Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of analytical sampling technology, and in particular to a sampling device for aquatic ecological toxicology experimental analysis. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of fisheries production and aquatic ecological environment protection, the health status of fishery aquatic ecosystems is directly related to the sustainable development of fishery resources and ecological balance. Toxicological experiments, as the core means of assessing the degree of harm to aquatic ecosystems caused by toxic and harmful substances (such as heavy metals, pesticide residues, and industrial pollutants) in fishery waters, rely on high-quality samples for their scientific validity and accuracy. The sampling process is a key prerequisite for determining sample quality.

[0003] Currently, the sampling devices used in fishery aquatic ecotoxicology experiments are mostly traditional general-purpose sampling equipment. These devices have many shortcomings in practical applications and cannot meet the stringent requirements of toxicology experiments for sample representativeness, completeness, and timeliness. Specific problems are as follows: First, the problem of relying solely on a single sampling medium is prominent. Existing sampling devices are primarily designed for water samples, often neglecting the sampling needs of other key media within the aquatic ecosystem. In aquatic ecosystems, bottom sediment serves as a significant accumulation carrier of toxic substances, whose toxicity directly impacts the survival of benthic organisms and can be re-released into the water through biological disturbance and water exchange, thus affecting the entire ecosystem. Aquatic organisms (such as fish, crustaceans, and algae) act as carriers of toxic substances, and the toxicity levels within them are crucial indicators for assessing toxic effects. Suspended particulate matter readily adsorbs toxic substances and is a key medium for their migration and transformation. Existing devices only sample water, failing to obtain samples from bottom sediment, aquatic organisms, and suspended particulate matter. This results in toxicological experiments being based solely on a single water sample, leading to incomplete assessments that fail to fully reflect the true toxicity status of the aquatic ecosystem. Secondly, water layer sampling has significant limitations. Environmental parameters (such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH) vary in different water layers (surface, middle, and bottom) of fishery water bodies, and the distribution and concentration of toxic and harmful substances may also show significant differences as a result. However, existing sampling devices often lack precise water layer regulation functions, making it difficult to achieve differentiated sampling of different water layers. They often can only obtain samples from a single water layer, failing to capture the distribution characteristics of toxic and harmful substances in the vertical space of the water body, further reducing the spatial representativeness of the samples. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0018] Existing water sampling devices mostly focus on water body sampling, neglecting key media such as bottom sediment, aquatic organisms, and suspended particulate matter. This leads to one-sided toxicity assessment results that fail to reflect the true toxicity status of the aquatic ecosystem. Furthermore, they lack precise water layer regulation capabilities, making it difficult to achieve differentiated sampling of the surface, middle, and bottom layers, and failing to capture the vertical spatial distribution characteristics of toxic and harmful substances, resulting in insufficient spatial representativeness of the samples. Additionally, some methods involve simultaneous water and bottom sediment sampling, often using a combination of devices. This can cause mud and water mixing during bottom sediment sampling, contaminating the water to be sampled and distorting the reanalysis of the sampled water.

[0019] Therefore, the present invention completes the sampling of water quality and bottom sediment on the same device, and by sampling water quality first and then bottom sediment, it can ensure that the water quality after sampling will not be distorted during analysis.

[0020] See attached document Figure 1-7 The present invention proposes a sampling device for aquatic ecological toxicology experimental analysis, comprising a cylinder 1, characterized in that an inner cylinder 2 is rotatably installed inside the cylinder 1, and at least three water quality sampling devices are installed in the inner cylinder 2 from top to bottom, and a movable mud sampling cylinder 6 is provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder 2. The water sampling device includes a water intake mechanism 4 fixedly installed inside the inner cylinder 2. Both sides of the water intake mechanism 4 are fixed and connected to telescopic pipe fittings 5. Both sides of the cylinder 1 are provided with water intake ports 100 for the telescopic pipe fittings 5 ​​to enter and exit. The top of the cylinder 1 is fixedly installed with a motor device 7 for driving the water sampling device to rotate. The inner wall of the cylinder 1 is also provided with a moving groove 3 for the telescopic pipe fittings 5 ​​to rotate. The water intake mechanism 4 includes a water intake shell 41, a piston plate 42 is provided inside the water intake shell 41, a through-pressing rod 43 is fixedly installed on the piston plate 42, a first spring 44 located inside the water intake shell 41 is sleeved on the pressing rod 43, three water quality sampling devices are distributed at equal intervals, and the upper pressing rod 43 penetrates the lower water intake shell 41, and the pressing rod 43 at the end contacts the mud sampling cylinder 6.

[0021] Specifically, the telescopic pipe 5 includes a transmission pipe 51 and an inlet pipe 52. The transmission pipe 51 is fixed and connected to the water intake shell 41, and the inlet pipe 52 is sleeved on the transmission pipe 51. A return component 8 is provided between the transmission pipe 51 and the inlet pipe 52. The return component 8 includes a groove 81 opened on the outer wall of the transmission pipe 51. A slider 82 is fixedly installed on the inlet pipe 52 and slidably installed in the groove 81. A second spring 83 is installed between the groove 81 and the slider 82.

[0022] In addition, in this embodiment, a rubber sleeve 53 is installed at the end of the liquid inlet pipe 52. The diameter of the rubber sleeve 53 is the same as the diameter of the water outlet 100, and the surface of the rubber sleeve 53 is arc-shaped.

