Because the soil itself has spatial distribution heterogeneity, therefore, a mixed sample should be obtained by taking samples from multiple points in a unit of land, so as to better represent the soil properties of the sampling area. The existing soil sampling is generally carried out by using a hand soil drill. A user manually holds a handle, and then uses body weight or a hammer to vertically insert a sampling part of the hand soil drill into the soil. After reaching the target depth, the user pulls out the hand soil drill from the soil through the handle.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Next, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The working principle of this embodiment will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can better understand this utility model:

[0024] A manual soil burr for easy sampling includes a sampling bracket 1, a sampling cylinder 2, a handle 3, a movable bracket 4, a push plate 5, and a lever lifting unit. The sampling cylinder 2 is mounted on one end of the sampling bracket 1. An observation window 6 is provided on the side wall of the sampling cylinder 2 to facilitate observation of the cross-section of the sampled soil and to facilitate subsequent cleaning of the sampling cylinder 2, preventing contamination from mixed samples. The handle 3 is horizontally and symmetrically mounted on the other end of the sampling bracket 1, controlling its movement. A through hole is provided inside the sampling bracket 1, extending through the entire bracket. The movable bracket 4 is slidably mounted within the through hole. A push plate 5 is mounted on the end of the movable bracket 4 closest to the sampling cylinder 2, and is slidably mounted inside the sampling cylinder 2. The push plate 5 is used to quickly remove the sample from the sampling cylinder 2, improving work efficiency. The lever lifting unit is mounted on the outer wall of the sampling bracket 1 to assist in lifting the sampling cylinder 2 from the soil, reducing the force required to lift the sampling cylinder 2 through leverage.

[0025] The lever lifting unit includes a first connecting rod 7, a second connecting rod 8, a locking block 9, a support cylinder 10, a limiting block 11, and a limiting cylinder 12. The limiting cylinder 12 is welded and fixedly installed on the outer wall of the middle part of the sampling bracket 1. A vertical sliding groove 13 and a horizontal sliding groove 14 are formed on the outer wall of the limiting cylinder 12. The horizontal sliding groove 14 is located at the end of the limiting cylinder 12 near the handle 3, and one end of the horizontal sliding groove 14 is connected to one end of the vertical sliding groove 13. The support cylinder 10 is slidably fitted onto the limiting cylinder 12. The limiting block 11 is installed on the inner wall of the support cylinder 10 and is slidably installed in the vertical sliding groove 13 and the horizontal sliding groove 14. The initial position of the limiting block 11 is located in the horizontal sliding groove 14, restricting the vertical movement of the support cylinder 10. The inner diameter of the support cylinder 10 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the sampling cylinder 2 to avoid interference between the support cylinder 10 and the sampling cylinder 2. The middle part of the first connecting rod 7 is rotatably mounted on the outer side wall of the support cylinder 10. One end of the first connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod 8. The other end of the second connecting rod 8 is rotatably mounted with a locking block 9, which is used to engage with the handle 3. The distance between the connection point of the first connecting rod 7 and the support cylinder 10 and the second connecting rod 8 is less than half the length of the first connecting rod 7.

[0026] After the user inserts the sampling tube 2 into the target depth of the soil, the limiting block 11 can be rotated to move it away from the horizontal chute 14 and into the vertical chute 13. Then, the support tube 10 is lowered until it contacts the ground. The first connecting rod 7, the second connecting rod 8, and the locking block 9 are then rotated to engage the locking block 9 with the handle 3. At this point, pressing down on the end of the first connecting rod 7 away from the second connecting rod 8 will push the handle 3 upward, thereby moving the entire sampling bracket 1 upward and finally lifting the sampling tube 2 to the soil. Since the distance from the connection point of the first connecting rod 7 and the support tube 10 to the second connecting rod 8 is less than half the length of the first connecting rod 7, the force required to lift the sampling tube 2 is reduced to save leverage, thus lowering the difficulty of use compared to existing manual soil drills.

[0027] The end of the support cylinder 10 near the sampling cylinder 2 is provided with a flange to increase the contact area with the ground, so as to prevent the support cylinder 10 from sinking into the soil under pressure.

[0028] Multiple reinforcing ribs 15 are arranged circumferentially around the axis of the sampling cylinder 2 on its inner wall to increase its strength and prevent deformation during entry into the soil. The reinforcing ribs 15 have a semi-circular cross-section, and the push plate 5 has a semi-circular groove 16 corresponding to the reinforcing ribs 15. The movable support 4 is rotatably connected to the push plate 5. The reinforcing ribs 15 are positioned inside the sampling cylinder 2 to avoid resistance during rotation between the sampling cylinder 2 and the soil. The semi-circular reinforcing ribs 15 reduce frictional resistance between the sample and the sampling cylinder 2.

[0029] The sampling bracket 1 has multiple positioning grooves 17 and connecting grooves 18 near the handle 3. Each positioning groove 17 is perpendicular to the connecting groove 18, and one end of each positioning groove 17 is connected to the connecting groove 18. A positioning block 19 is installed on the side wall of the movable bracket 4, slidingly mounted within the positioning grooves 17 and connecting grooves. Reference scales are provided on the outer side wall of the sampling bracket 1, corresponding one-to-one with the positioning grooves 17. Before use, the positioning block 19 is inserted into the positioning groove 17 corresponding to the target depth scale, limiting the distance between the push plate 5 and the opening of the sampling cylinder 2. Then, keeping the sampling bracket 1 perpendicular to the ground, the handle 3 is pushed downwards. When the push plate 5 contacts the soil, it will prevent the sampling cylinder 2 from further penetrating the soil. At this point, the user can stop pushing the handle 3, and the sampling cylinder 2 will reach the precise sampling depth. Compared to existing manual soil drills, this invention achieves precise depth sampling, avoids repeated adjustments, and improves work efficiency.

[0030] The positioning grooves 17 are arranged in a staggered array. This arrangement avoids excessive strength reduction in the sampling bracket 1 due to overly concentrated positioning grooves 17, which could lead to deformation. A magnet is embedded in the end of the positioning groove 17 furthest from the connecting groove 18. The positioning block 19 is made of a magnetizable metal to prevent the moving bracket 4 from rotating during use, thus preventing the push plate 5 from leaving its set position and ensuring stable operation. The horizontal groove 14 and the limiting block 11 can also use the same structure to prevent rotation.

[0031] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it is obvious that many changes and variations can be made based on the above teachings. Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
