[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment is a soil moisture monitoring and alarm device, comprising:

[0032] The monitoring instrument assembly includes a housing 11;

[0033] The support assembly includes a support column 21, a support ring 22, a support block 23, a through hole 24, a threaded column 25, a knob 26, a support rod 27, and a support disc 28. The support column 21 is fixedly connected to the lower periphery of the housing 11, the support ring 22 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the support column 21, the support block 23 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the support ring 22, the through hole 24 is opened in the center of the support block 23, the threaded column 25 is threadedly connected to the inside of the support block 23, the knob 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded column 25, the support rod 27 is fixedly connected to the upper periphery of the support ring 22, and the support disc 28 is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the support rod 27.

[0034] The support column 21 is used to support the support ring 22, the support ring 22 is used to support the support block 23 and the support rod 27, the support block 23 is used to support the threaded column 25, the through hole 24 is used to limit the threaded column 25, the threaded column 25 is used to limit the support block 23, the knob 26 is used to drive the threaded column 25 to rotate, the support rod 27 is used to support the support disc 28, and the support disc 28 is used to cover the top of the instrument panel 12.

[0035] The monitoring instrument assembly also includes an instrument panel 12, a monitoring probe 13, and a pointer 14. The instrument panel 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 11, the monitoring probe 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 11, and the pointer 14 is rotatably connected to the inside of the instrument panel 12.

[0036] The instrument panel 12 is used to store the pointer 14, the monitoring probe 13 is used to measure soil moisture, and the pointer 14 is used to display the soil moisture status.

[0037] The bottom ends of the supporting ring 22, the supporting block 23, and the housing 11 are flush, and the length of the threaded column 25 is less than the length of the monitoring probe 13.

[0038] When the monitoring probe 13 enters the soil, the bottom of the housing 11 comes into contact with the soil, and the bottom of the supporting ring 22 and the bottom of the supporting block 23 also come into contact with the soil.

[0039] The inner surface of the through hole 24 has a thread structure that is opposite to the outer surface of the threaded post 25, and the knob 26 is located above the through hole 24.

[0040] When the knob 26 is turned, the knob 26 drives the threaded post 25 to rotate, and the threaded post 25 moves up and down under the drive of the threaded structure.

[0041] The support disc 28 is located above the instrument panel 12, and the diameter of the support disc 28 is equal to the diameter of the instrument panel 12;

[0042] When the operator steps on the instrument panel 12, they will step directly on the upper part of the support disc 28 and will not come into contact with the instrument panel 12.

[0043] Working principle: When monitoring soil moisture using the monitoring instrument assembly, the monitoring probe 13 is inserted into the soil, and the bottom of the housing 11 is in contact with the soil. At this time, the bottom of the support ring 22 and the bottom of the support block 23 are also in contact with the soil. Then, the knob 26 is turned, which drives the threaded column 25 to rotate. The threaded column 25 moves downward into the soil under the drive of the threaded structure and is fixed inside the support block 23 under the limit of the threaded structure, so that the support block 23 and the support ring 22 remain fixed. When the operator steps on the instrument panel 12, the operator will step on the upper end of the support disc 28. The support disc 28 is supported by the support ring 22 and the support block 23 through the support rod 27, so that the support disc 28 will not tilt or move, thus preventing the instrument panel 12 from being stepped on.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Please see Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:

[0046] The warning assembly includes a fixing plate 31, a fixing rod 32, a pressure sensor 33, a telescopic spring 34, and a warning light 35. The fixing plate 31 is fixedly connected to the inside of the instrument panel 12, the fixing rod 32 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing plate 31, the pressure sensor 33 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing plate 31, one end of the telescopic spring 34 is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressure sensor 33, and the warning light 35 is fixedly connected to the outside of the instrument panel 12.

[0047] The fixing plate 31 is used to support the fixing rod 32 and the pressure sensor 33. The fixing rod 32 is used to support the telescopic spring 34. The pressure sensor 33 is used to measure the elastic force of the telescopic spring 34. The telescopic spring 34 is used to deform and generate elastic force under the action of the pointer 14. The warning light 35 is used to alarm the outside world.

[0048] The other end of the telescopic spring 34 is in contact with the outside of the pointer 14, and the telescopic spring 34 is wrapped around the outer surface of the fixed rod 32;

[0049] When pointer 14 rotates, pointer 14 will cause the telescopic spring 34 to compress and generate elastic force.

[0050] The fixing rod 32 has an arc-shaped structure. The pressure sensor 33 is electrically connected to the warning light 35 through a circuit, and the pressure sensor 33 is sleeved on the outer surface of one end of the fixing rod 32.

[0051] When the pressure sensor 33 detects that the extension spring 34 is compressed and generates elastic force, the pressure sensor 33 controls the warning light 35 on the same side as the extension spring 34 to work.

[0052] Working principle: When the monitoring probe 13 detects an abnormality in the moisture inside the soil, the monitoring probe 13 controls the pointer 14 to rotate. The rotation of the pointer 14 causes the telescopic spring 34 to be compressed. The compressed telescopic spring 34 generates elastic force. At this time, the pressure sensor 33 measures the elastic force generated by the telescopic spring 34 and controls the warning light 35 on the same side as the telescopic spring 34 to work, so as to alarm the outside world without having to observe the position of the pointer 14 at close range.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
