Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agriculture, in particular to an inter-row evaporation monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] The water consumption of crops includes soil evaporation between plants, transpiration of plants, and the water required to form the tissues of the crops themselves. Among them, the evaporation between plants accounts for a relatively large proportion of the total water consumption during the entire growth period of the crops, and it is ineffective water consumption. Mastering its water consumption law is crucial for improving water use efficiency and saving water. Therefore, it is very important to select a simple and accurate measurement tool to monitor the evaporation between plants of crops.

[0003] There are already some evaporation monitoring systems based on sensor technology. This system realizes the continuous observation of soil evaporation through the automatic data collection of the data collector by the sensors arranged on the evaporation device, and at the same time realizes synchronization with other meteorological factors, etc.

[0004] The publication number CN201885942U discloses a soil evaporation sensor, but this technology only uses a single sensor for monitoring, cannot receive and transmit multi-port data, has a small coverage area, and there are a large number of inter-row evaporation monitoring nodes in the orchard, so it is inconvenient to collect data.

[0005] The publication number CN209372143U discloses a real-time soil evaporation monitoring system, but this technology gives the data of the change in the weight of the soil column and cannot directly give the evaporation amount data of the soil. Moreover, the simulated soil column is provided with temperature and humidity sensors, and the composition structure is relatively complex.

[0006] Therefore, a device with a simple structure, capable of collecting and monitoring the evaporation data of different inter-rows in the monitoring area in real time and through multiple ports, reducing manual intervention and human errors, and capable of reducing the subsequent data processing process, and more directly reflecting the inter-row evaporation amount has important significance for agricultural water conservation. Content of the Utility Model

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the disadvantages in the prior art that it is impossible to measure the evaporation between different inter-rows in the orchard in real time, and the given data is the change in the weight of the soil column and cannot directly give the evaporation amount data of the soil, and to propose an inter-row evaporation monitoring device.

[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0009] An inter-row evaporation monitoring device, comprising a device main body, the device main body includes a sleeve, an inner cylinder, a weighing chassis, a weight sensor and a data collector. The weighing chassis is located on the inner wall at the bottom of the sleeve. The weight sensor is located on the top of the weighing chassis. The inner cylinder is located inside the sleeve and above the weight sensor. A sensor data line is connected between the weight sensor and the data collector;

[0010] A power supply component for supplying power to the weight sensor and the data collector. The power supply component is arranged on one side of the sleeve. The power supply component includes a solar panel, a bracket and a battery. The solar panel is installed on the top of the bracket. The battery cooperates with the solar panel. Both the weight sensor and the data collector are connected to the battery through cable wires. A plurality of fixing parts are arranged at the bottom of the outer wall of the bracket. The fixing part includes a mounting plate. The mounting plate is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the outer wall of the bracket. One end of the mounting plate is fixedly provided with a mounting cylinder. An installation rod is arranged inside the mounting cylinder. The bottom end of the installation rod is in the shape of a frustum of a cone. A plurality of consolidation plates are arranged inside the mounting cylinder. One end of the consolidation plate slides through to the outside of the mounting cylinder, and the other end of the consolidation plate cooperates with the installation rod.

[0011] In a possible design, the data collector is composed of a connecting wire, a signal receiver, a waterproof box, a port, a breadboard and a data acquisition control chip.

[0012] In a possible design, a protective ring is sleeved on the inner wall of the sleeve at the top of the outer wall of the inner cylinder.

[0013] In a possible design, the fixing part further includes a threaded rod. The threaded rod is fixedly arranged on the top of the installation rod. The top end of the threaded rod threadedly penetrates to the outside of the mounting cylinder.

[0014] In a possible design, the plurality of mounting plates are arranged in an annular and equally spaced manner.

[0015] In a possible design, the diameter of the sleeve is 30 cm and the height of the sleeve is 30 cm.

[0016] In a possible design, the diameter of the inner cylinder is 28 cm and the height of the inner cylinder is 28 cm.

[0017] In this application, during specific use, each sensor is connected in parallel to the breadboard through the port. The data lines connecting the ports are respectively connected to the weight sensors at each soil inter-row evaporation monitoring point. Finally, the soil evaporation data is transmitted to the signal receiver and the data acquisition control unit. The control chip integrates the soil evaporation data through the connecting wire and the breadboard. The solar panel and the battery supply power to the entire system;

[0018] After the bracket is erected on the soil surface, rotate the threaded rod. The threaded rod will rotate downward, driving the mounting rod to move. The frustum-shaped part at the bottom of the mounting rod presses against the consolidation plate on the side, thus pushing out the consolidation plate to increase the firmness with the soil.

[0019] In the present utility model, for the inter-tree evaporation monitoring device, the data collector connects the sensor data cable and the connecting cable through the port and the breadboard, so that the signal transmits the weight sensor data to the signal receiver and the data acquisition control chip through the data cable and the connecting cable. The data acquisition control chip directly converts the data of the change in the weight of the soil column into the inter-tree soil evaporation data according to the data.

