Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample processing technology, and more specifically, to a sample collection and transport box. Background Technology

[0002] In many fields such as biology and environmental science, sample collection and transportation are undoubtedly crucial steps, as the quality and condition of the samples directly affect subsequent testing, analysis, and research results. Currently, the common practice when transporting samples is to simply put the samples into containers and then place the containers directly into transport boxes to begin the transport process. However, this method makes it very easy for adjacent containers to collide with each other, which not only damages the containers themselves but also affects the samples inside, causing them to be destroyed.

[0003] To address this challenge, operators create dedicated compartments within the sample container to house the containers. While this method enhances stability to some extent, it has a significant drawback: it cannot accommodate containers of different sizes. This means that different samples require corresponding transport boxes, and after transport, each container must be individually removed and placed on a storage rack. The entire process is quite cumbersome, causing considerable inconvenience to operators and impacting work efficiency and the convenience of sample processing.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to providing a sample collection and transport box that can effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, a positioning post is provided at the bottom of the box, and a heightening plate is sleeved on the middle section of the positioning post. A positioning groove is opened at the lower end of the storage box to cooperate with the positioning post. The upper half of the positioning post is located in the positioning groove, and its outer edge is in contact with the positioning groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper half of the outer wall of the storage box is provided with handle grooves on both sides.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer wall of the housing is provided with a mounting groove, the guide rod passes through the mounting groove, and a limit ring is provided on the outer side of the guide rod, the limit ring being located at the mounting groove.

[0017] Furthermore, one end of the lid is hinged to the box body, and the other end is detachably connected to the box body, while the bottom plate of the box body is detachably connected to the box body.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] Effective protection for samples and containers: The transport box is specially designed with positioning cavities for placing sample containers. This ingenious design effectively prevents sample containers from colliding with each other during transport, thereby greatly reducing damage to the containers themselves. More importantly, it ensures the integrity of the samples inside the containers, providing reliable sample protection for subsequent testing, analysis and research.

[0020] Flexible Container Adaptability: This transport box boasts excellent container adaptability, allowing users to flexibly select the appropriate positioning cavity based on the actual dimensions of their sample containers. The number of positioning cavities and the spacing between adjacent cavities can be customized to meet specific needs. Notably, the transport box's main body and internal key structures require no dimensional changes during the adjustment of positioning cavities to accommodate different containers. This significantly reduces production costs and greatly enhances the transport box's versatility, avoiding the cumbersome situation of needing multiple transport boxes due to variations in sample container specifications.

[0021] Easy and secure installation: The transport box is designed with guide rails and guide grooves to provide precise guidance for the installation of the storage container components. During installation, the structures between the relevant components can fit together smoothly. Once installed in place, a specific limiting structure and spring device work together to firmly lock the stored components inside the transport box. This design effectively prevents the stored components from shifting during transportation, providing a solid guarantee for the safe transport of samples.

[0022] All-around positioning ensures stability: The cooperation between the guide rails and guide grooves not only facilitates installation but also provides all-around positioning for the stored components within the transport container. They precisely limit the position of the stored components in the front-back and left-right directions. Simultaneously, the positioning structure at the bottom of the transport container, in conjunction with the bottom of the stored components, further enhances vertical stability. This all-around positioning design ensures that the stored components maintain the correct position throughout the entire transportation process, effectively preventing shaking or displacement and maximizing sample safety.

[0023] The operation is simple and efficient: when it is necessary to remove the stored components, the operator only needs to pull a specific pull ring to easily unlock the device, and then the stored components can be easily retrieved through the specially designed handle. In addition, the transport box lid is designed with a handle for easy handling, and both the lid and the bottom plate are removable, which greatly facilitates the maintenance, cleaning, and internal structural adjustments of the transport box. Furthermore, the bottom positioning structure is equipped with an adjustable height component, which can flexibly adjust the height of the stored components according to actual needs, further enhancing the stability during transport and significantly improving the overall efficiency of sample transport.

[0043] The inner wall of the box 1 is provided with a positioning seat 21, and two guide rails 5 are both provided on the inner side of the positioning seat 21. The guide groove 7 is opened at the lower end of the storage box 2 and extends upward to the upper half of the storage box 2.

[0044] The positioning seat 21 is provided with an opening 23. The guide rod 12 slides through the housing 1 and is located at the opening 23. A support seat 22 is provided on the inner side of the guide rod 12. The inner side of the support seat 22 is connected to the outer side of the second limiting member 15.

The lower end of the support seat 22 is slidably connected to the positioning seat 21.

[0045] The lower end of the support base 22 is provided with two guide pulleys 26, and the opening 23 is provided with two sliding grooves 27. Each guide pulley 26 is located in each sliding groove 27 and can slide along the length of each sliding groove 27.

