Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of ecological environment research technology, in particular to a tidal flat wetland sediment

[0002] Real-time sampling device for accumulated matter. Background Art

[0003] Tidal flat wetlands refer to the edges or interiors of oceans, lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and other water bodies, which are submerged when high water levels are formed by tides or floods, and exposed when the water recedes at normal water levels. Tidal flat wetlands, also known as floodplain wetlands, are a type of wetland transitional from water to land, and are the result of the combined effects of natural processes and human activities.

[0004] Tidal flat wetlands can be divided into various types according to their matrix and biochemical composition, including sandy beaches, muddy beaches, gravel beaches, saline-alkali beaches, and grass beaches. Their sedimentary physical and chemical factors are variable and diverse. They are permanent or seasonal homes for fish, large benthic animals, phytoplankton, aquatic and wetland plants, etc. They are also important foraging, cruising, and breeding places for birds. They are of great significance to biodiversity conservation and are an important research target area in related fields such as wetland science and management, and ecological environmental monitoring.

[0005] There are many forms of sediment sampling devices at home and abroad, including piston type, rotary rod type, hammer type, pressurized type, etc., but they are all based on the characteristics of the sampling device, and the existing sediments are sampled in layers and sections. On the one hand, there is artificiality in the division of each layer; on the other hand, the analysis results only represent the vertical changes of sediments, reflecting the long-term rough process of wetland ecosystems. With the advancement of scientific research precision, the requirements for ecological environment prediction and forecasting, as well as the increase in disaster assessment and ecological compensation needs, tidal flat wetland sediments are used as ecological environment event response units driven by nature and man. It is increasingly urgent to study their records and expressions of short-term hydrological processes, single major natural disasters or pollution diffusion. It is very necessary to design an instant tidal flat wetland sediment sampling device. Utility Model Content

[0018] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 The implementation method of the utility model is specifically described as a real-time sampling device for sediments in the Yellow River beach wetlands serving ecological positioning sites.

[0019] 1. Site selection for sedimentation bottom plate: At the beginning of the study period, according to the water and soil ecological gradient created by the terrain, an ecological gradient sample line was selected from the permanent river wetland (river channel) to the highest point of the tidal flat wetland, and a sediment sampling point was determined every 8m on the sample line.

[0020] 2. The method of laying out the sedimentation base plate is as follows: the face plate of the sedimentation base plate faces upward, and the fixing plate is bent 90 degrees and parallel to the face plate; the sedimentation base plate is lightly pressed on the beach at the sample point to form a bottom contour, the above-ground parts of the plants on the beach within the contour line are cleaned up, and the underground rhizomes buried within a depth of less than 5 cm are dug out, and a corresponding contour of 2-3 cm deep is arranged at the position of the fixing plate; after leveling the beach ground within the contour line with the surrounding ground, the sedimentation base plate is buckled in place and pressed into the soil layer with force; the benchmark fixed pile sprayed with bright colors is inserted into the wedge hole of the fixing plate with the pile head facing upward, and it is knocked into the beach with a rubber hammer. The insertion depth should be 5-10 cm. At this point, the sedimentation base plate is laid out.

[0021] 3. Sampling method: After a certain sedimentation period, sampling is carried out when the water level drops and the beach becomes a mudflat, wet beach or dry beach, and the sample lines and sample points laid out in advance are found according to the positioning.

[0022] 4. Using three benchmark fixed piles as control points, hold the sampling frame horizontally, with the narrow end of the sampling frame facing downward, and slowly lower it along the inside of the benchmark fixed pile. After slight adjustment, completely wrap the muddy bottom plate in the sampling frame, and apply force downward on all four sides of the sampling frame to the hard object. At this time, the sampling frame has reached the depth of the fixed piece; go to the sedimentary bottom plate edge strip between the narrow end and the wide end of the sampling frame, and use a mud scraper to clean the mud and other materials on the outside of the edge strip to form a wedge-shaped slope from the wide end of the sampling frame to the bottom of the sedimentary bottom plate edge strip; operate the handle to pull out the folding bucket, insert the dustpan edge strip into the lower part of the sedimentary bottom plate edge strip, and use the mud scraper to scrape all the sediment on the muddy bottom plate into the folding bucket; retract the folding bucket and lift it from the mudflat together with the sampling frame to complete a round of sampling.

[0023] The tidal flat wetland sediments in the folding bucket can be collected into a sampling bag with a scraper or brush and brought back to the laboratory for processing. If you are doing research on microorganisms in the sediment, you need to use a small spoon to put it into a plastic or glass sampling tube and bring it back to the laboratory in a portable ice bucket. The sediment base and the sampling frame folding bucket should be properly cleaned after each sampling.

[0024] When the sedimentary bottom plate is sampled multiple times and the panel height is 2-3 cm lower than the surrounding mudflat ground, it should be folded and the bottom surface should be leveled and rearranged.

[0025] This instant sampling device for tidal flat wetland sediments is now the third generation. The first generation sampling frame is a rectangular parallelepiped, which is not consistent at the front and back ends. An external dustpan is used to collect sediments, but the problem of sediment mixing inside and outside the sample plot is prominent during operation; the second generation sampling frame is still the same width front and back, but the external separate dustpan is replaced by a built-in semi-fixed folding bucket. In actual operation, the folding bucket has a narrow telescopic space, and the problems of mixed layers and mixing cannot be completely avoided. The utility model is the third generation and better avoids the above problems.
