Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal specimen preservation, in particular to an animal specimen storage container. Background Art

[0002] Wet animal specimens are specimens of whole or partial animal tissues, preserved in a specific preservative solution to preserve their original shape and structure. If the container is not properly sealed, the preservative solution will gradually evaporate, exposing the specimen to air and causing it to dry out and deform.

[0003] Currently used wet animal specimen storage containers primarily utilize a sealing lid and a sealing ring to achieve sealing. This single-layer sealing structure is not sufficiently reliable. Furthermore, organic matter in the specimen tissue may produce gases such as carbon dioxide and methane under the decomposition action of microorganisms. Even under the action of preservatives (such as formalin), some anaerobic microorganisms may still be active to a certain extent, thereby producing gases and causing increased pressure within the container. This increased pressure not only affects the sealing performance of the sealing structure but also squeezes the specimen, causing deformation and affecting its accuracy as a research or display material. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an animal specimen storage container to address the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described 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.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an animal specimen storage container in an embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 1, the upper end cover of the container body 1 is provided with a double-layer sealing cover 2, and a pressure relief component 3 is provided at the middle part of the upper end of the double-layer sealing cover 2; when in use, the animal specimen is stored in the container body 1, and the container body 1 is tightly sealed by the double-layer sealing cover 2, and the provided pressure relief component 3 can discharge the gas in the container in time when the pressure in the container body 1 increases, thereby reducing the pressure, preventing the container from being damaged or leaking, and avoiding the squeezing of the specimen by the increased pressure in the container, thereby preventing the specimen from being deformed and ensuring its accuracy as a research or display material.

[0029] Specifically, the pressure relief assembly 3 includes a cavity 301, the lower end of the cavity 301 is provided with an arc-shaped opening, and a sealing ball 302 is provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped opening, and a spring 303 is abutted between the upper end of the sealing ball 302 and the cavity 301; the top surface of the cavity 301 is provided with two pressure relief holes 307, and an outer sealing gasket 304 is fixedly embedded in the middle of the upper end surface of the cavity 301. The edge of the outer sealing gasket 304 extends outward and covers the two pressure relief holes 307. When the gas pressure in the container body 1 increases, the sealing ball 302 is pushed up, and the gas enters. The air enters the cavity 301 and finally pushes up the outer sealing gasket 304 to be discharged from the pressure relief hole, thereby reducing the pressure in the container body 1. The sealing ball 302 and the outer sealing gasket 304 form a double-layer one-way seal. The outer sealing gasket 304 serves as the first layer of external protection. After the outer sealing gasket 304 falls back, it prevents external gas from entering the cavity 1. In addition, after the pressure relief is completed, the sealing ball 302 will be in close contact with the opening of 301 due to the elasticity of the spring 303, thereby effectively preventing external gas from contaminating the specimen storage environment, and the reliability is high.

[0030] In addition, in order to ensure the smoothness of gas discharge and the sealing performance of the outer sealing gasket 304 after it is reset, in this embodiment, both sides of the sealing ball 302 are fixedly connected with ejector pins 308, and the upper ends of the two ejector pins 308 respectively extend into the two pressure relief holes 307; the upper end surface of the cavity 301 is provided with a second matching groove 306, and the outer periphery of the lower end surface of the outer sealing gasket 304 is fixedly provided with a convex strip 305, which is engaged with the second matching groove 306, and an elastic sheet 309 is fixedly embedded in the interior of the outer sealing gasket 304. When the gas is exhausted and the pressure is released, the sealing ball 302 is pushed up, and the two ejector pins 308 will synchronously push the outer sealing gasket 304, thereby assisting the gas discharge. The provided elastic sheet 309 can ensure the elasticity of the outer sealing gasket 304. The elastic sheet 309 is made of arc-shaped metal spring sheet, has strong elasticity, and has a good shaping effect, which can ensure that the outer sealing gasket 304 can closely fit with the sealing surface after it is reset.

[0031] The protruding strip 305 and the second matching groove 306 are used to further improve the sealing performance of the outer sealing gasket 304 .

[0032] Example 2

[0033] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 as well as Figure 5As shown, on the basis of embodiment 1, the container body 1 includes a bottle body 101, the upper end of the bottle body 101 is fixed with a bottle mouth 102, and the upper end of the bottle body 101 is located at the periphery of the bottle mouth 102 and is provided with a matching groove 103; the double-layer sealing cover 2 includes an outer cover body 201, the inner side of the outer cover body 201 is fixedly connected to the inner cover body 202, the inner cover body 202 is threadedly sleeved with the bottle mouth 102, and the lower end of the outer cover body 201 is fixed with an outer sealing ring 204, the outer cover body 201 can completely cover the matching groove 103, and the outer sealing ring 204 is fixed to the outer cover body 201. 4 can be inserted into the interior of the matching groove 103; an inner sealing ring 203 is provided between the outer cover 201 and the bottle mouth 102, and the inner sealing ring 203 is fixedly connected to the outer cover 201. After the double-layer sealing cover 2 is closed, the outer cover 201 cooperates with the bottle body 101 to form a first layer of sealing, while the inner cover 202 is connected to the bottle mouth 101 to form a second layer of sealing. The double-layer sealing structure effectively isolates the outside air from entering the bottle body 101, thereby ensuring the sealing of the specimen storage space inside the bottle body 101 and preventing contamination.

[0034] In addition, in this embodiment, the bottle body 101 is cylindrical and made of transparent glass, and the bottom surface of the bottle body 101 is provided with an arc-shaped concave. The cylindrical transparent glass bottle body is convenient for visually observing the specimen inside, and is evenly stressed and not easily damaged. The arc-shaped internal structure provided on the bottom of the bottle can effectively disperse the pressure borne by the bottle body 101, thereby improving its pressure resistance and deformation resistance.

[0035] For ease of use, the outer side of the outer cover 201 is fixedly provided with anti-slip grooves to facilitate tightening the double-layer sealing cover 2.

[0036] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention in detail. However, the above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
