[0002] The collection of undisturbed soil samples is of great significance for soil science and environmental research. Untouched soil samples can maintain the integrity of soil structure, including the arrangement of soil particles, pore distribution, aggregate size, etc. This is critical for studying the physical properties of soil, such as soil erosion resistance, porosity, permeability, bulk density, etc. The commonly used methods at present are mainly slotting, ring knife / steel slot method and soil block sampling. The slotting method is to dig a large pit on the soil surface and then cut the undisturbed soil sample from the pit wall. The ring knife / steel slot method uses a cylindrical / rectangular tool with a known volume to take samples, so that the density and other physical properties of the soil can be accurately calculated. Soil block sampling is to cut a complete soil sample directly from the soil, which is usually used to study soil structure and root distribution. The slotting method may inevitably disturb the adjacent soil when digging a large pit and cutting samples, and usually requires a large amount of manpower and time investment. In actual soil erosion or scour research, it is difficult to clearly observe the formation, water infiltration and movement of water pits or falls using the stainless steel ring knife / steel trough method.

[0003] Rectangular undisturbed soil samples are often used in soil scouring experiments, but they are currently mostly obtained using the steel trough method, which makes it difficult to observe the development of water pits or drops during soil scouring. Transparent rectangular soil troughs are mostly used for soil infiltration process observation and simulation, but they are mostly used for analysis of filled soil samples. The use of undisturbed soil samples is rare, and undisturbed soil samples are more consistent with the actual situation in the field than filled soil samples. Therefore, how to use transparent rectangular containers to achieve non-deformation collection of undisturbed soil is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content
