Abstract

In order to solve the problems of low efficiency and poor safety of manual sampling in the water quality monitoring of ecological floating islands, an autonomous mobile water sample collection device was designed. The device integrates Beidou/GPS dual-mode navigation, and has functions such as water sample collection, depth adjustment, and sampling tube sealing position movement. The sampling depth is accurately controlled by the lead screw mechanism, the control deviation is less than 10mm, and the capping torque of the capping machine can be maintained in the optimal sealing area of 2.5N-4N, which can provide a technical reference for the treatment of ecological floating islands.
