[0031] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings, wherein, the drawings constitute a part of this application, and together with the embodiments of the utility model for explaining the principle of the utility model, not for limiting the scope of the utility model.
[0032] A kind of soil observation micro scale in the embodiment, it is related to soil sampling analysis technical field, by being equipped with the observation groove 110 with scale in the middle part of feet body 100, can be observed and analyzed to the protruding structure to be observed.At the same time, using fixed hole 310 can be fixed in soil section on feet body 100, without other personnel assistance, the fixation and shooting of feet body 100 can be completed.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 A kind of soil observation micro scale in the embodiment, it includes: feet body 100, marking assembly 200 and fixed assembly 300, feet body 100 can adapt to protruding structure to be observed, expand the use range of feet body 100.Mark 200 can accurately measure the length of the structure to be observed.Fixed assembly 300 can assist feet body 100 and soil section fixed.
[0034] The middle part of feet body 100 is equipped with observation groove, observation groove is set through feet body 100, and the coarse structure, irregular structure or intrusive body in soil section can be relatively external protruding through observation groove, under the premise that feet body 100 whole is adhered to soil section, protruding structure is effectively observed and analyzed.
[0035] The marking assembly 200 includes a first scale 210 and a second scale 220 for measuring length. The first scale 210 is arranged on both sides of the ruler body 100, and can be used to measure the length of a common structure outside the ruler body 100. The second scale 220 is arranged on the edge of the ruler body 100 relative to the observation groove 110, and can be used to measure the length of a protruding structure inside the observation groove 110.
[0036] The fixing assembly 300 includes at least two fixing holes 310 arranged at one end of the ruler body 100. A fixing member (such as a long nail, a thumbtack, or a toothpick) outside the ruler body 100 passes through the fixing hole 310 and is inserted into the soil, thereby achieving relative fixation of the ruler body 100 and the soil, avoiding relative movement of the ruler body 100 during shooting, and interfering with detection of the structure to be detected on the vertical section of the soil. The fixation of the ruler body 100 can be completed without the assistance of multiple people, simplifying the soil observation process and improving the detection efficiency.
[0037] It should be noted that the length of the observation groove 110 is 50 mm, and the width is 5 mm, which can be matched with the size of the existing ruler body 100, facilitating the opening of the observation groove 110 of the corresponding size in the middle of the ruler body 100.
[0038] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 3 The end of the observation groove 110 is tapered from the inside, forming a necked portion 111. By inserting the fixing member into the observation groove 110, the fixing member can cooperate with the necked portion 111, and the ruler body 100 can be clamped in the necked portion 111 under the action of gravity, so that the ruler body 100 is relatively vertically arranged. When the ruler body 100 is stably and vertically arranged, the ruler body 100 directly aligns with the vertical section of the soil, and especially when observing the deposition structure of the soil, the distribution of different levels, the particle structure, the pore, and other micro changes can be clearly seen. This vertical observation method is crucial for analyzing the stratification structure of the soil, the deposition process, and its characteristics.
[0039] In the specific implementation process, the necked portion 111 is circular arc-shaped or conical, and the closed portion of the circular arc-shaped or conical shape forms a contraction structure, which can better cooperate with other fixing members (long nails, thumbtacks, or toothpicks, etc.), realize self-positioning calibration, and make the ruler body 100 relatively vertically arranged.
[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 6The fixing assembly 300 further comprises a buckle unit 320, which comprises a male buckle 321 and a female buckle 321 arranged at the two ends of the ruler body 100 respectively. The arrangement of the male buckle 321 and the female buckle 321 can firmly connect the two ends of the ruler body 100 together, ensuring the overall stability of the ruler body 100 during use. The plug-in structure of the male buckle 321 and the female buckle 321 enables the ruler body 100 to maintain a tight and stable state when observing the soil profile, preventing the ruler body 100 from loosening or falling off due to external forces (such as vibration, wind, etc.).
[0041] The buckle unit 320 simplifies the assembly and disassembly process of the ruler body 100 through the plug-in method of the male buckle 321 and the female buckle 321. The operator only needs to easily insert the male buckle 321 into the female buckle 321 to achieve stable connection of the ruler body 100, which does not require excessive complex operations, reducing the consumption of time and energy.
