SOIL PROBING DEVICE HAVING A STRING OF FLEXIBLY CONNECTED ROD SECTIONS

摘要

A soil probing device for determining properties of soil during penetration into ground using a soil probing device. The soil probing device has a measuring probe, a plurality of rod sections each having a central axis for assembly of the probing rod, driving means for penetrating the probing rod into the ground, and a measuring means for determining properties of the ground during penetration of the probing rod into the ground. The probing rod while penetrated into the ground is extendable each time by a new one of the rod sections. Each of the rod sections are provided at their outer ends with complementary male and female locking parts which in an axially aligned position of adjacent rod sections, are movable relative to each other from an unlocked into a locked position and from the locked position into the unlocked position.

1. A soil probing device comprising:
a measuring probe; a plurality of rod sections each having a central axis for assembly of a probing rod, the probing rod part of the measuring probe; driving means for penetrating the probing rod into the ground, the probing rod while penetrated into the ground extendable each time by a new one of the plurality of rod sections; and a measuring means for determining properties of the ground during penetration of the probing rod into the ground, wherein each of the rod sections are provided at their outer ends with complementary male and female locking parts that, in an axially aligned position of adjacent rod sections, are movable relative to each other from an unlocked into a locked position and from the locked position into the unlocked position, and further wherein the adjacent rod sections are flexibly connected with each other by means of a flexible connection organ that allows the adjacent rod sections, in the unlocked position of the locking parts of each rod section, to be flexibly moveable from a non-aligned storage position into said axially aligned position and from the axially aligned position into the non-aligned storage position.
