Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geological sample storage technology, and in particular to a storage device for geological samples that can be classified and stored. Background Technology

[0002] Geological samples are physical materials collected from the Earth's surface or subsurface for studying geological structures, rock and mineral composition, geological history, and geochemical characteristics. They form the foundation of geological research. Through the analysis and testing of these samples, scientists can reveal crucial information such as the Earth's evolution, resource distribution patterns, and the causes of geological hazards. Preventing physical damage, chemical weathering, or biological erosion during storage ensures that original characteristics (such as structure, texture, and mineral composition) are preserved. By collecting rock samples from different strata and analyzing their mineral composition and isotopic ages, major geological events such as plate tectonics, volcanic activity, and changes in sedimentary environments can be traced. Collecting rock samples from fault zones or folded areas and analyzing their deformation characteristics (such as the degree of fragmentation and mineral orientation) allows for the inference of tectonic stress direction and the formation mechanism of geological structures, providing a basis for earthquake risk assessment. Geological data can be used to estimate geological conditions and select engineering sites. By sampling soil and rock debris (such as collecting samples of river sediments), the abnormal distribution of ore-forming elements such as copper, gold, and uranium can be analyzed to locate the approximate range of concealed ore bodies. In oil exploration, drilling cuttings or formation fluids (such as groundwater samples) can be collected and analyzed for hydrocarbons (such as methane and heavy hydrocarbons) and biomarkers to determine whether the formation has oil-generating conditions or oil and gas potential. In the early stages of construction, highway, and tunnel projects, the bearing capacity, compressibility, and permeability of soil and rock masses can be analyzed through drilling sampling (such as soil samples obtained from standard penetration tests) and field testing to provide geological data for foundation type selection (such as pile foundations and raft foundations) and engineering design.

[0003] In the existing technology, when storing different types of geological samples, the geological samples need to be placed in a storage device, and when needed, the geological samples are taken out of the storage device for research and analysis.

[0004] However, existing geological sample storage devices are usually simple in structure and cannot effectively classify and store multiple different types of geological samples, leading to difficulties in sample retrieval and management. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5A storage device for classifying and storing geological samples includes a base plate 1. Two rotating shafts 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. When storing geological samples, the base plate 1 supports the storage structure and the samples together. Several carrier boxes 3 are rotatably connected to the surfaces of the rotating shafts 2. Geological samples are placed inside the carrier boxes 3 for storage. When storing or removing samples, the carrier boxes 3 are rotated via the rotating shafts 2 to expose their interiors, and then the geological samples are placed inside. The carrier boxes 3 are then rotated back between the base plate 1 and a shielding plate 8. The same steps are used to remove geological samples. Two carrier boxes 3 are positioned at the same height for storing geological samples. An anti-rotation mechanism 4 is provided between the carrier boxes 3. For long-term storage, the anti-rotation mechanism 4 fixes the position of the carrier boxes 3, preventing misalignment during storage. During the process, leakage of the carrier box 3 could cause problems with the geological samples. This mechanism can protect the geological samples and, when sampling is needed, easily open the anti-rotation mechanism 4 to rotate the carrier box 3 and allow the geological samples to leak out. Inside the carrier box 3, there is a pop-out plate 7 via the pop-out mechanism 6. When sampling is needed, if the gap between some geological samples and the carrier box 3 is too small, making it inconvenient to remove the geological samples from the carrier box 3, the pop-out mechanism 6 can be used to raise the pop-out plate 7, raising the geological samples on the pop-out plate 7, making it easy to remove the geological samples from the carrier box 3. This ensures that the geological samples are very convenient to enter and exit the carrier box 3, saving time and improving efficiency. A baffle plate 8 is fixedly connected between the tops of the two rotating shafts 2. The top of the baffle plate 8 is rotatably connected to a handle 9. After all the carrier boxes 3 are filled, all the geological samples can be moved to a suitable position for placement through the handle 9 on the baffle plate 8, facilitating the storage of the geological samples.

