Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of soil moisture monitoring equipment, specifically a portable, self-cleaning soil moisture monitoring instrument for irrigation areas. Background Technology

[0002] Existing soil moisture meters are mainly used to measure soil moisture content, typically employing tubular sensors inserted into the soil for data acquisition. However, traditionally designed soil moisture meters have revealed several significant shortcomings in practical applications, specifically: Difficulty in drilling: Different types and hardnesses of soil create considerable resistance to the insertion of traditional tubular soil moisture meters. Especially in hard or dense soil layers, the insertion process is laborious, increasing operational difficulty and potentially affecting instrument stability and measurement accuracy. Difficulty in cleaning: Soil has strong adhesion, especially when soil moisture content is high, causing traditional tubular sensors to easily accumulate soil or mud on the surface. These deposits not only make the instrument surface dirty and cumbersome to clean, but if not cleaned promptly, long-term accumulation of mud may affect measurement results or even damage the instrument. Prone to tilting or collapse: In soft or loose soil, traditional tubular soil moisture meters, lacking sufficient support, are prone to tilting or collapse. Especially when performing multiple measurements, the poor stability of the instrument directly affects the accuracy of the measurement data, leading to unreliable measurement results.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies suffer from problems such as difficulty in drilling and cleaning, as well as poor instrument stability, and there is an urgent need for an improved soil moisture monitoring instrument to improve its efficiency and accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a portable adaptive cleaning soil moisture detector for irrigation areas, including a detection main tube and two rotating support columns;

[0005] The detection main tube is provided with a detection cavity for accommodating the detection sensor, and a drill bit is provided at the lower end of the detection main tube for inserting into the soil to be tested.

[0006] The top of the detection tube is provided with a fixing sleeve, which is fitted onto the outer wall of the detection tube. Two oppositely arranged connecting plates are fixedly provided on the outside of the fixing sleeve.

[0007] Each connecting plate is connected to a rotating connecting seat assembly. One end of the rotating support column is a rotating connecting end and the other end is a pointed end. The rotating connecting end of the rotating support column is rotatably connected to the connecting plate through the rotating connecting seat assembly. The pointed end of the rotating support column is inserted into the soil to support the detection main tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the axes of the two rotating support columns are on the same plane as the axis of the detection main tube.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the detection tube is provided with two vertical sliding grooves, and the inner wall of the fixing sleeve is provided with two limiting protrusions. The two limiting protrusions are respectively aligned with the two vertical sliding grooves, and the limiting protrusions are used to be engaged in the vertical sliding grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the detection tube is also provided with an annular groove perpendicular to the vertical slide groove.

[0011] Furthermore, all of the rotating support columns are multi-section telescopic rod structures.

[0012] Furthermore, each rotating connecting seat assembly includes two connecting seats and a rotating sleeve. Rotating shafts are fixed on both sides of the rotating sleeve. The rotating sleeve is fixedly sleeved on the end of the rotating support column. The connecting seats are fixed on the connecting plate. Each connecting seat is provided with a rotating mounting hole. The two rotating shafts are respectively rotatably disposed in the rotating mounting hole.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the connecting seats is also provided with a fastening hole, in which a fastener is provided, the end of which extends into the rotating mounting hole and fixes the rotating shaft.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present invention relates to a portable adaptive cleaning soil moisture detector for irrigation areas, comprising a detection main tube 1 and two rotating support columns 6.

[0029] The detection main tube 1 is a hollow cylindrical tube with a detection cavity inside. A drill head 2 is located at the lower end of the detection main tube 1. In this embodiment, the drill head 2 is a conical head, used to insert into the soil to be tested. The detection cavity accommodates a detection sensor, which can be of various types. The detection sensor is fixed inside the detection cavity, and some or all of its probes penetrate the side wall of the detection main tube 1 to contact the soil being tested, thereby indicating soil moisture. The detection probes are typically flush with the outer wall of the detection main tube 1. The installation structure and working principle of the detection probes are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] The top of the detection tube 1 is provided with a fixing sleeve 4, which is fitted onto the outer wall of the detection tube 1. Two opposing connecting plates 41 are fixedly provided on the outside of the fixing sleeve 4. The connecting plates 41 and the fixing sleeve 4 are an integrated structure. The fixing sleeve 4 can also slide along the axial direction of the detection tube 1.

