Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sealing covers, in particular to a waterproof sealing cover for measuring pipes. Background Art
[0002] When planting fruit trees in Xinjiang, fruit farmers often adopt an innovative soil monitoring method, that is, burying measuring pipes underground in the orchard, as shown below. Figure 5 These measuring pipes are usually installed vertically with the ground, and the depth is about one meter. Their main function is to facilitate fruit farmers to regularly collect the soil volume moisture content data in this depth range to monitor key indicators such as the soil humidity in the area where the fruit tree roots are concentrated. Through these data, fruit farmers can accurately adjust the irrigation plan and soil improvement measures, thereby optimizing the growth environment of fruit trees and improving the yield and quality.
[0003] However, in practical applications, the traditional design of measuring pipes often faces a series of challenges. First, due to the long sunshine time, dry climate and large temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang, the opening of the measuring pipe is directly exposed on the ground surface, which is easily eroded by wind and sand and rainwater, resulting in the blockage of the pipe orifice or internal water accumulation, thus affecting the accuracy and timeliness of data collection. Second, in the low-temperature environment in winter, the water accumulated inside the measuring pipe may also freeze and expand, causing the deformation or even rupture of the measuring pipe, seriously affecting its service life and monitoring effect.

[0023] Embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.
[0024] As shown in Figure 1 the figure, a waterproof sealing cover for a measuring tube, the sealing cover is arranged on the measuring tube, and the sealing cover includes:
[0025] A fixing part 2, which is clamped on the measuring tube; as shown in Figure 1 , 3 and 5, the fixing part 2 is a cylindrical structure, and its diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the measuring tube in Figure 5 . The fixing part 2 can just be sleeved on the top of the measuring tube, and it is not easy to be taken out by natural force after being sleeved. The fixing part 2 is made of metal material, and an anti-corrosion layer is applied on the surface to improve the service life of the fixing part 2.
[0026] A sealing cover 1, which is movably arranged on the fixing part 2 through a connecting part 8, as shown in Figure 1 , 2 and 4. The connecting part 8 is a hinge. The sealing cover 1 can rotate on the top of the fixing part 2 through the hinge to open or close the sealing cover 1. The sealing cover 1 is a hemispherical structure, made of metal material, and a handle 3 is installed on the top of the outer side. When in use, the sealing cover 1 is opened or closed through the handle 3; a small magnet is installed on the top of the fixing part 2, and the small magnet is installed opposite to the connecting part 8. When the sealing cover 1 is in the closed state, the small magnet attracts the sealing cover 1 to prevent the sealing cover 1 from being blown open by strong wind.
[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 the figure, when in use, first install the fixing part 2 on the top of the measuring tube, then use the sealing cover 1 to seal the measuring tube, and fix the sealing cover 1 through the small magnet; when it is necessary to take a soil sample through the measuring tube, the operator opens the sealing cover 1, and the soil sampling probe takes a soil sample through the measuring tube. After the soil sampling is completed, the operator closes the sealing cover 1. At this time, the small magnet fixes the sealing cover. In this embodiment, by installing the sealing cover and the fixing part on the measuring tube, rainwater is prevented from entering the measuring tube, the accuracy of detecting the moisture content of the soil sample in the measuring tube is improved, and the service life of the measuring tube is also improved.
[0028] As an alternative embodiment of the present invention, optionally, an installation groove 7 is provided on the side wall of the fixing part 2, and the fixing part 2 is arranged on the measuring tube through the installation groove 7.
[0029] As shown in Figure 3 the figure, the installation groove 7 is opened in the side wall of the fixing part 2. The width of the installation groove 7 is slightly larger than the width of the outer wall of the measuring tube, so that the measuring tube can be firmly clamped in the installation groove 7 of the fixing part 2. The height of the installation groove 7 is about ten centimeters, which can effectively prevent rainwater from entering the measuring tube through the installation groove 7 and improve the accuracy of the moisture content of the soil sample in the measuring tube.
[0030] As an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, optionally, a rain wiper 6 is provided at the bottom of the installation groove 7.
[0031] As Figure 3 shown, the rain wiper 6 is made of flexible plastic, and the rain wipers 6 are installed on the inner sides of the bottom of the installation groove 7. The rain wiper 6 is used to prevent rainwater from entering the installation groove 7, further preventing rainwater from entering the measuring tube through the installation groove 7, and improving the accuracy of the moisture content of the soil sample in the measuring tube.
[0032] As an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, optionally, the top of the installation groove 7 is of an arc-shaped structure.
[0033] As Figure 3 shown, designing the top of the installation groove 7 to be of an arc-shaped structure is to enable the installation groove 7 to be fully combined with the top of the measuring tube, further preventing rainwater from entering the measuring tube through the installation groove 7, and improving the accuracy of the moisture content of the soil sample in the measuring tube.
[0034] As an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, optionally, a waterproof ridge 5 is provided at the top of the fixing part 2.
[0035] As Figure 2 and 3 shown, the waterproof ridge 5 is integrally formed with the fixing part 2. When the sealing cover 1 is closed on the fixing part 2, there will be a very small gap between the two, and water molecules may enter the measuring tube from here. Therefore, installing the waterproof ridge 5 at the top of the fixing part 2 can effectively prevent water molecules from entering the measuring tube through the installation groove 7, and improve the accuracy of the moisture content of the soil sample in the measuring tube.
[0036] As an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, optionally, a rain shield 4 is provided on the outer side of the sealing cover 1.
[0037] As Figure 1 、 2 and 4 shown, the rain shields 4 are installed around the periphery of the sealing cover 1 and are installed obliquely downward. Rainwater can flow to the outside of the measuring tube through the rain shields 4, so that rainwater will not enter the gap between the fixing part 2 and the sealing cover 1 during rain, and it can remain dry; the rain shield 4 is made of rubber material and has softness.
[0038] As an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, optionally, the rain shield 4 is made of rubber material.
[0039] As Figure 4 shown, the rain shield 4 is fixed to the periphery of the rain shield 4 by pasting. Making the rain shield 4 of rubber material can make the rain shield 4 have softness, so that there will be no mutual interference between the sealing cover 1 and the fixing part 2 due to the rain shield 4 when the sealing cover 1 is opened.
[0040] As an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, optionally, a handle 3 is provided on the top of the sealing cover 1.
[0041] As Figure 1 and 4 shown, the handle 3 is installed on the top of the sealing cover 1 for facilitating the opening and closing of the sealing cover 1.
[0042] As an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, optionally, the sealing cover 1 and the handle 3 are integrally formed.
[0043] As Figure 1 and 4 shown, the integral formation of the sealing cover 1 and the handle 3 improves the stability and service life of the entire sealing cover structure.
[0044] As an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, optionally, the fixing part 2 and the installation groove 7 are integrally formed.
[0045] As Figure 1 shown, the integral formation of the fixing part 2 and the installation groove 7 can improve the rigidity of the structure of the fixing part 2 and extend the service life of the fixing part 2.
[0046] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
