting hole 441 on the second positioning rod 440 is used to fix the screw 460. The end of the screw 460 facing the sleeve 500 has a smooth curved surface design, which reduces friction with the sleeve 500 while positioning it. This design enhances the stability of the sleeve 500 after installation, preventing shaking. The smooth curved surface design protects the surface of the sleeve 500 from wear, while also facilitating the disassembly and adjustment of the sleeve 500.

[0050] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment, the sleeve 500 includes a first sleeve 510 and a second sleeve 520; the bottom end of the first sleeve 510 is connected to the top end of the second sleeve 520, the inner diameter of the first sleeve 510 is larger than the inner diameter of the second sleeve 520, a positioning groove 530 is provided at the connection between the outer rings of the first sleeve 510 and the second sleeve 520, and the smooth end of the screw 460 is movably inserted into the positioning groove 530.

[0051] Specifically, the first sleeve 510 and the second sleeve 520 are connected to form a stepped structure. The positioning groove 530 and the smooth end of the screw 460 are inserted into each other to achieve precise positioning of the sleeve 500 and the mounting ring 400. The stepped inner ring structure makes the placement and removal of the test tube easier and more convenient. This design improves the stability of the test tube after insertion, preventing the test tube from shaking or tipping over. The positioning groove 530 design ensures accurate installation of the sleeve 500 and convenient disassembly.

[0052] In one embodiment, the top end of the first sleeve 510 is provided with a plurality of first grooves 511, which are arranged in a ring array. The inner ring of the second sleeve 520 is provided with a plurality of second grooves 521, which are arranged in a ring array.

[0053] Specifically, the annular array of first grooves 511 at the top of the first sleeve 510 and the annular array of second grooves 521 on the inner ring of the second sleeve 520 increase the friction between the test tube and the inner wall of the sleeve 500, while also providing guidance for the insertion of the test tube. This design further enhances the stability of the test tube, preventing it from sliding within the sleeve 500. The groove design does not affect the normal insertion and removal of the test tube, while improving the smoothness of insertion and reducing jamming.

[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
