A limiting block 25 is fixedly provided at one end of the locking block 8. The limiting block 25 contacts the outer wall of the circular ring 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, the partition 11 is provided with two sets of storage holes 12 on its upper surface. The storage cylinders 1 are all located inside the storage holes 12, and the bottom of the circular ring 2 is in contact with the upper surface of the partition 11. Guide blocks 13 are fixedly provided at both ends of the partition 11. Guide grooves 14 are correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the cabinet 10. The guide blocks 13 are slidably installed with the guide grooves 14. A pin 15 is slidably provided on one side of the cabinet 10. A slot 16 is correspondingly provided on one side of the guide block 13. One end of the pin 15 is located inside the slot 16. A pull block 17 is fixedly provided at the other end of the pin 15. A connecting spring 18 is fixedly provided between the pull block 17 and the cabinet 10.

[0032] More specifically, the user can place the sample into the storage cylinder 1, then attach the cover 6 to the upper end of the storage cylinder 1 and press it down to make the pressure ring 7 exert downward force on the annular ring 5, thereby causing the compression spring 4 to be in a contracted state. At the same time, the locking block 8 enters the sliding hole 9. Then, the cover 6 is rotated to achieve the effect of installing the cover 6 and the storage cylinder 1, which is convenient for subsequent retrieval. By setting multiple storage cylinders 1, it is convenient to store various monitoring samples. Then, multiple storage cylinders 1 can be placed into the storage hole 12 above the partition 11, and the partition 11 is slidably installed into the cabinet 10 through the cooperation of the guide block 13 and the guide groove 14. Afterwards, the pin 15 can be disengaged from the slot 16 by pulling the pull block 17 to facilitate the removal of the partition 11, which helps to quickly retrieve multiple storage cylinders 1 and facilitate subsequent testing.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As an implementation method for protecting the samples inside the cabinet 10: the front end of the cabinet 10 is provided with a cabinet door 19, the bottom of the cabinet door 19 is hinged to the cabinet 10, the upper end face of the cabinet 10 is provided with a fixing block 20, and the fixing block 20 and the cabinet door 19 are respectively provided with threaded holes 21, and the inside of the threaded holes 21 is provided with hand-tightening screws 22, and the cabinet door 19 is in contact with one end of the partition 11.

[0034] Specifically, after the partition 11 is installed inside the cabinet 10, the cabinet door 19 can be rotated so that its inner wall contacts one end of the partition 11. Then, the hand screw 22 is installed into the threaded hole 21 to fix the cabinet door 19 and the cabinet 10, which facilitates the protection of the sample.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 5 As a further implementation method for handling samples in low-light conditions: a lighting lamp 23 is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet 10.

[0036] Specifically, the lighting 23 can provide illumination for the user to use in dim environments.

[0037] In summary, when using the overall equipment: the user can place the sample into the storage cylinder 1, then attach the cover 6 to the upper end of the storage cylinder 1 and press it down to cause the pressure ring 7 to exert a downward force on the annular ring 5, thereby causing the compression spring 4 to be in a contracted state. At the same time, the locking block 8 enters the sliding hole 9. Then, rotating the cover 6 will achieve the effect of installing the cover 6 and the storage cylinder 1, which is convenient for subsequent retrieval. Moreover, by setting multiple storage cylinders 1, it is convenient to store various monitoring samples. Afterwards, multiple storage cylinders 1 can be placed into the partition 11. The partition 11 is slidably installed into the cabinet 10 through the cooperation of the guide block 13 and the guide groove 14 in the storage hole 12 above. Finally, the cabinet door 19 is rotated so that its inner wall contacts one end of the partition 11. Then, the hand screw 22 is installed into the threaded hole 21 to fix the cabinet door 19 and the cabinet 10, which facilitates the protection of the sample. When taking it out, the pin 15 can be disengaged from the slot 16 by pulling the pull block 17, so that the partition 11 can be taken out. This helps to quickly take out multiple storage cylinders 1, which is convenient for subsequent testing.
