Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food testing technology, and in particular to a food testing sample storage and transfer box. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of food testing, food testing sample storage and transport boxes are key equipment to ensure sample integrity and testing accuracy. They are mainly used to store and transport various sample tubes required for food testing, ensuring that the samples are not disturbed by external factors during transportation. They are an important link connecting sample collection and laboratory testing.
[0003] However, most commercially available food testing sample storage and transport boxes have significant drawbacks. Existing transport boxes often lack effective clamping structures to secure test tubes. During actual transportation, the bumps from vehicle travel and vibrations during loading and unloading can affect the test tubes inside the box. Without stable securing measures, the test tubes can move freely and collide with each other. If a test tube breaks, it can lead to sample leakage and contamination, compromising the reliability of test data, affecting the accuracy of food testing results, and delaying the testing process. Furthermore, the leakage of harmful substances from the sample may pose potential hazards to transport personnel and the environment. In addition, after a test tube breaks, the sample needs to be collected again, which undoubtedly increases testing costs and time significantly. As the food testing industry continues to demand higher safety and reliability in sample transportation, existing food testing sample storage and transport boxes are no longer sufficient to meet practical application needs.

[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0031] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Reference Figures 1-5 and Figure 7 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a food testing sample storage and transfer box. The food testing sample storage and transfer box includes a main component 100, including a box body 101. A box cover 102 is hinged to the surface of the box body 101. Two test tubes are placed inside the box. The box body 101 and the box cover 102 can be fixed together by a buckle, thereby sealing the box body 101.
[0034] An adjustment assembly 200, disposed within the housing 101, includes an adjustment component 201 and a support plate 2011 fixed within the housing 101. The support plate 2011 has adjustment grooves 2011-1 on its surface. Adjustment blocks 2012 slide within each adjustment groove 2011-1. There are two sets of adjustment grooves 2011-1, each set containing eight grooves, all circumferentially distributed on the surface of the support plate 2011. Each adjustment groove 2011-1 contains one adjusting block 2012. A connecting post 2013 is fixed to the surface of the 012 support plate 2011. An adjusting gear 2014 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support plate 2011. An extrusion groove 2014-1 is formed on the surface of the adjusting gear 2014. The connecting post 2013 slides in the extrusion groove 2014-1. There are eight extrusion grooves 2014-1, which are circumferentially distributed on the adjusting gear 2014. A connecting post 2013 slides in each extrusion groove 2014-1. An auxiliary gear 2 meshes with one end of the adjusting gear 2014. 015, A rotating column 2016 is fixed inside the auxiliary gear 2015. The rotating column 2016 is rotatably connected to the support plate 2011. When the operator fixes the test tube, they only need to turn the knob on the rotating column 2016 to drive the auxiliary gear 2015 to rotate. Through gear meshing, the adjusting gear 2014 rotates synchronously. The squeezing groove 2014-1 squeezes and pushes the connecting column 2013. The connecting column 2013 slides in the squeezing groove 2014-1, pushing the adjusting block 2012 to slide along the adjusting groove 2011-1 towards the test tube. The eight adjusting blocks 2012 approach the test tube from different directions, so that the eight adjusting blocks 2012 fit the test tube. In this way, test tubes of different sizes can be placed in the support plate 2011. At this time, the adjusting blocks 2012 do not squeeze and fix the test tube. The whole operation process is simple and efficient, and the position of the adjusting block 2012 can be flexibly adjusted according to the diameter of the test tube to ensure that test tubes of different specifications can be reliably placed.
[0035] Specifically, the adjusting component 201 also includes a positioning sleeve 2017 fixed to the surface of the rotating column 2016, and a flower-shaped groove 2011-2 formed by multiple symmetrically distributed arc-shaped grooves around the circumference on the surface of the support plate 2011. A telescopic column 2018 slides inside the positioning sleeve 2017, and a compression spring 2019 is provided inside the positioning sleeve 2017. When the rotating column 2016 rotates to fix the test tube, the positioning sleeve 2017 moves synchronously, and the telescopic column 2018 is locked into the flower-shaped groove 2011-2 for limiting and keeping the test tube fixed and stable. When the size of the test tube needs to be adjusted, the rotating column 2016 is twisted to unlock it, so that the telescopic column slides out of the arc-shaped groove and the limiting is released.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figures 8-9 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0038] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 200 also includes a clamping member 202 disposed on the surface of the support plate 2011, including a positioning block 2021 fixed to the surface of the support plate 2011, a connecting plate 20210 rotatably connected to the surface of the positioning block 2021, two connecting rods 2022 hinged to the surface of the connecting plate 20210, and a base plate 2023 hinged to the other end of the connecting rods 2022. There are two base plates 2023, and the two connecting rods 2022 are parallel to each other. When 210 rotates, the connecting rod 2022 will move synchronously, driving the base plate 2023 to move. The lower end of the base plate 2023 is fixed with a limit post 2024, and the surface of the support plate 2011 is fixed with a slide rail 2025. Under the constraint of the slide rail 2025, the limit post 2024 at the lower end of the base plate 2023 can only slide within the base plate 2023, and cannot move away from the slide rail 2025, so that the two base plates 2023 can move synchronously to open and close.
