[0033] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , on the basis of the above embodiments, it further includes a warning light 9. The warning light 9 is arranged on the housing 1.

[0038] In summary, when a drinking water source sample collection device is in use, the collection device is placed on the water surface through the handle 13, and the support floating plate 12 is used to make the device float on the water surface. The controller is signal-connected to the device. The controller is provided with a display screen and several function keys. The first motor 206 is controlled by the controller to rotate, and the rotation of the propeller is realized through the transmission of the first bevel gear set 204 and the second bevel gear set 205, so that the collection device moves on the water surface. When the collection device moves, the surrounding environment is observed or monitored through the camera module 11 above the housing 1, so as to stop or turn at an appropriate position. When turning is required, the second motor 301 is controlled by the controller to rotate. The second motor 301 drives the worm gear 303 and the worm 302 to rotate, and then the sleeve 201 and the propeller rotate, so as to change the moving direction of the collection device. When the moving direction is determined, the second motor 301 is turned off by the controller. After the collection device moves to the specified position, the first motor 206 is turned off by the controller. At this time, a signal is sent to the control box 4 through the controller, and the control box 4 controls the third motor 501 to drive the wire winding wheel 503 to rotate. While the wire winding wheel 503 rotates, the cable 6 will be released, and the submersible pump 7 and the collection bottle 8 will be moved towards the deeper position of the water source. The controller is provided with buttons for controlling the number of rotations of the third motor 501. For example, 5 circles means the third motor 501 rotates five circles, and 10 circles means the third motor 501 rotates ten circles. The cable 6 is provided with scales. By the initial length when the submersible pump 7 extends out of the housing 1 and the selected number of rotation circles, the position of how many meters deep in the water source where the water source sample is collected can be roughly judged. When the third motor 501 completes the specified number of circles, the controller will remind the user by the flashing of the indicator light, indicating that the submersible pump 7 has moved to the specified position. At this time, a signal is sent to the control box 4 through the controller, and the control box 4 is used to start the submersible pump 7 to extract the water source sample. After waiting for a period of time, the extracted water source sample is filled into the collection bottle 8. Subsequently, the third motor 501 is reversed by the controller, and the same number of circles is selected. When the indicator light flashes again, the collection device is moved close to the shore by the driving assembly 2, the steering assembly 3 and the camera module 11. The user can obtain the collected water source sample by removing the collection bottle 8 from the submersible pump 7. The whole process of collecting the water source sample does not require the user to be in close contact, effectively avoiding the occurrence of safety accidents. At the same time, the storage assembly 5 can be used to sample at different depths of the water source, and the overall use range is wider.
