Apparatus for sampling in the underwater

Device capable of collecting small-area underwater samples

This technology is about a device that can collect samples existing in the water.

The importance of deep-sea exploration is emerging due to the depletion of energy resources on land and various reasons, but the method of collecting large quantities of samples by dragging the existing trawl net by boat has the problem of not only being inconvenient in having to do the work with a large boat, but also being unsuitable when collecting samples in a narrow area. In order to solve these problems, this technology proposes a new underwater sampling device that can collect samples that exist underwater or in the deep sea.

This technology not only makes it possible to easily collect samples from the deep sea using a small amount of force, and easily collects deep sea samples in a narrow area, but also makes it possible to easily collect deep sea samples without a separate external power supply.

Key Features:

• The sample inlet is located on one side of the internal space of a chamber having a connected internal space.
• A support member and a support force removal member that removes the support force inside the internal space open the inlet so that the blocking member can block the inlet.
• An underwater sample flows into the inlet due to the pressure difference between the internal space and the outside of the chamber.
• The blocking member is formed so that it can be accommodated within the receiving groove in the event that the support member bursts or contracts.