[0039] Specifically, the clamping member 202 also includes a sliding groove 2023-1 disposed in the substrate 2023. A sleeve 2027 slides in the sliding groove 2023-1. A first spring 2028 is fixed on the inner wall of the sleeve 2027. The first spring 2028 is currently in a normal state. A clamping block 2029 is fixed to the other end of the first spring 2028. When the substrate 2023 moves, the sleeve 2027 will drive the clamping block 2029 to move synchronously, so that the clamping block 2029 first clamps the test tube. At this time, the first spring 2028 is compressed, thereby providing sufficient thrust to the clamping block 2029, so that the clamping block 2029 clamps and fixes the test tube.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] Reference Figures 1-10 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0042] Specifically, the adjustment component 200 also includes a fixing member 203 disposed on the surface of the substrate 2023, including a slot 2023-2 opened on the surface of the substrate 2023, a limiting block 2032 sliding in the slot 2023-2, an adjustment rod 2031 fixed on the surface of the housing 2027, and the limiting block 2032 sliding on one side of the housing 2027. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the housing 2027 and the clamping block 2029, the adjustment rod 2031 can be manually pushed to drive the housing 2027 to slide, so that the clamping block 2029 moves towards the test tube, so that the clamping block 2029 can better clamp the smaller test tube. When adjusted to a suitable position, the fixing block 2037 can be pushed to drive the limiting block 2032, and the adjustment rod 2031 can be inserted into the limiting block 2032 for fixed positioning, meeting the clamping requirements of test tubes of different sizes, and providing stable support after adjustment.
[0043] Specifically, the fixing component 203 also includes a second spring 2033 fixed at one end of the limiting block 2032. The second spring 2033 is in a compressed state. There are four second springs 2033 on one side of each limiting block 2032. A fixing block 2037 is fixed on the surface of the limiting block 2032. Fixing grooves 2032-1 are opened on both sides of the limiting block 2032. A limiting strip 2034 slides in the fixing groove 2032-1. The limiting strip 2034 is fixed to the inner wall of the slot 2023-2. Through the limiting of the limiting strip 2034, the limiting block 2032 can slide stably in the slot 2023-2, so that the limiting block 2032 will not accidentally slide out of the slot 2023-2.
[0044] Specifically, the fixing component 203 also includes a fixing seat 2035 fixed to the surface of the substrate 2023. The fixing seat 2035 is used to drive the substrate 2023 to move. By pushing the fixing seat 2035, the substrate 2023 below the fixing seat 2035 can move closer to the test tube. Under the action of the connecting plate 20210 and the connecting rod 2022, the other substrate 2023 moves closer to the test tube at the same time, so that the clamping blocks 2029 on both sides of the test tube move towards the test tube to clamp the test tube and prevent the test tube from moving up and down. At this time, the horizontal direction of the test tube is also limited by multiple adjusting blocks 2012, thereby completing the clamping and fixing of the test tube.
[0045] The first spring 2028 on one side of the clamping block 2029 provides a certain buffering force when the housing 2027 drives the clamping block 2029 to clamp the test tube, thus preventing damage to the test tube.
[0046] Specifically, the clamping component 202 also includes a third spring 20211 fixed to one side of the substrate 2023. The other end of the third spring 20211 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 101. There are four third springs 20211. The third springs 20211 are currently in a stretched state and are used to drive the two substrates 2023 to move back to their original positions, thereby releasing the clamping and fixing of the test tube.
[0047] Specifically, the fixing component 203 also includes a pressing block 2036 fixed to the surface of the box cover 102. The pressing block 2036 has a pressing protrusion 2036-1 on one side. When the box cover is closed, the pressing protrusion 2036-1 will press the fixing seat 2035, causing the two base plates 2023 to move closer to each other, thereby causing the clamping block 2029 to press and fix the test tube.
[0048] Specifically, a handle 104 is fixed to the surface of the lid 102, which facilitates the movement of the food testing sample storage and transport box.
[0049] In use, the operator places the test tube inside the support plate 2011. Based on the test tube diameter, the operator rotates the rotating column 2016, causing the auxiliary gear 2015 to rotate. This causes the adjusting gear 2014, which meshes with the auxiliary gear, to rotate synchronously. The connecting column 2013 moves in the extrusion groove 2014-1, causing the adjusting block 2012 to slide towards the center along the adjusting groove 2011-1, forming a fixed space adapted to the size of the test tube. Simultaneously, the positioning sleeve 2017 on the surface of the rotating column 2016 moves with the rotating column 2016, and the telescopic column 2018 inside the positioning sleeve 2017 compresses the spring. Under the action of 2019, it is inserted into the arc-shaped groove of the flower-shaped groove 2011-2 to fix the position of the adjusting block 2012, thereby limiting the horizontal position of the test tube. When the box cover 102 is closed, the pressing protrusion 2036-1 of the pressing block 2036 on the surface of the box cover 102 presses the fixing seat 2035 on the base plate 2023, so that the two base plates 2023 are close to the test tube, thereby causing the sleeve 2027 in the slide groove 2023-1 of the base plate 2023 to move synchronously. The first spring 2028 on the inner wall of the sleeve 2027 pushes the clamping block 2029 to clamp and fix the test tube.
[0050] When storing test tubes of different sizes, before closing the box lid 102, manually push the adjusting rod 2031 on the surface of the housing 2027 to adjust the position of the housing 2027. Then push the fixing block 2037, which will cause the limiting block 2032 to lock the adjusting rod 2031, limiting the housing 2027. This allows the clamping block 2029 to better fit the test tubes and further clamp the test tubes of different sizes, ensuring that the clamping force is within a certain range. After the sample is placed and fixed, the transport box can be moved. After arriving at the destination, open the box lid 102. The squeezing protrusion 2036-1 of the squeezing block 2036 releases the squeezing of the fixing seat 2035 on the base plate 2023. Under the reset pulling force of the third spring 20211, the two base plates 2023 can move away from each other, thereby moving the clamping block 2029 away from the test tube, thus releasing the clamping of the test tube.
[0051] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
