Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water quality monitoring. More particularly, the present application relates to a lake self-sedimentation layered water sampling device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lake water bodies have obvious stratification characteristics due to differences in temperature, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and other factors. For example, the water quality parameters of surface water and bottom water may differ significantly, and accurate sampling of key water layers such as the thermocline and eutrophication layer is crucial for ecological monitoring. This requires the sampling device to accurately control the sampling depth and avoid cross-contamination of samples from different water layers.
[0003] Existing layered water sampling devices have obvious limitations in adapting to the stratification characteristics of lakes: first, the depth control accuracy is insufficient. Traditional devices rely on a single parameter of rope length to determine the depth, and the sampling trigger and stop rely on manual observation. The stretching and contraction of the rope under water flow impact and the deviation of the sampling assembly under the influence of undercurrent are not considered, resulting in a deviation of the actual sampling depth from the target depth often exceeding 10%, making it difficult to capture the water quality characteristics of fine water layers such as the thermocline. Second, the sample isolation is poor. Most devices use a single-cavity sampling container, which requires sequential operation from the surface to the deep layer when stratified sampling. Upper water samples are easily left and mixed into lower samples, leading to distorted data. Third, the self-sedimentation control is extensive. The sedimentation of existing devices is mostly free sedimentation (only relying on the natural sinking of the counterweight) or pure mechanical forced lowering. The former is easily deviated from the vertical path under the disturbance of water flow, and the latter is difficult to adapt to the change of water flow resistance at different depths, resulting in poor sedimentation stability. These problems make it difficult for existing technology to meet the high-precision and low-pollution sampling needs of stratified water quality in lakes. SUMMARY

[0024] Preferably, in step six, if the tension sensor detects that the tension of the pull rope exceeds 1.5×M×g, control the elastic support to elongate, so that the driven buffer roller moves to a position 0.1-0.3 meters away from the driving rope roller, continuously monitor the tension sensor, and stop the elastic support elongation when the tension returns to the range of 0.8×M×g to 1.2×M×g.
[0025] Preferably, after obtaining Δm in step five, it further includes:

[0042] Preferably, the internal partition of the counterweight tank is provided with a magneto-rheological fluid tank, which is filled with magneto-rheological fluid, and the real-time viscosity η of which satisfies: η=η0+αI 2 , wherein η0 is the initial viscosity, and the viscosity coefficient α=0.2-0.5 Pa·s,
[0043] During the hovering in step nine, the horizontal displacement data of the device are collected in real time through the distance measuring probe, and the horizontal displacement change rate v h per unit time is calculated. h Compare v with a preset threshold value:
[0044] When v h ≥ 0.1 m / s, it is determined as a strong current environment, a first current value I1 is input to the magnetorheological fluid tank, the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid is increased, and the weight of the device is increased to a first preset value M1;
[0045] When 0.02 m / s≤v h ≤0.1 m / s, it is determined as a medium current environment, a second current value I2 is input, the weight is maintained at a second preset value M2, I2
[0046] When v h < 0.02 m / s, it is determined as a still water environment, a third current value I3 is input, the weight is reduced to a third preset value M3, I3
[0047] During the lifting of the device, the current value is dynamically adjusted according to the real-time v h , so that the weight matches the current intensity;
[0048] Combined with the tension sensor data F, when F > 1.2 x M x g, the elastic support of the driven buffer roller is synchronously started to be elongated, and the buffer pull rope tension is elongated.

[0053] The historical data is preprocessed to construct a data set S = {(X1,Y1), (X2,Y2),..., (X n ,Y n )}, wherein X is an environmental parameter vector, and Y is a control parameter vector;
[0054] A prediction model of environmental parameters and control parameters is established by using multiple linear regression:
[0055] Y = f(X) = β0+β1X1+β2X2+...+β m X m +ε,
[0056] wherein β0-β m are coefficients, and ε is an error term,
[0057] Before a new sampling operation, input real-time environmental parameter X' into the model, and output the model-predicted control parameter Y';
[0058] During sampling, control the device using control parameter Y', and update dataset S after completion, periodically retrain the model to optimize prediction accuracy.

