Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water sample collection, and in particular to a device for collecting surface water in a rice field. Background Art

[0002] Rice is China's largest grain crop, accounting for approximately 24% of the country's total grain crop area and 35% of its total grain output. Rice also consumes approximately 60-70% of total agricultural water use and around 20% of national fertilizer use. As a major consumer of water and fertilizer resources, nitrogen loss from rice paddies is a key focus in the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution. Nitrogen fertilizer applied to rice fields is partially absorbed and utilized by crops, while some enters rivers and lakes through surface runoff in various chemical forms or seeps into groundwater through unsaturated zones, causing eutrophication and groundwater pollution. Nitrogen in surface water is a direct source of agricultural non-point source pollution. Therefore, collecting surface water and analyzing it in the laboratory to understand the dynamic patterns and kinetic characteristics of nitrogen in this water is crucial for preventing and controlling nitrogen non-point source pollution from rice fields.

[0003] The existing method of collecting surface water in rice fields is mainly manual collection. The collectors need to evenly scoop multiple surface water samples from each field and each ridge. Subsequently, the multiple surface water samples need to be evenly mixed in water before they are used as a surface water sample for subsequent testing. The sampling depth cannot be controlled, and there is a certain risk that the operator will fall into the rice field. Another existing method for automatic sampling of field waters mainly emphasizes its sampling automation and intelligent detection. Although it has high accuracy and efficiency, the initial system deployment cycle is long, the cost is expensive, and the space occupied is large, making it unsuitable for sampling surface water in rice fields. Therefore, it is very necessary to design a surface water collection device that is easy to use, relatively low in price, and efficient in sampling.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are committed to developing a device for collecting water from rice fields to address the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0057] Step 2: Connect the water suction set and the water collection set through the water suction hose 801 to ensure that there is no water leakage at the connection; the required depth of field surface water collection is 10 cm, and one group of samples is taken along a ridge.

[0062] Step 1: Select a sampling field and prepare water collection tools such as sample bottles and telescopic rods;

[0063] Step 2: Take one group of samples along a ridge, and take five groups in total from one field. Each group of samples needs to be collected four times at the sampling point. The surface water collected four times is mixed to form one field surface water sample.

[0065] By comparing and analyzing Example 1 with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the device for collecting surface water of a rice field of the present invention saves more manpower, does not require manual scooping of water, reduces the possibility of operators operating near the water, and reduces the risk of collection work; the components of the device are inexpensive and easy to disassemble, do not take up space, and can be pushed and pulled to adjust the position at any time; the water absorption sleeve is thrown to the target collection point to complete the collection of the collection point, the distance between the water absorption ports can be adjusted, and multiple samples are automatically mixed after being taken at the same time, so that the obtained water sample can better represent the water quality near the collection point.
