[0003] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and provide a wastewater sample storage device that can facilitate the storage and retrieval of sample tubes.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a wastewater sample storage device, including an outer frame, a storage box slidably disposed inside the outer frame, a shell disposed at one end of the storage box inside the outer frame, a plurality of placement slots disposed inside the storage box, a sample tube disposed inside the placement slot, a slidable baffle disposed at the top of the placement slot, and a cavity disposed inside the shell, the cavity communicating with the placement slot;
[0006] A sealing structure is provided inside the housing, and there are multiple sets of the sealing structure, each corresponding to a placement groove;
[0007] A pop-up structure is located at both ends inside the outer frame and is connected to the storage box.
[0008] Furthermore, the sealing structure includes:
[0009] The support rod is fixedly connected to the upper side inside the housing;
[0010] A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the lower side inside the housing. The rotating rod is located diagonally below the support rod, and a gear is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the rotating rod.
[0011] A pull rope, one end of which is fixedly connected to a baffle, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a rotating rod, and the pull rope is wound around a support rod;
[0012] Spring 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement groove. A receiving plate is provided at the upper end of the spring 1, and a rack is provided at one end of the receiving plate. The rack meshes with a gear.
[0013] Furthermore, there are two pull ropes symmetrical about the baffle.
[0014] Furthermore, the pop-up structure includes:
[0015] A fixed groove is provided inside the fixed groove, and a sliding slider is provided at one end of the slider and a sliding rod is provided at the other end of the slider. The sliding rod slides through the fixed groove and is connected to the storage box. The slider is provided with a sliding groove inside.
[0016] A connecting rod, one end of which is hinged to the upper end of a fixed groove, and the other end of which is rotatably provided with a limiting rod, which is located inside the sliding groove.
[0017] Furthermore, the groove is a closed groove formed by M-shaped grooves and V-shaped grooves.
[0018] Furthermore, one end of the baffle is provided with a pull ring, the front end of the storage box is provided with multiple slots, and the middle of the front end of the storage box is provided with a handle.
[0019] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows:
[0020] (1) When a sample tube containing wastewater needs to be placed in the placement slot, the baffle is pulled by the pull ring, which in turn drives the pull rope to move. The other end of the pull rope drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the gear to rotate. At this time, the gear rotates clockwise, which in turn drives the rack to move upward, which in turn drives the receiving plate to move upward. At this time, the baffle no longer blocks the entrance above the placement slot, and the two pull ropes are located on both sides inside the placement slot, which will not affect the placement of the sample tube. When the sample tube is placed above the receiving plate, the sample tube is compressed by gravity through the receiving plate, which in turn drives the rack to move downward, which in turn drives the gear to rotate counterclockwise, so that the pull rope is wound on the surface of the rotating shaft. The other end of the pull rope drives the baffle to seal the placement slot. When the sample tube needs to be taken out, simply pull the baffle to move the pull rope. The other end of the pull rope drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the gear to rotate. At this time, the gear rotates clockwise, which in turn drives the rack to move upward, which in turn drives the receiving plate to move upward. At this time, the baffle no longer blocks the entrance above the placement slot, and the sample tube can be taken out.
[0021] (2) When the storage box needs to be removed from the inside of the outer frame, the limiting rod is located at the middle inflection point of the M-shaped groove of the inner contour line of the slide. The second spring is compressed, and the elastic force of the second spring causes the slider to tend to move towards the sliding rod, so that the limiting rod is close to the middle inflection point of the M-shaped groove of the inner contour line of the slide. First, press the storage box into the outer frame and then release it. At this time, the storage box drives the sliding rod to move. The sliding rod compresses the second spring through the slider. At this time, the limiting rod is disengaged from the middle inflection point of the M-shaped groove of the inner contour line of the slide and is connected to the middle inflection point and one side inflection point of the M-shaped groove of the outer contour line of the slide. At the contact point, the limiting rod moves clockwise along the slide groove. At this time, the second spring returns to its original position, driving the slider to move until the limiting rod moves to the inflection point of the V-shaped groove on the outer contour line of the slide groove. At this time, the slider slides the storage box out of the outer frame through the sliding rod, allowing the sample tube to be placed and removed. When it is necessary to put the storage box into the outer frame, the storage box can be pressed into the outer frame. The storage box drives the sliding rod to move. The sliding rod compresses the second spring through the slider. The limiting rod contacts the inclined surface at the inflection point of the V-shaped groove on the inner contour line of the slide groove, thus moving clockwise until it moves to the middle inflection point of the M-shaped groove on the inner contour line of the slide groove.

[0031] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a wastewater sample storage device includes an outer frame 1, a sliding storage box 2 installed inside the outer frame 1, a housing 3 installed at one end of the storage box 2 inside the outer frame 1, multiple placement slots 4 opened inside the storage box 2, the placement slots 4 are used to place sample tubes 6, a sliding baffle 5 is installed on the upper part of the placement slot 4, the baffle 5 can seal the sample tubes 6, a pull ring 24 is installed at one end of the baffle 5 for easy pulling of the pull ring 4, a sponge can be installed on the inner wall of the placement slot 4 to protect the sample tubes 6, and a cavity is opened inside the housing 3, the cavity is connected to the placement slots 4.
