Technical Field
[0001] This invention patent belongs to the field of soil testing technology. Specifically, it relates to an in-situ soil organic matter testing system and method for variable seeding. Background Technology
[0002] Soil organic matter content is an important indicator for assessing soil fertility and a key factor in crop emergence and growth. Since soil organic matter content varies across different regions, the required seeding rate also differs. Therefore, it is necessary to measure soil organic matter content in situ during sowing and adjust the seed metering device's seeding rate in real time based on this information to achieve precision sowing.
[0003] However, traditional methods for detecting soil organic matter have some limitations. For example, traditional laboratory analysis requires a significant amount of time and resources, making it unsuitable for real-time monitoring and remote surveillance. Furthermore, some field testing methods involve cumbersome soil sample processing and preparation, which can easily introduce interfering factors and affect the accuracy of the test results.

[0050] The dilution device includes a dilution chamber 17, which is integrally formed by 3D printing.

[0052] The control module includes a main controller 21, a relay 23, a display 26, a power supply 24, a transformer 29, a motor controller, and a human-machine interface 25. The power supply 24 uses a 24V power supply, and the transformer 29 is used to step down the power supply for the high-temperature probe 1, the semiconductor cooling chip 12, and the carbon dioxide sensor 18. The main controller 21 is a Raspberry Pi 4B, and the display 26 is used as the display terminal of the main controller 21. The human-machine interface 25 is designed and used on the main controller 21 using Qt Creator 5.
[0053] The system structure and functions are as follows.
[0054] The linear motion mechanism is mounted on the frame 27, and the heating device is mounted on the linear motion mechanism. The heat insulation plate 4 of the heating device is connected to the heating device fixing plate 5 of the linear motion mechanism by bolts. The function of the heat insulation plate 4 is to prevent heat from being transferred to the linear motion mechanism so as not to damage the parts on the linear motion mechanism. The control module uses PID control to make the heating device move to the designated position. After the high temperature probe 1 is preheated to the designated temperature, it is inserted into the soil. The gas to be tested is then drawn into the air guide chamber by the air pump 16 and then enters the first-stage filter device at the side along the air path.
[0055] The primary filtration device is fixed to the side of the heating device via a threaded connection to achieve initial filtration of the gas to be tested and prevent dust from affecting the detection accuracy of the carbon dioxide sensor 18.
[0056] The secondary filtration and cooling device is placed on the frame 27 and is used to perform secondary filtration of dust in the gas to be measured and to reduce the temperature of the high-temperature gas by cooling means to meet the temperature requirements of the carbon dioxide sensor 18 for the gas to be measured.
[0057] The dilution device is used to dilute the carbon dioxide concentration in the gas being tested, when the soil organic matter content is greater than 40 g·kg⁻¹. -1 At times, the concentration of carbon dioxide generated exceeds the detection range of the carbon dioxide sensor 18, so a dilution device is needed to dilute the gas. Simultaneously, the condensate produced by the secondary filtration and cooling device mixes with the filtered dust to form muddy water; the dilution device also prevents this muddy water from entering the sensor detection module.
[0058] The carbon dioxide sensor 18 is powered and transmits data via circuit board 20. The digital signal output by the carbon dioxide sensor 18 is transmitted to the main controller 21 via circuit board 20. At the same time, the power supply 24 also provides step-down power to the carbon dioxide sensor 18 via circuit board 20. Circuit board 20 transmits data with the main controller 21 via serial communication.
[0059] In the pneumatic module, in order to maximize the use of the suction power of the air pump 16 and reduce the intake of dust, the arrangement order of the devices in the air circuit is as follows: heating device, primary filter device, secondary filter and cooling device, dilution device, sensor detection module, and air pump 16.
[0060] In the control module, a Raspberry Pi 4 (Raspberry Pi 4B) is used as the main controller 21. A MicroSnow RS485 CANHAT22 is used to convert the Raspberry Pi 4's SPI communication to CAN communication for use with relay 23 and brushless motor 9. A USB-to-TTL module is used to convert the Raspberry Pi 4's USB interface to a serial communication interface for use with carbon dioxide sensor 18. Both brushless motor 9 and relay 23 are controlled via CAN communication. Brushless motor 9 uses a position loop PID control for positioning, ensuring it stably reaches the expected position. Relay 23 controls the on / off state of high-temperature probe 1, thermoelectric cooler 12, and air pump 16. A human-machine interface 25 is designed using C++ in Qt Creator 5 software on the Raspberry Pi 4. This interface controls the on / off state of high-temperature probe 1, thermoelectric cooler 12, and air pump 16, and also controls the heating device to reach its designated working position. Simultaneously, it acquires real-time concentration data from carbon dioxide sensor 18, processes it using algorithms, outputs soil organic matter data on the screen, and stores it in an Excel spreadsheet in real-time.
[0061] The principle of the detection method is as follows.
[0062] To detect organic matter in soils of different textures, a high-temperature excitation principle is used. This principle involves inserting a high-temperature object into the soil (30), causing the organic carbon in the soil to decompose and produce a large amount of carbon dioxide. The concentration of carbon dioxide is then used to predict the organic carbon content. The higher the organic carbon content in the soil (30), the higher the concentration of carbon dioxide produced. Furthermore, there is a linear positive correlation between organic carbon and organic matter content; the organic carbon content multiplied by the van Bemmelen factor equals the organic matter content. To prevent inorganic carbon in the soil (30) from interfering with the detection accuracy, the temperature of the high-temperature probe (1) needs to be controlled below 650 degrees Celsius.
[0063] The system workflow is as follows.
[0064] When detecting soil organic matter content, the high-temperature probe 1 installed on the linear motion mechanism is first powered on to raise its temperature to 500℃, while the carbon dioxide sensor 18 is preheated. After the high-temperature probe 1 and the carbon dioxide sensor 18 are preheated, the linear motion mechanism inserts the high-temperature probe 1, which has reached a temperature of 500℃, into the soil 30. The high temperature oxidizes the soil organic matter into carbon dioxide. At this time, the gas delivery chamber is in close contact with the surface of the soil 30 to prevent gas from escaping. The air pump 16 transmits the generated carbon dioxide gas sequentially through the gas delivery chamber 2, the primary filter, the secondary filter and cooling device, the air pump 16, and the dilution device to the inside of the carbon dioxide sensor 18, thereby obtaining the constantly changing carbon dioxide concentration value. The carbon dioxide concentration value obtained by the carbon dioxide sensor 18 is transmitted to the control module via serial communication for corresponding data calculation. Finally, the soil organic matter detection result is displayed on the display 26.
[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
