Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of water quality sampling, and more specifically, to a water quality sample storage device. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as environmental monitoring, water quality testing, and hydrological surveys, the storage and transportation of water samples are crucial for ensuring the accuracy of test data. However, existing water sample storage devices generally suffer from drawbacks such as unstable storage and susceptibility to shaking, which seriously affects the integrity of samples and the reliability of test results.

[0003] Current mainstream sample storage devices mostly use ordinary plastic boxes or foam board slot structures, lacking specific fixing designs for sampling bottles of different sizes. During transportation, even slight bumps will cause the sampling bottles to shake. For samples containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or easily precipitated suspended matter, shaking can lead to the volatilization of components.

[0004] More significantly, existing devices lack positioning structures when stacked in multiple layers, making them prone to interlayer displacement during transportation. This can lead to collisions and breakage of sampling bottles, which is even more pronounced in field sampling or long-distance transport scenarios. Operators must use additional tape, foam, and other materials for securing the samples, increasing preparation time and making it difficult to guarantee consistent fixation. Therefore, developing a storage device that can stably hold samples and reduce shaking is an urgent need to improve the efficiency and data quality of water quality testing. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, embodiments of this disclosure provide a water quality sample storage device, which solves the technical problem of significant vibration of the contents during transport in the prior art.

[0006] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a water sample storage device, comprising:

[0007] The box body and a pair of storage slots are provided on both sides of the box body;

[0008] A switch assembly, the switch assembly being disposed on the housing;

[0009] A storage and fixing component is disposed in the storage slot;

[0010] The storage and fixing assembly includes a base plate, which is fixed in the storage slot. The surface of the base plate has several placement slots. A round rod is installed in the storage slot and is horizontally fixed in the storage slot. Several pairs of limiting sleeves are movably connected to the round rod.

[0011] As a further technical solution, a storage bottle is inserted into the storage slot, the upper end of the storage bottle is fitted between the limiting sleeves, a stabilizing rod is provided in the storage slot, the limiting sleeve and the stabilizing rod are movably connected, and compression springs are fitted at both ends of the round rod.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the telescopic rod is movably connected inside the top of the box, and an outer cover is connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod, which is fitted onto the box.

[0013] As a further technical solution, a rectangular opening is provided at the top of the box, a handle is provided at the top of the box, the handle is positioned corresponding to the rectangular opening, slots are provided on both sides of the box, and locking blocks are provided at both ends of the top of the box.

[0014] As a further technical solution, a slot is provided on the side end face of the card block, and a transmission groove is provided on both sides of the box body. A card holder is movably connected in the transmission groove, one end of the card holder is located in the slot, and a pair of support springs are connected between the card holder and the inner surface of the transmission groove.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the surface of the limiting sleeve is provided with a pushing protrusion.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the outer cover has an overall U-shaped structure and completely covers the storage slot.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the distance between the limiting sleeve and the placement groove is matched with the height of the storage bottle.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0019] 1. In this disclosure, the storage and fixing component solves the problem of excessive vibration of sample bottles during transport through an elastic clamping design. A compression spring pushes the limiting sleeve to clamp the upper end of the bottle, while the placement groove provides stable support to the bottom, forming a double-layer fixation. A stabilizing rod prevents the limiting sleeve from shifting, ensuring reliable clamping. This structure is adaptable to storage bottles of different diameters, preventing sample evaporation or sedimentation caused by shaking, protecting sample integrity. Simultaneously, independent storage on both sides facilitates classification, improves retrieval efficiency, and meets the needs of field sampling and long-distance transportation.

[0020] 2. In this disclosure, the switch assembly, through its convenient locking design, solves the problem of cumbersome sealing and opening of traditional devices. The outer cover moves up and down along the telescopic rod to open and close the storage slot. The locking block and slot are initially positioned, and the card holder and slot lock together, providing double fixation to prevent accidental opening. Pressing the card holder unlocks the device, making operation effortless. The U-shaped outer cover completely covers the storage slot, protecting the sample from dust and moisture, and the handle design makes it easy to carry. This structure improves the device's sealing and portability, ensures a stable sample storage environment, and adapts to diverse transport scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a water sample storage device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0034] The box body 1 and a pair of storage slots 2 are provided on both sides of the box body 1;

[0035] Switch assembly 4 is disposed on the housing 1;

[0036] A storage and fixing component 3 is disposed in the storage slot 2;

[0037] The storage and fixing assembly 3 includes a base plate 3-1, which is fixed in the storage groove 2. The surface of the base plate 3-1 has several placement grooves 3-2. A round rod 3-3 is provided in the storage groove 2 and is horizontally fixed in the storage groove 2. Several pairs of limiting sleeves 3-4 are movably connected to the round rod 3-3. A storage bottle 3-5 is inserted in the storage groove 2, and the upper end of the storage bottle 3-5 is fitted between the limiting sleeves 3-4. A stabilizing rod 3-6 is provided in the storage groove 2, and the limiting sleeves 3-4 are movably connected to the stabilizing rod 3-6. Compression springs 3-7 are fitted at both ends of the round rod 3-3.

