Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sampling device technology, specifically to an automatic soil sampling device. Background Technology

[0002] During construction, backfill soil needs to be sampled for testing. This is typically done manually using a ring cutter. First, surface soil and gravel are removed at the sampling point using a shovel or other tools. Then, the ring cutter is placed vertically downwards, supported by a ring cutter holder, and the holder is hammered to fully insert the ring cutter into the backfill soil. The surrounding soil is then cleared to remove the ring cutter, completing the sampling process. This process has the following problems: it is manual and cumbersome; the ring cutter is difficult to stabilize when hammered, affecting the testing results; and especially on sloping ground, it is difficult to control the ring cutter's vertical and horizontal insertion, further impacting the testing results. Although auxiliary devices exist to vertically press the ring cutter into the ground, these often seal the top surface or leave ventilation holes. These features can create air pressure inside the ring cutter during sampling, hindering the complete and smooth insertion of the soil sample.

[0003] Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned technical problems has become the subject of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to propose an automatic soil sampling device that is easy to operate and can effectively improve the efficiency of backfill soil sampling and enhance the accuracy of soil sample testing.

[0006] The bottom of the fixed plate is provided with a support and adjustment component.

[0007] The cleaning component includes a rotating cylinder vertically rotatably connected to one side of the top of the mounting plate. The bottom of the rotating cylinder is open and a sliding rod extending to the bottom of the mounting plate is vertically slidably connected to its inner side. A cleaning plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod, and a number of cleaning brushes are evenly arranged on the bottom surface of the cleaning plate.

[0008] A through thread is provided at the center of the top of the rotating drum, and the thread is connected to the threaded connection.

[0009] A first threaded rod is connected through its upper and lower sides. The bottom end of the first threaded rod is rotatably connected to the top end of the sliding rod. A rotating handle is fixedly connected to the top end of the first threaded rod. A spring is sleeved on the outer part of the first threaded rod located on the rotating cylinder.

[0010] A first gear is coaxially sleeved on the lower side of the rotating drum. The first gear meshes with a second gear rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate. The second gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The motor is mounted on a fixed frame, and the fixed frame is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0011] The soil sampling component includes a mounting plate that slides vertically and extends through its upper and lower sides.

[0012] The sliding column has a pair of ear plates symmetrically arranged on both sides. The bottom of each ear plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of an electric telescopic rod. The bottom fixed end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate.

[0013] At least three connecting rods are equidistantly arranged vertically downwards at the bottom of the sliding column, and the connecting rods are connected to and fitted with ring cutters.

[0014] The outer wall of the ring cutter is provided with at least three connecting cylinders along its axial direction corresponding to the connecting rod. The top of the connecting cylinder is open and its inner wall is slidably fitted with the connecting rod. The bottom of the connecting cylinder is closed.

[0016] The inner connecting hole is provided with an outer connecting hole, and a bolt is threadedly connected between the inner connecting hole and its corresponding outer connecting hole.

[0017] The outer wall of the connecting cylinder is provided with several triangular plates that are equidistant from top to bottom and face outwards and downwards.

[0018] The support adjustment component includes fixed sleeves that are equidistantly and vertically arranged downwards at the bottom of the fixed plate, a second threaded rod that is slidably fitted on the inner side of the fixed sleeve, a fixed cone with its tip pointing downwards that is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second threaded rod, and a support plate that is coaxially sleeved on the bottom outer wall of the second threaded rod.

Following the indication of the level bubble, the adjusting ring is rotated to control the length of the second threaded rod extending from the fixed sleeve, thereby adjusting the support height at the three points of the cover plate and ensuring the fixed plate is horizontal. Then, the rotating handle is operated to move the first threaded rod downwards, pushing the cleaning plate downwards, causing the bottom end of the elastic cleaning brush to press against the sampling point surface. The motor is then started via the control terminal, and the motor drives the second gear through the first gear, thereby driving the rotating drum to rotate, which in turn causes the cleaning brush to rotate. After cleaning the loose soil and gravel at the sampling point, the drive is stopped. The motor lifts the cleaning brush off the ground by rotating the handle. Then, rotating the handle rotates the mounting plate, aligning the ring cutter with the previously cleaned ground. The control terminal controls the electric telescopic rod to press down, causing the sliding column to press the ring cutter down through the connecting rod and connecting cylinder. Once the ring cutter is fully inside the sample soil, the pressing stops. Then, rotating the handle left and right several times, the triangular plate loosens the soil around the ring cutter to facilitate its removal. The electric telescopic rod is then retracted, and the ring cutter is removed. By unscrewing the bolt, the current ring cutter can be removed and stored for testing. A new ring cutter is then taken and connected to the connecting rod with bolts, ready for the next sampling.

[0025] Additionally, it should be noted that the mounting plate and the fixed plate are connected by a damped rotation mechanism, and their stability is controlled by supporting the rotating handle in the cleaning and sampling environment of the device.

[0048] In actual use: Place the entire device at the sampling point, insert the fixed cone 503 into the ground, and ensure the bottom of the support plate 504 is in contact with the ground. Following the indication of the level bubble 8, rotate the adjusting ring 505 to control the extension of the second threaded rod 502 beyond the fixed sleeve 501, thereby adjusting the support height of the three points on the cover plate and ensuring the fixed plate 1 is horizontal. Then, operate the rotating handle 307 to move the first threaded rod 306 downwards, pushing the cleaning plate 303 downwards. This causes the bottom end of the elastic cleaning brush 304 to press against the sampling point surface. Then, start the motor 311 via the control terminal 6. The motor 311 drives the second gear 310 to rotate via the first gear 309, thereby driving the rotating drum 301 to rotate, which in turn causes the cleaning brush 303 to rotate. After cleaning the loose soil and gravel at the sampling point, stop the drive motor 311.

Align ring cutter 410 with the previously cleaned ground, and control electric telescopic rod 403 to press down via control terminal 6. This causes sliding column 401 to press ring cutter 410 down via connecting rod 404 and connecting cylinder 405. Once the ring cutter is fully inserted into the sample soil, stop pressing down. Then rotate handle 201 back and forth several times to loosen the soil around ring cutter 410 using triangular plate 409, making it easier to remove the ring cutter. Then retract electric telescopic rod 403 to remove ring cutter 410. By unscrewing bolt 408, the current ring cutter can be removed and stored for testing. Then, a new ring cutter 410 is taken and connected to connecting rod 404 via bolt 408, ready for the next sampling.

[0049] It should also be noted that the mounting plate 2 and the fixed plate 1 are connected by a damped rotation, and their stability is controlled by the support rotation handle 201 in the cleaning and sampling environment of the device.
