Inventor

Associate Professor Chou, Yu Cheng

Department

Institute of Undersea Technology

Title

Automatic push corer system

Patent No.

US10,605,023B2

Issued Date

Mar. 31, 2020

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an automatic push corer system including a base, a power group, a Geneva transmission group, an intermittent transmission group, a vertical coring transmission group, a clamp group and a coring group. The power group is used to drive the Geneva transmission group. The Geneva transmission group is configured to perform a first intermittent rotary motion. The intermittent transmission group is configured to perform a second intermittent rotary motion. The vertical coring transmission group is configured to cooperate with the second intermittent rotary motion to perform a third intermittent rotary motion. The clamp group is configured to cooperate with the third intermittent rotary motion to perform a lifting reciprocation. The coring group is configured to cooperate with the first intermittent rotary motion and the lifting reciprocation to respectively complete a coring operation and a tubing replacing operation. Therefore, the automatic push corer system may use a single power source to complete positioning and coring operations on the marine sediment.
