Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of temperature and humidity monitoring for fruit tree planting, and particularly relates to a soil temperature and humidity monitoring device for fruit and vegetable planting. Background Technique

[0002] During the process of fruit tree planting, the detection of soil temperature and humidity is a crucial task. Appropriate soil temperature is conducive to the growth and nutrient absorption of fruit tree roots. For example, in early spring, too low soil temperature may delay the budding and new shoot growth of fruit trees; while in summer with high temperature, too high soil temperature may damage the roots. Appropriate soil humidity is also crucial for the growth and development of fruit trees. Too low soil humidity will cause water shortage in fruit trees, affecting the yield and quality of fruits. Taking apple trees as an example, if the soil is too dry during the fruit swelling period, it may lead to small fruit size and poor taste. On the contrary, too high soil humidity may cause root diseases such as root rot;

[0003] Chinese Patent with the publication number of "CN219795149U" discloses a soil temperature and humidity monitoring device for planting land, which includes a support plate. A monitoring mechanism is arranged below the support plate. The monitoring mechanism includes a rotating rod that penetrates the top surface of the support plate and is rotatably connected to the support plate, and a turntable coaxially fixed at the bottom end of the rotating rod and located below the support plate. A drilling component and a monitoring component are arranged below the turntable. The utility model connects an external driving device with two traction blocks, and through the cooperation of a number of universal wheels, the whole device can move. By setting the monitoring mechanism, the soil that needs to be monitored for temperature and humidity can be drilled. After drilling, the temperature and humidity of the soil below the ground can be monitored. Holes can be drilled on the ground in advance before monitoring, so as to facilitate the feeding of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor underground, and improve the service life of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor;

[0004] During the use of the above-mentioned device, although the soil humidity detection can be assisted by drilling, there are still certain defects and deficiencies in the specific application process. First of all, the device adopts the form of universal wheels rolling on the ground for movement. However, in the fields or greenhouses, due to the high humidity and muddy land, it is obvious that small wheel bodies such as universal wheels are difficult to move smoothly on such a ground environment. Moreover, during its use, it needs to rely on manual pushing of the device to move to assist in completing the detection work. Thus, it can be seen that in the overall detection process, this method is extremely labor-consuming and material-consuming, and cannot achieve fast and automatic detection, and there are certain defects and deficiencies in the overall use. Therefore, it is necessary to improve it. For example, in some farmlands with particularly high humidity, the universal wheels may get stuck in the mud, resulting in the inability of the device to move, seriously affecting the efficiency and progress of the detection work. Or, when the area to be detected is large, the long-term operation of manually pushing the device will make the operator extremely tired, increasing the difficulty and burden of the work.

Detailed implementation manners

[0023] Embodiment

[0024] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, a land temperature and humidity monitoring device for fruit and vegetable planting includes a track 1. A sliding mechanism 2 is movably installed inside the track 1. A first motor 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the sliding mechanism 2. The output end of the first motor 3 at the bottom penetrates through the sliding mechanism 2 and is fixedly installed with a mounting frame 4. A first electric push rod 5 is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 4. The output end of the first electric push rod 5 penetrates through the mounting frame 4 and is fixedly installed with a detection mechanism 6;