[0069] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a lake self-sedimentation layered water sampling device, which can solve the problems of low depth control precision, easy pollution of sampling and lack of automatic cooperative control of the existing device. The device comprises:
[0070] A bearing table 1 floats on the water surface and is a buoyant structure, which can adopt high-density foam or a hollow metal frame to ensure stable floating on the water surface. A main control box 2 is fixed in the middle of the bearing table 1 and is assembled at the center position of the bearing table 1 and fixed with the bearing table 1 by bolts. A main control module and a power supply unit are integrated in the main control box 2. The main control module can adopt a single-chip microcomputer, and the power supply unit can adopt a lithium battery. An antenna 3 for receiving instructions is arranged at the top of the main control box 2 and connected with the main control module through an interface.
[0071] The rope control lifting assembly is installed at the bottom of the main control box 2, and comprises a power unit, a rope winding and unwinding unit and a depth detection unit. The power unit is a speed regulating motor with self-locking function, which can accurately control the winding and unwinding of the rope. The rope winding and unwinding unit comprises a driving winding roller, which is connected with the output shaft of the speed regulating motor through a shaft coupling and is assembled at the middle position of the bottom of the main control box 2. The depth detection unit comprises a number of turns meter arranged on the shaft end of the driving winding roller and a vertical downward distance measuring probe. The number of turns meter can adopt a rotary encoder, and the distance measuring probe can adopt an ultrasonic distance measuring module and is assembled at the edge of the bottom of the main control box 2. One end of the rope is fixed on the driving winding roller, and the other end is connected with the self-sedimentation water sampling assembly.
[0072] The self-sedimentation water sampling assembly is connected with the rope control lifting assembly through the rope winding and unwinding unit. The self-sedimentation water sampling assembly comprises a water sampling cylinder 4 which is a substantially cylindrical tubular structure. The inside of the water sampling cylinder 4 is provided with a plurality of partitions, which divide the water sampling cylinder 4 into a plurality of water sample storage cavities arranged independently from top to bottom. A counterweight chamber is arranged below the lowermost water sample storage cavity, i.e. at the lowermost end of the water sampling cylinder 4. The counterweight chamber is provided with replaceable counterweight members, such as lead blocks (weight 5-10 kg, adjusted according to water depth). The side wall of the water sample storage cavity is provided with a water inlet, a sealing baffle hinged to the water inlet, an elastic reset member connecting the sealing baffle and the inner wall of the water sampling cylinder 4, and an electrically controlled driving member fixed to the outside of the water inlet. The sealing baffle is matched with the water inlet. The elastic reset member can adopt a spring, and the electrically controlled driving member can adopt an electromagnetic push rod corresponding to the sealing baffle.
[0073] The main control module is electrically connected with the speed regulating motor, the tension sensor, the number of turns meter, the distance measuring probe and the electrically controlled driving member. The main control module sinks the self-sedimentation water sampling assembly to the deepest target depth through the rope control lifting assembly. When the depth detection unit confirms the arrival, the electrically controlled driving member corresponding to the water inlet is triggered to open. After sampling is completed, the self-sedimentation water sampling assembly is lifted to the next target depth, and the above process is repeated.
[0074] During operation, the main control module controls the speed regulating motor to release the rope, and the self-sedimentation water sampling assembly is sunk. After the depth is confirmed by the number of turns meter and the distance measuring probe, the electrically controlled driving member pushes open the sealing baffle to take water. After completion, the sealing baffle is reset and the self-sedimentation water sampling assembly is lifted. The above operation is repeated to realize stratified sampling. The device can stably float on the water surface, accurately control sampling at different depths, and is suitable for the collection of stratified water samples in lakes.
[0075] In the above technical solution, the bearing table 1 provides a stable floating foundation, the rope control lifting assembly improves the depth control accuracy by combining double depth detection (rope length + distance measuring probe), realizes accurate and independent collection of water samples at different depths, the multiple independent chambers of the self-sedimentation water sampling assembly avoid sample contamination, and the components are coordinated by the main control module to realize automatic stratified sampling, thereby improving the operation efficiency and sampling reliability.
