Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of underwater sediment sampling in hydrology, water environment engineering technology, etc., in particular to a deep water sediment sampling system, a sampling method thereof and a sediment sample calculation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Underwater sediment sampling is mainly applied in water ecosystem investigation, management, research and other activities, which is of great significance to the development of water ecological restoration methods and the revelation of environmental changes, sedimentation processes and pollutant migration. The main application water areas include rivers, lakes, reservoirs, oceans and the like. Underwater sediment sampling generally requires maintaining the original sequence of the sample and avoiding disturbance. The commonly used sampling methods include claw type and column type, which can be divided into manual or automatic type according to the degree of manual participation in the sampling process. Among them, the automatic type is mainly electromagnetic high-frequency vibration type and mechanical drag weight type. For example, CN200810237472.3 provides a columnar sediment sampling device, which needs to be operated manually by hand, requiring multiple people to work together, with low work efficiency. At the same time, it is only suitable for collecting underwater or shore sediment samples. CN200910098258.9 discloses a valve type sampler for drilling continuous undisturbed sediment samples. The sampler realizes continuous sediment sampling through a piston type, but the weight needs to be manually lifted and naturally lowered to knock the platform for excavation, which is labor-intensive and low in work efficiency. At the same time, it cannot guarantee that the sampler is vertical during the sampling process, so it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the length of each layer of the sediment sample. CN201710209170.4 discloses a sediment collector vibration mechanism that drives the sampling pipe to vibrate, causing the sediment around the sampling pipe wall to "liquefy", and the sampling pipe to sink, thereby realizing the collection of stratified sediment samples. This method is easy to cause disturbance of the sediment sample and cannot guarantee the order of the sediment sample. CN201410843442.2 provides a natural river columnar sediment collection device, which can reduce the labor intensity, but cannot guarantee that the sampler is vertical during the sampling process, so it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the length of each layer of the sediment sample. At the same time, the weight still needs to be lifted to knock the platform, which is not efficient.

[0003] In summary, the existing columnar sediment sampling device has the disadvantages of low work efficiency, high labor intensity, and manual operation. Even though there are automatic methods such as high-frequency vibration type and drop hammer type, there are still disadvantages such as sediment disturbance, low efficiency, and inability to guarantee that the sampling pipe is always vertical, resulting in inaccurate length of each layer of the sediment sample. At present, there is a need for a high-efficiency, automated, and high-precision deep water sediment sampling system and method to improve the efficiency and accuracy of sediment sampling. SUMMARY
