Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of maize planting technology, and more specifically, it relates to a water use efficiency monitoring device that couples drought resistance and biomass in rainfed spring maize. Background Technology

[0002] Rainfed spring maize, a staple crop in arid and semi-arid regions of northern my country, directly impacts regional food security and agricultural economic development due to its yield stability. In approximately 45% of spring maize planting areas in my country, the rainfed model (relying entirely on natural rainfall without artificial irrigation) dominates. Under this model, the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of soil moisture and the randomness of rainfall distribution constitute the core environmental factors restricting spring maize growth. Water use efficiency, a key indicator of a crop's biomass accumulation capacity under limited water conditions, and its coupling relationship with crop drought resistance and biomass formation, is a core scientific question in understanding the "water-growth-yield" relationship mechanism of rainfed spring maize. It also serves as an important theoretical basis for guiding drought-resistant breeding, optimizing cultivation techniques, and improving field management.

[0003] Currently, the most common technology for monitoring rain-fed spring maize involves placing weight sensors on the soil under the soil in the monitored field and inserting moisture sensors to monitor water use efficiency. However, as monitoring progresses, it is often necessary to relocate the moisture sensors to obtain corresponding soil values ​​in different areas. Currently, the relocation of moisture sensors is still a relatively primitive method, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, during monitoring, maize seedlings often die for various reasons, and there is no proper method for removing the dead seedlings.

[0026] The water use efficiency monitoring device that couples drought resistance and biomass of rainfed spring maize provided by the present invention will now be described.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this invention provides a water use efficiency monitoring device that couples drought resistance and biomass in rain-fed spring maize, including a planting box 100, a tubular moisture meter 200, and a surrounding frame 300. The planting box 100 has several planting spaces, each containing a gravity sensor filled with soil 110 for planting maize. The device monitors the weight of the soil and maize plants in the planting space in real time, and by continuously measuring weight changes, it can directly and accurately calculate the daily water consumption of the crop. The tubular moisture meter 200 is intermittently buried in the soil 110 to monitor the moisture content, temperature, and conductivity of different soil layers. The surrounding frame 300 is placed on the planting box 100, and one side of the frame 300 has several rubber curtains 310 to prevent water droplets from splashing out. A movable displacement component 400 is provided on one side of the planting box 100 to cooperate with the tubular moisture meter 200, allowing the tubular moisture meter 200 to be moved.

[0028] The water use efficiency monitoring device for rain-fed spring maize drought resistance coupled with biomass provided by this invention, compared with the prior art, has maize planted in soil 110 within a planting box 100, and several tubular moisture meters 200 are arranged at intervals in the soil 110. A displacement component 400 is provided on one side of the frame 300. During the maize growth process, if it is necessary to move the tubular moisture meters 200, the displacement component 400 can be moved. Because one side of the frame 300 is a rubber curtain 310, the displacement component 400 can easily enter the frame 300, thereby operating the displacement component 400 to drill in and pull out the tubular moisture meters 200. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the water use efficiency monitoring device for drought resistance and biomass coupling of rain-fed spring maize provided in this invention, the tubular moisture meter 200 includes an instrument body 210, a square head 220, and a threaded soil entry head 230; the square head 220 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the instrument body 210 for displacement in cooperation with the displacement component 400, and the threaded soil entry head 230 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the instrument body 210 for easy drilling into and pulling out of the soil 110.

[0030] Specifically, this device is a modification of the common tubular moisture meter 200 on the market. A square head 220 is installed at the top of the existing instrument body 210, and a threaded soil insertion head 230 is connected to the bottom of the instrument body 210. If it is necessary to drill into the tubular moisture meter 200, the square head 220 is rotated clockwise and continuous downward pressure is applied, and the tubular moisture meter 200 can drill into the soil 110. If it is necessary to remove the tubular moisture meter 200, the square head 220 is rotated counterclockwise and continuous upward pulling force is applied, and the tubular moisture meter 200 can be removed from the soil 110.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the water use efficiency monitoring device for drought resistance and biomass coupling of rain-fed spring maize provided in this invention, the displacement component 400 includes an edge protrusion 410, a displacement telescopic part 420, and an operating part 430; the edge protrusion 410 is fixed on one side of the planting box 100, the displacement telescopic part 420 is movably disposed on the edge protrusion 410, and the operating part 430 is rotatably disposed on one side of the displacement telescopic part 420. When the displacement telescopic part 420 moves on the edge protrusion 410, it will drive the operating part 430 to move together.

