[0002] In order to monitor the sewage level in water bodies, it is usually necessary to frequently sample and test sewage to determine whether the water quality meets the standards. Industrial sewage has many uncertain factors such as complex pollution components and large fluctuations in incoming water concentration. Therefore, it is necessary to sample and test the water quality of each section of the system multiple times and frequently to monitor the normal operation of the entire system.

[0003] Conventional sampling methods mostly use deep water samplers, beakers, measuring cylinders and other tools for manual sampling, which requires multiple and frequent operations and is prone to confusion and errors in sampling, resulting in low efficiency.

[0004] The invention with publication number CN114152480A proposes a robot for sewage monitoring and sampling. When the water-soluble resin melts, the squeezed elastic airbag quickly recovers to a spherical shape, dragging the sampling tube to float up. At the moment when the water-soluble resin melts, the special bacteria for garbage treatment will contact the sewage, and the sampling sponge will sample the sewage at the same time. The special bacteria for garbage treatment cooperates with the floating of the sampling tube, so that the special bacteria for garbage treatment can be fully distributed in the sewage. However, the above-mentioned sewage sampling robot cannot sample sewage in waters of different depths in aerobic pools, so this application proposes a movable robot with a base station for automatic sewage sampling and a sampling method thereof to solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0087] In a specific implementation, a tooth block or a non-circular block is provided at the end of the connecting shaft 94, and a groove matching the end of the adapter shaft 91 is provided at the end of the connecting shaft 94 for plugging in the connecting shaft 94 and meshing with the connecting shaft 94, so that the connecting shaft 94 can drive the adapter shaft 91 to rotate.

[0088] In this design, the stirring frame 92 is used to rotate and stir the liquid inside the sampling cavity 311. Specifically, after the sampling cup 31 is placed on the sampling robot 21, the connecting shaft 94 can automatically align with the adapter shaft 91 and plug into the adapter shaft 91, thereby automatically completing the connection between the connecting shaft 94 and the adapter shaft 91.

[0091] The present invention also proposes a sampling method for automatic sewage sampling, including the above-mentioned movable robot with a base station for automatic sewage sampling, and further comprising the following steps:

[0092] Step 1: by adjusting the auxiliary roller 22 to roll, the sampling robot 21 moves to align with the base station 1;

[0093] Step 2: Start the first motor 71 to control the gear roller 72 to rotate. At this time, the gear roller 72 drives the mounting top block 62 to slide, so that the sample feed slide tube 58 and the sewage discharge slide tube 59 move toward the base station 1 at the same time, and plug the sample outlet tube 44 and the first sewage discharge pipe 45, thereby completing the connection between the base station 1 and the sampling robot 21;

[0094] Step 3: Place multiple sampling cups 31 on the top of the sampling robot 21. At this time, the sampling branch pipe 54 is inserted into the inside of the mounting pipe 81 and pushes the sliding block 82 upward. The sealing plug 83 is automatically opened, the spring 84 is stretched, and the connecting shaft 94 is automatically inserted and engaged with the adapter shaft 91.

[0095] Step 4: Open the second solenoid valve 49, the injection solenoid valve 56 and each third solenoid valve 55, and start the sampling pump 43 and the second motor 93. At this time, the sampling pump 43 draws external clean water through the clean water inlet pipe 48, and the clean water flows into the interior of each sampling cup 31 after passing through the connecting pipe 46, the sample outlet pipe 44, the injection slide pipe 58, the injection pipe 52, the sampling main pipe 51 and the sampling branch pipe 54. The second motor 93 drives the adapter shaft 91 to rotate through the connecting shaft 94, and the adapter shaft 91 drives the stirring frame 92 to rotate. The rotating stirring frame 92 stirs the cleaning liquid in the sampling cup 31, thereby completing the cleaning process before sampling the interior of the multiple sampling cups 31;

[0096] Step 5: After cleaning is completed, the drain solenoid valve 57 is opened, and the cleaning liquid is discharged from the first drain pipe 45 through the second drain pipe 53 and the drain slide pipe 59. After the cleaning liquid is discharged, the drain solenoid valve 57 is closed;

[0097] Step 6: By adjusting the rotation of the traction column 422, the length of the sewage inlet pipe 41 extending from the base station 1 is adjusted, and the sewage inlet pipe 41 is extended to the height to be extracted of the aerobic tank for storing sewage outside. When one third solenoid valve 55 is opened, the other third solenoid valves 55 are closed to prepare for sewage sampling;

[0098] Step 7: close the second solenoid valve 49 and open the first solenoid valve 47, start the sampling pump 43, and the sewage in the aerobic tank is extracted by the sampling pump 43, and the sewage flows into the interior of the sampling cup 31 corresponding to the opened third solenoid valve 55 through the sewage inlet pipe 41, the connecting pipe 46, the sample outlet pipe 44, the sampling slide pipe 58, the sampling pipe 52, the sampling main pipe 51 and the sampling branch pipe 54, thereby completing the sewage sampling treatment of the sampling cup 31;

[0099] Step 8: Repeat steps 6 and 7 to complete the sewage sampling process of other sampling cups 31;

[0100] Step nine: After sampling is completed, each sampling cup 31 is taken out, at which time the sampling branch pipe 54 is separated from the sliding block 82, and the sealing plug 83 automatically slides to block the installation pipe 81 under the traction of the spring 84, thereby preventing the sampled sewage from flowing out of the installation pipe 81.

[0101] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
