[0030] Furthermore, specific details are provided in the following description to facilitate a thorough understanding of the examples. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the described aspects can be practiced without these specific details.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a wastewater testing sampling gun of this application includes a sampling tube 1, a telescopic rod structure 2, a detachable filter device 3, a stirrer 4, and an anti-backflow valve 5.

[0032] Sampling tube 1 is used to store wastewater samples. Its design requires sufficient corrosion resistance and pressure resistance to ensure normal operation even in harsh environments. Telescopic rod structure 2 is connected to sampling tube 1 and can be freely adjusted according to the required sampling depth, allowing for flexible operation by extending or shortening it. For example, telescopic rod structure 2 can be connected to sampling tube 1 via a piston structure to guide wastewater into sampling tube 1.

[0033] The detachable filter device 3 is located at the inlet of one end of the sampling tube 1. This device consists of multiple filter layers 6, arranged from coarse to fine along the direction of wastewater flow. This ensures that large solid particles are gradually removed from the wastewater entering the sampling tube 1, thus preventing clogging. Each filter layer can be independently disassembled and cleaned, effectively improving the equipment's lifespan and efficiency.

[0034] A stirrer 4 is placed inside the sampling tube 1 and is driven by an external power source. Its main function is to agitate the wastewater during extraction, ensuring better sample representativeness. The stirrer 4 is designed to balance agitation intensity and uniformity, and can be started and stopped as needed during sampling via an external control unit. This not only improves the solid-liquid mixing effect but also reduces power consumption, enhancing the economy and practicality of sampling.

[0035] The anti-backflow valve 5 is installed at the end of the sampling tube 1 closest to the user. Its design purpose is to prevent wastewater from flowing back into the sampling gun when suction stops, thus preventing sample contamination and machine damage. The anti-backflow valve 5 typically employs a one-way valve structure, automatically closing when water flow ceases to ensure system cleanliness and safety.

[0036] Specifically, sampling tube 1 can be made of highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel to ensure stable operation in complex wastewater environments. The telescopic rod structure 2 can be length-adjusted via a built-in telescopic slide rail and locking device. The slide rail surface is treated to reduce frictional resistance, and the locking device is simple, reliable, and easy to operate.

[0037] The detachable filter device 3 features multi-stage filter layers 6 that can utilize filter screens of different pore sizes. The filter screen material can be selected from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and nylon, depending on the requirements. Each filter screen layer is equipped with a seal to ensure step-by-step filtration of water. The filter device's inlet and outlet are equipped with quick-connect fittings for easy and rapid installation and removal, facilitating maintenance.

[0038] The agitator 4 is driven by a motor, which is connected to the sampling gun body via a waterproof sealing joint. The agitator 4 blades feature a spiral design, generating effective vortices during sampling to promote uniform mixing of the wastewater. The control unit has one-button start and timed stop functions, allowing users to adjust the mixing time according to their needs.

[0039] The backflow prevention valve 5 can be a one-way valve structure made of silicone material. An internal spring ensures that it automatically opens when water flows through and closes when water flow stops. The one-way valve is installed inside the sampling tube 1, near the operator, and secured with fasteners. Installation is simple, and the valve provides a good seal, ensuring reliable backflow prevention.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The multi-stage filtration layer 6 in the wastewater testing sampling gun of this application includes at least three filtration components, each with a different preset maximum filtration pore size. The specific configuration of this multi-stage filtration layer 6 is designed to effectively avoid the clogging problem that easily occurs when processing high-density solids in a single-pore size design. Specifically, the first-stage filtration layer, i.e., the coarse filtration layer, is designed with the largest filtration pore size, 3 mm; the second-stage filtration layer, i.e., the secondary filtration layer, has a smaller filtration pore size, 2 mm; and the third-stage filtration layer, as the finest stage, further reduces the pore size to 1 mm. This step-by-step filtration design not only effectively filters solid particles of different sizes but also gradually reduces the filter element load, extending the service life of the entire filtration system.

