[0003] Traditional oil tank sampling methods often involve manually climbing up the tank with a handheld sampler to collect samples. Manual sampling involves the operator ascending to the tank roof, accessing a pre-defined sampling port, and using a brass sampling bottle with a piston at the top. The bottle is secured with a rope tied at regular intervals. After lowering the bottle to the desired location, the rope is pulled upward to release the piston, allowing the oil at that location to flow into the bottle. The bottle is then removed using the rope and transferred to another sampling bottle. This process is repeated multiple times to collect oil from different locations.
[0004] This traditional manual sampling method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to control in terms of sampling accuracy. It is often subject to severe weather conditions such as rain, snow, and strong winds.

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Example
[0025] During the production, storage and transportation of petrochemicals, in order to obtain the physical properties and other parameters of the media in these storage tanks, sampling personnel need to climb to the top of the tank to perform manual sampling so that laboratory personnel can conduct timely analysis and testing. The traditional manual sampling method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the representativeness of the sampling is difficult to control, the sampling personnel have high labor intensity, and are often restricted by adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, and strong winds. In particular, flammable, explosive, toxic and harmful media will seriously threaten the life safety of the sampling personnel. In order to solve the existing problems, the present application provides a tank bottom sampling oil tank oil sampling device, such as Figure 1-4As shown, it includes a sampling mechanism 20, which includes a supporting platform 24 arranged on the outside of the oil tank 10. In order to take out the oil liquid in the sampler from the sampler, an air-operated diaphragm pump 23 is provided on the supporting platform 24.
