Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample storage technology, specifically to an integrated box for geological sample storage and classification. Background Technology

[0002] Engineering geological analysis is an indispensable part of geological research and exploration. It requires geological samples to conduct geological condition experiments, tests, and analyses, thus necessitating storage containers to store the collected geological samples.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN223059550U discloses a sample storage box for geological analysis of deeply buried rock masses. It features a retractable, light-blocking and dust-proof sealing cover for easy sample storage and retrieval. The cover is opened by rotating a movable plate, further enhancing sample storage and retrieval, thus improving ease of use and sample protection. A reset clamping mechanism further improves the safety and light-blocking / dust-proofing performance during transportation. An insulation mechanism provides thermal insulation during transport, significantly enhancing the functionality of the sample storage box.

[0004] Existing sample storage boxes still have certain shortcomings in practical applications. For example, in the existing technology, a single sample storage box can usually only store a single geological sample. When multiple geological samples need to be stored and transported, multiple sample storage boxes are required. Some sample storage boxes also have several separate and individually set storage boxes inside. However, the sample storage boxes in the existing technology are arranged in a row, which makes the overall size of the box too large and inconvenient to carry. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated storage and classification box for geological samples to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated box for storing and classifying geological samples, including an outer shell and a top cover. The bottom of the outer shell is movably connected to an annular plate via a bearing. A support block is provided on the inner side of the annular plate. Several connecting plates are fixed between the annular plate and the support block. A partition plate is fixed at the top of the connecting plate. An arc-shaped plate is fixed between the inner end faces of two adjacent partition plates.

[0007] A placement cavity is formed between two adjacent partition plates, the storage box is placed in the placement cavity, and several water outlet holes are opened on the bottom plate of the storage box.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the storage box is provided with an identification plate.

[0009] Preferably, a water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer casing.

[0010] Preferably, a plug is inserted into one side of the water outlet pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom plate of the storage box is fixed with an arc-shaped protrusion, and the bottom of the outer shell is fixed with a number of top plates equal to the number of arc-shaped protrusions.

[0012] A pivot is provided at the top of the support block, and a handwheel is fixed at the top of the pivot.

[0013] Preferably, a positioning block is fixed at the bottom of the outer shell, and both the positioning block and the support block are provided with insertion holes, and a number of slots are provided on the outer side of the insertion holes;

[0014] Several limiting plates, equal in number to the number of slots, are fixed on the bottom shaft.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This integrated geological sample storage and classification box has a cylindrical outer shell and several storage boxes inside the shell. Different types of geological samples are stored in the storage boxes. In addition, since the storage boxes are arranged in a circular array inside the shell, the volume of the sample storage boxes is reduced, making them easy to carry.

[0017] Meanwhile, several water outlets are provided on the bottom plate of the storage box. In this way, when storing geological samples, the water on the geological samples flows into the bottom of the outer shell through the water outlets, avoiding the geological samples from being soaked in water and reducing the damage to the samples caused by water.

[0018] Furthermore, the device is equipped with an arc-shaped convex plate, a support block, and a rotating shaft. When geological samples need to be removed, the operator turns the handwheel, which drives the support block to rotate via the rotating shaft. The top plate then exerts a pushing force on the arc-shaped convex plate, causing the storage box to move upwards. This allows the top of the storage box to extend out of the outer shell, making it easier for the operator to remove the storage boxes one by one, thus improving the device's practicality.

[0026] 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.

[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an integrated box for storing and classifying geological samples, including a cylindrical outer shell 1 and a top cover 2. The outer shell 1 and the top cover 2 can be connected and fixed by threads or by other snap-fit ​​methods. A handle is fixed at the top of the top cover 2. When using the threaded connection method, the user can open and close the box by turning the handle.