[0076] The tension of the pull rope is prone to sudden change due to water flow impact and equipment shaking during lifting, which may cause the pull rope to break or the stability of the sampling assembly to decrease. In another technical solution, the pull rope winding and unwinding unit further comprises a driven buffer roller, which is arranged on one side of the driving winding roller through an elastic support, the elastic support is fixed on the rack of the bearing table 1 through bolts, is parallel to the axis of the driving winding roller, and after the pull rope is led out from the driving winding roller, the pull rope can naturally pass through the gap between the driving winding roller and the driven buffer roller. A tension sensor is arranged on the elastic support, and a spring fixed on the elastic support is connected with the support base. When the tension sensor detects that the tension of the pull rope exceeds a preset threshold, for example, 80% of the safe bearing capacity of the pull rope, a signal is sent to the master control module, the master control module controls the driving part of the elastic support to act through a relay, the master control module controls the elastic support to elongate, and the driven buffer roller moves away from the driving winding roller to increase the distance between the two, so as to buffer the tension. The driven buffer roller cooperates with the elastic support to buffer the tension by adjusting the distance when the tension exceeds the threshold, the tension sensor monitors and triggers the adjustment in real time, reduces the risk of pull rope wear and breakage, reduces the impact of tension fluctuation on the sampling assembly, ensures the stability during lifting, and adapts to complex water environment.
[0077] The amount of water sample collected cannot be accurately judged during sampling, which is prone to overfilling or insufficient collection, affecting the effectiveness of the sample and the coherence of subsequent operations. In another technical solution, the water sample storage cavity is provided with a liquid level sensor, and the detection range covers the bottom to the top of the water sample storage cavity. The liquid level sensor is electrically connected with the master control module, and the water level in the water sample storage cavity is monitored in real time. When the liquid level sensor detects that the water level in the cavity reaches 90% of the volume, the master control module controls the corresponding electrically controlled driving part to reset, drives the sealing baffle to close the water inlet, and simultaneously triggers the rope-controlled lifting assembly to perform a lifting action, so as to avoid sample overflow and pollution, ensure sufficient collection, and ensure sampling efficiency and sample integrity.
[0078] Due to the lack of standardized procedures for stratified sampling, the disorder of depth sequence may easily lead to sample pollution, and the operation of depth calibration, sampling triggering and other links is arbitrary, which affects the sampling accuracy and consistency. The present application provides a method for stratified sampling of lake self-settling water, which applies the device, and the method comprises:
[0079] Step one, float the bearing table 1 in the target water area through the anchor rope to fix the position, avoid large drift with the water flow, and the master control module receives the stratified sampling depth sequence instruction, which is arranged in the order from bottom to top, the interval between adjacent depths is 1-2 meters, and the deepest target depth can be set according to the actual water depth of the lake, such as 5-30 meters;
[0080] Step two, start the speed regulating motor, release the pull rope to make the self-sinking water sampling assembly sink to the deepest target depth, obtain the pull rope release length L through the number of turns meter, obtain the real-time water depth measurement value D through the distance measuring probe, and the data is transmitted to the main control module in real time, when the absolute value of the difference between L and D is ≤0.05xD, the main control module confirms that the deepest target depth is reached;
[0081] Step three, the main control module only triggers the water sample storage cavity corresponding to the current target depth to act, that is, the electric control driving part of the water sample storage cavity corresponding to the current target depth is started to make the sealing baffle open the water inlet;
[0082] Step four, the main control module monitors the water level in the cavity through the liquid level sensor, and the liquid level sensor calculates the new water sample volume and mass through the water level height, and when the water level reaches 90% of the cavity volume, the current electric control driving part is closed to reset the sealing baffle, and the speed regulating motor is started to lift the water sampling cylinder 4;
[0083] Step five, during the lifting process, the main control module calculates the new water sample mass Δm according to the liquid level sensor data, combines the initial mass m0 of the counterweight, the weight m1 of the water sampling cylinder 4, and updates the total mass M of the device = m0+Δm+m1;
[0084] Step six, based on the updated M, the speed regulating motor is controlled to run at a constant output power, and the pull rope tension F is adjusted to meet:
[0085] 0.8×M×g≤F≤1.2×M×g, wherein g is the acceleration of gravity 9.8 m / s 2 ;
[0086] Step seven, continuously monitor the water depth change through the distance measuring probe, and stop lifting when the device reaches the adjacent upper target depth;
[0087] Step eight, repeat steps three to seven until all target depth sampling is completed;
[0088] Step nine, when the device is lifted from the nth layer to the n-1 layer, the main control module outputs an instruction to close the n-layer sealing baffle through the relay, and detects the state of all sealing baffles below the n-layer to ensure complete closure, ensure that the lower water sample does not leak, and hover at 0.3-0.8 meters above the target depth, the current depth flow rate can be obtained through the flow rate sensor assembled on the outside of the water sampling cylinder 4, and the hovering time ;
[0089] Step ten, continuously collect W sets of displacement data through the distance measuring probe, W≥10, calculate the average displacement rate, and when the distance measuring probe detects that the displacement rate is ≤5 mm / s, sink to the target depth.