[0050] The working principle of this sample collection and transfer box revolves around the cooperation between its components, and the optimal usage principle is as follows:

[0051] Placing the sample container (not shown in the figure) into the container positioning cavity 6 at the top of the storage box 2 can prevent collisions between containers and protect the sample and the container. In addition, this utility model has excellent adaptability and can accommodate sample containers of different sizes. Specifically:

[0052] Users can flexibly select the matching container positioning cavity 6 according to the size of the sample container to be placed. The number of container positioning cavities 6 and the spacing between two adjacent container positioning cavities 6 can be customized according to actual usage needs. It is worth mentioning that the overall size of the storage box 2 remains constant during this process. This design not only greatly simplifies the processing and production process and reduces production costs, but also eliminates the need to adjust the size of the box body 1 and the locking parts 11 inside the box body 1. In this way, the box body 1 can be accurately positioned and work together with the storage box 2 which has container positioning cavities 6 of different specifications, fully meeting diverse sample transportation needs and improving the versatility and practicality of the transport box.

[0053] When installing storage box 2, align its guide groove 7 with the guide rail 5 on the inner side of box body 1 and slide it down along the guide rail 5. During the slide, the arc-shaped guide surface 10 of the first limiting member 8 on storage box 2 contacts the inclined surface 16 of the second limiting member 15 in locking member 11, pushing the second limiting member 15 to slide against the spring force of return spring 18 towards the inner wall of box body 1, making room for the installation of storage box 2. After storage box 2 is installed in place, the first limiting plane 9 of the first limiting member 8 fits against the second limiting plane 17 of the second limiting member 15, and the return spring 18 causes the second limiting member 15 to lock the first limiting member 8, fixing storage box 2 inside box body 1 and limiting the vertical position of storage box 2 to prevent displacement during transportation.

[0054] In the structural design of the sample collection and transport box, the cooperation between the guide rail 5 and the guide groove 7 plays a crucial role. When the storage box 2 is placed into the box body 1, the precise cooperation between the guide rail 5 and the guide groove 7 provides a convenient guiding path for the installation of the storage box 2. During this process, the storage box 2 can smoothly slide into the box body 1 along the guide rail 5, which not only ensures the smooth cooperation between the first limiting member 8 and the locking member 11, but also ensures the stability of the storage box 2 during transportation. When the storage box 2 gradually slides down to the appropriate position, the first limiting member 8 will precisely engage with the locking member 11 to lock the storage box 2.

[0055] Meanwhile, the cooperation between the guide rail 5 and the guide groove 7 also creates favorable conditions for the accurate docking of the positioning post 28 and the positioning groove 30. As the storage box 2 slides down along the guide rail 5, the positioning post 28 at the bottom of the box 1 can accurately fall into the positioning groove 30 at the lower end of the storage box 2 under the guidance of the guide groove 7. This precise positioning further enhances the stability of the storage box 2 within the box 1, effectively avoiding possible shaking or displacement during transportation.

[0056] Furthermore, the cooperation between the guide rail 5 and the guide groove 7 provides comprehensive positioning for the storage box 2 within the box body 1. Through their close cooperation, the front-back and left-right positions of the storage box 2 can be precisely defined, ensuring that the storage box 2 always maintains the correct installation position within the box body 1, thus providing a solid guarantee for the safe transport of samples.

[0057] The process of removing storage box 2 from box 1 is also very simple. The operator simply pulls the pull ring 13 on the outside of the guide rod 12. The movement of the pull ring 13 drives the guide rod 12, causing the second limiting member 15 connected to the guide rod 12 to move outward from box 1. As the second limiting member 15 gradually moves outward until it is no longer above the first limiting member 8 and completely releases its constraint on the first limiting member 8, storage box 2 is now freely removable. The operator can smoothly lift storage box 2 upward using the handle slots 31 on both sides of the upper half of the outer wall of storage box 2. Continue pulling upward until storage box 2 is completely removed from box 1. The entire operation is simple and efficient, greatly improving the efficiency of sample transport.

[0058] In addition, this utility model also has the following features:

[0059] 1. Handling and Retrieval: The handle 20 is provided in the handle placement slot 19 at the top of the lid 3 for easy handling and transfer of the box. The handle slots 31 on both sides of the outer wall of the storage box 2 facilitate the individual retrieval of the storage box 2.

[0060] 2. Structural adjustment: One end of the cover 3 is hinged to the body 1, and the other end is detachable. The bottom plate of the body 1 is also detachable, which facilitates maintenance, cleaning and internal structural adjustment.

[0061] 3. Positioning and height adjustment: The positioning post 28 at the bottom of the box 1 cooperates with the positioning groove 30 at the bottom of the storage box 2. The height-increasing plate 29 fitted on the positioning post 28 (disassembled connection, which can be made by screws or other means, and is not limited here) can adjust the height of the storage box 2 as needed to enhance stability.

[0062] 3. Locking Operation: When it is necessary to remove storage box 2, pull the pull ring 13 on the outside of the guide rod 12. The guide rod 12 drives the second limiting member 15 to move outward, overcoming the elastic force of the return spring 18, so that the second limiting plane 17 disengages from the first limiting plane 9, releasing the lock on storage box 2. At this time, storage box 2 can be taken out upward along the guide rail 5. Release the pull ring 13, and the return spring 18 resets the second limiting member 15. In addition, the guide pulley 26 at the lower end of the support seat 22 cooperates with the slide groove 27 at the opening 23 of the positioning seat 21, which plays a guiding role when the second limiting member 15 moves, making its movement smoother.

[0063] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
