[0019] The following will describe specific embodiments and appendices. Figure 1-5 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described.

[0020] A core box for easy access to core samples includes a box body 1, with several casters 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 1 and a push handle 12 fixedly connected to the top surface of the box body 1. Its appearance is similar to that of a suitcase, making it easy to move and preventing the problem of the core box being too heavy to move after the core samples are placed in it.

[0021] The box 1 is equipped with two fixed slide rails 2, which are fixedly connected to opposite sides inside the box 1. The two fixed slide rails 2 are symmetrically arranged, and the overall trend of the fixed slide rails 2 is E-shaped. The E-shaped arrangement allows the slide rails to move back and forth, thus covering the internal space of the box 1, so that more holding devices 5 can be arranged on the slide rails inside the box 1.

[0022] Several drive gears 3 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixed slide rail 2 near the housing 1. The drive gears 3 are driven by a drive motor. The drive motor and drive gears 3 are existing technologies. A drive chain 4 is wound around the drive gears 3. The rotation of the drive gears 3 will drive the entire drive chain 4 to run. The drive chain 4 is set close to the inner edge of the fixed slide rail 2. The arrangement of the drive chain 4 is the same as that of the fixed slide rail 2. Several connecting blocks 51 are equidistantly arranged on the drive chain 4. The connecting blocks 51 are U-shaped. One end of the connecting block 51 is rotatably connected to the drive chain 4. The other end of the connecting block 51 is rotatably connected to the holding device 5. The holding device 5 is slidably connected to the fixed slide rail 2. Driven by the drive chain 4, the holding device 5 can slide along the fixed slide rail 2, so that the holding device 5 can move periodically along the fixed slide rail 2. The periodic operation passes through the pick-up and put-out port 13 on the housing 1. The pick-up and put-out port 13 is opened on the path of the corresponding fixed slide rail 2, and the pick-up and put-out port 13 is directly facing the running holding device 5.

[0023] The holding device 5 includes a sliding shaft 52, with both ends of the sliding shaft 52 slidably connected to two fixed slide rails. Both ends of the sliding shaft 52 are connected to two drive chains 4 via connecting blocks 51. The two drive chains 4 can run synchronously and drive several holding devices 5 to move together. Both ends of the sliding shaft 52 are fitted with connecting frames 53 and a core box 54 is also provided. Both ends of the core box 54 are fixedly connected to the two connecting frames 53, so that the entire core box 54 is rotatably connected to the sliding shaft 52. This allows the core box 54 to be suspended below the sliding shaft 52 under the action of gravity. Therefore, each core box 54 can be aligned with the pick-up and put-out port 13 when it moves past the pick-up and put-out port 13, making it convenient to remove the core placed inside.

[0024] The core box 54 has a cylindrical cavity structure. A cylindrical cavity is opened along the side of the core box 54. A core drawer 55 is slidably connected inside the core box 54. The core drawer 55 is shaped to fit the internal space of the core box 54. A limiting groove is opened on the top surface inside the core box 54. A limiting block 56 is fixedly connected to one end of the core drawer 55. The limiting block 56 is slidably connected in the limiting groove, so that the core drawer 55 will not rotate freely inside the core box 54, and it will not be completely pulled out. The limiting groove extends to the end and then has a corner around the inside of the core box 54. After the core drawer 55 is fully pushed into the core box 54, the core drawer 55 can be rotated to make the limiting block 56 lock in the limiting groove, so that the core drawer 55 and the core box 54 are locked together and cannot be easily rotated. A pull handle 57 is provided at the end of the core drawer 55 with the opening 13 for easy rotation and pulling of the core drawer 55. The access port 13 is rotatably connected to a door panel 14, which can block the access port 13. At the same time, the core drawer 55 can be numbered for easy retrieval of the corresponding core.

[0025] This utility model features numerous holding devices 5 mounted on a circular fixed slide rail 2. The fixed slide rail 2, with its unique structure, can cover the entire interior of the box 1, maximizing the number of core samples that can be placed. The numerous holding devices 5 on the circular fixed slide rail 2 can pass through the pick-and-place opening 13 sequentially under the drive of the drive chain 4, thus facilitating placement and retrieval without requiring manual handling, saving time and effort.

[0026] Except for the technical features described in the specification, all other technologies are known to those skilled in the art.

[0027] In this utility model, "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front" and "back" are relative positions used to facilitate the description of positional relationships, and therefore cannot be understood as absolute positions as a limitation on the scope of protection.

[0028] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
