[0003] For example, the soil test ring knife sampler with the application number CN202222634251.8, the sampler includes a pad and a pressure rod on the upper side of the pad, the lower side of the pressure rod is connected with an auxiliary block, wherein the pressure rod is a labor-saving lever, the undisturbed soil sample is placed on the pad during use, the ring knife is placed on the upper side of the undisturbed soil sample at the sampling position, then the pressure rod is pressed manually, the lower side of the auxiliary block contacts the upper side of the ring knife, and the pressure is continuously applied, and the ring knife is quickly cut into the undisturbed soil sample by the auxiliary block.

[0004] The lower side of the auxiliary block is a plane to facilitate the accurate contact between the lower side of the auxiliary block and the upper side of the ring knife, which improves the accuracy during contact, but the position of the ring knife is easily deviated at the moment of pressing the pressure rod, thereby affecting the sampling accuracy, in addition, the ring knife may not be completely cut into the undisturbed soil sample when the undisturbed soil sample is thick, the undisturbed soil sample on the upper side of the ring knife contacts the auxiliary block, and the undisturbed soil sample is disturbed during the continuous pressing process, thereby affecting the test accuracy.

[0027] As the core technical concept of the utility model, the lower end of the auxiliary block 21 of the sampling device is provided with a protruding head 22, the outer circle of which is connected with a connecting ring 3, and the inner circle of the lower end of the connecting ring 3 is provided with an annular groove 31 matched with the outer circle of the upper end of the ring cutter 4, the design of the above connecting structure enables the ring cutter 4 to stably cut into the undisturbed soil sample without position change, thereby improving the sampling accuracy; at the same time, the gap between the bottom surface of the protruding head 22 and the top surface of the ring cutter 4 is greater than zero, and the minimum inner diameter of the connecting ring 3 is not less than the inner diameter of the ring cutter 4, the above design ensures that there is a gap between the protruding head 22 and the ring cutter 4 for accommodating the undisturbed soil sample to extend in when the ring cutter 4 cuts into the undisturbed soil sample, so that the undisturbed soil sample will not be subjected to additional resistance, avoiding disturbance and thereby improving the accuracy of the test.

[0028] According to needs, in a preferred embodiment, the pressing mechanism can also be other structures capable of pushing the ring cutter 4 to cut into the undisturbed soil sample to save labor and effort, for example, a hand-operated press 2 or an electric press or a shear jack, in the embodiment, the hand-operated press 2 is preferred for the convenience of manual control by the operator.

[0029] Specifically, as Figure 1As shown, the upper end of the auxiliary block 21 is threadedly connected with the lower end of the lower pressing head of the manual pressing machine 2 for easy disassembly, the lower side of the auxiliary block 21 and the groove bottom of the annular groove 31 of the connecting ring 3 are both flat, and the upper side of the connecting ring 3 is fitted with the lower side of the auxiliary block 21, and the upper side of the annular cutter 4 is fitted with the groove bottom of the annular groove 31. The above design can reduce the gap and shaking through the close fit between the connecting ring 3 and the auxiliary block 21 and the annular groove 31 of the connecting ring 3 and the annular cutter 4, thereby reducing the disturbance and deformation of the soil, and further obtaining a more real and accurate undisturbed soil sample, which helps to improve the reliability of the soil test results.

[0030] In combination Figure 2 In order to improve the reliability of the connection between the connecting ring 3 and the annular cutter 4, the thickness of the side wall where the annular groove 31 of the connecting ring 3 is located is not less than 0.5 mm, and the minimum inner diameter of the connecting ring 3 is greater than the inner diameter of the annular cutter 4, so as to further ensure that the annular cutter 4 will not be subjected to additional resistance when cutting into the undisturbed soil sample, thereby avoiding disturbance to the undisturbed soil sample, and further helping to improve the accuracy of the test.

[0031] According to the needs, in a preferred embodiment, the gap between the bottom of the convex head 22 and the annular cutter 4 is not less than 1 cm, and by reserving at least 1 cm space between the bottom of the convex head 22 and the top of the annular cutter 4, it is ensured that during the process of cutting the annular cutter 4 into the undisturbed soil sample, the undisturbed soil sample can be stretched out of the annular cutter 4, and the undisturbed soil sample can not be disturbed by extrusion, that is, the accuracy of sampling and testing after sampling is improved.
