Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sampling devices, and particularly relates to a sampling device and method for geothermal energy exploration. Background Art

[0002] As is well known, geothermal energy is a renewable energy source, mainly derived from the decay of radioactive substances inside the earth and the geothermal energy inside the earth. The existence of geothermal energy can cause the temperature of groundwater to rise. These groundwater may flow into rivers, thereby increasing the water temperature of certain sections of the rivers. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in areas with frequent geothermal activities. A sampling device and method for geothermal energy exploration is an auxiliary device that autonomously cruises in water bodies and detects water quality parameters in real time.

[0003] After retrieval, the patent with the Chinese patent publication number CN116754525A discloses an on-line water quality detection device and a control method for water quality detection. It is generally described as including a housing. An inwardly concave receiving opening is formed on the side wall of the housing for receiving the water body to be measured. A first preset space and a second preset space are formed inside the housing. A first through hole and a second through hole are correspondingly provided on both sides of the housing and located at both sides of the receiving opening. The first preset space and the second preset space are respectively located on both sides of the receiving opening. The first through hole communicates with the first preset space, and the second through hole communicates with the second preset space. A first lens is disposed in the first through hole and forms a sealed connection with the first through hole. A second lens is disposed in the second through hole and forms a sealed connection with the second through hole. An optical cleaning device is correspondingly disposed with the first lens and the second lens. The cleaning device is used to clean the first lens and the second lens. When in use, it can improve the accuracy of water quality detection and extend its service life. The patent with the Chinese patent publication number CN114544904A discloses a cruising water quality detection device and a detection method. It is generally described as including a first cylinder, a detection mechanism, and a drainage driving mechanism. The detection mechanism is inserted into the first cylinder. The drainage driving mechanism is installed at the end of the first cylinder. The detection mechanism includes a connecting plate and a second cylinder coaxially and fixedly connected. A control module and several detection units are electrically connected to the second cylinder. The detection probes of the detection units extend into the second cylinder. A submersible pump is installed on the connecting plate. The drainage driving mechanism includes a mounting seat fixedly connected to the end of the first cylinder, a C-shaped frame rotatably connected in the middle to the mounting seat, and a driving component for driving the C-shaped frame to rotate around the axial direction of the first cylinder. A spray head mechanism is provided inside the C-shaped frame. A water flow velocity measuring device is provided outside the first cylinder. The water flow velocity measuring device, the submersible pump, the driving component, and the first solenoid valve are all electrically connected to the control module. When in use, it can ensure water quality sampling and can cruise in water at the same time, so as to facilitate the detection of water quality over a large area.

[0004] Although the above two prior art solutions can both achieve water quality detection, it is difficult to achieve multi-point detection of large-area water quality with the former water quality detection formation. Moreover, the detection method is an optical method. Although it can be repeated, the limitations of the detection items are relatively large. At the same time, the autonomous mobility during the detection process is relatively low. While the latter can cruise in water and achieve large-area water quality detection, the introduction of the detection unit formed after water quality extraction is too general. And through the study of the full text, it can be found that the detection unit is single, and the water sample detection at different detection points is all achieved through this single detection unit. Therefore, the usage limitations are relatively large, and if residues are formed in the detection unit, it will also affect the accuracy of subsequent detection data. Summary of the Invention

[0015] A detection method for a sampling device for geothermal energy exploration includes the following steps:

[0016] [[ID=1%]]S1. Before use, first install a storage battery, a control host and a wireless communication module in the water floating body, and complete the electrical installation between the control host, the wireless communication module, the detection probe group, the spherical camera, the driving structure, the propeller and the folding adjustment frame and the storage battery. At the same time, complete the electrical connection between the wireless communication module, the detection probe group, the spherical camera, the driving structure, the propeller and the folding adjustment frame and the control host to facilitate power supply and signal transmission, and perform relevant debugging;

[0017] S2. During use, place the whole sampling device for geothermal energy exploration on the water surface. During operation, the propeller works electrically to assist in driving the movement of the water floating body relative to the water surface, form movement adjustment according to the position to be detected, and through the unfolding operation of the folding adjustment frame, realize the pushing adjustment of the underwater fusiform frame relative to the water floating body, so as to realize the extension of the underwater fusiform frame into the detection water body and achieve water quality detection at different depths underwater;

[0018] S3. During the detection process, when the water quality is not sampled and detected, the detection bottles are not rotated into the underwater fusiform frame. At this time, the detection probe group detects the free water samples entering the underwater fusiform frame, and realizes the detection of the detected water samples at multiple detection points along with the movement of the underwater fusiform frame;

[0019] S4. During the detection process, when the water quality is sampled and detected, the driving structure works to drive the movement of the belt chain, and then realizes the movement drive of the plurality of detection bottles, so that the detection bottles enter the underwater fusiform frame, and under the cooperation of the auxiliary filling structure, the bottle cap is opened relative to the detection bottle, so that the inside of the detection bottle is communicated with the water in the water sample detection area, so as to realize the entry of the water sample into the detection bottle, and the water entering the detection bottle will be further detected through the detection test strip group;

[0020] After the water sample enters the corresponding detection bottle, the driving structure works again to realize the rotation of the detection bottle relative to the underwater spindle frame, and after the detection bottle rotates out relative to the underwater spindle frame, the driving effect of the auxiliary filling structure on the bottle cap fails, and the bottle cap forms a seal relative to the detection bottle, thereby forming a storage of the water sample that has flowed into the detection bottle.

