[0021] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The expansion section 113 is internally provided with an expansion groove 1131 for guiding the movement of the piston 122; The inner diameter of the expansion groove 1131 is greater than the inner diameter of the buoy body 111, for reducing the overall length of the buoy body 111.
[0022] The upper end of the top plate 112 and located outside the ring-shaped air bag 126 is fixedly connected with a limiting frame 127 at equal angles, for limiting the ring-shaped air bag 126.
[0023] As an improvement, as shown in Figures 3-4 , Figures 6-7 The sampling detection unit 2 further comprises: A support 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the buoy body 111 and used for supporting the lower end of a collecting tube 22, and a rib plate 211 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support 21 and located between the collecting tube 22 and the buoy body 111; A lifting shaft 23 is slidingly inserted into the collecting tube 22, and the upper end of the lifting shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the piston 122 and used for synchronous lifting with the piston 122; A pulling shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower end of the lifting shaft 23, and a plurality of groups of sealing rings 25 are fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the pulling shaft 24 at equal intervals; A water quality sensor 26 is arranged in the buoy body 111 and used for detecting the water quality brought into the collecting tube 22 by the sealing ring 25.
[0024] Further, as shown in Figures 6-7 , the outer diameter of the sealing ring 25 is equal to the inner diameter of the collecting tube 22, so as to block the water quality entering the collecting tube 22.
[0025] Further, as shown in Figure 7 , the water quality sensor 26 comprises: A detector 261 is mounted on the inner wall of the buoy body 111; A detection head 263 is arranged in the buoy body 111 and located at one side of the collecting tube 22 and used for real-time detection of the water quality blocked by the sealing ring 25 in the collecting tube 22, and a temporary storage groove 1111 for accommodating the detection head 263 is arranged in the buoy body 111 and located at the outer side of the detection head 263, and the temporary storage groove 1111 is communicated with the inside of the collecting tube 22; A data line 262 is electrically connected to one end of the detection head 263 and electrically connected to the other end of the detector 261, and used for transmitting the data detected by the detection head 263 to the detector 261 for analysis and storage.
[0026] It should be noted that the specific water quality detection parameters of the water quality sensor 26 can be switched according to the detection requirements, such as DO dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, conductivity, algae, etc. The bottom of the antenna 115 in the application is provided with a positioner for positioning the sinking depth, and the device can be used for collecting and detecting the water quality in the ocean, lake and river, and the maximum diving depth is generally 500 meters, and the general placement time in the water body is 10 days.
[0027] It should be noted that, in the specific implementation process of the application, Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, initially, piston 122 is located at the bottom of amplification tank 1131, and annular airbag 126 is in a fully contracted state, lowering buoy body 111 into the water. Buoy body 111 gradually sinks in the water. When buoy body 111 sinks to the maximum depth to be detected, electric cylinder 121 is activated. Electric cylinder 121 drives piston 122 to move upward a short distance along amplification tank 1131, so that the air in amplification tank 1131 passes through air guide pipe 123, adapter pipe 124, air inlet pipe 125 and finally enters annular airbag 126, increasing the drainage area of annular airbag 126 and increasing the overall buoyancy of buoy body 111. At this time, buoy body 111 stops sinking and is suspended in the water at the maximum depth to be detected. like Figures 5-7 As shown, during the process of the electric cylinder 121 driving the piston 122 to move upward along the amplification tank 1131, the piston 122 drives the pull shaft 24 to move upward a certain distance through the lifting shaft 23. The pull shaft 24 drives the sealing ring 25 from the outside of the collection tube 22 to the inside of the collection tube 22, so that a portion of the water corresponding to this depth is collected into the collection tube 22 for temporary storage. At the same time, after the water enters the inside of the collection tube 22, the detection head 263 directly performs real-time detection on the water and transmits the detected data to the detector 261 for analysis through the data line 262. like Figures 1-7 As shown, after the water body corresponding to the depth is detected and collected, the electric cylinder 121 pushes the piston 122 to move a small section along the inside of the amplification tank 1131, causing the annular airbag 126 to expand further and the drainage area of the annular airbag 126 to increase further, causing the buoy assembly 11 to rise a further distance in the water body. During this process, the piston 122 drives the sealing ring 25 to move upward through the lifting shaft 23 under the action of the pull shaft 24. The sealing ring 25 continues to collect the water at the corresponding depth into the collection pipe 22 and performs the next round of detection and analysis through the detector 261, thereby enabling the detection and collection of water quality at different depths. like Figures 6-7 As shown, after collecting and testing multiple water samples according to the above steps, the annular airbag 126 expands to its maximum size, and the buoy body 111 finally floats on the water surface. At this time, the buoy body 111 is retrieved, and the electric cylinder 121 is retracted in sections, so that the electric cylinder 121 drives the lifting shaft 23 to move downward along the collection tube 22 through the piston 122, so that the water samples collected at different depths in the collection tube 22 are unloaded and packaged into different containers for experimental research.
[0028] The piston 122 can be driven to ascend and descend in the expansion groove 1131 by controlling the electric cylinder 121, so that the piston 122 can drive the sealing ring 25 to ascend and descend under the action of the pull shaft 24 through the lifting shaft 23, the water at the depth can be taken into the collecting pipe 22 and correspond to the detection head 263 in multiple times, the detection head 263 can detect the water quality at the depth in multiple times, and the accuracy of the detection result is improved.
