Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of groundwater monitoring technology, and in particular to a sampling device for groundwater investigation and monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Groundwater survey and monitoring sampling devices can be divided into well point samplers, undisturbed samplers, and deep sampling devices. Well point samplers can be further subdivided into Belle tubes, which extract water samples from wells through pumping and manual operation, and pump samplers, which use sampling pumps to extract groundwater and deliver it to sampling containers through pipelines. Undisturbed samplers are divided into piston samplers, which use pistons to avoid disturbing the groundwater environment, and vacuum samplers, which use vacuum pumps to extract groundwater and reduce disturbance. Deep sampling devices can be divided into cable samplers, which are cable-driven and suitable for deep well sampling, and rope samplers, which use ropes to lower the sampler into the deep well.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209102440U, which discloses a well-washing and sampling device for groundwater monitoring wells used in site surveys. The device includes a Belle tube with a water collection nozzle installed at its front end; the rear end of the Belle tube is connected to a folding ruler via a flexible connecting rope. With this structure, the water collection nozzle is located at the lower end of the Belle tube. During water sampling, the upper end of the nozzle is inserted into the lower end of the Belle tube, allowing for rapid water collection. While this achieves the goal of rapid groundwater sampling, when sampling from different depths of the same groundwater source, the height can only be adjusted manually by pulling upwards, resulting in reduced sampling efficiency and lower sample accuracy. Furthermore, after sampling, the device cannot be quickly retracted for portability, reducing its practicality. Utility Model Content

Specifically, the rotating handle 22 is designed to facilitate the user in lifting the entire device for carrying and moving. The armrest groove 20 is designed to facilitate the user in placing their fingers inside, making it easier and more stable to use the rotating handle 22. The anti-slip sleeve 21 increases the friction of the outer wall of the rotating handle 22, preventing the user from slipping out of their hand while using the rotating handle 22. The sponge pad 17 is used to cushion and protect the items placed in the storage box 208.

[0031] Please see the appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 6 The bottom of the bracket 1 is fixedly connected with multiple anti-slip plates 19, which are all fixedly connected at the same horizontal height. The anti-slip plates 19 are used to increase the friction at the bottom of the bracket 1. The outer walls of the water pump 7 and the air pump 4 are provided with arc-shaped plates 13. The inner wall of the arc-shaped plates 13 is slidably connected to the outer walls of the water pump 7 and the air pump 4. The arc-shaped plates 13 are used to limit the water pump 7 and the air pump 4. The top of the arc-shaped plates 13 is threaded with multiple screws 25 near the edge. The right side of the positioning plate 3 is fixedly connected with a controller 24. The controller 24 is electrically connected to the water pump 7 and the air pump 4 respectively. The screws 25 are used to fix the arc-shaped plates 13. Specifically, the arc plate 13 can fit against the outer wall of the water pump 7 and the air pump 4 to limit their movement, while the screw 25 can fix the arc plate 13 in the required position so that the water pump 7 and the air pump 4 can be fixed in the required position. The controller 24 can control the start and stop of the entire structure. The anti-slip plate 19 is used to increase the friction at the bottom of the support 1, thereby improving the friction between the entire device and the ground and ensuring stability during operation.

[0032] Working principle: When groundwater needs to be sampled, the hollow tube 11 is first dropped into the sampling site so that it sinks vertically to the bottom of the water. Then, the water pump 7 is started so that the groundwater can pass through the sampling tube 6 and enter the hollow tube 11 through the bottom inlet hole 10. After being filtered to remove larger impurities, the groundwater enters the hollow tube 11, then enters the floating block 15 through the pumping hole 8, and finally enters the sampling tube 6, where it is extracted by the water pump 7. When it is necessary to adjust the sampling of samples at different water levels, the air pump 4 is started to draw in outside air into the air tube 5, and then into the air bag 14, which gradually fills with air and floats upward, thereby adjusting the alignment of the pumping hole 8 with the different inlet holes 10. When it is necessary to descend, the air in the air bag 14 is simply extracted again, and then, under the action of the counterweight 16, the floating block 15 will gradually descend along the hollow tube 11. After collection is completed, the micro motor 201 is started to drive the rotating rod 202 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixing plate 203 to rotate. This allows the fixing plate 203 to drive the hollow winding column 12 to rotate between the two positioning discs 3, so that the air tube 5 and the sampling tube 6 can be wound around the left and right sides of the positioning ring 204 respectively. After the air tube 5 and the sampling tube 6 are completely wound up, the anti-slip pad 18 is rotated so that the rotating plate 207 can rotate along the hinge 205 to open the storage box 208. After the hollow tube 11 and its internal structure are placed into the storage box 208, the rotating plate 207 is rotated to close. Then, the rotating block 206 is rotated to limit the rotation plate 207, thereby storing the entire device.

[0033] 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.