[0025] The sliding mechanism 2 includes a slider 21. A mounting disc 22 is fixedly installed at the top of the slider 21. The first motor 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting disc 22. The output end of the first motor 3 penetrates through the slider 21. A power assembly 23 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting disc 22. First of all, the cooperation between the track 1 and the sliding mechanism 2 is very delicate. The slider 21 of the sliding mechanism 2 can move flexibly inside the track 1, ensuring the stability and directionality of the movement. This enables the detection mechanism 6 to perform precise displacement along the predetermined track 1, avoiding deviation and omission of the detection position, thus greatly improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the detection data. Secondly, the setting of the first motor 3 is of great significance. It is located at the top of the sliding mechanism 2, and its bottom output end penetrates through the sliding mechanism 2 and is connected to the mounting bracket 4. Driven by the first motor 3, the mounting bracket 4 can be driven to rotate, thereby realizing the position switching of different components in the detection mechanism 6. This rotational function increases the flexibility and adaptability of the device, enabling the detection work to be carried out more efficiently. Furthermore, the first electric push rod 5 fixedly installed inside the mounting bracket 4 plays a key role. Its output end penetrates through the mounting bracket 4 and is connected to the detection mechanism 6, capable of precisely controlling the up and down movement of the detection mechanism 6. This is very important for adjusting the contact depth and angle between the detection mechanism 6 and the land, helping to obtain accurate temperature and humidity data under different land conditions and detection requirements. Finally, the power assembly 23 fixedly installed on one side of the mounting disc 22 provides power support for the sliding mechanism 2. It can ensure that the slider 21 slides smoothly and quickly inside the track 1, making the entire detection process more automated and intelligent, greatly saving labor and time costs, and improving the detection efficiency.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4, the power assembly 23 includes a side frame 231 and a rack 232. The side frame 231 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 22, and the rack 232 is fixedly installed on one side of the track 1 close to the side frame 231. A second motor 233 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the side frame 231. The output end of the second motor 233 penetrates through the side frame 231 and is fixedly installed with a gear 234. The gear 234 is meshed and connected with the rack 232. The overall cross-sectional shape of the slider 21 is cross-shaped, and the overall cross-sectional shape of the inner cavity of the track 1 is also cross-shaped. A wear-resistant gasket is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the slider 21. The track 1 is integrally concave-shaped. Fixed disks 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the track 1. Mounting holes 8 are opened at the four corners of the fixed disk 7. The mounting holes 8 are countersunk holes. The side frame 231 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 22, providing a stable support for the second motor 233. The rack 232 is fixedly installed on one side of the track 1 close to the side frame 231 and is meshed and connected with the gear 234 installed through the side frame 231 at the output end of the second motor 233. This structure enables precise and efficient power transmission. The meshing of the gear 234 and the rack 232 can provide stable and powerful power, ensuring the smooth sliding of the slider 21 in the track 1 without being interfered by the outside world. The overall cross-sectional shape of the slider 21 is cross-shaped, which perfectly matches the inner cavity of the track 1 with the same cross-sectional shape. This design increases the contact area between the slider 21 and the track 1, improves the stability and reliability of sliding, effectively prevents the slider 21 from shaking or shifting during movement, and ensures the accuracy of detection. The wear-resistant gasket fixedly connected to the outer surface of the slider 21 can reduce the wear between the slider 21 and the track 1, extend the service life of the device, and reduce the maintenance cost. The track 1 is integrally concave-shaped, which is not only beautiful but also has high structural strength and can withstand large pressures and loads. The fixed disks 7 fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the track 1 and the countersunk mounting holes 8 opened at the four corners thereof facilitate the fixed installation of the device in the planting area. The design of the countersunk holes makes the bolts not protrude after installation, avoiding affecting the operation of the device and the surrounding environment, and at the same time increasing the firmness of the installation, ensuring that the device can also work stably in a complex planting environment.

