Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample storage equipment technology, and in particular to a powder compression storage box for X-ray fluorescence. Background Technology

[0002] In X-ray fluorescence analysis, powder pressing is a commonly used sample form, and its quality directly affects the accuracy of the analytical results. Humidity is one of the key environmental factors affecting the quality of powder pressing. Currently, the storage of X-ray fluorescence powder pressings mainly uses ordinary sample storage boxes or drying ovens. Ordinary sample storage boxes generally only have basic storage functions, consisting of a simple box and lid, and are mostly made of quartz, plastic, or metal. The internal environment of the box is open to the outside atmosphere, making it impossible to effectively control environmental parameters such as humidity and temperature. Desiccators mainly absorb internal humidity through desiccant to achieve a certain degree of drying storage effect. Although desiccators are universal, they are not advantageous for storing large quantities of powder samples and for drying desiccants. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an X-ray fluorescence powder compaction storage box that offers excellent sealing, effectively blocks external humid air, significantly reduces moisture absorption by the powder compaction, ensures stable sample quality, guarantees the accuracy of X-ray fluorescence analysis results, has a reasonable spatial distribution, facilitates convenient handling of the powder compaction, and prevents shaking, squeezing, and collision during storage, thus avoiding sample damage.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An X-ray fluorescence powder compression storage box includes a box body, a box lid, an elastic rubber sealing ring, a humidity sensor, a transparent partition, a drawer, and a desiccant box. The box body and the box lid form a sealing groove, which is adapted to the elastic rubber sealing ring. The elastic rubber sealing ring is connected to the sealing groove. The sealing groove has a rubber strip groove, and the elastic rubber sealing ring has a sealing strip, which is adapted to the rubber strip groove and is connected to the rubber strip groove. The box body has multiple inner connecting plates, and the box lid has multiple outer connecting plates. The outer connecting plates are positioned corresponding to the inner connecting plates. The outer connecting plates have screws that pass through the inner connecting plates and are connected to nuts via threads. The nuts are fitted into the inner connecting plates. The inner wall of the box is connected to an S-pole magnet, which attracts an N-pole magnet. The N-pole magnet is connected to the humidity sensor.

[0006] The box described in this utility model has a transparent partition inside to form a placement cavity. The transparent partition has tray grooves on both sides, and the box has trays on both sides. The trays are adapted to the tray grooves and are connected to the tray grooves.

[0007] The drawer of this utility model has sliding plates on both sides, the sliding plates are connected to slide rails, the outer side of the slide rails is connected to the cabinet, the inner side of the slide rails has a slide groove, the slide groove is adapted to the roller, the roller is connected to the slide groove, the roller slides in the slide groove, the roller is connected to the sliding plate through an axle, and the axle is connected to the sliding plate and the roller in sequence. Beneficial effects

[0008] The enclosure of this utility model is made of high-strength metal or engineering plastic, providing good mechanical strength and protective performance. An elastic rubber sealing ring is added at the connection between the enclosure and the lid, providing excellent elasticity and sealing. A sealing strip is added to the outside of the elastic rubber sealing ring to further enhance the sealing effect, effectively preventing humid air from entering the enclosure. This avoids the gradual absorption of moisture from the air by the powder tablets in high-humidity environments, which could alter the physical and chemical properties of the powder tablets. For example, metal powder tablets may rust due to moisture absorption, changing their composition and microstructure, thus causing deviations in X-ray fluorescence analysis results. Furthermore, the enclosure and lid are locked together using screws and nuts. By adjusting the locking force, the sealing reliability is ensured, preventing humid air from entering the enclosure.

[0009] This utility model features a transparent partition inside the housing to form a storage cavity for desiccant. The transparent partition has a breathable mesh with a mesh diameter smaller than that of the desiccant, ensuring that the desiccant absorbs moisture from the housing while preventing it from falling out. The transparent partition also allows for easy observation of the desiccant's moisture absorption, facilitating timely replacement and preventing the desiccant from gradually becoming saturated and affecting the humidity inside the housing. Furthermore, the transparent partition is easily disassembled via a tray and tray groove, increasing the convenience of desiccant replacement.

[0010] This utility model features a multi-layered pull-out drawer inside the box. The drawers can be smoothly pulled out of the box via slide rails for quick access to and from the powder tablets. The drawers adopt a double-layer structure, consisting of an upper and a lower panel. The upper panel has a slot, the shape and size of which are designed according to the specifications of the powder tablets to securely fix them and prevent shaking, squeezing, and collisions during storage. The lower panel has a mesh and a hook plate at the bottom to serve as a support point for hanging the desiccant box. By adding a desiccant box, a dry storage environment is maintained. The lower panel is fixed to the upper panel with screws, making it easy to disassemble and clean up any fallen powder. Humidity sensors are placed in each drawer to monitor the humidity in different layers of the box in real time and accurately.

[0011] This invention features excellent sealing properties, effectively blocking external humid air. By monitoring humidity and replacing the desiccant, it greatly reduces the moisture absorption of the powder tablets, ensuring stable sample quality and accurate X-ray fluorescence analysis results. Furthermore, the spatial distribution is reasonable, making it convenient to handle the powder tablets and preventing shaking, squeezing, and collisions during storage, thus avoiding sample damage.

The inner wall of the box body 01 is connected to S-pole magnets 0. 9. The S-pole magnet 09 and the N-pole magnet 08 attract each other. The N-pole magnet 08 is connected to the humidity sensor 07. The housing 01 is made of high-strength metal or engineering plastic, which provides good mechanical strength and protection. An elastic rubber sealing ring 04 is added at the connection between the housing and the cover 02. It has good elasticity and sealing performance. A sealing strip 05 is added to the outside of the elastic rubber sealing ring 04 to further enhance the sealing effect. It can effectively prevent the outside humid air from entering the housing. In a high humidity environment, the moisture in the air is gradually absorbed by the powder tablet, which will cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of the powder tablet. For example, the metal powder tablet may rust due to moisture absorption, changing its composition and microstructure, which will lead to deviations in the X-ray fluorescence analysis results. In addition, the housing 01 and the cover 02 are locked and fixed by screws 13 and nuts 12. By adjusting the locking force, the sealing reliability is ensured and the humid air is prevented from entering the housing.
