Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental testing, and in particular to an environmental sample transport box with a honeycomb deformable partition. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of environmental monitoring technology, higher requirements have been placed on the reliability and safety of sample transportation. Traditional environmental monitoring sample transportation typically uses ordinary boxes or simple containers, which have significant drawbacks: First, the boxes lack specific cushioning and securing structures, making it easy for sample containers of different shapes and sizes to shift and collide during transport, leading to container damage or sample leakage; second, when transporting multiple types of samples together, the lack of effective physical isolation measures can easily cause cross-contamination, affecting the accuracy of subsequent test results; and third, conventional insulation materials are insufficient to meet the temperature stability requirements of special samples, especially during long-distance transportation, where environmental temperature fluctuations may cause sample deterioration.
[0003] In existing technologies, some improvement solutions attempt to enhance seismic performance by adding partitions or filling with cushioning materials. For example, while partitions with honeycomb structures can provide some cushioning, their fixed shape is difficult to adapt to the shape of irregular samples, and they lack dynamic deformation capabilities, limiting their adaptability to containers of different sizes.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, developing an environmental sample transport box with an integrated multifunctional structure to overcome the shortcomings of traditional transport boxes in sample protection, temperature control, and adaptability is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model develops an environmental sample transport box with a honeycomb-shaped deformable partition. The honeycomb-shaped deformable partition achieves dynamic fixation and buffering of the sample, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of traditional transport boxes in terms of sample protection and adaptability. The device includes an outer casing with a lid on its upper side, a storage compartment inside the outer casing, a cooling unit above the storage compartment, and a heating unit below the storage compartment.
[0006] The storage section is used to store the items to be tested. Since cold air naturally sinks, the refrigeration section is located above the storage section. Since hot air naturally rises, the heating section is located below the storage section. The temperature inside the storage section is regulated by the refrigeration section and the heating section.
[0007] Furthermore, the storage section is vertically provided with multiple partitions, which divide the storage section into different storage areas. Multiple vertical grooves are opened on the partitions, and at least three horizontal grooves are opened on the partitions. Telescopic plates are provided between the horizontal grooves, and honeycomb partitions are provided between the vertical grooves.
[0008] Because the storage section is divided into multiple independent, sealed areas by the partition plates, with only an opening at the top, it is more convenient to place the telescopic plates when placing partitions in the transverse slots. When a transverse partition needs to be placed, the telescopic plate is first shortened, then moved to the position of the transverse slot, and then extended to secure it between the two transverse slots. By setting the telescopic plates and honeycomb partitions at different positions on the partition plates, the storage section can be divided into different small areas to accommodate different samples.
[0009] Furthermore, a placement frame is provided between the partition plates, a rectangular placement groove is provided inside the placement frame, and multiple short vertical grooves are provided on both sides of the placement groove, with honeycomb partitions provided in the short vertical grooves as needed.
[0010] Furthermore, telescopic strips are provided on both sides of the placement frame, and a handle is provided on one side of the placement frame. The handle is used to control the telescopic strips to extend and retract to both sides of the placement frame, thereby securing the placement frame in the transverse groove through the telescopic strips.
[0011] In use, first pull up the handle to retract the telescopic strip inwards, then place the placement frame in the appropriate position in the storage section. Next, lower the handle, and the telescopic strip extends outwards, securing the placement frame in the horizontal groove. The placement groove within the placement frame is smaller than the storage space divided by the partition plate, allowing for the storage of smaller samples.
[0012] Furthermore, the honeycomb partition includes rectangular partitions and corrugated partitions.
[0013] Preferably, the honeycomb partition material is silicone.
[0014] The rectangular partition can be used to separate block-shaped samples for testing, while the corrugated partition can be used to separate samples loaded in cylindrical bottles through its wavy arc. The different honeycomb partitions effectively prevent sample movement during transportation. The honeycomb partition material is silicone, which has good elasticity and can adapt to the volume changes of phase change materials. Furthermore, silicone has a temperature resistance range of -50℃ to 200℃, making it suitable for different transportation temperatures.
[0015] Furthermore, a placement rack is provided between the partitions, and the placement rack has at least three placement layers from top to bottom. The bottom of each placement layer is covered with multiple rectangular protrusions arranged in parallel, and a pair of handles extend from the top of the placement rack.
[0016] The placement rack is used to place samples that are not suitable for direct storage in the storage section. The protrusions can increase the friction at the bottom of the placement layer to prevent the samples from moving. The handle makes it easy for staff to take out or put down the placement rack.
[0017] Depending on the requirements for storing and transporting samples, staff can choose to use honeycomb partitions of different shapes to ensure that samples do not move or collide with each other during transportation. For samples of different heights, the height of each storage unit can be controlled by adding telescopic plates. For some samples that are not suitable for direct storage in the storage section, they can be stored and transported through the placement cabinet.
[0018] Furthermore, the storage section is surrounded by an insulation layer, which is a hollow interlayer with an inner layer made of polypropylene and an interlayer made of vacuum.
[0019] Polypropylene has a thermal conductivity of only 0.2 W / (m・K), which is only 1 / 80 of that of traditional 304 stainless steel. The interlayer is vacuum-treated to further enhance its heat preservation capabilities.
[0020] Furthermore, the refrigeration unit includes at least four refrigeration blocks disposed on each side above the storage unit, and the refrigeration blocks are semiconductor refrigeration chips.
[0021] Preferably, the cooling block uses aluminum alloy heat sinks.
[0022] The use of semiconductor cooling chips requires less power from the power supply. The aluminum alloy heat sink has a thermal conductivity of approximately 237 W / (m·K), which can quickly dissipate waste heat from the cooling chip and improve energy efficiency.
[0023] Furthermore, the heating element uses a ceramic heating wire.
[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of the outer casing is provided with four thin support legs. These support legs can be inserted into the bottom of the transport vehicle to further secure the outer casing during transportation.
[0025] Furthermore, a solar panel is installed on the outside of the box cover. The solar panel can increase the battery life of the device.
[0026] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves flexible adjustment of the height of the storage unit through a combination of a vertical partition plate and a sliding telescopic plate by using a dynamic modular partition design. It is combined with rectangular and wavy silicone honeycomb partitions to adapt to block and cylindrical bottle samples respectively. The silicone elastic dynamic wrapping of the container suppresses displacement and collision caused by transportation vibration. Attached Figure Description
