Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sample preparation, and particularly relates to a soil sample preparation device. Background Art
[0002] The preparation of soil samples refers to the process of air-drying the soil samples collected from the sampling points according to the sampling standards. The air-dried samples are poured onto kraft paper, plexiglass (hardwood) boards, or colorless polyethylene films, or put into cloth bags, and then crushed by hitting with a wooden hammer or pressing with a wooden (plexiglass) rod. The samples are successively sieved through nylon sieves with specified pore sizes until all the air-dried soil samples pass through the nylon sieves. After sieving, the samples are weighed, mixed evenly, packaged, sent for inspection, and stored. During the grinding process, non-soil components, including gravel, sand, and plant residues, should be picked out at any time, but the soil samples should not be discarded casually to avoid affecting the representativeness of the soil samples.
[0003] However, since the preparation of existing soil samples generally requires manual rolling or hammering of the soil samples to crush them into powder, not only is the labor density high in this operation step, but it also takes a long time, greatly slowing down the overall progress of sample preparation, resulting in low sample preparation efficiency and long cycle. Moreover, a large amount of dust is generated during the crushing process, which seriously affects the health of the operators after inhalation. At the same time, during the crushing process, it is necessary to sort out sand, gravel, and roots, and the operators need to constantly switch operations, further leading to low sample preparation efficiency and high labor intensity. In addition, after the preparation of each sample is completed, all used preparation tools must be cleaned or blown clean with an oil-free air compressor before they can be used for the preparation of the next soil sample to avoid cross-contamination between samples. However, in reality, the sampling equipment is not easy to be blown and washed clean, and fine particles float in the air during the blowing and washing process, making it impossible to achieve thorough and comprehensive cleaning and blowing, and it is extremely easy to cause cross-contamination between samples. Moreover, a large amount of dust generated during the cleaning process will pollute the experimental environment and seriously threaten the health and safety of the operators.
[0004] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need for a device that can automatically complete the processes of crushing, sieving, sorting, and cleaning of soil samples, significantly reducing the labor intensity of operators, reducing dust pollution, ensuring the health and safety of operators, improving the efficiency and accuracy of sample preparation, and providing reliable technical support for soil science research and environmental monitoring. Therefore, it has become an urgent need to design a soil sample preparation device that integrates automation, low dust, and high-efficiency cleaning. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present utility model proposes a soil sample preparation device, which does not require manual rolling or knocking treatment of soil samples, effectively reduces the labor intensity of operators during the soil sample preparation process, can avoid damage to the health of operators caused by dust during the preparation process, and is simple and convenient to operate, improving the preparation efficiency of soil samples, shortening the sample preparation time, and can effectively avoid cross-contamination during the sample preparation process, ensuring the representativeness and accuracy of sample preparation.

[0060] Among them, specifically, the air-drying fan of the air-drying mechanism 3, the crushing motor of the crushing mechanism 4, the screening fan of the first screening mechanism 5, the grinding motor of the grinding mechanism 6, the screening fan of the second screening mechanism 7, the blowing fan 91 of the blowing mechanism 9, the rotating motor 25, the lifting cylinder 26, the weighing component 2111, and the touch display screen 18 are all electrically connected to the control mechanism. It should be noted that the control mechanism is a mature existing technology, and an existing PLC controller or other microprocessors can be used, which will not be elaborated here in detail.
[0061] Furthermore, the specific process of processing and preparing the soil sample using the soil sample preparation device provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0062] Sample feeding process:
[0063] The operator first places the soil sample in the sample box 23, and then places the sample box 23 containing the soil sample in the tray seat 211 at the sample inlet 11. The control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to drive the tray seat 211 and the sample box 23 to move downward along the sample inlet tube 221 until the tray seat 211 is located in the annular material cavity. Subsequently, the control mechanism drives the rotating motor 25 to move, thereby driving the lower supporting disc 21 to rotate and making the tray seat 211 rotate to the lower part of the cylinder seat 223 corresponding to the air-drying mechanism 3. At this time, the rotating motor 25 stops moving, and the control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to drive the tray seat 211 and the sample box 23 to move upward a certain distance, so that the tray seat 211 is partially embedded in the cylinder cavity of the cylinder seat 223 to form a closed treatment space.
