Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of plate coating equipment in microbial experiments, specifically to a container for storing coating rods. Background Technology

[0002] In microbiological experiments, plate spreading is often used as a basic microbiological experimental skill. Triangular spreading rods are frequently used in experiments. For the disinfection of triangular spreading rods, the common method is to first soak them in 95% alcohol and then burn them in the outer flame of an alcohol lamp. For traditional alcohol containers, round-bottom beakers are often used. However, the structure of a round-bottom beaker does not fit the triangular coating rod, resulting in the following four drawbacks: First, the overall structure of the beaker does not conform to the flat shape of the triangular coating rod, so a large amount of alcohol often needs to be poured into the round-bottom beaker to reach the effective coating area of ​​the triangular coating rod. Second, when the coating rod is placed in the beaker, a relatively long portion of the handle of the triangular coating rod protrudes, making the whole thing very easy to become unbalanced and tip over. Coupled with the large amount of alcohol poured in, this poses a significant safety hazard. Third, during microbiological experiments, especially for beginners unfamiliar with the experimental procedures, they may become flustered. If the coating rod, which is still burning, is accidentally placed into the beaker, it will immediately cause a fire, which is extremely dangerous. Fourth, the coating rod is inserted vertically into the beaker, and each time it is taken out, it requires frequent lifting of the hand, which can easily cause fatigue.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical issues, a container for storing coating rods is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a coating rod storage container, comprising a container body and a lid, characterized in that a hinge seat is provided at the rear of the container body, which is movably connected to a first pair of connecting ears and a second pair of connecting ears provided at the rear of the lid; the container body is provided with two limiting ports, the lid is provided with two limiting grooves, and a torsion spring is provided between the limiting ports and the limiting grooves to realize the automatic rebound of the lid;

[0005] The lower end of the cover is provided with a rectangular protrusion, and a U-shaped recess is provided at the bottom of the rectangular protrusion. Two L-shaped buckles are provided on both sides of the U-shaped recess.

[0006] The front wall of the container body is provided with a lock body, and a pressable unlock button is provided inside the lock body. A connecting rod is provided behind the unlock button. The lock body is provided with two movable slots. The connecting rod is connected to the slots. When the unlock button is pressed, the connecting rod is driven to move the slots, and at the same time, the compression spring sleeved at the rear of the connecting rod is deformed. The lock body is provided with corresponding spring limiting plates and connecting rod limiting plates. Two circular holes are provided on the upper surface of the lock body.

[0007] Furthermore, the container body is a thin-walled hollow cuboid structure.

[0008] Furthermore, a rectangular boss is provided inside the container body, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the container body; the upper surface of the rectangular boss is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and the axis of the arc-shaped groove is parallel to the length direction of the rectangular boss.

[0009] Furthermore, suction cups are provided at the bottom of the container body, symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the bottom.

[0010] Furthermore, a thin-walled triangular hollow columnar structure is provided on the right side of the container body, and the outer wall of the right side of the container body is fixedly connected to the thin-walled triangular hollow columnar structure.

[0011] Furthermore, a U-shaped pit is provided on the front wall of the container body.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the container body is provided with a rectangular baffle that surrounds the entire circumference.

[0013] The advantages of the utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0014] 1. It makes efficient use of the spatial structure, reduces the amount of alcohol used, and fits the flat structural features of the coating rod. A small amount of alcohol can be injected into the container body to completely soak the effective triangular coating area of ​​the coating rod.

[0015] 2. Dual-function integration: It realizes both alcohol immersion and storage functions, providing a suitable storage area for the coating rod after the experiment is completed, thus integrating the immersion and storage of the coating rod.

[0016] 3. To safeguard the safety of laboratory personnel, this utility model provides a coating rod storage container with a spring-loaded cap. If the alcohol inside the container is accidentally ignited, the cap can be quickly closed to isolate oxygen and extinguish the flame, thereby ensuring the safety of the laboratory operator.

[0017] 4. Reduce alcohol evaporation: The container with a lid provided by this utility model can be closed when not in use, which can reduce excessive alcohol evaporation compared to the traditional open storage method.

[0018] 5. Anti-tipping and more stable: The four suction cups added to the bottom of the container can firmly adhere to the surface of the experimental workbench, which can effectively prevent the experimenter from accidentally tipping it over during the experiment.

[0019] 6. The more ergonomic design saves time and effort. The rectangular protrusion at the bottom of the container body has an arc-shaped groove, and the front wall of the container body has a U-shaped pit, which effectively regulates the position of the coating rod, making it more time-saving and convenient for the experimenter to pick up during the experiment.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1-6 This invention will be described in detail below.

