[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the soil moisture meter is placed in the inner cavity of the installation frame, and the handle is rotated to drive the threaded rod to rotate, so that the clamping plate can be driven to move horizontally under the action of the threaded tube, and then the position of the soil moisture meter can be squeezed and fixed under the action of the clamping plate and the installation frame, so that the soil moisture meter can be installed quickly and conveniently.

A sliding frame 12 movably sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting plate 11 is fixed to one end of the mounting horizontal plate 13, and a mounting frame 15 is fixed to the other end of the mounting horizontal plate 13. The upper and lower ends of the mounting frame 15 are set to be open, and a soil moisture meter 16 is detachably installed in the mounting frame 15.

[0029] Place the soil moisture meter 16 into the inner cavity of the installation frame 15, pour an appropriate amount of attapulgite into the inner cavity of the measurement frame 5 through the opening at the top of the measurement frame 5, and synchronously start multiple groups of second cylinders 14 to extend and drive the installation cross plate 13 to move downward, thereby driving the installation frame 15 and the soil moisture meter 16 to move downward synchronously until the probe at the bottom of the soil moisture meter 16 is immersed in the appropriate depth inside the attapulgite in the inner cavity of the measurement frame 5, so as to use the soil moisture meter 16 to quickly measure the moisture inside the attapulgite.

[0030] Please refer to the attached figure in the instruction manual Figure 1 and 2 A sieve frame 1 is detachably provided on the top wall of the measuring frame 5. The upper and lower ends of the sieve frame 1 are set to be open. A sieve 3 is installed at the lower end of the inner cavity of the sieve frame 1. The longitudinal section of the sieve 3 is set to be arc-shaped, and the opening direction of the arc structure is upward.

[0031] Please refer to the attached figure in the instruction manual Figure 1 The outer walls of the sieve frame 1 are all equipped with limiting components, which include a limiting rod 2. The limiting rod 2 is fixed at the middle position of the outer wall of the sieve frame 1. The longitudinal section of the limiting rod 2 is set to be L-shaped. The top position of the outer wall of the measuring frame 5 is fixed with a limiting tube 4 designed to engage with the limiting rod 2, and the top position of the limiting tube 4 is set to be open.

Start the first cylinder 10 to periodically expand and contract, so as to drive the measuring frame 5 and the screen frame 1 to move horizontally synchronously. Under the action of the screen 3, it is convenient to screen and remove the hard blocks mixed in the attapulgite. Then move the screen frame 1 upward to separate it from the measuring frame 5 to avoid the hard blocks from colliding with the probe on the soil moisture meter 16.

[0033] Please refer to the attached figure in the instruction manual Figure 1 and 3 A threaded assembly is mounted on the outer wall of one side of the mounting frame 15. The threaded assembly includes a threaded tube 17, which is fixedly embedded in the middle of the outer wall of the mounting frame 15. A threaded rod 19 is threadedly passed through the inner cavity of the threaded tube 17. A handle 18 is fixed to one end of the threaded rod 19. The other end of the threaded rod 19 is rotatably connected to a clamping plate 20 that contacts the outer wall of the soil moisture meter 16 through a bearing.

[0034] Place the soil moisture meter 16 into the inner cavity of the mounting frame 15, and rotate the handle 18 to drive the threaded rod 19 to rotate, so that the clamping plate 20 can be driven to move horizontally under the action of the threaded tube 17. Then, the position of the soil moisture meter 16 can be squeezed and fixed under the action of the clamping plate 20 and the mounting frame 15, which facilitates and quickly installs the soil moisture meter 16. Similarly, if the soil moisture meter 16 needs to be disassembled, just rotate the handle 18 in the opposite direction to separate the clamping plate 20 from the soil moisture meter 16.

[0035] Please refer to the attached figure in the instruction manual Figure 1 A discharge pipe 7 is fixed at the middle position of the bottom wall of the measuring frame 5, and a control valve is installed on the outside of the discharge pipe 7. Opening the control valve on the discharge pipe 7 allows the attapulgite in the inner cavity of the measuring frame 5 to be discharged.

[0036] Please refer to the attached figure in the instruction manual Figure 1 , multiple sets of support legs 6 are installed around the bottom wall of the measuring frame 5, and the bottom ends of the multiple sets of support legs 6 are fixed with moving wheels 8 that are in contact with the top wall of the base 9. When the measuring frame 5 moves horizontally, it can drive the multiple sets of support legs 6 and the moving wheels 8 to move synchronously on the top wall of the base 9, thereby conveniently supporting the measuring frame 5 and the sieve frame 1.

[0037] Working principle: When using the attapulgite soil moisture rapid tester, place the base 9 on the ground, put the soil moisture meter 16 into the inner cavity of the mounting frame 15, and screw the handle 18 to drive the threaded rod 19 to rotate, so that under the action of the threaded tube 17, the clamping plate 20 can be driven to move horizontally, and then the position of the soil moisture meter 16 can be squeezed and fixed under the action of the clamping plate 20 and the mounting frame 15, which is convenient for quick installation of the soil moisture meter 16. Similarly, if the soil moisture meter 16 needs to be disassembled, just screw the handle 18 in the opposite direction to drive the clamping plate 20 and the soil moisture meter 16 to separate.

[0038] An appropriate amount of attapulgite is poured into the inner cavity of the measuring frame 5 through the opening at the top of the measuring frame 5, and multiple groups of second cylinders 14 are started simultaneously to extend and drive the mounting cross plate 13 to move downward, thereby driving the mounting frame 15 and the soil moisture meter 16 to move downward synchronously, until the probe at the bottom of the soil moisture meter 16 is immersed in the appropriate depth inside the attapulgite in the inner cavity of the measuring frame 5, so as to use the soil moisture meter 16 to quickly measure the moisture inside the attapulgite. When the mounting cross plate 13 moves up and down, it can drive the sliding frame 12 to slide synchronously on the outer wall of the mounting plate 11, so as to conveniently limit the moving path of the mounting cross plate 13, the mounting frame 15 and the soil moisture meter 16.

[0039] When there are hard blocks mixed inside the attapulgite, the screen frame 1 is placed from top to bottom on the top wall of the measuring frame 5, so that multiple sets of limit rods 2 are inserted into the inner cavity of the limit tube 4 at the corresponding position, and an appropriate amount of attapulgite is poured into the inner cavity of the screen frame 1 through the top opening of the screen frame 1. The first cylinder 10 is started to periodically expand and contract, thereby driving the measuring frame 5 and the screen frame 1 to move horizontally synchronously. Under the action of the screen 3, the hard blocks mixed inside the attapulgite are conveniently screened and removed. Then the screen frame 1 is moved upward to separate it from the measuring frame 5 to avoid the hard blocks from colliding with the probe on the soil moisture meter 16.

[0040] When the moisture content of the attapulgite inside the measuring frame 5 is determined, the control valve on the discharge pipe 7 is opened to allow the attapulgite in the inner cavity of the measuring frame 5 to be discharged. When the measuring frame 5 moves horizontally, it can drive multiple sets of supporting legs 6 and moving wheels 8 to move synchronously on the top wall of the base 9, thereby facilitating the support of the measuring frame 5 and the screen frame 1.
