Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of herbaceous rainfall interception technology, specifically to a herbaceous rainfall interception measurement device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Herbaceous rain interception is a method of collecting and utilizing rainwater using plants. By planting herbaceous plants with strong water absorption capacity and dense root systems, rainwater can be effectively intercepted in the soil around the plants, reducing runoff loss and increasing soil moisture storage. The main functions of herbaceous rain interception are to reduce water loss, increase soil moisture storage, provide the water needed for plant growth, improve the ecological environment, and prevent flood disasters.

[0003] In response, Chinese patent application number CN103018422B discloses a device and method for measuring the amount of rainfall intercepted by herbaceous plants. The device includes a thin-walled barrel with openings at the top and bottom, a base for the thin-walled barrel, and a rain collection trough. The base has a groove that fits the lower edge of the barrel. Multiple through holes are formed at the bottom of the base. The rain collection trough is a funnel structure with openings at the top and bottom. The thin-walled barrel is placed on the base, and the base is placed on the trough. This invention is suitable for long-term field observation of the interception process of natural rainfall by the herbaceous layer under natural conditions. It does not damage the original state of the herbaceous layer and facilitates the measurement and recording of the rainfall interception process under natural rainfall conditions.

[0004] In response to the aforementioned comparative documents and existing technologies, it is proposed that herbaceous rainwater interception can collect rainwater, which can prevent soil erosion caused by rainwater. During natural rainfall, strong winds are usually present. Rainwater interception devices can be used to collect rainwater and then measure the interception amount. However, the interception process requires consideration of the complex shape of herbaceous plants. Rainwater on the leaves cannot be collected along a predetermined trajectory, so some rainwater on the leaves or stems cannot be collected, resulting in a certain deviation in the accuracy of the measurement.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a herbaceous rain interception measurement device and method are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a herbaceous rain interception measurement device and method, which solves the problem of certain deviations in the interception measurement in the prior art.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] To further understand the content of this invention, a detailed description of the invention will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Combination Figures 1-8 The present invention provides a herbaceous rain interception measuring device, comprising an interception component 1, the interception component 1 including an interception dish 11, a fixed plate 12 connected to the bottom end of the interception dish 11, a collection port 13 connected to the top end of the interception dish 11, an isolation net 14 installed on the inner wall of the collection port 13, an adjustment component 2 fixedly connected to the outside of the interception component 1, the adjustment component 2 including a fixing frame 22, a fixing frame 22 fixedly connected to the outside of the interception component 1, a bolt 21 embedded inside the fixing frame 22, a push cover 23 connected to the top end of the bolt 21, a constraint block 24 embedded inside the push cover 23, a sliding connection between the push cover 23 and the constraint block 24, and a wrapping sleeve 25 connected to the top end of the constraint block 24;

[0033] A guide component 4 is provided on the inner wall of the packaging sleeve 25. A guide port 15 is embedded inside the collection port 13. Both the collection port 13 and the guide port 15 are funnel-shaped. A groove for embedding herbs is provided at the bottom of the retention dish 11. When conducting retention tests on herbs, the herbs need to be placed inside the retention dish 11. In rainy weather, rainwater will drip through the isolation net 14 onto the leaves of the herbs and remain there. The design of the isolation net 14 can prevent fallen leaves from falling directly into the retention dish 11. Some rainwater will also drip directly into the retention dish 11, and then circulate inside. The rainwater enters the inside of the collection dish 31 and is then discharged through the collection dish 31. When the rain stops, the amount of rainwater retained by the herbaceous plant leaves is the amount of rainwater retained by the herbaceous plant. When measuring the amount of retained rainwater, the collection dish 31 is first sealed and controlled by the automatic adjustment of the electric opening at the bottom of the collection dish 31. At this time, the stem of the herbaceous plant is slightly supported by the constraint block 24, causing it to tilt. After tilting, the rainwater will drip onto the upper end of the collection tray 32 and be collected. Another part of the rainwater will follow the stem and finally be collected by the conduit 35. By measuring the amount collected, the amount of rainwater retained by the herbaceous plant can be tested.

[0034] A fixing ring 26 is connected to the bottom end of the guide port 15, a column 29 is connected to the bottom end of the fixing ring 26, and a support plate 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the column 29. One side of the constraint block 24 is embedded in the inside of the push cover 23, and the other side is embedded in the inside of the support plate 28. A set of through slots is opened inside the constraint block 24, and a return spring 27 is embedded in the inside of the through slots. The bolt 21 and the push cover 23 are connected by a rotating shaft. The push cover 23 is wrapped around the upper and lower sides of the return spring 27 and is slidably connected to the support plate 28.

