Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical fields of environmental protection and water conservancy engineering, in particular to a water quality automatic sampler. Background Art

[0002] During the water quality sampling process in the water environment, it is often necessary to collect water samples from the middle layer, the lower layer, and even the specified water depth to achieve stratified (multi-layer) sampling and monitoring research.

[0003] The patent document with the publication number of CN208076204U provides a water quality sampler, which includes a water collecting bucket, a handle, and a hanging ring. The handle is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the outer wall of the water collecting bucket, and the hanging ring is sleeved on the handle. A water passing hole is arranged at the bottom of the water collecting bucket, a filter screen is arranged in the water passing hole, a movable bottom plate matching the size of the water passing hole is arranged inside the water collecting bucket, and a limiting block is arranged above the bottom plate.

[0004] However, in this structure, during the daily sampling process, the depth reached by the water sampler is usually estimated roughly through a rope. There are two disadvantages: First, due to the water flow velocity, the rope may not be kept vertical, may be inclined, or even bent underwater. But because it is underwater, the sampling personnel cannot know the specific situation. Therefore, it is difficult to grasp the sampling depth during sampling. Second, for a conventional sampler, when the upper and lower valves have a lowering action during sampling, the valves will open. Therefore, in fact, the depth at which the last lowering action is located is collected, rather than necessarily the depth at the deepest part. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model provides a water quality automatic sampler, aiming to solve the problems of synchronous measurement of the sampling depth during water quality sampling, and the problem that the ordinary sampler actually collects the depth at which the last lowering action is located, rather than necessarily the depth at the deepest part.

Both the top end and the bottom end of the sampling cylinder are provided with relatively through openings, and electromagnetic valves are arranged at both opposite openings.

[0007] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is: It ensures that the internal and external water pressures of the sampling cylinder are the same during sampling, prevents the sampling cylinder from being damaged by water pressure, and at the same time prevents the sampling cylinder from being affected by buoyancy and reducing the descending depth. By directly closing the upper and lower openings of the sampling cylinder with electromagnetic valves, the sampling result will not be affected due to the opening of the valves during the lowering action.

[0008] Preferably, the solenoid valve includes: an electromagnetic coil, which is arranged around the opening, and a number of magnetic limit buckles are provided on the outside of the electromagnetic coil, and the several magnetic limit buckles are fixedly connected to the sampling tube, and an electromagnetic block is provided on the inside of the electromagnetic coil, and the electromagnetic block is located directly above the electromagnetic coil.

[0009] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the upper and lower openings of the sampling tube 1 are sealed, thereby completing the collection of sampled water.

[0010] Preferably, a handle is provided at the upper end of the sampling cylinder.

[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the sampling tube is convenient to pick up and carry.

[0012] Preferably, the top end of the handle is fixedly connected with a hanging rope.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that it is convenient to put the sampling tube into the water through the hanging rope, and it is also convenient to take out the sampling tube.

[0014] Preferably, a pressure sensor is provided on the outer side wall of the sampling cylinder.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the water depth can be measured simultaneously with the water sample collection.

[0016] Preferably, the sampling cylinder is provided with a waterproof control panel above the pressure sensor, and the solenoid valve and the pressure sensor are both electrically connected to the waterproof control panel.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that when the pressure sensor detects that the specified depth has been reached, the solenoid valve is controlled to close, and the water quality sampling at the specified depth is completed.

[0018] Preferably, a drain pipe is provided on the bottom side wall of the sampling cylinder, and a valve is provided on the drain pipe.

[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the water sample is discharged for testing, which is convenient for staff to use.

[0021] 1. By setting upper and lower solenoid valves at the upper and lower openings of the sampling cylinder, after sampling at the specified depth, the upper and lower openings of the sampling cylinder are directly closed by the solenoid valves, and the sampling results will not be affected by the lowering action and the valve opening;

[0022] 2. Through the preset of the waterproof control panel, when the pressure sensor detects that it has reached the specified depth, the solenoid valve is controlled to close, and the water quality sampling at the specified depth is completed.

When in use, the sampling cylinder 1 is placed in water, and both the upper and lower solenoid valves 2 are in the open state. Water enters through the openings at both ends of the sampling cylinder 1 and sinks to the specified depth. After reaching the specified depth required for sampling, the upper and lower solenoid valves 2 are closed to complete the water quality sampling at the specified depth. By providing openings at both the upper and lower ends, it can ensure that the internal and external water pressures of the sampling cylinder 1 are the same during sampling, prevent the sampling cylinder 1 from being damaged by water pressure, and at the same time prevent the sampling cylinder 1 from being affected by buoyancy and reducing the depth.

Under the action of water pressure, the electromagnetic block 23 is pushed up and opened, and water can enter the cylinder through the upper and lower openings of the sampling cylinder 1. The magnetic block limit buckles 22 prevent the electromagnetic block 23 from falling out. When the specified depth is reached, the electromagnetic coil 21 is powered on to adsorb the electromagnetic block 23 on the electromagnetic coil 21, sealing the upper and lower openings of the sampling cylinder 1 and completing the collection of the sampled water.

[0040] Additionally, a waterproof control panel 6 is provided above the pressure sensor 5 on the sampling cylinder 1. Both the solenoid valve 2 and the pressure sensor 5 are electrically connected to the waterproof control panel 6.
