Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of collection box technology, specifically relating to a sampling box for collecting and transporting feces. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in ecological and disease research on wild animals, especially giant pandas, fecal samples are widely used as important non-invasive biomaterials for DNA analysis, microbial community detection, parasite monitoring, and hormone level assessment. Therefore, the integrity, non-contamination, and preservation of fecal samples directly affect the accuracy of research data. However, current techniques for collecting and transporting animal feces mostly rely on ordinary plastic boxes or simple containers, which presents several prominent problems:

[0003] Firstly, existing sampling containers are usually a single unit. In actual field collection, sampling personnel need to frequently lift the entire container to move it to different sampling points, which not only increases the workload but also easily causes samples to spill or cross-contaminate due to dragging, affecting collection efficiency and sample quality.

[0004] Secondly, collected fecal samples often cannot be immediately placed in the laboratory environment and require a certain period of storage and transportation. Traditional sampling boxes lack effective refrigeration measures, which can easily cause changes in the metabolic products, microbial structure, and bioactive substances in feces, leading to inaccurate experimental data. The stability of sample preservation is particularly worrying in summer or high-temperature environments.

[0005] Third, the mixed placement of sampling tools and samples is also quite common. Existing sampling boxes lack scientific zoning design in terms of internal structure, which leads to the risk of cross-contamination between sampling equipment and fecal samples, and is not conducive to the standardization and management of the overall sampling process.

[0006] In summary, existing devices for animal feces collection and transportation still have significant room for improvement in terms of structure, functionality, ease of operation, and sample protection. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sampling box for fecal collection and transportation. This fecal sampling box is structurally sound, easy to operate, and has a refrigeration function, so as to meet the requirements for high-quality, pollution-free fecal sample collection and preservation.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A sampling box for collecting and transporting feces includes a box body, two pull-out boxes that can be pulled out one above the other are installed on the right side of the box body, and multiple trays stacked on top of each other are provided inside the pull-out boxes. Cooling boxes are installed on the left and right sides of the trays inside the pull-out boxes.

[0010] The upper surface of the tray has multiple placement slots for placing samples, and multiple evenly distributed support platforms are fixed on the upper surface of the tray. The upper surface of the tray also has a cold storage tank for placing ice packs. A sealing cap is installed at the port of the cold storage tank, and a cooling channel is provided between the cold storage tank and the placement slots. A rotatable flip cover is installed at the port of the placement slots. Lifting straps are fixed on both the front and rear sides of the tray.

[0011] Furthermore, a storage compartment is provided at the top of the box, and a lid is installed at the top of the box to close the storage compartment. A partition is provided on the inside of the storage compartment.

[0012] Furthermore, a retractable pull rod is fixed to the left side of the box, and evenly distributed casters are fixed to the lower end of the box.

[0013] Furthermore, the pallet is made of foam board, and the placement groove on the pallet is set as a circular groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting strap is an elastic band, and both ends of the lifting strap are fixedly connected to the tray.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper end of the cooling box is open, and the side of the cooling box facing the tray has evenly arranged ventilation holes, and ice packs are placed inside the cooling box.

[0016] Furthermore, the ice packs inside the cooling box are made into vertical strips, and multiple baffles that evenly separate the ice packs are fixed on the inside of the cooling box.

[0017] Furthermore, a handle hole is provided near the top of the side of the cooling box facing the tray, and protruding retaining strips are fixed to both the left and right ends of the cooling box.

[0018] Furthermore, the left and right side walls inside the pull-out box are provided with slots that cooperate with the card strip, and the front and rear sides of the pull-out box are installed inside the box body via guide rails.

[0019] Furthermore, a baffle is fixed to the right end of the pull-out box, and a handle is fixed to the outer side of the baffle.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This invention features multiple stackable trays on the inside of a pull-out box, each of which can be independently extracted and carried. Combined with lifting straps on both sides of the trays, this design avoids the need for frequent movement of the entire box during actual sampling. It effectively solves the problems of inconvenient handling, heavy workload, and easy sample spillage associated with existing sampling boxes, thereby improving field sampling efficiency, reducing workload, and enhancing the reliability and stability of sample collection.

