[0038] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] Please see Figures 1-4 A low-water-level sampling device for drainage pipes includes a circular frame 1, an airbag unit 2, a water inlet pipe 3, a carrying rope 4, a movable handle 5, and a plastic pad 6. The circular frame 1 has an inflation valve mounting port 11, a deflation valve mounting port 12, and a deflation valve opening micro-slant rod 42 at its top. The movable handle 5 is installed on the outer wall of the circular frame 1, and the plastic pad 6 is located at its bottom. The water inlet pipe 3, which communicates with the interior of the circular frame 1, is located inside the plastic pad 6. The circular frame carrying rope 41 of the carrying rope 4 is connected to the movable handle 5, and the micro-slant rod carrying rope 43 of the carrying rope 4 is connected to the deflation valve opening micro-slant rod 42. The airbag unit 2 is located inside the circular frame 1 and is connected to the inflation valve mounting port 11 and the deflation valve mounting port 12. Using the above-described sampling device, initially, the airbag unit 2 is inflated through the inflation valve 21. After the airbag is fully inflated, the device is lowered from the inspection well into the low-water-level pipeline through the circular frame lifting rope 41. Once the plastic pad 6 contacts the bottom of the pipe, the miniature inclined rod lifting rope 43 is lifted, and the miniature inclined rod 42 opens the deflation valve 22. At this time, the airbag unit 2 contracts, and the low-water-level water in the pipeline will sequentially enter the circular frame 1 through the rigid plastic spherical inlet 33, the inlet folding telescopic hose 32, and the inlet straight pipe 31. After the water sample is full, the circular frame 1 is slowly lifted through the circular frame lifting rope 41. Under the action of eccentric force, the circular frame deflects, and the plastic pad 6 faces upward. After the device is removed from the inspection well, the airbag unit 2 is inflated through the inflation valve 21 to expel the internal water sample, and then the next sampling is performed. This integrated and simple device does not require electricity, is easy to operate, and is easy to promote, especially suitable for water quality sampling in low-water-level pipelines in the field.

[0041] Furthermore, the micro-slant rod 42 for opening the vent valve is hinged to the top of the circular frame 1 via a fulcrum, and the distance between the fulcrum of the micro-slant rod 42 and the vent valve mounting port 12 is less than half the distance between the fulcrum and the lifting rope 43 of the micro-slant rod. In use, the distance between the lifting rope of the micro-slant rod and the fulcrum can be adjusted to ensure that the lifting rope can easily open the vent valve, ensuring that the water sample can be smoothly drawn into the circular frame.

[0042] Further, the deflation valve opening micro inclined rod 42 adopts light section, and the end of the deflation valve opening micro inclined rod 42 is in contact with the deflation valve 22 of the air bag unit 2 through an inverted triangular protrusion. In use, the deflation valve can be lifted upward by the micro inclined rod to compress the deflation valve spring and discharge the gas in the air bag. In use, the triangular protrusion can be conical according to the actual design, so as to ensure that the deflation valve spring can be compressed under the control of the fulcrum to form negative pressure in the circular frame to suck water samples.

[0043] Further, the movable handle 5 is movably connected with the circular frame 1. In use, the side of the circular frame can be movably connected or fixedly connected with the handle.

[0044] Further, the air bag unit 2 is provided with an inflation valve 21 and a deflation valve 22 at the top for inflation and deflation, respectively. The inflation valve 21 is correspondingly installed in the inflation valve installation port 11, and the deflation valve 22 is correspondingly installed in the deflation valve installation port 12.

[0045] Further, the plastic soft pad 6 is a soft rubber pad with a density less than water, and is in the shape of a cylinder. The plastic soft pad 6 is sealingly connected with the lower part of the circular frame 1. In use, the soft rubber pad with a density less than water can not be provided.

[0046] Further, the water inlet pipeline 3 includes a water inlet straight pipe 31, a water inlet folding telescopic hose 32, and a hard plastic spherical water inlet 33. The water inlet straight pipe 31 is arranged in the interior of the plastic soft pad 6, and the end of the water inlet straight pipe 31 is connected with the hard plastic spherical water inlet 33 through the water inlet folding telescopic hose 32.

[0047] Further, the hard plastic spherical water inlet 33 is made of hard plastic with a density greater than 1.0 kg / L, and the water inlets are distributed on the obliquely lower side of the hard plastic sphere. In use, the hard plastic sphere can not be provided according to actual needs, and a material with a density greater than water can be directly wrapped at the end of the water inlet pipeline, so as to ensure that the pipeline can sink in water.

[0048] Embodiment 2:

[0049] The method for sampling by using the low water level sampling device for a drainage pipeline includes the following steps:

[0050] Step one: initially, the air bag unit 2 is inflated through the inflation valve 21, and after the air bag unit 2 is fully inflated, the device is lowered from the inspection well to the low water level pipeline through the circular frame lifting rope 41;

[0051] Step two: after the plastic soft pad 6 contacts the bottom of the pipeline, the micro inclined rod lifting rope 43 is lifted to open the deflation valve 22 through the deflation valve opening micro inclined rod 42;

[0052] Step three: the air bag unit 2 is contracted, and the water at low water level in the pipeline will enter the circular frame 1 through the hard plastic spherical water inlet 33, the water inlet folding telescopic hose 32 and the water inlet straight pipe 31 in sequence;

[0053] Step four: after the water sample is taken, the circular frame 1 is slowly lifted through the circular frame lifting rope 41, and the circular frame is deflected under the action of the eccentric force, and the plastic soft pad 6 faces upward;

[0054] Step five: after the device is lifted out of the inspection well, the air bag unit 2 is inflated through the inflation valve 21 to discharge the internal water sample, and the next sampling is sequentially performed.
