Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil testing, and more specifically to a soil water and salt monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, soil water and salt content measurements are used to assess the physicochemical properties of soil, fertility, and impact on plant growth; to improve monitoring accuracy, monitoring is usually conducted at a certain depth in the soil layer.
[0003] Traditional water and salt monitoring devices require drilling holes and inserting the device into the holes to monitor soil layers at a certain depth, or drilling a drill bit with a monitoring probe mounted on its surface into the soil. The former is complicated to operate and is not suitable for loose soil, while the latter may damage the monitoring device if the monitoring probe, which rotates with the drill bit, comes into contact with hard materials such as stones in the soil during the process of penetrating the soil.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a new soil water and salt monitoring device in which the monitoring probe is housed inside the device during its drilling into the soil, and the monitoring device can be released after drilling to a specified depth, is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0040] The telescopic end of the probe telescopic assembly 3 is installed on the monitoring probe 36.
[0041] The top of the drill bit 2 is provided with an assembly groove 21, the bottom of the drill rod 1 is located in the assembly groove 21 and is clearance-fitted with it, the side wall of the assembly groove 21 is provided with an elongated guide groove 22, the guide post 16 is slidably connected in the guide groove 22, the guide groove 22 is arranged along the axial direction of the drill bit 2, and the two ends of the guide groove 22 extend into limit grooves along the positive rotation direction of the drill bit 2. The distance between the center lines of the two limit grooves is greater than the distance between the monitoring probe 36 and the top of the drill bit 2.
[0042] The limiting groove near the bottom of the assembly slot 21 provides support for the transmission between the drill rod 1 and the drill bit 2 during the deep drilling process of the drill bit 2. After the drill bit 2 rotates to the specified depth, the external force rotates the drill rod 1 in the opposite direction and pulls it up, and the drill bit 2 separates from the drill rod 1.
[0043] The limiting groove in the guide groove 22 near the opening of the assembly groove 21 is used to maintain the relative position of the drill bit 2 and the drill rod 1 after they are separated.
[0044] In some embodiments, there are multiple guide posts 16 and guide grooves 22, evenly arranged around the axis of the drill bit 2. This results in greater stability during rotation and movement.
[0045] Specifically, a guide post sliding hole is provided on the outer surface of the drill bit 2 at the position corresponding to the guide groove 22, and the guide post 16 is pinned to the annular recess 12, thereby facilitating the installation of the guide post 16.
[0046] In other embodiments, the limiting groove includes a probe monitoring limiting groove 221 and a probe hiding limiting groove 223 corresponding to both ends of the guide groove 22. The probe monitoring limiting groove 221, the guide groove 22 and the probe hiding limiting groove 223 are connected in sequence to form a U-shape. The guide groove 22 is arranged along the axial direction of the drill bit 2. The probe monitoring limiting groove 221 and the probe hiding limiting groove 223 are arranged circumferentially along the axis of the drill bit 2 and are located on the same side of the guide groove 22 corresponding to the positive rotation direction of the drill bit 2.
[0047] In one embodiment, the length of the probe concealment limiting groove 223 is greater than the length of the probe monitoring limiting groove 221.

[0048] In one embodiment, an annular recess 12 is formed by recessing the outer side of the bottom end of the drill rod 1 towards its center. The annular recess 12 at the bottom end of the drill rod 1 is located in the assembly groove 21, and its wall surface is in clearance fit with the side wall of the assembly groove.

The sliding connecting rod 31 is coaxially arranged with the drill rod 1, and its first end is slidably connected to the mounting plate 38 along the axial direction of the drill rod 1, and its second end is in contact with the bottom surface of the assembly groove 21; a sliding hole 13 is provided on the wall of the annular recess 12, and the first end of the probe connecting rod 34 slides and extends in the sliding hole 13 and extends outward to the outside of the annular recess 12 to install a monitoring probe 36; the connecting block 32 is fastened to the outer surface of the sliding connecting rod 31; the spring 33 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding connecting rod 31, and the two ends of the spring 33 are in contact with the opposite surfaces of the mounting plate 38 and the connecting block 32, respectively; one end of the connecting rod 35 is hinged to the second end of the probe connecting rod 34, and the other end is hinged to the connecting block 32.
[0050] Specifically, mounting plate 38 is welded inside drill pipe 1.
[0051] More specifically, the spring 33 located between the mounting plate 38 and the connecting block 32 is in a compressed state, and its unfolding stroke is greater than the distance between the center lines of the probe monitoring limit groove 221 and the probe hiding limit groove 223.
[0052] In this embodiment, there are two probe connecting rods 34, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sliding connecting rod 31. This results in a more balanced force distribution on the sliding connecting rod 31.
[0053] In some specific embodiments, a power input head 14 and a monitoring output port 15 are fastened to the top of the drill pipe 1. Thus, an external power device can be connected to the power input head 14 to drive the drill pipe 1 to rotate.
[0054] In some other embodiments, the monitoring output port 15 is electrically connected to the monitoring probe 36.
[0055] Specifically, it also includes a soil water and salt monitor, which is electrically connected to the monitoring output port 15. Therefore, the split design facilitates drill rod operation and simplifies the structure.

The limiting block 37 is fastened to the first end of the sliding connecting rod 31 and located in the cavity inside the drill rod 1 to limit the stroke of the sliding connecting rod 31. Thus, the sliding connecting rod 31 can be precisely limited by the limiting block 37, reducing the machining accuracy of the bottom surface of the assembly groove 21 and the guide groove 22, and saving costs.
[0058] The specific principle and usage method of the soil water and salinity monitoring device provided in this embodiment are as follows:
[0059] 1. Slide the guide post 16 into the probe concealment limiting groove 223, along... Figure 4 Rotate drill rod 1 clockwise in the indicated orientation;
[0060] 2. Continue rotating drill bit 2 until it reaches the specified depth;
[0061] 3. External force rotates the drill rod 1 counterclockwise and pulls it upward, so that the guide column 16 slides through the vertical channel of the guide groove 22 into the probe monitoring limit groove 221;
[0062] 4. During the movement in step 3 above, the second end of the sliding connecting rod 31 that is in contact with the bottom surface of the assembly groove 21 of the drill bit 2 is released, the spring 33 pushes the connecting block 32 to move downward, and the connecting block 32 converts the force of the sliding connecting rod 31 along the axial direction of the drill rod 1 into a force along the radial direction of the drill rod 1 through the connecting rod 35, which pushes the probe connecting rod 34, on which the monitoring probe 36 is installed, to protrude out of the groove surface of the annular recess 12 and contact the soil.
[0063] 5. Connect the soil water and salt monitor to the monitoring output port 15 for monitoring.