[0024] Furthermore, the anti-rotation mechanism 4 includes an L-shaped receiving groove 401 fixedly connected to the top of the carrier box 3. The bottom of the carrier box 3 has an insertion groove 402. Inside the receiving groove 401, a U-shaped insertion rod 404 is elastically connected via a compression spring 403. One end of the insertion rod 404 passes through the interior of an adjacent insertion groove 402, and the uppermost insertion rod 404 passes through the top of the baffle plate 8. After all the carrier boxes 3 are filled with geological samples, all the carrier boxes 3 are rotated. During the rotation, the insertion rod 404 needs to enter the adjacent insertion groove 402 to fix the carrier boxes 3 together. The uppermost insertion rod 404 enters the baffle plate 8 to ensure the stability of the carrier box 3, thereby ensuring the safety of the geological samples inside the carrier box 3. The elasticity of the compression spring 403 can ensure that the insertion rod 404 is always located in the adjacent insertion groove 402, ensuring the stability of the carrier box 3 and preventing the carrier box 3 from rotating easily.

[0025] Furthermore, a force-bearing block 405 is rotatably connected to the surface of the carrier box 3. One end of the force-bearing block 405 passes through the interior of the receiving groove 401, and a pressure block 406 is fixedly connected to the other end of the force-bearing block 405. The pressure block 406 passes through the interior of the adjacent insertion rod 404. When it is necessary to rotate the carrier box 3 to remove the geological sample inside, the force-bearing block 405 can be rotated to drive the pressure block 406 to rotate together. The pressure block 406 can squeeze the insertion rod 404, causing the insertion rod 404 to descend, thereby causing the insertion rod 404 to disengage from the adjacent insertion groove 402. It also rotates the force-bearing block 405 on the carrier box 3 below it, so that the carrier box 3 is no longer restricted and can rotate to leak out the geological sample, thereby removing the geological sample.

[0026] Furthermore, the ejection mechanism 6 includes a limiting rod 601 passing through the side of the carrier box 3. The ejection plate 7 is elastically connected to the bottom of the carrier box 3 via an ejection spring 602. One end of the limiting rod 601 passes through the interior of the ejection plate 7. When it is necessary to remove the geological sample from inside the carrier box 3, the limiting rod 601 can be pulled outward, causing the limiting rod 601 to leave the ejection plate 7. At this time, the ejection plate 7 is no longer restricted, and can move upward by the elastic force of the ejection spring 602, thereby lifting the geological sample on the ejection plate 7 and making it convenient to remove the geological sample from inside the carrier box 3.

[0027] Furthermore, the limiting rod 601 is elastically connected to the side of the carrier box 3 via a compression spring 603. When not in use, the limiting rod 601 can be kept inside the ejector plate 7 by the elastic force of the compression spring 603, ensuring that the ejector plate 7 will not rise. When needed, the limiting rod 601 can be pulled to facilitate the removal of the geological sample.

[0028] Furthermore, a U-shaped handle 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the carrier box 3. When it is necessary to rotate the carrier box 3, the force block 405 can be rotated first, and then the carrier box 3 can be easily rotated by the handle 5, thereby leaking out the geological samples inside the carrier box 3.

[0029] In summary:

[0030] When storing geological samples, different geological samples can be placed inside carrier boxes 3 at different heights, making it convenient to classify and store the samples. When it is necessary to remove the geological sample from between the base plate 1 and the shielding plate 8, the force block 405 on the surface of the corresponding carrier box 3 and the lower carrier box 3 can be rotated. This rotates the pressure block 406 inside the receiving groove 401, and the rotation of the pressure block 406 compresses the insertion rod 404, causing it to descend and its top to leave the insertion groove 402, thus freeing the carrier box 3 from restriction. The carrier box 3 can then be easily rotated on the rotating shaft 2 using the handle 5. After releasing the force block 405, the elastic force of the compression spring 403 causes the insertion rod 404 to rise again. When it is necessary to easily remove the geological sample from inside the carrier box 3, it can be pulled outwards. The limiting rod 601 is disengaged from the ejector plate 7, and then the ejector plate 7 rises due to the elastic force of the ejector spring 602, causing the geological sample to rise and be easily removed from the carrier box 3. After that, the limiting rod 601 is released, and the limiting rod 601 is easily reset by the elastic force of the compression spring 603. After all the geological samples are removed, the handle 9 drives the shielding plate 8 and the base plate 1 to move to a suitable position to place new geological samples, and continue to store the geological samples. With the above structure, when it is necessary to store geological samples, they can be conveniently classified and placed by carrier boxes 3 of different heights. When it is necessary to remove the geological samples, the carrier box 3 can be easily rotated from the side to easily expose the geological samples, making it easy to remove the geological samples from the inside of the carrier box 3, thus improving the efficiency of geological sample storage and removal.
