Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bentonite storage technology, and in particular to a storage device for collecting bentonite samples. Background Technology
[0002] Bentonite, a common natural mineral, is widely used in various fields such as oil drilling, construction engineering, and environmental protection. Bentonite has strong adsorption and swelling properties, so it needs to be stored and treated effectively during use. However, due to the special properties of bentonite, especially its tendency to absorb moisture and react with the external environment, it is easily affected by external factors such as temperature and humidity during sample collection and storage, which can change its physicochemical properties and lead to distorted or unrepresentative samples.
[0003] In existing geological exploration studies, it is usually necessary to collect soil samples from different depths in representative locations. Depending on the research needs, the sample plots are generally located in remote field areas. Sampling is usually done from the top to the bottom of the sample plot at different depths. This results in a large number and variety of samples to be collected. Carrying too many independent storage containers is troublesome and easy to get confused. Moreover, the composition of soil at different depths may be affected by the external environment and change.
[0004] The existing patent (publication number: CN214894141U) discloses a soil sampling storage device for geological exploration, comprising an outer box, a zipper, zipper heads, a lid, and a container. The storage container is removed from the outer box, the lid is opened, and the collected soil sample is placed into the container. The lid is then sealed using the fastening threads at the connection point. The sample is marked on a marker block to prevent confusion between samples collected from different locations and subsequent research errors. After sealing and marking, the container is placed in the storage chamber, the lid is closed, and the zipper is closed using the zipper heads. The entire sample storage box can then be carried by the handle or the shoulder strap can be adjusted using the adjustable buckle. The shock-absorbing layer is made of thickened and dense pearl cotton, preventing damage from impacts and protecting the sample from external environmental influences, thus preserving the sample's original state. The recessed opening facilitates the handling of the storage container.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents offer solutions, but these solutions cannot achieve pollution-free soil sampling and storage. Existing storage cups require the use of a sampling shovel during the sampling and storage process, and the shovel can easily cause cross-contamination of multiple bentonite samples when sampling from multiple bentonite samples.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0031] A storage device for collecting bentonite samples includes a storage box 1 and a box cover 2. The storage box 1 is provided with a partition 3 inside. Multiple placement holes 4 are opened in the middle of the partition 3. A storage cup 5 is provided inside the placement hole 4. A sampling mechanism 6 is provided inside the storage cup 5. A positioning mechanism 7 is provided at the bottom of the box cover 2.
[0032] The sampling mechanism 6 includes a cup lid 61 disposed on the top of the storage cup 5, a connecting rod 62 disposed in the middle of the cup lid 61, the connecting rod 62 being rotatably connected to the cup lid 61, a sampling shovel 63 disposed at the bottom of the connecting rod 62, and the cup lid 61 being threadedly connected to the storage cup 5.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a ring groove 8 is provided in the middle of the partition 3, and a slot 9 is provided at the top of the partition 3. The slot 9 and the ring groove 8 are connected and engaged. A positioning block 10 is provided on the side wall of the storage cup 5. The positioning block 10 is movably connected to the slot 9 and the ring groove 8.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a frame 12 is provided on the top of the cup lid 61, and a label frame 13 is provided inside the frame 12. The label frame 13 is made of transparent material.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the top of the cup lid 61 is provided with a handle 15, which is an inverted U-shaped design.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the storage box 1 is provided with multiple support pads 16, which are in contact with the storage cup 5.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, protective corners 17 are provided at all four corners of the storage box 1.
[0038] In use, the storage cup 5 is removed from the storage box 1, and the cup lid 61 is rotated to separate from the storage cup 5 by the thread. At this time, the handle 15 carries the cup lid 61, connecting rod 62, and sampling shovel 63 to sample the bentonite. Since each storage cup 5 is equipped with a sampling shovel 63, the cooperation between the sampling shovel 63 and the storage cup allows the sampling shovel 63 to sample only one type of bentonite, avoiding cross-contamination of the bentonite caused by the reuse of the sampling shovel 63, which would affect the accuracy of subsequent bentonite testing. After sampling, the storage cup 5 is placed into the placement hole 4 of the partition 3, at which point the positioning block 10 enters the slot 9. Rotating the storage cup 5 causes the positioning block 10 to enter the annular groove 8, at which point the storage cup 5 is initially positioned. The insertion frame 12 and label frame 13 facilitate the marking and classification of multiple storage cups 5. The support pad 16 supports the storage cup 5 to prevent it from impacting the bottom of the storage box 1. The protective corners 17 provide anti-collision protection for the four corners of the storage box 1. In this way, through the cooperation of the storage cup 5, the cup lid 61, the connecting cover and the sampling shovel 63, the sampling and storage of bentonite can be realized. This avoids the cross-contamination of various bentonites caused by the repeated use of the sampling shovel 63, and improves the accuracy of bentonite collection and storage.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the positioning mechanism 7 includes a mounting base 71 located at the bottom of the lid 2. Multiple support cylinders 72 are movably mounted on the side wall of the mounting base 71. A support plate 73 is fixedly connected to the top of the support cylinder 72. A support spring 74 is provided between the support plate 73 and the mounting base 71. A positioning ring 75 is provided at the bottom of the multiple support cylinders 72. The positioning ring 75 contacts the lid 61.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple guide rods 11 are provided on the side wall of the mounting base 71, and the guide rods 11 are movably connected to the support cylinder 72.
[0041] When in use, after the storage cup 5 is placed inside the placement hole 4, the lid 2 and storage box 1 are closed. At this time, the positioning ring 75 contacts the cup lid 61. During this process, the positioning ring 75 compresses the support spring 74 through the support cylinder 72 and support plate 73. At the same time, the guide rod 11 guides and supports the movement of the support cylinder 72. When the lid 2 is closed, the positioning ring 75 compresses the cup lid 61 to prevent the storage cup 5 from shaking during transportation and improve the stability of carrying the storage cup 5.
[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the problem that existing soil sampling and storage devices cannot perform pollution-free soil sampling and storage is solved. The existing storage cup 5 requires the use of a sampling shovel 63 during the sampling and storage process. When the sampling shovel 63 samples multiple bentonites, it is easy to cause cross-contamination of multiple bentonites.
[0043] Working principle: In use, the storage cup 5 is first removed from the storage box 1, and the cup lid 61 is rotated to separate from the storage cup 5 by the thread. At this time, the handle 15 carries the cup lid 61, connecting rod 62, and sampling shovel 63 to sample the bentonite. Since each storage cup 5 is equipped with a sampling shovel 63, the cooperation between the sampling shovel 63 and the storage cup allows the sampling shovel 63 to sample only one type of bentonite, avoiding cross-contamination of bentonite caused by the reuse of the sampling shovel 63, which would affect the subsequent bentonite sampling. To ensure the accuracy of the test, after sampling, the storage cup 5 is placed inside the placement hole 4 of the partition 3, and the lid 2 and storage box 1 are closed. At this time, the positioning ring 75 contacts the cup lid 61. During this process, the positioning ring 75 compresses the support spring 74 through the support cylinder 72 and support plate 73, while the guide rod 11 guides and supports the movement of the support cylinder 72. When the lid 2 is closed, the positioning ring 75 compresses the cup lid 61 to prevent the storage cup 5 from shaking during transportation, thus improving the stability of carrying the storage cup 5.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
