Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soil detection, and in particular to a soil moisture detection device. Background Art

[0002] Soil moisture is an important parameter affecting the global water, carbon and energy cycles. Together with vegetation moisture content, it is considered to be two core variables that can identify major changes in terrestrial ecosystems. Obtaining high-precision soil moisture information is crucial for food security, water resource optimization and management, and ecological environmental protection. Common methods for detecting soil moisture include drying method, alcohol combustion method, neutron instrument method, and resistance method. Among them, the drying method is a standard method for determining soil moisture due to its simple operation, high measurement accuracy, and is often used to calibrate other measurement methods, such as a soil moisture content detection device and method disclosed in publication number CN115389740A.

[0003] However, the operating steps of the drying method in the prior art are as follows: due to the influence of plant rhizomes such as grass roots on the surface, the plant rhizomes penetrate into the ground to a certain depth, and the plant rhizomes will absorb soil moisture. In order to prevent the plant rhizomes from being carried by the soil for sampling, it is necessary to select soil at a certain depth below the surface for sampling. After digging a certain depth of the ground, samples are taken from the side walls of the dug pit to ensure the depth position of the sampled sample. The soil sample is manually taken out of the sampler with a tool, and then the sampler is wrapped and sealed. After being brought back to the laboratory, the sealing material wrapped around the outside of the sampler is removed for drying. During the entire measurement process, the sampling process and the drying process are independent of each other and there is no coordination. In addition, the drying method in the prior art is mostly to put the entire sampler carrying the soil sample into the dryer for a drying operation lasting several hours, and then measure the weight to calculate the moisture content. The overall process is time-consuming, and data cannot be obtained in real time. In addition, the sealing material cannot completely guarantee that the moisture will not evaporate during the process of bringing the soil sample back to the laboratory, which may affect the measurement results.

A force transmitting rod 35 is rotatably mounted on the lever 341, on which a force bearing rod 36 is rotatably connected, and a screw 361 is rotatably mounted on the end of the force bearing rod 36 away from the force transmitting rod 35. An internal threaded sleeve 362 is non-self-lockingly threaded on the screw 361, and the internal threaded sleeve 362 is fixed to the inner top surface of the outer shell 1. A cylindrical pushing block 37 is fixed to the end of the screw 361, and a plurality of scrapers 371 made of elastic material are evenly fixed on the outer circumferential surface of the pushing block 37. The outer diameter of the pushing block 37 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sampler 28.

[0044] One of the output ends of the dual-axis motor 31 drives the sprocket wheel 1 32 to rotate, and then drives the sprocket wheel 2 322 to rotate through the transmission of the chain 321, and the sprocket wheel 2 322 drives the bevel gear 1 33 to rotate, and the bevel gear 1 33 drives the meshing bevel gear 2 331 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 34 to rotate, and the rotation of the turntable 34 drives the lever 341 to make a circular motion, and the lever 341 drives the force rod 36 and the screw rod 361 rotatably connected to the force rod 36 through the hinged force transmission rod 35 to move, and the screw rod 361 reciprocates and linearly moves while rotating axially under the action of the internal threaded sleeve 362, driving the pusher block 37 to rotate and reciprocate at the same time, and the pusher block 37 scrapes the inner wall of the sampler 28 with the cooperation of the scraper 371 evenly fixed on its surface, thereby pushing and scraping the soil sample in the semi-cylinder sampler 28, and the soil sample leaving the sampler 28 falls into the material box 41 below under the action of gravity.

[0045] In order to achieve the purpose of drying the soil sample, the auxiliary mechanism 4 includes a material box 41, the output shaft at the other end of the dual-axis motor 31 is fixed with a clutch active end 422, one end of the rotating shaft 44 extends through the material box 41 and is fixed with a pulley 42, each adjacent two pulleys 42 are connected by a transmission belt 43, a clutch driven end 421 is fixed to the side wall of one of the pulleys 42, the clutch active end 422 is engaged or separated with the clutch driven end 421, the material box 41 is arranged below the sampler 28, a heating device 45 is arranged in the material box 41, and a plurality of rotating shafts are rotatably installed in a linear array on the inner walls on both sides of the length direction of the material box 41. 44, and each rotating shaft 44 is driven in the same direction, a plurality of breaking rods 441 are evenly fixed on the side of the rotating shaft 44, a water tank 6 is fixed on the upper end surface of the shell 1, and a telescopic tube 61 is connected to the lower end surface of the water tank 6, a connecting seat 372 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the pusher block 37, and a water outlet pipe 63 is connected to the side of the connecting seat 372, and a solenoid valve 62 is installed on the water outlet pipe 63, and the telescopic tube 61 is connected to the water outlet pipe 63 through the connecting seat 372, and convex blocks 51 are symmetrically fixed to the outer walls of both sides of the weighing device 5, and a concave block 52 used in conjunction with the convex block 51 is fixed on the lower surface of the shell 1, and a locking block 53 is inserted between the concave block 52 and the convex block 51.

[0046] The weighing device 5 is pushed to move along the gap between the convex block 51 and the concave block 52 until the clutch driven end 421 is connected to the clutch active end 422, and the locking block 53 is inserted into the gap between the convex block 51 and the concave block 52 on the side away from the dual-axis motor 31. The other output end of the dual-axis motor 31 is started to drive the connected clutch active end 422 and the clutch driven end 421 to rotate and then transmit the drive to a pulley 42 to rotate. Multiple pulleys 42 rotate together through the transmission of the transmission belt 43, thereby driving the rotating shaft 44 to rotate. The rotating shaft 44 drives the breaking rod 441 to rotate to crush the soil sample dropped into the material box 41 and finally make the soil sample evenly distributed in the material box 41.