[0021] S6. Along with the movement of the underwater spindle frame, after the water quality of multiple water sample detection points is detected, the water sample in the detection bottle that has completed sampling will fully interact with the detection test strip group to form corresponding detections. And when the detection bottle rotates into the annular storage bin again, the corresponding data of the detection test strip group can be captured by the spherical camera. The water quality data collected by the detection probe group and the detection data collected by the spherical camera are first sorted and guided by the control host, and then transmitted outward through the wireless communication module.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a sampling device and method for geothermal energy exploration, having the following beneficial effects:

[0023] (1) In the present invention, through the design of the detection mechanism, a detection mechanism that can be submerged relative to the water surface is formed. The detection items are more abundant, and each detection point adopts a relatively independent detection form. The mutual influence between multiple detection points is small, the detection data is more reliable, and the detection repeatability is better.

[0024] (2) In the present invention, through the design of the floating carrier mechanism, a storage-type carrier is formed in combination with the detection mechanism, realizing the storage of the detection mechanism and at the same time realizing the basic cruising water quality detection operation. The detection position is wider, and due to the form of floating on the water, the limitation of structure and size is small, and the practicability is better.

[0025] (3) In the present invention, through the design of the folding adjustment frame, the relative connection and installation between the detection mechanism and the floating carrier mechanism are realized, facilitating the adjustment of the relative position of the detection mechanism relative to the floating carrier mechanism to realize the delivery and recovery of the detection mechanism relative to the water sample area, and the folding rate is high. Under the same storage space occupation, the unfolded length is greater, and the relative deployable area of the detection mechanism is deeper. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For those skilled in the art, their setting methods, installation methods and electrical connection methods only need to be debugged and operated according to the requirements of their user manuals, and will not be elaborated here.

[0048] In summary, the working principle of the sampling device and method for geothermal energy exploration is as follows.

Through the control host, the respective operations of the wireless communication module, the detection probe group 7, the spherical camera 8, the electromagnet 21, the electromagnet 38, and the propeller 11 can be realized. Through the wireless communication module, the information interaction between the control host and the outside world can be realized. When in use, place the entire sampling device for geothermal energy exploration on the water surface. During operation, the propeller 11 is powered on to work to assist in driving the movement of the floating body 10 relative to the water surface, and the movement adjustment is formed according to the position to be detected. In the actual operating state, if the water surface has fluidity, the movement of the floating body 10 can also be realized by means of the flow of the water surface. To facilitate the determination of the relative position of the floating body 10, a Beidou navigation system is installed inside the floating body 10, and according to the usage requirements, a solar panel can be installed on the floating body 10 to improve the battery life. Through the unfolding operation of the folding adjustment frame, that is, multiple electromagnets 21 are powered on to generate an electromagnetic field acting on the permanent magnet rod 22, so that the circular shaft section 18 on the sliding shaft 17 changes its position relative to the shaft hole. Under the relative action of the spiral groove 20 and the spiral plate 19, the rotational unfolding between the fixed installation cylinder 12 and the first folding frame of 14 can be realized, the rotational unfolding between the first folding frame 14 and a middle folding frame 16 away from it, the mutual rotational unfolding between two adjacent middle folding frames 16, the rotational unfolding between the tail folding frame 15 and a middle folding frame 16 away from it, and the rotational unfolding between the tail folding frame 15 and the adjustment installation cylinder 13, so as to realize the pushing adjustment of the underwater fusiform frame 1 relative to the floating body 10 on the water, so as to realize the extension of the underwater fusiform frame 1 into the detection water body. By controlling the current magnitude of the electromagnet 21, the water quality detection at different depths underwater can be achieved. During the detection process, when the water quality is not sampled and detected, the detection bottle 4 does not rotate into the underwater fusiform frame 1. At this time, the detection probe group 7 detects the free water sample entering the underwater fusiform frame 1, and the detection of the water samples at multiple detection points is realized along with the movement of the underwater fusiform frame 1. During the detection process, when the water quality is sampled and detected, the driving structure works to drive the movement of the belt chain 3, and then the movement of multiple detection bottles 4 is driven, so that the detection bottles 4 enter the underwater fusiform frame 1. The working process of the driving structure is that the electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnet 38 being powered on acts on the iron column 39, so that the driving column 36 overcomes the return spring 37 and moves relative to the external installation frame 33. Under the relative action of the side track groove 41 and the transmission rod 43, the rotation of the driving wheel 34 is driven.The rotation of the drive wheel 34 acts on the plurality of fixed seats 24 in sequence through a plurality of drive notches 35 to achieve the sequential drive of the plurality of fixed seats 24. The partially driven fixed seats 24 drive the movement of the belt chain 3, thereby forming the synchronous drive of the plurality of test bottles 4.

