Title:
SOIL SAMPLING METHOD AND DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/131882
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and device for sampling soil. In the method, a frame assembly (110, 120) is attached to a vehicle (184) positioned on a soil surface. A proximate section (130) of a rotatable arm is rotated by an impelling device (114). The rotatable arm also has a distant section (140) which includes a soil probe (150). The proximate (130) and the distant (140) sections of the rotatable arm are pivotably interconnected by a second pivot axis (132). During operation, the rotatable arm describes an oscillating pattern which includes two phases. The phases includes a first phase wherein the soil probe is operable to retract a sample of soil, and a second phase wherein the soil probe is operable to engage with a soil removing device in order to detach the sample of soil from the soil probe.
