Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil and rock sampling technology, and more specifically, to a geological soil and rock sampling tube. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional geological and soil sampling tubes, especially in permafrost environments, often face two major challenges. First, the freezing of the soil creates enormous sampling resistance, and forced sampling can easily damage the sample structure or the tube itself. Conventional methods rely on hammering equipment, which is cumbersome and prone to damage. Second, stratified sampling requires replacing tubes of different lengths or disassembling the entire tube, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process with low efficiency. Furthermore, it is difficult to guarantee the location accuracy of multiple samplings in complex geological formations.
[0003] Existing split-type sampling tubes mostly use threaded connections, which are slow to assemble and disassemble, and are prone to loosening and failure in vibration environments. They also lack a fast and reliable two-way locking mechanism, which cannot simultaneously meet the needs of efficient thawing of frozen soil and convenient stratified sampling, thus restricting the efficiency and sample quality of geological exploration. Therefore, in order to address the above technical problems, a geological and soil sampling tube is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model proposes a geological and soil sampling tube, comprising a sampling tube body 1, which serves as the main sampling container for holding collected soil and rock samples. A first connecting ring 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the sampling tube body 1, for connecting with an adjacent sampling tube segment. A second connecting ring 3 is fixedly connected to the other side of the sampling tube body 1, for connecting with another adjacent sampling tube segment. An installation layer 4 is provided inside the sampling tube body 1 to house a heating assembly. A heating mechanism is installed inside the installation layer 4 to heat the sampling tube in frozen soil environments.
[0025] A slot 10 is provided on one side of the first connecting ring 2. The slot 10 is used to guide the insertion of the positioning plate of the adjacent sampling tube segment. A positioning groove 11 is provided on the inner side of the slot 10. The positioning groove 11 is used to fix the rotational position of the positioning plate. A lateral positioning mechanism is installed on the outside of the second connecting ring 3. The lateral positioning mechanism is used to achieve circumferential positioning of the sampling tube segment. A retaining groove 14 is provided on the outside of the first connecting ring 2. The retaining groove 14 is used to cooperate with the positioning post to achieve axial fixation. A sliding groove 15 is provided on the outside of the second connecting ring 3. The sliding groove 15 is used to accommodate the sliding positioning post. A positioning post 16 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 15. The positioning post 16 is used to cooperate with the retaining groove to achieve axial locking. The positioning post 16 and the retaining groove 14 are matched. A compression spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 15. The compression spring 17 is used to provide the return spring force of the positioning post. The end of the compression spring 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning post 16. A quick-release mechanism is installed on the outside of the second connecting ring 3. The quick-release mechanism is used to quickly disassemble the sampling tube segment.
[0026] The heating mechanism includes a mounting base 7, a heater 8, and a heat-conducting pipe 9. The mounting base 7 is used to fix the heating assembly and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting layer 4. The heater 8 is used to generate heat and is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting base 7. The heat-conducting pipe 9 is used to uniformly conduct heat and is fixedly connected to the outside of the heater 8, and is laid on the inner side of the mounting layer 4.
[0027] The sampling tube body 1 has an external mounting groove 5 for inspecting and maintaining internal components, and the mounting groove 5 is connected to the mounting layer 4. A first sealing plate 6 is detachably connected to the external side of the sampling tube body 1 by fixing bolts. The first sealing plate 6 is used to seal the mounting groove 5 and covers the mounting groove 5.
[0028] The lateral positioning mechanism includes a fixing rod 12 and a positioning plate 13. The fixing rod 12 is used to connect the positioning plate and is fixedly connected to the outside of the second connecting ring 3. The positioning plate 13 is used to cooperate with the slot and the positioning groove to achieve circumferential positioning. The positioning plate 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod 12, and the positioning plate 13 matches both the slot 10 and the positioning groove 11. The slot 10, the positioning groove 11, and the positioning plate 13 are all arc-shaped structures, which facilitate rotational positioning.
[0029] The quick-release mechanism includes a connecting groove 18, a limiting groove 20, and a connector 21. The connecting groove 18 is used to accommodate the connector and is located outside the second connecting ring 3. The limiting groove 20 is used to restrict the movement trajectory of the connector and is located between the sliding groove 15 and the connecting groove 18. The connector 21 is used for manually operating the positioning post and is fixedly connected to the outside of the positioning post 16.
[0030] The end of the connector 21 is located inside the connecting groove 18, and the connector 21 and the limiting groove 20 are slidably connected. The slidable connection ensures the stability of the connector movement.
[0031] The second connecting ring 3 is detachably connected to a second sealing plate 19 by fixing bolts. The second sealing plate 19 is used to protect the quick release mechanism and covers the connecting groove 18.
[0032] The working principle of a geological and soil sampling tube based on an embodiment is as follows: the sampling tube is modularly designed to achieve multi-section splicing. During splicing, the second connecting ring 3 of the rear sampling tube body 1 is aligned with the first connecting ring 2 of the front section, so that the arc-shaped positioning plate 13 at the end of the fixing rod 12 is inserted into the slot 10. At this time, the positioning post 16 is squeezed back into the slide groove 15 by the first connecting ring 2, compressing the compression spring 17. The sampling tube is continued to be advanced and rotated clockwise. Under the arc-shaped guide of the slot 10, the positioning plate 13 slides into the positioning groove 11 to complete the circumferential limit. At the same time, the positioning post 16 is automatically aligned with the slot 14, and the compression spring 17 releases its elastic force to push the positioning post 16 into the slot 14 to achieve axial locking. The dual positioning mechanism ensures that the sampling tube maintains structural stability in a vibration environment.
[0033] When using the assembled sampling tube to sample frozen soil, the heating mechanism inside the mounting layer 4 is activated. The heater 8 on the mounting base 7 generates heat energy, which is evenly transferred to the inner wall of the sampling tube body 1 through the heat-conducting pipes 9 densely distributed in the mounting layer 4, melting the frozen soil to reduce sampling resistance. When disassembling, loosen the fixing bolts of the second sealing plate 19 to expose the connecting groove 18, pull the connecting piece 21 outward, and drive the positioning column 16 to slide away from the slot 14 along the limiting groove 20. At the same time, the compression spring 17 is compressed again. Then, rotate the sampling tube counterclockwise so that the positioning plate 13 retracts from the positioning groove 11 into the slot 10, and the sampling tube section can be separated. This design supports quick assembly and disassembly, which is convenient for the layered collection and independent packaging of soil samples at different depths, significantly improving the efficiency of frozen soil geological exploration.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