[0032] It should be noted that the edge protrusion 410 is fixed to one side of the planting box 100. The specific connection method can be welding or fastener connection. The displacement telescopic part 420 can move along the edge protrusion 410, thereby driving the working part 430 to move to various positions, so that the working part 430 can move the tubular moisture meter 200 located in different positions.

[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown in a specific embodiment of the water use efficiency monitoring device for drought resistance and biomass coupling of rain-fed spring maize provided in this invention, a groove 411 is provided in the edge protrusion 410. The groove 411 includes an arc-shaped groove 4111 and a vertical groove 4112, which are connected. The displacement telescopic part 420 includes a slider 421 and a telescopic member 422. The slider 421 includes an arc-shaped block 4211 and a vertical block 4212, which are connected and respectively connected to the arc-shaped groove 4111. The 111 and the vertical groove 4112 fit together. The working part 430 includes a rotating table 431, a push-pull table 432 and a screwing assembly 433. The rotating table 431 is located at the end of the telescopic member 422 and has a push-pull groove 4311. The push-pull table 432 is movably located in the push-pull groove 4311. The screwing assembly 433 is installed at both ends of the push-pull table 432. When it is necessary to drill into or pull out the tubular moisture meter 200, the rotating table 431 is rotated and the position of the push-pull table 432 is adjusted. The screwing assembly 433 and the telescopic member 422 are operated to cooperate to complete the work.

[0034] Furthermore, to prevent soil from easily entering the chute 411 and hindering the smooth movement of the displacement component 400, the chute 411 is divided into an arc-shaped chute 4111 and a vertical chute 4112, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the arc-shaped groove 4111 faces downwards, and the upright groove 4112 communicates with the arc-shaped groove 4111. When the displacement telescopic part 420 needs to be installed, the arc-shaped block 4211 and the upright block 4212 are inserted into the arc-shaped groove 4111 and the upright groove 4112, and the displacement telescopic part 420 will be "hung" on the edge protrusion 410. At this time, the displacement telescopic part 420 can move along the edge protrusion 410. When it is necessary to drill into or pull out the tubular moisture meter 200, the rotating table 431 is rotated so that the push-pull table 432 enters the surrounding frame 300 through the rubber curtain 310. Then, the twisting component 433 is operated and cooperates with the telescopic part 422 to complete the corresponding work. The telescopic part 422 is provided with a lifting button to control the lifting of the output end of the telescopic part 422. The telescopic part 422 can be an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0035] like Figures 7 to 9As shown, in a specific embodiment of the water use efficiency monitoring device for drought resistance and biomass coupling of rain-fed spring maize provided in this invention, the twisting component 433 includes a first driving member 4331, a first twisting member 4332, a second driving member 4333, and a second twisting member 4334. The first driving member 4331 and the second driving member 4333 are respectively disposed at both ends of the push-pull table 432. The output ends of the first driving member 4331 and the second driving member 4333 pass through the push-pull table 432 and are respectively connected to the first twisting member 4332 and the second twisting member 4334 to drive the rotation of the first twisting member 4332 and the second twisting member 4334 respectively; the first twisting member 4333... Component 4332 includes a top plate 43321, a first bending plate 43322, and a second bending plate 43323. The top plate 43321 is connected to the first driving component 4331 and has a protruding insertion post 43324. The first bending plate 43322 is connected to one side of the top plate 43321, and the second bending plate 43323 is connected to the other side of the top plate 43321. The end of the square head 220 is provided with a slot 221 that mates with the insertion post 43324. The first rotating component 4332 and the second rotating component 4334 have a symmetrical structure. The first rotating component 4332 is used to drive the tubular moisture meter 200 to rotate forward, and the second rotating component 4334 is used to drive the tubular moisture meter 200 to rotate in reverse.

