Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine planting technology, specifically to a soil moisture detection device for traditional Chinese medicine planting. Background Technology

[0002] Using soil moisture monitoring devices to detect soil moisture in medicinal herb cultivation allows for timely understanding and replenishment of soil moisture. However, preventing the detection probe from being inserted into the soil during the moisture detection process and damaging the roots and stems of the planted medicinal herbs is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.

[0003] A search revealed that CN211453449U discloses a soil moisture detection device, belonging to the field of agricultural technology. The device includes a base, a storage box fixedly installed on one side of the base's top, the interior of which is divided into several storage chambers by partitions, and an equipment box fixedly installed on the other side of the base's top. A programmable PLC controller is fixedly installed inside the equipment box, and a display screen is fixedly installed on the top of the front of the equipment box. A threaded sleeve is fixedly installed in the middle of the base's top, with a threaded rod threadedly connected to its tip. This soil moisture detection device uses a fixed column to drive a turntable to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded rod to rotate, facilitating the movement of the drill bit into the ground. During the rotation of the threaded rod, a fixed plate moves downwards. The depth of the drill bit's penetration is easily observed through graduations on the front of the fixed frame, facilitating the detection of soil moisture at different depths and improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0004] The aforementioned soil moisture detection device uses a threaded rod that spirals downwards within a threaded sleeve, driving a moisture detection head to probe into the soil to detect moisture. However, this design has a drawback: during the downward probe, the threaded rod can easily touch the roots and stems of the planted medicinal herbs, causing damage. Furthermore, as the threaded rod completes the moisture detection and moves upwards to reset, it can also turn up the soil in the drilled portion, leading to soil loosening and damaging the growing environment for the medicinal plants, thus affecting their normal development. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a soil moisture detection device for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation, which solves the problem in the prior art where the threaded rod easily touches the root and stem parts of the planted Chinese medicinal herbs during the downward movement of the moisture detection head, thus causing damage to the herbs. At the same time, during the process of completing the moisture detection and moving upward to reset, the threaded rod also turns up the soil in the drilled part, resulting in soil loosening and damaging the production environment of the Chinese medicinal plants, thus affecting their normal development.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A soil moisture detection device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs includes a planting box and a soil layer filled inside the planting box. A leveling component is provided on the side of the planting box. The leveling component includes two sets of limiting posts, which are symmetrically and fixedly connected in a groove on the outside of the planting box. The leveling component also includes a support plate, which is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting posts. A U-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate. The end of the U-shaped rod away from the support plate is located inside the planting box. The leveling component also includes a tamping plate, which is set inside the planting box and above the soil layer. The tamping plate and the U-shaped rod are fixedly connected.

[0007] Preferably, the leveling component further includes a spring ring, which is elastically sleeved on the outside of the limiting post, and the bottom of the spring ring is fixedly connected to the limiting post.

[0008] Preferably, the tamping assembly further includes a cavity, which is formed inside the tamping plate. The tamping assembly also includes an inner push plate, which is slidably connected inside the cavity, and a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the inner push plate.

[0009] Preferably, the tamping assembly further includes a central groove, which is formed through the middle of the tamping plate, and the tamping assembly further includes a scraper, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the central groove.

[0010] Preferably, the planting box is also vertically fixedly connected to a partition, which is located on the oblique side of the ramming plate, and the partition has through holes at equal intervals in the middle.

[0011] Preferably, a drive assembly is provided on the outer wall of the planting box. The drive assembly includes a forward and reverse motor, which is fixedly installed inside the planting box. The drive assembly also includes a threaded column, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the forward and reverse motor. The threaded column is rotatably connected to a slot in the side wall of the planting box by the forward and reverse motor.

[0012] Preferably, the drive assembly further includes a slide, which is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded post.

[0013] Preferably, a detection component is provided on the outside of the slide block. The detection component includes a humidity display instrument, which is fixedly installed on the front of the slide block. The detection component also includes a drill rod, which is fixedly connected to the top of the slide block. A cone is fixedly connected to the end of the drill rod away from the slide block. The cone is located inside the planting box. A humidity detection head is fixedly installed at the connection between the cone and the drill rod. The humidity detection head is electrically connected to the humidity display instrument.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention features a partition inside the planting box to separate the soil layer planting area from the humidity detection area, preventing damage to the roots and stems of medicinal plants during the downward movement of the drill rod and humidity detection head driven by the drive assembly. Additionally, a leveling component is installed inside the planting box at the humidity detection head location. After the detection component completes humidity detection and resets under the drive assembly, the operator can push the inner push plate horizontally to the central groove within the cavity, then hold the upper part of the U-shaped rod with both hands and repeatedly press down on the leveling plate. This leveles the soil layer loosened during detection. Compared to the prior art, this design not only avoids damage to the roots and stems of medicinal plants during detection but also leveles the loose soil layer after detection, preventing soil loosening caused by detection from affecting the normal development of medicinal plants.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a soil moisture detection device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs, including a planting box 1, a soil layer 5 filled inside the planting box 1, a leveling component 4 on the side of the planting box 1, the leveling component 4 including two sets of limiting posts 41, the two sets of limiting posts 41 being symmetrically fixedly connected in a groove on the outside of the planting box 1, the leveling component 4 also including a support plate 42, the support plate 42 being slidably connected to the outside of the limiting posts 41, and a U-shaped rod 43 being fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 42, the end of the U-shaped rod 43 away from the support plate 42 being located inside the planting box 1, the leveling component 4... It also includes a tamping plate 44, which is set inside the planting box 1 and above the soil layer 5. The tamping plate 44 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped rod 43. This design solves the problem in the prior art that the threaded rod can easily touch the root and stem parts of the planted Chinese medicinal materials when it drives the humidity detection head 33 to go down, thus causing damage to the Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, when the threaded rod completes the humidity detection and moves upward to reset, it will also turn up the soil in the drilled part, thus causing the soil to loosen and damaging the production environment of Chinese medicinal plants, and affecting the normal development of Chinese medicinal plants.