[0027] Reference Figures 2-4, the detection mechanism 6 includes a chassis 61, the chassis 61 is fixedly installed at the bottom output end of the first electric push rod 5, a drilling assembly 62 is fixedly installed at one end of the chassis 61, a second electric push rod 64 is fixedly installed at the end of the chassis 61 away from the drilling assembly 62, the output end of the second electric push rod 64 penetrates through the chassis 61 and is fixedly installed with a temperature and humidity sensor 63. The drilling assembly 62 includes a third motor 621, the third motor 621 is fixedly installed at the top of the chassis 61 away from the temperature and humidity sensor 63, the bottom output end of the third motor 621 penetrates through the chassis 61 and is fixedly installed with a drilling bit 622. Support rings 623 are fixedly installed on both sides of the slider 21, support shafts 624 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the chassis 61, the upper ends of the support shafts 624 are inserted into the inner sides of the support rings 623, and the support rings 623 are slidably connected with the support shafts 624. The chassis 61 is fixedly installed at the bottom output end of the first electric push rod 5, ensuring that the chassis 61 can move up and down stably, so as to accurately adjust the detection position and drilling depth. The drilling assembly 62 at one end of the chassis 61 cooperates with the second electric push rod 64 and the temperature and humidity sensor 63 at the other end to realize the integrated operation of drilling and detection. The third motor 621 in the drilling assembly 62 can provide powerful power for the drilling bit 622, enabling it to quickly and effectively drill holes in the ground to prepare for the detection of the temperature and humidity sensor 63. The second electric push rod 64 can accurately control the extension and retraction of the temperature and humidity sensor 63 to ensure that the temperature and humidity sensor 63 can accurately enter the drilled hole for detection. The support rings 623 fixedly installed on both sides of the slider 21 are slidably connected with the support shafts 624 on both sides of the top of the chassis 61. This structure increases the stability and guiding property of the movement of the chassis 61, preventing the chassis 61 from shifting or shaking during the movement, and further improving the accuracy of detection.

[0028] Principle of use and advantages: By setting up the sliding mechanism 2 and matching it with the track 1, when the device is in use, it can be firmly installed on the land of the planting area by using the mounting holes 8 on the fixed disk 7 and bolts. During the detection process, only need to start the second motor 233 to drive the gear 234 to rotate. Since the gear 234 and the rack 232 are in meshing connection, at this time the gear 234 can provide power to promote the slider 21 to slide inside the track 1. The slider 21 slides linearly inside the track 1, thereby driving the entire detection mechanism 6 to perform a horizontal linear displacement. In this way, the detection mechanism 6 of the device can automatically move in the field and perform detections. The overall use process does not require manual pushing operation. On the one hand, it greatly saves manpower requirements; on the other hand, its movement is more stable and rapid, and the overall detection efficiency can be significantly improved. For example, in a large-scale planting area, this automatic moving detection method can cover a large area in a short time and quickly obtain data at multiple detection points, greatly improving work efficiency. Compared with manual pushing, automatic movement is not limited by the physical strength and speed of the operator and can maintain a stable detection rhythm;

[0029] By setting up the detection mechanism 6, when the device is in use, the first electric push rod 5 can be started to drive the entire chassis 61 to move downward. At this time, start the third motor 621 to operate, and the third motor 621 drives the drilling bit 622 to drill on the ground, so as to drill holes at the positions to be detected. After the drilling is completed, the first electric push rod 5 drives the drilling bit 622 and the temperature and humidity sensor 63 to move upward. Then start the first motor 3 to drive the mounting frame 4 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting frame 4 can change the positions of the detection probes of the drilling bit 622 and the temperature and humidity sensor 63. At this time, start the second electric push rod 64 to operate, and the temperature and humidity sensor 63 can be moved into the previously drilled hole to assist in detecting the ground. At the same time, start the third motor 621 again to drive the drilling bit 622 to drill again. By repeating such operations, the temperature and humidity of different positions of the soil can be detected repeatedly for many times. This can improve the overall detection performance of the device, facilitate the detection of temperature and humidity at different depths of the ground, and at the same time, it can also avoid the situation where the probe of the temperature and humidity sensor 63 is damaged by strongly drilling into the ground, effectively improving the overall service life of the device. For example, when detecting the temperature and humidity at different depths of the soil, this alternating drilling and detection method can accurately obtain information at multiple levels, provide more comprehensive and accurate data for growers, help formulate more scientific planting strategies, and moreover, avoiding damage to the sensor probe can reduce the cost of equipment maintenance and replacement and increase the long-term use value of the device.