[0036] More specifically, when it is necessary to remove the tubular moisture meter 200, rotate the rotating table 431 so that the push-pull table 432 enters the surrounding frame 300 through the rubber curtain 310. The push-pull table 432 can move forward or backward along the push-pull groove 4311. After moving to the position above the corresponding tubular moisture meter 200, operate the second drive member 4333 to drive the second turning member 4334 to be perpendicular to the square head 220 of the tubular moisture meter 200 below it. Then operate the telescopic member 422 to descend, so that the insertion post 43324 is inserted into the slot 221. Then, continue to start the second drive member 4333 to reverse it. At this time, the first bending plate 43322 and the second bending plate 4332 of the second turning member 4334 are in a reverse position. The three square heads 220 engage and drive the tubular moisture meter 200 to reverse. At this time, the telescopic component 422 continuously applies upward pulling force, which can work together to pull out the tubular moisture meter 200. When drilling into the tubular moisture meter 200, the first turning component 4332 engages with the square head 220 first, and then the tubular moisture meter 200 is moved to a suitable position. Then, the first driving component 4331 is activated to drive the tubular moisture meter 200 to rotate forward, and at the same time, downward pressure is applied, which can then drive the tubular moisture meter 200 into the soil 110. The first driving component 4331 and the second driving component 4333 are both motors, and the control buttons for the first driving component 4331 and the second driving component 4333 are located on the push-pull table 432.

[0037] like Figure 7 As shown in the embodiment of the water use efficiency monitoring device for drought resistance and biomass coupling of rain-fed spring maize provided in this invention, the rotating table 431 is further provided with a pulling component 500. The pulling component 500 includes a pulling platform 510 and a pulling part 520. The pulling platform 510 is rotatably mounted on the rotating table 431. The rotating table 431 has a pulling groove 511. The pulling part 520 is movably mounted in the pulling groove 511. The pulling part 520 includes a movable frame 521, a first clamp 522 and a second clamp 523. The movable frame 521 is located in the pulling groove 511. The first clamp 522 and the second clamp 523 are in a cross state and are connected by a hinge shaft, thereby being fixed in the movable frame 521. The ends of the first clamp 522 and the second clamp 523 are fitted with rubber sleeves 524 to prevent the first clamp 522 and the second clamp 523 from slipping off when pulling out the plant.

[0038] Here, during the growth process of the plant, it may die for various reasons. At this time, it is necessary to pull out the dead plant. By setting the pulling component 500 on the rotating table 431, during operation, the pulling table 510 is rotated, which causes the rubber sleeves 524 of the first clamp 522 and the second clamp 523 of the pulling part 520 to face the dead plant. After the direction is set, the movable frame 521 can be moved towards the dead plant by pushing and pulling. Finally, the first clamp 522 and the second clamp 523 are operated to clamp the plant. And because the rubber sleeves 524 are set at the ends of the first clamp 522 and the second clamp 523, the rubber sleeves 524 will not dislodge under the action of huge friction during the clamping process with the plant. After clamping, the telescopic part 422 is operated to continuously apply upward pulling force, and the plant can be pulled out. To make operation easier, a tension spring can be connected between the handheld ends of the first clamp 522 and the second clamp 523. In this way, before each removal of a plant, it is not necessary to manually separate the rubber sleeves 524 of the first clamp 522 and the second clamp 523 each time. The movable frame 521 can be moved directly along the removal groove 511.

[0039] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown in a specific embodiment of the water use efficiency monitoring device for drought resistance and biomass coupling of rain-fed spring maize provided in this invention, a cover plate 600 is also provided at one end of the surrounding frame 300. A blowing component 610 is also provided on the cover plate 600. This blowing component 610 can blow air, hot air, and cold air. A first air vent 620 is provided on the cover plate 600. The blowing component 610 blows air into the surrounding frame 300 through the first air vent 620. A corrugated plate 630 is also provided inside the cover plate 600. An air duct is formed between the corrugated plate 630 and the cover plate 600. A second air vent 631 is provided at the trough of the corrugated plate 630. The air in the air duct is blown into the surrounding frame 300 through the second air vent 631.

