When the box cover swings to cover the top face of the movable box, the bottom of the pressure stabilizing assembly arranged in the box cover abuts against the bottle cap of the sample bottle, the situation that the bottle cap of the sample bottle is opened accidentally is avoided under the condition that the pressure stabilizing assembly is pressed downwards, and then the problem that existing sample bottles are different in height and width and cannot be matched with the design of a containing groove arranged in a large box is solved. The risk of microorganism escape in the transportation process is easily caused, and finally, environmental microorganism safety threats are possibly caused.

Description

A microbial sample transport device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample transportation technology, specifically to a microbial sample transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] The transportation of microbial samples is a crucial step in ensuring ecological assessment and pollution source tracing. Environmental samples, such as soil, water, and airborne particles, must be transported from sampling points to specialized laboratories. Standardized procedures are used to maintain sample stability and prevent external interference that could alter the microbial community structure. Strict temperature control and contamination prevention measures must be implemented during transportation, adhering to biosafety standards to ensure that the test data accurately reflects the environmental baseline, supporting pollution control, ecological protection, and public health risk assessment.

[0003] Current methods for transporting microbial samples suffer from incompatibility issues. Conventional solutions employ a standardized large box with built-in placement slots, secured by the box lid to prevent leakage. However, in practice, variations in sample bottle height and width—such as short bottles not reaching the box lid or narrow bottles having excessive gaps between themselves and the placement slots—lead to two types of risks:

[0004] 1. Short bottles lack effective top pressure, making the caps prone to loosening;

[0005] 2. Width mismatch causes lateral displacement, resulting in decreased overall stability.

[0006] The aforementioned sample bottles have differences in height and width, making them unsuitable for the design of the large box's internal placement slot. This could easily lead to the risk of microbial escape during transportation, potentially posing a threat to environmental microbial safety. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a microbial sample transportation device to solve the technical problem that existing sample bottles have differences in height and width, making them unsuitable for the design of large boxes with built-in placement slots. This can easily lead to the risk of microbial escape during transportation, which may ultimately pose a threat to environmental microbial safety.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0009] A microbial sample transport device includes a mobile box with multiple placement slots inside. A clamping assembly is provided at the bottom of each placement slot for clamping sample bottles. A protective cover is rotatably connected to the top of the mobile box, and a pressure stabilizing assembly is provided through the protective cover. The bottom of the pressure stabilizing assembly abuts against the cap of the sample bottle.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the clamping assembly includes mutually symmetrical arc-shaped blocks, a push block is connected to one side of the arc-shaped blocks, a receiving cylinder is sleeved on the outer periphery of the push block, a first spring is provided on the inner side wall of the receiving cylinder, and the other end of the first spring is connected to the other end of the push block.

[0011] A further technical solution is that a friction pad is provided on one side of the concave surface of the arc-shaped block.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the voltage stabilizing component includes a polyhedron disposed inside the protective cover, with a lead screw at the bottom end. The bottom end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the bottom surface inside the protective cover. A sliding block is sleeved on the outer periphery of the lead screw. A symmetrical push rod is disposed on the bottom surface of the sliding block. A cover is connected to the bottom end of the push rod. The cover is used to cover the cap of the sample bottle.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the top surface of the polyhedron is provided with a cover plate, and the cover plate is connected to the protective cover in a flip-top manner.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the bottom of the mobile box is equipped with a sterilization mechanism, which includes an infusion pump. A storage tank is located on the side of the infusion pump, and the outlet of the storage tank is connected to the infusion pump input. A connecting pipe is provided above the infusion pump and the storage tank. The inlet of the connecting pipe is connected to the outlet of the infusion pump through a right-angle pipe. Multiple vertical pipes are distributed on the top surface of the connecting pipe. The bottom end of each vertical pipe is connected to the connecting pipe, and the top end extends out of the top surface inside the mobile box and is equipped with a spray head.

[0015] A further technical solution is that the storage tank is connected to an infusion tube, which is used to receive disinfectant solution flowing into the storage tank, and the top of the infusion tube is provided with a spiral sealing cap.

[0016] A further technical solution is that a locking mechanism is provided between the box cover and the movable box. The locking mechanism includes a hook plate and a sliding plate. One side of the sliding plate is fixedly connected to the protective cover. The top of the hook plate extends into the sliding plate. The inner top surface of the sliding plate is connected to the top surface of the hook plate through a second spring. The inner wall of the movable box is provided with a locking part that rotates. The bottom end of the hook plate is locked with the locking part.

[0017] A further technical solution is that the latching part includes a latching block, which is connected to a rotating block disposed on the inner wall of the movable box. A bent rod is hinged to one side of the latching block, and a bent cylinder is disposed on the inner wall of the movable box. A pressing plate is disposed at one end of the bent rod, and a third spring is connected to the pressing plate. The other end of the third spring is connected to the inner wall of the bent cylinder. A limiting member is disposed on the side of the rotating block and abuts against the inner wall of the movable box.

