[0024] A soil discharge port 5 located above the auger is provided on one side of the outer cylinder 1 so as to send the crushed soil generated during the drilling process to the secondary collection component, thereby collecting the gas in the soil for the second time. A primary collection component is also provided on the outside of the outer cylinder 1 for directly collecting the gas escaping from the orifice of the hole body.
[0025] The effective collection of trace gases in the soil layer can be achieved through the cooperation of the primary collection component and the secondary collection component.
[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably disposed on the shaft seat 18, and the shaft seat 18 is connected to the outer cylinder 1 through the connecting seat 17, and the feed drive for the drill bit 3 is realized through the connecting seat 17;
[0027] In this embodiment, Figure 2 The drill bit 3 includes a drill bit body 31, a plurality of air outlet holes 32 are opened in the drill bit body 31, the rotating shaft 2 has a blind hole and is connected to the plurality of air outlet holes 32, and an air supply seat 15 is fixed to the top of the outer cylinder 1. The air supply seat 15 is connected to the rotating shaft 2 in a sealed and rotatable manner. The air supply seat 15 is a cavity structure, and a plurality of receiving holes are opened in the portion of the rotating shaft 2 corresponding to the cavity structure. The receiving holes are connected to the blind holes, and the cavity structure is also supplied with air by an external air supply pipe 16;
[0028] The external gas supply pipe 16 can supply carbon dioxide gas.
[0029] On the one hand, the carbon dioxide gas it supplies can assist the drill bit 3 in breaking the soil and soften the broken soil, making it easier for the auger to transport it upward. On the other hand, the carbon dioxide gas can effectively replace the gas in the soil layer, or in other words, the carbon dioxide can carry the gas in the soil layer back along the hole, thereby assisting in the collection of trace gases. In subsequent analysis and research, it is only necessary to separate the carbon dioxide gas.
[0030] Furthermore, the primary collection assembly includes a sealing ring 8, a sealing cylinder 9, a sealing chamber 10, and an exhaust pipe 19, wherein the sealing ring 8 is sealedly sleeved outside the orifice of the orifice body, the sealing cylinder 9 is fixed on the sealing ring 8, the sealing cylinder 9 is sealedly connected to the annular sealing chamber 10, a sealing ring gasket 12 is provided on the inner side of the sealing chamber 10, and the exhaust pipe 19 is also embedded in the sealing cylinder;
[0031] The gas in the hole body can be continuously extracted through the exhaust pipe 19;
[0032] Furthermore, before drilling, carbon dioxide can be supplied to the drill bit 3 through the gas supply pipe 16 , while the gas extraction pipe 19 continuously extracts the gas, thereby replacing the gas in the sealing tube 9 .
[0033] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of crushing heads 33 located on one side of the air outlet 32 are fixed on the surface of the drill bit body 31. The crushing heads 33 are arranged to protrude from the drill bit body 31. By configuring the crushing heads 33, on the one hand, the drilling efficiency of the drill bit 3 can be improved, and on the other hand, effective protection can be provided for the air outlet 32.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the surface of the drill body 31 has a plurality of mud guide grooves 34 , and the mud guide grooves 34 can guide the soil spirally upward. A collecting cylinder 4 corresponding to the drill bit 3 is fixed to the bottom of the outer cylinder 1 .

[0036] In this embodiment, a plurality of mounting grooves are provided on the sealing ring gasket 12, and the mounting grooves are connected to the sealing chamber. An elastic sealing block 11 is embedded in the mounting grooves. The upper outer portion of the sealing chamber 10 is a deformable portion, and the deformable portion is connected to the driving arm 14. The driving arm 14 is driven by the adjusting arm 13 to squeeze the sealing chamber 10.

In this way, when the sealing chamber 10 is squeezed, not only can the sealing between the sealing ring gasket 12 and the outer tube 1 be improved, but the gas in the sealing chamber 1 will also squeeze the sealing block 11, making it more tightly connected to the outer tube 1.
[0038] In this embodiment, Figure 3 The secondary collection component includes a processing chamber 61, a rotor 62, a separation membrane 63 and an air collecting pipe 66, wherein the top of the processing chamber 61 is connected to the soil discharge port 5 by a retractable connecting pipe 65, and a rotor 62 is symmetrically arranged in the processing chamber 61. The two ends of the separation membrane 63 are respectively wound by the winding wheel 64, and the middle part of the separation membrane 63 is supported on the rotor 62. The middle part of the processing chamber 61 is fixedly embedded with an air collecting pipe 66, and the air collecting pipe 66 is located below the separation membrane 63. The other end of the air collecting pipe 66 is connected to the air collecting tank 67 by a tube body.
[0039] In addition, the separation membrane 63 is made of an air-permeable but water-tight material, and a scraper is provided on one side of the winding wheel 64 for scraping off dirt on the surface of the separation membrane.
[0040] In addition, a plurality of oscillators 68 for oscillating the separation membrane 63 are fixed in the processing chamber 61 .
[0041] Therefore, in practice, by configuring the collection pipe 66 to be located below the separation membrane 63, and the separation membrane 63 is made of an air-permeable but water-impermeable material, it can effectively reduce the entry of soil into the collection pipe 66 and improve the gas collection efficiency.
