Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil treatment devices, and in particular to a simple soil quartering treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of soil research and testing, the soil quartering method, as a classic sample reduction technique, is widely used in agriculture, geology, environmental monitoring, and other industries, and is an important means of obtaining representative soil samples. With the continuous growth of soil testing needs and the increasing requirements for precision, the development of a simplified soil quartering processing device that can streamline the operation process and improve processing efficiency and accuracy has become an urgent need to improve the quality of soil sample processing.
[0003] Currently, most soil quartering equipment commonly found on the market relies on manual operation or simple mechanical assistance. Some devices use an open box structure, requiring operators to manually mix and level the soil using tools such as shovels, then divide the soil into four equal parts using a scraper, and subsequently manually take two diagonally opposite parts for further testing. Other devices, although equipped with mechanical mixing components, still require manual intervention in the zoning process, using specific molds or tools for division. Their core technology principle is still based on a combination of manual operation and simple mechanical movement.
[0004] However, existing equipment of this type suffers from cumbersome operation and low efficiency in practical use. The manual mixing and zoning process not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but the complexity of the operation steps also requires operators to have a certain level of technical proficiency, making it difficult to achieve rapid and efficient soil sample processing and failing to meet the growing demand for soil testing. Therefore, a simplified soil zoning device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] The quick-assembly assembly includes multiple connecting plates II and pins, the multiple connecting plates II and pins being located on the outer wall of the cylinder, and multiple connecting plates I being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The top of the base is fixedly connected to multiple fixed seats and fixed blocks, and each fixed seat is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. In this utility model, by incorporating a rotating cylinder on a base and a built-in cross-shaped dividing plate, the traditional, cumbersome, and inefficient manual mixing and partitioning operations are transformed into a simple and labor-saving mechanical rotation process. Simultaneously, the sealing cap at the top of the cylinder effectively solves the problem of dust pollution.

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.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a simple soil quartering method treatment device, including a base 10, a cylinder 1 on top of the base 10 for stable support of the entire device body, a sealing cap 2 on top of the cylinder 1 for sealing the cylinder 1 during operation, effectively preventing soil powder from drifting outwards and ensuring the integrity of the soil sample, a cross-shaped dividing plate 5 and multiple support plates 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 1, the cross-shaped dividing plate 5 for dividing the internal space into four areas when the cylinder 1 rotates, achieving uniform distribution of soil, and the support plates 9 for structural reinforcement of the cross-shaped dividing plate 5 to ensure the stability of the division, a groove 8 is provided inside the base 10 for accommodating and guiding the rolling balls 7, multiple rolling balls 7 are provided between the cylinder 1 and the base 10, the rolling balls 7 cooperate with the groove 8 and the outer wall of the cylinder 1 to roll, greatly reducing the friction when the cylinder 1 rotates, making its rotation smoother and less strenuous, and multiple sealing plates 9 are provided inside the cylinder 1. Each sealing plate 3 is connected to the cylinder 1 via multiple hinges 4, which enable the opening and closing of the sealing plate 3 for convenient sampling. Each sealing plate 3 has a handle 6 fixedly connected to its outer wall, which allows operators to apply force to open or close the corresponding sealing plate 3 and retrieve samples from a specific area. The base 10 has a rotating groove and a recess 8 inside. The rotating groove guides the rotation of the cylinder 1. The cylinder 1 fits into the rotating groove inside the base 10. Multiple rolling balls 7 are rotatably connected inside the recess 8 and abut against the bottom of the outer wall of the cylinder 1, achieving stable rotation with low friction. The top height of the support plate 9 is consistent with the bottom height of the sealing plate 3. This structural design makes the internal space transition smoothly, avoids material accumulation, and facilitates sample removal and equipment cleaning. The outer wall of the cylinder 1 is equipped with a quick-release assembly, which is used to quickly lock the cylinder 1 after mixing to prevent accidental rotation or separation from the base 10, enhancing the safety and stability of operation.