[0042] Because the male buckle 321 and the female buckle 321 are designed to be movable and plug-in, the opposite ends of the two ruler bodies 100 can be adjusted and fixed as needed, allowing different ruler bodies 100 to be connected, thereby adapting to different depths and lengths of soil profile observation, providing more flexibility. Especially when facing irregular or asymmetric soil sections, the operator can adjust the length of the ruler body 100 to ensure good contact between the ruler body 100 and the soil profile.
[0043] In specific implementation, the male buckle 321 protrudes relative to the front face of the ruler body 100, forming a first protruding part. The female buckle 321 protrudes relative to the back face of the ruler body 100, forming a second protruding part. The middle part of the second protruding part is relatively recessed to form a plug-in hole, and the first protruding part is movably plugged into the plug-in hole. The depth of the plug-in hole is less than the height of the second protruding part, and the plug-in hole is independently arranged relative to the ruler body 100 without invading the ruler body 100. Compared with the traditional arrangement of opening the female buckle 321 in the ruler body 100, it does not damage the structural strength of the ruler body 100, ensuring the structural stability of the ruler body 100.
[0044] In some embodiments, the buckle unit 320 is provided with at least two groups, which can make both ends of the ruler body 100 more evenly fixed, improving the stability of the entire ruler body 100. When both ends of the ruler body 100 are connected by the buckle unit 320, not only can it avoid the displacement or loosening of the ruler body 100 due to the instability of a single buckle unit 320, but also can provide stronger fixing force, so that the ruler body 100 is more firmly kept in front of the soil profile for observation and measurement. The arrangement of the double buckle unit 320 can effectively reduce the displacement of the ruler body 100 caused by external forces (such as wind, vibration, improper operation, etc.), ensuring that the ruler body 100 always maintains the correct position, avoiding observation errors caused by instability, and is particularly suitable for high-precision soil microstructure analysis.
[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The fixing hole 310 is formed in the male buckle 321 and in the first protrusion. The first protrusion is integrally connected to the ruler body 100, which can form a relatively solid support for the fixing hole 310, preventing the fixing hole 310 from deforming or being damaged due to long-term use or excessive force. Since the first protrusion is integrally connected to the ruler body 100, the pressure applied to the fixing hole 310 can be effectively distributed, making the connection point more secure, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the insert (such as a nail, thumbtack, or toothpick) and the ruler body 100.
[0046] The load-bearing capacity of the fixing hole 310 is enhanced, and the ruler 100 can remain stable even under the action of large external forces applied by the soil profile or the external environment, avoiding measurement errors or tilting of the ruler 100 caused by loose insertion.
[0047] It should be noted that the diameter of the fixing hole 310 is 1mm-3mm, and the size of the fixing hole 310 can be matched with the insert (such as nail, thumbtack or toothpick).
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first scale 210 has different colors. Different colored scales help operators to more easily distinguish the position of each scale, especially in complex soil profile observation. The color distinction can help to quickly locate specific scale values, enabling operators to read and record soil microstructure data more accurately and avoid misreading or wrong judgment caused by similar scales or visual fatigue.
[0049] In practice, the first scale 210 can be red, blue, black or green.
[0050] The first scale 210 offers different units (such as millimeters, centimeters, and inches) so that the tool can be selected according to the user's needs or specific measurement tasks. Soil scientists or researchers in different regions and fields may be more accustomed to a particular unit system, and providing multiple unit options can improve the applicability of the tool.
[0051] Whether using metric units (millimeters, centimeters) or imperial units (inches), the tool can meet the needs of different user groups, thereby avoiding inconvenience and misunderstanding caused by unit conversion issues and improving the convenience of cross-regional and cross-domain applications.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first scale 210 is respectively set on the front and back of the ruler 100. When the first scale 210 is set on the front and back of the ruler 100, the user can choose the most convenient angle to read the value when performing soil profile measurement. The scale value can be directly viewed from either the front or back of the ruler 100.
[0053] In practice, the second graduation 220 is a graduation mark in 2mm units, which can facilitate the measurement of soil microstructures such as fine stripes.
[0054] Workflow: First, dig a vertical or horizontal section in the soil to be observed. Then, place the ruler 100 on the section and ensure it fits snugly. Use a fastener to pass through the fixing hole 310 and insert it into the soil to secure the ruler 100. Finally, observe and photograph the soil structure to perform observation and analysis.
[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the present utility model.
