Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water sampling technology, and more specifically, to a water sampling device for mineral water resource exploration. Background Technology

[0002] Mineral water contains a certain amount of mineral salts, trace elements, or carbon dioxide gas; under normal circumstances, its chemical composition, flow rate, and water temperature remain relatively stable within natural fluctuations. Mineral water resource exploration is a complex and systematic process, primarily aimed at locating and determining the location, quantity, quality, and extraction conditions of mineral water sources, providing a scientific basis for subsequent mineral water development. After discovering mineral water resources, it is necessary to sample and analyze the water source to determine its hydrogeological conditions.

[0003] When collecting water samples from mineral water, staff need to use a water sampling device to take samples at different locations and depths to improve the accuracy of the test results. This process involves multiple operations: after collecting multiple samples at different depths in one location, staff move on to the next location at different depths. Each time, the entire device must be removed from the water, then placed back in and repositioned for the next sampling. This complex process also makes it difficult for water from other depths to seep into the sampling device during immersion, potentially affecting the accuracy of the sampling results. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water sample collection device for mineral water resource exploration, which can conveniently collect water samples at different depths and remove the collected water samples without removing the entire device out of the water body, thus facilitating the next sampling process.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a water sample collection device for mineral water resource exploration, comprising:

[0006] A cylindrical body, with one end open and the other end sealed, and multiple water inlet pipes arranged circumferentially at the bottom of the cylindrical body, the water inlet pipes including a horizontal section located outside the cylindrical body and an arc-shaped section located inside the cylindrical body;

[0007] A floating seat, which is sleeved on the outside of the cylinder and can float on the water surface, is provided with a positioning component for fixing the position of the cylinder;

[0008] A water intake mechanism, comprising an installation ring and a drive assembly, wherein the installation ring has multiple collection tubes distributed circumferentially, and the drive assembly is used to drive the installation ring to slide along the length of the tube to a specified depth inside the tube, and at the specified depth drive the installation ring to rotate so that the multiple collection tubes move one by one to directly below the water inlet pipe.

[0009] Two sets of clamping components are provided, both of which are located above the water inlet pipe and can clamp the water inlet pipe. One set of clamping components is located inside the cylinder, and the other set of clamping components is located outside the cylinder. Support blocks for supporting the water inlet pipe are provided on both the inner and outer walls of the cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a drive motor and a lead screw. A support frame is provided at the open end of the cylinder, and a mounting block is provided at the closed end of the cylinder. One end of the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the mounting block, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the support frame. The drive motor is mounted on the support frame and can drive the lead screw to rotate. The middle part of the mounting ring is threaded onto the lead screw. A guide block is provided on the mounting ring and on the outside of each collection cylinder. Multiple guide grooves are opened along the vertical direction on the cylinder. The bottom end of the guide groove is connected to an arc-shaped groove. When the guide block moves to the end of the guide groove, it can rotate into the arc-shaped groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping component includes a clamping ring, and clamping electric cylinders are provided on both sides of the top of the clamping ring. The clamping electric cylinders are fixed to the cylinder wall of the cylinder by mounting seats. The support block has a groove adapted to the shape of the water inlet pipe, and the bottom of the clamping ring has an arc-shaped protrusion for pressing against the water inlet pipe to seal the water inlet pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the cylinder body is provided with multiple through grooves, the area of ​​which is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the water inlet pipe. An elastic diaphragm is provided in the through groove, and the water inlet pipe passes through the elastic diaphragm and the outer wall of the water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the elastic diaphragm.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting ring is circumferentially provided with multiple placement rings for inserting the collection tube, and a support plate is provided on the mounting ring and directly below the placement rings. The support plate is fixedly connected to the mounting ring by a support rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the support frame includes a central plate and multiple connecting rods, with each connecting rod corresponding to the one above the water inlet pipe. When the mounting ring moves upward to the open end of the cylinder, the collecting cylinder is located in the gap between two connecting rods.

[0015] Furthermore, the cylinder is provided with scale lines along its own height direction, and the starting position of the scale lines is at the same horizontal height as the water inlet pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, the floating seat is provided with a water level observation port for observing the scale lines.

[0017] Furthermore, the positioning element includes a positioning seat, on which a positioning screw is threadedly connected, and the end of the positioning screw passes through the positioning seat and can abut against the cylinder.

[0018] Furthermore, a guide bar is axially arranged on the outer wall of the cylinder, and a guide notch is provided on the floating seat for the guide bar to slide.

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This invention features a cylinder with a bottom-sealed opening, water inlet pipes around the cylinder, and a water-collecting mechanism that slides within the cylinder. The water-collecting mechanism is moved downwards to the bottom of the water inlet pipes, and only when the operator opens the clamping device can water enter the cylinder from the water inlet pipes and be collected by the water-collecting mechanism. This avoids the water sample accuracy being affected by the seepage of upper water samples during the water collection process.

