Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of samplers, and particularly relates to a portable epiphytic algae sampler. Background Art
[0002] Epiphytic algae sampling refers to the process of collecting epiphytic algae. Epiphytic algae refer to algae that attach and grow on the surfaces of various substrates in water, such as stones, aquatic plants, buildings, etc. When conducting epiphytic algae sampling, special sampling tools are usually required to ensure that representative samples are collected. The following are some common epiphytic algae sampling steps: Select a suitable sampling location according to research purposes and requirements.
[0003] Chinese Patent with the authorization announcement number CN108918178B discloses a portable epiphytic algae sampler. The power supply is respectively connected to the charging interface and the power switch, and the motor is connected to the micro water pump. The charging interface, the power supply, the power switch, the motor, and the micro water pump are fixed to the outer shell by screws. The transmission shaft is connected to the motor through a brush fixing bolt and then connected to the brush. The sleeve is screwed onto the outer shell, a metal round tube is welded at the front end of the sleeve, a flexible sealing cover is sleeved at the front end of the metal round tube, the micro water pump is respectively connected to the first and second water pump conduits, and the second water pump conduit is connected to the water storage bottle. A sample collection port is opened at the lower part of the front end of the metal round tube, the conduits are respectively connected to the sample collection port and the sample collection bottle, and a water inlet is arranged on the sleeve. It has a simple structure, low cost, convenient operation, easy to carry, high efficiency and accuracy. It greatly improves the efficiency of collecting epiphytic algae in the wild, saves manpower, material resources and time, and at the same time can collect epiphytic algae samples on the substrate surfaces that cannot be accurately obtained by traditional methods.

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0024] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a portable algal sampler includes a fixed seat 1. Two suction pipes 2 are symmetrically installed on the upper part of the outer surface of the fixed seat 1 along its height direction. A friction disk 5 is arranged at the bottom of the fixed seat 1. A suction component 8 is arranged on the back side of the upper part of the outer surface of the fixed seat 1. A separation box 7 is arranged on the side of the suction component 8 away from the fixed seat 1. A transmission component 3 is installed on the top of the fixed seat 1;
[0025] By setting the connecting rod 4 to drive the friction disk 5 to rotate, the algae growing on the stone substrate is rubbed off. The suction pipe 2 sucks the ground algae and water together into the separation box 7 through the suction component 8 for filtration. After filtering the water, the collection of algae is completed. By setting the transmission component 3 to drive the friction disk 5 and the suction component 8 to carry out sampling operations together, the energy consumption and cost are reduced.
[0026] Specifically, the top end of the fixed seat 1 is open. A through rotation hole 12 is opened at the center of the bottom end of the inner cavity of the fixed seat 1. A connecting rod 4 is rotatably installed in the rotation hole 12. The friction disk 5 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod 4;
[0027] The suction component 8 includes a connecting pipe 81 and a second bevel gear 86. The connecting pipe 81 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the top end of the fixed seat 1. The front and rear ends of the connecting pipe 81 are respectively communicated with the fixed seat 1 and the separation box 7. A fixed frame 82 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the connecting pipe 81. A rotating rod 83 is rotatably installed in the middle of the fixed frame 82. A fan blade 84 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod 83 close to the separation box 7.
[0028] The second bevel gear 86 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the outer surface of the connecting rod 4. A first bevel gear 85 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating rod 83 away from the fan blade 84. The first bevel gear 85 meshes with the second bevel gear 86.
[0029] The transmission component 3 includes a connecting shell 31. The connecting shell 31 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top end of the fixed seat 1. A motor 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the inner cavity of the connecting shell 31. The output of the motor 32 is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting rod 4 through a coupling. A handle 6 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting shell 31.
[0030] Start the motor 32. The output of the motor 32 drives the connecting rod 4 to rotate through the coupling. When the connecting rod 4 rotates, it drives the friction disc 5 to grind the algae on the stone substrate. At the same time, a second bevel gear 86 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the outer surface of the connecting rod 4. The first bevel gear 85 meshes with the first bevel gear 85 at one end of the rotating rod 83. In this way, when the connecting rod 4 rotates, it drives the fan blade 84 at the other end to rotate together through the rotating rod 83. When the fan blade 84 rotates, a negative pressure is formed in the inner cavity of the fixed seat 1, and then the algae ground by the friction disc 5 and the water are jointly sucked into the separation box 7 through the suction pipe 2.
[0031] A handle 6 convenient for the user to hold is installed on the outer surface of the connecting shell 31, which is convenient for the user to hold and use the device.
[0032] Furthermore, a connecting disc 41 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom end of the connecting rod 4. The friction disc 5 is threadedly connected to the connecting disc 41 through a screw 52.
[0033] The friction disc 5 is a vulnerable part. The friction disc 5 is threadedly connected to the connecting disc 41 at the bottom end of the connecting rod 4 through a screw 52. Unscrewing the screw 52 is convenient for the user to regularly disassemble and replace the friction disc 5.
[0034] Specifically, a connecting neck 72 is opened at the bottom of the separation box 7. A connecting cover 73 is threadedly installed on the connecting neck 72. A filtering member 74 is installed at one end of the connecting cover 73 away from the separation box 7.
[0035] When the suction component 8 sucks the water and algae into the separation box 7, the water is filtered by the filtering member 74 and flows out naturally downward. The algae are intercepted by the filtering member 74 in the separation box 7. By setting the connecting cover 73 to be threadedly installed on the connecting neck 72, unscrewing the connecting cover 73 can take out the algae in the separation box 7.
[0036] It should be particularly noted that the specific installation method of the motor 32, the connection method of the oil circuit, and the control method adopted in the present utility model are all conventional designs, and the present utility model will not be elaborated in detail.
[0037] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present utility model.
