DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, wherein the same components are represented by the same reference numerals.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a soil sampling device comprises an outer tube 1, a soil drilling end 2 is formed at the lower end of the outer tube 1, and an installation channel 3 is formed along the length direction of the outer tube 1.

[0024] Preferably, it also includes an inner tube 4, which is located in the installation channel 3. At the same time, the inner tube 4 slides with the installation channel 3, and the lower end of the inner tube 4 is opened to form a sampling cavity 5. The lower end of the inner tube 4 is circumferentially provided with an annular installation groove 6 and an annular shear piece 7 is provided corresponding to the installation groove 6. The lower end of the shear piece 7 forms a toothed first shear edge 8, and the lower end of the inner tube 4 forms a second shear edge 9 corresponding to the first shear edge 8. The inner wall of the outer tube 1 is provided with a limiting unit 10 corresponding to the shear piece 7. The inner tube 4 is used to drive the shear piece 7 to extend out along the lower end of the installation channel 3. The limiting unit 10 is used to connect the shear piece 7 and limit the shear piece 7 to move only along the axial direction of the installation channel 3, so that the first shear edge 8 and the second shear edge 9 are staggered to complete the shearing work.

[0025] When in use, the operator applies force to the outer tube 1 to drive the device as a whole to be inserted into the soil and move to the deep soil layer, so that the soil enters the sampling cavity 5 to complete the soil sampling effect of different soil layers. When the drilling end 2 has difficulty in moving forward due to the presence of roots at the drilling end 2, the inner tube 4 can be pressed to make the inner tube 4 move further and drive the shear piece 7 to partially extend out of the drilling end 2, so that the first shear edge 8 and the second shear edge 9 can extend out of the drilling end 2, so that the root system is located between the first shear edge 8 and the second shear edge 9, and the shearing effect on the root system is further completed by rotating the inner tube 4.

[0026] At the same time, when there is no root obstruction during the advancement of the outer tube 1, the movable outer tube 1 can retract the first shear edge 8 and the second shear edge 9 into the installation channel 3 to complete the concealment effect, so that during the advancement process, the drilling end 2 is still used as the main force-applying part to reduce the wear of the first shear edge 8 and the second shear edge 9, thereby increasing the service life.

[0027] Preferably, a limit groove 11 is provided on the inner wall of the drilling end 2 corresponding to the mounting groove 6, the limit unit 10 includes a plurality of guide blocks, the plurality of guide blocks are arranged along the length direction of the mounting channel 3 and are arranged circumferentially around the inner wall of the mounting channel 3, the shear piece 7 includes a connecting portion 12, the connecting portion 12 is respectively accommodated in the mounting groove 6 and the limit groove 11, the side wall of the connecting portion 12 is provided with a guide groove corresponding to the guide block and is slidably limited with the guide block.

[0028] Preferably, a first connecting section 13 is formed at the upper end of the inner tube 4, and the outer tube 1 is provided with a movable section 14 corresponding to the first connecting section 13 and a second connecting section 15 corresponding to the lower side of the movable section 14, the first connecting section 13 is movably connected to the movable section 14, and the first connecting section 13 is threadedly connected to the second connecting section 15.

[0029] In the initial state, the first connecting section 13 and the second connecting section 15 are threadedly fixed. At this time, during the advancement process in the soil, the shear piece 7 will be naturally pushed to the uppermost end, so that the connecting portion 12 is in conflict with the upper end of the limiting groove 11; when a shearing action is required, the inner tube 4 is twisted to make the inner tube 4 move further toward the drilling end 2, so that the bottom of the installation groove 6 is in conflict with the shear piece 7 and drives the shear piece 7 to move, so that the first shear edge 8 and the second shear edge 9 extend out of the drilling end 2. Further, when the first connecting section 13 is separated from the second connecting section 15 and connected to the movable section 14, the connecting section 12 is driven by the installation groove 6 and is located at the bottom of the limiting groove 11. At this time, the first shear edge 8 and the second shear edge 9 both extend out of the drilling end 2. Due to the movable connection between the first connecting section 13 and the movable section 14, the inner tube 4 can be rotated by rotating the inner tube 4 so that the inner tube 4 rotates relative to the shear piece 7, thereby achieving the mutually staggered shearing effect of the first shear edge 8 and the second shear edge 9.

[0030] Preferably, a pressure-controlling groove 16 communicating with the sampling chamber 5 is provided on the side wall of the inner tube 4 along the length direction, and the upper end of the pressure-controlling groove 16 is connected to the outside.

[0031] By setting the pressure-controlled groove 16, the pressure in the sampling chamber 5 can be maintained during the forward process, so as to avoid the difficulty of subsequent soil entering the sampling chamber 5 due to excessive pressure in the sampling chamber 5 after the soil enters the sampling chamber 5. At the same time, by setting the pressure-controlled groove 16, the soil in the sampling chamber 5 can be removed through the pressure-controlled groove 16 after the sampling is completed, so as to facilitate use.

[0032] Preferably, the outer wall of the outer tube 1 is provided with a plurality of pedal units 17 along the length direction, and the pedal unit 17 includes a plurality of pedals circumferentially arranged around the outer tube 1 . The outer tube 1 is provided with a storage groove 18 corresponding to the pedal, and one end of the pedal is hinged to the storage groove 18 .

[0033] The arrangement of the storage groove 18 can conceal the pedal unit 17, thereby avoiding the adverse effect of the pedal on the movement of the outer tube 1, and also facilitates the operator to apply force for easy use.

[0034] Preferably, the drilling end 2 is provided with an inclined surface 19 in the circumferential direction.

[0035] The provision of the inclined surface 19 can further reduce the resistance of the drilling end 2 when it moves forward.

[0036] Preferably, the shear piece 7 also includes an annular sheet body 20, a plurality of hook-shaped connecting pieces 21 are formed on the upper side of the sheet body 20, a connecting groove 22 is formed on the lower side of the connecting portion 12 corresponding to the sheet body 20, a limiting rod 23 is provided in the connecting groove 22, and the connecting piece 21 is used to clamp the limiting rod 23 to limit the upward and downward movement of the sheet body 20 relative to the connecting portion 12.

[0037] The arrangement of the connecting piece 21 and the limiting rod 23 enables the sheet body 20 to be quickly assembled and disassembled, thereby facilitating replacement and maintenance.

[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
