DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0029] In the following embodiments, near infrared spectroscopy technology is involved. The principle of near infrared spectroscopy technology in soil nutrient detection is mainly based on molecular vibration and spectral absorption characteristics. The near infrared spectral region usually refers to electromagnetic waves with a wavelength range of 780-2500 nm (wavenumber range of about 12800-4000 cm-1). When near infrared light irradiates the soil, the molecules (such as water, organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc.) in the soil will absorb light energy of specific wavelengths, causing the transition of molecular vibration energy levels. These vibrations mainly include C-H (carbon-hydrogen bond) O-H (hydroxyl group) N-H (amino group) and C=O (carbonyl group). Each type of chemical bond has a specific absorption wavelength corresponding to a specific vibration mode, so the absorption spectrum of different components in the soil is unique.
[0030] When near infrared light irradiates the soil surface, part of the light is absorbed and part of the light is reflected. By detecting the reflected near infrared spectrum of the soil, the spectral characteristics of the soil can be obtained. Different contents of nutrients (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and organic matter in the soil will cause differences in the reflected spectrum. Specifically, soil with high nutrient content will absorb more light of specific wavelengths, resulting in a decrease in reflectivity; soil with low nutrient content has a higher reflectivity. By analyzing the changes in the reflected spectrum, the content of nutrients in the soil can be detected.
[0031] Multivariate regression models and quantitative analysis: To convert reflectance spectroscopy data into quantitative information of soil nutrients, multivariate regression models (such as partial least squares regression, PLSR) are usually used for analysis. The specific steps are as follows: Model establishment: By collecting a large number of soil samples with known nutrient content, measuring their near-infrared spectra, and establishing a mathematical relationship model between spectral data and nutrient content. Prediction of unknown samples: Input the reflectance spectrum of unknown soil samples into the model to calculate their nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and organic matter content.
[0032] Temperature compensation and spectral correction: Since soil temperature can affect the reflectance characteristics of near-infrared spectra, a temperature compensation algorithm needs to be introduced during detection to eliminate the interference of temperature on the detection results. The specific method includes: Real-time monitoring of temperature sensor: Integrate temperature sensor in the detection probe to measure soil temperature in real time. Pre-set algorithm correction: Dynamically correct the reflectance spectrum data according to temperature changes to improve detection accuracy.
[0033] In the portable soil nutrient detector, near-infrared spectroscopy technology is realized through the following components: Light source: Use multi-band near-infrared LED light source to emit light of specific wavelength. Photoelectric detector: Receive soil reflected light and convert it into electrical signal. Optical glass: Protect the probe and directly contact with soil to ensure smooth light path. Mainboard module: Integrate spectral analysis algorithm and temperature compensation algorithm to calculate soil nutrient content in real time.
[0034] The principle of near-infrared spectroscopy technology in soil nutrient detection is to analyze the near-infrared spectrum reflected by soil, combined with multivariate regression model and temperature compensation algorithm, to quickly and non-destructively determine the content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and organic matter in soil. This technology has the advantages of fast, portable, no reagent consumption, etc., and is suitable for in-situ detection needs in precision agriculture.
[0035] In the following examples, the mainboard function module is involved, mechanical connection: The mainboard module is integrated in the upper shell of the split shell, and is fixed by screws to realize detachable connection with the conical lower shell. The upper shell and the lower shell are precisely aligned by positioning pins and screw holes to ensure the stability of the overall structure. Function integration: The internal layout of the upper shell includes display screen (such as 1.47 inch OLED screen), key board and charging interface (Type-C interface), the mainboard is electrically connected with these components through internal wiring or flexible circuit board (FPC), realizing human-computer interaction and data display. Maintenance convenience: Split design allows the upper shell to be disassembled separately, facilitating the maintenance or upgrade of the mainboard module, while not affecting the core components such as detection probe in the lower shell.
[0036] Photoelectric signal processing: the photodiode in the detection probe converts the near-infrared light reflected by the soil into an electrical signal after receiving the near-infrared light reflected by the soil, and is connected to the mainboard through a shielded cable or PCB trace. The mainboard (such as an STM32F407 chip) has an AD conversion module built-in to amplify and digitize the signal. Temperature compensation mechanism: the temperature sensor is in close contact with the inside of the optical glass, and monitors the soil temperature in real time through a thermistor or DS18B20 chip. The signal is directly input into the temperature compensation algorithm module of the mainboard to correct the error of the reflected spectrum data.
[0037] Type-C interface design: the mainboard realizes dual functions (charging and data transmission) through a Type-C interface, the interface is integrated on the side of the upper shell, supports fast charging (such as PD protocol) and data interaction with external devices (such as mobile phones and tablets), and is connected to the detection end data line through a USB to RS485 serial port line. Calibration function: the mainboard has a built-in calibration algorithm, which calibrates the detector through a standard white board to eliminate environmental interference. The user can trigger the calibration program through the key board, and the calibration data is stored in the mainboard flash memory.
