Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample storage technology, and in particular to an environmental monitoring sample storage device. Background Technology
[0002] In the mid-to-late 20th century, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the growing demand for environmental testing, it became common for environmental samples to be transported to laboratories. As a result, through continuous production changes, an environmental sample storage device was developed to more conveniently store environmental testing samples.
[0003] However, existing environmental storage devices, mostly flip-top designs, may become unstable when opened because the center of gravity shifts away from the container, causing the device to shake and potentially spill samples. This increases the probability of cross-contamination and affects the reliability of test results. Furthermore, the devices cannot accommodate sample vials of different diameters, resulting in poor adaptability and reduced convenience. This also slows down the process of placing sample vials, impacting staff efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an environmental monitoring sample storage device that reduces the probability of changes in the center of gravity of the storage device due to flipping the lid when opening and closing the storage device, thereby reducing the probability of shaking the storage device to a certain extent, increasing its safety and stability, and increasing the convenience of the storage device so that it can be adapted to sample bottles of different diameters.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, an environmental monitoring sample storage device is provided, comprising a box body, a supporting base plate fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the box body, movable plates arranged on the left and right sides inside the box body, an elastic band arranged on one side of the movable plate, a retaining plate arranged at the bottom end of the movable plate, a barrier plate fixedly connected to the upper front end of the box body, a second rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the box body, and a slow rebound sponge fixedly connected to the upper inner surface of the box body.
[0006] According to the aforementioned environmental monitoring sample storage device, the left and right ends of the movable plate are fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft, and the outer surface of the first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a slot, which is opened on the inner side of the left and right ends of the box.
[0007] According to the aforementioned environmental monitoring sample storage device, a rubber strip is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate, and the rubber strip has a certain degree of extensibility.
[0008] According to the aforementioned environmental monitoring sample storage device, a top cover is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the box, and the bottom surface of the top cover can be tightly attached to the upper surface of the movable plate.
[0009] According to the environmental monitoring sample storage device, an elastic band is fixedly connected to the left side of the movable plate, and the bottom end of the elastic band is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting base plate.
[0010] According to the aforementioned environmental monitoring sample storage device, a support frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate, a third rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the support frame, a top buckle is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the third rotating shaft, and the outer end of the top buckle is movably fastened to the outer surface of the barrier plate.
[0011] According to the aforementioned environmental monitoring sample storage device, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting base plate, and sliding rods are fixedly connected to both the fixing plate and the inner side of the box. A sleeve is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding rod, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sleeve.
[0012] According to the aforementioned environmental monitoring sample storage device, springs are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the card plate, and the springs are respectively fixed to the inner side of the fixed plate and the inner side of the box.
[0013] Beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. When staff open the environmental testing sample storage device, they should first hold the box with one hand and use the other hand to pull the outer end of the top latch upwards, causing the top latch to disengage from the barrier plate. At this time, the elastic band will contract elastically, causing the movable plate and the first rotating shaft to slide in the slot and finally be pulled into the box. When the elastic band is fully relaxed, the support frame on the upper surface of the movable plate will be blocked outside the box by the top cover. When staff close the environmental testing sample storage device, they should first pull the top latch outwards, causing the movable plate and the first rotating shaft to slide inside the slot. When the elastic band is taut to its maximum, they should press the top latch downwards to engage it with the outer surface of the barrier plate. This reduces the probability of the storage device's center of gravity moving away from the box after it is opened, reducing factors that could cause the storage device to be unstable. This reduces the overall shaking of the storage device, lowers the probability of samples being spilled, and also reduces the probability of cross-contamination.
[0015] 2. When the staff places the sample bottle, tilt the bottom of the bottle at a certain angle so that the bottom of the bottle contacts the clamping plate first. Continue to press the sample bottle downwards. At this time, the sleeve slides on the outer surface of the sliding rod, and the clamping plate continuously compresses the spring. Release the pressure when the sample bottle contacts the slow-rebound sponge. When the staff needs to remove the sample bottle, simply pull the sample bottle upwards. When the sample bottle is completely separated from the clamping plate, the elastic force of the spring will cause the clamping plates to stick together tightly. This allows the storage device to accommodate sample bottles of different diameters as much as possible, increasing the adaptability and convenience of the storage device. At the same time, the staff can place sample bottles quickly, which improves the work efficiency to a certain extent.

[0025] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an environmental monitoring sample storage device, which includes a box body 1. A supporting base plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the box body 1. Movable plates 6 are provided on the left and right sides inside the box body 1. An elastic band 7 is provided on one side of the movable plate 6. A clamping plate 16 is provided at the bottom end of the movable plate 6. A blocking plate 13 is fixedly connected to the upper front end of the box body 1. A second rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected inside the box body 1. A slow rebound sponge 19 is fixedly connected to the upper inner surface of the box body 1.
