Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental monitoring equipment technology, specifically to a soil testing device for rice cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] In today's agricultural production, especially in paddy field cultivation, soil quality monitoring plays a crucial role in the growth and development of rice. Accurately understanding parameters such as nutrient content, pH, and moisture in paddy field soil provides key information for rational fertilization, irrigation, and other field management measures, directly impacting rice yield and quality.

[0003] Traditional paddy field soil testing often relies on professional laboratory analysis. Farmers need to collect soil samples and send them to laboratories far away. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also results in significant delays in receiving test results, making it difficult to adjust field management measures in a timely manner. In addition, laboratory testing equipment is usually complex in structure and requires high operational skills, which is too high a barrier for ordinary farmers to use and difficult to apply frequently in their daily planting.

[0004] At the same time, rice paddies often face the problem of birds pecking at the rice grains. Birds foraging in rice paddies can reduce rice yields and cause economic losses for farmers. Farmers usually use simple methods such as scarecrows and bird-repelling ribbons to drive away birds, but these methods have limited effectiveness and short duration, requiring frequent replacement and maintenance, and cannot meet the needs of long-term, efficient bird control.

[0005] In conclusion, agricultural production urgently needs a comprehensive device that can overcome the drawbacks of traditional soil testing, enabling convenient and rapid testing of paddy field soil, while also effectively repelling birds and ensuring all-round protection for paddy field production. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a soil testing device with a simple structure and convenient operation. It can test paddy field soil while also repelling birds, thus protecting the paddy fields.

[0007] A soil testing device for rice cultivation includes a housing, a bird deterrent device on the top of the housing, a soil testing module on the bottom, a display electrically connected to the soil testing module on the side wall of the housing, and a support column on the soil testing module, the upper part of the support column being connected to the housing, and a temperature and humidity sensor on the lower part.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0009] The bird deterrent device includes a controller, a lighting module, and an alarm module. The lighting module includes a lampshade mounted on the top of the housing, and a bird deterrent light is installed inside the lampshade. The alarm module uses a buzzer.

[0010] The housing is equipped with a distance detector that is electrically connected to the controller.

[0011] The lampshade is spherical, and a reflector is provided on top of the lampshade. The reflector is frustoconical and its diameter gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0012] The shell is columnar and its diameter gradually decreases from the middle to both ends. Photovoltaic panels are provided on both sides of the shell.

[0013] The side wall of the housing is provided with a drive shaft for mounting the photovoltaic panel, and the housing is provided with a drive device for driving the photovoltaic panel to reciprocate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows: The soil testing equipment for rice planting has a simple overall structure, can quickly detect the temperature and humidity of the soil, and can also display the test results on a display screen, which facilitates data collection and display. The entire equipment is simple to use and easy to install, and has low requirements for the professional skills of the users, which can be better promoted and used.

[0015] While collecting soil samples, bird deterrent devices can be used to drive away approaching birds, ensuring that the devices operate normally and are not damaged by birds. The design can also be combined with scarecrow shapes to protect rice paddies and prevent birds from damaging the paddies and stealing rice grains. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the soil testing equipment for rice cultivation in this embodiment includes a housing 1. A bird deterrent device is installed on the top of the housing 1, and a soil testing module is installed on the bottom. A display 2 electrically connected to the soil testing module is provided on the side wall of the housing 1. The soil testing module includes a support column 3. The support column 3 is made of hollow material. The upper part of the support column 3 is connected to the housing 1, and a temperature and humidity sensor 4 is installed on the lower part. The temperature and humidity sensor 4 is a probe-type sensor, which is fixed inside the support column 3. After the support column 3 is inserted into the soil 15-30 cm, the temperature and humidity sensor 4 can collect the soil temperature and humidity. After processing by the chip, the data is transmitted to the display 2 for display. The structure is simple and convenient to operate and collect data later.

[0022] While displaying the data, a wireless transmission module can be installed inside the casing 1 to transmit the collected soil information to the control terminal or mobile device, making it convenient for people to observe the soil information in real time.

[0023] The bird deterrent device includes a controller 5, a lighting module and an alarm module. The lighting module includes a lampshade 6 installed on top of the housing 1, and a bird deterrent light 7 inside the lampshade 6. The alarm module uses a buzzer 8. A power supply is also installed inside the housing 1 to provide power for the operation of the entire device.

[0024] A distance detector 9, which is electrically connected to the controller 5, is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1. The distance detector 9 uses an ultrasonic sensor of model HC-SR04. When a bird approaches, the distance detector 9 is triggered and transmits a signal to the controller 5. The controller 5 sends instructions to the bird-repelling light 7 and the buzzer 8 to start the operation, using light and sound to drive away birds and protect the rice field.

[0025] The lampshade 6 is spherical, and a reflector 10 is installed on top of the lampshade 6. The reflector 10 is truncated cone-shaped and its diameter gradually decreases from bottom to top. The design of the lampshade 6 and the reflector 10 can be combined with the shape of the housing 1. A shape similar to a scarecrow's head is constructed on the upper part of the housing 1. The shape of the entire device is like a scarecrow. Combined with light and sound, it can enhance the effect of repelling birds.

[0026] The shell 1 is columnar and its diameter gradually decreases from the middle to both ends. The overall shape imitates the shape of a scarecrow. The middle part of the shell 1 is a cavity for installing the power supply, drive device and controller 5 and other equipment. Photovoltaic panels 11 are installed on both sides of the shell 1. The photovoltaic panels 11 can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the power supply, extending the working time of the equipment. It can operate without external circuits, improving the convenience of installation and use of the equipment.

[0027] The side wall of the housing 1 is provided with a drive shaft 12 for mounting the photovoltaic panel 11. The housing 1 is equipped with a drive device for driving the photovoltaic panel 11 to reciprocate. The drive device is a servo motor of model SG90. The servo motor is electrically connected to the controller 5. When birds are detected approaching, the controller 5 sends an operation command to the servo motor. The servo motor drives the photovoltaic panel 11 to reciprocate around the drive shaft 12 as the axis to improve the bird deterrence effect.