[0028] like Figure 3As shown, an annular plate 401 is movably connected to the bottom of the outer casing 1 via a bearing. That is, the outer casing 1 is fixed to the inner ring of the bearing, while the outer ring of the bearing is fixed to the annular plate 401. A support block 404 is provided inside the annular plate 401. Several connecting plates 402 are fixed between the annular plate 401 and the support block 404. In this design, the number of connecting plates 402 is set to six, and the connecting plates 402 are arranged in a circular array between the annular plate 401 and the support block 404. A partition plate 403 is fixed at the top of the connecting plate 402. The width of the partition plate 403 is 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the width of the connecting plate 402, and the partition plate 403 is located at the middle of the top of the connecting plate 402. Furthermore, an arc-shaped plate 405 is fixed between the inner end faces of two adjacent partition plates 403. Thus, between two adjacent partition plates 403... A placement cavity is formed, and a support structure is formed between the side of the connecting plate 402 and the annular plate 401. The storage box 3 is placed on top of the support structure of the placement cavity. To prevent water from accumulating on the bottom of the geological sample and damaging it (such as water dissolving soluble minerals in the sample (such as salts, gypsum, etc.), changing its chemical composition and structure), several water outlet holes are opened on the bottom plate of the storage box 3. In this way, when storing geological samples, the water on the geological samples flows into the bottom of the outer shell 1 through the water outlet holes, avoiding the geological samples from being soaked in water. The water at the bottom of the outer shell 1 is discharged through the water outlet pipe 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1. In addition, a sealing head 601 made of rubber material can be inserted into one side of the water outlet pipe 6, so that after the sample is taken out, the box can be moved to a suitable outdoor location for drainage.

[0029] To enable the classification and storage of each type of geological sample, an identification plate 301 is installed on the top of the storage box 3. The collectors can write the type of geological sample on a sticky note and then attach the sticky note to the identification plate 301 of the storage box 3.

[0030] To facilitate the removal of storage box 3, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an arc-shaped convex plate 508 is fixed to the bottom plate of the storage box 3. It can be understood that the plates on both sides of the arc-shaped convex plate 508 are lower than the middle plate. In addition, a number of top plates 507 equal to the number of arc-shaped convex plates 508 are fixed to the bottom of the outer shell 1. When storing geological samples, the top plate 507 is located between two arc-shaped convex plates 508. A rotating shaft 502 is provided on the top of the support block 404, and a handwheel 506 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 502.

[0031] When geological samples need to be removed, the staff turns the handwheel 506, which drives the support block 404 to rotate through the shaft 502. The top plate 507 generates a pushing force on the arc-shaped convex plate 508, thereby moving the storage box 3 upward. This causes the top of the storage box 3 to extend out of the outer shell 1, making it easier for the staff to remove the storage boxes 3 one by one.

[0032] To prevent the storage box 3 from being removed due to disordered rotation of the support block 404, a positioning block 501 is fixed at the bottom of the outer shell 1. Both the positioning block 501 and the support block 404 are provided with insertion holes 503, and a number of slots 504 are provided on the outer side of the insertion holes 503. The number of slots 504 is at least twice the number of arc-shaped protrusions 508. In addition, a number of limiting plates 505 equal to the number of slots 504 are fixed on the bottom shaft of the rotating shaft 502. It can be known that the insertion holes 503 are adapted to the rotating shaft 502 and the limiting plates 505 are adapted to the slots 504.

[0033] To supplement this solution, when storing geological samples, different types of geological samples are placed in their respective storage boxes 3. When a geological sample needs to be removed, the operator opens the top cover 2 and pulls the rotating shaft 502 upward until the limiting plate 505 disengages from the slot 504 of the positioning block 501 (at this time, the limiting plate 505 is still inserted in the slot 504 on the support block 404). Then, the operator turns the handwheel 506, which drives the support block 404 to rotate through the rotating shaft 502. The top plate 507 generates a pushing force on the arc-shaped convex plate 508, thereby moving the storage box 3 upward so that the top of the storage box 3 extends out of the outer shell 1. Then, the rotating shaft 502 is moved downward, and the limiting plate 505 is inserted into the slot 504 of the positioning block 501 to position the rotating shaft 502. Finally, the operator removes the storage boxes 3 one by one.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended embodiments and their equivalents.