[0021] 2. This invention sets graduation lines on the cylinder, sets a floating seat on the outside of the cylinder, and sets a positioning component on the floating seat. After the cylinder and the floating seat are placed in the water, the graduation reading of the part of the cylinder at the water surface is the sampling depth. Therefore, when sampling at a specified depth, it is only necessary to adjust the relative position of the cylinder and the floating seat, and make the graduation reading of the part of the cylinder where it intersects with the water surface consistent with the required sampling depth after the cylinder and the floating seat are fixed in position, thus ensuring the accuracy of the sampling depth.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0031] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0032] Example

[0033] The following is for reference Figures 1-7As shown in the illustration, and further explained with reference to a specific embodiment, this embodiment provides a water sampling device for mineral water resource exploration, including a cylinder 1, a floating seat 3, a water sampling mechanism 4, and two sets of clamping components 5. One end of the cylinder 1 is open, and the other end is sealed. Multiple water inlet pipes 2 are arranged circumferentially at the bottom of the cylinder 1. Each water inlet pipe 2 includes a horizontal section 21 located outside the cylinder 1 and an arc-shaped section 22 located inside the cylinder 1. When the sealed end of the cylinder 1 is placed into the water body and the open end of the cylinder 1 is above the water surface, water will not escape from the cylinder 1. The bottom and side walls of the inlet pipe 2 do not enter the cylinder 1 directly; instead, it can only enter the arc-shaped section 22 from the horizontal section 21 and then from the arc-shaped section 22 into the cylinder 1. The floating seat 3 is fitted onto the outside of the cylinder 1 and can float on the water surface. The floating seat 3 is equipped with a positioning component 31 for fixing the position of the cylinder 1. The floating seat 3 always floats above the water surface. By changing the relative position between the cylinder 1 and the floating seat 3 and fixing the cylinder 1 with the positioning component 31, the depth to which the cylinder 1 is inserted into the water can be changed, thereby allowing the inlet pipe 2 to collect water samples at a specified depth. After collecting water samples at one location, the staff can pull the entire water sampling device in the water to the next sampling location, thus allowing the cylinder 1 to directly collect water samples at the specified depth of the next sampling location.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder 1 has a scale line 15 along its height. The starting point of the scale line 15 is at the same horizontal height as the water inlet pipe 2. After the cylinder 1 and the floating seat 3 are placed in the water, the scale reading at the water surface of the cylinder 1 is the sampling depth. Therefore, when sampling at a specified depth, it is only necessary to adjust the relative position of the cylinder 1 and the floating seat 3, and fix the cylinder 1 and the floating seat 3 in their fixed positions. The scale reading at the intersection of the cylinder 1 and the water surface is consistent with the required sampling depth, thus ensuring the accuracy of the sampling depth. To facilitate the observation of the scale reading at the intersection of the cylinder 1 and the water surface by the staff, the floating seat 3 is provided with a water level observation port 32 for observing the scale line 15.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a guide bar 16 is axially arranged on the outer wall of the cylinder 1, and a guide notch 33 is provided on the floating seat 3 for the guide bar 16 to slide, so as to ensure the stability of the cylinder 1 when the relative displacement between the cylinder 1 and the floating seat 3 occurs. The positioning component 31 includes a positioning seat 311, and a positioning screw 312 is threadedly connected to the positioning seat 311. The end of the positioning screw 312 passes through the positioning seat 311 and can abut against the cylinder 1. After the relative position of the cylinder 1 and the floating seat 3 is adjusted, the position of the cylinder 1 is fixed by tightening the positioning screw 312 and pressing the end of the positioning screw 312 against the outer wall of the cylinder 1.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, both sets of clamping members 5 are located above the water inlet pipe 2 and can clamp the water inlet pipe 2. One set of clamping members 5 is installed inside the cylinder 1, and the other set of clamping members 5 is installed outside the cylinder 1. Support blocks 11 for supporting the water inlet pipe 2 are provided on the inner and outer walls of the cylinder 1. When any set of clamping members 5 clamps the water inlet pipe 2 to deform the water inlet pipe 2 and put it in a closed state, water cannot enter the cylinder 1 through the water inlet pipe 2. The water collection mechanism 4 includes a mounting ring 41 and a drive assembly 42. Multiple collection tubes 43 are distributed circumferentially on the mounting ring 41. The drive assembly 42 is used to drive the mounting ring 41 to slide along the length of the cylinder 1 to a specified depth inside the cylinder 1, and at the specified depth, drive the mounting ring 41 to rotate so that the multiple collection tubes 43 move one by one to directly below the water inlet pipe 2. When water sampling is required, the drive assembly 42 is activated. The drive assembly 42 first drives the mounting ring 41 to move vertically to a specified depth inside the cylinder 1. During the movement, the sampling tube on the mounting ring 41 is offset from the position of the water inlet pipe 2, so it can descend smoothly below the water inlet pipe 2. Then the drive assembly 42 continues to drive the mounting ring 41 to rotate, so as to drive multiple sampling tubes 43 to move simultaneously. After the movement, each sampling tube 43 is located directly below multiple water inlet pipes 2, so as to facilitate the collection of water samples entering the cylinder 1 from the water inlet pipe 2.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the drive assembly 42 includes a drive motor 421 and a lead screw 422. A support frame 423 is fixedly installed at the open end of the cylinder 1, and a mounting block 424 is welded to the sealed end of the cylinder 1. One end of the lead screw 422 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 424, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support frame 423. The drive motor 421 is fixedly installed on the support frame 423, and the output shaft of the drive motor 421 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 422. The middle part of the mounting ring 41 is threaded onto the lead screw 422. A guide block 411 is provided on the mounting ring 41 and on the outside of each collection cylinder 43. Multiple guide grooves 12 are opened vertically on the cylinder 1. An arc groove 13 is provided at the bottom end of the guide groove 12. When the guide block 411 moves to the end of the guide groove 12, it can rotate into the arc groove 13. Initially, the mounting ring 41 is located near the opening end of the cylinder 1. After the collection tube 43 is placed on the mounting ring 41, the drive motor 421 is started to drive the lead screw 422 to rotate. Since the guide block 411 is restricted by the guide groove 12, the mounting ring 41 cannot rotate. Therefore, under the drive of the lead screw 422, the mounting ring 41 will move vertically into the cylinder 1. When the guide block 411 reaches the end of the guide groove 12, it is no longer restricted by the guide groove 12. Therefore, when the lead screw 422 continues to rotate, it can drive the mounting ring 41 to rotate and move the guide block 411 into the arc groove 13. The height of the arc groove 13 is lower than the height of the lowest end of the water inlet pipe 2. Therefore, during the process of the mounting ring 41 driving the collection tube 43 to rotate, the collection tube 43 will not come into contact with the water inlet pipe 2. When the guide ring moves to the end of the arc groove 13, the collection tube 43 is located directly below the water inlet pipe 2, so as to collect the water sample entering from the water inlet pipe 2.