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The quick-release assembly includes multiple connecting plates 14 and pins 19. This assembly, when used together, provides multiple locking functions for the cylinder 1. The connecting plates 14 and pins 19 are located on the outer wall of the cylinder 1. Multiple connecting plates 11 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 1. These connecting plates 11 serve as fixed bases, engaging with the connecting plates 14 and pins 19 to lock the cylinder 1. Multiple fixing seats 12 and fixing blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 10. The fixing seats 12 are used to support the connecting plates 14 and pins 19. 4 provides a pivot point, while the fixing block 15 is used to install the threaded rod 18 to provide locking force. Each fixing seat 12 has a rotating shaft 13 rotatably connected inside. The outer wall of each rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting plate 14. The rotating shaft 13 cooperates with the fixing seat 12 to allow the connecting plate 14 to rotate, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the quick-assembly assembly and achieving the effect of rapid positioning. Each connecting plate 14 has a groove 16 inside, which is used to accommodate the handle 2 at a specific angle. 17. To ensure no interference occurs when rotating the second connecting plate 14, the bottom of the second connecting plate 14 is in contact with the top of the first connecting plate 11 and the fixing block 15. Each fixing block 15 has a threaded rod 18 inside, and a handle 17 is fixedly connected to the top of each threaded rod 18. The threaded rod 18 is screwed in or out with the internal thread of the fixing block 15, thereby applying or releasing pressure on the second connecting plate 14. The bottom of each handle 17 is in contact with the top of the second connecting plate 14. The handle 17 is used to facilitate the user to rotate the threaded rod 18. After rotating 90 degrees, it can use its own structure to press the second connecting plate 14, achieving a double locking effect. Each second connecting plate 14 has a sliding pin 19 inside. One end of each pin 19 passes through the second connecting plate 14 and extends into the interior of the first connecting plate 11. The pin 19 is used to fix the first connecting plate 11 and the second connecting plate 14, achieving the final limit and preventing the cylinder 1 from shifting in any direction, ensuring absolute stability during operation.
[0036] Working principle: During equipment use, soil is poured into and filled into cylinder 1. Then, sealing cap 2 is placed on top of cylinder 1 to prevent powder from scattering outwards, ensuring the integrity of the soil sample. Next, cylinder 1 is rotated against the inner wall of base 10. During this process, the outer wall of cylinder 1 pushes the rolling ball 7 to rotate inside base 10, reducing the friction generated during cylinder 1's rotation. The rotational force of cylinder 1 evenly distributes the soil into four spaces inside cylinder 1. The four soil samples are then separated by cross-shaped dividing plates 5, achieving... To ensure uniform soil distribution, after cylinder 1 has rotated completely, connecting plate 2 14 is pushed to rotate around shaft 13 until it comes into contact with the top of connecting plate 11 on the outer wall of cylinder 1. During this process, handle 2 17 and groove 2 16 remain parallel to prevent handle 2 17 from obstructing the rotation of connecting plate 2 14. Then, handle 2 17 is rotated to make threaded rod 18 rotate inside fixed block 15 until the bottom of handle 2 17 comes into contact with the top of connecting plate 2 14. At this point, handle 2 17 and the top of connecting plate 2 14 are in contact. The components are vertically distributed, and the bottom of handle 17 is used to fix the position of connecting plate 14. Finally, pin 19 is inserted through connecting plate 14 and extends into the interior of pin 19. The position of cylinder 1 is limited and fixed by connecting plate 14 and pin 19 to prevent cylinder 1 from rotating accidentally or separating from the surface of base 10. When it is necessary to take out soil samples from a specific area, the operator holds handle 6 and pushes sealing plate 3 to rotate around hinge 4. In this way, soil from the specific location can be taken out smoothly without affecting other soil. When it is necessary to adjust the equipment... During disassembly and cleaning, based on the same principle described above, connecting plate 14 and pin 19 are separated from the top and inside of connecting plate 11, respectively, allowing cylinder 1 and cross-shaped dividing plate 5 to be easily separated from the outer wall of base 10. This facilitates cleaning of the components and prevents soil from adhering to the top of base 10, cylinder 1, and the inner wall of cross-shaped dividing plate 5, which would affect subsequent use. This achieves good soil treatment and solves the problems of cumbersome operation, low efficiency, uneven mixing, and easy dust pollution caused by the traditional manual quartering method. It also enhances the convenience, uniformity, and accuracy of sample processing.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