[0040] It is important to note that, in order to fully simulate windy weather and prevent only the plants located below the first vent 620 from being fully exposed to the wind, a corrugated plate is also provided inside the cover plate 600. Each trough of the corrugated plate 630 has a second vent 631 set at an angle. By setting the second vent 631 at an angle, the air blown out from the second vent 631 can be directed in one direction and can be blown entirely towards the plants. After the air blower assembly 610 blows out the air, it will all rush into the air duct and then be blown into the surrounding frame 300 through the second vent 631 of the corrugated plate 630. The trough of the corrugated plate 630 is the lowest point of the structure. When the vent is set at this point, the airflow generated by the fan will flow along the curved contour of the corrugated plate 630. The arc structure of the corrugated plate 630 has a natural guiding effect on the airflow, avoiding the airflow turbulence caused by direct blowing. Moreover, the space at the trough is "grooved". After the airflow converges in the groove, it is blown out from the vent, forming a highly directional and uniform airflow bundle.

[0041] like Figure 3 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the water use efficiency monitoring device for drought resistance and biomass coupling of rain-fed spring maize provided in this invention, a water delivery component 700 is also provided on the surrounding frame 300. The water delivery component 700 includes a third driving member 710, a threaded rod 720, and a spray head 730. The third driving member 710 is fixed on one side of the surrounding frame 300. The threaded rod 720 is rotatably disposed inside the surrounding frame 300 and connected to the third driving member 710. The third driving member 710 is a motor. The spray head 730 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 720. When the threaded rod 720 rotates, it drives the spray head 730 to move. The spray head 730 has slots 731 on both sides. A water droplet forming member 740 is engaged in the slots 731. The water droplet forming member 740 has water droplet holes 741 to condense the water mist sprayed by the spray head 730 into water droplets that fall down.

[0042] This device has a water inlet on one side of the spray head 730, and a pipe through-hole on the upper side of the rubber baffle 310 surrounding the frame 300. A baffle is installed on the pipe through-hole, and the water supply pipe enters the surrounding frame 300 through the pipe through-hole and connects to the water inlet. If water is not needed, the water supply pipe can be disconnected and the baffle placed back into the water supply pipe. This device can apply water in two states: mist and droplets. The spray head 730 sprays a mist, which is the mist state at this time. If it needs to be set to a droplet state, the droplet forming part 740 is installed on the slot 731. The droplet-forming component 740 has a droplet plate with droplet holes 741. Water mist gathers on the droplet plate and eventually drips down through the droplet holes 741. To ensure a realistic simulation effect when in a droplet state and reduce water mist passage, the droplet holes 741 on the droplet-forming component 740 are designed as frustum cones, meaning the cross-section of the droplet holes 741 is an isosceles trapezoid. The diameter of the droplet holes 741 is larger at the end closer to the spray head 730 and smaller at the end farther from the spray head 730, increasing the contact area between the droplet plate and the water mist and reducing direct water mist passage through the droplet holes 741. Thus, most of the water mist falls on the upper side of the droplet plate and the side of the droplet holes 741. As the water mist continues to spray out, a large amount of water mist gathers, eventually condensing into droplets and dripping down from the droplet holes 741.

[0043] This device includes two planting boxes 100, which are hinged together. If planting is required in the field, the cover plate 600 and the surrounding frame 300 need to be removed. To ensure monitoring effectiveness and provide the plants with the same conditions, the two planting boxes 100 can be unfolded side by side. If planting is required in the laboratory, the cover plate 600 and the surrounding frame 300 need to be covered, and the two planting boxes 100 need to be folded together side by side to save space. In addition, if planting is done in the laboratory, LED plant growth lights need to be installed on the cover plate 600 to meet the growth needs of the plants.
