Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of soil detection, for example, to a sample storage device for soil detection. Background Art
[0002] Currently, soil sample storage refers to the process of maintaining the usability of soil samples under specified time intervals and predetermined conditions from the time the soil samples are collected until further processing. The most basic requirement for soil sample storage is that the soil properties should not change significantly during the storage period. For freshly collected soil samples, especially those related to microbial activity, redox conditions, volatile substances, etc., they need to be sealed during storage, otherwise the soil properties will change significantly. Related technology (publication number: CN220077090U) discloses a soil sample storage device for soil testing, including a cylinder. Connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the cylinder, and an opening is provided on one side of the connecting block. A connecting plate is provided at the top of the cylinder, and a clamping block is fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the connecting plate, and the clamping block is adapted to the opening. A screw is threadedly connected to the middle of the connecting plate, a rotating block is fixedly connected to the top of the screw, and a pressure plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the screw, and the pressure plate is adapted to the cylinder.
[0003] In the process of implementing the above embodiments, it was found that there are at least the following problems in the related art:
[0004] The coordination of the connecting block, connecting plate, screw, rotating block, clamping block, pressing plate, and opening allows the pressing plate to be positioned according to the volume of the soil inside the cylinder. This reduces the free space for the soil sample to move, preserving its original state. However, during transportation, the stored soil is subjected to turbulence, and the gaps between soil particles gradually decrease. This reduces the volume of the soil, creating a gap between the pressing plate and the soil sample, making it impossible for the pressing plate to maintain its tight grip on the soil sample.
[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. The summary is not an extensive review, nor is it intended to identify key / critical elements or delineate the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather serves as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.
[0007] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a sample storage device for soil testing, so that the position of a pressing plate can be changed according to the volume of the soil.
[0008] In some embodiments, a sample preservation device for soil testing includes: a barrel, which includes a accommodating cavity; a barrel cover, detachably mounted on the barrel, for opening or closing the accommodating cavity; a nut, fixed at the center of the barrel cover; a screw, threadedly connected to the nut and movably passed through the barrel cover; a circular plate, rotatably mounted on one end of the screw, and can be accommodated in the accommodating cavity; a pressure plate, located below the circular plate along the height direction of the barrel; a spring, mounted between the opposite surfaces of the circular plate and the pressure plate; a handwheel, mounted on the other end of the screw for holding; wherein, when the barrel cover closes the accommodating cavity, the annular side surface of the pressure plate fits against the annular inner wall of the barrel.
[0009] Optionally, the barrel includes an external thread; the barrel cover includes an internal thread, and the internal thread matches the external thread; wherein the barrel cover is detachably mounted on the barrel via the internal thread and the external thread.
[0010] Optionally, it further includes: a deep groove ball bearing installed between the screw and the circular plate; wherein the inner ring of the deep groove ball bearing abuts against the screw, and the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing abuts against the circular plate.
[0011] Optionally, it further includes: a first elastic retaining ring, which is clamped on the screw and located on both sides of the screw along the axial direction of the screw; wherein the deep groove ball bearing is located between the first elastic retaining rings on both sides.
[0012] Optionally, it further includes: a second elastic retaining ring, which is clamped on the circular plate and located on both sides of the circular plate along the thickness direction of the circular plate; wherein the deep groove ball bearing is located between the second elastic retaining rings on both sides.
[0013] Optionally, it further includes: a linear optical axis, which is slidably arranged on the circular plate and connected to the pressure plate; wherein the spring is sleeved on the linear optical axis.
[0014] Optionally, it further includes: a linear bearing, which is sleeved on the linear optical axis and installed on the circular plate.
[0015] Optionally, it further includes: a limiting ring installed on the linear optical axis; wherein, along the axial direction of the linear optical axis, the circular plate and the linear bearing are located between the spring and the limiting ring.
[0016] Optionally, it further includes: a handle connected to the outer wall of the barrel cover for holding.
[0017] The soil testing sample storage device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:
[0018] The present disclosure provides a sample storage device for soil testing, comprising a barrel, a barrel lid, a nut, a screw, a circular plate, a pressure plate, a spring, and a handwheel. The barrel includes a receiving chamber for storing soil samples. The barrel lid is removably mounted to the barrel for opening and closing the receiving chamber. A nut is fixed at the center of the barrel lid to support the mounting screw. The screw is threadedly connected to the nut and movably extends through the barrel lid to convert rotational motion into linear motion. The circular plate is rotatably mounted to one end of the screw and accommodated in the receiving chamber, enabling rotational motion relative to the screw. A pressure plate is located below the circular plate along the height of the barrel to compress the soil sample. A spring is mounted between the opposing surfaces of the circular plate and the pressure plate to provide elastic force. A handwheel is mounted on the other end of the screw for gripping, enabling manual rotation of the screw. When the barrel lid closes the receiving chamber, the annular side surface of the pressure plate abuts against the annular inner wall of the barrel to prevent the soil sample from leaking through the gap between the pressure plate and the barrel.
[0019] During use, turning the handwheel drives the screw to rotate. Through the interaction between the threads, the position of the screw relative to the nut can be changed. This in turn changes the position of the circular plate relative to the accommodating chamber, ultimately driving the pressure plate to compress the soil sample stored in the accommodating chamber. This reduces the movement space of the soil sample and maintains the original state of the soil sample. In addition, during transportation, when the stored soil is bumped and the gaps between the soil particles decrease, the pressure plate will move away from the circular plate under the elastic force of the spring. This allows the position of the pressure plate to change with the volume of the soil, ensuring that the pressure plate can continuously compress the soil sample.

