Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of soil detection, and in particular relates to a soil detection probe. Background Art
[0002] Soil testing is crucial in fields such as agriculture and environmental protection. Its accuracy and efficiency are directly related to scientific assessments of the soil environment and the effectiveness of subsequent management measures. However, traditional soil testing tools, particularly soil testing probes, have exposed significant shortcomings in practical applications, affecting both accuracy and efficiency.
[0003] After traditional soil detection probes are inserted into the soil, it is often difficult to control the time to pull them out, which affects the accuracy of the information they extract from the soil. At the same time, in actual use, the detection head of the detection rod is easily contaminated with mud after being inserted into the soil, which requires frequent cleaning and maintenance of the probe during use, which not only increases the workload but may also reduce work efficiency.

[0017] The air pump, air rod, crankshaft and connecting rod enable the pressure component to be linked to the upper sprocket when the drive component is working, converting the circular motion of the sprocket into the up and down reciprocating motion of the air rod, thereby being used to inflate and pressurize the interior of the liquid tank, so that the cleaning fluid or lubricant can be sprayed out smoothly, achieving synchronous control while reducing the power source of the equipment, thereby helping to reduce the production cost of the equipment;
[0018] The normally open push switch matched with the C-shaped groove enables the push rod to control the operation of the cleaning brush group, and can synchronously control the drive component to drive the vertical rod up and down, so as to control the brush head to clean the detection probe up and down, thereby improving the convenience of using the equipment;
[0019] The use of rubber sealing rings ensures the sealing of the vertical rod when it moves up and down, prevents soil or moisture from entering the inside of the casing, and improves the durability of the equipment. The transparent observation window allows the user to observe the remaining amount of liquid in the liquid tank at any time, which is convenient for timely refilling and reduces the workload of maintenance. The vertical rod extending from the top of the casing and the design of the top plate allow the user to directly apply pressure to the top plate, thereby directly driving the detection probe to be inserted into the inside of the soil to be inspected, thereby reducing the working intensity of the drive component and helping to extend the service life of the equipment. The support seat can increase the contact area between the bottom of the casing and the soil, so that the equipment can avoid sinking as a whole when the detection probe is pulled out upwards, while also increasing the stability of the equipment and making it more convenient to use.

A brush head 6 is fixed near the inner side of the rotating shaft 5. Bevel gears 7 are concentrically fixed at both ends of the rotating shaft 5. Two adjacent bevel gears 7 on different rotating shafts 5 They are meshed with each other. A control component for controlling the rotation of the rotating shaft 5 is installed on the lower side of the shell 1. A driving component for controlling the up and down movement of the vertical rod 3 is installed on the inner side of the shell 1. A liquid tank 8 is also fixed to the inner wall of the shell 1. A filling port 9 communicating with the interior of the liquid tank 8 is installed on the side of the shell 1. A cover 10 matching the filling port 9 is provided on the outer side of the filling port 9. A circular ring 11 is fixed to the lower side of the cleaning brush group. A plurality of circumferentially distributed pressurized nozzles 12 are installed on the upper side of the circular ring 11. The pressurized nozzles 12 are connected to the pipeline of the liquid tank 8. A pressurizing component for pressurizing the inside of the liquid tank 8 is provided on the inner side of the shell 1.
[0031] The control component includes a spur gear 13, which is fixed concentrically with one of the rotating shafts 5. A slide rod 14 is installed on the inner side of the shell 1 for sliding up and down. A plurality of limit plates 15 are installed on the upper side of the slide rod 14 at even intervals. The spur gear 13 is transmission-connected to the limit plates 15. A C-shaped groove 16 is provided on the side of the shell 1. A push rod 17 is horizontally fixed on the upper side of the slide rod 14. The push rod 17 matches the C-shaped groove 16. A baffle 18 fixed to the inner wall of the shell 1 is provided on the side of the C-shaped groove 16. A return spring 19 is fixed between the baffle 18 and the push rod 17.
[0032] In the present invention, the shell 1 serves as the main structure of the entire detection probe, protecting the internal components and serving as a support for soil detection. The control panel 2 includes a timing module for setting parameters such as the diving depth and residence time of the detection probe 4. The detection probe 4 is used to actually detect the composition or properties of the soil and is electrically connected to the control panel 2 to transmit data. The cleaning brush group consists of a rotating shaft 5, a bevel gear 7 and a brush head 6. The synchronous rotation in four directions is achieved by the engagement of adjacent bevel gears 7.

While making the control component simple to operate, it can also effectively improve the stability of the cleaning brush group, reduce the cleaning workload of the detection probe 4, and improve the detection efficiency.
