A reedtype coring mechanism of lunar soil sampler which can satisfy the demand of automatic sampling is advanced in this paper.The influence of lunar soil character on sampling has been considered. The coring mechanism can sample and obturate lunar soil、unlock and separate drill stem from the sampler. Besides it can realize repeated coring.Mechanics analysis of the reed is applied to prove the reliability of design.Coring experiments show the character of coring mechanism and applied the adaptability to different objects, and incarnate that the function of coring is valid. Key words：lunar soil sampler; coring mechanism; reed-type; obturation; unlock