[0041] In one embodiment, a wastewater sampling gun of this application has a water spray pipe 7 located inside the sampling tube 1 at a position corresponding to the multi-stage filter layer 6 (see...). Figure 2This design aims to improve equipment maintenance and prevent frequent clogging during sampling by supplying clean water from an external source to flush away large particulate solid contaminants adhering to the surface of the multi-stage filter layers 6. The sampling tube 1 is a key component of the entire sampling gun, containing multiple layers of filter material for initial purification of large particulate impurities in the wastewater. Opposite these filter layers, the spray pipe 7 is precisely positioned to ensure that the clean water it sprays effectively covers and flushes the surface of each filter layer.

[0042] Specifically, the water spray pipe 7 is arranged axially along the sampling pipe 1 and parallel to the multi-stage filter layer 6. Several small spray holes are distributed on the water spray pipe 7, evenly distributed around the pipe to ensure that the sprayed clean water fully covers each filter layer. More specifically, spray holes can be located between the multi-stage filter layers 6. After sampling is completed, by connecting to an external clean water source and turning on the water spray pipe 7, high-pressure clean water is sprayed onto the surface of the multi-stage filter layer 6, thereby removing any large particulate solid contaminants that may be attached. For example, the design of the spray holes using a spiral distribution can increase the contact time and range between the clean water and the filter layer surface, further improving the cleaning effect. This design not only simplifies maintenance but also significantly improves the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a wastewater sampling gun of this application includes a unique stirrer 4 design. The stirrer 4 has reverse-flow blades 8 on its rotating part, which generate a reverse water flow during stirring, thereby preventing impurities from adhering to the filter screen and causing blockage during sampling. This design not only effectively improves sampling efficiency and sample quality but also plays an important role in wastewater environments with high concentrations of suspended solids and large particulate matter.

[0044] Specifically, the reverse thrust blade 8 is installed on the rotating part of the agitator 4 and is coaxially arranged with the main rotating shaft of the agitator 4. In one specific embodiment, the reverse thrust blade 8 is a reverse blade located at the end of the helical shaft, and the helical direction of the reverse blade is opposite to that of the helical blade. This structure allows the wastewater to be subjected to both the thrust of the helical blade and the reverse extrusion force of the reverse blade.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, a wastewater sampling gun of this application has a vent pipe 9 installed on its sampling tube 1. To prevent residual wastewater and sediment in the sampling tube 1 from clogging the filter during repeated use, the sampling gun is equipped with the vent pipe 9. The vent pipe 9 is installed close to the outlet end of the sampling tube 1 and communicates with the interior of the sampling tube 1. The function of the vent pipe 9 is to automatically activate after each sampling, briefly supplying compressed air to remove residual wastewater and sediment from the sampling tube 1, thereby ensuring unobstructed flow in the pipeline.

[0046] The design of the exhaust pipe 9 aims to reduce the accumulation of sediment inside the pipe and avoid blockage problems caused by long-term use. Specifically, one end of the exhaust pipe 9 is connected to an external compressed air source, and the other end extends into the sampling pipe 1 to ensure that the compressed air can directly act on the sewage and sediment inside the sampling pipe 1. This design allows for the effective removal of residues inside the pipe after each sampling by a brief high-pressure air flush, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the sampling process.

[0047] In practice, for example, a solenoid valve can be used to control the opening and closing of the exhaust pipe 9. After each sampling is completed, the control system triggers the solenoid valve to open, allowing external compressed air to enter the sampling tube 1 through the exhaust pipe 9. This compressed air flushing for several seconds ensures that sewage and sediment are thoroughly removed from the tube, thereby reducing the probability of the filter becoming clogged due to sediment accumulation.

[0048] In one embodiment, a wastewater sampling gun of this application has an ultrasonic vibration unit 10 on the outer surface of its multi-stage filtration device. During operation, internal sensors monitor the filtration resistance of the multi-stage filtration device in real time. Once an increase in filtration resistance is detected and exceeds a preset threshold, the system automatically activates the ultrasonic vibration unit 10. The ultrasonic vibration unit 10 generates strong mechanical force through high-frequency vibration, effectively breaking down and loosening large particles adhering to the mesh surface of the multi-stage filtration device. This prevents mesh clogging caused by prolonged continuous sampling, ensuring stable operation and continuous working efficiency of the sampling gun.

