Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an auxiliary device for wetland resource monitoring, belonging to the technical field of wetland environment monitoring equipment. Background Art

[0002] Wetlands, together with forests and oceans, are known as the three major ecosystems on Earth. Wetlands play an irreplaceable and important role in resisting floods, regulating climate, conserving water sources, degrading pollutants, coping with climate change, maintaining the global carbon cycle, and protecting biodiversity. They are known as the "kidney of the earth", "treasure house of species" and "carbon storage bank", and are important strategic and scarce resources for ensuring national ecological security and sustainable economic and social development.

[0003] Wetland ecosystem monitoring can track the health status of wetlands in real time, discover potential problems in a timely manner, and provide scientific basis for managers to formulate reasonable protection measures. Through the monitoring of multiple aspects such as wetland water quality, soil, and biodiversity, we can better understand the ecological status of wetlands, evaluate the impact of human activities on wetlands, and then take corresponding measures to reduce or eliminate these impacts.

[0004] In order to monitor data such as soil humidity and wind speed above the soil in the wetland system, it is necessary for the detection personnel to stay on site for a long time for detection, which is not only troublesome but also a test for the detection personnel in the long run.

[0005] Soil humidity is generally detected by a soil humidity detector. After inserting the probe on the humidity detector into the soil, the soil humidity data can be detected. However, the detection personnel often forget to clean the probe before use, resulting in inaccurate detection data. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: to provide an auxiliary device for wetland resource monitoring, which improves the problem that the measurement data is inaccurate due to the soil humidity detector not being cleaned before use in the prior art.

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0008] An auxiliary device for wetland resource monitoring includes a frame, and the frame is provided with

[0009] a soil humidity detection device including a detection probe;

[0010] a driving source, the soil humidity detection device is connected to the driving source, and the driving source can drive the detection probe to move vertically and insert into the soil;

[0011] The wiping mechanism includes two sets of wiping components arranged oppositely. The wiping component includes a wiping piece. The two wiping pieces are attached to each other. The detection probe can enter between the two wiping pieces for cleaning. The wiping piece is rotatably connected to the frame. During the process of the detection probe moving towards the soil surface, the two wiping pieces can rotate and separate so that the detection probe can pass through the wiping piece;

[0012] The linkage component is linked to the wiping piece and the driving source. During the process of the detection probe moving towards the soil surface, the driving source can drive the two wiping pieces to separate from each other through the linkage component.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving source drives the detection probe to insert into the soil to detect the humidity data in the soil, realizing the de-manual operation, that is, even if there is no one in the wetland system, the humidity data of the wetland soil can be monitored;

[0014] Before the detection probe inserts into the wetland soil, it enters between two mutually attached wiping pieces. The wiping piece plays a role in cleaning the detection probe, improving the accuracy of the humidity data; after the detection probe is wiped, the driving source drives the two wiping pieces to separate through the linkage component, avoiding interfering with the insertion of the detection probe into the soil. The driving source drives the wiping piece to move through the linkage component, without the need to set an additional driving source, saving energy consumption and ensuring reliability in the field environment.

[0015] The present invention is further provided that: a cleaning component is further provided on the frame. The cleaning component includes a cleaning piece. The cleaning piece is movably arranged on the frame. During the process of the detection probe moving towards the soil surface, the cleaning piece can abut against the soil and rotate to remove the surface soil below the detection probe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, since the humidity difference between the soil surface and the deep soil layer is obvious, in order to reduce errors and improve data accuracy, before the detection probe inserts into the soil, the cleaning piece can abut against the soil and rotate to take away a layer of the surface soil below the detection probe.

[0017] The present invention is further provided that: the linkage component is linked to the cleaning piece. During the process of the detection probe moving towards the soil surface, the driving source can drive the cleaning piece to abut against the soil and rotate through the linkage component.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving source drives the cleaning piece to move through the linkage component, without the need to set an additional driving source, saving energy consumption and ensuring reliability in the field environment.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that: the linkage assembly includes a driving gear and a mating gear, a connecting shaft is provided between the driving source and the soil humidity detection device, the driving gear is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft, a connecting rod is provided on the wiping member, the mating gear is rotatably connected to the frame and connected to the connecting rod, after the detection probe moves a specified distance towards the soil surface and enters between the two wiping members, the driving source can drive the driving gear to mesh with the mating gear, so that the two wiping members rotate and separate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving source drives the two wiping members to rotate and separate from each other by meshing the driving gear with the mating gear, and the detection probe can be inserted between the two wiping members for cleaning before the driving gear meshes with the mating gear.

