[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a field rock sample collection device for geological and mineral exploration, including a hammer handle 1, a storage box 2, a locking part 3, and a hammer head 4. A channel 11 is formed inside the hammer handle 1, and the channel 11 is arranged along the axial direction of the hammer handle 1. The rear end of the channel 11 is connected to the rear end face of the hammer handle 1. The storage box 2 is slidably fitted inside the channel 11. One side of the storage box 2 is open, and the opening faces the side wall of the channel 11. The locking part 3 is provided on the hammer handle 1 and is used to lock the storage box 2 inside the channel 11. The hammer head 4 is fixed to the front end of the hammer handle 1.
[0030] When the geological and mineral exploration field rock sample collection device of this utility model is in its initial state, the storage box 2 is completely located inside the channel 11, and the locking part 3 locks the storage box 2 inside the channel 11.
[0031] When using the geological and mineral exploration field rock sample collection device described in this utility model, hold the rear end of the hammer handle 1 and then strike the rock with the hammer head 4 to break the rock and remove some rock fragments. The rock fragments that are knocked off are the rock samples.
[0032] After breaking rock fragments from the rock, the locking part 3 is released from the storage box 2, allowing the rear end of the opening of the storage box 2 to slide out from the channel 11. At this point, the rock sample is placed inside the storage box 2 through the opening, and then the storage box 2 is slid until it is completely contained within the channel 11. Finally, the locking part 3 locks the storage box 2 back into the channel 11. This completes the sampling and collection of the rock sample. The geological and mineral exploration field rock sample collection device described in this invention can both break rocks and store rock samples. Before going to the field to collect rock samples, there is no need to carry a separate container for storing rocks, making it more convenient when carrying rock sampling tools.
[0033] In this embodiment: the outer surface of the hammer handle 1 is recessed inward to form a guide groove 12, the guide groove 12 is arranged along the axial direction of the hammer handle 1, and the guide groove 12 communicates with the channel 11; the locking part 3 includes a sliding member 31 and a locking assembly, the sliding member 31 is slidably engaged in the guide groove 12, and the locking assembly is disposed on the sliding member 31. The locking assembly is used to lock the position of the sliding member 31 in the guide groove 12 when the storage box 2 is completely located in the channel 11.
[0034] When the storage box 2 is completely inside the channel 11, the locking component locks the position of the slider 31 within the guide groove 12, preventing the slider 31 from sliding within the guide groove 12. At this time, the locking part 3 can lock the storage box 2 within the channel 11.
[0035] When it is necessary to slide the storage box 2 backward from the channel 11, the locking component is released from locking the slider 31, and then the slider 31 is slid backward within the guide groove 12. The slider 31 drives the storage box 2 to slide out from the rear end of the channel 11. This makes it more convenient to slide the storage box 2 out from the rear end of the channel 11.
[0036] In this embodiment: the outer surface of the hammer handle 1 is recessed inward to form a first limiting groove 13, which is connected to the guide groove 12; the locking component includes a limiting block 32 and an elastic element. When the limiting block 32 is located in the first limiting groove 13, the storage box 2 is completely located in the channel 11. The limiting block 32 cooperates with the first limiting groove 13. The elastic element can be a helical spring. One end of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the storage box 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting block 32. The elastic element is used to provide a pulling force to the limiting block 32 in the direction of the center of the hammer handle 1.
[0037] In the initial state of the geological and mineral exploration field rock sample collection device of this utility model, the storage box 2 is completely located within the channel 11, the limiting block 32 is located within the first limiting groove 13, and the elastic member provides a pulling force to the limiting block 32 towards the center of the hammer handle 1, so that the limiting block 32 is relatively stably held within the first limiting groove 13. The limiting block 32 cannot move along the length direction of the limiting groove on the hammer handle 1, and the sliding member 31 cannot move within the guide groove 12. With this structure, the locking component can lock the position of the sliding member 31 within the guide groove 12 when the storage box 2 is completely located within the channel 11.
[0038] Before the receiving box needs to be slid out from the rear end of the channel 11, pull the limiting block 32 away from the axis of the hammer handle 1 to pull the limiting block 32 out of the first limiting groove 13. Then slide the sliding member 31 backward a certain distance so that the limiting block 32 is offset from the position of the first limiting groove 13. Then release the limiting block 32, which is held against the outer surface of the hammer handle 1 by the pulling force of the elastic member. At this time, the limiting block 32 and the sliding member 31 can slide backward on the hammer handle 1, thereby releasing the locking component from locking the sliding member 31.
[0039] In this embodiment: the slider 31 is cylindrical; the locking assembly also includes a circular tube 33 that is slidably fitted in the inner cavity of the slider 31, the circular tube 33 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 32, and the elastic element is located in the inner cavity of the slider 31 and the inner cavity of the circular tube 33.
[0040] Since the round tube 33 is slidably fitted inside the inner cavity of the sliding member 31, during the process of pulling the limiting block 32 in the direction away from the axis of the hammer handle 1, the round tube 33 slides a certain distance in the inner cavity of the sliding member 31 in the direction away from the axis of the hammer handle 1.
