Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of coal mine slope sampling devices, specifically a sampling device for weak layers of open-pit coal mine slopes. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for coal, major open-pit coal mines have accelerated their production pace to expand capacity. The earlier the end slopes are exposed, the more frequent the research on these slopes becomes. This process requires extensive slope surveys. Because the top and bottom of coal-bearing strata in open-pit coal mines often contain weak layers that are extremely detrimental to the slopes, the research on these weak layers has also intensified, increasing the workload of sampling. Sampling devices typically involve a drive assembly that propels a drill rod and sampling tube downwards into the area where samples are to be collected. The sampling tube then collects the samples. This type of sampling device is widely used, particularly in sampling weak-layer areas of open-pit coal mine slopes, thus facilitating slope surveys and research.
[0003] A search revealed that CN202122778195.0 provides a weak layer sampling device for open-pit coal mine slopes. The device is compatible with existing slope engineering survey equipment. During sampling, a vertical pressing method is used, which solves the problems of high difficulty and low success rate of existing weak layer sampling technology in slope engineering survey drilling weak layer sampling. This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is easy to disassemble.
[0004] According to the literature, squeezing the sample into the sampling tube leaves the bottom of the tube unprotected, which can easily cause the sample to leak out, resulting in insufficient sampling and requiring multiple samplings, thus affecting the sampling process. After sampling, the sample needs to be manually removed from the sampling tube by tapping. This method can easily cause the sample to leak out in pieces, and the tapping process needs to be repeated multiple times. In addition, some samples may stick to the tube wall and need to be cleaned again before they can be used, which affects the sampling efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a slope weak layer sampling device for open-pit coal mines. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a sampling device for weak layers of slopes in open-pit coal mines. This device has the advantages of preventing samples from leaking out of the sampling tube, facilitating the removal of samples from inside the sampling tube, and preventing samples from sticking to the tube wall, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the drill rod is provided with a connecting groove, and a collar is sleeved inside the connecting groove. The upper and lower surfaces of the collar are respectively fitted with the upper end of the connector and the top of the connecting groove. The lower end of the drill rod is rotatably sleeved with the connecting ring. A connecting wing plate is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the sampling cylinder. The connecting wing plate is provided with two sets of grooves. The connecting ring and the collar are provided with grooves. The grooves on the connecting wing plate correspond to the upper and lower positions of the grooves on the connecting ring and the collar, and the internal threads of the grooves are connected with mounting bolts.
[0011] Preferably, the side block has an insertion groove one on its outer side, the lower surface of the limiting ring has an insertion groove two, and the outer side of the limiting ring is in contact with the side wall of the sample storage chamber.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This open-pit coal mine utilizes a slope weak layer sampling device. During sampling, the sampling cylinder enters the sampling position along with the drill rod. The drill rod drives the rotating rod inside the sampling cylinder to rotate, and the bottom of the rotating rod breaks up the sample from the target layer. The broken sample is then conveyed upwards along the rotating rod via a conveying thread until the rotating rod enters the sample storage chamber. After a certain amount is input, the drill rod drives the sampling cylinder away from the sampling position. At this point, the connection between the limiting ring and the inner cylinder is released. A tool is inserted into the insertion slot on the side block connected to the movable pressure block. By pressing down on the movable pressure block, the limiting block connected to the limiting ring moves downwards along the movable slot. Simultaneously, the sample inside the sample storage chamber is pushed out of the sample storage chamber for collection. This structure effectively collects samples and prevents the sample from detaching from the sampling device after sampling, ensuring a high success rate. Furthermore, it allows for rapid separation of the sample from the sampling device after sampling, eliminating the need for manual collection by tapping, thus improving the efficiency of the entire sampling process. It also removes adhering samples from the inner wall of the sample storage chamber.
[0017] This type of open-pit coal mine slope weak layer sampling device is installed by fitting a collar onto the outside of the connecting slot. The connector is installed at the lower end of the drill rod via a threaded connection to limit the collar. Then, the square butt joint connected to the upper end of the rotating rod inside the sampling cylinder is inserted into the square butt groove at the lower end of the connector. The inner side of the connecting wing plate connected to the outer edge of the sampling cylinder fits against the outside of the drill rod, connecting ring, connector, and collar. At the same time, the slots on the connecting wing plate correspond to the slots on the collar and connecting ring, and are installed with mounting bolts, thus completing the installation of the sampling cylinder. This structure can effectively install the sampling cylinder on the drill rod, and the installation method is simple and convenient, facilitating manual operation. It also ensures that the rotating rod can rotate normally with the drill rod through the connector, ensuring that the sampling device can perform sampling operations normally.

