[0002] The soil moisture monitoring device for saline-alkali land is an important technical means to cope with the challenge of soil salinization and ensure agricultural productivity. With the advancement of agricultural science and technology, especially in arid and semi-arid areas, the problem of soil salinization is becoming increasingly serious, threatening the healthy growth of crops and the sustainable development of farmland. In order to accurately grasp the moisture status of saline-alkali soil, scientifically regulate irrigation and drainage, and reduce the adverse effects of salt accumulation on soil and crops, the saline-alkali land soil moisture monitoring device came into being.

[0003] After searching, the invention patent with Chinese patent number CN115166212B discloses a soil moisture monitoring device;

[0004] Compared with the prior art, the invention patent with Chinese patent number CN115166212B arranges the monitoring device into a shallow component and a deep component. The shallow component and the deep component are detachably connected. At the same time, the deep component and the shallow component will establish a communication connection after being connected, so that the monitoring data in the deep component can be obtained, and the deep component can be buried underground for a long time without being dug out. Therefore, when agricultural machinery is operating, only the shallow component needs to be repeatedly buried, which reduces the depth of the buried soil, thereby reducing the workload of digging and burying while achieving accurate monitoring.

[0005] However, in the actual use of the above-mentioned device, the deep components are buried underground for a long time. Although the workload of excavation is reduced, it also means that maintenance and calibration become more difficult. Over time, the sensor may be affected by soil erosion, corrosion or biological contamination, resulting in a decrease in measurement accuracy. It is also difficult to monitor the soil moisture in saline-alkali land in real time. There is no auxiliary device on the outside of the device. It is difficult to ensure the stability of the device during detection and the outside of the device is easily affected by the external environment. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a soil moisture monitoring device for saline-alkali land. Summary of the invention