[0064] Air-drying process:
[0065] The control mechanism drives the air-drying fan of the air-drying mechanism 3 to operate, and sends filtered and purified air into the cylinder cavity of the cylinder seat 223 through the air-drying air inlet 32 to air-dry the soil sample in the sample box 23. After air-drying for a period of time, the air-drying fan stops operating, and the control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to operate, driving the tray seat 211 to move downward to the annular material cavity.
[0066] Crushing process:
[0067] The control mechanism drives the rotary motor 25 to operate, driving the lower supporting disc 21 to rotate and causing the tray seat 211 to rotate to the lower part of the cylinder seat 223 corresponding to the crushing mechanism 4. At this time, the rotary motor 25 stops operating. The control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to drive the tray seat 211 and the sample box 23 to move upward by a certain distance, so that a part of the tray seat 211 is embedded in the cylinder cavity of the cylinder seat 223 to form a closed treatment space. Subsequently, the control mechanism drives the crushing motor of the crushing mechanism 4 to operate, driving the crushing paddle to rotate, and performing crushing and rough grinding on the soil sample in the sample box 23. After crushing for a period of time, when the grinding and crushing are completed, the motor stops operating. The control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to operate, driving the tray seat 211 to move downward to the annular material cavity;
[0068] It should be noted that to ensure complete crushing and grinding of the soil sample, during the crushing process, the control mechanism can synchronously drive the lifting cylinder 26 to perform lifting movement while driving the crushing motor to operate, so as to change the height position of the crushing paddle in the sample box 23, so as to ensure a comprehensive and thorough crushing treatment of the soil sample inside the sample box 23.
[0069] Screening process:
[0070] The control mechanism drives the rotary motor 25 to operate, driving the lower supporting disc 21 to rotate and causing the tray seat 211 to rotate to the lower part of the cylinder seat 223 corresponding to the first screening mechanism 5. At this time, the rotary motor 25 stops operating. The control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to drive the tray seat 211 and the sample box 23 to move upward by a certain distance, so that a part of the tray seat 211 is embedded in the cylinder cavity of the cylinder seat 223 to form a closed treatment space. Subsequently, the control mechanism drives the screening fan of the first screening mechanism 5 to operate. Under the suction of the screening fan, the soil sample is sucked into the screening fan through the first material suction port 52 and screened through the first screen. The gravel and plant roots with a particle size larger than the aperture of the first screen are transported to the waste box 24 through the first waste port 54. The soil sample with a particle size meeting the requirements is stored in the first screening mechanism 5 after passing through the first screen, waiting to be transported to the grinding mechanism 6 through the first sample port 53 later. The screening fan stops operating. The control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to operate, driving the tray seat 211 to move downward to the annular material cavity;
[0071] It should be noted that during this process, since the tray seat 211 under the sample box 23 is provided with a weighing component 2111, it can be judged whether the soil sample is completely sucked into the first screening mechanism 5 for screening through the weighing component 2111.
[0072] Grinding process:
[0073] The control mechanism drives the rotary motor 25 to operate, driving the lower supporting disc 21 to rotate and causing the tray seat 211 to rotate to the lower part of the cylinder seat 223 corresponding to the grinding mechanism 6. At this time, the rotary motor 25 stops operating. The control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to drive the tray seat 211 and the sample box 23 to move upward for a certain distance, so that a part of the tray seat 211 is embedded in the cylinder cavity of the cylinder seat 223 to form a closed treatment space. Subsequently, the control mechanism drives the material conveying component in the first screening mechanism 5 to operate. The soil sample stored in the first screening mechanism 5 is sent into the lower sample box 23 through the first sample port 53 and the grinding feed port 64. After the soil sample is completely sent into the sample box 23, the control mechanism drives the grinding motor of the grinding mechanism 6 to operate, driving the grinding paddle to rotate to finely grind the soil sample. After grinding for a period of time, the grinding motor stops operating, and the control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to operate, driving the tray seat 211 to move downward into the annular material cavity;
[0074] It should be noted that to ensure complete grinding of the soil sample, during the grinding process, the control mechanism can synchronously drive the lifting cylinder 26 to perform lifting movement while driving the grinding motor to operate, so as to change the height position of the grinding paddle in the sample box 23 to ensure comprehensive and thorough grinding treatment of the soil sample inside the sample box 23.
