[0029] Please also refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 The soil column experimental device provided by the present invention is now described. The soil column experimental device comprises a soil column tube 1 and a limiting ring 2. The soil column tube 1 is vertically arranged, the upper end of the soil column tube 1 is an open end, and a plurality of leakage holes 11 are provided on the bottom wall of the soil column tube 1. The limiting ring 2 is coaxially arranged in the soil column tube 1 and is circumferentially fixed to the inner side surface of the soil column tube 1, and there is a gap between the limiting ring 2 and the top surface of the soil column tube 1.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the soil column experimental device provided by the present invention forms a soil column by filling a soil sample into the soil column tube 1 through the upper end of the soil column tube 1. The height of the soil sample in the soil column tube 1 is lower than the limiting ring 2. In this way, ultrapure water can be added to the soil column tube 1 through the upper end of the soil column tube 1. Liquid formed after the ultrapure water permeates the soil sample falls through the leakage hole 11. The liquid falling through the leakage hole 11 is collected and analyzed, thereby completing the leaching experiment. A sponge can also be inserted into the soil column tube 1, the sponge covering the limiting ring 2, and another sponge covering the upper end surface of the soil column tube 1. Both sponges contain a solution capable of absorbing ammonia. The sponge on the limiting ring 2 is used to absorb ammonia volatilized from the soil sample. The sponge on the soil column tube 1 can prevent ammonia in the outside air from being absorbed by the sponge on the limiting ring 2. After a period of time, the sponge on the limiting ring 2 is removed from the soil column tube 1 and analyzed, thereby completing the ammonia volatilization measurement. In summary, this experimental device can carry out leaching experiments and ammonia volatilization measurements, thus avoiding the problem of the existing soil column experimental device having relatively single functions.

[0031] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The soil column experimental device further includes a supporting tube 3. The supporting tube 3 is coaxially arranged with the soil column tube 1 and is used to support the soil column tube 1. By supporting the soil column tube 1 with the supporting tube 3, the liquid falling from the leakage hole 11 can fall into the supporting tube 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the supporting tube 3 is equal to the inner diameter of the soil column 1 , and the outer diameter of the supporting tube 3 is equal to the outer diameter of the soil column 1 .

[0033] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The soil column experimental apparatus also includes a partition plate 4. The partition plate 4 is located within the support tube 3 and is circumferentially secured to the inner side of the support tube 3, thereby separating the support tube 3 from a collection space 31 located above the partition plate 4. The collection space 31 collects liquid that falls from the leakage hole 11.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 6 The soil column experimental device also includes multiple stoppers 5. These stoppers 5 are evenly distributed around the support tube 3 and are fixedly connected to the support tube 3. The stoppers 5 slide in contact with the outer surface of the soil column 1. The multiple stoppers 5 restrain the soil column 1, preventing it from falling off the support tube 3. Once the soil column 1 slides free of the stoppers 5, the collection space 31 can be easily cleaned.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The soil column experimental apparatus also includes a water outlet pipe 6. This pipe is located below the partition plate 4. One end of the pipe is fixedly connected to the partition plate 4 and communicates with the collection space 31. The pipe penetrates the support tube 3, with the other end of the pipe located outside the support tube 3. Liquid in the collection space 31 flows into the pipe 6 and then out of the end of the pipe located outside the support tube 3. A container, such as a bottle, can be placed at the end of the pipe located outside the support tube 3 to collect the liquid flowing out of the pipe 6.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7 The soil column experimental device also includes a covering tube 7, an exhaust pipe 8 and a connecting valve 9. The lower end of the covering tube 7 is an open end, and the covering tube 7 is slidably mounted on the outside of the upper end of the soil column tube 1 through the lower end of the covering tube 7. One end of the exhaust pipe 8 is located inside the covering tube 7, and the middle part of the exhaust pipe 8 penetrates the top wall of the covering tube 7 and is fixedly connected to the top wall of the covering tube 7. The connecting valve 9 is connected to the end of the exhaust pipe 8 located outside the covering tube 7. When the covering tube 7 slides out of the soil column tube 1, leaching experiments and ammonia volatilization measurements can be carried out. When a soil sample is placed in the soil column tube 1 and the covering tube 7 is slidably mounted outside the soil column tube 1, the gas in the space enclosed by the soil column tube 1 and the covering tube 7 can be extracted through the connecting valve 9, and then the extracted gas can be detected to measure the greenhouse gases volatilized from the soil, and then complete the greenhouse gas measurement, thereby further increasing the function of the device.

