DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0029] Embodiment: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A water cruising robot with automatic sampling function, comprising a robot main body 1, which can cruise according to a predetermined route and monitor water surface conditions in real time. This is prior art and will not be described here.

[0030] The present embodiment also comprises an automatic take-up and pay-off machine 2, an outer cylinder 4, an inner cylinder 5, a plurality of water storage cavities 7 and sampling ports 9, which are used to solve the problem in the prior art that multiple container lowering and sampling are required if samples at different depths are needed.

[0031] The automatic take-up and pay-off machine 2 is installed on the top of the robot main body 1, and a cable 3 is arranged on the reel of the automatic take-up and pay-off machine 2. The outer cylinder 4 is connected to the end of the cable 3. When the automatic take-up and pay-off machine 2 works, the cable 3 can be taken up and paid off, so that the outer cylinder 4 can be lowered to different depths in the water body or taken out of the water body.

[0032] In this embodiment, a handle 10 is rotatably connected to the upper end near the outer cylinder 4. The handle 10 is U-shaped, which facilitates manual lifting of the outer cylinder 4 and makes it easy to pour out the sample from the water storage chamber 7. The end of the cable 3 is fixed to the handle 10, thereby enabling the outer cylinder 4 to be lifted and lowered.

[0033] To address the issue in existing technologies where multiple container drops are required for sampling at different depths, the following design was implemented:

[0034] The inner cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the outer cylinder 4. A drive mechanism 6 is provided at the bottom of the outer cylinder 4 to drive the inner cylinder 5 to rotate along its own axis. Several water storage chambers 7 are arranged inside the inner cylinder 5 and spaced apart along the circumference of the inner cylinder 5 to store water samples at different depths. Water inlets 8 are provided on the side wall of the inner cylinder 5, communicating with each water storage chamber 7. The sampling port 9 is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder 4. When the sampling port 9 is aligned with a certain water inlet 8, the water sample can enter the corresponding water storage chamber 7 through the sampling port 9 and the water inlet 8.

[0035] With the above structure, when the outer cylinder 4 is lowered to different depths in the water, the inner cylinder 5 is rotated by the drive mechanism 6, so that the sampling port 9 is aligned with different water inlets 8, thereby allowing water at different depths to flow into different water storage chambers 7, and thus extracting water samples at different depths. This avoids lowering the outer cylinder 4 multiple times, saving time and labor.

[0036] It should be added that the upper end of the outer cylinder 4 has a clearance opening 11, the diameter of which is smaller than the outer diameter of the inner cylinder 5, making it difficult for the inner cylinder 5 to pass through the clearance opening 11. A drain pipe 12, communicating with each water storage chamber 7, is fixed to the upper end of the inner cylinder 5. Each drain pipe 12 extends vertically to the outside of the clearance opening 11, and a sealing cap 13 is detachably connected to the upper end of each drain pipe 12 for sealing. After sampling, opening the sealing cap 13 allows the water sample from the corresponding water storage chamber 7 to be poured out.

[0037] In this embodiment, the water inlet 8 is a strip-shaped structure arranged along the axial direction of the inner cylinder 5, which facilitates the entry of water into the water storage chamber 7. The sampling port 9 includes several holes spaced apart along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 4, which can both ensure that the water flows normally to the water inlet 8 and filter the water to prevent larger impurities in the water from entering the water storage chamber 7.

[0038] It should be added that a counterweight 14 is fixed to the bottom of the outer cylinder 4. The counterweight 14 is a cone shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, which facilitates the lowering of the outer cylinder 4 into different depths of water. An installation cavity 15 is provided inside the counterweight 14 for installing other components.

[0039] The following is a description of the drive mechanism 6:

[0040] The driving mechanism 6 comprises a motor 601 installed in the installation cavity 15, an output end of the motor 601 is drivingly connected with a rotating shaft 602, the rotating shaft 602 is arranged along the axis of the inner cylinder 5 and is fixed with the inner cylinder 5. When the motor 601 works, the inner cylinder 5 can be driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 602, so that the sampling port 9 can be aligned with different water inlets 8.

[0041] In the embodiment, a plurality of partitions 16 are fixed on the side wall of the rotating shaft 602 in a circumferential direction, each partition 16 is arranged along the radial direction of the inner cylinder 5. The upper and lower ends of each partition 16 and the end away from the rotating shaft 602 are fixed with the inner cylinder 5, the water storage cavity 7 is formed by the gap between the partition 16, the rotating shaft 602 and the inner cylinder 5, and is used for storing water samples, and the structure is simple and compact.

[0042] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply that there is any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "contain" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or equipment including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article or equipment. Without more limitations, the element defined by the statement "including a" does not exclude the presence of another identical element in the process, method, article or equipment including the element.

[0043] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
