Belonging to the field of marine resource exploration equipment, the invention relates to a portable pressure maintaining gravity sampler, which comprises an extraction hole, an empennage, a counterweight, a connecting piece, a control piece, a large spring, a control mechanism shell, a positioning block, a release
pipe, a small spring, a spacer pin, a sliding
pipe, a pressure maintaining
pipe, a closed ring, a mandrel, a
flap valve, a
check valve ball, a sampling pipe, a one-way flap, a
tool bit, a drain hole, a
limiter and a pipe body. According to the design scheme, the sampler is provided, through the design of the control mechanism shell, the pressure maintaining pipe and the sampling pipe, a light-weight pressure maintaining structure is provided, and complex pressure compensation or a hydraulic
system is not needed; in addition, a sealing and pressure maintaining device is optimized, the in-situ pressure of the
seabed sediment can be stably maintained so as to guarantee the integrity of the sample, meanwhile, the operation process of the sampling process is simplified, the manufacturing cost and the fault risk are reduced, and the dual requirements of marine geological research, mineral resource exploration and other scenes for high-quality samples and efficient operation are met.
