Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of soil testing equipment, specifically relating to a two-in-one soil measuring drill bit. Background Technology
[0002] In farmland or contaminated site surveys, soil sensors are typically used for detection. First, the instrument is calibrated, and then a suitable installation location is selected, avoiding factors such as rocks and hard clods of soil that might affect the results. There are two ways to install the sensor: vertical insertion into the soil being tested and horizontal insertion. However, when using the vertical insertion method, sometimes a greater depth is required, making ordinary shovels unsuitable. Typically, a drill rod is used to dig a pit, and then a pole is used to attach the sensor to the bottom of the hole. This method increases the complexity, requires more time, and is inconvenient to carry.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a highly efficient and portable soil measurement device is needed that can rapidly and accurately assess soil composition. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the sensor is mounted on a sensor holder, which is cylindrical.

[0023] The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] This utility model provides a two-in-one soil measurement drill bit, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a handle 1, a auger drill bit 7, and a sensor 10. The handle 1 of this novel device is cylindrical and designed in accordance with ergonomic principles, making it convenient for operators to grip and apply force. An extension rod 2 is connected to the middle of the handle 1, and the other end of the extension rod 2 is provided with a threaded connector 5. The extension rod 2 and the threaded connector 5 are hollow inside. There is an opening in the cross-section of one end of the handle 1. The power cord 3 enters from the small hole on one side of the handle 1, passes through the extension rod 2, and finally extends out from the threaded connector 5. The power cord 3 at the threaded connector 5 is connected to the sensor socket 6. Through this socket, the sensor 10 can receive electrical energy and transmit the measured soil parameter signals, realizing the data acquisition and transmission function. The threaded connector 5 of the extension rod 2 can be connected to the auger drill bit 7 or the sensor 10 respectively. There is an opening in the cross-section of one end of the handle 1.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the sensor holder 9 of this device is cylindrical. A threaded interface is located inside the sensor 10 socket on one side. This interface connects with the threaded connector 5 on the extension rod 2, ensuring it does not loosen during operation. A rectangular slot is located on the other side of the sensor holder 9, oriented with the axis of the cylinder. The sensor 10 is positioned in the center of the slot and is directly fixed to the slot with screws 8 to prevent loosening or displacement due to vibration or other factors during use, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data. Furthermore, the slot design facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the sensor 10, improving the maintainability of the entire device.
[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the auger drill bit 7 is made of high-strength, wear-resistant material and has excellent cutting performance. The auger structure is reasonably designed and can effectively break up and discharge the soil, making the drilling process smoother. The other side is provided with a threaded interface. The depth of this interface is greater than the length of the threaded connector 5 plus the sensor socket 6. The reason is that after the auger drill bit 7 is connected to the extension rod 2, the extra depth on the auger drill bit 7 is used to store the sensor socket 6.
[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the extension rod 2 is provided with a scale 4, which is distributed along the length of the extension rod 2. These scales 4 are clear and accurate, which makes it easy for operators to observe and record the depth of the drill bit into the soil in real time during use, and to provide a basis for matching measurement data with depth. The sensor 10 is an insertion sensor 10.
[0028] The following describes the working principle of the two-in-one soil measurement drill bit: In deep soil measurement operations, a hole needs to be drilled in the ground first. The auger drill bit 7 is then securely connected to the threaded connector 5 of the extension rod 2 via its threaded interface. The operator then holds the handle 1 and applies rotational force, causing the auger drill bit 7 to cut into the soil using its helical structure. When the soil is difficult to break, a hammer can be used for assistance, and the broken soil is discharged upwards along the helical blades, thus achieving the drilling function. During drilling, the drilling depth can be observed through the scale 4 on the extension rod 2. The auger drill bit 7 is then removed, and the sensor 10 is installed into the slot of the sensor holder 9 and secured with screws 8. The sensor holder 9 with the sensor 10 is then connected to the threaded connector 5 of the extension rod 2 via its internal threaded interface, allowing the sensor 10 to be electrically connected to the power cable 3 through the sensor 10 connector. The extension rod 2 with the sensor 10 installed is then drilled into the soil. As the drill bit penetrates deeper, the sensor 10 enters different depths of the soil. Sensor 10 senses various soil characteristics in real time and converts this information into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to external monitoring equipment (requires matching equipment) via the sensor 10 connector and power cord 3. Operators can record the soil depth corresponding to the measurement data according to the scale 4 on the extension rod 2, thereby achieving accurate measurement of soil parameters at different depths.
[0029] This utility model device, through its innovative design, has several significant advantages: First, it is easy to carry and simple to operate, making it more suitable for mobile field operations. The two-in-one soil measurement drill bit is connected to the extension rod by a thread through a special sensor holder, improving portability. Second, it provides high data accuracy. The device integrates drilling and measurement functions, avoiding errors that may occur in traditional sampling and measurement methods due to sample collection, transportation, and processing. It can more accurately reflect the soil condition. At the same time, the insertion sensor is in close contact with the soil, enabling the acquisition of accurate data in real time.