[0022] This invention, by setting multiple placement slots with flip-top covers on the tray, enables the classified collection and separate sealing of giant panda feces from different sampling points. The flip-top structure prevents the ingress of external foreign objects, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. The placement slots are designed as circular slots, which can stably support irregularly shaped samples. Combined with the shock absorption and heat insulation functions of the foam tray itself, it achieves preliminary protection of samples during the collection stage, effectively solving the problems of chaotic sample collection, poor sealing, and insufficient protection capabilities in existing sampling equipment.

[0023] This invention achieves sample cooling by setting a cold storage tank on the tray and filling it with ice packs. The cold air released by the ice packs is transmitted to the surrounding area of ​​the placement tank through a refrigeration channel. Refrigeration boxes are set on both sides of the pull-out box. The interior of the refrigeration boxes is also filled with ice packs and releases cold air to the tray area through vents. Support platforms are set between multiple trays to form cold air channels, allowing cold air to enter the gap space between the trays. This achieves uniform refrigeration of multi-layer samples, effectively solving the problem of sample storage and transportation without refrigeration protection and easy deterioration in traditional sampling devices. It improves the retention rate of sample biological activity and the accuracy of subsequent experiments.

[0024] This utility model features an independent storage chamber on the casing, with additional partitions inside to divide the space. This allows for the categorized storage of sampling tools, preventing cross-contamination caused by direct contact between sampling tools and samples. It also improves the efficiency of item retrieval and effectively solves the problems of disorganized tools and lack of separation between samples and tools in traditional sampling equipment. This meets the standardization and cleanliness requirements of on-site fecal collection operations. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sampling box for collecting and transporting feces includes a box body 1. Two pull-out boxes 2 are installed on the right side of the box body 1. Multiple trays 6 are stacked on the inside of the pull-out boxes 2. The trays 6 are supported by a support platform 61 on the upper surface to ensure airflow and facilitate the independent use of individual trays 6. Cooling boxes 7 are installed on both the left and right sides of the trays 6 inside the pull-out boxes 2. The cooling boxes 7 are used to provide a stable airflow after sample collection to prevent the degradation of bioactive substances in fecal samples due to temperature rise during transportation, thereby improving the stability and safety of sample preservation.

[0034] As shown in the attached diagram, the upper surface of the tray 6 has multiple placement slots 62 for placing samples. These slots are multiple equally spaced circular grooves used to collect panda feces samples from different sampling points, preventing sample mixing. Multiple evenly distributed support platforms 61 are fixed to the upper surface of the tray 6 to maintain gaps between stacked trays 6, creating airflow paths to improve the penetration of cold air. The upper surface of the tray 6 also has a cold storage tank 67 for placing ice packs. A sealing cap 66 is installed at the port of the cold storage tank 67 to seal the storage tank. A cold storage tank 67 is provided to prevent cold air leakage; a refrigeration channel 65 is provided between the cold storage tank 67 and the placement tank 62, and the refrigeration channel 65 connects the ice pack and the sample chamber. Cold air is transported to the surface of the fecal sample through this channel for refrigeration treatment; a rotatable and openable flip cover 64 is installed at the port of the placement tank 62. The flip cover 64 is used to seal the placement tank 62 after the sample is collected to prevent foreign objects from entering and cross-contamination; lifting straps 63 are fixed on both the front and rear sides of the tray 6. The lifting straps 63 are used to lift the tray 6 separately to avoid carrying the entire box 1 for movement, thereby improving the efficiency of field sampling.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a storage chamber 3 is provided at the upper end of the box 1. The storage chamber 3 is used to store sampling spoons, gloves, labels and other operating tools, keeping them separate from the samples to avoid contamination. A lid is installed at the upper end of the box 1 to seal the storage chamber 3. When the lid is closed, it can prevent rainwater, dust and other substances from entering the storage chamber 3 and ensure the cleanliness of the tools. A partition 5 is provided on the inner side of the storage chamber 3. The partition 5 divides the internal space into multiple independent areas for classifying and storing different types of sampling tools, further improving retrieval efficiency and operational standardization.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a retractable pull rod 4 is fixed on the left side of the box 1. The pull rod 4 facilitates the operator to pull the sampling box when moving it over long distances, reducing the burden of manual handling. The lower end of the box 1 is fixed with evenly distributed casters. The casters enable the sampling box to turn flexibly in different directions, adapt to the needs of moving in complex terrain in the field, and ensure efficient transfer between sampling points.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the tray 6 is made of foam board, which is lightweight, heat-insulating, and shock-resistant. It can effectively reduce the overall weight and provide basic insulation. The placement groove 62 on the tray 6 is set as a circular groove. The circular structure helps to stably accommodate spherical or irregular fecal samples, reduce sample sliding and contact area, and reduce the risk of contamination.