[0037] In this embodiment, the exhaust pipe 8 can be fixedly connected to the top wall of the capping cylinder 7 by glue, so that the seal between the exhaust pipe 8 and the top wall of the capping cylinder 7 can also be ensured.

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The soil column experimental device also includes a sealing groove 10. The notch of the sealing groove 10 faces upward, and the bottom wall of the sealing groove 10 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the soil column tube 1. The bottom wall of the sealing groove 10 is used to support the capping tube 7. Water is added to the sealing groove 10 to form a water seal, thereby ensuring the seal between the capping tube 7 and the soil column tube 1.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 7, the connecting valve 9 adopts a three-way valve, and one of the branches of the connecting valve 9 is connected to the end of the exhaust pipe 8 located outside the sealing tube 7. In this embodiment, the branch of the connecting valve 9 used to communicate with the exhaust pipe 8 is the first branch 91, and the other two branches of the connecting valve 9 are the second branches 92. The two second branches 92 are respectively used to connect with the two exhaust components. When in use, first, the first branch 91 is connected to one of the second branches 92, and the exhaust component connected to the second branch 92 is used to extract the original gas in the exhaust pipe 8; then the first branch 91 is connected to the other second branch 92, and then the exhaust component connected to the second branch 92 extracts the gas, and the extracted gas is subjected to greenhouse gas measurement. In this way, it is possible to avoid the original gas in the exhaust pipe 8 affecting the accuracy of the greenhouse gas measurement.

[0040] Furthermore, the gas extraction component can be a syringe. During the entire greenhouse gas measurement cycle, the gas is collected every 10 minutes, for a total of 5 times.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 7 When measuring greenhouse gases, it is also necessary to know the ambient temperature of the soil sample. The soil column experimental device also includes a temperature sensor 110. The temperature sensor 110 includes a temperature sensing element 1101, a display 1102 and a wiring harness 1103. The temperature sensing element 1101 is located inside the capping tube 7, the display 1102 is located outside the capping tube 7 and is fixedly connected to the capping tube 7, the wiring harness 1103 penetrates the capping tube 7 and is fixedly connected to the capping tube 7, and the two ends of the wiring harness 1103 are electrically connected to the temperature sensing element 1101 and the display 1102 respectively. The temperature sensing element 1101 senses the temperature in the space enclosed by the capping tube 7 and the soil column tube 1, and transmits the temperature value to the display 1102 through the wiring harness 1103. The operator knows the ambient temperature of the soil sample through the display 1102. In this embodiment, the wiring harness 1103 can penetrate the top wall of the capping tube 7 and be fixedly connected to the top wall of the capping tube 7.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7The soil column experimental device also includes a disturbance fan 120. The fan body 1201 of the disturbance fan 120 is located in the covering tube 7, and the power cord 1202 in the disturbance fan 120 penetrates the covering tube 7 and is fixedly connected to the covering tube 7. The power cord 1202 is electrically connected to the external power supply. After the disturbance fan 120 is started, the original gas in the space enclosed by the covering tube 7 and the soil column tube 1 can be evenly mixed with the gas volatilized by the soil sample, so that the accuracy of greenhouse gas measurement can be increased. In this embodiment, the power cord 1202 can penetrate the top wall of the covering tube 7 and be fixedly connected to the top wall of the covering tube 7. The fan body 1201 can also be fixedly connected to the top wall of the covering tube 7.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