[0035] The guide component 4 includes a vertical groove 41. The top width of the wrapping sleeve 25 is greater than the bottom width. The inner side of the wrapping sleeve 25 has a vertical groove 41 and a horizontal inclined groove 42. A water outlet groove 43 is provided on the inner wall of the wrapping sleeve 25. The vertical groove 41 extends vertically downward through the interior of the horizontal inclined groove 42. The bottom end of the horizontal inclined groove 42 is provided with a water outlet groove 43. The end of the water outlet groove 43 corresponds to the guide tube 35. In order to better protect the herbaceous plants, rainy weather is usually accompanied by strong winds, which may cause the stems of the herbaceous plants to break. To avoid such problems, the bolt 21 is rotated first. After rotation, the position of the push cover 23 changes. The push cover 23 then pushes the constraint block 24. By pushing the constraint block 24, it clamps the stem of the herbaceous plant, thus supporting the stem.

[0036] A collection component 3 is embedded inside the support plate 28. The collection component 3 includes a collection plate 32, the top surface of which is arc-shaped. A through hole 33 is located at the lowest point of the top surface of the collection plate 32. Rainwater dripping onto the upper end of the collection plate 32 flows into the collection dish 31 through the through hole 33 and the guide tube. The collection plate 32 is embedded inside the support plate 28, and a through hole 33 is opened at the upper end of the collection plate 32. A fitting arc plate 34 is connected to the inner side of the sleeve 25. A guide tube 35 is embedded inside the fitting arc plate 34. The end of the guide tube 35 is embedded inside the collection dish 31. An electrically controlled drain hole is opened at the bottom of the collection dish 31. A level gauge is also installed inside the collection dish 31. A sealing cap 36 is installed on the top of the collection dish 31, covering the top of the collection dish 31. The guide tube 35 passes through the sealing cap 36 and is embedded inside the collection dish 31. In order to achieve accurate measurement of the amount of herbaceous plant interception, the specific operation is as follows:

[0037] First, the herbaceous plant stems are supported by the constraint block 24 and the wrapping sleeve 25. A rain sensor, mounted on the outer wall of the interception assembly 1, determines whether it is raining. When no rain is detected, a signal is sent to the built-in processor. The processor then sends an execution command, which controls the electrically controlled drainage hole at the bottom of the collection dish 31, blocking it. After blocking, the drive device rotates the bolt 21, pushing the constraint block 24. This push causes the herbaceous plant to tilt slightly, allowing rainwater to drip onto the upper part of the collection tray 32. The rainwater then flows down the collection tray 32... Rainwater drips into the collection dish 31 for collection, while some rainwater flows down the stem. Traditional measuring equipment cannot collect rainwater at this location, leading to some errors in the measurement results. To avoid errors and improve accuracy, the rainwater on the stem flows down to the junction of the vertical groove 41 and the horizontal inclined groove 42. At this point, the rainwater gradually flows down the interior of the horizontal inclined groove 42 and eventually flows into the interior of the outlet groove 43. The rainwater flowing into the outlet groove 43 enters the interior of the guide tube 35 and finally enters the collection dish 31, thus achieving the collection of rainwater on the stem.

[0038] The entire process of collecting herbaceous plants will not damage their root systems or their original ecosystem, and the protection of the herbaceous plants will be enhanced by supporting their stems.

[0039] A method for measuring rain interception by herbaceous plants involves selecting suitable herbaceous plants with long root systems and abundant leaf area, removing debris from the land, and improving the soil if necessary. After defining the area, a collection dish 11 is placed in the designated location and fixed in the area using a fixing plate 12. Measurement begins by embedding the herbaceous plant into the collection dish 11. After embedding, the push cover 23 is adjusted so that the constraint block 24 and the fitting arc plate 34 support the stem of the herbaceous plant. Rainwater in the area drips onto the leaves of the herbaceous plant and falls through the leaves to the upper end of the collection tray 32, where it is collected by the collection dish 31. The collected water is measured and recorded using a level gauge. After the rain stops, the inside of the collection dish 31 is sealed, and the rainwater trapped on the leaves is collected and recorded inside the collection dish 31.
