Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a soil sampler, and more particularly to a wetland soil sampler based on VR. Background Art

[0002] Virtual reality is a computer-generated environment that allows users to immerse themselves in a simulated space through specialized equipment. Users can interact in this environment and experience an immersive feeling. VR technology is widely used in many fields, including entertainment, education, medicine, and architecture. Wetland soil sampling can study the composition, structure, and water retention capacity of wetland soil, which helps to understand the hydrological dynamics, nutrient cycles, and plant growth conditions of wetlands. However, it is easy for people to go to wetland environments to sample soil, and the terrain of the wetland cannot accurately sample the wetland soil without being immersed in it. This requires the combination of virtual reality technology and wetland soil samplers, but the existing technology lacks such equipment that combines virtual reality technology and wetland soil samplers, which is not convenient for sampling deep soil. Summary of the invention

A square column is provided on the upper part of each half-cylinder shovel, and L-shaped seats are fixed on both sides of the top seat. Two square columns are slidably connected to the two L-shaped seats respectively.

[0006] A motor 1 is fixed on the top seat, screw rods are fixed on the front and rear output shafts of the motor 1, a bar is fixed on the end of each square column, and the two screw rods are matched with the two bar rods through threads.

[0025] like Figure 4-5 As shown, this example can achieve the effect of preventing the soil from falling off the half-cylinder shovel 101 when the half-cylinder shovel 101 is pulled out.

[0026] Since the VR-based wetland soil sampler includes a half-cylinder shovel 101, a pointed head 102 is provided at the bottom of the half-cylinder shovel 101, and a narrow portion 103 is provided at the inner upper portion of the half-cylinder shovel 101, and the narrow portion 103 is conical. The pointed head 102 facilitates the half-cylinder shovel 101 to be inserted deep into the soil for soil sampling, so that the half-cylinder shovel 101 rotates while being inserted into the soil, thereby allowing the soil to enter the inner side of the half-cylinder shovel 101. Since the narrow portion 103 is provided at the inner upper portion of the half-cylinder shovel 101, the soil in the half-cylinder shovel 101 is squeezed inside the half-cylinder shovel 101, thereby preventing the soil from escaping from the half-cylinder shovel 101 when the half-cylinder shovel 101 is pulled out.

[0027] like Figure 4-5 As shown, this example can achieve the effect of facilitating the separation of the sampled soil from the half-cylinder shovel 101 .

[0028] Since a vertical gap 112 is provided on the half-cylinder shovel 101, the gap 112 divides the half-cylinder shovel 101 into two parts, front and rear parts. A square column 111 is welded on the upper part of each half-cylinder shovel 101, and L-shaped seats 110 are welded on both sides of the top seat 104. The two square columns 111 are respectively slidably connected to the two L-shaped seats 110. When the two square columns 111 slide, the front and rear parts of the half-cylinder shovel 101 are driven to approach or move away from each other, thereby controlling the front and rear parts of the half-cylinder shovel 101 to move away from each other, so that the sampled soil can be separated from the half-cylinder shovel 101, which is convenient for testing the soil after sampling.

[0029] like Figure 4-5 As shown, this example can achieve the effect of driving the two square columns 111 and the two half-cylinder shovels 101 to move closer to or away from each other.

[0030] Since the top seat 104 is connected to a motor 107 by screws, the front and rear output shafts of the motor 107 are connected to screw rods 108, and the ends of each square column 111 are welded with bars 109, and the two screw rods 108 are respectively matched with the two bars 109 by threads. The two screw rods 108 are driven to rotate by the motor 107, thereby driving the two bars 109 to move closer to or away from each other, and further driving the two square columns 111 and the two half-barrel shovels 101 to move closer to or away from each other.

[0031] like Figure 4-7 As shown, this example can achieve the effect of facilitating the insertion of the half-barrel shovel 101 into the soil and allowing the soil to remain inside the half-barrel shovel 101 .

[0032] Since an insert tube 106 is welded to the upper side of the top seat 104, a threaded column 105 is horizontally inserted on the insert tube 106, and nuts are threadedly connected to both ends of the threaded column 105. The screw 202 is inserted into the insert tube 106, and the threaded column 105 passes through the lower part of the screw 202. The screw 202 cooperates with the crossbeam 201 through the thread, and the screw 202 is conveniently connected to the insert tube 106 through the insert tube 106. The threaded column 105 can fix the insert tube 106 on the screw 202. When the screw 202 rotates, it can be raised and lowered on the crossbeam 201, thereby driving the half-cylinder shovel 101 to rotate and insert into the soil, which makes it easier for the half-cylinder shovel 101 to insert into the soil and allow the soil to remain on the inner side of the half-cylinder shovel 101.

[0033] like Figure 6-7 As shown, this example can achieve the effect of driving the screw 202 to rotate.

