All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] The portable geological exploration equipment disclosed in this utility model is mainly used in geological exploration scenarios.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-4A portable geological exploration device includes a protective shell 1. An exploration column 2 is fixedly connected inside the protective shell 1. A storage slot 3 is arranged in a circular array on the outer side of the protective shell 1. An exploration mechanism is provided inside the protective shell 1. The exploration mechanism includes four stabilizing components, an opening and closing component, and an exploration component. The stabilizing components, opening and closing components, and exploration components work together. The stabilizing component includes a rotating shaft 41, which is rotatably connected inside the storage slot 3. A flap 42 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 41. A fixing frame 43 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of the flap 42 near the storage slot 3. A sliding column 44 is fixedly connected inside each of the two fixing frames 43. A telescopic block 46 is slidably connected to the outer side of each of the two sliding columns 44. A spring 45 is sleeved on the outer side of each of the two sliding columns 44. An insertion rod 47 is slidably connected to the top of each of the two fixing frames 43. The insertion rod 47 is fixedly connected to the telescopic block 46. A storage hole 413 is symmetrically opened at the top of the inner wall of the storage slot 3. The storage hole 413 and the insertion rod 47 work together. The opening and closing assembly includes a limiting groove 48, which is symmetrically opened inside the fixed frame 43. A limiting block 49 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 48. The limiting block 49 and the telescopic block 46 are fixedly connected. The flip plate 42 is symmetrically opened inside the lifting groove 410. A lifting block 411 is slidably connected inside each of the two lifting grooves 410. The lifting block 411 and the telescopic block 46 are fixedly connected. A handle 412 is fixedly connected between the two lifting blocks 411 on the same side. An anti-slip rubber ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the handle 412. The exploration assembly includes a multi-section cylinder 51, which is fixedly connected to the top of the exploration column 2. A sampling groove 52 is provided inside the exploration column 2. A sliding column 53 is slidably connected inside the sampling groove 52. The sliding column 53 is hollow inside. The top of the sliding column 53 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the multi-section cylinder 51. A motor 54 is fixedly connected inside the sliding column 53. The output end of the motor 54 extends to the bottom of the sliding column 53 and is fixedly connected to a sampling auger 55.
[0030] In this embodiment: During transport, the flap 42 is folded and stored in the storage slot 3 on the outside of the protective shell 1. At this time, the insertion rod 47 is inserted into the storage hole 413 under the elastic force of the spring 45 to achieve locking. After arriving at the exploration site, the operator holds the handle 412 wrapped with anti-slip rubber ring and pulls it downward, causing the telescopic block 46 to slide along the sliding column 44 and compress the spring 45, so that the insertion rod 47 disengages from the storage hole 413 and is unlocked. The flap 42 then rotates around the rotating shaft 41 and unfolds to a horizontal position to form a stable support platform. During operation, the controller 8 starts the multi-section cylinder 51 to push the sliding column 53 to extend downward in the sampling slot 52. At the same time, the motor 54 drives the sampling auger 55 to rotate. Through the set exploration mechanism, sampling of soil layers at different depths is achieved. At the same time, during the sampling process, the sampling device is effectively supported to avoid tilting or tipping of the sampling device due to unstable terrain, thereby improving the overall stability of the equipment. The equipment is easy to carry and transport, has a simple structure, and is highly practical.
[0031] In the above technical solution, considering that existing geological exploration equipment is often large and difficult to transport, especially in complex terrain where its movement efficiency is low, and that traditional equipment is prone to sinking or tilting when operating on soft ground, lacking effective auxiliary stabilizing mechanisms, leading to a decrease in sampling accuracy, the following specific operation is implemented to solve these problems:
[0032] Reference Figures 1-4 In a preferred embodiment, a base plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective shell 1. The base plate 6 has an internal clearance groove 56, and casters 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of its bottom. The sliding column 53 has heat dissipation holes 57 arranged in a circular array inside. A controller 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the protective shell 1. The multi-section cylinder 51 and the motor 54 are electrically connected to the controller 8.
[0033] In this embodiment: the base plate 6 provides working space for the sampling auger 55 through the clearance groove 56, the bottom casters 7 facilitate the movement of the equipment, taking into account both portability and positioning requirements during exploration, the heat dissipation holes 57 promote heat dissipation during the operation of the motor 54, and extend the service life of the equipment, the controller 8 centrally controls the multi-section cylinder 51 and the motor 54, simplifies the operation process and improves exploration efficiency.
[0034] Working principle: During transportation, the flap 42 is folded and stored in the storage slot 3 on the outside of the protective shell 1. At this time, the insertion rod 47 is inserted into the storage hole 413 under the elastic force of the spring 45 to achieve locking. After arriving at the exploration site, the operator holds the handle 412 wrapped with anti-slip rubber ring and pulls it down, which drives the telescopic block 46 to slide along the sliding column 44 and compress the spring 45, so that the insertion rod 47 is released from the storage hole 413 and the lock is released. The flap 42 then rotates around the rotating shaft 41 and unfolds to a horizontal position to form a stable support platform. During operation, the controller 8 activates the multi-section cylinder 51 to push the sliding column 53 downwards within the sampling slot 52, while the motor 54 drives the sampling auger 55 to rotate, enabling sampling of soil layers at different depths. During sampling, the hollow structure and heat dissipation holes 57 inside the sliding column 53 ensure effective heat dissipation for the motor 54. After sampling, the multi-section cylinder 51 retracts, causing the sampling auger 55 to retract. The operator can then reverse the grip 412 to fold and lock the flap 42. Finally, the equipment is easily moved to the next exploration point using the casters 7 at the bottom of the base plate 6. The entire workflow achieves an organic combination of portability, rapid stability, and efficient sampling.

The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
