DEVICE FOR TAKING SOIL SAMPLES

FIELD: mechanical engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: device has vehicle with frame, supporting wheels, operator workplace and trailer for energetic means, sample-taker, made in form of rod with groove on working portion and cleaner, force gear for moving sample taker and transporters for receiving and unloading soil samples into tank at operator workplace. Supporting wheel is provided with axis rigidly held on its band, on rolling radius, on which a platform is mounted with possible rotation, connected jointly to frame via relay mechanism, which transfers to it the movement of device. Platform is provided with guides positioned in parallel to device movement vector, along which spring-loaded carriage moves, carrying sample-taker and force gear for its movement, made in form of crank-slide mechanism with one joint rhombus. Slider is connected to hydraulic cylinder with possible reciprocal movement in parallel to platform guides, and console end of rhombus link is jointly connected to sample-taker rod. ^ EFFECT: lower laboriousness, higher efficiency, higher trustworthiness. ^ 4 dwg
