TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pipeline sampling equipment, in particular to an automatic sampler. BACKGROUND

[0002] A pipeline sampler is a device used in the industrial field, especially in the petroleum, chemical and other industries, to collect fluid samples from the pipeline. It is designed to obtain representative samples without interrupting fluid delivery, ensuring the accuracy of analysis. Generally, the pipeline sampler has anti-freezing and anti-theft features, and does not need to empty the pipeline before sampling. Its working principle may include special switching mechanisms such as special screws and valve needles, as well as sealing components to ensure safe and effective sampling.

[0003] In order to sample the material in the pipeline, a sampling device special for pipeline is disclosed in the prior art, which comprises a sampling section, both ends of the sampling section are coaxially connected with flanges for butt joint with material conveying pipelines on both sides; an extension pipe is in communication with the sampling section, the extension pipe extends into the inner cavity of the sampling section, and the upper end of the part of the extension pipe extending into the inner cavity of the sampling section is open, and a blocking cover is detachably connected to the end of the extension pipe away from the sampling section; a material taking valve plate is slidingly connected in the extension pipe; a driving rod passes through the blocking cover and is slidingly connected with the blocking cover, the driving rod is coaxially arranged with the extension pipe, and the driving rod is connected with the material taking valve.

[0004] In view of the related technology in the above, when sampling is performed using the sampling device disclosed in the above prior art, the driving rod is first used to apply force to the material taking valve, so that the material taking valve slides along the axial direction of the extension pipe until it slides into the inner cavity of the sampling section. At this time, the material enters between the material taking valve and the blocking cover through the upper end opening of the extension pipe. Then, the driving rod is retracted and the material taking valve is used to bring the material into the inner cavity of the extension pipe. Then, the blocking cover is opened to take out the collected material. However, by the above method for sampling, when the blocking cover is opened to take out the material in the extension pipe, there is a high possibility of material spilling, and when the material in the extension pipe is taken out, a tool needs to be inserted into the extension pipe, which is relatively cumbersome to operate.
