Abstract
Description
An intelligent monitoring device for agricultural planting Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, specifically to an intelligent monitoring device for agricultural planting. Background Technology
[0002] Planting refers to the cultivation of plants, including the cultivation of various crops, trees, fruit trees, flowers, medicinal and ornamental plants, such as food crops, cash crops, vegetable crops, green manure crops, forage crops, and pasture grasses.
[0003] To achieve intelligent monitoring of crop cultivation, existing technologies typically use various sensors to detect soil conditions. The sensor probe positions are generally fixed. However, because the root depth of plants varies during growth, fixed probe positions are difficult to adjust for different growth stages of crops, making them inconvenient to use. Although some existing technologies have fixed probe positions, the probe length is generally fixed. Throughout the plant's growth stage, the root system spans a large area, requiring probes to be designed to be long. A driving structure is needed to press the probe down, during which the probe is prone to bending and damage.
[0004] Based on this, this solution proposes an intelligent monitoring device for agricultural planting. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent monitoring device for agricultural planting to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent monitoring device for agricultural planting, comprising a base:
[0007] A protective cover is provided on the base, and a signal transceiver is provided on one side of the protective cover;
[0008] The protective cover is equipped with a telescopic probe assembly for monitoring soil conditions, which includes a primary probe rod and a secondary probe rod.
[0009] The secondary probe rod is equipped with a multi-electrode integrated probe structure, which includes, but is not limited to, an ion-selective electrode and a moisture sensor.
[0010] The protective cover is provided with a driving component for extending and retracting the telescopic probe assembly. The driving component includes a motor, a first lead screw, and a second lead screw.
[0011] Preferably, an anchor bolt is provided at each of the four corners of the base to fix the device in a specific position.
[0012] Preferably, the motor is located at the top of the protective cover, the first lead screw is connected to the main shaft end of the motor, and the second lead screw is connected to the first lead screw, so that it can rotate synchronously with the first lead screw.
[0013] Preferably, the primary probe rod is slidably disposed inside the protective cover and is threadedly sleeved on the first lead screw, and the secondary probe rod is slidably disposed inside the primary probe rod and is threadedly sleeved on the second lead screw.
[0014] Preferably, the protective cover and the first-stage probe rod are both provided with sliding grooves inside, and the outer sides of the first-stage probe rod and the second-stage probe rod are provided with limiting sliders that are adapted to slide in the sliding grooves. The base and the first-stage probe rod are both provided with scrapers for cleaning the outer sides of the first-stage probe rod and the second-stage probe rod.
[0015] Preferably, a pressure sensor is provided at the bottom of the secondary probe rod for detecting soil hardness.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. This utility model moves the multi-electrode integrated probe structure to the corresponding depth by setting a segmented telescopic probe assembly. Therefore, the length of the telescopic probe assembly can be adjusted according to different root depths at different growth stages of crops. At the same time, since the probe's action point is not directly applied to the top and it is segmented, the bending and damage of the integrated probe during the downward pressing process can be avoided.
[0018] 2. This utility model, through its signal transceiver, can connect to the control center via the internet. Based on the root growth status of crops at different stages, it can automatically control the operation of the drive components, thereby controlling the extension and retraction length of the telescopic probe assembly. This allows the multi-electrode integrated probe structure to be moved to the appropriate depth, intelligently adjusting the probe depth according to the crop's growth. This enables the detection of soil moisture and nutrients at that depth, and the detected data is transmitted to the control center via the signal transceiver. The control center then receives the soil data and provides targeted watering and fertilization for the crops. Therefore, this system is more intelligent and allows for intelligent monitoring of different growth stages. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4. This utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent monitoring device for agricultural planting, including a base 1; a protective cover 2 is provided on the base 1, and a signal transceiver 3 is provided on one side of the protective cover 2; a telescopic probe assembly 5 for monitoring soil conditions is provided on the protective cover 2, the telescopic probe assembly 5 includes a primary probe rod 501 and a secondary probe rod 502; a multi-electrode integrated probe structure 7 is provided on the secondary probe rod 502, the multi-electrode integrated probe structure 7 including but not limited to an ion-selective electrode and a moisture sensor; a driving component 4 for driving the telescopic probe assembly 5 to extend and retract is provided on the protective cover 2, the driving component 4 including a motor 401, a first lead screw 402 and a second lead screw 403.
