Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid sampling equipment, in particular to a liquid sampler. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of product quality control and environmental monitoring, liquid sampling technology has a long development history and is closely related to multiple disciplines. From the initial simple manual sampling to modern automated sampling equipment, liquid sampling technology has undergone significant evolution. Early sampling methods relied on manual operation, which was not only inefficient but also difficult to ensure sampling accuracy and repeatability. With the progress of industrial automation and precision manufacturing technology, liquid samplers have gradually developed towards automation and intelligence, enabling more accurate and efficient sampling operations. However, despite continuous technological progress, liquid samplers still face some challenges in practical applications, especially the sampling requirements under multi-depth conditions.

[0003] Currently, there are some technical limitations in liquid samplers on the market. First of all, most existing samplers are designed for single-point or limited multi-point sampling, making it difficult to meet the complex sampling requirements of multi-depth. For example, the sampler described in the patent with the publication number CN220170638U can achieve continuous sampling from three points at a time. If the number of sampling points increases, its structure needs to be changed, which not only increases the complexity of operation but also raises the cost.

[0004] Secondly, there are defects in the existing technology for dealing with the problem of air discharge in the container. It is difficult for the existing technology to discharge the air entering the container. The pressure difference generated by the air can block the liquid from entering the sampler, resulting in a limited amount of liquid entering the container.

[0005] In addition, there are also deficiencies in the existing samplers in determining the sampling position depth. Most devices can only provide a rough estimate and lack accuracy, which is particularly prominent in scientific research and industrial applications that require precise control of the sampling depth.

[0006] These deficiencies in the existing technology directly lead to low efficiency and high cost in the sampling process, and also limit the application of samplers in a wider range of fields. For example, in environmental monitoring, it is necessary to continuously sample at different depths in rivers, reservoirs, etc. to obtain more comprehensive water quality data, and the existing technology is difficult to meet this requirement. Sampling from storage tanks of food and chemical products, precise control of the sampling depth is important for ensuring product quality, but the existing technology often cannot provide sufficient accuracy. The existence of these problems highlights the urgent need for new liquid sampler technology.

[0007] This solution aims to solve the technical problems of existing liquid samplers in continuous sampling at multiple depths, air discharge, and precise control of sampling depth. Specifically, the problems to be solved by this solution include: how to design a sampler that can adapt to different depths and environmental conditions to achieve continuous and multi-point precise sampling; how to effectively discharge the air in the container during the sampling process to ensure that a sufficient amount of sample can smoothly enter the container; and how to improve the measurement accuracy of the sampling depth to meet the high standards required in scientific research and industrial applications. Solving these problems is of great significance for improving the efficiency, accuracy, and application scope of liquid sampling. Summary of the Utility Model

The plurality of sampling sub-buckets 1 are connected in series up and down by internal and external screws. A top cover 8 is connected to the top of the uppermost first sampling sub-bucket 1. A rope loop 2 is arranged at the center of the top of the top cover 8. A rope is connected to the rope loop 2, and the rope passes through the rope loop and is knotted and tied;

[0033] External threads 102 are provided on the outer walls of the tops of the sampling sub-buckets 1, and internal threads 101 are provided on the inner walls of the bottoms. Adjacent sampling sub-buckets 1 are connected by the thread matching between the internal thread 101 and the external thread 102;

[0034] This solution can connect the corresponding number of sampling sub-buckets according to the number of sampling points without replacing the entire sampling system. Users do not need to invest a large amount of cost at one time to purchase too many sampling devices, and can increase or decrease the number of sampling sub-buckets according to the number of sampling points, thereby reducing the initial investment cost.

[0035] Each sampling sub-bucket 1 is provided with an independent sampling inlet pipe 4 and an exhaust pipe 5. A micro solenoid valve 6 is connected to the sampling inlet pipe 4, and a filter screen can be provided at the outer end of the micro solenoid valve as needed. A micro vacuum pump 7 is connected to the exhaust pipe 5. Both the micro solenoid valve 6 and the micro vacuum pump 7 are electrically connected to an external controller.

[0036] The sampling inlet pipe 4 is located at the bottom of the sampling sub-bucket 1, and the exhaust pipe 5 is located at the top of the sampling sub-bucket 1.

[0037] Internal threads 101 matching the external threads 102 on the top of the sampling sub-bucket 1 are provided on the inner wall of the bottom of the top cover 8. The top cover 8 and the uppermost first sampling sub-bucket 1 are connected by the thread matching between the internal thread 101 and the external thread 102.

[0038] A bucket bottom 3 is provided at the bottom of the sampling sub-bucket 1. An annular sealing gasket groove 103 is formed on the inner wall of the sampling sub-bucket 1 below the bucket bottom 3. An annular sealing gasket is arranged in the sealing gasket groove 103. The sealing gasket closely adheres to the sealing gasket groove 103 and closely fits with the bucket bottom 3 of the sampling sub-bucket 1.

[0039] An annular sealing gasket groove 103 is formed on the inner wall of the top cover 8. An annular sealing gasket is arranged in the sealing gasket groove 103. The sealing gasket closely adheres to the sealing gasket groove 103 and closely fits with the top plate of the top cover 8.

[0040] The sealing gasket fits tightly in the sealing gasket groove and closely adheres to the bottom of the sampling sub-barrel or the top plate of the top cover, without falling off. The sampling sub-barrel is easy to disassemble and connect, and different numbers of sampling sub-barrels can be connected as needed to achieve continuous sampling at different depths. The top of the external male thread for connection of the sampling sub-barrel located below tightly adheres to the sealing gasket at the bottom of the upper sampling sub-barrel, and the top of the external male thread for connection of the first sampling sub-barrel at the uppermost part tightly adheres to the sealing gasket below the top plate of the top cover.

[0044] In this solution, the micro solenoid valve 6 is used to control the liquid entering the sampling sub-barrel 1, ensuring the controllability of the sampling process, improving the sampling efficiency and reducing manual intervention. The amount of liquid entering the sampling sub-barrel can also be controlled by controlling the opening time of the solenoid valve 6.

[0045] When sampling from a specific depth is required, first, a signal is sent through the external controller to control the micro solenoid valve 6 to open. At the same time, the micro vacuum pump 7 is started, and the air in the sampling sub-barrel 1 is pumped out through the exhaust pipe 5 to create a negative pressure environment for the liquid to enter.

[0046] As the air in the sampling sub-barrel 1 is discharged, the liquid enters the sampling sub-barrel 1 through the sampling tube 4 under the action of the pressure difference.

[0047] When the liquid in the sampling sub-barrel 1 reaches the required amount or reaches the preset sampling time, the external controller will send a signal to close the micro solenoid valve 6, cut off the liquid inflow, and at the same time stop the operation of the micro vacuum pump 7 to complete the sampling process.

[0048] During the sampling process, the sealing performance of the micro solenoid valve 6 and the micro vacuum pump 7, and the sealing gaskets at the bottom of the sampling sub-barrel 1 and the top cover 8 can ensure the isolation of the sampling sub-barrel 1 from the external environment, avoiding the mixing of samples at different depths.

[0049] Embodiment 2

[0050] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the tether loop 2 is fixed to the top of the top cover 8 by welding or by screws.
