Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil samplers, and more particularly to a soil sampler with a cleaning mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A soil sampler is a tool or device specifically designed to collect undisturbed, untouched soil samples from the surface or at a certain depth. Its core purpose is to obtain representative soil samples without damaging the natural structure and layers of the soil.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent application number 202222989126.9 discloses a soil sampler, including a vertical rod with a through groove on its surface. A horizontal rod is installed inside the through groove, and connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the horizontal rod. A vertical plate is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the connecting blocks, and a threaded sleeve is threaded through the surface of the vertical plate. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve. This utility model, through the cooperation of the vertical rod, through groove, horizontal rod, connecting blocks, vertical plate, threaded sleeve, threaded rod, fixing sleeve, handle, drill bit, and sampling groove, achieves the advantage of combining drilling and sampling. It solves some defects in the use of previous soil samplers, which did not have the advantage of combining drilling and sampling, increased the sampling difficulty, and reduced the user's work efficiency, failing to meet the needs of today's market. Due to the above-mentioned problems, the practicality and usability of the soil sampler were reduced.
[0004] However, during the use of the aforementioned soil sampler, sometimes after sampling is completed, highly adhesive soil may adhere tightly to the tube wall, making it very difficult to eject or push the complete soil column out of the sampler. Furthermore, the inner wall of the container is difficult to clean, resulting in a cleaning problem, and residual soil can easily mix with soil samples taken from different locations. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a soil sampler with a cleaning mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a soil sampler with a cleaning mechanism, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a soil sampler with a cleaning mechanism, comprising a soil sampling shell, a soil discharge frame installed inside the soil sampling shell, a limiting groove provided inside the soil sampling shell, an assembly bracket fixed to the top of the soil discharge frame, a handle bracket fixed to the top of the assembly bracket, an auxiliary cleaning mechanism provided to the top of the soil discharge frame, and a disassembly cleaning mechanism installed to the top of the soil discharge frame;
[0007] The auxiliary cleaning mechanism includes an assembly housing. A return spring is provided on one inner wall of the assembly housing. One end of the return spring is connected to a movable plate. A limit rod is fixed on one side of the movable plate. A connecting sleeve is fixed on one inner wall of the assembly housing. A carbon steel block is installed at the bottom of the assembly housing. A support column is fixed on one side of the movable plate. A connecting threaded column is fixed on one side of the movable plate. A plastic plate is fixed at one end of the connecting threaded column. A limit threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the outer side of the connecting threaded column.
[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the disassembly and cleaning mechanism includes a cast iron column, a limit baffle fixed on the outer side of the cast iron column, a rotating assembly plate rotatably connected to the outer side of the cast iron column, a first semi-threaded rod fixed on the top of the rotating assembly plate, a cast iron connecting pad fixed on the outer side of the assembly bracket, and a second semi-threaded rod installed on the top of the cast iron connecting pad.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the cast iron column and the soil discharge frame are fixedly connected, and the bottom surface of the rotating assembly plate is in contact with the top surface of the cast iron connecting pad.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, anti-slip pads are movably sleeved on the outer sides of the second semi-threaded rod and the first semi-threaded rod, and metal nuts are threadedly connected to the outer sides of the second semi-threaded rod and the first semi-threaded rod.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom surface of the cast iron connecting pad is in contact with the top surface of the soil discharge frame, and the anti-slip pad has a through hole inside that matches the size of the first semi-threaded rod and the second semi-threaded rod.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the outer side of the metal nut is provided with anti-slip texture, and the radius of the first semi-threaded rod is equal to the radius of the second semi-threaded rod.
[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the assembly shell and the carbon steel block are both fixedly connected to the soil discharge frame, and the interior of the assembly shell is provided with a through hole to accommodate the movement of the support column.
[0014] This invention provides a soil sampler with a cleaning mechanism, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0015] 1. This design provides a soil sampler with a cleaning mechanism. By incorporating an auxiliary cleaning mechanism, a movable plate drives one end of the support column to impact the outside of the mounting bracket, helping to loosen the adhesion between the soil sample and the tube wall. This makes it easier to remove the complete or relatively complete soil column without damage. At the same time, it eliminates the need for frequent complete withdrawal of the sampler for complex disassembly and cleaning, saving time in sampling clayey soil, gravelly soil, or soil with well-developed root systems. This improves work efficiency, facilitates soil sampling, reduces soil adhesion, and facilitates subsequent cleaning.