[0049] To achieve this function, the ultrasonic oscillation unit 10 is mounted on the outer surface of the multi-stage filtration device, working closely with the sensor to form an automated control system. When the sensor detects that the filtration resistance exceeds a set value, the controller triggers the ultrasonic oscillation unit 10 to start. The ultrasonic oscillation unit 10 includes a transducer and a housing. The transducer is fixed inside the housing and connected to the controller via wires. The housing is securely fixed to the outer wall of the multi-stage filtration device, ensuring structural stability and reliability during high-frequency vibration. In this way, the ultrasonic oscillation unit 10 can efficiently perform cleaning without affecting the overall performance of the sampling gun, ensuring the continuity and stability of the filtration effect.

[0050] In one embodiment, a wastewater testing sampling gun of this application includes a multi-stage filter layer 6, which are connected by a quick-release latch 11 (see [link to application]). Figure 3 The filters are interconnected. Specifically, each filter layer can be easily separated and reassembled without the use of any tools. This design allows operators to quickly and easily disassemble and assemble the equipment when cleaning or inspecting the filter layers, effectively reducing clogging problems caused by infrequent cleaning due to difficulty in disassembly. The quick-release latch 11 not only improves the ease of cleaning but also enhances the reliability and durability of the equipment, further extending its service life.

[0051] Specifically, the quick-release latch 11 is located at the joint of each filter layer, and can lock or release adjacent filter layers with a simple rotation or pressing action. For example, the operator can quickly separate two filter layers by simply rotating the latch for necessary cleaning or replacement. This design not only simplifies the operation process but also ensures stable operation of the equipment in high-frequency use scenarios. Furthermore, by optimizing the position and structure of the quick-release latch 11, efficient and reliable operation is guaranteed even in harsh working environments.

[0052] join Figure 3 In one embodiment, a wastewater sampling gun according to this application includes a pre-diverting disc 12 located before a multi-stage filtration device. This pre-diverting disc 12 is used for initial distribution and slowing down the water flow rate, aiming to reduce the intensity of the water flow entering the multi-stage filtration device. The pre-diverting disc 12 is installed between the sampling gun's inlet and the multi-stage filtration device, ensuring that the water has undergone pre-dispersion treatment before entering the filtration device. This design helps to mitigate the clogging process of the mesh in the multi-stage filtration device and significantly reduces the risk of frequent clogging.

[0053] Specifically, the water pre-diversion plate 12 consists of multiple radially distributed small holes or channels. These holes or channels can be evenly distributed across the entire plate surface, dispersing and slowing down the water flow entering the sampling gun. In this way, the water flow is initially broken down into multiple smaller water flows, reducing the pressure on the filter screen and extending the service life of the filtration device. For example, the water pre-diversion plate 12 can adopt a circular plate structure with multiple small holes of different diameters on its surface. Furthermore, the water pre-diversion plate 12 can be fixed to the inlet of the sampling gun by means of threads or clips, ensuring stability and reliability during long-term use.

[0054] In actual operation, when using this device, the user first installs the detachable filter device 3 at the inlet of one end of the sampling tube 1. This filter device has multiple levels of filter layers, arranged from coarse to fine, effectively filtering out large particles in the wastewater. It can also adapt to different wastewater environments by adjusting the filter pore size, avoiding sampling difficulties caused by large particles clogging the wastewater. Next, the user uses the telescopic rod structure 2 to allow the wastewater to enter the sampling tube 1. Then, the stirrer 4, located inside the sampling tube 1, is activated by an external power source. It effectively agitates the wastewater, making the solid particles and liquid mix more evenly, thereby improving the representativeness and accuracy of the sample. Throughout the sampling process, the user can flexibly control the start and stop of the stirrer 4 according to specific circumstances to balance the agitation effect and power consumption. After sampling is complete, the wastewater is introduced into a container through the sampling tube 1, while the backflow prevention valve 5 automatically closes at the end of sampling to prevent wastewater from flowing back into the sampling gun after suction stops, ensuring the cleanliness of the sample and equipment. This design not only ensures the quality and efficiency of sampling, but also greatly improves the convenience and safety of operation.

[0055] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the embodiments of this disclosure. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of the embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of this disclosure.