[0038] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the mounting ring 41 has multiple placement rings 412 arranged circumferentially for the collection tube 43 to be placed. A support plate 413 is arranged on the mounting ring 41 and directly below the placement rings 412. The support plate 413 is fixedly connected to the mounting ring 41 by a support rod 414. When the collection tube 43 is placed into the placement ring 412, the bottom end of the collection tube 43 is supported by the support plate 413 and remains stable. The support frame 423 includes a center plate 4231 and multiple connecting rods 4232. The multiple connecting rods 4232 are located one-to-one above the water inlet pipe 2. When the mounting ring 41 moves upward to the open end of the cylinder 1, the placement ring 412 is located in the gap between two connecting rods 4232. Therefore, after the collection tube 43 is placed into the placement ring 412, it is also located in the gap between two connecting rods 4232, which makes it convenient to remove the collection tube 43 with water sample from the placement ring 412 and put the empty collection tube 43 into the placement ring 412 for convenient sampling again.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 6As shown, the clamping component 5 includes a clamping ring 51, and clamping electric cylinders 52 are provided on both sides of the top of the clamping ring 51. The clamping electric cylinders 52 are fixed to the cylinder wall of the cylinder 1 by the mounting base 53. The support block 11 has a groove that matches the shape of the water inlet pipe 2. The two support blocks 11 can support the horizontal section 21 and the arc section 22 of the water inlet pipe 2 respectively to prevent the position of the water inlet pipe 2 from shifting. The bottom of the clamping ring 51 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 511 for pressing against the water inlet pipe 2 to close the water inlet pipe 2. When the water inlet pipe 2 is clamped, the cross section of the water inlet pipe 2 is flattened from a circle, and finally the cross section of the water inlet pipe 2 forms two arc-shaped segments that are close to each other in the groove of the support block 11, thereby achieving the sealing effect of the water inlet pipe 2. When it is necessary to change the sampling position or sampling depth, first, the clamping member 5 located inside the cylinder 1 clamps the water inlet pipe 2, and then the clamping member 5 located outside the cylinder 1 clamps the water inlet pipe 2 to reduce the amount of water remaining in the water inlet pipe 2. After moving to the designated sampling position, the clamping member 5 located inside the cylinder 1 is kept in a clamped state, and the clamping member 5 located outside the cylinder 1 is repeatedly loosened and tightened. This allows water from the moved sampling position to enter the water inlet pipe 2 and replace the water sample remaining in the water inlet pipe 2, thereby draining the water from the original sampling position to improve the accuracy of sampling. During sampling, the entire water sampling device is rotated at a specified angle in the water body so that the positions of multiple water inlet pipes 2 change simultaneously, so that the water sample during the water intake process is not affected by the residual water sample.

[0040] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the cylinder 1 has multiple through slots, the area of ​​which is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the inlet pipe 2. An elastic diaphragm 14 is installed inside the through slot, and the inlet pipe 2 passes through the elastic diaphragm 14 with its outer wall fixedly connected to the diaphragm 14. When the clamping ring 51 presses the inlet pipe 2, the shape of the inlet pipe 2 changes to ensure that the clamping position is in a closed state. By opening through slots and installing elastic diaphragms 14 in the cylinder 1, the elastic diaphragm 14 can deform to adapt to the change in the shape of the inlet pipe 2. Therefore, it can ensure the sealing of the connection between the inlet pipe 2 and the through slot while adapting to the change in the shape of the inlet pipe 2, thus preventing water samples from entering the cylinder 1 from the gaps.

[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
