Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photographic signage technology, specifically relating to a photographic signage for soil samples from archaeological exploration. Background Technology
[0002] Archaeological exploration is a crucial means of exploring ancient civilizations and revealing historical truths. Accurate marking and recording of collected soil samples during exploration is fundamental for subsequent analysis, research, and preservation. However, traditional soil sample marking methods have many shortcomings, severely impacting the efficiency and quality of exploration work. Traditional methods rely on taking photos in the field and then using software for post-processing and marking. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also highly prone to marking errors. Due to the complex and variable field environment, the large number of soil samples, and the influence of factors such as shooting angle and lighting, it is often difficult to accurately identify the specific location and number of each soil sample during post-processing, leading to chaotic marking and causing significant difficulties for subsequent research.
[0003] A search revealed a patent with authorization announcement number CN 220271712 U, which discloses a photographic tag for soil samples used in archaeological exploration. The tag consists of two parts: a base plate and a tag, both being square flat plates of varying sizes. The base plate is divided into five areas: a soil sample stratigraphic marking area, an exploration unit marking area, a borehole number marking area, a soil sample placement area, and a scale. The soil sample stratigraphic marking area, exploration unit marking area, and borehole number marking area are all magnetically attached. The tag has markings on the front and a magnetic strip on the back.
[0004] The aforementioned patent has the following drawbacks: The signs require magnetic attachment to the base plate, which is not only cumbersome to operate, but also results in a large number of signs that are bulky and inconvenient to carry. Furthermore, the signs come in both numerical and alphanumeric styles, requiring frequent changes, increasing operational complexity and time costs. More importantly, these signs are easily lost or damaged in the field, posing a safety hazard to exploration work. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a photographic marker for soil samples used in archaeological exploration, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A photographic label for soil samples from archaeological exploration includes:
[0008] A base plate, with a soil sample placement area provided on one side of the base plate;
[0009] The marking component includes a mounting plate, a T-shaped groove on one side of the mounting plate, a T-shaped block movably mounted inside the T-shaped groove, a fixing plate fixedly mounted on one side of the T-shaped block, a plurality of display screens fixedly mounted on one side of the fixing plate, and a baffle movably mounted on one side of the T-shaped groove.
[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate is installed on one side of the base plate, a T-shaped groove is provided on one side of the mounting plate, a T-shaped block is movably installed on one side of the mounting plate, the T-shaped block is inserted into the T-shaped groove, a fixing plate is fixedly installed on the side of the T-shaped block away from the mounting plate, and several display screens are fixedly installed on the side of the fixing plate away from the T-shaped block.
[0011] Preferably, a rotating shaft is movably mounted on the side of the mounting plate near the T-slot via a bearing, and a baffle is fixedly mounted on one side of the rotating shaft.
[0012] Preferably, a gear is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating shaft, and a retaining strip is movably installed on the side of the mounting plate near the gear via a bearing, the retaining strip being embedded in one side of the gear.
[0013] Preferably, two support plates are fixedly installed on the mounting plate near the card strip. The two support plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the card strip, and each support plate is connected to the card strip by a spring.
[0014] Preferably, the baffle is attached to one side of the T-shaped block.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] (1) This utility model uses an electronic display screen to replace the traditional physical sign, realizing the real-time editing and updating of the marking content. Users only need to operate a simple button to input the corresponding soil sample number, description information or special mark on the display screen, without having to do tedious post-processing work. This not only greatly shortens the marking time and improves work efficiency, but also effectively avoids marking errors caused by human factors and ensures the accuracy of marking. The adjustment buttons on the display screen are designed to be intuitive and easy to understand. Users can easily get started without professional training. This not only simplifies the operation process and reduces the difficulty of operation, but also effectively reduces the burden on staff and improves the overall exploration efficiency.
[0017] (2) This utility model achieves quick assembly and disassembly of the fixing plate through the cooperation of the T-slot and the T-block, which facilitates subsequent maintenance of the display screen and extends the service life of the system. At the same time, a movable baffle is set on one side of the T-slot. The baffle blocks one side of the T-slot, which can prevent the T-block from accidentally sliding out of the T-slot due to external force. This not only ensures the stability of the sign in physical position, but also indirectly improves the accuracy of marking. Since the sign will not be displaced or fall off due to external interference during the exploration process, users can focus more on the input and verification of the marking content when taking soil samples, without worrying about marking errors caused by changes in the position of the sign.
