Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water sample storage technology, specifically a water sample storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Automatic water sampling devices are indispensable in production, environmental monitoring, and laboratories, and are commonly used for the separate storage of various water samples. Especially in environmental monitoring, the need for retaining samples exceeding standards is becoming increasingly widespread. To ensure that the retained water sample and the water sample analyzed by the analytical module are synchronized, a temporary water sample storage device is generally set up. After analysis, the device determines whether the water sample should be directly discharged or retained if it exceeds the standard.
[0003] Currently, conventional water sample storage devices typically involve placing test tubes containing water samples directly into a storage box. This method is prone to damage during transport and cannot regulate the temperature of the storage space. High temperatures can cause the water sample to deteriorate, leading to inaccurate detection results. Furthermore, water samples stored for extended periods are prone to sedimentation and stratification, requiring manual shaking, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and ineffective. Therefore, we propose a new water sample storage device to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0019] 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 protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a water sample storage device, including a cylinder 1. A placement mechanism 2 is provided on the inner wall of the cylinder 1 near the upper side. A partition 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylinder 1 below the placement mechanism 2. A cooling mechanism 4 is provided on the partition 3 near the left side. A rotating mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on the upper middle part of the partition 3 and is movably inserted into the placement mechanism 2. A control mechanism 6 is provided on the partition 3 near the right side. Heat dissipation and dustproof nets 7 are fixedly embedded on the left and right side walls of the cylinder 1 near the lower side. A bottom cover 8 is threadedly installed on the lower surface of the cylinder 1. A top cover 9 is threadedly installed on the upper surface of the cylinder 1. A limit mechanism 10 is provided on the upper inner wall of the top cover 9.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the placement mechanism 2 includes a rubber mesh plate 201, a first shock-absorbing sponge 202, and a placement groove 203. The rubber mesh plate 201 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylinder 1. The first shock-absorbing sponge 202 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the rubber mesh plate 201. The placement groove 203 is evenly provided on the upper surface of the first shock-absorbing sponge 202 along the circumferential direction.
[0022] In this embodiment, the rubber mesh plate 201 is used to place the sample reagent tube and meets the air flow requirements. The placement groove 203 on the first shock-absorbing sponge 202 is used to place the sample reagent tube, and the inner diameter of the placement groove 203 matches the diameter of the sample reagent tube. The rubber mesh plate 201 is made of hard rubber material.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the cooling mechanism 4 includes a semiconductor cooler 401 and a temperature controller 402. The semiconductor cooler 401 is embedded in the partition 3 near the left side, and the temperature controller 402 is embedded in the partition 3 near the right side.
[0024] In this embodiment, the temperature controller 402 is used to monitor the temperature at the placement mechanism 2 on the upper side of the partition 3. When the temperature is higher than the set value, the cooling surface on the upper surface of the semiconductor cooler 401 is opened to cool down the placement mechanism 2. The heat dissipation fins and heat dissipation fan on the lower surface of the semiconductor cooler 401 meet the heat exchange requirements of the heat dissipation surface.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 5 includes a motor 501, a transmission rod 502, and a placement cylinder 503. The motor 501 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the partition 3, the transmission rod 502 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the output shaft of the motor 501, and the placement cylinder 503 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the transmission rod 502.
[0026] In this embodiment, the output shaft of the motor 501 drives the transmission rod 502 to rotate back and forth, which in turn drives the placement cylinder 503 to rotate back and forth, thereby causing the placement cylinder 503 to rotate the sample reagent tube and shake the sample in the sample reagent tube evenly.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the partition 3 corresponding to the transmission rod 502 and the rubber mesh plate 201 are both provided with through holes 11, and the upper surface of the placement cylinder 503 is horizontally flush with the upper surface of the first shock-absorbing sponge 202.
