One end of the front support plate and the rear support plate are fixedly connected to the end of the auxiliary slider, and the other end is fixedly connected to the end of the drawer, so that the front support plate and the rear support plate are both inclined.

[0005] Furthermore, both the front support plate and the rear support plate are semi-circular, and multiple radial shear holes are provided on the front support plate and the rear support plate.

[0006] Furthermore, a central support plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the auxiliary slider. The central support plate is trapezoidal and has vertical shear holes.

[0007] Furthermore, the left and right sides of the drawer are slidably connected to the cabinet via primary slide rails; the auxiliary slider is slidably connected to the cabinet via secondary slide rails.

[0008] Furthermore, the height of the panel is greater than the height of the drawer; multiple drawers are vertically distributed on the box body, and the bottom drawer is slidably connected to the box body via a three-stage slide rail located on the bottom surface of the drawer.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the drawer is fixed with horizontal reinforcing ribs, and there are three reinforcing ribs corresponding to the front support plate, the middle support plate, and the rear support plate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This application uses a drawer that pulls out horizontally to store and retrieve mineral rock samples. Compared to a cylinder-lifting method, this application saves on the use of a cylinder and avoids wasting space. Compared to ordinary drawers, this application strengthens the bottom of the drawer by adding a support component, preventing the bottom of the drawer from breaking due to the weight of the mineral rock samples. Furthermore, the support component is located on both sides of the bottom of the drawer, without occupying the storage space below, thus increasing the space utilization rate inside the box.

[0016] 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.

[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated mineral exploration sample storage box includes a box body 1. Multiple drawers 2 are slidably disposed within the box body 1. The left and right sides of each drawer 2 are slidably connected to the box body 1 via primary slide rails 3. The corresponding rail grooves of the primary slide rails 3 are fixed to the side walls of the box body 1. The primary slide rails 3 can be damping slide rails. A panel 4 is fixed to the front of each drawer 2, and a handle 5 is fixed to the panel 4. The height of the panel 4 is greater than the height of the drawer 2, allowing for additional storage space above each drawer 2. Support components 6 are fixed to the left and right sides below each drawer 2. For the lower drawer 2, a notch 7 is provided on the panel 4 corresponding to the support component 6 above it. When the upper drawer 2 is pulled out, the support component 6 can slide out through the notch 7.

[0018] like Figure 3As shown, the support assembly 6 includes an auxiliary slider 8, which is slidably connected to the housing 1 via a secondary slide rail 9. The secondary slide rail 9, like the primary slide rail 3, can be a damping slide rail. A front support plate 10 and a rear support plate 11 are fixedly connected between the auxiliary slider 8 and the drawer 2. The length of the auxiliary slider 8 is less than the length of the drawer 2, but the length of the groove corresponding to the secondary slide rail 9 is the same as the length of the groove of the primary slide rail 3, to ensure that the auxiliary slider 8 will not disengage from the groove within its sliding range. One end of the front support plate 10 and the rear support plate 11 are fixedly connected to the end of the auxiliary slider 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to the end of the drawer 2, making both the front support plate 10 and the rear support plate 11 inclined. The inclined support plates can reduce the space occupied by the support assembly 6. Specifically, both the front support plate 10 and the rear support plate 11 are semi-circular, with the convex parts facing the front and rear sides of the sliding direction, respectively, making the support effect of the support plates more stable. The front support plate 10 and the rear support plate 11 are provided with a plurality of radial shear holes 12, which can enhance the structural strength and reduce the weight. Preferably, a middle support plate 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the auxiliary slider 8. The middle support plate 13 is trapezoidal and is provided with vertical shear holes 12.

[0019] Preferably, the bottom surface of drawer 2 is fixed with transverse reinforcing ribs 14. Three reinforcing ribs 14 are provided, corresponding to the front support plate 10, middle support plate 13, and rear support plate 11. The upper ends of the two front support plates 10 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the reinforcing rib 14, the upper ends of the two middle support plates 13 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the reinforcing rib 14, and the upper ends of the two rear support plates 11 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the reinforcing rib 14. The reinforcing ribs 14 further enhance the strength of the bottom of drawer 2.

[0020] Multiple drawers 2 are vertically distributed on the box body 1. The number of columns is not limited and can be selected according to actual needs; this embodiment uses two columns as an example. The bottom drawer 2 is slidably connected to the box body 1 via a three-stage slide rail 15 located on the bottom surface of the drawer 2. The three-stage slide rail 15, like the first-stage slide rail 3, is a damping slide rail, used to provide sliding support for the bottom drawer 2.