[0021] The present invention is further configured such that: a sliding sleeve is provided on the connecting shaft, an annular sliding groove is axially formed on the side wall of the connecting shaft, and the sliding sleeve is axially slidably positioned in the sliding groove; the driving gear is arranged on the sliding sleeve so that the driving gear can axially slide relative to the connecting shaft, under the action of gravity, the sliding sleeve is located at the lower end of the sliding groove, during the process of the detection probe moving towards the soil surface, the driving gear abuts against the mating gear and then drives the sliding sleeve to move towards the upper end of the sliding groove, when the sliding sleeve abuts against the upper end of the sliding groove, the driving gear meshes with the mating gear and rotates.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of the connecting shaft moving downward towards the soil surface, after the driving gear abuts against the mating gear, due to the resistance of the gears themselves, the gears are stationary, and the sliding sleeve is driven to move upward relative to the connecting shaft. At this time, the detection probe can still enter the wiping member for a certain distance, and the cleaning effect is better. When the sliding sleeve abuts against the upper end of the sliding groove, the sliding sleeve is stationary relative to the connecting shaft. At this time, the driving gear meshes with the mating gear and separates the two wiping members.

[0023] The present invention is further configured such that: the cleaning assembly further includes a cleaning rod, both ends of the cleaning rod are respectively connected to the cleaning member and the connecting shaft, the driving source can drive the cleaning member to abut against the soil surface; the cleaning rod is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft, the cleaning rod has an abutting inclined surface, and an abutting block located below the abutting inclined surface is provided on the sliding sleeve. During the process of the sliding sleeve moving towards the upper end of the sliding groove, the abutting block abuts against the abutting inclined surface, so that the sliding sleeve drives the cleaning member to rotate and take away the surface soil below the detection probe.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of the sliding sleeve moving towards the upper end of the sliding groove, the abutting block abuts against the inclined surface, so that the cleaning member rotates.

[0025] The present invention is further configured such that: a protective sleeve is provided on the frame, one end of the protective sleeve facing the soil surface is open, and the soil humidity detection device is located within the protective sleeve.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective sleeve protects the soil humidity detection device.

[0027] The present invention is further configured such that: a solar panel is provided on the frame, and the solar panel is electrically connected to the drive source.

[0030] The drive source drives the detection probe to insert into the soil to detect the humidity data in the soil, realizing unmanned operation, that is, even when there is no one in the wetland system, the humidity data of the wetland soil can still be monitored;

[0031] Before the detection probe inserts into the wetland soil, it enters between two mutually attached wiping members, and the wiping members play a cleaning role on the detection probe, improving the accuracy of the humidity data; after the detection probe is wiped, the drive source drives the two wiping members to separate through the linkage assembly to avoid interfering with the insertion of the detection probe into the soil; the cleaning member can abut against the soil and rotate to take away a layer of the surface of the soil below the detection probe, preventing the soil surface layer with different humidity from affecting the detection result and improving the data accuracy;

[0032] The drive source controls the movement of the soil humidity detection device, the wiping members, and the cleaning member through the linkage assembly, with efficient detection, energy conservation, and environmental protection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation mode

[0038] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific drawings 1-4.

[0039] This application provides an auxiliary device for wetland resource monitoring, including a frame 100. The feet of the frame 100 are inserted into wetland soil for fixation. A soil humidity detection device 200, a wiping mechanism, a cleaning assembly, a drive source 300 and a linkage assembly are provided on the frame 100. The soil humidity detection device 200 detects humidity data inside the wetland soil. The wiping mechanism cleans the soil humidity detection device 200 to improve data accuracy. The cleaning assembly cleans the soil surface layer to facilitate the soil humidity detection device 200 to detect the humidity data inside the soil and further improve data accuracy. The drive source 300 and the linkage assembly are the energy devices of this application.

[0040] The soil humidity detection device 200 is a soil temperature and humidity detector in this embodiment. It has a detection probe 20, a soil humidity sensor and a processor. By inserting the detection probe 20 into the soil, the soil humidity sensor collects the soil humidity data and feeds it back to the processor. The processor feeds back the humidity data at this place so that the detection personnel can obtain the data remotely.

[0041] The soil humidity detection device 200 is connected to the drive source 300. The drive source 300 is an electric cylinder. The drive source 300 is arranged vertically. The drive source 300 can drive the detection probe 20 to move vertically and insert into the soil to detect data.

[0042] The wiping mechanism includes two sets of wiping components arranged oppositely. The wiping component includes a wiping member 40. Before the detection probe 20 moves, the two wiping members 40 are attached to each other. When the detection probe 20 moves towards the soil surface, it can enter between the two wiping members 40. A through hole for the detection probe 20 to pass through is formed between the two attached wiping members 40. The detection probe 20 is wrapped by the wiping layer on the inner wall of the through hole, so as to clean the detection probe 20. Specifically, the wiping member 40 is rotatably connected to the frame 100. During the process of the detection probe 20 moving towards the soil surface, after the detection probe 20 is cleaned, the two wiping members 40 can rotate and separate so that the detection probe 20 can pass through the wiping member 40.

