[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail in combination with the embodiments below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0021] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device comprises:

[0022] The equipment compartment 9 is used to store batteries and related equipment and is connected to the equipment compartment cover 11 with bolts;

[0023] A base 8, connecting the equipment compartment 8 and the plurality of probes;

[0024] The plurality of probes include: a signal probe 1, a first grounding probe 2, a second grounding probe 3, a third grounding probe 4 and a fourth grounding probe 5 fixed to a third fixing hole 16, a first fixing hole 12, a second fixing hole 14, a fourth fixing hole 17 and a fifth fixing hole 19 of the base by welding nuts;

[0025] The base is also provided with a first temperature sensor 6 and a second temperature sensor 7, which are fixed to the first temperature sensor fixing hole 13 and the second temperature sensor fixing hole 18 of the base by welding nuts.

[0026] The size of the base is smaller than that of the equipment compartment, the cross section of the equipment compartment is rectangular, the cross section of the base is circular, and four equipment slots (21-24) are arranged on two corresponding sides of the rectangle.

[0027] The two device slots (21-22) located on one side are used to place the signal output ports of the DSS signal generator, and the signal output ports of the DSS signal generator are connected to the signal input port 15 located on the base.

[0028] The two device slots (23-24) on the other side are used to place the signal output ports of the amplitude and phase measurement circuit, and the signal output ports of the amplitude and phase measurement circuit are connected to the signal output port 20 on the base.

[0029] A battery fixing plate is provided between the two slots on the same side for placing the storage battery for powering the device.

[0030] The battery fixing plate (25-26) is used to place the storage battery for powering the device;

[0031] A LoRa fixing hole is provided on the side of the equipment compartment for fixing the LoRa module, and the antenna extends outward from the LoRa fixing hole.

[0032] See also Figure 3 As shown, the device includes: a sensor probe, a temperature sensor, an STM32 controller, a DDS signal generator, an amplitude and phase measurement circuit, and a LoRa wireless transmission module. First, the STM32 controller sends a control signal to the DDS signal generator through a wire to control it to generate a 0-100 MHz sweep frequency signal that increases over time. The signal enters the signal input port 15 through the signal transmission line and is transmitted to the signal probe 1. Since the soil moisture content and temperature are different, the electrical signal will change to varying degrees. The changed signal is input to the amplitude and phase measurement circuit through the signal output port 20 through the signal transmission line. The circuit compares the received changed signal with the unchanged signal to obtain the amplitude and phase ratio between the two signals, and transmits the data to the STM32 controller. At the same time, the first temperature sensor 6 and the second temperature sensor 7 transmit the collected soil temperature data to the STM32 controller. The STM32 controller transmits the received temperature, amplitude ratio and phase ratio to the meteorological base station through LoRa wireless. The meteorological base station converts the amplitude ratio, phase ratio and temperature into soil moisture content after calculation. After completing another acquisition cycle, the STM32 will enter low-power mode and wake up after a preset time to collect and send soil data again. This process is repeated to achieve dynamic monitoring of soil moisture content and reduce power consumption.

[0033] In actual use, the device involved in the utility model is simpler and easier to install. It only requires burying the probe in the soil to dynamically monitor the soil moisture content.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
