DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 The present invention provides a technical solution: a slurry layered sampling device, which consists of a base 1, a front panel 2, a sealing cover 3, a sampling bottle 4, and a control shaft 5.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 2-4 A pull ring 11 is fixed on the top of the base 1, which makes it convenient for the operator to take the device. A control shaft 5 is arranged throughout the length of the base 1, and a bottom positioning hole 12 is provided at the bottom of the base 1. The bottom of the control shaft 5 can be rotatably fixed in the bottom positioning hole 12, and a knob 51 is fixedly connected to the top. The control shaft 5 passes through the shaft hole 13 at the top of the base 1, so that the knob 51 is set at the top of the base 1. A plurality of guide plates 6 are evenly distributed on the control shaft 5. A through hole 61 for the control shaft 5 to pass through is opened in the center of the guide plate 6, and the guide plate 6 is fixedly connected to the control shaft 5. By manually rotating the knob 51, the control shaft 5 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the guide plate 6 to rotate, and the rotation angle is 90°.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 5-6 A slurry channel 62 is provided inside the guide plate 6. The slurry channel 62 is curved and avoids the control shaft 5. The openings at both ends of the slurry channel 62 are on the side of the guide plate 6, and arc-shaped sealing gaskets 63 are provided at both ends of the slurry channel 62.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 7-9The front panel 2 is provided with a plurality of sampling holes 21, a paddle hole 22 is provided next to the sampling hole 21, a sealing gasket is provided in the sampling hole 21, a protruding cavity 20 is provided inside the front panel 2, a plurality of sampling hole switch pieces 23 are installed in the cavity 20, the bottom of the sampling hole switch piece 23 is opened, and a paddle 24 is provided on the side. The paddle 24 is multi-faceted, placed in the paddle hole 22, and protrudes from the surface of the front panel 2, and can be manually moved up and down, such as Figure 10 As shown, push it downward and the sampling hole 21 is closed; Figure 11 As shown, by moving upward, the sampling hole 21 is in an open state.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 12-13 The back of the base 1 is provided with a plurality of sampling bottle mounting holes 14 for mounting the sampling bottles 4. The positions of the sampling bottle mounting holes 14 correspond to the positions of the sampling holes 21. The slurry channel 62 inside the guide plate 6 connects the sampling bottle mounting holes 14 and the sampling holes 21. The direction of the slurry channel 62 can be adjusted by manually rotating the knob 51 to control the closing and opening of the slurry channel 62. Figure 14 As shown, the slurry channel 62 is in a closed state; Figure 15 As shown, the slurry channel 62 is in an open state.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 16-17 The sampling bottle 4 is provided with a sampling bottle sealing ring 41 and a sampling bottle convex ring 42 at the bottle mouth. The sampling bottle 4 is soft or hard. When it is soft, pinch the bottle body of the sampling bottle 4 to exhaust the air during installation, so that the internal negative pressure state is achieved and then it is installed in the sampling bottle installation hole 14; when it is hard, a one-way air extraction valve needs to be installed on the bottle body of the sampling bottle 4. First, install the sampling bottle 4 in the sampling bottle installation hole 14, and then extract air from the one-way valve to form a negative pressure, and use the negative pressure to absorb the slurry.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 18 , multiple sampling bottles 4 are distributed from top to bottom. According to different needs, devices with different heights and different sampling depths can be customized. The same device can also be used to perform combined sampling of multiple depths at one time.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 19 The sealing cover 3 is installed on the outside of the sampling bottle 4. The side and bottom of the sealing cover 3 are buckled with the base 1. A transparent observation window 31 is provided on the top of the sealing cover 3 to observe the sampling situation.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 20The bottom of the base 1 is evenly distributed with a hemispherical protrusion array 15, which not only ensures that the device can be placed flat on the bottom of the container, but also prevents the device from completely fitting with the bottom of the slurry container, and does not generate negative pressure to make it difficult to remove.

[0028] The entire device is made of corrosion-resistant materials and is sturdy and durable. After assembly, the surface of the part that penetrates into the slurry is flat, smooth, and narrow and long. When placed, it can avoid the influence of slurry disturbance on sampling as much as possible, ensuring reliable sampling.

[0029] After sampling is completed, the equipment is easy to disassemble and clean. No additional tools are required and it can be completely disassembled and cleaned. Maintenance is convenient, and when parts are damaged or missing, they can be easily replaced and repaired.

[0030] The specific operating steps are as follows: Determine the sampling depth requirements and complete the assembly of the device as required. Before installing the sampling bottle, pay attention to rotating the knob to ensure that the slurry channel of the guide plate is closed, open the sampling holes that need to be used on the front panel, close the sampling holes that do not need to be used, and check whether the installation of the device is complete; after the sampling bottle is in a negative pressure state, slowly and vertically sink the device into the slurry and place it steadily on the bottom of the container; after the slurry stabilizes, rotate the knob to open the guide plate channel to start sampling, and observe from the top of the sealing cover whether the sample is completely absorbed. After completion, rotate the knob to close the slurry channel of the guide plate; use the pull ring to slowly lift the device to a reasonable area for placement, clean the residue on the surface of the device, open the sealing cover, remove the sampling bottle, and store the sample in a reasonable area; disassemble the remaining device parts, clean, dry and check whether the parts are intact.