[0038] In some examples, to achieve orderly access and stable placement of the storage bottle 3-5 within the storage slots 2 on both sides, a storage fixing component 3 is designed. This component includes a horizontally fixed base plate 3-1 within the storage slot 2, with several evenly distributed placement slots 3-2 on its surface, adapted to the bottom shape of the storage bottle 3-5 to provide bottom support for the bottle. A horizontally fixed round rod 3-3 within the storage slot 2 passes through several pairs of limiting sleeves 3-4. The limiting sleeves 3-4 can slide along the round rod 3-3, forming a clamping space between each pair of limiting sleeves 3-4. The upper end of the storage bottle 3-5 is fitted into these spaces, limiting the bottle's swaying through lateral clamping. A stabilizing rod 3-6 within the storage slot 2 is parallel to the round rod 3-3, and the limiting sleeves 3-4 are movably fitted onto the stabilizing rod 3-6, enhancing the stability of the limiting sleeves 3-4 during sliding and preventing displacement. The compression springs 3-7 at both ends of the round rod 3-3 abut against the outermost limiting sleeve 3-4 respectively. The elastic force pushes the limiting sleeves 3-4 closer together, so that the middle limiting sleeve 3-4 tightly clamps the storage bottle 3-5.

[0039] When using the storage bottle 3-5, simply move the limiting sleeve 3-4 to both sides to compress the spring and widen the clamping gap for easy removal. Similarly, when placing the bottle, move the limiting sleeve 3-4 to create a gap, then release it. The spring will push the limiting sleeve 3-4 back to clamp the bottle. The left and right storage slots 2 operate independently, allowing for separate storage and retrieval without interference. The upper and lower engagement of the placement slot 3-2 and the limiting sleeve 3-4 provides three-dimensional positioning of the storage bottle 3-5, preventing tipping. The elastic clamping of the compression spring 3-7 accommodates storage bottles 3-5 of different diameters, improving versatility. The dual guidance of the stabilizing rod 3-6 and the round rod 3-3 ensures smooth sliding of the limiting sleeve 3-4, preventing jamming. The independent layout on both sides facilitates the categorized storage of different water quality samples, eliminating the need to disturb other samples during retrieval and reducing interference. This component, through elastic clamping and orderly layout, achieves safe storage and convenient retrieval of water quality samples.

[0040] like Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the switch assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a pair of telescopic rods 4-1. The telescopic rods 4-1 are movably fitted inside the top of the housing 1. An outer cover 4-2 is connected to the upper end of the telescopic rods 4-1. The outer cover 4-2 is fitted onto the housing 1. A rectangular opening 4-3 is provided at the top of the housing 1. A handle 4-4 is provided at the top of the housing 1. The handle 4-4 is positioned opposite to the rectangular opening 4-3. Slots 4-5 are provided on both sides of the housing 1. Blocks 4-6 are provided at both ends of the top of the housing 1. Slots 4-7 are provided on the side end face of the blocks 4-6. Transmission grooves 4-8 are provided on both sides of the housing 1. A bracket 4-9 is movably fitted inside the transmission groove 4-8. One end of the bracket 4-9 is located inside the slot 4-7. A pair of support springs 4-10 are connected between the bracket 4-9 and the inner surface of the transmission groove 4-8.

