And the gas guide pipe 203 is installed inside the fixed pipe 204 arranged on the protection mechanism 2. The fixed pipe 204 penetrates through the interior of the driven wheel 21, and the lower end of the fixed pipe 204 is connected to the conduction cavity 221. The fixed pipe 204 abuts against the rolling balls 212 arranged inside the driven wheel 21, and the interior of the driven wheel 21 is connected to the axis of the rolling balls 212 through the arranged bracket 211. A buffer pipe 222 is also arranged at the upper end of the interior of the drilling cylinder 22, and the bottom of the buffer pipe 222 is connected to a top plate 223. The top plate 223 limits the upper end of the core sampled by the drilling cylinder 22. The outside of the conduction cavity 221 is connected to the air guide cavity 224 arranged at the upper end of the interior of the drilling cylinder 22, and the air guide cavity 224 is connected to the diversion groove 225 embedded in the inner wall of the drilling cylinder 22. An intercepting mechanism 226 is also arranged at the lower end of the drilling cylinder 22. The intercepting mechanism 226 is composed of a conductive disk 2261, an outer ring 2262, a vibration conducting plate 2263 and a contact end 2264. The conductive disk 2261 is embedded in the middle and lower part of the drilling cylinder 22, and the conductive disk 2261 is electrically connected to the vibration conducting plate 2263 arranged inside the outer ring 2262 through a wire.

[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, a buffer frame 31 is further provided at the upper end of the motor 3, and a spring 311 is provided inside the edge end of the buffer frame 31. The lower end of the spring 311 is connected to a support rod 312, and the upper end of the support rod 312 is installed inside the edge end of the buffer frame 31 by clearance fit. The lower end of the support rod 312 is fixed on the upper surface of the support top plate 1. A contact end 313 is provided on the bottom surface of the middle part of the buffer frame 31, and the contact end 313 abuts against the center of the upper end of the motor 3.

The guiding ring 5 positions the sampling center. And before core sampling, by rotating the screw rod 42 at the bottom of the support air rod 4 and the grounding pad 43 in cooperation, the grounding pad 43 can adjust the height at the bottom of the support air rod 4. By independently adjusting the height of the four support air rods 4, the four support air rods 4 can stably support the support top plate 1 on the uneven rock formation surface, improving the stability of subsequent core sampling. Then, the motor 3 is started to drive the drilling cylinder 22 and the drill bit 227 to rotate. Then, the support air rod 4 is started to drive the support top plate 1 to descend. At this time, the drill bit 227 penetrates into the inside of the guiding ring 5 and vertically drills the core downward. When the core enters the inside of the drilling cylinder 22, then the conductive disk 2261 is started to energize the vibration guide plate 2263. At this time, the contact end 2264 can quickly break the lower end of the core, so as to intercept the core inside the rock formation. Then, the inert gas tank 201 and the heat preservation gas tank 202 are used to transmit gas into the inside of the drilling cylinder 22. Through a plurality of diversion grooves 225, the inert gas and the heat preservation gas inside the inert gas tank 201 and the heat preservation gas tank 202 can be evenly transmitted into the inside of the drilling cylinder 22 and wrapped around the outer periphery of the core, improving the protection effect on the core and preventing the core inside from breaking when the drilling cylinder 22 is lifted.

[0020] In a preferred technical solution, the inert gas tank 201 and the heat preservation gas tank 202 can simultaneously transmit inert gas and heat preservation gas into the inside of the drilling cylinder 22 to perform sealing and heat preservation work on the core drilled inside the drilling cylinder 22, avoiding the situation of cracking during the lifting of core sampling. And with the auxiliary sliding of the four balls 212, it is ensured that the fixed tube 204 can remain on the same axis as the driven wheel 21 during the rotation of the driven wheel 21 and will not collide, improving the protection effect of the fixed tube 204 on the internal air guide tube 203; A preferred technical solution is that a plurality of diversion grooves 225 are provided and are distributed in an inclined state with the inner end lower and the outer end higher. Through the plurality of diversion grooves 225, the inert gas and the heat-insulating gas inside the inert gas box 201 and the heat-insulating gas box 202 can be evenly transmitted into the drill core barrel 22 and wrapped around the outer periphery of the core, improving the protection effect on the core. A preferred technical solution is that the outer ring 2262, the vibration guide plate 2263 and the contact end 2264 are all of annular structures, and the inner width of the contact end 2264 is smaller than the outer width, which can concentrate the vibration, so that the contact end 2264 can quickly break the lower end of the core, thereby intercepting the core inside the rock formation, facilitating the lifting of the core from the rock formation, and eliminating the need for subsequent manual knocking to break the core for extraction, improving the integrity of core sampling. A preferred technical solution is that four springs 311 and four support rods 312 are provided, and two of them are in a group and are respectively installed at the two edge ends of the buffer frame 31. Under the elastic support of the four springs 311 and the support rods 312 and the abutment of the abutting end 313 against the center of the upper end of the motor 3, the damping and buffering effect of the buffer frame 31 on the rotation of the motor 3 is improved, avoiding large vibrations of the motor 3 and affecting the sampling stability of the core. A preferred technical solution is that internal threads are provided on the inner side of the grounding pad 43. By rotating the grounding pad 43 to cooperate with the screw 42 at the bottom of the support air rod 4, the height of the grounding pad 43 can be adjusted at the bottom of the support air rod 4. By independently adjusting the height of the four support air rods 4, the four support air rods 4 can stably support the support top plate 1 on the uneven rock formation surface, and the lifting of the support top plate 1 can be adjusted through the four support air rods 4. Lowering drives the drill core barrel 22 and the drill bit 227 to enter the rock formation for core drilling, thereby improving the stability during core sampling. Using the technical solution of the present invention, or those skilled in the art being inspired by the technical solution of the present invention to design similar technical solutions and achieving the above technical effects shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
