Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of sampling bottle storage technology, and more specifically to a rotatable storage box for collecting drinking water samples. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure the safety of drinking water, users need to conduct regular testing. Different testing items require sampling containers of different materials. Water samples for measuring inorganic substances, metals and metalloids, and radioactive elements should be sampled in containers made of organic materials, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyethylene (PE). Water samples for measuring organic matter should be sampled in containers made of glass. Different analytes require different preservatives. Therefore, sampling bottles of different materials are needed, and different preservatives may be added to different sampling bottles. Currently, most laboratories use square iron frames to hold different sampling bottles, and after use, they also need to affix sample number labels and labels representing different preservatives to the sampling bottles.

[0003] However, in practice, it has been noted that most sampling bottles currently need to be placed in rectangular frames for transport and storage. However, there is no structure inside the rectangular frames to fix the sampling bottles, which makes them prone to collisions during transportation, resulting in the glass sampling bottles breaking. Moreover, the placement order is relatively chaotic, making it more troublesome for researchers to collect samples. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-11 This utility model provides a rotatable storage box for collecting drinking water samples, including a box shell 1, a support base 2 integrally provided at the bottom of the box shell 1, and rotating support seats 4 movably connected in a ring array on the support base 2, and a sampling bottle locking device 8 is installed on each of the rotating support seats 4.

[0035] The rotating support base 4 has a support plate 41. The bottom of the support plate 41 is integrally provided with a rotating shaft 44. A cross groove is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 44 away from the support plate 41. A cross baffle 45 is fixedly connected in the cross groove by bolts.

[0036] The support base 2 has shaft holes 21 in a ring array corresponding to the rotating shaft 44, and the rotating shaft 44 passes through the inner side of the shaft holes 21. Each shaft hole 21 has an integrally provided limiting groove 22 at the bottom, wherein the cross baffle 45 fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 44 is located in the limiting groove 22.

[0037] In this embodiment, a positioning partition 3 is inserted into the outer shell 1 of the housing, and a plurality of mounting holes 31 are evenly provided inside the positioning partition 3. The mounting holes 31 are correspondingly engaged with the rotating support base 4. Limiting holes 32 are symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the mounting holes 31, and a spring 33 is fixedly installed inside the limiting hole 32. A limiting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the spring 33, and an arc-shaped support plate 35 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the limiting rod 34.

[0038] Furthermore, each of the support plates 41 is provided with a mounting groove 42, and a central rod 43 is integrally provided at the center of the mounting groove 42. Moreover, the cross-section of the mounting groove 42 is cross-shaped, and the sampling bottle locking device 8 is movably connected in the mounting groove 42.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sampling bottle locking device 8 has a pressing plate 81, and the pressing plate 81 is located at the center of the mounting groove 42. The bottom of the pressing plate 81 is integrally provided with a central sleeve 87 that slides and engages with the central rod 43. Furthermore, at the angle between the pressing plate 81 and the central sleeve 87, inclined blocks 88 are integrally provided in a circular array.

[0040] Furthermore, each of the inclined blocks 88 has a sliding top rod 82 placed on its side, and a rectangular groove is provided on the inner side of the sliding top rod 82. A fixed limiting plate 83 is slidably connected in the rectangular groove, wherein the two sides of the fixed limiting plate 83 are fixedly connected to the support plate 41.

[0041] More specifically, the sliding top rod 82 is provided with a flipping claw 84 at one end away from the inclined block 88. The flipping claw 84 is movably connected to the mounting groove 42 through a pin, and a spring plate 85 is fixedly connected to the other end of the flipping claw 84. The other side of the spring plate 85 is in contact with the end of the mounting groove 42.

[0042] More specifically, the flipping grippers 84 are arranged in a ring array corresponding to the end of the mounting groove 42, and a rubber anti-slip pad 86 is fixedly connected above the flipping grippers 84.

