[0022] Specifically, the sampler module 1 includes a base 13, a porous sampling head 11 and a culture dish 12. The porous sampling head 11 is covered on the base 13 to form a sampling space and cover the culture dish 12. The bottom plate 131 of the base 13 is connected with a downwardly extending air outlet pipe 132 in communication. Here, the connection can be an integrated molding connection or a detachable connection. The air outlet pipe 132 is connected in communication with the air extraction device 2. A plurality of supporting legs 133 are arranged around the inlet end of the air outlet pipe 132 on the bottom plate 131. The culture dish 12 is installed on the supporting legs 133. It can be understood that the inlet end of the air outlet pipe 132 refers to the inlet of the air flow into the air outlet pipe during the operation of the planktonic bacteria sampler.

[0023] As an optional embodiment, the bottom plate of the base 13 has a through opening, and a downwardly extending air outlet pipe 132 is connected in communication with the opening, where the opening is in communication with the inlet end of the air outlet pipe 132; the air outlet pipe 132 is connected in communication with the air suction device 2, where the air outlet pipe 132 can be directly connected with the air suction device 2 or connected in communication with the air suction device 2 through a connecting pipe. It can be understood that the pipeline between the inlet end of the air outlet pipe 132 and the air inlet of the air suction device 2 is the airflow pipeline 5, which includes the air outlet pipe 132. When the air outlet pipe 132 is directly connected with the air suction device 2, the air outlet pipe 132 is the airflow pipeline 5.

[0028] The sampler module 1 further comprises a cover 14 which is detachably installed on the inlet end of the sampling pipe 13, and it can be understood that the cover 14 is arranged on the top of the multi-hole sampling head 11 and is removed in use.

[0029] As an implementable mode, the multi-hole sampling head 11 is a cylinder-like shape, has an opening at the bottom, and the bottom plate 131 of the base 13 can form a step at the edge, and the cylinder-like multi-hole sampling head 11 can be fitted on the step of the bottom plate 131 through the bottom opening, and the top can be a concave sampling head, the top of the sampling head has a plurality of uniformly distributed holes 111, and the cover 14 is arranged on the multi-hole sampling head 11 in the non-working state, i.e. on the airflow inlet end of the multi-hole sampling head 11.
