Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of soil monitoring, in particular to an irrigation control device based on soil moisture monitoring. Background Art

[0002] Soil moisture, or soil water content, is an important indicator affecting crop growth and development and the severity of regional drought. Due to differences in regional topography, soil physical and chemical properties, meteorological factors, and other factors, regional soil moisture distribution is also extremely uneven. Timely grasp of dynamic information on regional soil moisture is of great significance for improving drought management, scientifically guiding drought relief, preventing and mitigating drought disasters and the losses they cause, ensuring domestic water supply, ecological water supply, and scientific utilization of water resources. Soil moisture monitoring devices are soil moisture sensors. Most soil moisture sensors insert the soil moisture sensor into the soil and use the moisture content in the soil to control the resistance between the sensor probes, causing the voltage of the sensor to change, thereby being able to judge the soil moisture. Finally, the device transmits the measured results to the control module through its internal wireless transmission module. The control module can determine whether the soil in the area needs irrigation based on the results. Therefore, the demand for an irrigation control device based on soil moisture monitoring is growing.

[0003] At present, the general soil moisture sensor on the market needs to be placed under the ground surface, but the general soil moisture sensor needs to be placed underground through an external drilling tool.

[0026] When the present application is used, as a fixed-point monitoring point for soil moisture, it can be set up in multiple locations to monitor the soil moisture in a timely manner. During the setting, the monitoring column 1 is placed in a suitable monitoring position, and the monitoring column 1 is fixed and stabilized by the stabilizing component 5.

The controller 3 includes a signal transmitter that can transmit the signal to the terminal and control irrigation through the terminal. The lifting column 7 is lifted and lowered by the lifting component 6, which is convenient for detecting soil at different depths. During the detection process, the device is stabilized by the stabilizing component 5 to ensure the smooth progress of the detection process. External monitoring personnel can observe the monitoring depth of the soil in real time through the visual component 9, and it is convenient to record and feedback in time. The solar panel 4 is charged by the voltage stabilizer, which can save electricity resources. The soil moisture sensor 2, the controller 3 and the solar panel 4 are all common technical means in the field of this technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Specifically, the lifting assembly 6 includes a drive motor 61, a threaded rod 62, a slider 63 and a slide 64. The drive motor 61 is fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting slot 14.

The slider 1 63 and the slide 1 64 play a role in limiting and guiding the lifting column 7, preventing the lifting column 7 from deflecting and detaching.

By comparing the scale line 92 and the comparison arrow 93, the detection depth of the detection head of the soil moisture sensor 2 can be effectively known, which is convenient for height adjustment and people's recording of soil nutrients.

[0032] By configuring the stabilizing plate 51, the stabilizing column 52, the positioning groove 53, the positioning column 54, the second slider 55, and the second slide groove 56, the stabilizing column 52 can be driven into the soil to stabilize and fix the base 11. When the stabilizing column 52 is fixed in the soil, the positioning column 54 can be controlled by the control component 10 to control the extension or contraction of the positioning column 54. The positioning column 54 extends into the soil, which can further increase the stability of the base 11 and prevent the lifting column 7 from driving the stabilizing column 52 during the lifting activity, thereby causing instability of the device.

The transmission rod 2 104 is arranged at the upper end of the transmission cavity 102. The bevel gear 2 105 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the transmission rod 2 104. The bevel gear 2 105 is meshed with the bevel gear 103. The upper end of the transmission rod 2 104 passes through the stabilizing plate 51 and is fixedly installed with the control plate 106.

[0034] Through the arrangement of the transmission rod 101, the transmission cavity 102, the bevel gear 103, the transmission rod 104, the bevel gear 105 and the control plate 106, when the positioning column 54 needs to be extended or retracted, the control plate 106 can be used for unified control. By rotating the control plate 106, the transmission rod 104 is driven to rotate, and the transmission of the bevel gear 105 and the bevel gear 103 drives the transmission rod 101 to rotate, thereby extending or retracting the threaded positioning column 54.

[0035] Specifically, the control panel 106 includes a screw plate 1061, a placement slot 1062, and a screw handle 1063. The screw plate 1061 is embedded in the stabilizing plate 51. The placement slot 1062 is provided at the upper end of the screw plate 1061. The screw handle 1063 is movably mounted in the placement slot 1062.

[0036] By means of the screwing plate 1061, the placement groove 1062 and the screwing handle 1063, the screwing plate 1061 is embedded in the stabilizing plate 51 and is rotated by means of the screwing handle 1063.

[0037] Working principle: When the present application is used, it can be set up in multiple places as a fixed-point monitoring point of soil moisture, and the soil moisture condition can be monitored in time. When setting, the monitoring column 1 is placed in a suitable monitoring position, and the monitoring column 1 is fixed and stabilized by the stabilizing component 5. The soil moisture condition is detected by the soil moisture sensor 2. During the monitoring process, the soil is detected by the soil moisture sensor 2 detection head on the bottom side wall of the lifting column 7, and the detection result is transmitted to the controller 3. The controller 3 includes a signal transmitter, which can transmit the signal to the terminal and control irrigation through the terminal. The lifting column 7 is lifted and lowered by the lifting component 6, which is convenient for realizing soil detection at different depths. During the detection process, the device is stabilized by the stabilizing component 5 to ensure the smooth progress of the detection process, and it is convenient for timely recording and feedback. The solar panel 4 is charged by the voltage stabilizer, which can save electricity resources. The soil moisture sensor 2, the controller 3 and the solar panel 4 are all common technical means in this technical field, and will not be described in detail here.

[0038] The driving motor 61 drives the threaded rod 62 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting column 7 to move up and down, thereby facilitating the detection of soil moisture conditions by the soil moisture sensor 2 when the roots are deep in the soil, and facilitating timely adjustment at different depths. The slider 1 63 and the slide 1 64 play a role in limiting and guiding the lifting column 7, preventing the lifting column 7 from deflecting and detaching.