[0018] A further technical solution is that the movable box is provided with a push-pull rod on its side.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. Place the sample bottle into the placement slot, with the bottom of the sample bottle in contact with the bottom surface of the slot. Simultaneously, the clamping component holds the bottom of the sample bottle, providing cushioning. When the lid swings to cover the top of the moving box, the bottom of the pressure-stabilizing component inside the lid abuts against the sample bottle cap. This pressure-stabilizing component prevents the sample bottle cap from accidentally opening, thus solving the technical problem of existing sample bottles with varying heights and widths being unable to fit into the large box's internal placement slot design, easily leading to the risk of microbial escape during transportation and potentially threatening environmental microbial safety.

[0021] 2. The sterilization mechanism disinfects the transfer box and its lid to prevent bacteria from growing on the outside of the sample bottles and affecting the cleanliness of the transfer box and the surrounding environment of the sample bottles. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are provided below, and the utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, this utility model provides a microbial sample transport device, including a mobile box 1, a plurality of placement slots 2 inside the mobile box 1, a clamping component at the bottom of the placement slot 2, the clamping component is used to clamp sample bottles 3, a protective cover 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the mobile box 1, a pressure stabilizing component is inserted through the protective cover 4, and the bottom of the pressure stabilizing component abuts against the sample bottle cap.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom of the mobile box 1 is provided with at least 4 casters, which facilitate driving the mobile box 1 to a designated position.

[0032] Specifically, sample bottle 3 is placed into placement slot 2, with the bottom surface of sample bottle 3 contacting the bottom surface of placement slot 2. Simultaneously, a clamping assembly clamps the lower part of sample bottle 3, providing cushioning. When the lid swings to cover the top of the moving box 1, the bottom of the pressure stabilizing component built into the lid abuts against the cap of sample bottle 3. Under the downward pressure of the pressure stabilizing component, the cap of sample bottle 3 is prevented from accidentally opening. This solves the technical problem of existing sample bottles 3 having height and width differences that cannot be adapted to the design of the placement slot 2 inside the large box, easily leading to the risk of microbial escape during transportation and potentially posing a threat to environmental microbial safety.

[0033] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes mutually symmetrical arc-shaped blocks 5, a push block 6 connected to one side of the arc-shaped blocks 5, a receiving cylinder 7 sleeved on the outer periphery of the push block 6, a first spring 8 provided on the inner side wall of the receiving cylinder 7, and the other end of the first spring 8 connected to the other end of the push block 6.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the sample bottle 3 is inserted into the placement slot 2, the bottom surface of the sample bottle 3 pushes open the arc-shaped block 5, and the pusher block 6 connected to the arc-shaped block 5 compresses the first spring 8 into the receiving cylinder 7. After the arc-shaped block 5 has finished clamping the sample bottle 3, the first spring 8 releases its potential energy, and the arc-shaped block 5 elastically clamps the sample bottle 3. During the transportation process of the moving box 1, it can buffer the sample bottle 3 and prevent the sample bottle 3 from hitting the inner wall of the placement slot 2.

[0035] Furthermore, a friction pad is provided on one side of the concave surface of the arc-shaped block 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, the friction pad can be a rubber pad. Using a rubber pad can increase the friction between the arc-shaped block 5 and the sample bottle 3, thereby improving the protective properties of the sample bottle 3 during transportation.

[0037] Preferably, the pressure stabilizing component includes a polyhedron 9 disposed inside the protective cover 4, a lead screw 10 disposed at the bottom end, the bottom end of the lead screw 10 being rotatably connected to the bottom surface inside the protective cover 4, a sliding block 11 being sleeved on the outer periphery of the lead screw 10, a symmetrical push rod 12 disposed on the bottom surface of the sliding block 11, and a cover 13 being connected to the bottom end of the push rod 12, the cover 13 being used to cover the cap of the sample bottle 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the polyhedron 9 is viewed from above as a hexagon. After the protective cover 4 is stably connected to the movable box 1, the polyhedron 9 cover is welded using an external WJZ1601D lithium-ion drill or the polyhedron 9 is manually rotated using a wrench. The polyhedron 9 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, which in turn moves the sliding block 11 on the outer circumference of the lead screw 10, causing the push rod 12 and the cover 13 to slide down towards the top surface of the bottle cap until the inner top surface of the cover 13 contacts the bottle cap. If the sample bottle 3 is relatively short, the polyhedron 9 and the lead screw 10 are rotated to continue sliding the sliding block 11 and the push rod 12 down.

[0039] Preferably, the top surface of the polyhedron 9 is provided with a cover plate 14, and the cover plate 14 is connected to the protective cover 4 in a flip-top manner.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the rotation of the polyhedron 9 is completed, the polyhedron 9 is covered by a flip-top cover plate 14 to prevent dust from falling into the protective cover 4.

