Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geological and mineral exploration technology, and in particular to a sample storage device for geological and mineral exploration. Background Technology
[0002] Geological and mineral exploration, based on advanced geological science theories and extensive field geological observations and data collection, employs comprehensive geological methods and techniques such as geological surveying, geophysical and geochemical exploration, and drilling to obtain reliable geological and mineral information. When storing samples from geological and mineral exploration, storage devices are required. Traditional storage bottles have relatively simple structures and limited functions. During transportation and movement of stored geological and mineral materials, collisions between the materials and the storage devices can lead to wear and breakage, and even sample damage. Existing designs address these shortcomings. Improvements have been made to sample storage devices. For example, CN220221649U discloses a geological and mineral exploration sample storage device, including a fixed box and storage tanks. Multiple storage tanks are fixedly installed inside the fixed box, and multiple protective airbags are provided on the inner side wall of the storage tanks. Multiple inflation and deflation pumps are installed inside the fixed box, and an exhaust pipe network is embedded in the side wall of the storage tanks. The exhaust pipe network is connected to the inflation and deflation pumps through a main air pipe, and the exhaust pipe network is connected to multiple protective airbags through multiple terminal air distribution pipes. This device is convenient to use, provides safe and reliable storage for mineral samples, is not easily damaged, and is inexpensive, making it suitable for widespread use.
[0003] The geological and mineral exploration sample storage device disclosed in the aforementioned patent can store samples separately by fixing multiple storage tanks, and the protective structure can fix the samples placed inside the storage tanks, reducing the risk of damage to the samples and storage tanks during transportation; however, it still has the following shortcomings in use: 1. The storage tanks are fixed in a fixed box, and when retrieving samples, personnel need to reach into the storage tanks one by one to take them out, which is inconvenient; 2. The protective structure requires an air pump to be installed under each storage tank, which is costly; In view of the above, this application proposes a geological and mineral exploration sample storage device.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-2A geological and mineral exploration sample storage device includes a storage box 1 with an open top. A box cover 101 is threadedly fixed to the top of the storage box 1. Threaded grooves are provided on both sides of the top of the storage box 1. T-shaped fixing bolts 102 are threadedly fitted in the threaded grooves. The box cover 101 is threadedly fitted onto the two T-shaped fixing bolts 102. The box cover 101 can be fixed by the cooperation of the T-shaped fixing bolts 102 and the threaded grooves.
[0025] In this implementation plan: The existing device {publication (announcement) number}: CN220221649U discloses a geological and mineral exploration sample storage device. This application further improves upon this existing device, as detailed in the following disclosure. To solve the technical problems existing in this prior art, such as the "1. The storage tank is fixed in a fixed box, and when taking samples, personnel need to reach into the storage tank one by one to take them out, which is inconvenient; 2. The setting of the protective structure, with an air pump under each storage tank, is costly." In combination with the use, this problem is obviously a real and difficult problem to solve. Therefore, to solve this technical problem, an external pressure fixing mechanism 2, a storage mechanism 3, and an internal pressure fixing mechanism 4 are added to this application.
[0026] Furthermore
[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 A geological and mineral exploration sample storage device, comprising:
[0028] The external pressure fixing mechanism 2 consists of multiple sets, all of which are fixedly connected between the bottom inner wall of the storage box 1 and the bottom of the box cover 101.
[0029] The external compression mechanism 2 includes a positioning sleeve 201 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the storage box 1. A first anti-slip rubber sleeve 202 is adhesively fitted inside the positioning sleeve 201. A plurality of pressure caps 203 with open bottoms are embedded and fixed at the bottom of the box cover 101. A first anti-slip rubber 204 is adhesively fixed on the inner wall of the top of the pressure cap 203. The first anti-slip rubber 204 can effectively reduce slippage during the compression process.
[0030] The storage mechanism 3 consists of multiple sets, each fitted inside a corresponding external pressure mechanism 2. The storage mechanism 3 includes a transparent test tube 301 movably fitted inside a first anti-slip rubber sleeve 202. A second anti-slip rubber sleeve is fitted onto the upper outer side of the transparent test tube 301. A plug 302 is movably fitted onto the upper outer side of the transparent test tube 301. A third anti-slip rubber sleeve 303 is fixedly fitted onto the inner side of the plug 302. The third anti-slip rubber sleeve 303 is tightly fitted onto the corresponding second anti-slip rubber sleeve. Under the frictional force between the third anti-slip rubber sleeve 303 and the corresponding second anti-slip rubber sleeve, the plug 302 can be fixed and will not fall off without external pulling force.
[0031] In this implementation scheme: when placing the sample, first rotate the T-shaped fixing bolt 102 in the opposite direction. As the T-shaped fixing bolt 102 rotates, it moves out of the threaded groove, releasing the fixation on the box cover 101. The box cover 101 can then be removed. The box cover 101 drives multiple pressure caps 203 to separate upward from the plug 302, releasing the fixation on the storage mechanism 3. The transparent test tube 301 can then be moved out from the first anti-slip rubber sleeve 202 inside the corresponding positioning sleeve 201. Immediately afterwards, the plug 302 can be pulled upward to separate from the corresponding transparent test tube 301, and the sample can then be placed into the corresponding transparent test tube 301.
[0032] During subsequent material retrieval, the transparent test tube 301 can be removed from the corresponding positioning sleeve 201, and the sample inside can be poured out directly by tilting the transparent test tube 301. This direct pouring method facilitates personnel operation.
