[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5A soil moisture detection device includes a main body 1, an installation mechanism, and a replacement mechanism. The installation mechanism includes a first spring 2, a push plate 3, a mounting frame 4, and a main connecting sleeve 5. The first spring 2 is fixedly installed inside the main body 1, and its other end is fixedly connected to the push plate 3. The push plate 3 is installed on the main body 1 and slidably connected to the main body 1. The mounting frame 4 is installed on the main body 1 and is slidably connected to the main body 1 and cooperates with the push plate 3. The main connecting sleeve 5 is installed on the mounting frame 4 and is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 4 and cooperates with the main body 1. The replacement mechanism includes a probe 6, a second spring 7, a blocking plate 8, and a secondary connecting sleeve 9. The probe 6 is installed on the mounting frame 4 and cooperates with the blocking plate 8. The second spring 7 is fixedly installed in the mounting frame 4, and its other end is fixedly connected to the blocking plate 8. The blocking plate 8 is installed on the mounting frame 4 and slidably connected to the mounting frame 4. The secondary connecting sleeve 9 is installed on the probe 6 and is rotatably connected to the probe 6 and cooperates with the mounting frame 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, the installation mechanism includes a first spring 2, a push plate 3, a mounting bracket 4, and a main connecting sleeve 5. In use, the mounting bracket 4 can be installed on the mounting plate 13 of the main body 1. During installation, the mounting bracket 4 contacts the push plate 3 and pushes the push plate 3 to slide on the first sliding groove 16 and the first through rod 17. When the push plate 3 slides, the limiting block 25 on the push plate 3 slides in the limiting groove 24. The main connecting sleeve 5 of the mounting bracket 4 is also threadedly engaged with the main body 1. The first external thread 21 on the main connecting sleeve 5 is threadedly engaged with the first internal thread 20, so that the mounting bracket 4 can be fixedly installed on the main body 1. In use, the probe 6 is inserted into the soil. At this time, the operator can operate on the button 11 and the knob 12 of the main body 1, so that the data can be displayed on the display screen 10 to complete the soil detection.

[0032] In this embodiment, the replacement mechanism includes a probe 6, a second spring 7, a baffle plate 8, and a secondary connecting sleeve 9. When the mounting frame 4 is installed on the main body 1, different probes 6 can be replaced according to the characteristics of the soil. When replacing the probe 6, the probe 6 is installed on the mounting frame 4, and the probe 6 contacts the baffle plate 8. The baffle plate 8 can slide on the second slide groove 19 and the second through rod 18. When the secondary connecting sleeve 9 installed on the probe 6 is threadedly engaged with the mounting frame 4, the second external thread 23 on the secondary connecting sleeve 9 is threadedly engaged with the second internal thread 22 on the mounting frame 4. During this process, the probe 6 contacts the connector 14, and the probe 6 cooperates with the connecting hole 15 in the connector 14, so that the probe 6 can connect to the main body 1, thereby transmitting the moisture data in the soil.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] In summary, during use, before installing the mounting bracket 4 onto the main body 1, different probes 6 can be replaced according to the soil characteristics. When replacing the probe 6, the probe 6 is installed onto the mounting bracket 4, and the probe 6 contacts the baffle plate 8. Pressing the baffle plate 8 allows it to slide on the second slide groove 19 and the second through rod 18. When the secondary connecting sleeve 9 installed on the probe 6 engages with the threaded connection of the mounting bracket 4, the second external thread 23 on the secondary connecting sleeve 9 engages with the second internal thread 22 on the mounting bracket 4. During this process, the probe 6 contacts the connector 14, and the probe 6 mates with the connecting hole 15 in the connector 14, allowing the probe 6 to connect to the main body 1. The data on soil moisture is transmitted. After the probe 6 is replaced, the mounting bracket 4 can be fixedly installed on the main body 1. During installation, the mounting bracket 4 contacts the push plate 3 and pushes the push plate 3 to slide on the first slide groove 16 and the first through rod 17. When the push plate 3 slides, the limiting block 25 on the push plate 3 slides in the limiting groove 24. The main connecting sleeve 5 of the mounting bracket 4 is also threadedly engaged with the main body 1. The first external thread 21 on the main connecting sleeve 5 is threadedly engaged with the first internal thread 20, so that the mounting bracket 4 can be fixedly installed on the main body 1. When in use, the probe 6 is inserted into the soil. At this time, the operator can operate on the button 11 and the knob 12 on the main body 1, so that the data can be displayed on the display screen 10, and the soil detection is completed.

[0035] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