[0026] Please see Figure 4 The leveling component 4 also includes a spring ring 411, which is elastically sleeved on the outside of the limiting post 41, and the bottom of the spring ring 411 is fixedly connected to the limiting post 41. This design allows the spring ring 411 to drive the support plate 42 to reset under elastic action after leveling is completed.

[0027] Please see Figure 5 The leveling component 4 also includes a cavity 441, which is opened inside the tamping plate 44. The leveling component 4 also includes an inner push plate 46, which is slidably connected inside the cavity 441. A handle 461 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner push plate 46. Before leveling the soil layer 5 by the tamping plate 44, the inner push plate 46 can be closed by holding the handle 461 and pushing it horizontally to the middle groove 45. This design can prevent soil clods from falling out of the middle groove 45 during the leveling process of the tamping plate 44, thereby reducing the flatness of the soil layer 5 after leveling.

[0028] Please see Figure 5The leveling component 4 also includes a central groove 45, which is opened through the middle of the tamping plate 44. The leveling component 4 also includes a scraper 451, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the central groove 45. When the humidity detection head 33 moves upward under the action of the drive component 2, the drill rod 32 will pass upward in the central groove 45. At this time, the scraper 451 located inside the central groove 45 will contact the outside of the drill rod 32 and scrape off the residual soil on the outside of the drill rod 32, and the planting soil will fall back to the top of the soil layer 5.

[0029] Please see Figure 6 Inside the planting box 1, there is also a vertically fixed partition 11. The partition 11 is located on the oblique side of the ramming plate 44. The partition 11 has through holes 111 at equal intervals in the middle. The soil layer 5 can be divided into a planting layer and a detection layer through the partition 11. This design can prevent the drill rod 32 from touching and damaging the roots and stems of the Chinese medicinal plants during the drilling process. At the same time, the through holes 111 at equal intervals in the middle of the partition 11 can maintain the flow of water in the soil layer 5, thereby keeping the humidity of the planting layer and the detection layer consistent.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 A drive assembly 2 is provided on the outer wall of the planting box 1. The drive assembly 2 includes a forward and reverse motor 21, which is fixedly installed inside the planting box 1. The drive assembly 2 also includes a threaded post 22, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the forward and reverse motor 21. The threaded post 22 is rotatably connected to a slot in the side wall of the planting box 1 through the forward and reverse motor 21. The drive assembly 2 also includes a slide 23, which is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded post 22. A detection assembly 3 is provided on the outside of the slide 23. The detection assembly 3 includes a humidity display 31, which is fixedly installed on the front of the slide 23. The detection assembly 3 also includes a drill rod 32, which is fixedly connected to the top of the slide 23. A cone is fixedly connected to the end of the drill rod 32 away from the slide 23. 321. The cone 321 is located inside the planting box 1. A humidity detection head 33 is fixedly installed at the connection between the cone 321 and the drill rod 32. The humidity detection head 33 is electrically connected to the humidity display instrument 31. By starting the forward and reverse motor 21, the threaded column 22 can be rotated at the side wall of the planting box 1, which causes the slide 23, which is threaded to the outside of the threaded column 22, to move up and down synchronously. This causes the slide 23 to drive the drill rod 32 and the humidity detection head 33 to move up and down in the soil layer 5 to complete the humidity detection work of the soil layer 5 at different depths. When the drill rod 32 drives the humidity detection head 33 to insert into the soil layer 5, the humidity of the area can be detected by the humidity detection head 33, and the detected data is transmitted to the humidity display instrument 31.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows:

[0032] First, by activating the forward and reverse motor 21, the operator can rotate the threaded column 22 at the side wall of the planting box 1. This causes the slide 23, which is threaded onto the outside of the threaded column 22, to move up and down synchronously. The slide 23 then moves the drill rod 32 and the humidity detection head 33 up and down within the soil layer 5 to detect the humidity at different depths. When the drill rod 32 drives the humidity detection head 33 into the soil layer 5, the humidity in that area can be detected by the humidity detection head 33, and the detected data is transmitted to the humidity display instrument 31. Specifically, a partition 11 is provided inside the planting box 1 to... This design distinguishes the planting section of soil layer 5 from the humidity detection section, preventing damage to the roots and stems of medicinal plants caused by the drill rod 32 and humidity detection head 33 during the downward exploration driven by the drive component 2. At the same time, this design includes a leveling component 4 located at the humidity detection head 33 inside the planting box 1. After the detection component 3 completes humidity detection and resets under the drive component 2, the operator can push the inner push plate 46 horizontally to the middle groove 45 in the cavity 441, and then hold the upper part of the U-shaped rod 43 with both hands and drive the tamping plate 44 to press down repeatedly, thereby leveling the soil layer 5 located in the loose part caused by detection under the action of the tamping plate 44.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
