[0002] Microplastics usually refer to plastic particles with a particle size of less than 5 mm. Due to the long-term use of agricultural mulch, the application of organic fertilizers and sludge, and sewage irrigation, soil has been facing a serious threat of microplastic pollution. Exogenously input microplastics can migrate from the soil surface to the soil interior under various effects such as rainwater erosion and biological action. After accumulating to a certain extent, it not only changes the mechanical properties and physical and chemical properties of the soil, threatening the balance of the soil ecosystem, but also poses a huge hidden danger to the production of crops and the safety of agricultural products. Despite this, there is still a lack of research on the distribution, migration, fate and ecological impact of microplastics in soil. When conducting a simulation experiment of microplastics through the current experimental device for soil microplastic migration, the spraying equipment for the experimental soil is mostly fixed, and the spraying range of the soil is relatively fixed, which cannot effectively ensure the uniform spraying of the experimental soil, resulting in a poor ecological environment for simulated rainwater to scour the soil.

The partition net 51 is used for storing simulated test soil. A first handle frame 52 is welded and fixed to the front side wall of the simulation box 5. The first handle frame 52 is provided to facilitate taking the simulation box 5 in the experimental cavity 3.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the inner cavity of the box body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 6 penetrating the experimental cavity 3, and a mounting frame 7 is slidably connected in the mounting groove 6. The mounting frame 7 is used for installing and fixing a spray mechanism 8. The number of the spray mechanisms 8 matches the number of the experimental cavities 3, and the left and right side walls of the box body 1 are equipped with a driving mechanism 9 which is transmission-connected to the mounting frame 7. The driving mechanism 9 drives the mounting frame 7 to reciprocate in the front and rear directions in the experimental cavity 3, and then the water in the water storage cavity 2 is sprayed to the soil in the simulation box 5 below through the spray mechanism 8;

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in , the spray mechanism 8 includes a liquid supply pump 81, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 7. The liquid supply pump 81 is electrically connected to an external power supply. A nozzle 82 is embedded in the mounting frame 7. The nozzle 82 adopts a nozzle with adjustable liquid flow rate and liquid pressure, which is convenient for adjusting the liquid flow rate and liquid pressure according to the needs of the simulation experiment.

[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving mechanism 9 includes a mounting shell 91, which is symmetrically formed on the left and right side walls of the box body 1. A driving screw 92 is rotatably connected in the mounting shell 91. The thread directions of the driving screws 92 assembled in the mounting shells 91 on both sides are the same. The rear ends of the mounting shells 91 on both sides are respectively embedded with driving motors 93. The output end of the driving motor 93 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the driving screw 92 through a coupling. The driving motors 93 in the mounting shells 91 on both sides are electrically connected to an external controller, and the output ends of the driving motors 93 on both sides are controlled by the external controller to rotate forward synchronously. Or reverse, thereby driving the driving screw 92 to rotate forward or reverse, the outer side walls of the driving screws 92 on both sides are respectively screwed with driving blocks 94, when the driving screws 92 rotate, the driving blocks 94 are driven to move in the installation shell 91, the driving blocks 94 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the installation frame 7, and the movement of the driving blocks 94 drives the installation frame 7 to reciprocate forward and backward in the experimental chamber 3, and the installation shell 91 is fixedly equipped with a guide shaft 95 that penetrates the driving block 94, and the moving stroke of the driving block 94 is limited by setting the guide shaft 95 to ensure the accurate moving stroke of the driving block 94;

The first contact switch 96 and the second contact switch 97 are electrically connected to an external controller that controls the drive motor 93. When the drive block 94 moves from back to front and touches the second contact switch 97 on the front side, the second contact switch 97 sends an electrical signal to the external controller, and the external controller controls the output end of the drive motor 93 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the drive block 94 and the mounting frame 7 to move backward. When the drive block 94 triggers the first contact switch 96 located on the rear side, the first contact switch 96 sends an electrical signal to the external controller, and the external controller controls the output end of the drive motor 93 to reverse again, thereby driving the drive block 94 and the mounting frame 7 to move forward, thereby realizing the front and rear reciprocating motion of the mounting frame 7 in the experimental chamber 3.

[0027] A water collecting box 10 is inserted into the water collecting chamber 4. The water collecting box 10 is used to collect the liquid filtered out of the simulation box 5.

The marking areas 11 are provided to facilitate matching the experimental samples of the simulation box 5 with those of the water collecting box 10.

[0028] The front side wall of the box body 1 is hinged with a switch door 12, which is used to close the experimental chamber 3. An observation window is embedded in the switch door 12. The observation window is made of tempered glass, so that the experimental process in the experimental chamber 3 can be observed during the experiment.

[0029] Working principle: When the device is in use, the soil with the same weight and the same content of microplastics is placed in different simulation boxes 5 respectively, and then the simulation boxes 5 are placed in the corresponding experimental chambers 3 respectively, and the water collection box 10 is inserted into the water collection chamber 4. According to the needs of the simulation experiment, different amounts of water are added to different water storage chambers 2. If the injection flow rate and injection pressure of the nozzles 82 in each spray mechanism 8 are adjusted to the same parameters, the water in the water storage chamber 2 is sprayed into the simulation box 5 below through the nozzles 82, and then the driving mechanism 9 drives the mounting frame 7 to reciprocate back and forth in the experimental chamber 3 to ensure that the spray mechanism 8 sprays water evenly on the soil in the simulation box 5. After all the storage chambers are filled with water, the spray flow rate and injection pressure of the nozzles 82 in each spray mechanism 8 are adjusted to the same parameters, and the water in the water storage chamber 2 is sprayed into the simulation box 5 below through the nozzles 82. Then, the driving mechanism 9 drives the mounting frame 7 to reciprocate back and forth in the experimental chamber 3 to ensure that the spray mechanism 8 sprays water evenly on the soil in the simulation box 5. After the water in the water cavity 2 is sprayed, the content of microplastics in the simulation box 5 and the water collecting box 10 is respectively detected, so that the influence of different amounts of water on the diffusion of microplastics in the soil can be judged. If the same amount of water is added to the water collecting box 10, the injection pressure and injection flow rate of the nozzle 82 are adjusted, and the microplastic content in the simulation box 5 and the water collecting box 10 is subsequently detected, the influence of water pressure on the diffusion of microplastics in the soil can be judged. This device can effectively simulate the situation in which rainwater erosion causes the diffusion of microplastics in the soil in a natural environment, so as to facilitate the study of the influence of microplastics on the soil environment and the damage to the soil ecology.
