[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 An experimental instrument storage cabinet includes a cabinet body 2. The inner cavity of the cabinet body 2 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism 3 for storing test tubes. The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a rotating disk 34 for adjusting the test tube placement space. The rotating disk 34 is installed in the inner cavity of the cabinet body 2. A square groove 35 is formed on the surface of the rotating disk 34. A fixing rod 37 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square groove 35. Two torsion springs 38 are provided in the inner cavity of the square groove 35 for changing the angle of the test tubes. The torsion springs 38 are sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod 37. One end of each torsion spring 38 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square groove 35, and the other end is fixedly connected to a rotating block 39. A placement seat 301 for placing test tubes is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating block 39. By rotating the disk 34 to bring the test tube to the front, and then pushing the placement seat 301 outwards, the torsion springs 38 deform, allowing the test tube to be retrieved.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 The adjustment mechanism 3 also includes a mounting base 31. The lower surface of the mounting base 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the cabinet 2. A fixing plate 32 is movably connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 31. Bolts 33 for mounting the fixing plate 32 are threadedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the fixing plate 32. The bolts 33 pass through both sides of the fixing plate 32 and are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 31. A threaded rod 302 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate 32. By removing the bolts 33, the threaded rod 302 can be easily disassembled for maintenance.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 The inner wall of the square groove 35 is fixedly connected to a protective plate 36 to protect the torsion spring 38. The surface of the threaded rod 302 is threadedly connected to a nut 303 that works with the threaded rod 302. The nut 303 is fixedly connected to the center of the rotating disk 34. By rotating the rotating disk 34, the nut 303 is driven to rotate, thereby changing the distance between the rotating disks 34 and enhancing the space utilization of the cabinet 2.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 The rotating disk 34 has anti-slip grooves on its edge to facilitate rotation. The torsion springs 38 on different rotating disks 34 have different sizes. There are several rotating disks 34 on the threaded rod 302 and several placement seats 301 on the rotating disks 34. The placement seats 301 on different rotating disks 34 have different sizes to facilitate the placement and removal of test tubes of different sizes.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 The bottom of the cabinet 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the side wall of the cabinet 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating door 5. A glass observation window is provided in the middle of the surface of the rotating door 5, so that the test tubes inside the cabinet 2 can be viewed through the glass observation window, making it easy to take out the test tubes.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 A partition 4 is movably inserted into the top of the cabinet 2. Pulling out the partition 4 makes it easy to remove the rotating plate 34 from the top of the cabinet 2.

[0028] The working principle of this experimental instrument storage cabinet will be explained in detail below.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the test tube is placed in the placement seat 301 by moving the placement seat 301. The spacing between the rotating discs 34 is changed by rotating the rotating disc 34 to make reasonable use of the storage space of the cabinet 2. When the test tube needs to be taken out, the position of the test tube can be viewed through the glass observation window. The rotating door 5 is opened, and the rotating disc 34 is rotated by rotating the anti-slip groove. The test tube to be taken out is rotated to the front. The test tube is taken out by moving the torsion spring 38 of the placement seat 301 to deform it. When the rotating disc 34 needs to be replaced, simply pull out the partition 4 and rotate the rotating disc 34 upward to disassemble the rotating disc 34 from the top of the threaded rod 302 for maintenance.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