[0043] The cleaning component includes a cleaning member 50, which is movably arranged on the frame 100. During the process of the detection probe 20 moving towards the soil surface, the cleaning member 50 can abut against the soil and rotate to remove the surface soil under the detection probe 20. Specifically, before the detection probe 20 moves, the cleaning member 50 is located below the detection probe 20. The cleaning member 50 contacts the soil surface prior to the detection probe 20. After the cleaning member 50 rotates, it turns up and takes away the surface soil under the detection probe 20.

[0044] The linkage component is linked to the wiping member 40 and the driving source 300. During the process of the detection probe 20 moving towards the soil surface, the driving source 300 can drive the two wiping members 40 to separate from each other through the linkage component. The linkage component is also linked to the cleaning member 50. During the process of the detection probe 20 moving towards the soil surface, the driving source 300 can drive the cleaning member 50 to abut against the soil and rotate through the linkage component.

[0045] The linkage component includes a driving gear 60 and a mating gear 61. The driving gear 60 is arranged above the mating gear 61. A connecting shaft 30 is provided between the driving source 300 and the soil moisture detection device 200. The driving gear 60 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 30. A connecting rod 41 is provided on the wiping member 40. The connecting rod 41 is in a V shape. The mating gear 61 is rotatably connected to the frame 100 and connected to the connecting rod 41. After the detection probe 20 moves a specified distance towards the soil surface and enters between the two wiping members 40, the driving source 300 can drive the driving gear 60 to move downward and mesh with the mating gear 61. The mating gear 61 rotates counterclockwise and makes the two wiping members 40 rotate upward and separate.

[0046] Specifically, a sliding sleeve 62 is provided on the connecting shaft 30. An annular sliding groove 301 is axially formed on the side wall of the connecting shaft 30. The sliding sleeve 62 is axially slidably positioned in the sliding groove 301. The driving gear 60 is arranged on the sliding sleeve 62 so that the driving gear 60 can slide axially relative to the connecting shaft 30. Under the action of gravity, the sliding sleeve 62 is located at the lower end of the sliding groove 301. During the process of the detection probe 20 moving downward towards the soil surface, the rotational resistance of the mating gear 61 is greater than the gravity of the sliding sleeve 62. After the driving gear 60 abuts against the mating gear 61, it drives the sliding sleeve 62 to move towards the upper end of the sliding groove 301. When the sliding sleeve 62 abuts against the upper end of the sliding groove 301, the sliding sleeve 62 is fixed relative to the connecting shaft 30, and the driving gear 60 meshes with the mating gear 61 and rotates.

[0047] During the process of inserting the detection probe 20 into the soil, the driving gear 60 remains engaged with the mating gear 61, and the two wiping members 40 remain in a separated state. In an alternative embodiment, during the process of inserting the detection probe 20 into the soil, the driving gear 60 is separated from the mating gear 61, and the wiping members 40 are kept in a separated state by the frictional resistance of the mating gear 61.

[0048] In an alternative embodiment, during the process of resetting the detection probe 20, after the driving gear 60 engages with the mating gear 61, the detection probe 20 is clamped again for cleaning, facilitating the removal of the residual soil on the probe.

[0049] The cleaning assembly further includes a cleaning rod 51. The two ends of the cleaning rod 51 are respectively connected to the cleaning member 50 and the connecting shaft 30. The driving source 300 can drive the cleaning member 50 to move downward through the connecting shaft 30 and abut against the soil surface. Specifically, the upper end of the cleaning rod 51 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 30. There is an abutting inclined surface 63 at the upper end of the cleaning rod 51. An abutting block 64 located below the abutting inclined surface 63 is provided on the sliding sleeve 62. During the process of the sliding sleeve 62 moving towards the upper end of the sliding groove 301, the abutting block 64 abuts against the abutting inclined surface 63. Since the cleaning member 50 is inserted into the soil surface driven by the driving source 300, the sliding sleeve 62 drives the cleaning member 50 to rotate, turning up and taking away the surface soil below the detection probe 20. After the driving gear 60 abuts against the mating gear 61, during the process of the sliding sleeve 62 moving towards the upper end of the sliding groove 301, the cleaning member 50 rotates first. The cleaning member 50 cleans the soil surface layer and moves to the upper side of the detection probe 20 until the sliding sleeve 62 abuts against the upper end of the sliding groove 301, and the two wiping members 40 are separated. The detection probe 20 is inserted into the soil interior. During this process, the cleaning assembly and the wiping assembly do not interfere with the movement of the detection probe 20.

[0050] A protective sleeve 70 is provided on the frame 100. One end of the protective sleeve 70 facing the soil surface is open, and the soil humidity detection device 200 is located inside the protective sleeve 70. Specifically, the wiping assembly is arranged on the protective sleeve 70, and an avoidance groove facilitating the movement of the cleaning member 50 is formed on the side wall of the protective sleeve 70.

[0051] A solar panel 80 is provided on the frame 100. The solar panel 80 is electrically connected to the driving source 300, and a battery is electrically connected between the solar panel 80 and the driving source 300. A wind speed tester 9 is also provided on the frame 100.

[0052] The above has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope claimed by the present invention. The scope claimed by the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