[0047] When the solenoid valve 62 is started and the push rod rotates and moves periodically, water flows out of the water outlet pipe 63 and is sprayed onto the surface of the push block 37. The push block 37 drives the water to brush off the soil residue adhering to the side wall of the sampler 28 through the scraper 371, and the mixture of water and soil falls into the material box 41. The rotation of the rotating shaft 44 drives the breaking rod 441 to rotate so that the soil samples in the material box 41 and on the breaking rod 441 are cleaned into the water.

The inclined arrangement of the discharge port and the inner bottom surface of the material box 41 can facilitate the discharge of soil samples inside the material box 41.

[0049] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the device is fixed at the depth to be sampled in the soil pit, and then the sampling motor 21 is started to drive the gear 22 to rotate, the gear 22 drives the toothed plate 23 to move, and the push plate 24 is pushed to move under the guidance of the slide plate 26, and the push plate 24 drives the movable plate 25 to move. The movable plate 25 moves in the same direction under the guidance of the guide rod 271 and the linear sampling groove. At this time, the sampler 28 is in a merged state, forming a cylindrical shape, and the sampler 28 is embedded in the soil and the hollow in the center is filled with soil. The sampling motor 21 is started to reverse, and the sampler 28 is driven to leave the soil under transmission. At this time, the hollow position between the two samplers 28 is filled with soil samples, and then the two movable plates 25 approach each other when entering the arc-shaped sampling groove position. Under the action of the rotation connection between the movable plate 25 and the load-bearing block 252, the sampler 28 begins to open along the hinge line above the material box 41, and finally the sampling motor 21 is turned off when the side walls of the two samplers 28 rotate to the fitting position, and part of the soil sample falls into the inside of the material box 41.

[0050] Start the dual-axis motor 31, one of the output ends drives the sprocket 1 32 to rotate, and the chain 321 drives the sprocket 2 322 to rotate, the sprocket 2 322 drives the bevel gear 1 33 to rotate, the bevel gear 1 33 drives the meshing bevel gear 2 331 to rotate, and then drives the turntable 34 to rotate, the rotation of the turntable 34 drives the lever 341 to make a circular motion, the lever 341 drives the force rod 36 to make a reciprocating motion through the hinged force transmission rod 35, the force rod 36 drives the rotationally connected screw rod 361 to reciprocate, and because the screw 361 is connected to the internal thread The sleeve 362 is a non-self-locking threaded match. Under the action of the internal threaded sleeve 362, the screw 361 reciprocates and linearly moves while axially rotating, driving the pusher block 37 to reciprocate and rotate at the same time. The pusher block 37, in cooperation with the scraper 371 evenly fixed on the outer circumference, scrapes off the remaining soil sample adhering to the inner wall of the sampler 28 and drops it into the material box 41. When the reading on the weighing device 5 no longer changes, the dual-axis motor 31 is turned off. At this time, the clutch driven end 421 and the clutch active end 422 are in a non-meshing state, and the reading is read and recorded.

[0051] The weighing device 5 is pushed to move along the gap between the convex block 51 and the concave block 52 until the clutch driven end 421 is meshed with the clutch active end 422, and the locking block 53 is inserted into the gap between the convex block 51 and the concave block 52, and the other output end of the dual-axis motor 31 is started to drive the meshed clutch driven end 421 and the clutch active end 422 to rotate, and then transmit the transmission to a pulley 42 to rotate, and multiple pulleys 42 rotate together through the transmission of the transmission belt 43, thereby driving the rotating shaft 44 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 44 drives the breaker rod 441 to rotate and drop it into the material box. The soil sample in 41 is crushed and finally evenly distributed in the material box 41, the double-axis motor 31 is started and stopped, and the heating device 45 starts to work to dry the moisture of the soil sample. Since the soil sample is in a broken and evenly distributed state, the moisture evaporates rapidly. After the reading of the weighing device 5 no longer changes, the double-axis motor 31 is turned off, the locking block 53 is taken out, and the weighing device 5 is pushed to move along the gap between the convex block 51 and the concave block 52 until the clutch driven end 421 and the clutch active end 422 are no longer engaged, and the reading is read and the measurement result is calculated.

[0052] It is worth noting that after the measurement is completed, the weighing device 5 is pushed to move along the gap between the convex block 51 and the concave block 52 until the clutch driven end 421 and the clutch active end 422 are meshed again, the lock block 53 is inserted, the two output ends of the dual-axis motor 31 and the electromagnetic valve 62 are started, and while the push rod rotates and moves periodically, water is discharged from the water outlet pipe 63 and sprayed onto the surface of the push block 37. The push block 37 drives the water to brush off the soil residue adhering to the side wall of the sampler 28 through the scraper 371, and the mixture of water and soil falls into the material box 41. The rotation of the rotating shaft 44 drives the breaking rod 441 to rotate so that the soil samples in the material box 41 and on the breaking rod 441 are diluted in water, the two output ends of the dual-axis motor 31 and the electromagnetic valve 62 are closed, the discharge plate 46 is opened, and the water-soil mixture flows out to the outside of the device through the discharge plate 46, and then the discharge plate 46 is closed, and the operation is repeated until no soil remains in the device, which is convenient for the next cycle of measurement.
