Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of temporary preservation technology for cultural relics, specifically relating to a temporary preservation box for unearthed cultural relics with adjustable humidity. Background Technology
[0002] As archaeology advances, the demand for archaeological information extraction is increasing. Every piece of information from newly unearthed artifacts should be effectively extracted and collected. When unearthed artifacts are exposed to air, their preservation environment changes drastically, making the information they carry highly susceptible to damage.
[0003] Temporary preservation boxes for unearthed cultural relics are special containers designed to protect and preserve newly unearthed cultural relics at archaeological excavation sites. They ensure that cultural relics can be effectively protected in a timely manner after excavation and also provide convenience for subsequent scientific research.
[0004] However, existing artifact preservation boxes have simple internal structures and only simple sealing treatments. Due to the fragility of the artifacts themselves, they are affected by various environmental factors. In particular, for artifacts such as waterlogged ivory, lacquerware, fragile jade and bronze artifacts, existing artifact preservation boxes are prone to causing problems such as drying, cracking, or embrittlement. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a temporary storage box for unearthed cultural relics with adjustable humidity, thereby solving the aforementioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The following description provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various features of the present invention. The elements and arrangements described in the specific examples below are only for concise expression of the present invention and are merely examples, not intended to limit the present invention.
[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0018] This application provides a temporary storage box for unearthed cultural relics with adjustable humidity, which can be referred to as [reference needed]. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the preservation box includes a base box 100 and a lid 200 connected to the base box 100. The lid 200 covers the open end of the base box 100. The lid 200 and the base box 100 together form the main structure of the preservation box, and the artifact is placed within the space formed by the base box 100 and the lid 200. A humidifier 300 is connected to the inside of the base box 100 or the lid 200. The humidifier 300 is located inside the preservation box and is used to humidify the preservation box.
[0019] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the base box 100 contains a receiving box 400, a flow guiding cavity 110, and a protective flexible frame 500. The receiving box 400 is hollow and is used to connect to the outlet of the humidifier 300. The flow guiding cavity 110 communicates with the interior of the receiving box 400. The protective flexible frame 500 has a strip-shaped hole 510 on its side wall, which connects the interior of the protective flexible frame 500 and the flow guiding cavity 110. The strip-shaped hole 510 extends along the length of the protective flexible frame 500. A humidity sensor 600 is installed on the inner wall of the protective flexible frame 500.
[0020] After the humidifier 300 is started, water mist flows out from the outlet and into the container 400, where it is initially evenly distributed. The guide cavity 110 is located between the container 400 and the protective soft frame 500, mainly to act as a buffer, preventing water mist generated by the humidifier 300 from flowing directly from the container 400 into the protective soft frame 500, which could cause uneven humidification. The protective soft frame 500 is used to place the target artifact. The protective soft frame 500 has a flexible structure and low overall rigidity, which can prevent collisions with the target artifact and protect it.
[0021] The water mist, evenly distributed within the container 400, flows from inside the container 400 to the guide cavity 110, which communicates with the container 400. It then diffuses through the strip-shaped holes 510 into the protective frame 500, humidifying the interior of the protective frame 500 to suit the artifacts placed within it. The strip-shaped holes 510 are positioned along the length of the protective frame 500, allowing the water mist in the guide cavity 110 to diffuse more evenly into the protective frame 500, thus adjusting the humidity inside the protective frame 500 as uniformly as possible.
[0022] The protective soft frame 500 is also equipped with a humidity sensor 600. The humidity sensor 600 detects the humidity inside the protective soft frame 500, allowing operators to adjust the humidity in real time. When the humidity is low, the humidifier 300 is activated to humidify the inside of the protective soft frame 500; when the humidity is high, the humidifier 300 is turned off to reduce the humidity inside the protective soft frame 500. The humidity sensor 600 and the humidifier 300 work together to flexibly adjust the humidity inside the protective soft frame 500 to a suitable level for artifact storage, preventing the artifact from shrinking, cracking, or becoming brittle due to excessively low humidity, and preventing the artifact from becoming damp, rotting, or deformed due to excessively high humidity.
[0023] In some preferred embodiments of this application, the opening of the strip-shaped hole 510 on the inner wall of the protective soft frame 500 is higher than the opening of the strip-shaped hole 510 on the outer wall of the protective soft frame 500. The strip-shaped hole 510 is generally inclined, and relative to the bottom surface of the base box 100, the openings of the strip-shaped hole 510 on the inner and outer walls of the protective soft frame 500 are not at the same height, with the opening on the inner wall being higher. The inclined arrangement of the strip-shaped hole 510 allows water liquefied on the inner wall of the protective soft frame 500 to flow along the inner wall into the strip-shaped hole 510 and out of the protective soft frame 500 through the strip-shaped hole 510, preventing water droplets from accumulating inside the protective soft frame 500 and thus protecting the cultural relics.
[0024] Preferably, the opening of the strip-shaped hole 510 on the inner sidewall of the protective frame 500 is connected to the bottom surface of the protective frame 500. In the protective frame 500, except for water that accumulates on the sidewall above the strip-shaped hole 510 and can be discharged through the strip-shaped hole 510, water droplets in other locations can first flow to the bottom surface of the protective frame 500 under the action of gravity, and then be discharged from the protective frame 500 through the opening of the strip-shaped hole 510 connected to the bottom surface of the protective frame 500, further preventing water droplets from accumulating inside the protective frame 500.
