[0026] Reference Attachment Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 The present application provides a soil total nitrogen content detection device, comprising:

[0027] The detection body includes a device housing 2, a feed port is provided at the top of the device housing 2, and an 80-mesh filter screen 9 is provided at the feed port. A detection chamber is provided inside the device housing 2, and a soil collection box 11 is provided below the detection chamber in a pull-out manner for collecting filtered soil samples. A plurality of LED lights 19 of different wavelengths and two photodetectors 18 located in the center of the LED lights 19 are also provided above the soil collection box 11; and the signal processing circuit where the ESP32 microcontroller is located constitutes the detection system

[0028] The hydraulic press is arranged on the top of the device housing 2 and is used to crush the soil on the filter screen 9.

[0029] In one embodiment, at least one negative ion generator 17 is provided on the side wall of the detection chamber, and the negative ion generator 17 extends into the detection chamber through a carbon fiber brush 20; a dust collection pipe 10 is provided below the carbon fiber brush 20 and extends to the outside of the device housing 2, which is used to collect dust generated during the filtration process.

[0030] In one embodiment, the input end of the dust collection pipe 10 opens toward the carbon fiber brush 19, and the output end is closed by an openable and closable circular cover, with the angle between the input and output ends being 135 degrees. This design facilitates efficient dust collection and discharge.

[0031] In one embodiment, the wavelengths of LED light 19 include 490-500 nm, 770-780 nm, 800-805 nm, 840-845 nm, 1350 nm, 1550 nm, 1630 nm, and 1650 nm, with 1350 nm being a wavelength characteristic of soil particle size. These wavelengths were selected based on the absorption characteristics of nitrogen in soil at specific wavelengths of light. 1350 nm is also a wavelength characteristic of soil particle size and can be used for soil particle size correction.

[0032] In one embodiment, multiple LED lights 19 are arranged in a ring. Each LED 19 is fitted with a 13mm diameter glass focusing lens on its upper surface. The photodetectors 18 located in the center of the LEDs 19 are silicon photodiodes and indium gallium arsenide diodes, respectively. The pins of both the silicon photodiodes and indium gallium arsenide diodes are connected to a signal processing circuit. The silicon photodiodes have a response wavelength of 400-1100nm, while the indium gallium arsenide photodiodes have a response wavelength of 900-1700nm, fully covering the wavelength bands of the aforementioned LED lights.

[0033] In one embodiment, the signal processing circuit includes an ESP32 microcontroller and an H-bridge driver circuit. The H-bridge driver circuit is composed of four IGBTs as switching devices. The input end of the H-bridge is connected to a carbon fiber heating pipe 4. The ESP32 microcontroller controls the operating state of the carbon fiber heating pipe 4 by turning the IGBTs in the H-bridge on and off. The carbon fiber heating pipe 4 is used to dry soil and remove moisture.

[0034] In one embodiment, a temperature sensor DS18B203 is connected to the signal processing circuit for overheat protection.

[0035] In one embodiment, the device housing 2 is further provided with a detection switch button 12 and a USB slot 13, and a lithium battery pack is further provided inside the detection chamber.

[0036] In one embodiment, the hydraulic press includes a lifting rod 1 relatively arranged on both sides of the top feed port of the outer shell 2, and the upper parts of the lifting rods 1 on both sides are connected by an upper steel plate 14. A free steel plate 15 is slidably provided on the lifting rod 1, and the lower end of the free steel plate 15 is provided with a pressure foot 8 corresponding to the top feed port of the outer shell 2. The upper end surface of the free steel plate 15 is connected to the bottom of the upper steel plate 14 by an L-shaped connecting iron sheet 7 with a spring 6. The free steel plate 15 is also provided with a hydraulic jack 5 located between the springs 6 on both sides, and the plunger of the hydraulic jack 5 can be pushed under the upper steel plate 14. At the initial moment, the free steel plate 15 remains in a suspended and stationary state under the elastic force of the spring 6. When the soil needs to be crushed, the soil to be tested is placed in the filter screen 9 at the feed port, and is lifted upward by pressing the plunger of the hydraulic jack 7 until it touches the upper steel plate 18. Because the resistance of the upper steel plate 18 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 6, the free steel plate 15 and the hydraulic jack 7 both move downward under the action of the resistance of the upper steel plate 18 until they approach the soil at the feed inlet. The pressure foot 8 fixed under the free steel plate 15 collides and squeezes the soil to be tested, pushing it into the filter chamber inside the outer shell 2 of the filter device, completing the soil crushing operation.

[0037] The working principle is as follows: At the initial moment, the free steel plate 15 remains suspended and stationary under the action of the elastic force of the spring 6. The soil to be tested is placed in the filter screen 9 at the feed inlet, and the plunger is pushed upward by pressing the hydraulic jack 7 until it touches the upper steel plate 14 at the upper end. Under the action of the resistance of the upper steel plate 14, the free steel plate 15 and the hydraulic jack 7 both move downward, and the soil to be tested is collided and squeezed by the pressure foot 8 fixed under the free steel plate, and pushed into the filter chamber inside the outer shell 2 of the filter device. After the soil is crushed, it enters the filter chamber of the outer shell 2 through the mesh of the filter screen 9 and falls vertically into the soil collection box 11. During this period, the carbon fiber brush 20 at the end of the negative ion generator 17 releases electrons, which combine with oxygen molecules in the air to generate negative ions, promote the sedimentation of floating dust and fall into the dust collection pipe 10 below.

[0038] Then press the detection switch button 12, and the eight LED lights of different wavelengths inside the detection body 2 will start to work alternately, releasing light of different wavelengths to illuminate the soil to be tested. It is generally believed that smaller soil particle size can minimize the impact of soil particle size on soil spectrum detection. The spectrum data measured by soil with a particle size of 0.2mm through an 80-mesh filter can be used as the reference spectrum. The wavelength of 1350nm is also the characteristic band of soil particle size. Therefore, the reflectivity of 0.2mm soil at 1350nm is used as the reference value P, and the soil particle size correction coefficient k is introduced. c

[0039]

[0040] Where R 1350 To correct the reflectance of the soil at 1350nm, the soil spectral reflectance after correction by the correction coefficient is

[0041] R c =R×k c

[0042] Where R is the soil reflectance before correction.

[0043] The photodiode 18 detects the reflected light intensity in each band, and the total nitrogen content in the soil is calculated using a machine learning algorithm. Finally, the data is transmitted to the host computer via serial communication, and the host computer displays the specific information of the total nitrogen content.

[0044] Table 1 Test results

[0045]

[0046] Table 1 above is a soil total nitrogen content detection table. The measured values of the soil total nitrogen content detection system are not much different from the actual physical and chemical values. The maximum absolute difference is 0.209, the minimum absolute difference is 0.047, the maximum relative difference is 11.2%, and the minimum relative difference is 3.1%. It can be seen that the detection device can basically meet the detection requirements of soil total nitrogen content and can be applied to actual production.

[0047] Through the detailed description of the above embodiments, it can be seen that the soil nutrient detection device is highly reasonable and practical in terms of structural design, working principle and operation process, providing strong support for the accurate detection of soil total nitrogen content.

[0048] The present invention and its embodiments are described above. This description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the purpose of the present invention, designs structures and embodiments similar to this technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