[0027] This utility model provides a coating rod storage container, including a container body 1 and a lid 2. The container body 1 and lid 2 are movably connected by a hinge seat 101 at the rear of the container body 1 and a first pair of connecting ears 201 and a second pair of connecting ears 202 at the rear of the lid 2. A rectangular protrusion 205 is provided at the lower part of the lid 2, and a U-shaped recess 206 is provided at the lower part of the rectangular protrusion. A pair of L-shaped buckles 207 are provided on both sides of the U-shaped recess. A limiting opening 102 is provided at the upper part of the container body 1. A corresponding limiting groove 203 is provided on the lid 2. The limiting opening 102 and the limiting groove 203 correspond to each other and are used to place a torsion spring 204, thereby realizing the automatic opening of the lid. A lock body 3 is provided at the front of the container body 1. Inside the lock body 3 is an unlocking button 301, and behind the unlocking button 301 is a connecting rod 302. The connecting rod 302 is linked to two slots 304. Driving the connecting rod 302 causes the slots 304 to translate, deforming the compression spring 303 located behind the connecting rod 302. Simultaneously, a corresponding spring limiting plate 306 and a connecting rod limiting plate 307 are provided inside the lock body 3 to limit the range of motion of the compression spring 303 and the connecting rod 302. Two circular holes 305 are provided on the upper surface of the lock body 3. When the lid 2 is closed, a pair of L-shaped buckles 207 on the lid 2 can pass through the circular holes 305 on the upper surface of the lock body 3 and slide into the slots 304. Four suction cups 103 are provided at the bottom of the container body 1, symmetrically distributed at the four corners. A thin-walled triangular hollow columnar structure 4 is provided on the right side of the outer wall of the container body 1, which can be used to place a triangular coating rod at the end of the experiment. A rectangular boss 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the container body 1, and an arc-shaped groove 6 is provided on the surface of the rectangular boss 5. A U-shaped pit 7 is provided at the front of the container body 1. A rectangular baffle 8 is provided on the inner wall of the container body 1, surrounding the inner wall of the container body 1.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Under normal experimental conditions, the working principle of the coating rod storage container is as follows: When in use, place the container body 1 on the experimental workbench and apply slight pressure to press the container body 1, causing the suction cup 103 at the bottom to firmly adhere to the workbench, preventing the container body 1 from tipping over. Pressing the unlock button 301 at the front of the container body 1 causes the unlock button 301 to push the connecting rod 302, deforming the compression spring 303. Simultaneously, the connecting rod drives the locking slot 304, causing a pair of L-shaped latches 207 on the lid 2 to slide out of their corresponding slots 304. During this process, the range of motion of the compression spring 303 and the connecting rod 302 is limited by the spring limiting plate 306 and the connecting rod limiting plate 307 inside the lock body 3. The torsion spring 204, located in the limiting opening 102 of the container body 1 and the limiting groove 203 of the lid 2, provides the driving force, causing the lid 2 to automatically pop up. A small amount of alcohol is injected into the open container body 1. The triangular coating rod to be soaked is placed in the arc-shaped groove 6 on the rectangular boss 5 on the container body 1. The arc-shaped groove 6 restricts the range of movement of the triangular coating rod. The U-shaped pit 7 at the front end of the container body 1 provides support for the long handle of the triangular coating rod and restricts the range of movement of the long handle of the triangular coating rod.

[0030] Effects: (1) A small amount of alcohol is sufficient to completely soak the effective coating area of ​​the triangular coating rod. (2) The bottom suction cup 103 firmly adheres to the experimental work surface, effectively preventing the container body 1 containing liquid alcohol from tipping over. (3) It effectively regulates the movement range of the triangular coating rod and provides a comfortable angle for handling.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] In case of an emergency such as the end of an experiment or the alcohol inside the container being ignited, the working principle of the coating rod storage container is as follows: After completing the experiment, the triangular coating rod can be placed into the thin-walled triangular hollow columnar structure 4 on the right side of the container body 1 as a temporary storage area to prepare for the next experiment. At the same time, the lid 2 is pressed down, so that a pair of L-shaped buckles 207 at the front of the lid 2 pass through the two circular holes 305 at the top of the lock body 3 and squeeze the corresponding slots 304, driving the connecting rod 302 to deform the compression spring 303, so that the two L-shaped buckles 207 slide into the corresponding slots 304. At the same time, the compression spring 303 returns to its original shape, and the lid 2 closes. This process is limited by the rectangular baffle 8 on the inner wall of the container body 1 to restrict the maximum closing angle of the lid 2.

[0033] When the triangular coating rod in its burning state ignites the alcohol inside the container, it remains inside the container body 1. The lid 2 is then quickly pressed down. Because the movement of the triangular coating rod is restricted by the arc-shaped groove 6 in the container body 1 and the U-shaped pit 7 on the front wall of the container body 1, the rectangular protrusion 205 at the front of the lid 2, in its closed state, covers most of the opening of the U-shaped pit 7. Simultaneously, the U-shaped recess 206 on the lid 2 and the arc-shaped part of the U-shaped pit 7 together form an elliptical hole, which not only provides space for the long handle of the triangular coating rod but also instantly isolates most of the oxygen, achieving the purpose of instantly extinguishing the flame inside the container body 1.

[0034] Effects: (1) Provides a suitable place for the triangular coating rod after the experiment, preparing for the next experiment. (2) After the experiment is completed, the excessive evaporation of alcohol can be reduced by closing the lid 2. (3) In case of emergency where the alcohol in the container body 1 is ignited, the lid 2 can be quickly closed to isolate oxygen and thus extinguish the flame inside the container body 1.

[0035] As a further explanation of the utility model, the container body 1 is generally designed as a thin-walled rectangular hollow structure.

[0036] As a further description of the utility model, a rectangular boss 5 is provided inside the container body 1, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the container body 1; an arc-shaped groove 6 is provided on the upper surface of the rectangular boss 5, and the axis of the arc-shaped groove 6 is parallel to the length direction of the rectangular boss 5.

[0037] As a further description of the utility model, the bottom of the container body 1 is provided with four suction cups 103, which are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the container body 1.

[0038] As a further explanation of the utility model, a thin-walled triangular hollow columnar structure 4 is provided on the right side of the container body 1.

[0039] As a further explanation of the utility model, a U-shaped pit 7 is provided on the front wall of the container body 1.

[0040] As a further explanation of the utility model, a rectangular baffle 8 is provided on the inner wall of the container body 1, and the rectangular baffle 8 surrounds the inner wall of the container body 1.

[0041] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
