Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water ecological monitoring equipment technology, and more specifically, to a water sampling device based on real-time monitoring of algae indicators in water bodies. Background Technology
[0002] Eutrophication and the resulting algal blooms are global water environment problems. Timely and accurate monitoring of algal community structure, density, and trends in water bodies is crucial for assessing water quality and providing early warnings of algal bloom risks. Currently, monitoring of algal indicators in water bodies mainly relies on a combination of manual field sampling and laboratory analysis.
[0003] In existing technologies, the conventional water sampling process typically involves the following steps: staff travel by boat to a pre-designated location, collect water samples using tools such as water samplers or water bottles, then seal and preserve the samples at low temperatures before sending them back to the laboratory as quickly as possible. In the laboratory, analysts need to perform manual microscopic examination and counting using a microscope, or utilize specialized instruments (such as spectrophotometers and flow cytometers) to measure indicators such as chlorophyll a concentration, algal population, and biomass.
[0004] However, the aforementioned traditional methods have several inherent drawbacks: First, they lack timeliness, taking a long time from sampling to obtaining analytical results, making it impossible to achieve real-time or near-real-time monitoring of algae in water bodies and difficult to capture rapid changes in algae. Second, they are labor-intensive and costly, especially for water bodies requiring high-frequency monitoring, necessitating a large investment of manpower for repetitive field sampling and laboratory analysis. Third, the representativeness and accuracy of samples are easily affected; algal activity may change during transportation and storage, causing analytical results to fail to accurately reflect the actual water conditions at the moment of sampling.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a water sampling device based on real-time monitoring of algae indicators in water bodies, which can ensure the timeliness and accuracy of water sampling, and also save labor costs. Utility Model Content

Specifically, the microscopic camera is a common imaging instrument for the microscopic world, and microscopic cameras are generally classified into two types according to the image sensor used: CCD cameras and CMOS cameras (digital cameras and analog cameras). In the specific implementation of this utility model, the water sample based on real-time monitoring of algae indicators... The water sampling device uses a control component to control a water delivery component to extract water samples from the target water body and transport them to a sampling pool 2.