[0034] Since the upper part of the screw 202 is connected to the output shaft of the motor three 205 through a coupling, the motor three 205 is connected to the upper part of the lifting frame 206 through screws, and the lifting frame 206 is vertically slidably connected to the beam 201, when the motor three 205 rotates, it can drive the screw 202 to rotate, and the lifting frame 206 can slide vertically on the beam 201 to adapt to the height change of the motor three 205.

[0035] like Figure 6-7 As shown, this example can achieve the effect of immersive wetland soil sampling.

[0036] Since the upper part of the lifting frame 206 is welded with a motor frame 204, two motors 203 are connected to the motor frame 204 by screws, and the output shafts of the two motors 203 are connected to a rotating plate 207, and the lower side of each rotating plate 207 is connected to multiple VR panoramic cameras 208 by screws. Multiple VR panoramic cameras 208 can shoot the terrain of the wetland in 3D. At this time, the person who remotely controls the wetland soil sampler can wear VR glasses to observe the environment of the wetland, and then conduct wetland soil sampling in an immersive way. The pictures taken by the VR panoramic camera 208 are transmitted via a wireless network. The motor 203 drives the rotating plate 207 to rotate, and then drives the VR panoramic camera 208 to adjust the shooting angle for more comprehensive panoramic shooting.

[0037] like Figure 10-11 As shown, this example can prevent the sampled soil from being spilled during transportation.

[0038] Since a horizontal column 503 is welded to the left end of the crossbeam 201, a portal frame 504 is slidably connected to the horizontal column 503 in a transverse direction, a telescopic rod 505 is connected to the left part of the horizontal column 503 by screws, and the movable end of the telescopic rod 505 is connected to the portal frame 504 by screws, and a flat column 506 is welded to the lower end of the portal frame 504, and two convex plates 507 are slidably connected to the front and rear ends of the flat column 506 respectively, and a covering tube 501 is welded to each convex plate 507, and an extension plate 502 is arranged on the right side of each covering tube 501, and the two extension plates 502 are arranged in a V shape, and compression springs are sleeved on the front and rear ends of the flat column 506, and the two compression springs are respectively located on the outside of the two convex plates 507. The two compression springs apply force to the two convex plates 507 and the two covering tubes 501 to move closer to each other, so that the two covering tubes 501 always tend to move closer to each other. When the half-cylinder shovel 101 is pulled out of the soil after sampling, the telescopic rod 505 drives the gantry 504 to slide horizontally on the cross column 503, so that the two covering tubes 501 move closer to the convex surface of the half-cylinder shovel 101. At this time, the two extension plates 502 come into contact with the convex surface of the half-cylinder shovel 101. At this time, the two extension plates 502 and the two covering tubes 501 are stretched apart. After the two covering tubes 501 are separated, they move closer to each other again through the force of the two compression springs, and the half-cylinder shovel 101 is covered, thereby preventing the sampled soil from being spilled during transportation.

[0039] like Figure 6-9 As shown, this example can achieve the effect of driving the crossbeam 201 and the half-barrel shovel 101 to rotate to different directions for soil sampling.

[0040] Since the right end of the crossbeam 201 is vertically slidably connected to the vertical column 303, the upper part of the vertical column 303 is welded to the crossbar 301, and a telescopic rod 302 is connected to the crossbar 301 by screws, and the movable end of the telescopic rod 302 is connected to the crossbar 201 by screws, and the right end of the crossbar 301 is connected to the upper part of the main shaft 403 by screws, and a round table 305 is welded on the upper side of the crossbar 301, and a plurality of cameras 304 are arranged in a ring shape on the round table 305, and the output shaft of the motor 402 is connected to the lower part of the main shaft 403 through a coupling, and the motor 402 is connected to the round seat 401 by screws. When the telescopic rod 302 is extended and retracted, it drives the crossbeam 201 to rise and fall, and then drives the half-barrel shovel 101 to rise and fall to adapt to terrains of different heights; the motor 402 can drive the main shaft 403 to rotate, and then drive the crossbar 301 to rotate to different directions, and then drive the crossbeam 201 and the half-barrel shovel 101 to rotate to different directions for soil sampling. The multiple cameras 304 on the round platform 305 are equivalent to the eyes of the round seat 401, which observe the surrounding environment of the wetland in all directions and help the round seat 401 reach the required position.

[0041] like Figure 8-9As shown, this example can achieve the effect of moving the round seat 401 to different locations on the wetland to perform soil sampling.

[0042] Since two wheel plates 405 are welded on the lower side of the round seat 401, two motors 5 404 are connected to each wheel plate 405 by screws, and a pulley 407 is connected to the output shaft of each motor 5 404, and a crawler 406 is arranged between the two pulleys 407 on the same side. The pulley 407 is driven to rotate by the motor 5 404, and then the crawler 406 is driven to rotate, and then the rotation of the two crawlers 406 allows the round seat 401 to move to different positions on the wetland for soil sampling. Batteries and wireless network transmission components in the prior art are fixed on the round seat 401.