[0026] The signal transceiver 3 can transmit and receive signals via network connection. Based on the Internet, it automatically controls the drive component 4 to work by monitoring the root growth of crops at different stages, thereby automatically adjusting the extension length of the telescopic probe assembly 5. Therefore, it can automatically adjust the position of the multi-electrode integrated probe structure 7 according to the crop's growth period, automatically moving it to the depth of root growth to detect soil moisture and nutrients at that depth. The detected data can also be transmitted to the control center via the signal transceiver 3. The control center receives the soil information and then provides targeted watering and fertilization for the crops, making it more intelligent and enabling intelligent monitoring of different growth stages. The telescopic probe assembly 5 can match its extension length with the root growth depth value transmitted via the Internet through an encoder, achieving precise control of its extension length. The connecting wires on the multi-electrode integrated probe structure 7 are embedded in the telescopic probe assembly 5 to prevent damage to the wires when drilling into the soil. Their arrangement can be adjusted according to actual conditions, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0027] As shown in Figures 1-2, each of the four corners of the base 1 is provided with an anchor bolt 101 for fixing the device in a specific position.
[0028] The device can be easily fixed in a suitable position by using anchor bolts 101. The protective cover 2 can protect the first lead screw 402 and the second lead screw 403, thus preventing dust, dirt and impurities from splashing onto the first lead screw 402 and the second lead screw 403 and affecting their transmission accuracy.
[0029] As shown in Figure 2, the motor 401 is located at the top of the protective cover 2. The first lead screw 402 is connected to the main shaft end of the motor 401, and the second lead screw 403 is connected to the first lead screw 402, so it can rotate synchronously with the first lead screw 402.
[0030] The operation of motor 401 can drive the second lead screw 403 to rotate synchronously with the first lead screw 402, thus enabling the first-stage probe rod 501 and the second-stage probe rod 502 to extend and retract. Since the probe rod is divided into two stages, it can prevent bending when it descends to a deeper position.
[0031] As shown in Figure 2, the primary probe rod 501 is slidably disposed inside the protective cover 2 and is threadedly sleeved on the first lead screw 402. The secondary probe rod 502 is slidably disposed inside the primary probe rod 501 and is threadedly sleeved on the second lead screw 403.
[0032] As shown in Figures 2-4, the protective cover 2 and the first-stage probe rod 501 are both provided with sliding grooves 8 inside. The outer sides of the first-stage probe rod 501 and the second-stage probe rod 502 are provided with limiting sliders 801 that are adapted to slide in the sliding grooves 8. The base 1 and the first-stage probe rod 501 are both provided with scrapers 9 for cleaning the outer sides of the first-stage probe rod 501 and the second-stage probe rod 502.
[0033] The scraper 9 is designed to remove the soil adhering to the primary probe rod 501 and the secondary probe rod 502, thus preventing soil particles from entering the interior of the telescopic probe assembly 5.
[0034] As shown in Figure 4, a pressure sensor 6 is installed at the bottom of the secondary probe rod 502 for detecting soil hardness.
[0035] The pressure sensor 6 can detect the pressure value when the telescopic probe assembly 5 extends or retracts. When the pressure value reaches the set value, it indicates that a rock has been encountered, thus preventing it from continuing to descend and damaging the drive component 4.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The device is placed at a random sampling point, and then the anchor bolts 101 are inserted into the ground to fix the device. Based on the crop root growth data transmitted via the Internet, the encoder can control the drive component 4 to work, thereby achieving precise control of the extension length of the secondary probe rod 502. The multi-electrode integrated probe structure 7 can detect soil moisture and nutrient regulation, and transmit the detection results to the control center via the signal transceiver 3. The control center can then perform targeted watering and fertilization for soil regulation. During the extension and retraction of the telescopic probe assembly 5, when the pressure sensor 6 detects that the pressure value has reached the set value, it will send a signal to the external controller. The controller will then control the drive component 4 to stop working and send a signal to the control center to prompt the staff to adjust the position of the device in time.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