[0090] In the above technical solution, the bearing table 1 receives the depth sequence after being fixed, first sinks the self-sinking water sampling assembly to the deepest target depth, lifts after the water level is full, synchronously updates the total mass and controls the tension; lifts to hover above the upper target depth, sinks for sampling after the displacement is stable, and repeats the operation until completion. The depth sequence from bottom to top avoids pollution from the upper layer to the lower layer, the double parameters (rope length + water depth) calibrate the depth, the liquid level triggers the closing and lifting, forms a standardized process, ensures the independence and accuracy of samples at each depth, and improves the standardization and reliability of layered sampling.
[0091] When the tension of the pull rope suddenly exceeds the limit (such as a dark current impact), there is a lack of effective buffer mechanism, which may cause damage to the equipment or interruption of sampling. In another technical solution, in step six, when the pull rope is lifted, the tension sensor continuously monitors the tension and transmits data to the main control module. If factors such as dark current impact cause the tension sensor to detect that the tension of the pull rope exceeds 1.5×M×g, the driven buffer roller spacing adjustment is triggered, the tension is reduced to a safe range through physical buffering, and then the elastic support is controlled by a miniature electric push rod to extend, so that the driven buffer roller moves to a position 0.1-0.3 meters away from the driving winding roller. The tension sensor is continuously monitored, the tension gradually decreases, and when the tension returns to the range of 0.8×M×g to 1.2×M×g, the extension of the elastic support is stopped. The rapid buffer tension mutation avoids overloading and damage to the pull rope, avoids interruption of sampling due to excessive tension of the equipment, and ensures the safety of the equipment and the continuity of sampling.
[0092] The stretching and contraction of the rope body due to tension can easily cause deviation in depth measurement, affecting the accuracy of sampling depth. In another technical solution, after obtaining Δm in step five, it further includes:
[0093] Calculate the compensation value of the stretching and contraction of the rope body , where E is the elastic modulus of the rope body 190-210 GPa, and A is the cross-sectional area of the rope body;
[0094] Correct the reading of the number of turns meter to L’ = L+ΔL;
[0095] Obtain the current actual depth D’ through the ranging probe;
[0096] If |L’-D’|>0.03×D’, control the speed regulating motor to release the rope body to make the device sink 3-5 meters, and lift the device again until |L’-D’|≤0.03×D’;
[0097] Set the corrected L’ as the new depth reference value.
[0098] After obtaining Δm, the host module automatically calls real-time parameters (F, M, L, E, A) to calculate ΔL, combines with the actual water depth calibration, corrects the measurement deviation through the rope body expansion and contraction compensation, corrects L of the number of turns meter to L', and simultaneously measures the actual water depth D' by the ranging probe. The host module compares the difference between |L'-D'| and 0.03xD', controls the device to sink and lift, continuously corrects L' and monitors the difference, reduces the depth error caused by the tension of the rope body, and stops until the standard is reached.
[0099] In the above technical solution, the length of the pull rope is corrected by the rope body expansion and contraction compensation formula, and the actual water depth calibration is combined with the ranging probe to ensure that the depth measurement deviation is less than or equal to 0.03xD', which improves the depth control accuracy and adapts to the measurement error caused by the physical characteristics of the rope body.
