Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sampling and collecting plankton, in particular to a plankton sampler. Background Art
[0002] Plankton is an organism that floats on the water surface and moves with the current. The study of plankton can help maintain the balance of the aquatic ecosystem. Plankton sampling is a key process and requires the use of special equipment. Sampling can be done by the river or while boating.
[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent with announcement number: CN217180016U discloses a plankton sampling device, including a sampling rod, a steel ring and a net bag, a slide groove is provided at the bottom of the sampling rod, a pulley with a bracket matching it is provided inside the slide groove, the steel ring is fixedly connected to the pulley bracket, a net bag is provided at the circumference of the steel ring, a positioning pin that can pass through the slide groove is provided at one end of the sampling rod near the pulley, a pressure rod is provided at the top of the sampling rod, one end of the pressure rod is fixedly connected to the positioning pin, a support rod is provided in the middle of the top of the sampling rod, one end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the sampling rod, and the other end is hinged to the middle of the pressure rod, the height of the support rod is greater than the height of the positioning pin, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the net bag, and a collection tube is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate. The utility model can control the movement of the collection tube, reduce people's labor intensity, and the detachable connection of the collection tube can quickly collect plankton and improve work efficiency.
[0004] The working principle of the above patent mentions that "the pulley 2 slides in the slide groove 7 to the end close to the positioning pin 6, and is fixed by the positioning pin 6. The sampling rod 1 is operated horizontally to drive the collection tube 11 to sample plankton. When the sampling is completed, the sampling rod 1 is in an upward tilted state. At this time, an external force is applied to the pressure rod 3. The pressure rod 3 moves the positioning pin 6 upward under the action of the support rod 4. The pulley 2 uses its own weight to slide freely downward on the inside of the slide groove 7 to the hand-held position, which is convenient for collecting plankton in the collection tube 11. When the external force of the pressure rod 3 is eliminated, the positioning pin 6 can be automatically moved downward by relying on the action of the spring 5." However, in different waters or different depths, the user needs to adjust the depth of the sampler to obtain more comprehensive sample data, but the hand-held rod in the above sampler structure is of fixed length, which limits the sampler's ability to reach different depths of water and cannot adapt to different sampling needs.

Since the traction rope 21 is long and connected to the left end of the inclined groove 17, when the sliding When the wheel 4 drives the sampling net 7 to slide on the left end of the auxiliary rod 2, the pull rope 21 is first pulled to drive the pulling block 16 to slide to the left on the inner wall of the groove 15 to squeeze the spring 19, so that the limiting column 14 defined in the inclined groove 17 of the pulling block 16 slides on the inclined surface of the inclined groove 17 to drive the card block 13 to rise, thereby opening the flow intersection of the slide groove 3 in the auxiliary rod 2, and allowing the pulley 4 to slide to the rightmost side of the auxiliary rod 2. At this time, the pull rope 21 is released to allow the elastic force of the spring 19 to drive the pulling block 16 to reset, and the reset pulling block 16 drives the card block 13 to reset through the inclined groove 17 to limit the position of the pulley 4.
[0037] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bottom end of the ring block 6 is fixedly connected with a support block 22, and a notch 23 is provided at the bottom end of the support block 22. The side of the support block 22 away from the sampling net 7 is rotatably connected with two rotating plates 24.

[0038] The outside of the stop block 27 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through block 25, and the top of the stop block 27 is engaged with the inner wall of the notch 23. The end of the spring 28 away from the stop block 27 is fixedly connected to the side of the inner wall of the through block 25 close to the clamp 29. The top of the stop block 27 is fixedly connected with the spring 28, and the side of the bottom end of the support block 22 away from the rotating plate 24 is fixedly connected with the clamp 29. The side of the clamp 29 close to the positioning column 26 is engaged with the outside of the through block 25. The spring 28 is supported by the inner wall of the through block 25 to support the bottom end of the stop block 27 to rotate outward, and the other end of the stop block 27 is engaged with the notch 23 under the action of the resisting force of the spring 28, thereby fixing the position of the rotating plate 24 after rotation, so that the rotating plate 24 drives the through block 25 to tightly engage with the clamp 29 to fix the sampling net 7.
[0039] Four sampling bottles 30 are provided on the outside of the top of the sampling net 7, the outside of the clamp 29 is engaged with the inner wall of the sampling bottle 30, and the outside of the through block 25 is engaged with the inner wall of the sampling bottle 30.

[0040] Working principle: When the length of the main rod 1 needs to be extended, the motor 10 can be started to drive the gear 11 to rotate and mesh with the teeth of the rack block 9 embedded in the auxiliary rod 2, so that the rack block 9 is pushed to extend and retract out of the main rod 1 through the teeth of the rack block 9, and the fixed auxiliary rod 2 is synchronously driven to extend and retract. When the auxiliary rod 2 is extended and retracted to a suitable position, the motor 10 is turned off to keep the gear 11 stationary. At this time, the outer teeth of the gear 11 are meshed with the teeth of the rack block 9 to ensure that the auxiliary rod 2 will not retract. Then, because the slide groove 3 opened in the middle of the main rod 1 and the auxiliary rod 2 is the same size, the pulley 4 defined in the slide groove 3 will drive the indirectly fixed sampling net 7 to slide in the middle of the main rod 1 and the auxiliary rod 2 by gravity, which is convenient for users to operate. Check and sample, and because the pulling rope 21 is long and connected to the left end of the inclined groove 17, when the pulley 4 drives the sampling net 7 to slide on the left end of the auxiliary rod 2, the pulling rope 21 is first pulled to drive the pulling block 16 to slide to the left on the inner wall of the groove 15 to squeeze the spring 19, so that the limiting column 14 defined in the inclined groove 17 of the pulling block 16 slides on the inclined surface of the inclined groove 17 to drive the card block 13 to rise, thereby opening the flow intersection of the slide groove 3 in the auxiliary rod 2, and allowing the pulley 4 to slide to the rightmost side of the auxiliary rod 2. At this time, the pulling rope 21 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 19 drives the pulling block 16 to reset, and the reset pulling block 16 drives the card block 13 to reset through the inclined groove 17 to limit the position of the pulley 4.
[0041] When the user needs to disassemble, clean and repair the sampling net 7, the user can successively pry the block 27 at the bottom of the ring block 6 and rotate it around the positioning column 26 and squeeze the spring 28, so that the top of the block 27 is no longer engaged with the notch 23 of the support block 22, and the rotating plate 24 drives the through block 25 to rotate and open the opening between the clamp 29 and the through block 25. Finally, the user can detach the sampling bottle 30 engaged with the clamp 29 and the outside of the through block 25, so that the sampling net 7 can be quickly disassembled, which is convenient for users to clean and repair, and increases the function of the sampling net 7 to filter impurities in the water area, thereby increasing the accuracy of sample analysis.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