[0028] In this embodiment, the through hole 11 meets the requirements for the transmission rod 502 to pass through and rotate on the partition plate 3 and the rubber mesh plate 201, and the placement tube 503 facilitates the storage and retrieval of sample reagent tubes.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the control mechanism 6 includes a controller 601, a battery 602, a button panel 603, and a charging port 604. The controller 601 is installed on the inner front wall of the cylinder 1, the battery 602 is installed on the rear side of the lower surface of the partition 3, and the button panel 603 is embedded in the front side of the cylinder 1, and the charging port 604 is embedded in the button panel 603.
[0030] In this embodiment, the button panel 603 sends a cooling signal to the controller 601, which in turn controls the opening and closing of the cooling mechanism 4 and the rotating mechanism 5. The battery 602 supplies power to the various electrical components, and the charging port 604 is used to charge the battery 602.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting mechanism 10 includes a rotating shaft 101, a bearing assembly 102, a circular plate 103, a second shock-absorbing sponge 104, and a limiting groove 105. The rotating shaft 101 is fixedly installed on the upper inner wall of the top cover 9. The circular plate 103 is installed on the lower surface of the rotating shaft 101 through the bearing assembly 102. The second shock-absorbing sponge 104 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the circular plate 103. The limiting groove 105 is formed on the lower surface of the second shock-absorbing sponge 104 at a position corresponding to the placement groove 203.
[0032] In this embodiment, the second shock-absorbing sponge 104 is covered on the upper end of the sample reagent tube through the limiting groove 105, thereby achieving the effect of limiting the sample reagent tube. The bearing assembly 102 on the rotating shaft 101 allows the second shock-absorbing sponge 104 on the lower surface of the circular plate 103 to not rotate with the top cover 9, which facilitates the installation of the limiting mechanism 10.
[0033] In use, the reagent tube containing the water sample to be tested is inserted into the placement groove 203 in the placement mechanism 2. The lower surface of the reagent tube is placed on the upper surface of the rubber mesh plate 201, and the upper end of the reagent tube protrudes from the upper side of the placement groove 203. Then, the second shock-absorbing sponge 104 in the limiting mechanism 10 is placed over the upper end of the sample reagent tube through the limiting groove 105, so that the threaded knob of the top cover 9 is on the upper surface of the cylinder 1. The top cover 9 drives the second shock-absorbing sponge 104 to move downward through the rotating shaft 101, bearing assembly 102 and circular plate 103, so that the upper inner wall of the limiting groove 105 on the lower surface of the second shock-absorbing sponge 104 is in contact with the upper surface of the reagent tube, thus achieving the effect of installing the reagent tube. During use, the button panel 603 in the control mechanism 6 sends a cooling signal to the controller 601, causing the controller 601 to open the cooling mechanism 4, thus cooling the sample. The temperature controller 402 in the temperature control mechanism 4 is used to monitor the temperature at the placement mechanism 2 on the upper side of the partition 3. When the temperature is higher than the set value, the cooling surface on the upper surface of the semiconductor cooler 401 is opened to cool down the placement mechanism 2, so as to prevent the water sample in the reagent tube from deteriorating at high temperature. When the reagent tube to be tested is needed, the top cover 9 is opened, the reagent tube to be used is taken out and inserted into the placement cylinder 503 in the rotating mechanism 5. The output shaft of the motor 501 drives the transmission rod 502 to rotate back and forth, so that the transmission rod 502 drives the placement cylinder 503 to rotate back and forth, thereby causing the placement cylinder 503 to rotate the sample reagent tube, shaking the sample in the sample reagent tube evenly. It also has the function of shaking the test tube containing water sample. The shaking effect of the test tube containing water sample is better and more efficient, which is convenient for use. After use, the top cover 9 is reset and the remaining reagent tubes are stored.
[0034] In summary, this water sample storage device, through the cooperation of the placement mechanism 2 and the limiting mechanism 10, ensures that the test tube containing the water sample is placed stably and is not easily damaged. It also cools down the placement mechanism 2 to prevent the water sample from deteriorating at high temperatures, enhances the shaking function of the water sample, improves the shaking effect, and is more efficient and convenient to use.