[0020] In the present utility model, for the inter-tree evaporation monitoring device, through the fixing part, while the bracket is fixed in the original plug-in manner, by horizontally inserting the consolidation plate into the soil, the firmness with the soil can be increased, thereby increasing the firmness of the bracket.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] Referring to Figure 1-2 , an inter-row evaporation monitoring device, which is used in the agricultural field, includes: a sleeve 1, an inner cylinder 2, a weighing chassis 3, a weight sensor 4, a protective ring 5, a cable 6, a sensor data line 7, a data collector 8, a solar panel 9, a bracket 10, and a battery 11. Both the sleeve 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are stainless steel cylinders with open tops and sealed bottoms. A protective ring 5 is provided at the top of the inner cylinder wall and the inner side of the sleeve wall. The weight sensor 4 is horizontally located at the bottom inside the sleeve 1 through its weighing chassis 3. The inner cylinder 2 is located inside the sleeve 1 and above the weight sensor 4. The sensor data line 7 and the cable 6 are located in the gap between the inner cylinder 2 and the sleeve 1. One end of the sensor data line 7 and one end of the cable 6 are respectively connected to the weight sensor 4. The other end of the sensor data line 7 is connected to the data collector 8. The cable 6 extends out of the sleeve 1 and is connected to the battery 11. The weight sensor is waterproofed to prevent the weight sensor 4 from failing due to water ingress. After the system is powered on, the monitoring data of the weight sensor 4 is transmitted to the signal receiver 13 and the data acquisition control chip 22 through the sensor data line 7.

[0030] Referring to Figure 3 , the data collector is composed of a connecting wire 12, a signal receiver 13, a data acquisition control chip 22, a waterproof box 14, a port 15, and a breadboard 16. Each sensor is connected in parallel to the breadboard 16 through the port 15. The data lines connecting the ports are respectively connected to the weight sensors 4 at each soil inter-row evaporation monitoring point, and finally the soil evaporation data is transmitted to the signal receiver 13 and the data acquisition control chip 22. The signal receiver 13 and the data acquisition control chip 22 integrate the soil evaporation data through the connecting wire 12 and the breadboard 16. The solar panel 9 and the battery 11 supply power to the entire system.

[0031] The following is the specific usage method:

[0032] 1. The diameter of the sleeve is 30 cm and the height is 30 cm. When installing, first drive the sleeve into the soil, take out the soil sample in the barrel, and then bury the sleeve in the dug pit.

[0033] 2. The weight sensor adopts an aluminum alloy structure and is placed at the bottom of the sleeve. Use a level to adjust the guard plate above the weight sensor to a horizontal state and keep the weighing chassis horizontally placed;

[0034] 3. The inner cylinder has a diameter of 28 cm and a height of 28 cm. The inner cylinder is driven into the soil. Without disturbing the undisturbed soil, the inner cylinder containing the soil sample is placed into the sleeve, ensuring that the external horizontal ground and the soil in the inner cylinder are at the same horizontal plane. Then, the inner cylinder is placed on the weight sensor.

[0035] The transmission module of the data collector 8 is connected to the battery to enable the signal receiver 13 and the data acquisition control chip 22 to work. The data line of the weight sensor is connected to the port of the data acquisition transmission module. The sensor receives data, and the sensor data line and the connecting line are connected through the port and the breadboard. The signal is sent to the signal receiver 13 and the data acquisition control chip 22 through the data line and the connecting line, thereby directly converting the data of the change in the weight of the soil column into the soil evaporation data between plants.

[0036] Using the sensor to measure soil evaporation can achieve the real-time, automated, and continuous monitoring of evaporation; integrating sensors and adopting multi-port data reception and transmission to obtain real-time datasets of multiple evaporation monitoring nodes between plants in real time; the device is easy to operate and has a reasonable structural design, which can obtain real-time datasets of evaporation between plants in the orchard, making orchard management more automated and precise, reducing human errors and labor costs.

[0037] The soil evaporation between plants continuously measures the change in the weight of the soil column in the inner cylinder using a weight sensor, converts it into the evaporation amount of the soil, and directly displays and stores the evaporation amount data of the soil in the data collector, enabling orchard managers to intuitively view the monitoring data, analysis results, and recommended irrigation strategies, and improving the water resource utilization efficiency of the orchard.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figure 4 , on the basis of Example 1, it is improved as follows: A plurality of fixing parts are provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the bracket 10. The fixing parts include a mounting plate 17. One end of the mounting plate 17 is fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the bracket 10, and the other end is fixedly provided with a mounting cylinder 20. An installation rod 19 is arranged inside the mounting cylinder 20. The bottom end of the installation rod 19 is set to be frustum-shaped. A plurality of consolidation plates 21 are arranged inside the mounting cylinder 20. One end of the consolidation plate 21 slides through to the outside of the mounting cylinder 20. A threaded rod 18 is arranged at the top of the installation rod 19, and the top end of the threaded rod 18 is threadedly penetrated to the outside of the mounting cylinder 20.

[0040] Specifically, after the bracket 10 is erected on the soil surface, rotate the threaded rod 18. The threaded rod 18 will rotate downward, driving the mounting rod 19 to move. The frustum-shaped part at the bottom of the mounting rod 19 squeezes the consolidation plate 21 on the side, thereby pushing out the consolidation plate 21, so as to increase the firmness with the soil. While the bracket 10 was originally fixed by plugging, by horizontally inserting the consolidation plate 21 into the soil, the firmness with the soil is increased, thereby increasing the firmness of the bracket 10.

[0041] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
