Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reagent paper storage technology, and in particular to a novel test paper storage box. Background Technology
[0002] Water is the source of life, and humans cannot live without it in their daily lives and production activities. The quality of drinking water is closely related to human health, and people's requirements for drinking water quality are constantly increasing. Drinking water quality standards are also constantly developing and improving. When testing the pH of water, a pH test strip storage box is needed. However, the existing pH test strip storage boxes have poor moisture-proof performance, and pH test strips are easily damaged by moisture after being stored for a long time, which will affect the accuracy of pH testing.
[0003] Currently, Chinese patent CN221394818U discloses a test strip storage box for rapid testing kits, including a box body. A lid is hinged to one side of the box body. The lid has a pH colorimetric card and a rectangular groove on its top. A test strip tray is connected to the inner cavity of the rectangular groove via a sliding component. A drying chamber is located inside the lid, containing a desiccant. A drying opening is located at the bottom of the drying chamber. A clamping mechanism can hold and fix stacked pH test strips, preventing them from scattering. When testing water pH, the pH test strips are placed on top of the test strip tray. The tray is slid left and right to move the pH test strips to a position similar in color to the pH colorimetric card to read the test result. The operation is convenient and can be used specifically for testing kits. The desiccant dries and dehumidifies the pH test strips stored in the inner cavity of the box, preventing moisture damage and ensuring accurate pH testing.
[0004] The above-mentioned existing technical solutions have the following defects: the injection molded parts have tolerances, resulting in poor sealing of the box composed of end caps and shell; the desiccant itself absorbs moisture, and there is no way to prevent moisture from entering the box and affecting the test strips. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel test strip storage box to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A novel test strip storage box includes a rectangular shell and an end cap. The end cap is snapped onto the top of the rectangular shell, and the top of the rectangular shell is completely open. A through hole is provided on the top left side of the end cap, and a receiving groove is provided on the top left side of the end cap. The bottom of the receiving groove communicates with the through hole. A cover plate is movably installed on the bottom right side of the receiving groove. A sealing strip is provided around the periphery of the cover plate. The cover plate is snapped onto the top of the through hole. A slot is provided on the front side of the rectangular shell, and an indicator sticker is snapped into the slot.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing strip set around the periphery of the cover plate ensures airtightness when the cover plate is snapped onto the top of the through hole to seal it, preventing water vapor from entering the interior of the rectangular shell through the gap between the cover plate and the through hole, thus maintaining a relatively sealed space inside the rectangular shell and preventing the test paper contained inside the rectangular shell from deteriorating.
[0009] In a further embodiment, an annular groove is provided at the top of the through hole.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cover plate is pressed down so that it is completely stuck in the inner top of the through hole, part of the sealing strip is stuck in the annular groove, thus avoiding the problem of the cover plate springing back after being pressed down.
[0011] In a further embodiment, the inner bottom end of the end cap is provided with a plurality of rectangular protrusions evenly distributed around its circumference, the top wall thickness of the rectangular shell is thinner than the bottom wall thickness of the rectangular shell, and the outer side of the top end of the rectangular shell is provided with a slot corresponding to the rectangular protrusions.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to make the box composed of the rectangular shell and the end cap more aesthetically pleasing and smoother in appearance, the outer wall of the end cap should be consistent with the outer wall of the rectangular shell. Therefore, the top wall thickness of the rectangular shell needs to be set thinner, and the thinner dimension is the bottom thickness of the end cap.
[0013] In a further embodiment, a sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the end cap.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the top of the rectangular shell has a stepped surface, which fits against the bottom surface of the end cap. Therefore, the sealing ring is actually used to close the gap between the bottom of the end cap and the top of the stepped surface, further sealing the connection between the end cap and the rectangular shell, making the interior of the box formed by the end cap and the rectangular shell a sealed space. When the end cap is pressed into place, the rectangular protrusion is completely locked in the slot. If you want to remove the end cap at this time, you need to use a tool to pry up the bottom periphery of the end cap before you can remove it. Therefore, when the bottom periphery of the end cap is not pried up by a tool, the gap between the bottom of the end cap and the stepped surface is constant, so it can be sealed by the sealing ring.
[0015] In a further embodiment, a pull tab is bonded to the bottom left side of the cover plate, and the surface of the pull tab is frosted.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the pull tab is made of flexible material. When the cover plate is pressed on the top of the through hole, it is not easy to pull the cover plate out if there is no force point. The pull tab provides a force point, making it easy to pull out the end cover.
[0017] In a further embodiment, the rectangular shell is made of a transparent material.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the transparent material allows people to better observe the amount of material inside the rectangular shell and replenish the test strips in a timely manner. When it is necessary to store light-proof test strips, they can be carried in an opaque cloth bag.
[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. The sealing strip around the periphery of the cover plate ensures airtightness when the cover plate is engaged with the top of the through hole to seal it. This prevents moisture from entering the interior of the rectangular shell through the gap between the cover plate and the through hole, thus maintaining a relatively sealed space inside the rectangular shell and preventing the test paper inside the rectangular shell from deteriorating.

[0026] Example 1:
[0027] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a novel test strip storage box includes a rectangular shell 1 and an end cap 2. The end cap 2 is snapped onto the top of the rectangular shell 1, and the top of the rectangular shell 1 is completely open. A through hole is provided on the top left side of the end cap 2, and a receiving groove is provided on the top left side of the end cap 2. The bottom of the receiving groove communicates with the through hole. A cover plate 3 is movably installed on the right side of the inner bottom of the receiving groove. A sealing strip 4 is provided around the periphery of the cover plate 3. The cover plate 3 is snapped and fixed to the top of the through hole. A slot is provided on the front side of the rectangular shell 1, and an indicator sticker is snapped into the slot. Multiple rectangular protrusions are evenly arranged around the inner bottom end of the end cap 2. The top wall thickness of the rectangular shell 1 is thinner than the bottom wall thickness of the rectangular shell 1. A slot corresponding to the rectangular protrusions is provided on the outer side of the top of the rectangular shell 1. A sealing ring 5 is provided at the bottom of the end cap 2. A pull tab is glued to the bottom left side of the cover plate 3. The surface of the pull tab is frosted. The rectangular shell 1 is made of transparent material.
[0028] Specific implementation process: The sealing strip set around the periphery of the cover plate ensures airtightness when the cover plate is snapped onto the top of the through hole to seal it. This prevents moisture from entering the interior of the rectangular shell through the gap between the cover plate and the through hole, thus maintaining a relatively sealed space inside the rectangular shell and preventing the test paper inside the rectangular shell from deteriorating. To be precise, the cover plate and the end cap are integrally injection molded. Only a relatively large piece needs to be set on the right side of the cover plate, with a crease in the middle of this piece, to achieve a movable connection between the top of the cover plate and the end cap (a connection method that does not affect the rotation of the cover plate), while also preventing the cover plate from leaving the end cap.
[0029] In the embodiments disclosed in this utility model, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "linking" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments disclosed in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
