Detailed Implementation

[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] Railway soil sampling refers to the collection of soil samples in railway-related areas. It is a fundamental task of vital importance for railway construction, maintenance, and safety. By analyzing the collected soil samples through physical, chemical, and biological methods, crucial information is provided for railway engineering planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance. For example, it assesses the soil's bearing capacity to determine its suitability for railway track laying; detects the presence of corrosive substances in the soil to facilitate appropriate protective measures; and analyzes soil stability to prevent safety hazards such as railway line deformation and collapse caused by soil issues.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Due to the inherent limitations of existing technologies in the efficient transfer and transportation of soil samples, please refer to... Figures 1-8 This embodiment provides a clamping and conveying mechanism with weighing function, which has the functions of efficient and rapid conveying of soil samples and automatic weighing. It can greatly improve the efficiency of soil sample weighing and conveying, reduce labor costs, and is worth promoting. The mechanism includes a base plate 1, on which a conveying mechanism 2 and a weighing mechanism 3 are installed. The weighing mechanism 3 is located on one side of the conveying mechanism 2. A fixing frame 4 is also installed on the base plate 1. A lifting mechanism 5 and a material guiding mechanism 6 are installed on the fixing frame 4. The lifting mechanism 5 is located directly above the conveying mechanism 2. The rational layout of each mechanism makes the functions of each part of the equipment clear, which facilitates the installation, debugging and maintenance of the equipment. The reasonable positional relationship between each mechanism reduces interference and improves the stability of equipment operation and space utilization.

[0031] The existing lifting mechanism 5 suffers from problems such as simple structure, poor stability, and inflexible clamping, failing to meet the requirements of some high-precision or complex operations. To address this issue, please refer to... Figures 3-6 The lifting mechanism 5 includes two sets of mounting brackets 501 mounted on the fixed frame 4. Mounting seats 502 are fixed to the side walls of both sets of mounting brackets 501. A lifting motor 503 is mounted on the mounting seat 502. A rotating arm 504 is fixed to the output shaft of the lifting motor 503. A balance plate 505 is hinged to the end of the rotating arm 504 away from the lifting motor 503. Clamping arms 506 are fixed to the bottom of both ends of the balance plate 505. A clamping assembly 507 is mounted on the bottom of the clamping arm 506. Through the arrangement of the two sets of mounting brackets 501, rotating arms 504, and balance plates 505, the lifting mechanism 5 is structurally stable. The balance plate 505 can be moved to adjust the clamping position. The clamping assembly 507 can achieve flexible clamping, adapting to different working scenarios, improving the accuracy and stability of clamping, and enabling more complex clamping and handling operations.

[0032] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 507 includes a pouring motor 5071 mounted at the bottom of the clamping arm 506. A clamping cylinder 5072 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the pouring motor 5071. A clamping head 5073 is mounted on the telescopic shaft of the clamping cylinder 5072. A fixing block 5074 with an insertion hole is provided on one side of the clamping head 5073. The fixing block 5074 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sampling box. The pouring motor 5071 can realize the pouring operation of the sample, the clamping cylinder 5072 provides sufficient clamping force, the clamping head 5073 can clamp stably, and the fixing block 5074 with the insertion hole cooperates with the sampling box, so that the clamping assembly 507 is reliably connected to the sampling box. The pouring and clamping operations can be precisely controlled, which is suitable for working scenarios with special requirements for samples.

[0033] The existing conveyor mechanism 2 has low conveying accuracy and cannot effectively convey and position items that require rotation or special placement. To address this issue, please refer to...Figure 2 The conveying mechanism 2 includes a linear module 201 mounted on a base plate 1. A translation seat 202 is fixed on the linear module 201. A rotary motor 203 is mounted on the translation seat 202. A support plate 204 is fixed on the output shaft of the rotary motor 203. The support plate 204 has a groove for accommodating the sampling box. A through hole is provided at the bottom of the groove. The linear module 201 realizes precise linear conveying. The rotary motor 203 can rotate the support plate 204, which facilitates the placement and operation of the sampling box at different angles. The groove can accurately place the sampling box. The through hole can allow the weighing mechanism 3 to lift the sampling box upward and perform weighing operations.

[0034] To perform soil sample weighing, please refer to... Figure 7 The weighing mechanism 3 includes a fixed base 301 mounted on the base plate 1. A lifting cylinder 302 is mounted on the fixed base 301. A lifting plate 303 is fixed on the telescopic shaft of the lifting cylinder 302. A weighing sensor 304 is embedded in the center of the lifting plate 303. When the pallet 204 moves the sampling box to the position above the weighing mechanism 3, the lifting cylinder 302 can move the lifting plate 303 upward to lift the sampling box, thereby weighing the soil sample. After weighing, the lifting cylinder 302 resets, and the sampling box can still be on the pallet 204, which can facilitate continued transport to the rear.

[0035] The existing weighing mechanism 3 has the problem of unstable placement of the sampling box, which affects the weighing results. To address this issue, a magnet is embedded on the inner side of the lifting plate 303. The sampling box can be made of iron. By utilizing the attraction of the magnet, the sampling box is placed more stably during weighing, reducing weighing errors caused by the movement of the items and improving the stability and accuracy of weighing.

[0036] The existing material guiding mechanism 6 is prone to material accumulation or spillage, and its installation is not secure. To address this issue, please refer to... Figure 8 The material guiding mechanism 6 includes a fixed plate 601 installed on the top of the fixed frame 4, and a funnel 602 is installed on the fixed plate 601. When the lifting mechanism 5 moves the sampling box above the funnel 602, the sampling box pours the soil sample into the funnel 602, and the soil sample is collected along the funnel 602.
