Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of outdoor supplies, in particular to a sampling toolbox. Background Art
[0002] At present, in the fields of molecular biology and plant physiology, plant materials are widely used. Most plant materials are planted in outdoor test fields, which makes the collection of plant specimens and outdoor experimental operations somewhat inconvenient. For sample collection, after sampling with a centrifuge tube, the sample needs to be placed in a low-temperature environment to maintain its biological activity. For such samples that need to maintain biological activity, reagents need to be added immediately after sampling for treatment.
[0003] The existing sampling toolboxes can only store centrifuge tubes. When adding reagents to the centrifuge tubes, the operator needs to hold the centrifuge tubes in the air with both hands and perform the operation of adding reagents. The hands are prone to shaking, resulting in easy spilling of the reagents and easy contamination of the samples, causing certain difficulties and inconveniences in outdoor sampling and subsequent processing. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a sampling toolbox to solve the problem that the function of the sampling toolbox in the prior art is relatively single and cannot assist personnel in subsequent specimen processing.
[0005] To achieve this purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: The utility model provides a sampling toolbox, including a box body and a placement member. The placement member is U-shaped. A placement hole is provided on the placement surface in the middle of the placement member. A centrifuge tube is inserted into the placement hole. First flanges are formed on the first side plates at both ends of the placement member. First overlapping parts and second overlapping parts are formed on both sides of the edge of the box body. A third overlapping part is erected in the middle of the box body. The first flanges overlap on the first overlapping part and the third overlapping part, or the first flanges overlap on the second overlapping part and the third overlapping part.
[0006] Preferably, four groups of silica gel sheets are installed circumferentially around each placement hole, and the silica gel sheets are in contact with the centrifuge tube.
[0007] Preferably, a bottom plate is further installed at the lower part of the placement member. The bottom plate is installed in parallel on the lower side of the placement surface.

[0018] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model, rather than limiting the present utility model. In addition, it should be noted that for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present utility model are shown in the drawings, rather than all the structures.
[0019] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected", "connected to", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.
[0020] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include the direct contact between the first and second features, or may include the situation where the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through other features therebetween. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over", and "on top of" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature being "below", "beneath", and "underneath" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.
[0021] In the description of this embodiment, the orientation or positional relationships such as "above", "below", "right", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplifying the operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meanings.
[0022] Under the prior art, the sampling box can only store centrifuge tubes. Since reagents need to be added to the centrifuge tubes during the process of outdoor specimen collection to process the specimens, and the sampling box cannot fix the centrifuge tubes, it is necessary for the operator to hold the reagent tube and the centrifuge tube by both hands for addition. This will cause the liquid in the reagent tube to flow out, contaminate the specimens, and increase the difficulty of outdoor specimen collection and processing.
[0023] To solve the above problems, as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a sampling toolbox, which includes a box body 1 and a placing member 2. The placing member 2 is U-shaped. A placing hole 22 is formed on the placing surface 21 in the middle of the placing member 2. A centrifuge tube is inserted into the placing hole 22. First flanges 24 are formed on the first side plates 23 at both ends of the placing member 2. First lapping parts 11 and second lapping parts 12 are formed on both sides of the edge of the box body 1. A third lapping part 13 is erected in the middle of the box body 1. The first flanges 24 are lapped on the first lapping part 11 and the third lapping part 13, or the first flanges 24 are lapped on the second lapping part 12 and the third lapping part 13.
[0024] By adding the placing member 2 to the box body 1 of the sampling toolbox, the placing member 2 can be lapped on one side of the first lapping part 11 or one side of the second lapping part 12. The placing member 2 is fixed by the flanges, so that the placing member 2 will not shake. When the centrifuge tube is inserted into the placing hole 22, the centrifuge tube can be fixed, and there is no need to hold the centrifuge tube by hand. By fixing the centrifuge tube, the operator can concentrate on adding reagents, reducing the probability of reagent spillage, facilitating the operator to quickly process the specimens, making the process of processing specimens in the field more convenient, and increasing the functionality of the sampling toolbox.
