Apparatus for collecting surface seabed sediment and apparatus for collecting seabed sediment using the same

摘要

An apparatus for collecting surface seabed sediment. A cylindrical cover part is connected to a trigger, has an open bottom end, and has a position maintaining part disposed therein. A holder part is coupled with the position maintaining part, and has a longitudinal hollow space defined therein. A pipe-shaped sediment collecting part is detachably coupled at one end with a bottom end of the cover part, and has a receiving space defined therein, such that seabed sediment is accommodated within the receiving space. A head part is disposed at one end thereof on the other end of the sediment collecting part, has a hollow space defined therein, and has an insert blade on a periphery. A catcher part is disposed on an inner circumference of the head part, and allows seabed sediment to enter the receiving space of the sediment collecting part while preventing the collected sediment from being lost.

主权项

1. An apparatus for collecting surface seabed sediment comprising:
a cylindrical cover part connected to a trigger, the cylindrical cover part having (a) an open bottom end, (b) a pair of support members, where a first end of each of the support members is engaged with an inner surface of a top end of the cylindrical cover part and where the support members are spaced apart from a central portion of the cylindrical cover part and disposed in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the cylindrical cover part, and (c) a position maintaining part disposed at a second end of each of the support members; a holder part coupled with the position maintaining part, the holder part having a longitudinal hollow space defined therein; a pipe-shaped sediment collecting part including (a) a first end detachably coupled with the position maintaining part via a holder part and arranged such that a longitudinal direction of the pipe-shaped sediment collecting part is in a direction of the force of gravity, and (b) a receiving space defined therein, the receiving space configured to receive seabed sediment; a head part including, (a) an end disposed on a second end of the pipe-shaped sediment collecting part, (b) a hollow space defined therein, and (c) an insert blade on a periphery of the head part, the insert blade configured to insert the head part into a surface of a seabed; and a catcher part on an inner circumference of the head part, the catcher part configured to allow seabed sediment to be received by the receiving space of the pipe-shaped sediment collecting part while preventing the collected seabed sediment from exiting the pipe-shaped collecting part.