[0100] When the added water sample causes the imbalance of the counterweight, the lifting speed is fixed, which can easily cause tension fluctuation, affecting the stability of the device and the sampling efficiency. In another technical solution, after step five, the water level height is obtained by the liquid level sensor of the water sample storage cavity, the added water sample volume is calculated by combining the cross-sectional area of the cavity, and the counterweight imbalance degree ζ is calculated ;
[0101] When the imbalance occurs, the device stability is enhanced by structural adjustment. If ζ>0.2, the host module controls the elastic support to elongate, and the elastic support moves the driven buffer roller to a position 0.3 meters away from the driving winding roller.
[0102] The initial lifting speed v0 is set to 0.3 m / s.
[0103] When the tension sensor detects that F≤1.1×M×g, the lifting speed is adjusted to ;
[0104] If ζ≤0.2, the driven buffer roller remains in the initial position (no adjustment is needed), and is directly set.
[0105] In the above technical solution, when the device is caused by the added water sample, the imbalance state is judged by the counterweight imbalance degree, the initial lifting speed and the acceleration condition are adjusted accordingly, the tension stability and the lifting efficiency are balanced, and the device shaking or tension overrun caused by the imbalance is avoided.
[0106] When the flow field is unstable, sinking sampling can easily cause depth deviation due to shaking, affecting the sampling accuracy. In another technical solution, during hovering in step nine, W sets of displacement data are continuously obtained by the ranging probe, W≥10, and the influence of accidental fluctuation is reduced by multiple measurements.
[0107] The displacement standard deviation σ is calculated , and the smaller σ is, the smoother the displacement fluctuation is, where d is the displacement data and μ is the displacement mean.
[0108] If σ≤2 mm, it is determined that the displacement fluctuation is small during hovering and the flow field is stable, and the sinking operation is performed;
[0109] If σ>2 mm, it is determined that the device is still disturbed by the water flow. Wait for the water flow disturbance to weaken naturally, give the device enough time to adapt to the flow field changes, extend the hovering time to t' = 1.5×t, and retest until σ≤2 mm;
[0110] During the sinking process, the device is in motion and the flow field may be locally disturbed. Increasing the sampling frequency of the ranging probe to 50 Hz can track subtle changes in depth in real time, allowing the main control module to accurately grasp the device's position.
[0111] When the real-time water depth value reaches 98-102% of the target depth, the electronically controlled drive is triggered to open.
[0112] In the above technical solution, the flow field stability is judged by the displacement standard deviation. When it is unstable, the hovering is extended and re-tested. When sinking, the sampling frequency is increased to ensure that sampling is carried out in a stable flow field state and reduce the impact of water flow disturbance on depth accuracy.
[0113] It is difficult to achieve a balanced balance between stability and energy consumption when fixing the counterweight in an undercurrent environment. It is prone to shaking in strong undercurrents and consumes too much energy in static water areas. In another technical solution, a magnetorheological fluid tank is separated from the counterweight cabin, with a volume of 0.5-1 L, and is filled with magnetorheological fluid. The viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid can be adjusted steplessly by current. The current regulating device can use a DC current controller (output current 0-5A), which is installed in the main control box 2 and connected to the electromagnetic coil of the magnetorheological fluid tank through a wire. The real-time viscosity η changes with the current input current I. The real-time viscosity η and the input current I satisfy: η = η0+αI 2 , where η0 initial viscosity, η0 = 0.1-0.3 Pa·s, viscosity coefficient α = 0.2-0.5 Pa·s,
[0114] During the hovering period in step nine, the horizontal displacement data of the device is collected in real time by the ranging probe, and the horizontal displacement data is continuously collected. h The horizontal displacement change rate v per unit time is calculated by calculating the difference between two adjacent groups of displacements / time intervals. h , v h Compared with the preset threshold, set the three-level threshold: v h >0.1 m / s (strong undercurrent), 0.02m / s≤v h ≤0.1m / s (medium flow rate), v h <0.02m / s (still water environment):
[0115] When v hWhen the velocity is greater than 0.1 m / s, it is determined to be a strong undercurrent environment. In the case of strong undercurrent, high viscosity (high counterweight) is used to resist the impact. A first current value I1 is input into the magnetorheological fluid tank to increase the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid. The counterweight of the device is increased to the first preset value M1 to avoid shaking.
