[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural monitoring equipment technology, specifically to a self-cleaning monitoring pole for use in the field. Background Technology
[0002] Field environment monitoring devices are key equipment in modern agriculture for collecting real-time data on crop growth environment. The monitoring devices are deployed in farmland and use sensors to monitor environmental parameters in real time, providing data support for precision agriculture.
[0003] Traditional field environmental monitoring devices typically consist of a support rod, sensor modules, and data transmission units. However, the farmland environment is complex and variable, and sensors are exposed to interference factors such as dust, rain, insects, and birds for extended periods. They are easily covered by dust, water mist, insect secretions, or scratched by bird claws and beaks, leading to data acquisition distortion. Therefore, frequent manual wiping of the sensors is required, increasing labor costs.
[0004] Therefore, ensuring the long-term accurate data acquisition and stable operation of sensors has become a key technical challenge at present. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a self-cleaning monitoring pole for use in the field to solve the problem of long-term stable operation and accurate data collection in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this utility model provide the following technical solutions:
[0007] A field self-cleaning monitoring pole includes a pole body and a detection module disposed within the pole body. The pole body has multiple through holes on its side for the sensor probes of the detection module to extend out. A brush cylinder that can rotate around its axis is sleeved on the outside of the pole body. The inner wall of the brush cylinder is provided with uniformly distributed cleaning brushes. A motor that drives the brush cylinder to rotate is disposed inside the pole body.
[0008] The brush cylinder has slots on its surface that correspond to the positions of each sensor probe under normal conditions. When the motor drives the brush cylinder to rotate, the brush cylinder can periodically clean the sensor probes.

Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] As shown in Figures 1-4, this embodiment provides a field self-cleaning monitoring pole, including a pole body 1 and a detection module 4 disposed inside the pole body 1. The pole body 1 has multiple through holes 101 on its side for the sensor probes of the detection module 4 to extend out. A brush cylinder 2 that can rotate around its axis is sleeved on the outside of the pole body 1. Cleaning brushes 201 that are evenly distributed are provided on the inner wall of the brush cylinder 2. A motor 3 that drives the brush cylinder 2 to rotate is provided inside the pole body 1.
[0028] The brush cylinder 2 has slots 202 on its surface that correspond to the positions of each sensor probe under normal conditions. When the motor 3 drives the brush cylinder 2 to rotate, the brush cylinder 2 can periodically clean the sensor probes.
[0029] The detection module 4 includes an image recognition camera 401, a temperature and humidity probe 402, and a wireless transmission module 403. To ensure the normal operation of each sensor in the detection module 4, a battery, a solar charging or battery replacement module, and a control module for controlling the forward and reverse rotation start and stop sequence and interval of the motor should also be configured inside the pole body 1.
[0030] This embodiment utilizes the rotational linkage design of the rod body 1 and the brush cylinder 2 to periodically and automatically clean the sensor probe using the cleaning brush 201 on the inner wall of the brush cylinder 2, effectively preventing the distortion of monitoring data caused by dust accumulation and water mist adhesion. In addition, the transmission structure of the brush cylinder 2 and the cooperation of the quantitative track 102 ensure that the brush cylinder 2 can more thoroughly clean each transmission probe, significantly improving the long-term working reliability of the monitoring rod in the complex environment of farmland and reducing the need for manual maintenance.
[0031] The inner wall of the rod 1 is provided with a quantitative track 102 distributed in a spiral shape, and the starting point of one end of the quantitative track 102 is located directly below the ending point of the other end.
[0032] The inner side of the brush cylinder 2 is provided with a transmission cylinder 203 that is movably sleeved on the inner side of the rod body 1. The outer side of the transmission cylinder 203 is provided with a convex slider 204 that extends into the quantitative track 102. The bottom of the transmission cylinder 203 is provided with a bottom groove 205 with a polygonal cross-section. The inside of the bottom groove 205 is slidably connected with a transmission slider 206 that matches its cross-sectional shape. The transmission slider 206 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3.
[0033] Specifically, the quantitative track 102 is a spiral groove distributed around its inner wall, with the starting point located at the bottom and the ending point located directly above the starting point, and the longitudinal spacing is the maximum height distance of the brush cylinder 2 rotating upwards; after the convex slider 204 of the transmission cylinder 203 is embedded in the quantitative track 102, when the motor 3 drives the brush cylinder 2 to rotate, the convex slider 204 moves along the spiral track 102, forcing the transmission cylinder 203 and the brush cylinder 2 to move up and down along the axis of the rod body 1 while rotating.
[0034] Furthermore, the forward and reverse rotation of motor 3 will drive brush cylinder 2 to rotate upward or downward. When the output end of motor 3 rotates forward along with transmission slider 206, it will rotate forward synchronously along with transmission cylinder 203 and brush cylinder 2. At this time, the convex slider outside transmission cylinder 203 will start to move from the initial position of quantitative track 102. During this process, the rotation and rise of brush cylinder 2 cleans the probes of each camera through its internal cleaning brush 201 and silicone scraper until it slides to the end position of quantitative track 102. At this time, the position of brush cylinder 2 is at its highest, but the slot 202 on brush cylinder 2 is still facing the direction of each sensor probe.
[0035] When the output of motor 3 rotates in the opposite direction, it will cause brush cylinder 2 to rotate downward until brush cylinder 2 descends from the highest point to the lowest point while maintaining the same direction.
[0036] It is worth noting that since the transmission slider 206 is connected to the output end of the motor 3, its height remains unchanged. When the transmission slider 206 rotates, it will rotate synchronously with the transmission cylinder 203. At this time, the convex slider 204 cooperates with the quantitative slide rail 1202 to make the transmission cylinder 203 rise and fall. Therefore, during this process, the transmission slider 206 will slide in the bottom slide groove 205 of the transmission cylinder 203 and always maintain a transmission relationship with the transmission cylinder 203.
[0037] The brush cylinder 2 has a hemisphere 207 at its top, and the outer surface of the hemisphere 207 has multiple reflective sheets 208 with different orientations.
[0038] Specifically, the hemisphere 207 is fixed to the top of the brush cylinder 2. When the brush cylinder 2 rotates, the reflector 208 generates irregular flashing light spots, forcing birds away from the pole 1.
[0039] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