[0038] The lifting strap 63 is an elastic band. The elastic band has resilience during the extraction of the tray 6, making it easy to keep close to the tray 6 for recycling and carrying. Both ends of the lifting strap 63 are fixedly connected to the tray 6. The fixed structure prevents loosening during use and ensures stability and reliability when extracting the tray 6.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the cooling box 7 is open, which makes it easy for the operator to quickly put in and replace the ice pack; the side of the cooling box 7 facing the tray 6 has evenly arranged ventilation holes 71, which allow the cold air released by the ice pack to be smoothly conducted to the tray 6 and the placement slot 62 on it, so as to achieve directional cooling of the sample position.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the ice pack inside the cooling box 7 is made into a vertical strip shape. The strip-shaped ice pack fits the inner cavity structure of the cooling box 7, making the cooling energy distribution uniform and compact. Multiple baffles 73 are fixed on the inner side of the cooling box 7 to evenly separate the ice packs. The baffles 73 are used to limit the position of the ice packs to prevent them from shifting and improve the stability of the cooling system.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, a handle hole 74 is provided near the top of the side of the cooling box 7 facing the tray 6. The handle hole 74 makes it easy for the operator to quickly take out or replace the cooling box 7 from the pull-out box 2. Both the left and right ends of the cooling box 7 are fixed with protruding retaining strips 72. The retaining strips 72 are used to cooperate with the retaining grooves 22 in the pull-out box 2 to achieve stable positioning and prevent the cooling box 7 from shifting during transportation or vibration.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the left and right side walls of the inner side of the pull-out box 2 are provided with slots 22 that cooperate with the locking strip 72. After the slots 22 and the locking strip 72 are engaged, the cooling box 7 is stably embedded, preventing the cooling device from falling off when pulled out. The front and rear sides of the pull-out box 2 are installed on the inner side of the box body 1 through guide rails 21. The guide rails 21 are used to guide the pull-out box 2 to slide out or push in smoothly in the horizontal direction, improving the convenience of taking out the tray 6 and samples.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, a baffle is fixed to the right end of the pull-out box 2. The baffle prevents the tray 6 and the cooling box 7 from sliding out of the pull-out box 2 during the pulling process. A handle 23 is fixed on the outer side of the baffle. The handle 23 facilitates the overall pulling out and pushing of the pull-out box 2. When used with the guide rail 21, it can achieve stable operation and avoid secondary damage to the sample due to vibration.

[0044] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When collecting giant panda feces, the tray 6 can be taken out separately and carried using the lifting strap 63, without having to drag the entire box 1 back and forth. Then, the collected giant panda feces are placed in the placement slot 62, and the lid 64 is closed to seal the placement slot 62, thereby completing the anti-contamination protection of the collected giant panda feces. At this time, the ice pack in the cold storage tank 67 uses the refrigeration channel 65 to cool the giant panda feces, thereby completing the temporary cold storage protection during collection, making the collection of giant panda feces more convenient and the preservation more reliable. After the tray 6 is full, it is stacked inside the pull-out box 2 and the pull-out box 2 is closed. Then, the sampling tools are placed in the storage room 3 and classified and stored in the area separated by the partition 5, thereby completing the sampling of giant panda feces.

[0045] After the sample is placed, it is cooled by ice packs placed in the cooling box 7. The ice packs release cold air to the tray 6 through the vent 71. At the same time, multiple trays 6 are suspended and supported by the support platform 61, so that the cold air can be sent to the gap between two trays 6 for cooling, thus completing the cold storage protection during the transportation of giant panda feces.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