[0041] After the limiting block 32 is pulled out of the first limiting groove 13 and positioned offset from the first limiting groove 13, the limiting block 32 abuts against the outer surface of the hammer handle 1 under the pulling force of the elastic member. The end of the round tube 33 facing the middle of the hammer handle 1 is located in the inner cavity of the sliding member 31. At this time, simply moving the limiting block 32 backward will cause it to move the sliding member 31 and the storage box 2 backward through the round tube 33, making it easier to slide the storage box 2 out of the rear end of the channel 11.
[0042] In this embodiment, a pull rod 34 is fixedly mounted on the limiting block 32. The pull rod 34 is located on the side of the limiting block 32 facing away from the storage box 2, and is perpendicular to the axis of the hammer handle 1. By simply pulling the pull rod 34 away from the axis of the hammer handle 1, the limiting block 32 can move in the direction away from the axis of the hammer handle 1, thus enabling the limiting block 32 to be pulled in the direction away from the axis of the hammer handle 1. This makes pulling the limiting block 32 in the direction away from the axis of the hammer handle 1 more convenient.
[0043] In this embodiment: the storage box 2 includes a rod 21, a first end plate 22, and a second end plate 23. The rod 21 is slidably fitted into the channel 11. One side of the rod 21 is recessed inward to form a through groove. The through groove is arranged along the axial direction of the hammer handle 1 and connects the front and rear end faces of the rod 21. The first end plate 22 is located at the rear of the through groove and is detachably fixed to the rod 21. The second end plate 23 is located at the front of the through groove and is fixedly connected to the rod 21. The portion of the through groove located between the first end plate 22 and the second end plate 23 forms the inner cavity of the storage box 2. The portion of the through groove located between the first end plate 22 and the second end plate 23 forms an opening. The portion of the through groove wall located behind the first end plate 22 gradually thins from front to back, so that the rear end of the through groove wall forms a cutting edge.
[0044] When the storage box 2 is slid backward from the channel 11, the rod 21 and the first end plate 22 are moved backward a certain distance from the channel 11, so that the first end plate 22 is outside the channel 11. Then the first end plate 22 is removed from the through groove. Since the groove wall of the through groove gradually thins from front to back on the part behind the first end plate 22, the rear end of the rod 21 can act as a shovel. After the rock is broken, a rock sample can be scooped up through the rear end of the rod 21. When scooping up the rock sample, the rock sample is scooped into the rear end of the through groove. After the rock sample is scooped into the rear end of the through groove, the hammer handle 1 and the front end of the rod 21 are tilted downward, and the rock sample at the rear end of the through groove can slide forward into the inner cavity of the storage box 2. Then the first end plate 22 is reinserted into the rear of the through groove and the first end plate 22 is re-fixed to the rod 21. At this time, the rock sample in the inner cavity of the storage box cannot fall backward from the through groove.
[0045] For some rock samples that are small in size and inconvenient to pick up by hand, they can be collected by shoveling through the rear end of the rod 21, without having to carry a separate shovel to collect such small rock samples that are inconvenient to pick up by hand.
[0046] In this embodiment: a slot 221 is recessed on one side of the first end plate 22 facing away from the opening, and a plug 24 that mates with the slot 221 is protruding from the groove wall of the through groove at the position corresponding to the slot.
[0047] When disassembling the first end plate 22, simply pull it outward from the opening. When installing the first end plate 22, simply insert it into the through slot from the opening, ensuring the insert block 23 is positioned within the slot. Then, fully insert the rod 21 into the channel 11. The first end plate 22 will then be unable to move within the through slot, thus securing it within the slot. With this structure, the first end plate 22 can be detachably and securely connected to the rod 21.
[0048] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the hammer handle 1 is also recessed inward to form a second receiving groove 14. The second receiving groove 14 cooperates with the limiting block 32. When the limiting block 32 is located in the second receiving groove 14, the first end plate 22 is located outside the channel 11.
[0049] When it is necessary to pick up rock samples with small particles, the following operation is performed: First, pull the limiting block 32 out of the first limiting groove 13 and offset the position of the limiting block 32 from the first limiting groove 13. Then, move the limiting block 32 backward along the guide groove 12, align the limiting block 32 with the second receiving groove 14, and release it. The limiting block 32 enters the second receiving groove 14 under the tension of the spring. At this time, the first end plate 22 is located outside the channel, and the rear part of the rod 21 is located outside the channel 11. Then, remove the first end plate 22 from the through groove. At this time, the rock sample can be scooped and collected through the rear end of the rod 21. During the scooping and collection of the rock sample, the limiting block 32 cannot move on the hammer handle 1, and the rod 21 and the hammer handle 1 can maintain a relatively fixed state.
[0050] In this embodiment, one end of the hammer head 4 is fixed to the side wall of the hammer handle 1, and the other end gradually tapers outward to form a pointed tip. When using the hammer head 4 to break rocks, the other end of the hammer head 4 contacts the rock surface. Because the other end of the hammer head 4 is pointed, it exerts greater pressure on the rock surface, making it easier to break the rocks.
[0051] In this embodiment, a counterweight 5 is also provided on the side wall of the hammer handle 1, and the counterweight 5 is located on the opposite side of the hammer head 4. The counterweight 5 provides greater inertia for the hammer head 4 when it strikes downwards, making it easier to break the rock.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
