The invention relates to a soft cloth subsealing type shallow water undisturbed surface 
sediment sampler comprising a sampling sleeve, a sampling mechanism and a sampling liner. The soft cloth subsealing type shallow water undisturbed surface 
sediment sampler is characterized in that the sampling sleeve comprises a sampling 
drill bit, a sampling cylinder, an outer counterweight 
deckle board, an upper cover plate and a hard connecting rod; the sampling mechanism comprises a lifting 
rope, a lifting rod, a lifting rod fixing frame, a side face connecting shaft, a side face connecting shaft baffle, a cable wire, a 
pulley, a slide rail of side face connecting shaft, a bottom connecting shaft, soft waterproof subsealing cloth, a spring bolt and a fixing mechanism of soft waterproof subsealing cloth; and the sampling liner comprises a sampling liner outline border, a sampling liner soleplate and a sampling liner soleplate inserting mechanism. The soft cloth subsealing type shallow water undisturbed surface 
sediment sampler disclosed by the invention has the advantages of large sampling area, high sampling success rate, non-damage on 
physical structure and 
sequence structure of surface sediment, and the like, and the sampler is capable of meeting collecting demand of shallow water surface sediments and is particularly suitable for collecting surface sediment samples within 3m 
water depth.
