[0011] [First Embodiment]

[0012] figure 1 Shown is a block diagram of the internal structure of the sensor according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. in figure 1 Among them, the sensor includes a power module 20, an oscillation unit 31, a drive unit 32, an output probe 33, a feedback probe 41, a feedback data acquisition unit 42, an amplifying unit 43, a voltage-current conversion unit 44, a power input line 11, and a voltage / Current output line 12,. The voltage-current conversion unit 44 is an optional unit.

[0013] See figure 1 The oscillating unit 31 outputs a 100MHz standard test frequency signal, which is added to the output probe 33 via the drive unit 32. According to different soil moisture conditions, the feedback probe 41 obtains a feedback signal related to the soil moisture condition, and the feedback data acquisition unit 42 , The amplifying unit 43 outputs a voltage signal related to the soil moisture condition, or outputs a current signal re...

[0014] [Second Embodiment]

[0015] figure 2 Shown is a block diagram of a sensor according to a second embodiment of the present invention. in figure 2 The sensor includes a frequency domain reflection type soil moisture sensor body 1, an output probe 33, a feedback probe 41, a power supply and output cable 10, and a voltage-current conversion unit 44. The voltage-current conversion unit 44 is an optional unit.

[0016] See figure 2 , The frequency domain reflection type soil moisture sensor body 1 uses resin potting, the output probe 33 and the symmetrically distributed feedback probe 41 use stainless steel probes, which can effectively prevent soil, moisture and other substances from damaging the sensor unit and probe. Influence, as an optional unit, the voltage-current conversion unit 44 is arranged outside the sensor body, which can realize current or voltage output, and is convenient for connecting various test instruments.

Abstract

The invention provides a soil humidity sensor based on a frequency domain reflection principle, which can realize rapid soil moisture measurement in a single-point single-depth mode or a multi-point multi-depth mode within a certain area range. The frequency domain reflection-type soil humidity sensor adopts current or voltage output, can be connected with various testing devices conveniently; the current output has very strong anti-interference capability, which facilitates long-distance transmission. The frequency domain reflection-type soil humidity sensor is convenient for application; the sensor is only needed to be inserted into a PVC pipe which is embedded at a place to be detected in advance, and the measurement only needs several seconds. The frequency domain reflection-type soil humidity sensor manufactured according to figure 1 has the following function that through the measurement of a soil dielectric constant epsilon, the frequency domain reflection-type soil humidity sensor can realize rapid soil moisture measurement in a single-point single-depth mode or a multi-point multi-depth mode within a certain area range.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a soil moisture sensor, in particular to a frequency domain reflective soil moisture sensor. Background technique [0002] Soil moisture content is an important physical parameter of soil. Soil water is the link between surface water and groundwater. It plays an important role in the formation, transformation and consumption of water resources. The changes in the vegetation ecosystem on the pad surface are of great significance. At the same time, soil moisture content is also a key indicator of agricultural production conditions, and the soil moisture content plays a vital role in the growth of crops. The decomposition and mineralization of organic nutrients in the soil is inseparable from water. The chemical fertilizers applied to the soil can only be dissolved in water. The migration of nutrient ions to the surface of the root system and the absorption of nutrients by the crop roots must be achieved through the water medium,...
