With socio-economic development, scientific progress, and the improvement of people's living standards, people's requirements for drinking water quality are constantly increasing, and drinking water quality standards are also constantly developing and improving, requiring regular water quality testing.

[0003] In water quality testing, water samples are typically collected using water sampling equipment and stored in test tubes or other containers before being taken back to the research institute for testing. However, current water sampling equipment is bulky and heavy, making it difficult to carry when traveling to remote locations or hiking. It is also inconvenient to carry test tube storage boxes to store the test tubes. Some water samples need to be stored in the dark, otherwise some chemical substances in the water will undergo photodecomposition. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, a sealed environment can be formed between the storage tube body and the cap. Sampling is carried out by creating negative pressure by evacuating the tube, eliminating the need for additional collection equipment. Furthermore, a sliding arc-shaped light-shielding plate is connected to the side of the storage tube body to block light and prevent photodecomposition of the water sample inside the tube. This utility model proposes a sample storage tube for water quality testing.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application provides further details:

[0027] This application discloses a sample storage tube for water quality testing. (Refer to...) Figure 1The storage tube body 1 includes a placement part 107 integrally formed at the bottom of the storage tube body 1. The placement part 107 is equipped with a counterweight inside, which can lower the center of gravity. The bottom of the placement part 107 is also equipped with an anti-slip pad. Compared with ordinary test tubes with a hemispherical bottom, the storage tube body 1 can be placed directly on the table or the ground.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 A sampling cover mechanism 2 is provided above the storage tube body 1. The sampling cover mechanism 2 includes a cover 201. Both the storage tube body 1 and the cover 201 are made of high-density polyethylene plastic. The storage tube body 1 is about 12mm thick and is hard, and can withstand the pressure generated by atmospheric pressure after vacuuming.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The storage tube body 1 has an internal thread at the opening, and the lower part of the cover 201 has an external thread integrally formed. The storage tube body 1 has a support surface integrally formed at the opening with a rubber sealing gasket 103 installed on it. After the storage tube body 1 and the cover 201 are tightened, the gap between them can be sealed with the rubber sealing gasket 103.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An observation window 101 is provided on the side of the storage tube body 1. A colorless transparent acrylic plate is installed inside the observation window 101. The progress of obtaining the water sample can be observed through the observation window 101 during and before sampling.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 An arc-shaped light shield 102 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the observation window 101. A receiving groove 104 is provided on the side of the observation window 101, and the arc-shaped light shield 102 is inserted into the receiving groove 104. A push-pull part 105 is integrally formed on the outer side of the arc-shaped light shield 102. A ball-head plunger 106 is installed at the bottom of the observation window 101, and a positioning hole is correspondingly provided at the lower part of the push-pull part 105. After sampling is completed, the arc-shaped light shield 102 covers the entire observation window 101 by pushing the push-pull part 105 to the left, preventing sunlight from shining on the water sample in the storage tube body 1 and preventing some components in the water from photodecomposing. The ball-head plunger 106 can cooperate to hold the arc-shaped light shield 102 in place, reducing the misalignment of the arc-shaped light shield 102 due to bumps.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The upper surface of the cover 201 is provided with an arc-shaped sliding groove 202, and side grooves 206 are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped sliding groove 202. Side blocks 207 are integrally formed on both sides of the arc-shaped slider 204. The side blocks 207 are inserted into the inside of the side grooves 206. The surfaces of the arc-shaped sliding groove 202, the arc-shaped slider 204, the side grooves 206 and the side blocks 207 are all provided with waterproof sealing coating to seal the gaps in the sampling cover mechanism 2 and the gaps between the components to prevent air leakage.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bottom of the arc-shaped slide groove 202 is provided with a connection hole 203, which is connected to the storage tube body 1. The arc-shaped slider 204 is integrally formed with a connection port 205, which is connected to the connection hole 203. The arc-shaped slider 204 can slide in the arc-shaped slide groove 202 to cut off or connect the connection with the connection hole 203.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 A limiting plate 208 is bonded to the surface of the cover 201, and two sets of limiting plates 208 are provided. The limiting plate 208 presses on the upper surface of the arc-shaped slider 204. The limiting plate 208 can further press the connection between the arc-shaped slider 204 and the arc-shaped groove 202, further delaying the progress of air leakage.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The sides of the cover 201, the upper surface of the arc-shaped slider 204, and the outer side of the connection port 205 are all provided with anti-slip textures. The anti-slip textures on the sides of the cover 201 and the upper surface of the arc-shaped slider 204 facilitate their rotation. The anti-slip textures on the outer side of the connection port 205 increase the resistance to the connection with the external hose, thus preventing it from falling off. In addition, an LDPE barrier film 209 is installed on the inner side of the connection port 205. The LDPE barrier film 209 can be easily punctured, and the LDPE barrier film 209 seals the connection port 205.

[0036] Working Principle: This storage tube can be easily carried to remote or inaccessible sampling points. In actual use, first ensure the curved slider 204 is in close contact with the side of the curved groove 202, at which point the connection hole 203 and connection port 205 are sealed. Then, puncture the LDPE barrier film 209 inside the connection port 205, and connect the rubber hose to the connection port 205. Insert one end of the rubber hose into the water to be sampled, extending the hose end to the predetermined sampling depth. Then, rotate the curved slider. 204 is moved to the middle of the arc-shaped slide 202. At this time, the connecting hole 203 and the connecting port 205 are in a connected state. Water sample extraction begins. The sampling progress is observed through the observation window 101. After sampling is completed, the arc-shaped slider 204 is pushed to the edge of the arc-shaped slide 202 to achieve a seal. Then, by pushing the push-pull part 105 to the left, the arc-shaped light shield 102 covers the entire observation window 101 to prevent sunlight from shining on the water sample in the storage tube body 1 and to prevent some components in the water from photodecomposing. Finally, the storage tube is moved to the laboratory, the cover 201 is removed, and the water sample is poured out for testing.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
