[0045] A second spring 49 is installed in the second straw 46, and one end of the second spring 49 is in contact with the third straw 47. The third straw 47 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second straw 46. A second elastic sheet 411 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second straw 46, and the second elastic sheet 411 is in contact with one end of the third straw 47. One end of the third straw 47 is used to contact the top rod 413.

[0046] The control assembly 5 includes a control gear disc 51 located at one end of the suction tube 41, the control gear disc 51 is rotatably connected to the suction tube 41, the square rod 43 passes through the middle of the control gear disc 51, the arc-shaped rack 54 on the outside of the control gear disc 51 is multi-section, and a plurality of blocking gear discs 52 are provided on the outside of the control gear disc 51, the blocking gear disc 52 is used to mesh with the arc-shaped rack 54, the blocking gear disc 52 is rotatably connected to one end of the storage tube 31, and a plurality of elastic blocks 55 are installed at one end of the storage tube 31 located at the sealing gear disc 52, and the elastic blocks 55 are used to fix the position of the blocking gear disc 52.

[0047] Waterproof pads are provided on both sides of the blocking toothed disc 52 to prevent leakage. The blocking toothed disc 52 is located between the output pipe 34 and the liquid inlet 32 ​​. A circular hole 53 is provided on the blocking toothed disc 52 to connect the output pipe 34 with the blocking toothed disc 52 .

[0048] The following steps are involved:

[0049] S1: The user grasps the hand-held handle 23 and then places the third straw 47 on the first layer of water to be collected;

[0050] S2: Start the hydraulic rod 24 to collect and store the liquid through the storage component 3 through the cooperation of the internal suction component 4 and the control component 5;

[0051] S3: With the operation of the hydraulic rod 24, in cooperation with the suction assembly 4, the second suction tube 46 and the third suction tube 47 are extended and retracted, so that the liquid sample of the lower layer can also be collected, and multiple layers of liquid samples can be collected;

[0052] S4: Take out the liquid in the storage tube 31, and then put the second suction tube 46 and the third suction tube 47 back to their original positions for the next use.

[0053] By holding the hand-held handle 23 tightly, the third suction tube 47 is placed under the water surface where sampling is required, and then the hydraulic rod 24 is started. The hydraulic rod 24 resists the square rod 43, and the square rod 43 and the hydraulic rod 24 will not separate, so that the square rod 43 drives the sealing disk 42 to slide in the suction tube 41, and the sealing disk 42 slides in the first suction tube 41. When the sealing disk 42 slides, a negative pressure is generated on the side of the sealing disk 42 in the suction tube 41 close to the hydraulic rod 24, so that the storage tube 31 is sucked through the one-way valve 37 in the pipeline 36. At the same time, the storage tube 31 connected to the temporary storage tray 33 will suck the temporary storage tray 33. When the temporary storage tray 33 is sucked, the temporary storage tray 33 will suck the first suction tube 45, the second suction tube 46, and the third suction tube 47 through the liquid inlet tube 35, so that the liquid enters the temporary storage tray 33 through the liquid inlet tube 35. At the same time, the liquid in the temporary storage tray 33 will enter the storage tube 31 connected to the output tube 34 at this time. The combination of the temporary storage tray 33, the liquid inlet tube 35, and the output tube 34 ensures the smoothness and accuracy of liquid input. At the same time, the output tubes 34 correspond to the liquid inlet holes 32 respectively to ensure that each output tube 34 has a corresponding liquid inlet hole 32, and the extracted samples are input into different storage tubes 31 through different liquid inlet holes 32 to achieve accurate distribution of the liquid. The design of the temporary storage disk 33 can provide an appropriate temporary storage space for the liquid. When the circular hole 53 on the blocking toothed disk 52 does not connect the output tube 34 with the liquid inlet hole 32, the liquid sucked up at this time will be temporarily stored in the temporary storage disk 33. When the circular hole 53 connects the output tube 34 with the liquid inlet hole 32 , the liquid sample extracted from the temporary storage tray 33 will enter the storage tube 31 which is connected at this time. This design will not affect the suction of the liquid even if the liquid inlet hole 32 is not connected to the temporary storage tray 33; at the same time, a drain valve for draining liquid is provided on the suction tube 41. During the operation, a small amount of liquid sample may enter the suction tube 41. After use, the excess liquid can be discharged through the drain valve. At the same time, a liquid extraction valve is provided at one end of the storage tube 31, and the liquid sample collected in the storage tube 31 can be taken out through the liquid extraction valve.