[0029] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] The stability of open-pit coal mine slopes directly affects the safety of mining operations. The weakest layer of the slope is a relatively weak part of the slope structure, and its geotechnical properties have a crucial impact on the overall stability of the slope. By sampling the weak layer, the physical and mechanical parameters of the weak layer, such as the internal friction angle, cohesion, and unit weight, can be accurately analyzed. These parameters are important bases for slope stability calculations and assessments. Using professional calculation models, such as the limit equilibrium method and numerical analysis, the stability state of the slope under different working conditions can be predicted, potential landslides and collapses can be detected in advance, and targeted reinforcement measures can be taken, such as slope reduction, retaining wall support, and drainage system optimization, effectively ensuring the safety of mining personnel and equipment.
[0031] Existing methods for sampling using drill rods and sampling tubes mostly involve squeezing the sample into the tube, leaving the bottom of the tube unprotected. This can easily cause the sample to leak out, resulting in insufficient sampling. Furthermore, after sampling, the sample needs to be manually removed from the tube by tapping. This method can easily cause the sample to leak out in small pieces, and the tapping process needs to be repeated multiple times.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A sampling device for weak slope layers in open-pit coal mines includes a drill rod 1 and a sampling cylinder 2.

A movable pressure block 230 is attached to the lower surface of the fixed ring 280. A slot is opened on the inner side of the movable pressure block 230, and the inside of the slot is movably connected to the outer surface of the L-shaped connecting block 261. A side block 231 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the movable pressure block 230. The outer surface of the side block 231 is movably connected to the inside of the movable groove 250.

A limit long block 242 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating round block 241. The outer surface of the limit long block 242 is movably connected to the inside of the movable groove 250. The upper end of the limit long block 242 is fitted together with the lower surface of the side block 231. A connector 3 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the drill rod 1. A sampling cylinder 2 is fitted together with the lower end of the connector 3. A square butt joint 220 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating rod 221. A square butt groove 310 is opened at the lower end of the connector 3. The outer surface of the square butt joint 220 is inserted into the inside of the square butt groove 310.
[0035] During sampling, the sampling cylinder 2 enters the sampling position along with the drill rod 1. The drill rod 1 drives the rotating rod 221 inside the sampling cylinder 2 to rotate. The bottom of the rotating rod 221 breaks the sample in the target layer. The broken sample is then conveyed upward along the rotating rod 221 via the conveying thread 222 until the rotating rod 221 enters the sample storage chamber 270. After a certain amount is input, the drill rod 1 drives the sampling cylinder 2 to leave the sampling position. By pressing down the movable pressure block 230, the limiting block 242 connected to the limiting ring 240 moves downward along the movable groove 250. At the same time, the sample inside the sample storage chamber 270 is pushed out of the sample storage chamber 270 and can be collected.

The slots on the connecting wing plate 210 correspond to the upper and lower positions of the slots on the connecting ring 110 and the collar 4. The internal threads of the slots are connected with mounting bolts 211.
[0037] When installing the whole device, the sampling cylinder 2 is first assembled by sliding the movable pressure block 230 into the sample storage chamber 270. At this time, the side block 231 connected to the outside of the movable pressure block 230 slides inside the movable groove 250 until the upper surface of the movable pressure block 230 is in contact with the lower surface of the fixed ring 280. Then, the limiting ring 240 is threaded to the lower outer surface of the inner cylinder 260 to block the lower opening of the sample storage chamber 270. The outer surface of the limiting ring 240 is connected to the limiting long block 242 connected to the rotating round block 241 inside the movable groove 250. The upper end of the movable groove 250 abuts against the lower surface of the side block 231. At this time, the assembly of the internal structure of the sampling cylinder 2 is completed.

The connector 3 is installed at the lower end of the drill rod 1 by means of threaded connection to limit the collar 4.

The inner side of the connecting wing plate 210 connected to the outer edge of the sampling cylinder 2 is attached to the outside of the drill rod 1, the connecting ring 110, the connector 3 and the collar 4.
