[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0016] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a rock core sampling device includes a support 1, a horizontally arranged rotating shaft 2 connected to the support 1, a column 5 rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 2 via a ring bearing, a lead screw shaft 7 rotatably mounted in the column 5, a longitudinally extending mounting groove 6 opened on the column 5, a sliding block 8 installed in the mounting groove 6, the sliding block 8 meshing with the lead screw shaft 7, a drive motor 9 installed on the sliding block 8, and a core drill bit 10 installed at the bottom of the drive motor 9; The rotating shaft 2 is provided with two external threads 3, which are located on both sides of the center position of the rotating shaft 2, and locking nuts 4 are engaged on both external threads 3. In this setup, the support frame 1 serves as the basic load-bearing structure of the entire device, providing an installation and support platform for other components. The horizontally arranged rotating shaft 2 connects the support frame 1 and the column 5, and is a key component for adjusting the angle of the column 5. A ring bearing is installed between the rotating shaft 2 and the column 5 to reduce the friction when the column 5 rotates, ensuring its flexible rotation. The column 5 can rotate around the rotating shaft 2 to adapt to different sampling angle requirements. The lead screw shaft 7 rotates on its own, using threaded transmission to drive the sliding block 8 to move up and down. The longitudinally extending mounting groove 6 guides and limits the sliding block 8, ensuring that it slides in a fixed direction. The sliding block 8 meshes with the lead screw shaft 7, converting the rotational motion of the lead screw shaft 7 into its own linear motion, which in turn drives the drive motor 9 and the core drill bit 10 to move up and down. The drive motor 9 provides rotational power to the core drill bit 10, driving it to drill into the rock mass. The core drill bit 10 acts directly on the rock mass to complete the core sample extraction. The two external threads 3 on the rotating shaft 2 cooperate with the locking nut 4 to firmly fix the column 5 after the angle of the column 5 is adjusted to the correct position, preventing its rotation.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the end of the lead screw 7 extends to the outer side of the top of the column 5, and a turntable 11 for rotating the lead screw 7 is connected to the end of the lead screw 7. The turntable 11 is coaxially arranged with the lead screw 7. In this configuration, the end of the lead screw 7 extends to the outer side of the top of the column 5 and is connected to the turntable 11. The turntable 11 serves as a manually operated component, allowing the operator to rotate it to drive the lead screw 7 to rotate, thereby controlling the up-and-down movement of the sliding block 8, the drive motor 9, and the core drill bit 10.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, furthermore, universal wheels 15 with braking function are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the bracket 1. In this configuration, the universal wheels 15 at the four corners of the bottom of the bracket 1 facilitate the flexible movement of the device between different sampling locations, and their braking function can securely fix the device after reaching the sampling location.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the support 1 is further provided with two crossbars 13 and two connecting rods 12. Fasteners 14 are installed on the two crossbars 13 and the two connecting rods 12, and the two crossbars 13 and the two connecting rods 12 are connected to the support 1 via the fasteners 14. In this configuration, the two crossbars 13 and the two connecting rods 12, together with the support 1, constitute the frame structure of the device, enhancing overall stability and providing gripping points for operators, facilitating operation. The fasteners 14 are used to achieve a detachable connection between the crossbars 13, the connecting rods 12, and the support 1, allowing the positions of the crossbars 13 and the connecting rods 12 to be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, two locking nuts 4 are respectively installed on both sides of the column 5, and both locking nuts 4 are hexagonal nuts. In this configuration, the two hexagonal nuts 4 located on both sides of the column 5 are easy to operate with tools such as wrenches. By symmetrically setting them, a tightening force is applied to the column 5 from both sides, ensuring the stability of the column 5 angle during sampling.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the sliding block 8 is further slidably installed in the mounting groove 6, and the shape of the sliding block 8 is adapted to the cross-section of the mounting groove 6. In this configuration, the sliding block 8 is adapted to the cross-section of the mounting groove 6, so that the sliding block 8 can slide smoothly in the mounting groove 6. The mounting groove 6 plays a precise guiding and limiting role for the sliding block 8, ensuring that the sliding block 8 drives the drive motor 9 and the core drill bit 10 to move up and down stably, thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of the sampling work.
[0022] The implementation principle of the rock core sampling device in this embodiment is as follows: When using this rock core sampling device, the device is first moved to the sampling position on the slope by means of the universal wheels 15 with braking function installed at the four corners of the bottom of the support 1. After reaching the designated position, the braking function of the universal wheels 15 is activated to firmly fix it on the slope surface and prevent the device from shifting during the sampling process. Then, the column 5 is rotated around the rotating shaft 2 by using the ring bearing connection structure between the column 5 and the rotating shaft 2. The angle of the column 5 is adjusted according to the slope to make the column 5 vertical. The verticality of the column 5 can be detected to ensure that it is in the vertical direction. After the angle of the column 5 is adjusted to the right position, the locking nuts 4 on both sides of the column 5 on the rotating shaft 2 are tightened. The two external threads 3 and the locking nuts 4 are used to lock the column 5 firmly in the current position, forming a stable sampling support structure. During sampling, the operator stands beside the device, holding the turntable 11 coaxially mounted at the end of the lead screw shaft 7. By rotating the turntable 11 clockwise or counterclockwise, the lead screw shaft 7 rotates synchronously within the column 5. Since the sliding block 8 engages with the lead screw shaft 7 via an internal thread, and its shape matches the cross-section of the longitudinally extending mounting groove 6 on the column 5, the sliding block 8, driven by the threaded transmission, slides smoothly up and down along the length of the mounting groove 6 as the lead screw shaft 7 rotates. The drive motor 9 and the core drill bit 10, fixedly mounted below the sliding block 8, move accordingly. As the drive motor 9 starts, the core drill bit 10 rotates at high speed and cuts into the rock mass. At the same time, it is fed downward under the action of the sliding block 8, thus completing the vertical core sampling work. In addition, the crossbar 13 and connecting rod 12 on the support 1 can be detachably connected by fastener 14. They can be flexibly assembled and disassembled according to the actual sampling needs. While providing auxiliary support and making it easy for operators to hold, it does not affect the overall movement and angle adjustment of the device, further improving the adaptability and convenience of the device in complex sloping terrain.
