Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of geotechnical engineering exploration technology, specifically relating to a shallow soil sampling device. Background Technology

[0002] In geotechnical engineering investigation and geotechnical testing, sampling and analysis of shallow soil layers is a crucial means of obtaining engineering geological information. Traditional soil sampling methods, such as manual excavation or the use of heavy machinery, often suffer from low sampling efficiency, complex operation, and difficulty in adapting to different terrains and soil conditions. Portable shallow soil sampling devices can quickly and accurately obtain shallow soil samples without damaging the soil structure, providing strong support for scientific research and engineering practice. The main technical challenges in developing shallow soil sampling devices include: low sampling efficiency: traditional sampling methods are often inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale, rapid sampling; soil structural integrity: soil structure has a significant impact on soil physical and mechanical properties, permeability, etc. The sampling device should minimize damage to the soil structure during sampling to maintain the original state of the soil sample; and terrain adaptability: different terrains and soil conditions place different requirements on the sampling device. Existing sampling devices are not suitable for soils with different hardness, moisture and particle size; poor portability: due to the complex geological conditions, engineering surveys often require manual carrying of sampling devices for field operations, but the existing devices have a relatively complex structure and are difficult to operate and maintain.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a portable shallow soil sampling device, including a power module, a fixing module, a main drill rod, and a soil sampling module. The power module consists of an air hammer 1, a solenoid valve 4, a time delay relay 5, and an air compressor 6. One end of the solenoid valve 4 is connected to the air hammer 1 via a first air supply pipe equipped with a switch, and the other end of the solenoid valve 4 is connected to the air compressor 6 via a second air supply pipe. A switch can also be installed on the second air supply pipe to adjust the air flow rate as needed. The time delay relay 5 is connected to both sides of the solenoid valve 4 via wires to control the working time, hammering force, and vibration frequency of the air hammer 1. Specifically, the air compressor 6 provides airflow to the solenoid valve 4 through the first air supply pipe, and the solenoid valve 4 provides the received airflow to the air hammer 1 through the second air supply pipe. The air hammer 1 generates a hammering impact force based on the input air pressure and flow rate, and vibrates at a certain frequency. Solenoid valve 4 indirectly affects the hammering force of air hammer 1 by controlling the opening and closing time of the airflow channel set on the first air supply pipe. By switching on and off, it adjusts the airflow interval, thereby changing the vibration frequency of air hammer 1. Time delay relay 5 controls the working time of air hammer 1 by setting its overall operating time. By adjusting the on and off time interval of time delay relay 5, it indirectly affects the switching frequency of solenoid valve 4, thereby affecting the airflow supply. Air compressor 6 compresses air and delivers it to solenoid valve 4 and air hammer 1 through the first air supply pipe, ensuring the stability and continuity of the drilling process. A level bubble 2 is set on the surface of the base of air hammer 1 to adjust the levelness of the sampling device and ensure the verticality of the drilling. The main drill rod includes a connecting slider 7 and a drill pipe 9. The drill pipe 9 has graduated lines on its surface to determine the drilling depth. The upper end of the drill pipe 9 is connected to the base of the air hammer 1 via anchor bolts 3, i.e., the drill pipe 9 and the base of the air hammer 1 are connected by threads. The air hammer 1 and its base are connected by anchor bolts 3. The middle part of the drill pipe 9 has a groove of a certain length for engaging with the flange of the connecting slider 7 to form a snap-fit ​​connection. The connecting slider 7 can move along its length in the groove of the drill pipe 9 according to the required fixed height for sampling to determine the fixed position. The lower end of the drill pipe 9 is connected to the soil sampling module 10. The lower part of the soil sampling module 10 is designed with serrated blades for easy cutting into the soil, and the blades are designed to be detachable for easy replacement or maintenance by personnel as needed. The fixing device includes at least three fixing tubes 8 and a rivet pulley integrated structure, which are connected by a buckle. In this utility model, three tubes are preferred and are evenly arranged around the drilling tube 9. The fixing tube 8 is a hollow steel tube. Its upper part is bolted to the connecting slider 7, and its lower two sides have openings 16 to facilitate the subsequent insertion of connecting bolts at these openings.

[0042] like Figure 3As shown, the rivet-pulley integrated structure includes a telescopic rod 11, a rivet 12, a bolting channel 13, a fixing buckle 14, and a pulley 15. The telescopic rod 11 is placed inside the fixed tube 8. The lower part of the telescopic rod 11 is welded to the rivet 12, and its upper part is a free end, not connected to the slider 7. This arrangement facilitates insertion into the ground, enhances stability, provides anti-slip properties, adapts to complex terrain, and improves convenience. The bolting channel 13 is located at the top of the telescopic rod 11 but at the bottom of the fixed tube 8. As needed, several pairs of holes 16 are symmetrically opened along the height of the tube wall of the fixed tube 8 to adjust the height of the telescopic rod 11 at different positions. The diameter of the holes 16 is the same as the diameter of the bolting channel 13. During sampling, the bolting channel 13 is aligned with one pair of holes 16 in the fixed tube 8 to form a connecting channel. At this time, a bolt is inserted into the connecting channel to fix the telescopic rod 11, thereby determining the length of the telescopic rod 11. This length is determined according to the specific sampling site conditions. The pulley 15 is connected to the lower part of the fixed tube 8 through the fixed buckle 14. When fastened, the supporting rivet 12 on the upper part of the fixed buckle 14 makes the installation of the pulley convenient for moving the support and reduces the labor intensity of manual handling.

[0043] The sampling process of the shallow soil sampling device of this utility model includes the following steps: S1. Install the soil sampling module at the lower end of the drilling pipe of the main drill rod; S2. Place the sampling device at the sampling location and adjust the height, drilling depth, flatness and verticality of the sampling device during sampling.

[0044] S3. After adjustment, insert the rivets of the fixing module into the ground and insert the bolts into the bolting channel between the telescopic rod and the rivets of the fixing module to fix the length of the telescopic rod. After adjustment, start the air compressor of the power module. Adjust the solenoid valve and time delay relay of the power module according to the geological conditions of the sampling to control the vibration frequency and force of the air hammer. Start drilling and sampling. When the required depth is reached, turn off the air compressor and stop the air hammer from working.

[0045] S4. Gently pull out the drill pipe and extract the soil sample along with the soil sampling module;

[0046] S5. If sampling continues, repeat the above steps.

[0047] Specifically, the sampling process of the sampling device of this utility model is as follows:

[0048] First, install the soil sampling module 10 at the lower end of the drill pipe 9, and select a suitable serrated blade according to the sampling requirements. Place the device at the sampling site, and determine the height of the sampling device and the drilling depth by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 11 and the position of the connecting slider 7. At the same time, monitor the level bubble 2 to ensure the flatness of the device and the verticality during sampling. After determining the dimensions, insert the rivet 12 into the ground and insert the bolt into the bolting channel 13 to fix the length of the telescopic rod 11. After adjustment, start the air compressor 6, and adjust the solenoid valve 4 and the time delay relay 5 according to the geological conditions of the sampling to control the vibration frequency and force of the air hammer 1. Start drilling and sampling. When the scale line on the drill pipe 9 reaches the required depth, turn off the air compressor 6 and stop the operation of the air hammer 1. Gently pull out the drill pipe 9, and take out the soil sample together with the soil sampling module 10. If sampling continues, simply repeat the above steps. After sampling is completed, fasten the fixing buckle 14 to retract the rivet 12 into the fixing tube 8. The pulley 15 is located at the lower part of the fixing tube 8. After being stored properly, it is convenient for staff to transport the sampling device.
