Description
A device for collecting overlying water and particulate matter from a cold spring nozzle and a method for using the same Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of deep-sea sampling technology, and in particular to a device for collecting overlying water and particulate matter from a cold spring vent and a method for using the device. Background Art
[0002] Cold seeps are cryogenic fluids that emerge from beneath the seafloor sedimentary interface and are injected into basins through gushing and seepage. They exhibit a range of physical, chemical, and biological effects, representing a typical region of extreme marine environments and a hotspot for current Earth science research. The overlying water and particles at cold seep vents contain a wealth of geophysical and chemical information. Accurate observation and compositional analysis of these overlying water and particles are crucial for studying marine material transport and water element characteristics. Currently, common overlying water and particle sampling devices are only capable of short-term sampling, resulting in small sample quantities, large sample variability, and high cost for multiple sampling. Furthermore, when applied to complex operating environments such as cold seep vents, these sampling devices are prone to failure in thermal insulation and pressure maintenance, resulting in poor sample quality. Currently, no suitable device or method exists for long-term, high-quality, and scalable spatial sequence sampling of overlying water and particles at cold seep vents. Therefore, developing a device and method for collecting overlying water and particles at cold seep vents is essential.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cold spring nozzle overlying water and particulate matter collection device and its use method to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art.

After installing adapters 1-1 and 1-8 and brass tube 1-2 in lower chamber 1-9, inject heating oil 1-7 into lower chamber 1-9. Install middle removable chamber 1-10, PTC heater 1-3, and temperature sensor 1-5. Finally, install upper end cap 1-12 of the heating unit. The installation of some components requires the use of sealing ring 1-11 to prevent leakage of heating oil 1-7.

[0045] (3) When the water inlet heating device 1 reaches the specified temperature, the STM32 controller in the controller cabin 11 starts the gear pump 3 to pump overlying water and particulate matter into the heating device. After being heated, the overlying water and particulate matter flow into the switch water inlet 6-11 through the connecting conduit. In the default state of the water outlet switching device 6, the switch water inlet 6-11 is connected to the switch water outlet No. 2 6-13. The overlying water and particulate matter enter the sample storage container 9 through the switch water outlet No. 2 6-13, thereby realizing the in-situ collection and preservation of the overlying water and particulate matter.

Due to the filtering effect of the filter membrane 10-3, the particulate matter is retained at the front end of the filter membrane 10-3, and the overlying water passes through the filter membrane 10-3 into the filtered water cabin 10-6, and is finally discharged from the cabin 10-5 through the filter outlet one-way valve 10-8, thereby realizing the in-situ separation function of overlying water and particulate matter.
[0047] (5) If spatial sequence sampling of overlying water and particulate matter is required, a mounting frame with different sampling heights can be customized, and the array of overlying water and particulate matter collection devices can be installed on the mounting frame. Then, the mounting frame can be placed at the designated position of the cold spring nozzle through external equipment, and the steps in (2)-(4) can be repeated to achieve spatial sequence sampling of overlying water and particulate matter.
