[0038] The connecting rod locking assembly 4 has a self-locking function, which realizes the stable locking of the sample core tubes 3 by the locking plate 5.

[0039] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, the connecting rod locking assembly 4 includes an outer peripheral fixed support frame 41, a moving support frame 42, two connecting rods A 43, two connecting rods B 44, two connecting rods C 45 and a slide rod 46.

[0044] The base plate 1 support rod is provided with a boss structure at different positions in the height direction, which is used for limiting the whole of the moving plate 6 and the locking plate 5. The support rod around the base plate 1, the moving plate 6 and the locking plate 5 form a moving pair, and the whole of the moving plate 6 and the locking plate 5 can move along the base plate support rod and be limited by the boss structure on the base plate support rod, so that the locking of the sample coring tube 3 at different height positions is realized.

In the working process, the two connecting rod locking assemblies 4 jointly realize the up-down movement locking of the locking plate 5, and the two connecting rod locking assemblies 4 increase the reliability of the locking process.

[0046] The working principle of the present application is as follows:

[0047] After the sample coring tube 3 is placed according to the position of the tube cavity 2 on the base plate 1, the connecting rod locking assembly 4 moves to drive the locking plate 5 to move up and down, so that the clamping ring structure on the moving plate 6 clamps the sample coring tube 3 to realize the simultaneous locking and fixing of all the sample coring tubes 3. Further, the whole of the moving plate 6 and the locking plate 5 moves up and down along the support rod around the base plate 1 to realize the locking and fixing of the sample coring tube 3 at multiple positions up and down.

[0048] As shown in Figure 3 , the working process of the present application is as follows:

[0049] The initial state of the sample packaging device is a locking state, which ensures that the sample coring tube 3 is in a locked state during the launch process of the extraterrestrial body sampling task to ensure the locking stiffness and strength. After landing, the connecting rod locking assembly 4 is unlocked to drive the locking plate 5 to move downward with the locking gap as the stroke to loosen the clamping ring structure on the moving plate 6, thereby releasing the sample coring tube 3. At this time, the sample coring tube 3 can be taken out and used to collect the sample. After the sample collection is completed, the sample coring tube 3 is placed back into the sample packaging device, the locking plate 5 and the moving plate 6 are moved to the top end of the sample packaging device, and the locking plate 5 is moved upward by the movement of the connecting rod locking assembly 4 to lock the clamping ring structure on the moving plate, thereby simultaneously locking and fixing all the sample coring tubes 3.
