AI Technical Summary
In existing mineral geological exploration sampling devices, samples are easily mixed with soil from different depths. The sampling depth adjustment cannot achieve the diversification of multiple samples, the separation of multiple samples, the separate sampling of multiple samples, or the separate collection of multiple samples. This results in insufficient sample purity and low accuracy of sampling depth adjustment, making it difficult to adapt to complex geological environments.
The system employs a torque motor to drive the drill bit and the auger blades in synergy to achieve directional sample transport. High-purity sample collection is achieved through a buffer wheel and collection bucket structure. The servo motor of the lifting component drives the ball screw and slider structure to achieve precise adjustment of the sampling depth. Multiple samples are collected separately through a gear and toothed disc structure with multiple collection buckets.
It enables the collection of high-purity samples, improves the accuracy of sample analysis, enhances the adaptability of the device in complex geological environments, and supports the separate collection of multiple samples, which facilitates subsequent comparative analysis.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sampling devices, specifically a sampling device for mineral geological exploration. Background Technology
[0002] Mineral geological exploration sampling is a crucial step in systematically collecting samples from geological bodies (such as rocks, soil, ores, and sediments) to obtain information on their chemical composition, physical properties, and mineral composition. This provides fundamental data for the discovery, evaluation, reserve estimation, and development and utilization of mineral resources.

[0007] Third, it is impossible to collect multiple samples separately, which is not conducive to subsequent comparative analysis.
[0008] Therefore, a sampling device for mineral geological exploration is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0026] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a sampling device for mineral geological exploration includes a main body 1. A movable sampling component 2 is provided on one side of the main body 1. The movable sampling component 2 includes a sampling element 3 and a lifting element 4. The sampling element 3 includes a conveying channel 21. A push bucket 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying channel 21. A torque motor 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the push bucket 22. A drive shaft 37 is fixedly installed at the output end of the torque motor 23. A push blade 24, a spiral auger blade 25, and a drill bit 26 are fixedly installed on one side of the drive shaft 37. The push blade 24 is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the push bucket 22. The spiral auger blade 25 is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the conveying channel 21. A conveying pipe 38 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the push bucket 22.
[0028] During operation, the torque motor 23 drives the transmission shaft 37 to rotate at high speed, which drives the drill bit 26 to drill into the soil layer to obtain samples. At the same time, the auger blades 25 rotate synchronously, transporting the samples collected by the drill bit 26 upward along the conveying channel 21 to the push bucket 22. The push blades 24 rotate with the transmission shaft 37, and push the samples in the push bucket 22 to the buffer wheel 29 through the conveying pipe 38, so as to avoid the samples remaining or mixed with soil of different depths during the transportation process.
[0029] Furthermore, the collection component 3 also includes a fixing frame 27, which is fixedly installed on one side of the conveying channel 21. A second stepper motor 28 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing frame 27. A buffer wheel 29 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second stepper motor 28. An aggregation hopper 31 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing frame 27 and is located directly below the buffer wheel 29.
[0030] During operation, the second stepper motor 28 drives the buffer wheel 29 to rotate at a constant speed, which evenly transports the sample conveyed by the pusher blade 24 to the collection hopper 31, avoiding blockage caused by the concentrated falling of the sample due to gravity. At the same time, the rotation of the buffer wheel 29 can further screen large impurities in the sample and improve the uniformity of the sample.
[0031] Furthermore, the collecting component 3 also includes a fixing plate 32, which is fixedly installed on one side of the conveying channel 21. A third stepper motor 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate 32. A gear 34 is fixedly installed on the output end of the third stepper motor 33. A gear disk 35 is meshed on one side of the gear 34. Several collecting hoppers 36 are movably installed on the top of the gear disk 35. The gear disk 35 is rotatably installed on the top of the fixing plate 32.
[0032] During operation, the samples output from the aggregation hopper 31 fall into the collection hopper 36 below. When it is necessary to collect samples at different depths or positions, the third stepper motor 33 drives the gear 34 to rotate. The gear 34 meshes and drives the gear disk 35 to rotate, so that the next empty collection hopper 36 rotates to the position directly below the aggregation hopper 31, thereby realizing the separate collection of multiple samples, which is convenient for subsequent group comparison and analysis.
[0033] Furthermore, the lifting component 4 includes a mounting bracket 41 installed on the top of the main body 1. A second servo motor 42 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting bracket 41. A ball screw 43 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second servo motor 42. A ball nut 44 is threaded through and connected to the ball screw 43. A lifting plate 47 is fixedly installed on one side of the ball nut 44. A plurality of sliders 46 are fixedly installed on the back side of the lifting plate 47. The plurality of sliders 46 are slidably installed on two slide rails 45 respectively. The back side of the two slide rails 45 is fixedly installed on one side of the conveying channel 21. A fixing plate 32 on the collecting component 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting plate 47.
[0034] During operation, according to the preset sampling depth, the second servo motor 42 drives the ball screw 43 to rotate forward or reverse, and the ball nut 44 moves axially along the ball screw 43, causing the lifting plate 47 to slide up and down along the slide rail 45 via the slider 46. Since the lifting plate 47 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 32 of the collection element 3, the collection element 3 as a whole rises and falls synchronously with the lifting plate 47, realizing precise adjustment of the sampling depth. The cooperation between the slide rail 45 and the slider 46 provides rigid guidance for the lifting movement, preventing the collection element 3 from shaking during the lifting process and ensuring that the drill bit 26 enters the soil vertically.
[0035] Furthermore, the main body 1 includes a frame 11, a battery 12 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the frame 11, a first stepper motor 13 is fixedly installed on both sides of the frame 11, a front wheel 14 is fixedly installed at the output end of the two first stepper motors 13 respectively, a first servo motor 17 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the frame 11, two linkage rods 18 are hinged to the output end of the first servo motor 17, and a rear wheel 19 is hinged to the other end of the two linkage rods 18 respectively. The two rear wheels 19 are hinged to both sides of the frame 11.
[0036] During operation, the frame 11 provides a load-bearing foundation for the entire device. The first stepper motor 13 drives the front wheel 14 to rotate, providing forward power for the device. The first servo motor 17 adjusts the steering angle of the rear wheel 19 through the linkage rod 18, enabling the device to turn flexibly and adapt to complex geological exploration environments such as mountains and slopes.
[0037] Furthermore, a remote control motherboard 101 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the frame 11, and a first camera 15 and a second camera 16 are fixedly installed on the top of the frame 11 in sequence.
[0038] During operation, the remote control motherboard 101 receives external remote control signals, and the first camera 15 captures real-time images of the surrounding environment of the device to assist operators in planning movement paths; the second camera 16 focuses on the sampling area and transmits in real-time the status of the drill bit 26 entering the soil and the sample collection status, facilitating remote monitoring and timely adjustment of sampling parameters.
[0039] Working principle: The device receives operation instructions via remote control motherboard 101. The first stepper motor 13 and the first servo motor 17 work together to drive the device to the target sampling point. The second servo motor 42 adjusts the collection device 3 to the preset sampling depth via lifting component 4. The torque motor 23 drives the drill bit 26 to enter the soil for sampling. The spiral auger blade 25 transports the sample to the push bucket 22. The push blade 24 pushes the sample to the buffer wheel 29. The sample falls into the collection bucket 36 through the gathering bucket 31. If multiple samples need to be collected, the third stepper motor 33 drives the toothed disc 35 to rotate and change the collection bucket 36. Throughout the process, the first camera 15 and the second camera 16 transmit images in real time to ensure that the sampling process is controllable. After sampling is completed, the device can move autonomously to the next sampling point.
[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