[0041] In some examples, a switch assembly 4 is designed to enable the storage slot 2 to open vertically upwards and close sealed. This assembly includes a pair of telescopic rods 4-1 symmetrically distributed inside the top of the box body 1. The outer cover 4-2 connected to the upper end can slide up and down along the telescopic rods 4-1, forming a seal when fitted onto the box body 1, and opening the storage slot 2 when pulled upwards. The rectangular opening 4-3 at the top of the box body 1 corresponds to the handle 4-4, facilitating hand application when carrying the device. The slots 4-5 on both sides of the box body 1 are adapted to the locking blocks 4-6 at the bottom of the outer cover 4-2. When the outer cover 4-2 is lowered and closed, the locking blocks 4-6 are inserted into the slots 4-5 for initial positioning. The slots 4-7 of the locking blocks 4-6 at both ends of the top of the box body 1 cooperate with the brackets 4-9 in the transmission groove 4-8. Under the pushing force of the support spring 4-10, one end of the bracket 4-9 is inserted into the slot 4-7, locking the outer cover 4-2 to the box body 1. When opening, press the card holder 4-9 inside the transmission groove 4-8, compressing the support spring 4-10 to disengage the card holder 4-9 from the slot 4-7, then pull the outer cover 4-2 upwards. The telescopic rod 4-1 extends simultaneously, fully opening the storage slot 2. When closing, press down on the outer cover 4-2 to retract the telescopic rod 4-1. After the locking block 4-6 inserts into the slot 4-5, the support spring 4-10 pushes the card holder 4-9 back into the slot 4-7, completing the locking. The guiding action of the telescopic rod 4-1 ensures that the outer cover 4-2 rises and falls vertically, avoiding deviation and jamming. The initial positioning of the locking block 4-6 and the slot 4-5, combined with the locking of the card holder 4-9, achieves double fixation, preventing the outer cover 4-2 from opening accidentally. The elastic drive of the support spring 4-10 makes the locking operation convenient, requiring no additional tools. The sealing design of the outer cover 4-2 is dustproof and moisture-proof, protecting water samples from contamination. This component achieves safe closure and quick opening of the storage slot 2 through convenient switching operation and reliable locking structure, balancing sample protection and ease of operation.

[0042] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the surfaces of the limiting sleeves 3-4 are all provided with pushing protrusions 5.

[0043] In some examples, the pushing protrusion 5 on the surface of the limiting sleeve 3-4 is a raised structure, making it easier for the user to move the limiting sleeve 3-4. When it is necessary to access the storage bottle 3-5, the fingers can use the protrusion to apply force and easily push the limiting sleeve 3-4 to both sides to compress the spring, widening the clamping gap. This makes the operation more effortless and convenient, avoiding the difficulty of moving the limiting sleeve 3-4 due to its smooth surface, improving access efficiency, and is especially suitable for scenarios where samples are frequently retrieved.

[0044] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer cover 4-2 has an overall U-shaped structure and completely covers the storage slot 2.

[0045] In some examples, the outer cover 4-2 has a U-shaped structure, with the sides and top connected to form a closed frame that completely covers the storage slot 2. When closed, this structure can completely cover the storage slot 2, effectively preventing dust and moisture from entering and protecting the internal water samples. The U-shaped design fits the contour of the box 1, making it less prone to jamming during lifting and lowering, and also enhances the overall sealing of the structure, ensuring a clean sample storage environment.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the distance between the limiting sleeve 3-4 and the placement groove 3-2 matches the height of the storage bottle 3-5.

[0047] In some examples, the distance between the limiting sleeve 3-4 and the placement slot 3-2 matches the height of the storage bottle 3-5, ensuring stable support for both the top and bottom of the storage bottle 3-5 after it is placed. The limiting sleeve 3-4 clamps the upper part of the bottle, while the placement slot 3-2 supports the bottom. This appropriate spacing prevents the bottle from wobbling or tilting, thus preventing sample spillage. Simultaneously, the suitable spacing ensures that the bottle remains vertical within the storage slot 2, facilitating neat arrangement and rapid sample identification.

[0048] In actual use: Push the limiting sleeves 3-4 to both sides to compress the springs 3-7, placing the storage bottle 3-5 into the placement slot 3-2 of the base plate 3-1. Release the limiting sleeves 3-4 so that they clamp the upper end of the bottle under the action of the springs. The stabilizing rod 3-6 ensures that the limiting sleeves 3-4 do not shift. When closing, press down on the outer cover 4-2 to retract the telescopic rod 4-1, insert the locking block 4-6 into the slot 4-5, and the support spring 4-10 pushes the card holder 4-9 into the slot 4-7 to lock it in place. When opening, press the card holder 4-9 to disengage it from the slot 4-7, and pull up the outer cover 4-2 to open the storage slot 2. Using the carrying device 4-4, samples can be stored separately in the storage slots 2 on both sides. The storage bottles 3-5 are stably fixed throughout the process, reducing the impact of vibration, making them convenient to use and preventing interference.