[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, the sampling bottle is placed on the support plate 41, and the weight of the sampling bottle presses the pressing plate 81. As the pressing plate 81 descends, the inclined surface of the tilting block 88 pushes the sliding top rod 82 to slide inside the mounting groove 42, and the sliding top rod 82 pushes the flipping claw 84 to move downward and outward. Since the flipping claw 84 is rotatably connected to the support plate 41 through a pin, the position of multiple flipping claws 84 above the support plate 41 will drive the rubber anti-slip pad 86 to move closer to the sampling bottle. The squeezing between the multiple flipping claws 84 clamps the bottom of the sampling bottle to prevent the sampling bottle from shaking. Furthermore, the support plate 41 can rotate above the support base 2 through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 44 and the shaft hole 21, which facilitates the rotation of the sampling bottle clamped above the support plate 41, making it convenient for the experimenter to view the label on the sampling bottle.

[0044] In this embodiment, the outer side of the outer shell 1 is provided with transverse reinforcing ribs 6 in a rectangular array, and the outer side of the outer shell 1 is also provided with longitudinal reinforcing ribs 7 in a circular array. Moreover, the transverse reinforcing ribs 6 and the longitudinal reinforcing ribs 7 are integrally formed with the outer shell 1, thereby increasing the structural strength of the outer shell 1.

[0045] Furthermore, the outer shell 1 of the box is also fixedly connected to both sides with a handle 5, which allows the experimenter to hold the handle 5 and move the storage box.

[0046] In this embodiment, the spring plate 85 is located below the pin at the connection between the flipping gripper 84 and the support plate 41. When the pressure on the pressing plate 81 decreases, the spring plate 85 will push the bottom of the flipping gripper 84 to rotate, causing the top of the flipping gripper 84 to rotate outward and release.

[0047] More specifically, the inclined block 88 is inserted into the corresponding position of the mounting groove 42, and the inclined surface of the inclined block 88 is in contact with the end of the sliding top rod 82. The inclined block 88 moves up and down to push the sliding top rod 82 to move through the inclined surface.

[0048] In this embodiment, a side groove 11 is provided at the top edge of the outer shell 1, and multiple snap-fit ​​grooves 12 are provided at evenly spaced positions inside the side groove 11. A snap-fit ​​edge 23 is provided at the bottom edge of the support base 2 corresponding to the side groove 11. The snap-fit ​​edge 23 is snapped into the side groove 11. Multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 24 are installed at the bottom of the snap-fit ​​edge 23 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove 12, and the snap-fit ​​groove 12 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​block 24.

[0049] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the sampling bottle is first placed onto the support plate 41 through the mounting hole 31 via the positioning partition 3. During this process, the sampling bottle can press against the arc-shaped support plates 35 on both sides of the mounting hole 31, thus limiting the position of the sampling bottle. The weight of the sampling bottle presses against the pressing plate 81. As the pressing plate 81 descends, the inclined surface of the tilting block 88 pushes the sliding top rod 82 to slide inside the mounting groove 42. Furthermore, the sliding top rod 82 pushes the flipping gripper 84 to move downwards and outwards. Since the flipping gripper 84 is rotatably connected to the support plate 41 via a pin... Therefore, the flipping gripper 84, located above the support plate 41, will cause the rubber anti-slip pad 86 to move closer to the sampling bottle. The bottom of the sampling bottle is clamped by the squeezing between the multiple flipping grippers 84. The support plate 41 can rotate above the support base 2 through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 44 and the shaft hole 21. Then, the positioning partition 3 is placed into the outer shell 1 from top to bottom. Since the hole on the mounting hole 31 corresponds to the support plate 41, each sampling bottle will pass through the corresponding hole on the positioning partition 3. The positioning partition 3 separates the sampling bottles to prevent the top of the sampling bottles from shaking and colliding.

[0050] Furthermore, after the sampling bottle is placed, the device can also be stacked. By using the snap-fit ​​edge 23 and snap-fit ​​block 24 at the bottom of the support base 2 to install and snap-fit ​​the device to the corresponding edge groove 11 and snap-fit ​​groove 12 at the top edge of the outer shell, the stacking process can be realized.

[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0052] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
