Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a soil sampling device designed to enhance efficiency and accuracy in soil analysis processes. The soil sampling device includes a computer system for data storage and processing, along with a display screen for visualizing collected scan data. Equipped with a GPS sensor, the device precisely identifies soil sampling locations. A sampling chamber ensures sample integrity by blocking ambient light during spectroscopy readings and facilitates sample disposal post-testing. Operating with a core rod column and an auger, the device efficiently extracts soil samples while homogenizing materials. A driver mechanism propels the auger, supported by a homogenization cylinder for mixing soil samples. Additional features include a stomp pad for depth control during sampling, a calibration standard mechanism for sensor calibration, and an sampling element/auger cover for sample containment. The soil sampling device ensures ease of use, maintenance, and accurate soil analysis, contributing to improved agricultural practices and environmental monitoring.