[0041] Preferably, the movable box 1 is provided with a push-pull rod 33 on its side. The movable box 1 can be easily pulled to a designated position by gripping the push-pull rod 33.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Referring to Figure 1, as a further improvement of Embodiment 1, the bottom of the mobile box 1 is provided with a sterilization mechanism, which includes an infusion pump 15. A storage tank 16 is provided on the side of the infusion pump 15. The output port of the storage tank 16 is connected to the input end of the infusion pump 15. A connecting pipe 17 is provided above the infusion pump 15 and the storage tank 16. The input end of the connecting pipe 17 is connected to the output end of the infusion pump 15 through a right-angle pipe 18. Multiple vertical pipes 19 are distributed on the top surface of the connecting pipe 17. The bottom end of the vertical pipes 19 is connected to the connecting pipe 17, and the top end extends out of the inner top surface of the mobile box 1 and is provided with a spray head 20.

[0044] It should be noted that the infusion pump 15 can be a GL-805 benchtop aspirator.

[0045] In this embodiment, the infusion pump 15 is turned on, and the sterilizing solution in the storage tank 16 is drawn and sequentially passed through the right-angle tube 18, the connecting tube 17, and the spray head 20, and output to the top surface of the mobile box 1 and the sides of the sample bottle 3. The sterilizing solution is sprayed to disinfect the area between the mobile box 1 and the box lid, preventing bacteria from growing on the outer periphery of the sample bottle 3 and affecting the cleanliness of the surrounding environment of the mobile box 1 and the sample bottle 3.

[0046] Preferably, the storage tank 16 is connected to an infusion tube 21, which is used to receive disinfectant solution into the storage tank 16, and the top of the infusion tube 21 is provided with a spiral sealing cap 22.

[0047] In this embodiment, when sterilization solution needs to be added, the spiral sealing cap 22 is opened, and the sterilization solution is poured into the storage tank 16 through the infusion tube 21 for subsequent use.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, as a further improvement of Embodiment 1, a locking mechanism is provided between the box cover and the movable box 1. The locking mechanism includes a hook plate 23 and a sliding plate 24. One side of the sliding plate 24 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 4. The top of the hook plate 23 extends into the sliding plate 24. The inner top surface of the sliding plate 24 is connected to the top surface of the hook plate 23 through a second spring 25. The inner wall of the movable box 1 is provided with a locking part for rotation. The bottom end of the hook plate 23 is locked with the locking part.

[0050] In this embodiment, after the protective cover 4 swings and is stably sealed to the top of the moving box 1, the hook plate 23 descends, pressing down on the second spring 25 at its top. Simultaneously, the bottom of the hook plate 23 moves vertically downwards. After contacting the locking block 26, the locking block 26 swings due to the rotation of the rotating block 27 and enters the inner wall of the moving box 1 through the pressing locking part. When the bottom of the hook plate 23 has completely passed through the locking block 26, the locking block 26 is released by the locking part, and the hook plate 23 is released. The hook plate 23 is pulled up by the second spring 25, so that the bottom of the hook plate 23 is stably locked with the locking block 26, preventing the protective cover 4 from accidentally opening during transportation and affecting the stable transportation effect of the sample bottle 3.

[0051] Preferably, the locking part includes a locking block 26, which is connected to a rotating block 27 disposed on the inner wall of the movable box 1. A bent rod 28 is hinged to one side of the locking block 26. A bent cylinder 29 is disposed on the inner wall of the movable box 1. A pressing plate 30 is disposed at one end of the bent rod 28. A third spring 31 is connected to the pressing plate 30. The other end of the third spring 31 is connected to the inner wall of the bent cylinder 29. A limiting member 32 is disposed on the side of the rotating block 27 and abuts against the inner wall of the movable box 1.

[0052] In this embodiment, after the locking block 26 is pressed by the bottom end of the hook plate 23, its top end swings into the inner wall of the movable box 1 via the rotating block 27, while the pressing rod 28 and the pressing plate 30 slide into the curved cylinder 29. The pressing plate 30 then presses the third spring 31, causing the locking block 26 to enter the inner wall of the movable box 1, facilitating the vertical sliding of the hook plate 23. When the bottom end of the hook plate 23 has completely passed through the locking block 26, the third spring 31 releases the locking block 26 and the hook plate 23. The hook plate 23 is then pulled up by the second spring 25, and the limiting member 32 on the side of the rotating block 27 abuts against the inner wall plane of the movable box 1, so that the bottom of the hook plate 23 engages with the locking block 26. After the rotating block 27 is restricted from rotating by the limiting member 32, the hook plate 23 and the locking block 26 are stably engaged. When it is necessary to open, pull down the hook plate 23 and press the locking block 26 into the inner wall of the movable box 1. Then, gradually raise the hook plate 23 until the bottom of the hook plate 23 is aligned with the side of the locking block 26. Then, release the hook plate 23 and the locking block 26. The second spring 25 will continue to pull the hook plate 23 up so that the hook plate 23 is completely separated from the locking block 26, making it easier to open the protective cover 4 later.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