[0034] The sealing structure 7 is located inside the housing 3. There are multiple sets of sealing structures 7, each corresponding to a placement groove 4. The sealing structure 7 includes a support rod 9, which is fixedly installed on the upper side inside the housing 3. A rotating rod 10 is rotatably installed on the lower side inside the housing 3. The rotating rod 10 is located diagonally below the support rod 9. A gear 11 is fixedly installed in the middle of the rotating rod 10. One end of the pull rope 13 is fixedly installed on the baffle 5, and the other end of the pull rope 13 is fixedly installed on the rotating rod 10. The pull rope 13 is wound around the support rod 9. There are two pull ropes 13 symmetrically about the baffle 5.
[0035] Spring 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement groove 4. A receiving plate 14 is installed on the upper end of spring 15. A rack 12 is installed on one end of the receiving plate 14. The rack 12 meshes with the connecting gear 11.
[0036] When a sample tube 6 containing wastewater needs to be placed inside the placement tank 4, the baffle 5 is pulled by the pull ring 24, which in turn moves the pull rope 13. The other end of the pull rope 13 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 11 to rotate. At this time, the gear 11 rotates clockwise, which in turn drives the rack 12 to move upward, which in turn drives the receiving plate 14 to move upward. At this time, the baffle 5 no longer blocks the upper entrance of the placement tank 4, and the two pull ropes 13 are located on both sides inside the placement tank 4, which will not affect the placement of the sample tube 6. When the sample tube 6 is placed above the receiving plate 14, the sample tube 6 compresses the spring through the receiving plate 14 due to gravity. 15. Then, the receiving plate 14 drives the rack 12 to move downward, which in turn drives the gear 11 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the pull rope 13 is wound on the surface of the rotating shaft 10. Then, the other end of the pull rope 13 drives the baffle 5 to seal the placement groove 4. When the sample tube 6 needs to be taken out, simply pull the baffle 5 to move the pull rope 13. The other end of the pull rope 13 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 11 to rotate. At this time, the gear 11 rotates clockwise, which drives the rack 12 to move upward, which in turn drives the receiving plate 14 to move upward. At this time, the baffle 5 no longer blocks the entrance above the placement groove 4, and the sample tube 6 can be taken out.
[0037] Multiple card slots 25 are installed at the front of the storage box 2. The card slots 25 correspond to the placement slots 4. Cards can be placed inside the card slots 25 for recording wastewater information. The card slots 25 are made of transparent material.
[0038] Pop-out structures 8 are located at both ends inside the outer frame 1 and are connected to the storage box 2. Pop-out structures 8 include fixed grooves 16, which are installed on both sides of the bottom inside the outer frame 1. Sliding sliders 17 are installed inside the fixed grooves 16. A spring 18 is installed at one end of the slider 17 and a sliding rod 19 is installed at the other end of the slider 17. The sliding rod 19 slides through the fixed groove 16 and is connected to the storage box 2. A sliding groove 23 is opened inside the slider 17. One end of the connecting rod 20 is hinged to the upper end of the fixed groove 16, and a limiting rod 21 is rotatably installed at the other end of the connecting rod 20. The limiting rod 21 is located inside the sliding groove 23.
[0039] The slide groove 23 is a closed groove formed by M-shaped grooves and V-shaped grooves. The slide groove 23 includes two sets of contour lines, namely the outer contour line and the inner contour line. The M-shaped groove in the outer contour line and the M-shaped groove in the inner contour line are each provided with three inflection points. The inflection points at both ends of the M-shaped groove in the inner contour line are symmetrical about the middle inflection point. The middle inflection point of the M-shaped groove in the outer contour line is biased to one end. The V-shaped groove in the inner contour line is provided with a slope at the inflection point.
[0040] When the storage box 2 needs to be removed from the inside of the outer frame 1, the limiting rod 21 is located at the middle inflection point of the M-shaped groove of the inner contour line of the slide 23. The spring 18 is compressed, and the elastic force of the spring 18 causes the slider 17 to tend to move towards the slide rod 19, so that the limiting rod 21 is pressed tightly against the middle inflection point of the M-shaped groove of the inner contour line of the slide 23. First, the storage box 2 is pressed into the outer frame 1 and then released. At this time, the storage box 2 drives the slide rod 19 to move. The slide rod 19 compresses the spring 18 through the slider 17. At this time, the limiting rod 21 is disengaged from the middle inflection point of the M-shaped groove of the inner contour line of the slide 23 and is connected to the middle inflection point and one side inflection point of the M-shaped groove of the outer contour line of the slide 23. Thus, the limiting rod 21 moves along the slide 23. As the clock hands move, spring 18 returns to its original position, causing slider 17 to move until limit rod 21 moves to the inflection point of the V-shaped groove on the outer contour of slide 23. At this point, slider 17 slides storage box 2 out of outer frame 1 via sliding rod 19, allowing sample tube 6 to be placed or removed. When storage box 2 needs to be placed inside outer frame 1, it can be pressed into outer frame 1. Storage box 2 moves sliding rod 19, which compresses spring 18 via slider 17. Limit rod 21 contacts the inclined surface at the inflection point of V-shaped groove on inner contour of slide 23, thus moving clockwise until it reaches the middle inflection point of M-shaped groove on inner contour of slide 23. A handle 26 is installed in the middle of the front end of storage box 2 for easy movement.
