[0035] During operation, when sampling is required for the observed sea area, the mounting block 2 is mounted on the unmanned submersible, and then the unmanned submersible is controlled to dive into the seabed of the target sea area; when the unmanned submersible reaches the sampling position, the sampling mechanism is activated to remove the sample from the sampled object by shearing. Since the seabed soil is soft and there is not enough support force to support the stability of the unmanned submersible, the unmanned submersible does not need support force by shearing, so that the sample collection can be perfectly completed;

[0036] When the sampling mechanism completes sampling, the collecting mechanism is started, and the sample taken by the sampling mechanism can be transported to the front sampling tube 4 through the collecting mechanism; when the sample enters the front sampling tube 4, the sampling of the first sample is completed. Before the next sampling, the rotating mechanism is started first, and the next sampling tube 4 is driven to the front position through the rotating mechanism to facilitate the collection of the next sample.

[0038] The driving mechanism includes a first cylinder 8, which is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 7 and a push block 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first cylinder 8.

[0040] During operation, the sampling tube 5 and the universal tube 14 on the lower side can be pulled to start bending by starting the second cylinder 15, and the gear 12 can be driven to rotate by starting the motor 11, and the gear 12 will drive the outer gear ring 13 to rotate, and the outer gear ring 13 will drive the sampling tubes 5 on the upper and lower sides to rotate, so that the sampling tube 5 on the bottom side can be driven to rotate to any angle, so as to facilitate sampling of the sampling tube 5 on the bottom side; when the sampling part of the sampling tube 5 is adjusted to the sampling position, the position of the sampling tube 5 is stopped at this time, and then the two first cylinders 8 are started, and the first cylinders 8 drive the push block 9 connected thereto to move downward, and the push block 9 pushes the two shear plates 6 to close respectively through the two first connecting rods 10 connected thereto, and after the two shear plates 6 are closed, the sample and its body will be automatically cut off, and the sample will be retained in the sampling tube 5.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, as a further solution of the present invention, the collecting mechanism includes a water pump 16, the water pump 16 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 1, and the water pump 16 suction port is located at the bottom of the transport tube 3 away from the sampling tube 5; the transport tube 3 is away from the sampling tube 5 The end of the fixed plate 1 is in contact with the fixed plate 1, and a groove 17 is opened on the fixed plate 1 at this part; the frontmost sampling tube 4 is located directly below the groove 17 and directly above the water pump 16, and the water pump 16 suction port is in contact with the bottom end of the frontmost sampling tube 4;

[0042] During operation, when the two shear plates 6 are closed, the sample is cut off and retained in the sampling tube 5. At this time, the water pump 16 is started. Since the water pump 16 and the front sampling tube 4, the transport tube 3 and the sampling tube 5 are all in a connected state, the water pump 16 can pump water into the front sampling tube 4 through the sampling tube 5 when pumping water. At this time, under the action of the water flow, the sample in the sampling tube 5 will follow the water flow to the front sampling tube 4.

[0043] like Figure 7-9 As shown, as a further solution of the present invention, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating frame 18, the rotating frame 18 is rotatably connected to the fixed disk 1 and the rotating frame 18 is fixedly connected to multiple sampling tubes 4; a protective tube 19 is rotatably connected to the bottom position of the rotating frame 18, and a torsion spring 20 is arranged in the protective tube 19, one end of the torsion spring 20 is fixedly connected to the protective tube 19 and the other end of the torsion spring 20 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 18; the protective tube 19 is fixedly connected to the fixed disk 1; a first baffle 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom position of the front side of the fixed disk 1; a blocking mechanism is arranged in the sampling tube 4, and the blocking mechanism is used to clamp the first baffle 21 to block the rotation of the rotating frame 18; a detection mechanism is arranged in the sampling tube 4, and the detection mechanism is used to drive the blocking mechanism in the driving tube to disengage from the first baffle 21 after the sample enters the sampling tube 4;

[0045] The detection mechanism includes a second sliding ring 27, which is located in the sampling tube 4 and above the first sliding ring 22, and the second sliding ring 27 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sampling tube 4; a guide plate 28 is fixedly connected inside the second sliding ring 27, and the middle part of the guide plate 28 is concave downward and the middle part of the guide plate 28 is a water-permeable mesh structure;

[0046] The first sliding ring 22 and the second sliding ring 27 are both made of floatable materials;

[0047] During operation, when the water pump 16 extracts the sample into the sampling tube 4 at the front side, the sample will move to the middle position of the guide plate 28 under the action of the guide plate 28. When the sample moves to the middle position of the guide plate 28, the sample will block the water-permeable part of the guide plate 28, and the water flow cannot smoothly pass through the guide plate 28. Under the action of the water pump 16, the guide plate 28 will drive the second sliding ring 27 to start moving downward; when the second sliding ring 27 moves downward to a position where it fits with the first sliding ring 22, it starts to drive the first sliding ring 22 to move downward. When the first sliding ring 22 moves downward, it will drive the sliding block 24 to slide in the sliding block 24 through the second connecting rod 23. When the second baffle 25 on the front side moves to the inner position of the sampling tube 4, the second baffle 25 is disengaged from the first baffle 21. After losing the obstruction of the first baffle 21, the rotating frame 18 starts to rotate under the action of the torsion spring 20, and the rotating frame 18 drives all the sampling tubes 4 to rotate at the same time. When the second baffle 25 on the next sampling tube 4 rotates to the position that fits with the first baffle 21, the rotating frame 18 will be stationary again, so that the sampling tube 4 can be automatically switched, so as to achieve the effect of classifying and preserving samples.
