[0003] Existing storage devices generally focus primarily on whether the storage environment can meet sample requirements. However, there is significant room for improvement in terms of rapid retrieval and storage. When a large number of samples are stored in the device, staff must repeatedly search for the required sample, which is time-consuming and affects the experimental process. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved device for efficient and rapid retrieval and storage of laboratory samples. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a device for efficient and rapid sample retrieval and storage in the laboratory, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a device for efficient and rapid sample retrieval and storage in a laboratory, comprising a storage box, an equipment compartment at the bottom of the storage box, a sealed door at the front of the storage box, a sealing plate rotatably connected to the top of the storage box, a tension spring fixedly connected to the sealing plate inside the storage box, a vertical drive assembly inside the storage box, a mounting plate fixedly connected to the output shaft of the vertical drive assembly, a rotating roller rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting plate, a motor capable of driving the rotating roller to rotate on the mounting plate, several support rods fixedly connected to the rotating roller, storage boxes rotatably connected to the ends of the support rods, a pressure plate with an inclined top surface fixedly connected to the top surface of the storage box, and a control panel on the outer side of the storage box.

[0007] Preferably, of any of the above solutions, the storage box has an observation window on its side, and the equipment compartment contains a battery and a controller.

[0008] Preferably, of any of the above embodiments, there are two sealing plates arranged symmetrically on the top of the storage box, and the sealing plates are set at an angle.

[0009] The above technical solution provides space for sample storage, with an observation window on its side allowing staff to directly observe the interior from the outside. An equipment compartment is located at the bottom of the storage box, providing installation space for components such as batteries and controllers, while also isolating them from the samples, which is beneficial for sample storage. A sealed door is located on the front of the storage box, allowing staff to easily open the box to access and manipulate the samples or components inside. A sealing plate is installed on the top of the storage box, which can be opened when needed to allow staff to access and remove samples.

[0010] Preferably, as described in any of the above embodiments, a sealing gasket is provided on the inner side of the sealing plate, and a guide block is provided on the inner side of the top of each of the two sealing plates.

[0011] Preferably, of any of the above embodiments, there are several tension springs evenly arranged on the side wall of the storage box, and there are two vertical drive components symmetrically arranged inside the storage box.

[0012] The above technical solution employs the following: A sealing gasket is placed inside the sealing plate, which improves the sealing performance of the storage box and facilitates providing a suitable storage environment for samples. A guide block is placed inside the sealing plate to facilitate pressure application by the pressure plate to open the sealing plate. Tension springs hold the sealing plate in place, ensuring the storage box is sealed without external force. Several tension springs evenly distributed within the storage box help maintain the balance and stability of the sealing plate. A vertical drive assembly is used to drive the mounting plate and its structure to vertical displacement. The mounting plate provides a mounting platform for the rotating rollers.

[0013] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, several of the support rods are evenly arranged circumferentially on the rotating roller, and the end of the storage box is rotatably connected to the support rods via a rotating shaft.

[0014] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the storage box is provided with a partition, and the pressure plate adopts an isosceles triangular structure.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model includes a storage box 1, an equipment compartment 2 at the bottom of the storage box 1, a sealing door 3 on the front of the storage box 1, a sealing plate 4 rotatably connected to the top of the storage box 1, a tension spring 5 fixedly connected to the sealing plate 4 inside the storage box 1, a vertical drive assembly 6 inside the storage box 1, a mounting plate 7 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the vertical drive assembly 6, a rotating roller 8 rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting plate 7, a motor 9 on the mounting plate 7 that can drive the rotating roller 8 to rotate, several support rods 10 fixedly connected to the rotating roller 8, a storage box 11 rotatably connected to the end of the support rods 10, a pressure plate 12 with an inclined top surface fixedly connected to the top surface of the storage box 11, and a control panel 13 on the outer side of the storage box 1.

[0029] Example 1: An observation window is provided on the side of the storage box 1, and the battery and controller are housed in the equipment compartment 2. Two sealing plates 4 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the storage box 1, and the sealing plates 4 are angled. The storage box 1 provides space for sample storage, and the observation window on its side allows staff to directly observe the interior of the storage box 1 from the outside. The equipment compartment 2 is located at the bottom of the storage box 1, providing installation space for components such as the battery and controller, and also isolating them from the samples, which is beneficial for sample storage. A sealed door 3 is provided on the front of the storage box 1, allowing staff to easily open the storage box 1 to access and manipulate the samples or components inside. The sealing plates 4 are located on the top of the storage box 1, and can be opened when needed, allowing staff to access and place samples.

[0030] Example 2: A sealing gasket is provided on the inner side of the sealing plate 4, and guide blocks are provided on the inner side of the top of both sealing plates 4. Several tension springs 5 ​​are evenly arranged on the side wall of the storage box 1, and two vertical drive components 6 are symmetrically arranged inside the storage box 1. The sealing gasket on the inner side of the sealing plate 4 helps to improve the sealing performance of the storage box 1 and facilitates the provision of a suitable storage environment for the sample. The guide blocks on the inner side of the sealing plate 4 facilitate the pressure plate 12 to apply pressure to the sealing plate 4 to open it. The tension springs 5 ​​tie the sealing plate 4, so that the sealing plate 4 seals the storage box 1 when no external force is applied. Several tension springs 5 ​​evenly arranged inside the storage box 1 help to ensure the balance and stability of the sealing plate 4. The vertical drive components 6 are used to drive the mounting plate 7 and its structure to perform vertical displacement.

[0034] S2. The vertical drive assembly 6 pushes the mounting plate 7 upward. As the mounting plate 7 moves upward, the pressure plate 12 contacts the sealing plate 4 and pushes it open. The sealing plate 4 rotates to the side, opening the top of the storage box 1 and removing the storage box 11 for staff to take and put in samples.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0036] 1.

As needed, the control panel 13 controls the motor 9, which drives the rotating roller 8 and support rod 10 to rotate, positioning the required storage box 11 directly above the rotating roller 8. Then, the vertical drive assembly 6 pushes the mounting plate 7 upwards. As the mounting plate 7 rises, the pressure plate 12 contacts and pushes open the sealing plate 4, causing the sealing plate 4 to rotate laterally, opening the top of the storage box 1 and allowing the storage box 11 to be removed for sample retrieval. Samples are delivered out of the storage box 1, eliminating the need for staff to rummage through it, making retrieval and placement more convenient.
