The inlet end of the second check valve 20 is connected to the interior of the water collection bottle 19, and the outlet end of the second check valve 20 is connected to the interior of the second piston cylinder 9. The reciprocating movement of the piston plate 10 inside the second piston cylinder 9 allows the water inside the water collection bottle 19 to be sprayed into the interior of the dust cover 4 through the second check valve 20, the second piston cylinder 9, the first check valve 18, and the annular shower head 33, thereby reducing dust generated during the soil sampling process inside the dust cover 4.

The sampling personnel limit and fix the device by stepping on the foot pedal 37. When the motor 2 is working, it drives the first reciprocating screw 3 to rotate. With the setting of the first nut 5, the rack 6 moves down and drives the gear ring 7 to rotate. During the process, the ring blade 39 cuts the soil surface, the sampling cylinder 1 samples the soil, and the piston plate 10 moves back and forth inside the first piston cylinder 8 and the second piston cylinder 9. The air inside the dust cover 4 flows into the dust collection box 15 through the first one-way valve 14, the first piston cylinder 8 and the second one-way valve 16. With the setting of the dust collection cloth 30, the dust is filtered and collected into the dust collection box 15. The air flowing through the first waterproof and breathable membrane 29 flows into the disinfection box 17, and the disinfectant water flows out through the second waterproof and breathable membrane 32. While collecting dust, it also disinfects the exhaust air, reducing the impact of soil microorganisms flowing out with the air on the external environment. At the same time, the piston plate 10 moves back and forth inside the second piston cylinder 9, allowing the water inside the water collection bottle 19 to be sprayed into the dust cover 4 through the second check valve 20, the second piston cylinder 9, the first check valve 18, and the annular shower head 33. This helps to reduce the dust generated during the soil sampling process inside the dust cover 4. By collecting dust and spraying water mist simultaneously, the device reduces the dust generated by the sampled soil from flying around, resulting in a better dust reduction effect.
[0022] Working principle: In use, the motor 2 is connected to the mobile power supply, and the dust cover 4 is in contact with the ground to be sampled. The sampling personnel limit and fix the device by stepping on the surface of the foot pedal 37. When the motor 2 is working, it drives the first reciprocating screw 3 to rotate. With the setting of the first nut 5, the rack 6 moves down and drives the toothed ring 7 to rotate. During the process, the ring blade 39 cuts the soil surface, the sampling cylinder 1 samples the soil, and the piston plate 10 moves back and forth inside the first piston cylinder 8 and the second piston cylinder 9. The air inside the dust cover 4 flows into the dust collection box 15 through the first one-way valve 14, the first piston cylinder 8 and the second one-way valve 16. With the setting of the dust collection cloth 30, the air is drawn into the dust collection box 15. Dust is filtered and collected inside the dust collection box 15. Air flows through the first waterproof and breathable membrane 29, through the disinfectant water inside the disinfection box 17, and out through the second waterproof and breathable membrane 32. While collecting dust, the exhaust air is also disinfected. At the same time, the piston plate 10 moves back and forth inside the second piston cylinder 9, allowing water inside the water collection bottle 19 to be sprayed into the dust cover 4 through the second check valve 20, the second piston cylinder 9, the first check valve 18, and the annular shower head 33.