[0025] Four groups of silica gel sheets 3 are installed circumferentially around each placing hole 22 of the utility model. The silica gel sheets 3 are in contact with the centrifuge tube. The silica gel sheets 3 can squeeze the centrifuge tube to keep the centrifuge tube stable. At the same time, the silica gel sheets 3 can also increase the friction between the centrifuge tube and the silica gel sheets 3 themselves, making the centrifuge tube more stable.
[0026] A bottom plate is also installed at the lower part of the placing member 2. The bottom plate is installed in parallel under the placing surface 21. The gap between the bottom plate and the placing surface 21 is smaller than the height of the centrifuge tube. Both sides of the bottom plate are connected to the first side plate 23 through butt plates.
[0027] The placing member 2 of the utility model is double-layered. The upper layer is the placing surface 21, and the lower side is the bottom plate. The bottom plate can support the bottom of the centrifuge tube, so that the centrifuge tube can be steadily lifted. When the centrifuge tube is inserted and placed on the placing member 2, both the middle and the bottom of the centrifuge tube can be fixed, making the centrifuge tube more stable and reducing the probability of spillage of the contents in the centrifuge tube and the reagents.
[0028] The sampling toolbox also includes a storage member 4. The storage member 4 is U-shaped. A storage surface 41 is formed in the middle of the storage member 4. Second side plates 42 are formed on both sides of the storage surface 41. Second flanges 43 are formed at the edges of the second side plates 42. The second flanges 43 are lapped on the first lapping part 11 and the third lapping part 13, or the second flanges 43 are lapped on the second lapping part 12 and the third lapping part 13.
[0029] The height of the storage surface 41 is the same as that of the placement surface 21. When inserting the centrifuge tube into the placement hole 22, other reagents, pipettes, etc. are placed on the storage surface 41. The storage member 4 and the placement member 2 are respectively lapped on both sides inside the box body 1. When adding reagents, the placement member 2 can fix the centrifuge tube, and the storage member 4 can place necessary experimental equipment, making the process of processing specimens in the field more convenient. The placement member 2 and the storage member 4 can provide a simple operation table for outdoor sampling, facilitating operations such as tube cap marking, opening the lid, adding reagents, and closing the lid.
[0030] A temperature control cavity is formed between the lower side of the storage surface 41 and the inner wall of the box body 1. An ice pack or ice cubes can be placed in the temperature control cavity. Placing an ice pack or ice cubes in the space under the lower side of the storage surface 41 can cool the inside of the box body 1 and maintain the activity of organisms. Ice packs or ice cubes can also be placed in the space under the bottom plate.
[0031] A box cover 14 is rotatably installed on the upper side of the box body 1. The box cover 14 is connected to the upper sides of the first lapping portion 11 and the second lapping portion 12. An observation window 15 is provided on the box cover 14, and the observation window 15 is covered with glass.
[0032] Before closing the box cover 14, take out the centrifuge tube from the placement hole 22 and then place it on the storage surface 41 on the side where the observation window 15 is provided. Since the observation window 15 is covered with glass and the box cover 14 is connected to the box body 1, the inside of the box body 1 can be observed through the glass, and the samples inside can be observed in real time, enabling timely acquisition of the status of the specimens.
[0033] A mesh pocket 5 is installed on the side of the box body 1. The mesh pocket 5 is rectangular. The left side, right side, and lower side of the mesh pocket 5 are adhered with Velcro, and an elastic opening is formed on the upper side of the mesh pocket 5. Setting the elastic opening can facilitate the taking and storing of experimental items.
[0034] The mesh pocket 5 is adhered to the side of the box body 1 through Velcro. The mesh pocket 5 has a certain elasticity. The placement member 2 and the storage member 4 can both be stored in the mesh pocket 5, and other experimental items can also be placed. For example, gloves, pipettes, marker pens, etc. can all be placed in the detachable mesh pocket 5 on the side of the box body 1, improving the capacity of the sampling toolbox.
[0035] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention.
