[0002] In geological surveys and mineral exploration, field rock and ore sampling is a crucial task. It provides firsthand samples for detailed observation and comprehensive research of rocks and minerals in the field and laboratory, as well as for the discovery of important mineralization clues. Therefore, field sampling equipment is essential for obtaining important firsthand rock and ore samples in the field. This facilitates the collection of key rock and ore samples during basic geological surveys and mineral exploration, enabling researchers to conduct further comprehensive laboratory studies and quickly discover important geological bodies and mineral exploration clues.
[0003] During the field collection of rock and mineral samples, especially in high mountain and canyon terrain areas where the terrain is deeply dissected or the slope is steep, existing sampling equipment often cannot perform sampling stably. In cases where the rock and mineral samples to be collected are exposed at high elevations and there is a lack of portable collection equipment, some important rock and mineral samples often have to be abandoned. This seriously affects the collection of first-hand rock and mineral samples in the field, the comprehensive study of important geological bodies, and the discovery of mineral exploration clues.