[0049] Further, during the movement of the transmission rod 43 relative to the side rail groove 41, since height differences are provided at both communication points between the spiral section 45 and the straight section 46, the unidirectionality of the direction during the mutual switching between the spiral section 45 and the straight section 46 can be ensured. And to ensure the realization of not sampling and detecting the water quality and sampling and detecting the water quality, a vacant position is provided between two adjacent test bottles 4. That is, the electromagnet 38 needs to be continuously powered on twice to drive two adjacent test bottles 4 to complete the switching relative to the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1. When one test bottle 4 is located inside the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1, when the electromagnet 38 is powered on once, the test bottle 4 located inside the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1 will be moved out of the test bottle 4, and the vacant position between the two test bottles 4 will enter the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1. When the electromagnet 38 is powered on again, the vacant position between the two test bottles 4 will be moved out of the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1, and the next test bottle 4 will enter the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1. The test bottle 4 that enters the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1, under the cooperative action of the auxiliary filling structure, achieves the opening of the bottle cap 6 relative to the test bottle 4, so that the inside of the test bottle 4 is in communication with the water in the water sample detection area, thereby realizing the entry of the water sample into the test bottle 4. The water that enters the test bottle 4 will be further detected through the test paper group 5. The opening process of the bottle cap 6 is as follows: after the test bottle 4 enters the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1, since a magnetic attraction effect will be generated between the permanent magnet 31 and the iron bar 32, when the biasing frame 30 pushes the sliding frame 25, the sliding frame 25 moves away from the fixed seat 24 against the elastic action of the connecting spring 26. At the same time, the test bottle 4 inside the sliding frame 25 will also move away from the fixed seat 24, so as to achieve the separation of the cap frame 28 from the permanent magnet 31, and then realize the relative sliding opening of the bottle cap 6 relative to the cap frame 28. After the water sample enters the corresponding test bottle 4, the drive structure works again to realize the rotation of the test bottle 4 relative to the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1. And after the test bottle 4 rotates out of the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1, the driving effect of the auxiliary filling structure on the bottle cap 6 fails, and the bottle cap 6 is closed relative to the test bottle 4, thereby forming the storage of the water sample that has flowed into the test bottle 4. Along with the movement of the underwater spindle-shaped frame 1, after the water quality detection at multiple water sample detection points is completed, the water sample in the test bottle 4 that has completed sampling will fully interact with the test paper group 5 to form corresponding detection. And when the test bottle 4 rotates into the annular storage bin 2 again, the corresponding data of the test paper group 5 can be captured by the spherical camera 8. The water quality data collected by the detection probe group 7 and the detection data collected by the spherical camera 8 are first sorted and collected by the control host, and then transmitted outward through the wireless communication module.

[0050] Furthermore, for the selection of the test paper group 5, a variety of test papers can be selected, such as pH test paper for detecting the acidity and alkalinity of water bodies, ammonia nitrogen test paper for detecting the ammonia nitrogen content in water bodies, and heavy metal test paper for detecting the heavy metal content in water bodies. Since the test paper is detected and identified by color change, the spherical camera 8 can make judgments based on image acquisition, and considering the influence of water impurities and light transmittance, when the spherical camera 8 is unable to well capture the image of the test paper in the water body, it is possible to wait until the underwater shuttle frame 1 enters a suitable water quality environment or the underwater shuttle frame 1 is recovered and entered into the water float 10 before collecting image data. Since geothermal activity may not only increase the water temperature of certain sections of the river but also cause changes in the chemical composition of the water, these changes may include an increase in mineral content or the dissolution of other chemical substances. Therefore, the detection probe group 7 should include a temperature sensor and a variety of optical detection probes, such as an optical turbidity probe and an optical chlorophyll probe, etc., because water quality sampling and testing Water samples are collected during the test, so while the test paper set 5 is being used for testing, subsequent testing of the water samples can also be performed, enriching the scope of testing. To facilitate the distinction of water samples, the test bottles 4 should be designed with labels, and multiple sliding racks 25 are also equipped with serial numbers. By recording the corresponding labels and serial numbers, different test bottles 4 can be corresponded to different locations. After the sampling is completed, the test bottles 4 can be disassembled relative to the sliding racks 25. This not only facilitates the subsequent processing of the water samples after use, but also facilitates the placement and installation of new test bottles 4, further expanding the number of test samples extracted and the practicality of the sampling device for geothermal energy exploration. Based on the detection data of the temperature sensors and multiple optical detection probes included in the sampling device for local thermal energy exploration, the water samples in the test bottles 4 corresponding to the areas with abnormally increased temperature and abnormally increased mineral content or chemical content are preferentially detected to determine the possibility that the area has geothermal energy, thereby achieving the purpose of geothermal energy exploration, forming a rough regional survey of geothermal energy, and providing preparation for the subsequent accurate determination of the geothermal energy location.
