Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sealing devices, specifically relating to a sealing device for soil transportation. Background Technology
[0002] As engineering construction places increasingly higher demands on various aspects of engineering technology, the engineering geological conditions of the construction area are related to the quality of the engineering route selection and the selection of corresponding design parameters. Therefore, geotechnical engineering exploration and soil sampling are required. Indoor tests have high requirements for the quality of on-site drilling sampling. Minimal disturbance of the original samples taken on-site is an important indicator to ensure the accuracy of test results. It is necessary to bring the original samples obtained by the sampler back to the laboratory for research and experimentation.
[0003] However, the transportation of undisturbed samples is a problem. Improper sealing during transportation can lead to soil moisture loss, and inadequate protection can disturb the soil itself, causing significant changes in its cementation properties. This can result in damage or even complete destruction of the undisturbed sample, making it unable to meet the test requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to design a soil transportation sealing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a soil transportation sealing device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art where improper handling during the transportation of experimental soil in the existing market leads to soil moisture loss or damage to the original sample.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A soil transport sealing device includes a sample container, which comprises a body and a cap threadedly connected to the body. The threaded connection ensures a tight seal between the cap and the body. A protective film is adhered to the inner wall of the body to prevent moisture evaporation from the soil sample. The body includes a fixed plate and a movable plate separated along the central axis of the body. The fixed plate has a circular bottom. One end of the fixed plate and the movable plate are hinged together by a hinge shaft. The movable plate can be opened or closed along the hinge shaft. The other end of the fixed plate and the movable plate are engaged by at least one set of snap fasteners to ensure a secure connection between the fixed plate and the movable plate, thereby ensuring a seal and maintaining the shape of the soil sample after it is placed in the sample container.
[0007] As a further improvement to this utility model, a first frosted surface is provided at the middle position of the top of the cylinder cap to facilitate writing marks. The top of the first frosted surface is flush with the top of the cylinder cap. The frosted surface facilitates writing marks, especially when there are multiple samples and soil samples from different locations need to be marked to avoid confusing the samples during later tests and affecting the test results.
[0008] As a further improvement to this utility model, a first groove is provided on the outer periphery of the first frosted surface, and a first handle is placed in the first groove. The first handle is hinged to the cylinder cover. When not in use, the first handle fits perfectly into the first groove, which can ensure the flatness of the top of the cylinder cover.
[0009] As a further improvement to this utility model, a vertical groove is provided on the side wall of the fixing piece near the buckle end. A movable block is inserted into the vertical groove near the buckle end. The movable piece inserted into the vertical groove can ensure a tight connection at the opening of the sample tube. A sealing strip is pasted on the inner wall of the vertical groove, which can further seal the soil sample.
[0010] As a further improvement to this utility model, a baffle is provided at the top of the circular cylinder bottom near the movable piece. The baffle abuts against the movable piece, and the baffle can ensure that the movable piece will not move further into the sample loading cylinder.
[0011] As a further improvement to this utility model, it also includes a collection box for placing the sample tube. The collection box includes a box body and a box cover hinged to the box body. The box body has several placement slots. A buffer layer is pasted on the inner wall of the placement slot. The shape of the buffer layer fits the shape of the sample tube. A buffer layer is pasted on the inner wall of the box cover. The sample tube is placed in the placement slot. The buffer layer is relatively soft and provides cushioning for the sample tube to prevent the sample tube from hitting the placement slot, which would cause the soil sample to be bumped and damaged.
[0012] As a further improvement to this utility model, the top of the box lid is provided with a second frosted surface for easy writing and marking. The top of the second frosted surface is flush with the top of the box lid. The second frosted surface makes it easy to mark the collection box to distinguish samples. The top of the box lid is provided with a second groove, and the second handle is placed in the second groove. The top of the box lid is hinged to the second handle. When not in use, the second handle is placed in the second groove, so that the top of the collection box is flat and it is convenient to place multiple collection boxes higher.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This utility model facilitates the placement of soil samples by setting a fixed plate and a movable plate separated along the central axis. A protective film is pasted inside the sample tube to ensure the retention of moisture in the soil sample. The fixed plate and the movable plate are connected and fixed by a buckle. A tube cap that is threaded to the sample tube is provided to ensure the sealing and integrity of the soil sample during transportation as much as possible.
[0015] This invention provides a collection box for placing the sample tubes, making them easy to carry and transport. The buffer layer inside the box protects the sample tubes from impacts, ensuring that the soil samples remain in their original condition. Attached Figure Description