[0116] When 0.02 m / s≤v h When the flow rate is ≤0.1 m / s, it is determined to be a medium flow environment, and the second current value I2 is input to maintain the counterweight at the second preset value M2, balancing stability and energy consumption, I2<I1, M2<M1;
[0117] When v h When the speed is less than 0.02 m / s, it is determined to be a still water environment. In the still water area, low viscosity (low counterweight) is used to reduce the lifting load. The third current value I3 is input to reduce the counterweight to the third preset value M3 to reduce energy consumption during lifting. I3<I2, M3<M2;
[0118] During the lifting process of the device, according to the real-time v h Dynamically adjust the current value to match the counterweight with the dark current intensity;
[0119] Combined with the tension sensor data F, when F>1.2×M×g, the elastic bracket of the driven buffer roller is synchronously started to extend to buffer the tension of the pull rope.
[0120] In the above technical solution, the water flow during the lifting process may be more complicated (such as the existence of vertical undercurrent). The intensity of the undercurrent is judged by the rate of change of horizontal displacement. Dynamic adjustment of the current can ensure that the counterweight always adapts to the real-time water flow. When the undercurrent is strong, the counterweight is increased to ensure stability. When the water area is still, the counterweight is reduced to reduce energy consumption. The tension buffering and counterweight adjustment are coordinated to reduce the source of shaking through the counterweight and buffer the residual tension through the bracket to adapt to the complex water flow environment.
[0121] Lakes require regular sampling, and water environment parameters (such as water flow velocity and water temperature stratification depth in different seasons) change periodically. Fixed control parameters have poor adaptability and require repeated manual debugging, making intelligent sampling difficult. In another technical solution, the following data is collected and stored during each sampling process:
[0122] Environmental parameters: target depth D, water velocity v, turbidity T, pH value, dissolved oxygen DO, directly reflect the real-time status of lake waters and are periodic;
[0123] Equipment parameters: rope tension F, lifting speed v1, hovering time t, sampling completion time t s , the control parameters of the actual operation of the equipment;
[0124] Result parameters: sampling accuracy δ, sample contamination rate ρ, , , V 总The total volume of the sample collected by the sampler, after sampling, the water quality parameters (such as actual water temperature, actual turbidity) of the sample are detected by the micro sensor (such as water temperature sensor, turbidity sensor) built in the sample container, if the deviation exceeds the threshold value, it is determined that the part of the sample is contaminated water, and the volume V of the contaminated water is measured by the sample volume sensor 污 , verify the validity of the control parameters, if the corresponding δ of a group of parameters is small and the corresponding ρ is low, it means that the parameters adapt to the corresponding environment, and can be used as high-quality samples for model training;
[0125] The historical data is preprocessed to construct a data set S = {(X1,Y1), (X2,Y2),..., (X n ,Y n )}, wherein X is an environmental parameter vector, X1, X2,..., X n represent target depth D, water flow velocity v, turbidity T, pH value, dissolved oxygen DO, etc., Y is a control parameter vector, Y1, Y2,..., Y n represent the tension of the pull rope F, the lifting speed v1, the hovering time t, etc.
[0126] Multiple linear regression can quantify the influence of multiple environmental parameters on control parameters, environmental parameters X as input, reflecting the objective conditions at the time of sampling, control parameters Y as output, are operating quantities adjusted according to environmental conditions, the purpose is to achieve high sampling accuracy and low sample pollution rate in different environments, thereby establishing the correlation model between the two, and using multiple linear regression to establish a prediction model of environmental parameters and control parameters:
[0127] Y = f(X) = β0+β1X1+β2X2+...+β m X m +ε,
[0128] Where β0-β m are coefficients, and ε is an error term,
[0129] The coefficients β0-β m are iteratively optimized through historical data, and before new sampling work, real-time environmental parameters X' are input into the model, and the control parameters Y' predicted by the model are output.
[0130] When performing sampling, the control parameters Y' are used to control the device, and the data set S is updated after completion, and the model is periodically retrained to optimize the prediction accuracy.
[0131] In the technical scheme, the environment and control parameter model is constructed through historical data, periodic change rules of the water area can be learned, optimized parameters are output based on real-time environment parameters when new sampling is performed, and the model is dynamically updated, adaptive control of the same water area and adaptive scene application of different water areas are realized, manual intervention is reduced, and intelligent level is improved.
