[0031] Further, the end of the second horizontal pipe 12 away from the pipeline fan 9 is provided with a pipe unit, which comprises a tee pipe 19 fixed to the end of the second horizontal pipe 12 away from the pipeline fan 9, a first valve 20 fixed to the bottom end of the tee pipe 19, a second hose 21 arranged below the first valve 20, two second quick couplings 22 connected to the two ends of the second hose 21, a second elbow 23 fixed to the end of one of the second quick couplings 22 away from the second hose 21, the second elbow 23 being fixedly connected with the tank body 1 and communicating with the inside of the tank body 1, the second elbow 23 being fixedly connected with the first valve 20 at the end of the other second quick coupling 22 away from the second hose 21, and a vertical pipe 24 fixed to the top end of the tee pipe 19, the vertical pipe 24 being provided with a second valve 25.

[0032] In the specific implementation process, it is particularly worth pointing out that the tee pipe 19 is made of stainless steel and has three connection ports connected with the second horizontal pipe 12, the first valve 20 and the vertical pipe 24 respectively, the first valve 20 and the second valve 25 are both manually controlled valves, and the sampling personnel can control the opening and closing of the valves by rotating the valve handles to adjust the flow direction and flow rate of the air flow, the second hose 21 is made of flexible pressure-resistant material and can withstand certain pressure changes, the second quick couplings 22 are also designed to be quickly connected and disconnected, which is convenient for the sampling personnel to operate, the second elbow 23 is made of stainless steel and ensures smooth communication with the inside of the tank body 1, and the vertical pipe 24 is made of stainless steel and has its top end connected with the outside air to provide an air inlet or air outlet channel for the device.

[0033] Further, the top end of the vertical pipe 24 is provided with a filter disc 26, the outer side of the filter disc 26 is sleeved with a screw cap 27, the screw cap 27 is threadedly connected with the vertical pipe 24, the top end of the screw cap 27 is provided with an opening, and the screw cap 27 abuts against the filter disc 26.

[0034] In the specific implementation process, it is particularly worth pointing out that the filter disc 26 is made of high-efficiency filtering material and can filter out dust and impurities in the outside air entering the device to ensure the cleanliness of the air inside the soft bag 4, the threaded connection between the screw cap 27 and the vertical pipe 24 allows the sampling personnel to conveniently disassemble and install the filter disc 26 for cleaning or replacement, and the opening design at the top end of the screw cap 27 allows the air to smoothly enter the inside of the vertical pipe 24 while preventing the filter disc 26 from being displaced or falling off under the action of the air flow.

[0036] In the process of implementation, it is particularly worth pointing out that the sealing ring 28 is made of rubber material, which has good elasticity and sealing performance. When the tank cover 2 is connected with the tank body 1 through thread, the sealing ring 28 will be compressed between the two, forming a tight sealing barrier to prevent external air or moisture from entering the tank body 1, thereby protecting the ore sample 3 from pollution or damage.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] Ore sample storage operation:

[0039] The sampling personnel first put the ore sample 3 into the tank body 1, then thread the tank cover 2 with the tank body 1, then connect the first hose 5 with the first quick connector 6, press the control switch 11 to close it, and let the battery 10 power the pipeline fan 9. After the pipeline fan 9 runs, quickly open the first valve 20 to suck the residual air in the tank body 1 and inject it into the soft bag 4, so that the tank body 1 is in a negative pressure environment, which is conducive to the quality storage of the ore sample 3. If the residual air in the tank body 1 cannot meet the needs of the soft bag 4 to expand against the ore sample 3, the first valve 20 can be closed and the second valve 25 can be opened to suck in external air. During this period, external air can be injected into the soft bag 4 through the first horizontal pipe 8, the first hose 5 and the first elbow pipe 7. The internal pressure of the soft bag 4 rises and the volume expands, thereby wrapping and pressing the ore sample 3 in the tank body 1, realizing the safe storage of fragile ore. The sampling personnel only need to carry the storage device without the need to carry additional buffer protection parts, and the operation is simple and efficient.

[0040] Soft bag protection operation:

[0041] The surface of the soft bag 4 close to the ore sample 3 is provided with a protective layer 16, which can effectively block the sharp part of the ore sample 3 to prevent it from scratching the soft bag 4, facilitating long-term use of the storage device. The spun yarn 18 required to make the protective layer 16 is made of aramid filament 181 and elastic filament 182 twisted connection, which can not only block the sharp part of the ore sample 3, but also meet the needs of the elastic deformation of the soft bag 4.

[0042] Ore sample information recording in the tank body:

[0043] The sampling personnel can record the information such as the type of ore sample 3, the sampling time and the sampling place on the recording paper 14, and then put the recording paper 14 into the transparent cover 13 for storage, which is convenient for subsequent quick understanding of the information of the ore sample 3 in the tank body 1.

[0044] Subsequent ore sample removal operation:

[0045] When the user separates the first hose 5 from the first quick connector 6 and separates the second hose 21 from the second quick connector 22, the air pressure inside the soft bag 4 is equal to the atmospheric pressure, the soft bag 4 no longer tightly wraps the ore sample 3, and the air pressure inside the tank body 1 is also equal to the atmospheric pressure, so the tank cover 2 can be smoothly rotated counterclockwise, and the ore sample 3 can be taken out from the tank body 1.

[0046] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