[0025] The strip-shaped holes 510 extend along the length of the protective frame 500. It's important to note that this length refers to the length of the sidewall of the protective frame 500 where the strip-shaped holes 510 are located. The longer the strip-shaped holes 510 are, the more uniform the humidity within the protective frame 500. In some preferred embodiments, the strip-shaped holes 510 are parallel to the bottom surface of the base box 100, and the length of the strip-shaped holes 510 is the same as the length of the sidewall where they are located. That is, both ends of the strip-shaped holes 510 extend directly from one end of the corresponding sidewall to the other. Making the length of the strip-shaped holes 510 as long as possible can further improve the uniformity of humidity within the protective frame 500.
[0026] refer to Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the storage box further includes a flow guiding assembly 700 installed in the receiving box 400. The flow guiding assembly 700 includes a flow guiding tube 710, one end of which communicates with the receiving box 400, and the other end extends into the flow guiding cavity 110. A plurality of flow guiding holes 711 are provided on the wall of the flow guiding tube 710. Using the flow guiding tube 710 and the plurality of flow guiding holes 711, water mist is evenly dispersed in the flow guiding cavity 110, thereby further improving the uniformity of water mist within the protective soft frame 500 and improving the uniformity of humidity within the protective soft frame 500. Furthermore, the flow guiding tube 710 extends along the length direction of the strip-shaped hole 510, further improving the uniformity effect.
[0027] For reference Figure 3 As shown, the flow guiding assembly 700 also includes a locking block 720, which is fixedly connected to the flow guiding tube 710. A slot 410 is provided on the outer wall of the receiving box 400, and the locking block 720 is detachably connected to the slot 410 to allow communication between the flow guiding tube 710 and the interior of the receiving box 400. When the locking block 720 is engaged in the slot 410, the flow guiding tube 710 and the receiving box 400 are connected, allowing the outlet on the receiving box 400 to connect with the flow guiding tube 710. Water mist inside the receiving box 400 enters the flow guiding tube 710 and diffuses through the flow guiding holes 711 on the flow guiding tube 710. When the locking block 720 is separated from the slot 410, the flow guiding tube 710 is separated from the receiving box 400, and the water mist in the receiving box 400 diffuses directly into the flow guiding cavity 110. The flow guide assembly 700 is detachably connected to the receiving box 400, which improves the flexibility of the use of the flow guide assembly 700. The flow guide assembly 700 can be installed or not depending on the usage requirements.
[0028] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the container 400 includes a first cavity and a second cavity 420 that are isolated from each other. The first cavity is connected to the outlet of the humidifier 300, and a delivery pipe 430 is installed in the second cavity 420, which connects the first cavity and the guide pipe 710. When two guide cavities 110 are provided, the container 400 has two second cavities 420, which correspond one-to-one with the guide cavities 110.
[0029] The container 400 is divided into two areas: a first cavity and a second cavity 420. The first cavity and the guide pipe 710 are connected by a delivery pipe 430, which concentrates the water mist in the first cavity into the guide cavity 110 to improve humidification efficiency. The delivery pipe 430 can be a flexible hose.
[0030] In some preferred embodiments, two flow guiding cavities 110 are provided, with the two flow guiding cavities 110 located on both sides of the protective soft frame 500, as can be seen from [reference]. Figure 2As shown, the protective soft frame 500 has strip-shaped holes 510 on the side wall near the flow guiding cavity 110, and both flow guiding cavities 110 are connected to the interior of the receiving box 400.
[0031] The water mist in the receiving box 400 can diffuse into the two guiding chambers 110. The water mist in both guiding chambers 110 can enter the protective soft frame 500 through the strip-shaped holes 510, uniformly protecting the humidity within the soft frame 500. Simultaneously, when installing the humidity sensor 600, it should be installed on the side wall without the strip-shaped holes 510, preferably at the midpoint of the arrangement direction of the two strip-shaped holes 510, to improve detection accuracy. In some specific embodiments, the humidity sensor 600 can be a model SHT30 humidity sensor 600.
[0032] The humidifier 300 can be installed on the cover 200 or directly in the base box 100. In some preferred embodiments, the humidifier 300 is installed on the cover 200, and the receiving box 400 is provided with a fitting groove 440 corresponding to the humidifier 300. The bottom of the fitting groove 440 is provided with a connecting hole 450 communicating with the interior of the receiving box 400. The connecting hole 450 is used to connect to the outlet of the humidifier 300. When the cover 200 covers the base box 100, the humidifier 300 on the cover 200 is located at the fitting groove 440. The fitting groove 440 initially restricts the position of the humidifier 300. The outlet of the humidifier 300 is connected to the connecting hole 450, which facilitates the water mist generated by the humidifier 300 to enter the receiving box 400. When the cover 200 is separated from the base box 100, the humidifier 300 separates from the fitting groove 440. In some specific implementations, a humidifier 300 with model number DEM-S600 can be selected.
[0033] The humidifier 300 is mounted on the cover 200, making it easier to directly add water and power to the humidifier 300 through the cover 200. Furthermore, the cover 200 has no other structures, making it easier to assemble and disassemble the humidifier 300. (Reference) Figure 1 As shown, the cover 200 and the base box 100 can be directly connected by the hinge 800, and the outer surface of the cover 200 can also be connected to the handle 900.
[0034] In some embodiments of this application, a sponge pad is provided in the area corresponding to the cover 200 and the protective soft frame 500. The sponge pad covers the opening of the protective soft frame 500 and can play a dehumidifying role to ensure the stability of the humidity inside the protective soft frame 500.
[0035] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.
[0036] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