[0023] Specifically, the motor device 7 includes a housing fixed to the top of the cylinder 1. A driven gear 73 and a driving gear 74 are rotatably mounted on the housing. The driven gear 73 and the driving gear 74 mesh with each other. A motor 75 is mounted on the housing. The output end of the motor 75 is fixedly connected to the driven gear 73. The motor device 7 also includes a fixed seat 72 fixed to the top of the inner cylinder 2 and a fixed sleeve 71 fixed to the bottom of the driven gear 73. The fixed seat 72 is snapped into the fixed sleeve 71. The mud-collecting cylinder 6 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the inner cylinder 2. A moving hole 200 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder 1 for the mud-collecting cylinder 6 to move up and down.

[0024] Finally, in this invention, the water intake shell 41 is provided with a discharge pipe 400 that penetrates the cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2. The discharge pipe 400 is provided with a valve. The cylinder 1 is equipped with a water intake cover 300 for blocking the water intake port 100 by means of a torsion spring. The mud extraction cylinder 6 is equipped with a mud cover 61 for blocking the mud extraction cylinder 6 by means of a torsion spring. The bottom of the cylinder 1 is equipped with a bottom ring plate 9, and the bottom ring plate 9 is provided with a plurality of fixing cones 10.

[0025] It should be noted that during operation, the fixed seat 72 is secured within the fixed sleeve 71. When the inner cylinder 2 is not rotating, the telescopic tube 5 does not correspond to the water inlet 100. Therefore, the water inlet cover 300 will cover the water inlet 100, preventing the liquid inlet tube 52 from moving. Furthermore, it should be noted that in this embodiment, a return assembly 8 is also provided between the mud-collecting cylinder 6 and the bottom of the inner cylinder 2, ensuring that the mud-collecting cylinder 6 can be returned to its original position after use.

[0026] Specific assignments: The first step is to place the device into the water area to be sampled. The cylinder 1 will sink underwater, and the fixing cone 10 will enter the mud at the bottom of the riverbed, thus fixing the device in place.

[0027] The second step involves waiting for the mud stirred up by the fixed cone 10 to settle and the water to calm down. Then, the starting motor 75 drives the inner cylinder 2 to rotate. Specifically, the starting motor 75 drives the drive gear 74 to rotate, which in turn meshes with the driven gear 73. The rotation of the driven gear 73 causes the fixed seat 72, which is fitted into the fixed sleeve 71, to rotate, thus causing the inner cylinder 2 to rotate. When the inner cylinder 2 rotates, it drives the various water sampling devices to rotate, causing the telescopic pipe 5 to move within the moving trough 3. Because the inlet pipe 52 is compressed by the wall of the moving trough 3, the second spring 83 at the telescopic pipe 5 is in a compressed state. Figure 6 As shown, when the telescopic tube 5 moves to the water inlet 100, the second spring 83 at that location will extend, thereby pushing the liquid inlet tube 52 into the water inlet 100.

[0028] Thirdly, when the inlet pipe 52 enters the water inlet 100, the motor 75 stops. At this time, part of the inlet pipe 52 will come out of the water inlet 100, pushing the water inlet cover 300 inward. This will open the water inlet 100, and the rubber sleeve 53 will fit tightly against the water inlet 100 to achieve a waterproof effect. Subsequently, the water to be sampled will flow through the inlet pipe 52, through the transmission pipe 51, and finally into the water inlet shell 41. As water continuously enters the water inlet shell 41, the weight of the water presses down the piston plate 42 to move it to the bottom of the water inlet shell 41. The movement of the piston plate 42 causes the pressing rod 43 to move down and the first spring 44 to contract. The upper pressing rod 43 will press down onto the lower piston plate 42. It should also be noted that during operation, the water sampling devices at each water layer operate simultaneously, causing water to enter each sampling shell 41 at the same time. This results in the bottommost pressing rod 43 pressing down on the mud sampling cylinder 6, causing it to emerge from the bottom of the inner cylinder 2. Simultaneously, the two upper pressing rods 43 press down, meaning the weight pressing down on the mud sampling cylinder 6 comes from the combined downward pressure of the three pressing rods 43. This provides sufficient force to push the mud sampling cylinder 6 into the bottom mud. Upon entering the bottom, the mud cover 61 opens due to the force of the mud, allowing the bottom mud to enter the mud sampling cylinder 6, thus completing the sampling. It should also be noted that only after all water quality sampling devices have completed sampling, that is, after all water sampling shells 41 are filled with water, is there sufficient force to press down the mud sampling cylinder 6. Therefore, it can be seen that water quality is sampled first, followed by bottom mud sampling.

[0029] Fourth, after all samples have been taken, the device is removed from the water area to drain the bottom mud from the mud sampling cylinder 6. The water in each water sampling shell 41 is then drained by opening the valve of the discharge pipe 400. Finally, the motor 75 is restarted to rotate the inner cylinder 2. As the inner cylinder 2 rotates, it moves the telescopic pipe 5. The head of the telescopic pipe 5 is a rubber sleeve 53, which is arc-shaped. A rubber sleeve is also fitted onto the water intake 100. Under the force of rotation, the liquid inlet pipe 52 emerges from the water intake 100, causing the slider 82 at that location to retract again, and the liquid inlet pipe 52 enters the moving trough 3.
