Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mineral resource exploration technology, specifically to an exploration device for mineral resource survey. Background Technology

[0002] A mineral resource exploration device is a specialized piece of equipment used to detect underground mineral resources. It uses various technical means to conduct geological surveys and sample collection in target areas, providing important data support and scientific basis for the development and utilization of mineral resources.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent, CN222315070U, which discloses a mineral resource mining device for geological exploration. The device includes a baffle slidably connected to the surface of a base plate for drilling protection. The baffle has a side groove at its outer end and a vertical plate fixed to one side of the top of the base plate. A movable plate is slidably connected to the vertical plate via a T-shaped groove on its side. A screw is threaded through the top of the movable plate. A first brush for cleaning the T-shaped groove and a second brush for cleaning the screw are detachably connected to the surface of the movable plate. The baffle is embedded in the base plate surface, and the contact point between the baffle and the base plate is slidably connected via a slider and a groove. Symmetrically threaded bolts are connected to the surface of the baffle. During drilling, the baffle is pulled outwards and the bolts are tightened for fixation. When the rapidly rotating drill bit carries away gravel from the soil, the baffle effectively shields the flying sand and gravel, ensuring the safety of the drilling operation.

[0004] However, the aforementioned mineral exploration mining equipment still has areas for improvement. On the one hand, it lacks an integrated sample storage design, requiring additional sample storage devices to preserve the collected samples. This not only increases the equipment carrying burden for exploration personnel but also easily leads to chaotic sample management due to the dispersed equipment, affecting exploration efficiency. On the other hand, its large size makes transportation and operation extremely inconvenient in complex terrain environments, making it difficult to meet the needs of diverse exploration scenarios and limiting its application in remote areas or confined spaces. Therefore, a mineral resource survey exploration device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7 The mineral resource survey exploration device in this embodiment includes an outer shell 1, an exploration mechanism 2 is provided inside the outer shell 1, and a portable sample preservation mechanism 3 is movably installed on the outside of the outer shell 1.

[0030] The portable sample preservation mechanism 3 includes a sample preservation hollow cylinder 301, a storage cavity 302, an anti-collision protective liner 303, a sample preservation tube 304, a connecting ring 305, a limiting ring 306, a fixing screw 307, and a rubber protective ring 308. The sample preservation hollow cylinder 301 is sleeved on the outside of the outer shell 1. The sample preservation hollow cylinder 301 has six storage cavities 302 inside. The inner wall of each storage cavity 302 is fixedly installed with an anti-collision protective liner 303. The sample preservation tube 304 is inserted into the inside of each storage cavity 302. The connecting ring 305 is fixedly installed on the top outer surface of the sample preservation hollow cylinder 301. The limiting ring 306 is movably installed on the top of the sample preservation hollow cylinder 301. Two fixing screws 307 are rotatably connected inside the limiting ring 306. The bottom of the limiting ring 306 is fixedly installed with a rubber protective ring 308.

[0031] The exploration mechanism 2 includes a sliding rod 201, a connecting slider 202, a first limiting block 203, a first limiting pin 204, a drill rod 205, a mounting ring 206, a connecting block 207, a rotating rod 208, a second limiting block 209, a second limiting pin 210, and a throttle 211. Two sliding rods 201 are fixedly installed inside the outer casing 1. A connecting slider 202 is slidably connected between the two sliding rods 201. A first limiting block 203 is rotatably connected inside the connecting slider 202. A first limiting pin 204 is inserted into the inside of block 203. A drill rod 205 is inserted into the bottom of the first limiting block 203. An installation ring 206 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer surface of the outer shell 1. A connecting block 207 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer shell 1. A rotating rod 208 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 207. A second limiting block 209 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating rod 208. A second limiting pin 210 is inserted into the inside of the second limiting block 209. A handle 211 is inserted into the top of the second limiting block 209.

[0032] Specifically, during exploration operations, the operator holds the outer casing 1 and rotates the handle 211 to drive the rotating rod 208 to rotate. The rotating rod 208 then drives the first limiting block 203 and the drill rod 205 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, downward pressure is applied, causing the connecting slider 202 to slide down along the sliding rod 201. The drill rod 205 contacts the ground and performs drilling.

[0033] When it is necessary to adjust the working length of drill rod 205 or replace drill rod 205, pull out the first limit pin 204, remove drill rod 205 from the bottom of the first limit block 203, replace with a new drill rod 205, and reinsert and fix the first limit pin 204.

[0034] During drilling, the drilling depth can be controlled by observing the position of the connecting slider 202 on the sliding rod 201, ensuring that the drill rod 205 drills vertically downwards and avoids tilting.

[0035] Specifically, after sample collection is completed, the sample storage operation is carried out. First, the fixing screw 307 is turned to separate it from the connecting ring 305. The limiting ring 306 and the rubber protective ring 308 are removed upwards. The sample storage tube 304 with the collected sample is inserted into the six storage cavities 302 in the sample storage hollow cylinder 301, ensuring that the top of the sample storage tube 304 corresponds and fits the receiving cavity at the bottom of the rubber protective ring 308.

[0036] Then, the limiting ring 306 is re-sleeved onto the connecting plug 207, so that the bottom of the rubber protective ring 308 is in contact with the top of the sample storage hollow cylinder 301. By rotating the fixing screw 307, its bottom is threadedly connected to the connecting ring 305 and tightened. The elasticity of the rubber protective ring 308 is used to compress the top of the sample storage tube 304. Combined with the anti-collision protective liner 303 on the inner wall of the storage cavity 302, the sample storage tube 304 is doubly fixed and protected against collisions to prevent the sample from being damaged or confused during transportation. When the sample needs to be retrieved, the above steps are repeated in reverse.

[0037] In summary, this mineral resource exploration device integrates sample storage using a portable sample preservation mechanism 3. The outer shell 1 is fitted with a hollow sample preservation cylinder 301, and its six internal storage cavities 302 are each equipped with anti-collision protective liners 303, allowing the insertion of sample preservation tubes 304. A top connecting ring 305 and a limiting ring 306 are threadedly connected by two fixing screws 307. Six accommodating cavities at the bottom of a rubber protective ring 308 are adapted to the top of the sample preservation tubes 304. This design integrates sample storage into the device body, eliminating the need for additional storage equipment, reducing the burden on exploration personnel, protecting sample safety with the anti-collision structure, avoiding confusion caused by decentralized management, and improving exploration efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, in this mineral resource exploration device, the two sliding rods 201 in the exploration mechanism 2 are slidably connected to a slider 202. Inside the slider 202, a first limiting block 203 fixes the drill rod 205 via a first limiting pin 204. The bottom of the rotating rod 208 passes through a connecting block 207 and is fixed to the first limiting block 203. The top handle 211 is connected to the second limiting block 209 via a second limiting pin 210. When the handle 211 is rotated, the rotating rod 208 drives the drill rod 205 to rotate, while the slider 202 moves up and down along the sliding rods 201 to achieve drilling. The overall structure is compact, effectively reducing volume. During operation, only rotation and sliding movements are required, making it suitable for transportation and operation in complex terrains. It meets the exploration needs of narrow spaces and remote areas, solving two problems: First, its lack of integrated sample storage design requires additional sample storage devices to preserve collected samples, which not only increases the equipment carrying burden for exploration personnel but also easily leads to chaotic sample management due to equipment dispersion, affecting exploration efficiency. Second, its large size makes transportation and operation in complex terrain environments extremely inconvenient, making it difficult to meet the needs of diverse exploration scenarios and limiting its application in remote areas or narrow spaces.
