Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fruit tree planting, in particular to a device for monitoring salt content in fruit tree soil. Background Art
[0002] In the field of fruit tree cultivation, soil quality has a vital impact on the growth and development of fruit trees and the quality of fruit. Soil salinity is a key indicator. Appropriate soil salinity can provide a good growth environment for fruit trees, while too high or too low salinity may lead to poor growth of fruit trees, reduced yields, or even death.
[0003] At present, soil salinity analyzers are usually used for monitoring. This monitoring method mostly requires manually inserting the soil salinity analyzer into the soil for detection, which is cumbersome to operate. The long-term monitoring soil salinity analyzers currently used can often only monitor at a single point. However, since the salt distribution in orchard soil may be uneven, the data from single-point monitoring lacks representativeness, which can easily lead to growers' misjudgment of soil salinity conditions. Fertilization, irrigation and other management measures based on inaccurate monitoring data will not only fail to effectively improve the soil environment, but may also further aggravate soil salinization or cause salt stress on fruit trees. For this reason, we propose a device for monitoring the salt content of fruit tree soil. Summary of the invention

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention, a DC power supply is installed inside the L-shaped mounting plate.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The device for monitoring the salt content in the soil of fruit trees is configured to turn on the switch of the first motor to drive the first gear to rotate, so that the first gear acts on the first teeth on the outer sides of the two semi-circular plates, thereby enabling the slider to slide in the two slide grooves. The slider drives the electric push rod, the lifting plate, the soil salinity analyzer and the detection probe to rotate around the fruit tree through the L-shaped mounting plate, thereby changing the position of the detection probe for detecting the salt content. Through multiple detections and calculation of the average value, a more accurate soil salt content can be obtained, so that targeted fertilization or watering can be performed according to the soil conditions to ensure the normal development of the fruit trees.
[0017] 2. After the detection is completed, the fruit tree soil salt content monitoring device can scrape the mud on the surface of the detection probe through the orifice plate, and can effectively clean the residue on the outside of the detection probe by spraying alcohol and brushing. When conducting subsequent tests, the accuracy of the data is guaranteed. After the test is completed, the outside of the detection probe can be scraped and cleaned, and subsequent testing can be carried out without manual cleaning.
[0018] 3. When the device for monitoring the salt content in the soil of fruit trees needs to be tested, the switch of the electric push rod is turned on to drive the lifting plate and the connecting rod to move downward. The connecting rod drives the detection probe to move downward through the mounting column and the vertical rod until the lower end of the detection probe is inserted into the soil to a certain depth. The soil salinity analyzer can complete the analysis of the salinity of the soil here. As the mounting column, the rotating sleeve and the detection probe move downward, the rotating plate will move to a position that is out of the retaining ring. At this time, under the action of the torsion spring, the two rotating plates rotate outward and unfold. Thereafter, the detection probe passes through the hole on the surface of the orifice plate and is inserted into the soil, effectively preventing the rotating plate from affecting the insertion of the detection probe into the soil.

[0043] Working principle: The present invention is a device for monitoring the salt content of soil in fruit trees. During installation, two semi-circular plates 1 are placed outside the fruit trees so that the slide grooves 2 on the surfaces of the two semi-circular plates 1 are butted against each other, and the two semi-circular plates 1 are fixed by bolts. The slider 3 can slide in the two slide grooves 2. The switch of the first motor 6 is turned on to drive the first gear 7 to rotate, so that the first gear 7 acts on the first teeth 4 on the outsides of the two semi-circular plates 1, so that the slider 3 can slide in the two slide grooves 2. The slider 3 drives the electric push rod 9, the lifting plate 10, the soil salinity analyzer 11 and the detection probe 31 to rotate around the fruit tree through the L-shaped mounting plate 8, so as to change the position of the detection probe 31 for detecting the salt content. By detecting multiple times and calculating the average value, it is convenient to obtain a more accurate soil salt content, so as to apply fertilizer or water in a targeted manner according to the soil conditions, so as to ensure the normal development of the fruit trees.
[0044] When detection is needed, the switch of the electric push rod 9 is turned on, driving the lifting plate 10 and the connecting rod 12 to move downward, and the connecting rod 12 drives the detection probe 31 to move downward through the mounting column 13 and the vertical rod 30, until the lower end of the detection probe 31 is inserted into the soil to a certain depth, and the soil salinity analyzer 11 can complete the analysis of the soil salinity here. As the mounting column 13, the rotating sleeve 14, and the detection probe 31 move downward, the rotating plate 19 will move to a position that is out of the retaining ring 23. At this time, under the action of the torsion spring 20, the two rotating plates 19 rotate outward and unfold, and then the detection probe 31 passes through the hole on the surface of the orifice plate 25 and is inserted into the soil.
[0045] After the detection is completed, the electric push rod 9 is controlled to retract, driving the lifting plate 10, the connecting rod 12, the mounting column 13, the vertical rod 30 and the detection probe 31 to move upward, and the detection probe 31 passes through the inner side of the orifice plate 25 from bottom to top. The inner diameter of the orifice plate 25 matches the outer diameter of the detection probe 31, so that the orifice plate 25 can scrape off the soil on the outside of the detection probe 31. As the detection probe 31 continues to move, the detection probe 31 passes through the inner side of the retaining ring 23 from bottom to top. At this time, the switch of the pump body 27 is turned on, and the alcohol inside the alcohol storage tank 26 is sprayed onto the outer surface of the detection probe 31 through the connecting pipe 28 and the nozzle 29. When the detection probe 31 continues to rise, it can drive the rotating plate 19 to collide with the retaining ring 23, and the retaining ring 23 resists The rotating plate 19 rotates, and the rotating plate 19 drives the cleaning brush 21 to rotate inward. The cleaning brush 21 rotates to a position that contacts the outside of the detection probe 31. At this time, the switch of the second motor 16 is started to drive the second gear 17 to rotate. The second gear 17 drives the rotating sleeve 14 to rotate through the second teeth 15. The rotating sleeve 14 drives the rotating plate 19 and the cleaning brush 21 to rotate. The cleaning brush 21 evenly spreads the alcohol on the outside of the detection probe 31 and brushes the outside of the detection probe 31, which can effectively clean the residue on the outside of the detection probe 31. When performing subsequent detection, the accuracy of the data is guaranteed. After the detection is completed, the outside of the detection probe 31 can be scraped and cleaned. Subsequent detection work can be performed without manual cleaning.
