[0002] Soil temperature and humidity sensors can measure the temperature and humidity of air and soil. Some soil temperature and humidity sensors have soil conductivity detection function.

[0003] First, the existing sensor needs to insert the detection rod into the soil when detecting the soil. However, due to the soft texture of the soil, the sensor is easily affected by the external natural environment and animals when placed, causing it to tilt, thereby affecting the normal detection of the sensor and having poor stability.

[0004] Second, after the existing sensor detection rod is pulled out of the soil, a large amount of soil will adhere to the surface. At this time, the user needs to manually wipe the detection rod. Since there are multiple detection rods, the wiping time is increased and the cleaning efficiency is reduced. Utility Model Content