[0016] 2. This design provides a soil sampler with a cleaning mechanism. By setting up a disassembly and cleaning mechanism, the connection between the assembly bracket and the soil discharge frame can be easily completed when the assembly bracket is connected to the soil discharge frame. The assembly process is simple and easy for users to disassemble and maintain. The assembly bracket can be easily removed and the inside of the soil discharge frame can be cleaned and maintained, thus achieving the purpose of facilitating cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a soil sampler with a cleaning mechanism:
[0024] A soil sampler with a cleaning mechanism includes a soil sampling housing 1, a soil discharge rack 2 installed inside the soil sampling housing 1, a limit groove 3 provided inside the soil sampling housing 1, an assembly bracket 4 fixed to the top of the soil discharge rack 2, a handle bracket 5 fixed to the top of the assembly bracket 4, an auxiliary cleaning mechanism 6 provided to the top of the soil discharge rack 2, and a disassembly and cleaning mechanism 7 installed to the top of the soil discharge rack 2.
[0025] like Figures 1-2 and Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary cleaning mechanism 6 includes an assembly housing 61. A return spring 62 is provided on one inner wall of the assembly housing 61. One end of the return spring 62 is connected to a movable plate 63. A limit rod 64 is fixed on one side of the movable plate 63. A connecting sleeve 65 is fixed on one inner wall of the assembly housing 61. A carbon steel block 66 is installed at the bottom of the assembly housing 61. A support column 67 is fixed on one side of the movable plate 63. A connecting threaded column 68 is fixed on one side of the movable plate 63. A plastic plate 69 is fixed at one end of the connecting threaded column 68. A limit threaded sleeve 610 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the connecting threaded column 68. The assembly housing 61 and the carbon steel block 66 are both fixedly connected to the soil discharge frame 2. The interior of the assembly housing 61 has a through hole to accommodate the movement of the support column 67.
[0026] like Figures 1-3As shown, the disassembly and cleaning mechanism 7 includes a cast iron column 71. A limit baffle 72 is fixed to the outer side of the cast iron column 71. A rotating assembly plate 73 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the cast iron column 71. A first semi-threaded rod 74 is fixed to the top of the rotating assembly plate 73. A cast iron connecting pad 75 is fixed to the outer side of the assembly bracket 4. A second semi-threaded rod 76 is installed on the top of the cast iron connecting pad 75. Anti-slip pads 77 are movably sleeved on the outer sides of the second semi-threaded rod 76 and the first semi-threaded rod 74. The outer side of the 4 is threaded with a metal nut 78, the cast iron column 71 and the soil discharge frame 2 are fixedly connected, the bottom surface of the rotating assembly plate 73 is in contact with the top surface of the cast iron connecting pad 75, the outer side of the metal nut 78 is provided with anti-slip texture, the radius of the first half thread rod 74 is equal to the radius of the second half thread rod 76, the bottom surface of the cast iron connecting pad 75 is in contact with the top surface of the soil discharge frame 2, and the inside of the anti-slip pad 77 is provided with a through hole that matches the size of the first half thread rod 74 and the second half thread rod 76.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: With the auxiliary cleaning mechanism 6, when sampling soil, one end of the soil sampling housing 1 needs to be inserted into the soil. After soil sampling is completed, the sampled soil is removed, and the user can intermittently pull and release the plastic plate 69, allowing the return spring 62 inside the assembly housing 61 to push the movable plate 63. The movable plate 63 causes one end of the support column 67 to strike the outside of the assembly bracket 4, helping to loosen the adhesion between the soil sample and the tube wall. This makes it easier to remove the complete or relatively complete soil column without damage. Simultaneously, it eliminates the need for frequent complete withdrawal of the sampler for complex disassembly and cleaning, saving time in sampling cohesive soil, gravelly soil, or soil with well-developed root systems, improving operational efficiency, and facilitating soil sampling. This reduces soil adhesion, facilitating subsequent cleaning. With a disassembly and cleaning mechanism 7, when the assembly bracket 4 is connected to the soil discharge rack 2, the rotating assembly plate 73 on the outside of the cast iron column 71 is rotated to bring the corresponding surfaces of the first half-threaded rod 74 and the second half-threaded rod 76 into contact. Then, the anti-slip pad 77 is movably fitted onto the outside of the second half-threaded rod 76 and the first half-threaded rod 74, and a metal nut 78 is threadedly connected to the first half-threaded rod 74 and the second half-threaded rod 76, easily completing the connection between the assembly bracket 4 and the soil discharge rack 2. The assembly process is simple and easy for users to disassemble and maintain. The assembly bracket 4 can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the soil discharge rack 2, achieving the goal of facilitating cleaning.
[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model.
