Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laboratory instrument storage, in particular to an instrument management cabinet for a laboratory. Background Art

[0002] Laboratories use a wide variety of small and medium-sized instruments, often with delicate structures and complex operations, making them crucial for the accuracy and reliability of experimental research. Proper storage of these instruments after use not only protects them from damage and ensures they remain in good working condition for the next use, but is also crucial for maintaining a clean and orderly laboratory and improving work efficiency.

[0003] However, a common challenge facing laboratories today is that existing instrument management cabinet designs often fail to fully account for the specific needs of small and medium-sized instruments. These cabinets are typically long and laid flat against the wall, resulting in a large footprint and low space utilization. Laboratory personnel must maneuver large distances to access small and medium-sized instruments, and these instruments can be easily damaged by accidental collisions or drops during movement. This not only limits the number of instruments a laboratory can accommodate and increases costs, but can also impact the overall layout and operational processes of the laboratory due to insufficient space, and increases the likelihood of damage to small and medium-sized instruments during movement. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art that laboratory instrument management cabinets occupy a large placement area and have low space utilization, the utility model provides a laboratory instrument management cabinet.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A laboratory instrument management cabinet includes a cabinet body, which is a rectangular parallelepiped. A bottom plate is installed at the bottom of the cabinet body. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed at the bottom of the bottom plate. The bottom end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the base. Several storage boxes are embedded in the four vertical sides of the cabinet body, and the storage boxes are provided with doors.

[0007] By adopting the above-mentioned structural scheme, the storage boxes on each side of the cabinet can be opened by rotating the cabinet. The cabinet in this application occupies a small placement area. When storing instruments, the experimenter only needs to stand in front of the cabinet and rotate the cabinet. The space utilization rate is high and the instrument can be placed in the corner without moving a large distance, reducing the probability of accidents such as accidental collision or falling of the instrument during movement.

[0008] As an optimal implementation method of a laboratory instrument management cabinet, a drive motor is installed on the base, the output shaft of the drive motor is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft, a drive gear is installed on the output shaft of the drive motor, the drive gear is engaged with the transmission gear, and the transmission gear is installed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft.

[0009] With the above structural solution, the driving motor can drive the driving gear to rotate, thereby driving the transmission gear to rotate, and then rotating the shaft, so that the cabinet can rotate automatically without manual rotation, which is convenient and labor-saving.

[0010] As a preferred implementation of a laboratory instrument management cabinet, a dust cover is installed on the base, and the drive motor, drive gear and transmission gear are all installed in the dust cover.

[0011] With the above structural solution, the dust cover plays a role of dust protection.

[0012] As an optimal implementation method of a laboratory instrument management cabinet, the drive motor can rotate forward and reverse.

Each air inlet branch pipe passes through the shell and is connected to a corresponding box air inlet, and each box air outlet is connected to an air outlet branch pipe, and the air outlet branch pipe passes through the shell and is connected to the internal space of the shell.

[0019] By adopting the above structural scheme, the ventilation dehumidifier can absorb dry air from the outside and send it into the storage box through the main pipeline and the air inlet branch pipe. The relatively humid gas in the storage box is discharged from the shell through the air outlet branch pipe under the action of air circulation, and then discharged into the surrounding environment.

[0022] As a preferred implementation of a laboratory instrument management cabinet, the ventilation and dehumidifier is electrically connected to the humidity sensor, the humidity sensor is electrically connected to the storage controller, and the humidity sensor is installed in the housing.

[0023] By adopting the above structural scheme, the humidity sensor can detect the humidity inside the shell in real time, and the humidity inside the shell can indirectly reflect the humidity inside the storage box. If the humidity sensor detects that the humidity is too high, the box storage controller sends a signal, and the storage controller can control the ventilation and dehumidifier to ventilate and dehumidify.

[0024] As a preferred implementation of a laboratory instrument management cabinet, a slide is slidably provided at the bottom of the storage box, and the slide can slide in and out of the storage box.

[0025] With the above structural solution, the instrument can be pulled in and out of the storage box by pulling out the slide plate, which makes it easy to place and take out the instrument and reduces friction between the bottom of the instrument and the bottom surface of the storage box.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the utility model include:

[0027] By rotating the cabinet, the storage boxes on each side of the cabinet can be opened. The cabinet in this application occupies a small placement area. When storing instruments, the experimenter only needs to stand in front of the cabinet and rotate the cabinet. The space utilization rate is high and the instrument can be placed in the corner without moving a large distance, reducing the probability of accidents such as accidental collision or falling of the instrument during movement.