[0027] Specifically: The fixed connection between the housing 1 and the support plate 2 protects the interior of the storage device and reduces the probability of external impacts to the sample bottles. At the same time, the design of the interconnection between the movable plate 6, the elastic band 17, and the support plate 2 reduces the frictional wear of the movable plate 6 and the change in the center of gravity of the storage device during the opening and closing process. Meanwhile, the slow-rebound sponge 19 makes it less likely for the sample bottles to collide with the support plate.
[0028] The left and right ends of the movable plate 6 are fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 5. The outer surface of the first rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the slot 4, which is opened on the inner side of the left and right ends of the box body 1.
[0029] Specifically: by rotating and sliding the first rotating shaft 5 inside the slot 4, the wear and tear on the storage device components is reduced. At the same time, the slot 4 is opened inside the housing 1, making the storage device more integrated.
[0030] A rubber strip 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 6. The rubber strip 8 has a certain degree of extensibility.
[0031] Specifically: The design of the rubber strip 8 on the upper surface of the movable plate 6 enables the movable plate 6 to bend more smoothly and close tightly during the sliding process.
[0032] A top cover 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 1, and the bottom surface of the top cover 3 can be tightly attached to the upper surface of the movable plate 6.
[0033] Specifically: the top cover 3 on the upper surface of the housing 1 enables the movable plate 6 to be more airtight when opening and closing.
[0034] An elastic band 7 is fixedly connected to the left side of the movable plate 6, and the bottom end of the elastic band 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting base plate 2.
[0035] Specifically: the elastic band 7 fixedly connected to the support plate 2 has elastic contraction and elastic release, which enables the movable plate 6 to automatically contract and continuously tighten.
[0036] A support frame 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 6. A third rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected inside the support frame 10. A top buckle 12 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the third rotating shaft 11. The outer end of the top buckle 12 is movably fastened to the outer surface of the barrier plate 13.
[0037] Specifically, the top latch 12 prevents the movable plate 6 from excessively retracting when the movable plate 6 is in the open or closed state. At the same time, the rotational connection between the third rotating shaft 11 and the top latch 12 makes it easier and less strenuous to pry the top latch 12 off the blocking plate 13.
[0038] A fixing plate 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting base plate 2. A sliding rod 14 is fixedly connected to both the fixing plate 18 and the inner side of the box body 1. A sleeve 15 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding rod 14. A clamping plate 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sleeve 15.
[0039] Specifically: the sliding cooperation between the sliding rod 14 and the sleeve 15 makes the movement of the clamping plate 16 smoother and reduces the probability of the clamping plate 16 wobbling left and right.
[0040] Springs 17 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the card plate 16. The springs 17 are fixed to the inner side of the fixing plate 18 and the inner side of the box 1, respectively.
[0041] Specifically: Through the elastic release and elastic pressure of spring 17, the clamping plate 16 has a continuous clamping function during movement, reducing the probability of sample bottle shaking.
[0042] Working principle: When the operator opens the environmental testing sample storage device, they first hold the box with one hand and use the other hand to pull the outer end of the top latch 12 upwards, causing the top latch 12 to disengage from the barrier plate 13. At this time, the elastic band 7 will elastically contract, causing the movable plate 6 and the first rotating shaft 5 to slide in the slot 4 and finally be pulled into the interior of the box 1. When the elastic band 7 contracts to its most relaxed state, the support frame 10 on the upper surface of the movable plate 6 will be blocked outside the box 1 by the top cover 3. When the operator closes the environmental testing sample storage device, they first pull the top latch 12 outwards, causing the movable plate 6 and the first rotating shaft 5 to slide inside the slot 4. When the elastic band 7 is taut to its maximum, press down on the top buckle 12 to engage it with the outer surface of the barrier plate 13. When the staff puts in the sample bottle, tilt the bottom of the sample bottle at a certain angle so that the bottom of the sample bottle contacts the clamping plate 16 first. Continue to press down on the sample bottle. At this time, the sleeve 15 slides on the outer surface of the sliding rod 14, while the clamping plate 16 continuously compresses the spring 17. Release the staff when the sample bottle contacts the slow rebound sponge. When the staff needs to remove the sample bottle, pull the sample bottle upwards. When the sample bottle is completely separated from the clamping plate 16, the elastic force of the spring 17 will cause the clamping plates 16 to stick together tightly.
[0043] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