[0054] The sealing disc 42 slides while driving the spiral column 44 to slide downward. The spiral column 44 slides while sliding with the fixed column 412. The fixed column 412 is designed so that the spiral groove on the spiral column 44 can rotate when sliding with the fixed column 412. The spiral column 44 rotates while driving the sealing disc 42 and the square rod 43 to rotate together. The control toothed disc 51 is rotated by the rotation of the square rod 43. The square rod 43 is designed so that the square rod 43 can drive the control toothed disc 51 to rotate together. The rotation of the control toothed disc 51 At the same time, the arc-shaped rack 54 is meshed with each blocking toothed disc 52, so that each blocking toothed disc 52 rotates together. The design of the arc-shaped rack 54 enables the control toothed disc 51 to be able to suck the liquid sample when it is not meshed with the arc-shaped rack 54. When the control toothed disc 51 is meshed with the arc-shaped rack 54, and when the circular hole 53 connects the output tube 34 with the liquid inlet hole 32, the liquid sample in the temporary storage disc 33 can be distributed to the corresponding storage tube 31. The liquid inlet hole 32 on the storage tube 31 where the sampling has been completed is blocked by the rotation of the blocking toothed disc 52, and at the same time, the next The rotation of the blocking toothed disc 52 connects the liquid inlet 32 ​​on the next storage tube 31 with the output tube 34 through the circular hole 53 on the blocking toothed disc 52. In this way, each storage tube 31 can collect samples in turn. At the same time, the waterproof pads on both sides of the blocking toothed disc 52 can prevent liquid from leaking between the output tube 34 and the liquid inlet 32. Through the design of the blocking toothed disc 52 and the circular hole 53, the connection between the output tube 34 of the temporary storage disc 33 and the liquid inlet 32 ​​of the storage tube 31 is controllable. When the blocking toothed disc 52 is rotated to a suitable position, the circular hole 53 The hole 53 will connect the liquid inlet hole 32 with the output pipe 34, so that the collected liquid can flow into the storage tube 31; through the design of the elastic block 55 located between the storage tube 31 and the blocking toothed disc 52, the blocking toothed disc 52 can be engaged with the elastic block 55 through the slot on the blocking toothed disc 52 after rotation. Through such a design, the position of the blocking toothed disc 52 can be limited, the friction between the blocking toothed disc 52 and the storage tube 31 can be increased, and the blocking toothed disc 52 can be prevented from rotating without reason, thereby providing a more stable channel for the liquid to enter the storage tube 31.

[0055] When the spiral column 44 slides downward, it drives the push rod 413 to slide downward together. A protrusion is provided at the first end of the push rod 413. Such a design prevents the push rod 413 from blocking the inside of the third suction tube 47, so that the liquid can flow in the third suction tube 47. When the protrusion of the push rod 413 slides to one end of the third suction tube 47 and contacts the third suction tube 47, the first storage tube 31 has collected enough liquid sample. As the push rod 413 continues to slide downward, the protrusion of the push rod 413 continuously contacts the third suction tube 47. When the contact force is greater than the maximum bearing range of the second elastic sheet 411, the third suction tube 47 will slide over the second elastic sheet 411. At the same time, under the action of the second spring 49, the third suction tube 47 can slide downward instantly, so that the third suction tube 47 can suck the liquid at a deep position.

[0056] At the same time, the elasticity of the second elastic piece 411 is smaller than that of the first elastic piece 410. Such a design enables the third straw 47 and the second straw 46 to slide downward in sequence, so that the third straw 47 and the second straw 46 will not slide over the second elastic piece 411 and the first elastic piece 410 at the same time. As the top rod 413 slides downward continuously, when the protruding block of the top rod 413 contacts the third straw 47 again, the second storage tube 31 has collected enough liquid sample. As the resistance force increases continuously, the third straw 47 drives the second straw 46 to slide downward together. When the resistance force is greater than the elasticity of the first elastic piece 410, the second straw 46 slides over the first elastic piece 410. At the same time, under the action of the first spring 48, the second straw 46 drives the third straw 47 to slide downward instantly, so that the third straw 47 can collect and sample deeper liquid.

[0057] Through the design of the first elastic sheet 410 and the second elastic sheet 411, when the raised block of the push rod 413 contacts the third straw 47, a certain amount of power can be accumulated for the third straw 47 and the second straw 46. When the force is greater than the limit of the first elastic sheet 410 or the second elastic sheet 411, the accumulated force enables the third straw 47 to instantly slide over the second elastic sheet 411, and the second straw 46 to instantly slide over the first elastic sheet 410. The accumulated force can also enable the second straw 46 and the third straw 47 to continue to slide downward. In addition, the cooperation of the first spring 48 and the second spring 49 enables the instantaneous sliding of the third straw 47. Such a design enables the liquid to be sucked from deeper inside as quickly as possible during the process of sucking the liquid sample, so that the sample is more standardized.

[0059] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
