[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a passive groundwater sampling device, including a sampling bottle 1 and a mounting frame 2. The mounting frame 2 has multiple sets of water inlet holes 14 and a protective frame 3. The mounting frame 2 is slidably connected to the protective frame 3 by a limiting member. The sampling bottle 1 is fixed on the protective frame 3 by a fixing member, and an unlocking member is provided between the mounting frame 2 and the fixing member. The mounting frame 2 is also provided with a blocking block 17 by a snap-fit ​​member 18, and the blocking block 17 is adapted to the sampling bottle 1.

[0029] Specifically, the passive groundwater sampling device includes a sampling bottle 1 and a mounting frame 2. The mounting frame 2 has multiple sets of inlet holes 14. During use, water enters the sampling bottle 1 through the inlet holes 14 to complete the groundwater sampling operation. It also includes a protective frame 3. The mounting frame 2 is slidably connected to the protective frame 3 via a limiting component. The sampling bottle 1 is fixed to the protective frame 3 via a fixing component, facilitating installation inside the protective frame 3 for subsequent groundwater sampling operations. An unlocking component is provided between the mounting frame 2 and the fixing component, allowing the fixing component to be unlocked and the sampling bottle 1 to be removed from the protective frame 3, thus enabling groundwater collection. The mounting frame 2 also has a sealing block 17 via a snap-fit ​​component 18, which is compatible with the sampling bottle 1. After sampling is completed, the sampling bottle 1 is placed in the designated position. Then, by holding the protective frame 3 and pressing down on the mounting frame 2, the mounting frame 2 slides downwards inside the protective frame 3. During this downward sliding motion, the locking mechanism unlocks the fixing component. Simultaneously, the sealing block 17 engages inside the sampling bottle 1, sealing it and improving the efficiency of the sampling device. When the sealing block 17 is engaged inside the sampling bottle 1, the fixing component has also unlocked the bottle. Therefore, when the sampling bottle 1 is removed from the protective frame 3, external impurities will not enter the bottle, ensuring the sample is not contaminated and improving the accuracy of the test.

[0030] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the fixing component includes multiple sets of clamping blocks 4 slidably connected to the protective frame 3. Each clamping block 4 is provided with a clamping spring 7 between it and the protective frame 3. The sampling bottle 1 is provided with a clamping groove 5. The elastic force of the clamping spring 7 drives the clamping block 4 to engage in the clamping groove 5, thereby fixing the sampling bottle 1 and improving the stability of the sampling bottle 1 during installation.

[0031] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the unlocking component includes an unlocking rod 11 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 2, an unlocking block 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the unlocking rod 11, and an unlocking groove 9 provided on the clamping block 4. The unlocking block 10 and the unlocking groove 9 abut against each other. Specifically, the unlocking block 10 and the unlocking groove 9 are both wedge-shaped. When the mounting frame 2 slides down, the unlocking rod 11 drives the unlocking block 10 to slide, and the unlocking groove 9 drives the clamping block 4 to slide, so that the clamping block 4 slides out from the inside of the unlocking groove 9, and the sampling bottle 1 can be removed from the protective frame 3, which greatly improves the practicality of the sampling device.

[0032] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the snap-fit ​​component 18 includes a snap-fit ​​rod fixedly connected to the sealing block 17.

The sealing block 17 is wedge-shaped and is interference-fitted with the sampling bottle 1. The sealing block 17 can be made of rubber. When the mounting frame 2 slides down, the sealing block 17 snaps into the mouth of the sampling bottle 1. At this time, the friction between the sealing block 17 and the sampling bottle 1 is greater than the friction between the snap-fit ​​rod and the mounting frame 2. At this time, the sampling bottle 1 can be smoothly disassembled from the mounting frame 2 and the protective frame 3 with the sealing block 17, which meets the working requirements.

[0033] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, a filter screen 16 is provided on the mounting frame 2 to filter and prevent impurities in the water from entering the sampling bottle 1, thus meeting the operational requirements. Furthermore, a cleaning brush 15 is provided on the protective frame 3 for cleaning the filter screen 16. When the mounting frame 2 slides downwards, the cleaning brush 15 cleans the filter screen 16, resulting in better performance.

[0034] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the limiting component includes multiple sets of limiting strips 13 fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting frame 2, and the protective frame 3 has a limiting groove 12 adapted to the limiting strips 13 inside. The limiting strips 13 and the limiting groove 12 are slidably connected, which further improves the stability of the mounting frame 2 and the protective frame 3 during installation.

[0035] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the protective frame 3 is provided with multiple sets of sliding grooves 8, and each clamping block 4 is slidably connected to the protective frame 3 through the sliding groove 8, thereby improving the stability of the clamping block 4 when sliding.

[0036] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, a hanging ring 19 is provided on the top of the mounting frame 2 to facilitate the use of the sampling device.

[0037] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, a counterweight 6 is provided on the bottom of the sampling bottle 1.