[0036] Combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a sample preservation device for soil testing, including a barrel 1, a barrel cover 2, a nut 3, a screw 4, a circular plate 5, a pressure plate 6, a spring 7 and a handwheel 8. The barrel 1 includes a accommodating chamber. The barrel cover 2 is detachably mounted on the barrel 1 for opening or closing the accommodating chamber. The nut 3 is fixed at the center of the barrel cover 2. The screw 4 is threadedly connected to the nut 3 and is movably arranged on the barrel cover 2. The circular plate 5 is rotatably mounted on one end of the screw 4 and can be accommodated in the accommodating chamber. Along the height direction of the barrel 1, the pressure plate 6 is located below the circular plate 5. The spring 7 is mounted between the opposite surfaces of the circular plate 5 and the pressure plate 6. The handwheel 8 is mounted on the other end of the screw 4 for gripping. When the barrel cover 2 closes the accommodating chamber, the annular side surface of the pressure plate 6 fits into the annular inner wall of the barrel 1.
[0037] A sample storage device for soil testing provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a barrel 1, a barrel cover 2, a nut 3, a screw 4, a circular plate 5, a pressure plate 6, a spring 7 and a handwheel 8. The barrel 1 includes a accommodating chamber. The barrel 1 is used to store soil samples. The barrel cover 2 is detachably mounted on the barrel 1 for opening or closing the accommodating chamber. The nut 3 is fixed at the center of the barrel cover 2 for supporting the installation of the screw 4. The screw 4 is threadedly connected to the nut 3 and is movably inserted into the barrel cover 2 for converting rotational motion into linear motion. The circular plate 5 is rotatably mounted on one end of the screw 4 and can be accommodated in the accommodating chamber and can rotate relative to the screw 4. Along the height direction of the barrel 1, the pressure plate 6 is located below the circular plate 5 for pressing the soil sample. The spring 7 is mounted between the opposite surfaces of the circular plate 5 and the pressure plate 6 for providing elastic force. The handwheel 8 is mounted on the other end of the screw 4 for holding so that the screw 4 can be manually driven to rotate. When the barrel cover 2 closes the accommodating chamber, the annular side surface of the pressing plate 6 fits against the annular inner wall of the barrel 1 to prevent the soil sample from leaking out of the gap between the pressing plate 6 and the barrel.
[0038] During use, turning the handwheel 8 can drive the screw 4 to rotate. Through the interaction between the threads, the position of the screw 4 relative to the nut 3 can be changed. In turn, the position of the circular plate 5 relative to the accommodating chamber is changed, and finally the pressing plate 6 can be driven to compress the soil sample stored in the accommodating chamber. This reduces the activity space of the soil sample and maintains the original state of the soil sample. In addition, during transportation, when the stored soil is bumped and the gap between the soil particles is reduced. Under the elastic force of the spring 7, the pressing plate 6 will move away from the circular plate 5. This allows the position of the pressing plate 6 to change with the volume of the soil, ensuring that the pressing plate 6 can continue to compress the soil sample.
[0039] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, the drum 1 includes an external thread. The drum cover 2 includes an internal thread that matches the external thread. The drum cover 2 is detachably mounted on the drum 1 via the internal and external threads.
[0040] In the disclosed embodiment, the drum 1 includes external threads, and the lid 2 includes internal threads that match the external threads. The lid 2 is removably attached to the drum 1 via the internal and external threads. This threaded connection offers advantages such as a stable connection and ease of disassembly. It also provides a good seal, helping to preserve the freshness of soil samples and ensuring that soil properties do not significantly change during storage.

[0042] In the disclosed embodiment, a deep groove ball bearing 9 is further mounted between the screw 4 and the circular plate 5. The inner ring of the deep groove ball bearing 9 abuts against the screw 4, while the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 9 abuts against the circular plate 5, allowing the circular plate 5 and the screw 4 to rotate relative to each other. This allows the circular plate 5, driven by the screw 4, to only move without rotating, and only compress the soil without rubbing against the soil surface.
[0043] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the screw rod 4 further includes a first circlip 10. The first circlip 10 is clamped on the screw rod 4 and is located on both sides of the screw rod 4 along the axial direction of the screw rod 4.

The deep groove ball bearing 9 is fixed between the two first circlips 10, thereby determining the relative position of the screw 4 and the deep groove ball bearing 9.
[0045] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second circlip 11 is further included. The second circlip 11 is clamped on the circular plate 5 and is located on both sides of the circular plate 5 along the thickness direction of the circular plate 5. The deep groove ball bearing 9 is located between the second circlips 11 on both sides.
[0046] In the disclosed embodiment, a second circlip 11 is also included, which is mounted on the circular plate 5. Along the thickness direction of the circular plate 5, the second circlip 11 is located on both sides of the circular plate 5, and each of the second circlips 11 abuts against the deep groove ball bearing 9. The deep groove ball bearing 9 is fixed between the two second circlips 11, thereby determining the relative position of the circular plate 5 and the deep groove ball bearing 9.
[0047] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a linear optical axis 12. The linear optical axis 12 is slidably arranged on the circular plate 5 and connected to the pressure plate 6. The spring 7 is sleeved on the linear optical axis 12.