[0031] Each connecting plate 41 is connected to a rotating connecting seat assembly. One end of the rotating support column 6 is a rotating connecting end, and the other end is a pointed end. The rotating connecting end of the rotating support column 6 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 41 via the rotating connecting seat assembly. The pointed end of the rotating support column 6 is inserted into the soil to support the main detection tube 1. Furthermore, during rotation, the axes of the two rotating support columns 6 are on the same plane as the axis of the main detection tube 1.

[0032] In the above structure, when the rotating support column 6 rotates to a horizontal state (refer to...) Figure 1 The two rotating support columns 6 can act as pressing handles, allowing operators to easily hold the rotating support columns 6 to press the main testing tube 1 into the soil to be tested. This overcomes the resistance caused by different soil hardness, reduces the difficulty of the drilling process, and thus improves work efficiency. After the main testing tube 1 is inserted into the soil, the rotating support columns 6 can be adjusted to a tilted position relative to the main testing tube 1, and the lower end of the rotating support columns 6 can be inserted into the soil to support the main testing tube 1, improving the stability of the entire instrument in soft or loose soil, preventing the instrument from tilting or collapsing, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the measurement data. Furthermore, the fixing sleeve 4 can slide along the axial direction of the main testing tube 1, allowing the end of the fixing sleeve 4 to easily remove soil adhering to the surface of the tube, avoiding the influence of soil accumulation on the measurement results, extending the service life of the instrument, and improving the detection accuracy.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the detection main tube 1 is provided with an annular groove 31 and two vertical sliding grooves 3. The vertical sliding grooves 3 are parallel to the axis of the detection main tube 1, and the annular groove 31 is perpendicular to the vertical sliding grooves 3. The vertical sliding grooves 3 and the annular grooves 31 have overlapping portions. The inner wall of the fixing sleeve 4 is provided with two limiting protrusions 5, which are respectively aligned with the two vertical sliding grooves 3. The limiting protrusions 5 are used to engage with the vertical sliding grooves 3 or the annular grooves 31. When the limiting protrusions 5 are limited to the annular grooves 31, the fixing sleeve 4 and the detection main tube 1 cannot slide axially. This allows for easy rotation of the support column 6 as a pressing handle to press the detection main tube into the soil. When the limiting protrusions 5 are limited to the vertical sliding grooves 3, the fixing sleeve 4 can slide axially along the detection main tube 1, which allows for quick cleaning of the soil adhering to the outer wall of the detection main tube 1.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating support column 6 is a multi-section telescopic rod 7 structure, that is, the rotating support includes multiple telescopic rods 7 of different thicknesses nested in sequence, wherein the end of the telescopic rod 7 at the bottom is a pointed structure, which can improve its portability and facilitate the insertion of the rotating support column 6 into the soil to support the detection main tube 1.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, each rotating connecting seat assembly includes two connecting seats 8 and a rotating sleeve 81. The connecting seats 8 are mounted on the connecting plate 41 by mounting screws (not shown in the figure). Rotating shafts 82 are fixed on both sides of the rotating sleeve 81. The rotating sleeve 81 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the rotating support column 6. The connecting seats 8 are fixed on the connecting plate 41. Each connecting seat 8 is provided with a rotating mounting hole. The two rotating shafts 82 are respectively rotatably disposed in the rotating mounting holes, so that the connecting seat 8 can be rotatably connected to the fixed sleeve 4.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, each of the connecting seats 8 is further provided with a fastening hole, in which a fastener is provided. The end of the fastener extends into the rotating mounting hole and presses against the outer wall of the rotating shaft 82. The fastener is used to fix the rotating shaft 82 after the angle adjustment of the rotating support column 6 is completed. The fastener is arranged radially along the rotating mounting hole. The fastening hole is a threaded hole, and the fastener is a fastening screw 9.