[0075] Screening process:
[0076] The control mechanism drives the rotary motor 25 to operate, driving the lower supporting disc 21 to rotate and causing the tray seat 211 to rotate to the lower part of the cylinder seat 223 corresponding to the second screening mechanism 7. At this time, the rotary motor 25 stops operating. The control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to drive the tray seat 211 and the sample box 23 to move upward for a certain distance, so that a part of the tray seat 211 is embedded in the cylinder cavity of the cylinder seat 223 to form a closed treatment space. Subsequently, the control mechanism drives the screening fan of the second screening mechanism 7 to operate. The soil sample is sucked into the screening fan through the second suction port 72 under the suction of the screening fan and is screened through the second sieve. The soil sample with a particle size larger than the aperture of the second sieve is conveyed to the waste box 24 through the second waste port 74, and the soil sample that meets the requirements is stored in the second screening mechanism 7 after passing through the second sieve, waiting to be conveyed to the collection mechanism 8 through the second sample port 73 later; The screening fan stops operating, and the control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to operate, driving the tray seat 211 to move downward into the annular material cavity;
[0077] It should be noted that during this process, since the tray seat 211 under the sample box 23 is provided with a weighing component 2111, it can be judged whether the soil sample is completely sucked into the second screening mechanism 7 for screening through the weighing component 2111.
[0078] Collection process:
[0079] The control mechanism drives the rotary motor 25 to operate, driving the lower supporting disc 21 to rotate and causing the tray seat 211 to rotate to the lower part of the cylinder seat 223 corresponding to the collection mechanism 8. At this time, the rotary motor 25 stops operating. The control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to drive the tray seat 211 and the sample box 23 to move upward for a certain distance, so that part of the tray seat 211 is embedded in the cylinder cavity of the cylinder seat 223 to form a closed processing space. Subsequently, the control mechanism drives the feeding component in the second screening mechanism 7 to operate. The soil sample stored in the second screening mechanism 7 is sent into the lower sample box 23 through the second sample port 73 and the aggregate inlet 82. After the soil sample is completely sent into the sample box 23, the control mechanism drives the lifting cylinder 26 to operate, driving the tray seat 211 to move downward into the annular material cavity. The control mechanism drives the rotary motor 25 to operate, driving the lower supporting disc 21 to rotate and causing the tray seat 211 to rotate to the lower part of the sample outlet cylinder 222. At this time, the rotary motor 25 stops operating. The lifting cylinder 26 drives the tray seat 211 and the sample box 23 to move upward along the sample outlet cylinder 222 until it reaches the position of the sample outlet 12. The operator takes out the prepared sample box 23 at the sample outlet 12 and conducts sub-packaging treatment on it, finally completing the preparation of the soil sample.
[0080] Cleaning process:
[0081] After the preparation of the soil sample is completed, the control mechanism drives the purge fan 91 of the purge mechanism 9 to operate. The purge fan 91 simultaneously purges and removes dust from the sample inlet cylinder 221, the air-drying mechanism 3, the crushing mechanism 4, the first screening mechanism 5, the grinding mechanism 6, the second screening mechanism 7, the aggregate mechanism, the sample outlet cylinder 222, and the annular material cavity through the purge pipeline 92 and the sample inlet purge port, air-drying purge port 31, crushing purge port 41, first screening purge port 51, grinding purge port 61, second screening purge port 71, aggregate purge port 81, and sample outlet purge port connected to the purge pipeline 92, so as to avoid the dust and fine particles of the soil sample remaining and adhering inside the cavity during the processing, causing cross-contamination in the next preparation of the soil sample. During the cleaning process, the air-drying motor of the air-drying mechanism 3 and the screening fans of the first screening mechanism 5 and the second screening mechanism 7 operate synchronously to purge and clean the pipelines inside the air-drying mechanism 3, the first screening mechanism 5, and the second screening mechanism 7.
[0082] The corresponding components are replaced through the air intake filter element replacement interface, the air outlet filter element replacement port 14, the first screen replacement port 15, the second screen replacement port 16, and the waste box replacement port 17 on the top wall of the machine shell 1.
[0083] In summary, the soil sample preparation device provided by the present utility model does not require manual rolling or knocking treatment of soil samples, effectively reducing the labor intensity of operators during the soil sample preparation process, avoiding damage to the health of operators caused by dust during the preparation process, and being simple and convenient to operate, improving the preparation efficiency of soil samples, shortening the sample preparation time, and effectively avoiding cross-contamination during the sample preparation process, ensuring the representativeness and accuracy of sample preparation.
[0084] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. All equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the present utility model should still fall within the scope covered by the present utility model.
