Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0022] See also Figure 1-3 This patent provides a technical solution: a height-adjustable plant maintenance monitoring device, comprising a base 1 and a cylinder 2, the cylinder 2 is installed on the upper wall of the base 1, a pin 3 is inserted and installed on the upper wall of the base 1, and the pin 3 is inserted and installed in the external ground;

[0023] A square groove 4 is provided on the upper wall of the cylinder 2, a slide 5 is inserted into the square groove 4, a square block 6 is installed at one end of the slide 5 located in the square groove 4, the square block 6 can slide up and down in the square groove 4, and a solar cell panel 7 is installed at one end of the slide 5 located outside the cylinder 2;

[0024] When the device is in use, it is necessary to ensure that the height of the solar panel 7 is higher than the height of the vegetation, so the height of the device needs to be adjusted at different growth stages of the plant;

[0025] When adjusting, it is necessary to rotate the rotary sleeve 8 so that the slide cylinder moves up and down in the cylinder body 2 through the action of the thread, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the height of the device;

[0026] The upper wall of the cylinder 2 is rotatably mounted with a rotating sleeve 8, the inner side of the rotating sleeve 8 is provided with an internal thread, the outer side of the slide 5 is provided with an external thread, and the rotating sleeve 8 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the slide 5 through the thread;

[0027] The slide cylinder 5 proposed in this article is installed in the square groove 4, and a square block 6 is also provided at the end of the slide cylinder 5 to prevent the slide cylinder 5 from rotating in the square groove 4.

[0028] Specifically, a battery 9 is installed in the inner cavity of the cylinder 2, the solar panel 7 is electrically connected to the battery 9, a soil moisture detector 10 is installed in the cylinder 2, a plug hole 11 is opened on the lower wall of the cylinder 2, the plug hole 11 passes through the lower wall of the base 1, and the probe of the soil moisture detector 10 is inserted into the external soil through the plug hole 11, and the soil moisture detector 10 is electrically connected to the battery 9;

[0029] The solar panel 7 converts light energy into electrical energy and charges its storage battery 9. Herein, the output voltage of the solar panel 7 matches the charging voltage of the storage battery 9. Then, the storage battery 9 supplies power to the soil moisture detector 10 and the temperature detector 18. The soil moisture and temperature of the plant growth environment are monitored by the soil moisture detector 10 and the temperature detector 18, thereby achieving the purpose of scientific plant maintenance.

[0030] The soil moisture detector 10 and the temperature detector 18 proposed in this article are both provided with a network module inside, so that they can transmit the real-time monitoring data to the mobile device of the staff, making them more convenient to use.

[0031] Specifically, a through slot 12 is formed on the side wall of the cylinder 2, and the through slot 12 is connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder 2. A cover 13 is hingedly connected to the side wall of the cylinder 2, and the cover 13 can be inserted into the through slot 12.

[0032] The soil moisture detector 10 and the storage battery 9 can be inspected, maintained or replaced by opening the cover 13 .

[0033] Specifically, an annular groove 14 is provided on the upper wall of the cylinder 2, a convex ring 15 is installed on the lower wall of the rotating sleeve 8, the convex ring 15 can be inserted into the annular groove 14, and the convex ring 15 can rotate in the annular groove 14. A rotating ring 16 is sleeved on the outside of the cylinder 2, and one end of a connecting rod 17 is installed on the upper wall of the rotating ring 16, and the other end of the connecting rod 17 is installed on the lower wall of the rotating sleeve 8.

[0034] Because the height of the rotating sleeve 8 is relatively high, in order to facilitate the staff to adjust the overall height of the device, a rotating ring 16 is provided, so that the rotating sleeve 8 can be driven to rotate by rotating the rotating ring 16, so that the height of the device can be adjusted.

[0037] In this device, the scale lines set on the side wall of the slide 5 do not start from zero, but from the value of the length of the cylinder 2. The staff can observe the scale lines through the transparent plate 20 and intuitively see the height of the device, thereby inferring the height of the plant and recording the height of the plant.

[0038] Working principle: In order to prevent the solar panel 7 from being blocked by vegetation when the device is in use, it is necessary to ensure that the height of the solar panel 7 is higher than the height of the vegetation. Therefore, the height of the device needs to be adjusted at different growth stages of the plant. When adjusting, the rotating sleeve 8 needs to be driven to rotate by the rotating ring 16, so that the sliding cylinder can be controlled to move up and down in the cylinder 2 through the action of the thread, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the height of the device;

[0039] After the adjustment is completed, the device works normally, and the battery 9 supplies power to the soil moisture detector 10 and the temperature detector 18. The soil moisture and temperature of the plant growth environment are monitored by the soil moisture detector 10 and the temperature detector 18, thereby achieving the purpose of scientific plant maintenance.
