BEST MODE

Mode for Invention

(5) The advantages, the features, and schemes of achieving the advantages and features will be apparently comprehended by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments, which are detailed later in detail, together with accompanying drawings. The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments but includes various applications and modifications. The embodiments will make the disclosure of the present invention complete, and allow those skilled in the art to completely comprehend the scope of the present invention.

(6) Hereinafter, a container fixing holder of a time-series sediment trapping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to accompanying drawings.

(7) FIG. 3 is a schematic sectional view showing a container fixing holder of a time-series sediment trapping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

(8) It should be understood that the details of the same elements as those of FIG. 2 among various elements shown in FIG. 3 will be omitted, and the elements of FIG. 3 are schematically shown differently from those of FIG. 2.

(9) It may be recognized from FIG. 3 that a container fixing older of a time-series sediment trapping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is provided in the form of a circular holder 38 to fix lower ends of a plurality of time-series sediment trapping containers 36 fixed to a rotation plate 30.

(10) In this case, preferably, the circular polder 38 is fixed by at least one support 37.

(11) The support 37 is fixed to a lower end of the rotation plate 30. In this case, an upper end of the support 37 is screw-coupled to the rotation plate 30 (not shown). In addition, it is more preferred that an upper portion of the support 37 is further fixed to the rotation plate 30 by a nut 37-1 in order to prevent the support 37 from being released from the rotation plate 30.

(12) Preferably, the support 37 is coupled to the circular holder 38 by nuts 37-2 and 37-3. In order to prevent the support 37 from being separated from the circular holder 38, as shown in FIG. 3, the nuts 37-2 and 37-3 are preferably fixed to upper and lower portions of the circular holder 38, respectively, so that locking is doubly performed.

(13) As schematically shown in FIG. 3, the circular holder 38 is preferably formed therein with a plurality of mounting holes 39 to securely mount the time-series sediment trapping containers 36. In addition, preferably, the mounting holes 39 have inner portions enough to smoothly insert outer portions of the time-series sediment trapping containers 36 into the mounting holes 39. Rubber rings (not shown) may be additionally provided in the inner portions of the mounting holes 39 to absorb impact.

(14) In addition, the number of circular holders 38 to be installed may be provided not only to the extent of fixing only lower ends of the time-series sediment trapping containers 36 as shown in drawings, but to the extent of additionally fixing intermediates portions of the time-series sediment trapping containers 36. In this case, a plurality of time-series sediment trapping containers 36 can be actively prevented from being broken or mixed.

(15) In addition, the mounting holes 39 formed in the circular holder 38 are preferably formed corresponding to positions of the time-series sediment trapping containers 36 fixed to the rotation plate 30.

(16) Accordingly, after sediment has been completely trapped into one of the time-series sediment trapping containers 36, the rotation plate 30 is rotated through the rotation of the motor 50 and sediment is trapped into another time-series sediment trapping container 36. In this case, the time-series sediment trapping containers 36 securely mounted in the circular holder 38 may be rotated in the same sequence. In other words, the time-series sediment trapping containers 36 may be prevented by the above rotation.

(17) Hereinafter, the detailed shape of the circular holder 38 will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

(18) FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view showing a container fixing holder of a time-series sediment trapping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

(19) Referring to FIG. 4, the circular holder 38 is formed therein with a support coupling hole to which the support 37 is coupled, and the mounting holes 39. It may be recognized that the circular holder 38 shown in FIG. 4 is substantially matched with the positions of the time-series sediment trapping containers 36 fixed to the rotation plate 30 shown in FIG. 3.

(20) As described above, the mounting holes 39 are preferably formed at positions corresponding to positions to fix the time-series sediment trapping containers 36, and it can be recognized from FIG. 4 that the number of the time-series sediment trapping containers 36 or the mounting holes 39 is 16. Naturally, the number of the time-series sediment trapping containers 36 or the mounting holes 39 is not limited to 16 described above, but may be varied. Accordingly, it should be understood that the number of the time-series sediment trapping containers 36 or the mounting holes 39 is variable.

(21) Although the container fixing holder of the time-series sediment trapping device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has been described for the illustrative purpose, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

(22) According to the present invention, since the time-series sediment trapping container of the time-series sediment trapping device is fixed by the container fixing holder, the time-series sediment trapping container are not broken or missed, so that data can be completely acquired in time series when the time-series sediment is trapped.