[0033] Furthermore:
[0034] Reference Figure 3 A geological and mineral exploration sample storage device also includes an internal compression mechanism 4, which consists of multiple sets and is installed in the corresponding storage mechanism 3. The internal compression mechanism 4 is used to compress the sample inside the corresponding storage mechanism 3.
[0035] The internal clamping mechanism 4 includes a clamping block 401, with a screw 403 fixedly connected to the top of the clamping block 401. An internally threaded sleeve 402 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the top of the plug 302. A circular hole is provided on the inner wall of the top of the plug 302, and a bearing is fixedly fitted inside the circular hole. The inner side of the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the outer side of the corresponding internally threaded sleeve 402. The bearing serves to allow the corresponding internally threaded sleeve 402 to rotate. The internally threaded sleeve 402 is threaded onto the corresponding screw 403. This threaded connection allows the screw 403 to be driven vertically while the internally threaded sleeve 402 rotates. The top of the plug 302 is provided with a relief groove 304 with openings on both the front and rear sides. The top of the internal threaded sleeve 402 extends into the corresponding relief groove 304 and is fixedly connected to a knob 406. A label is embedded in the top of the knob 406, and the label indicates the sample type. The top of the pressure block 401 is fixedly connected to a positioning rod 405. A positioning tube 404 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the plug 302. The positioning tube 404 is slidably sleeved on the corresponding positioning rod 405. The positioning rod 405 and the positioning tube 404 cooperate to provide a vertical guiding effect for the pressure block 401.
[0036] In this implementation scheme: after the sample is placed in and the cap 302 is fitted onto the corresponding transparent test tube 301, the knob 406 is rotated clockwise. The knob 406 drives the corresponding internal threaded sleeve 402 to rotate. The rotation of the internal threaded sleeve 402 drives the corresponding screw 403 to move downward. The screw 403 drives the corresponding pressure block 401 to move downward. The pressure block 401 drives the corresponding positioning rod 405 to slide downward in the positioning tube 404. While the pressure block 401 moves downward, it compacts the sample. The adjustable vertical position of the pressure block 401 is suitable for compacting samples of different quantities, thus improving its applicability.
[0037] It should be noted that the pressure block 401 is made of rigid material and its bottom is a friction surface, which can effectively reduce slippage during the pressing process.
[0038] Working principle: In use, when placing the sample, first rotate the T-shaped fixing bolt 102 in the reverse direction. As the T-shaped fixing bolt 102 rotates, it moves out of the threaded groove, releasing the fixation on the box cover 101. The box cover 101 can then be removed. The box cover 101 drives multiple pressure caps 203 upwards to separate from the plug 302, releasing the fixation on the storage mechanism 3. The transparent test tube 301 can then be moved out from the first anti-slip rubber sleeve 202 inside the corresponding positioning sleeve 201. Immediately afterwards, the plug 302 can be pulled upwards to separate from the corresponding transparent test tube 301. The plug 302, through the corresponding internal threaded sleeve 402 and screw 403, drives the pressure block 401 out of the transparent test tube 301, releasing the seal on the transparent test tube 301. At this time, the sample can be placed into the corresponding transparent test tube. After placing the sample in test tube 301, move the pressure block 401 back into the corresponding transparent test tube 301, and press to put the cap 302 onto the corresponding transparent test tube 301. The cap 302 seals the corresponding transparent test tube 301. Then, rotate the knob 406 forward. The knob 406 drives the corresponding internal thread sleeve 402 to rotate. The rotation of the internal thread sleeve 402 drives the corresponding screw 403 to move downward. The screw 403 drives the corresponding pressure block 401 to move downward. The pressure block 401 drives the corresponding positioning rod 405 to slide downward in the positioning tube 404. While the pressure block 401 moves downward, it compacts the sample. The vertical position of the pressure block 401 is adjustable, which can be used to compact different amounts of samples, thus improving the applicability.
[0039] Next, the transparent test tube 301 can be inserted into the corresponding first anti-slip rubber sleeve 202, and the sample type can be written in the corresponding label area. Then, the remaining samples can be placed in the remaining transparent test tubes 301 in the same way. After placement, the box cover 101 can be moved down. The box cover 101 drives the multiple pressure caps 203 to move down. As the pressure caps 203 move down, they are put on the corresponding plugs 302. When the first anti-slip rubber 204 on the pressure cap 203 contacts the plug 302, the pressing effect can be achieved, thereby achieving the pressing of the storage mechanism 3. By pressing the inside of the sample and pressing the outside of the storage mechanism 3, the risk of shaking and damage during carrying can be effectively reduced, the safety during carrying can be improved, and no additional electrical components are required, thus reducing the cost of use.
[0040] When taking samples later, the T-shaped fixing bolt 102 can be rotated in the opposite direction to release the fixing of the box cover 101, and the box cover 101 can be moved upward to release the fixing of the multiple storage mechanisms 3 again. Then, the storage mechanism 3 can be pulled upward to remove it. After removal, the cap 302 can be pulled upward to separate it from the transparent test tube 301. The sample inside the transparent test tube can be poured out directly by tilting the transparent test tube 301. After pouring out, the cap 302 can be put back on the transparent test tube 301 and the transparent test tube 301 can be inserted into the corresponding first anti-slip rubber sleeve 202, ready for the next use. The method of directly pouring out the sample by pulling it out facilitates the operation of personnel taking samples.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
