[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-4 ,in, Figure 1 A front view schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the soil planting structure monitoring and management device provided by this utility model; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the front cross-sectional structure of a preferred embodiment of the soil planting structure monitoring and management device provided by this utility model; Figure 3 This is a top view of the cleaning plate in this utility model. Figure 4 for Figure 1 The diagram shows an enlarged view of part A.
[0022] The soil planting structure monitoring and management device includes: a storage box 1; a fixed frame 2 fixed to one side of the storage box 1; an adjustable frame 3 slidably mounted on the fixed frame 2; a soil moisture sensor 4 mounted on the adjustable frame 3 for detecting the soil planting structure status; an electric telescopic rod 5 fixed on the fixed frame 2 for adjusting the height of the soil moisture sensor 4, the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 5 being connected to the adjustable frame 3 via a coupling; and a cleaning plate 6 mounted on the adjustable frame 3 for cleaning the soil moisture sensor 4. The device comprises the storage box 1, fixed frame 2, adjustable frame 3, soil moisture sensor 4, and electric telescopic rod 5 (in the name LINAK). Taking the LA14 electric push rod as an example, along with the cleaning plate 6, the device effectively monitors the soil planting structure and protects the sensor. The storage box 1 provides stable support for the device. The fixed frame 2 and the adjusting frame 3 work together. The electric telescopic rod 5 drives the adjusting frame 3 to slide, which can flexibly adjust the height of the soil moisture sensor 4, allowing it to be inserted into the soil at different depths for fertility and moisture monitoring, meeting diverse monitoring needs. At the same time, since the soil moisture sensor 4 is prone to corrosion and damage after being inserted underground for a long time, the cleaning plate 6 can clean its surface during the sensor's lifting and lowering process, removing attached debris and corrosive substances, reducing the risk of corrosion, and extending the sensor's service life.
[0023] An isolation box 8 is fixed inside the storage tank 1. On both sides of the isolation box 8 are a water storage tank for storing irrigation water and a fertilizer storage tank for storing fertilizer solution. A water pump 9 is installed inside the isolation box 8. An inlet pipe 10, a three-way connector, is installed at the inlet end of the water pump 9, extending into both the water and fertilizer storage tanks. A drain pipe 11, extending outside the storage tank 1, is installed at the outlet end of the water pump 9. A branch pipe 12 is provided on the drain pipe 11, and a nozzle 13 is installed on the branch pipe 12. By setting up the isolation box 8 inside the storage tank 1, and the water and fertilizer storage tanks on both sides of the isolation box 8, centralized storage of the liquids required for irrigation and fertilization is achieved. The water pump 9 installed inside the isolation box 8 (taking the QDX10-15-0.75 small submersible pump as an example), together with the three-way design of the liquid inlet pipe 10, can flexibly extract liquid from the water storage tank or fertilizer storage tank, realizing the integrated operation of irrigation and fertilization. The water pump 9 delivers the liquid to the outside of the storage box 1 through the drain pipe 11, and then sprays it evenly through the nozzles 13 on the branch pipe 12, making irrigation and fertilization more precise and efficient. This setting not only simplifies the agricultural operation process and reduces labor costs, but also ensures that crops can obtain the required water and nutrients in a timely manner, improving the utilization rate of water resources and fertilizers. At the same time, integrating irrigation and fertilization equipment into the storage box 1 saves space and facilitates movement and management.
[0024] Both the storage box 1 and the fixing frame 2 are equipped with support legs 14 at their bottoms to support the storage box 1. A movable wheel 15 is rotatably mounted on each support leg 14. A motor 16 for driving the movable wheel 15 is fixed to any one of the support legs 14. The output shaft of the motor 16 is connected to the movable wheel 15 via a coupling. By setting up support legs 14 at the bottom of the storage box 1 and the fixing frame 2, rotatably mounting movable wheels 15 on the support legs 14, and fixing a motor 16 to any one of the support legs 14 with the output shaft of the motor 16 connected to the movable wheel 15 via a coupling, the device achieves [the desired effect]. The device offers convenient mobility and flexible deployment. The motor 16 drives the rotating wheels 15, enabling the entire soil planting structure monitoring and management device to move easily between farmlands without the need for laborious manual handling, greatly improving work efficiency. This design allows for rapid transfer of the device between different monitoring areas, meeting the demands of modern agriculture for equipment flexibility and mobility. At the same time, the design of the rotating wheels 15 also allows the device to travel stably in complex terrain, ensuring the smooth progress of monitoring work. In addition, the motor 16 (taking QS2738000W as an example) reduces labor costs and improves the convenience and safety of operation.
[0025] The support leg 14 is fixed with a retaining ring that is locked outside the drain pipe 11. The retaining ring is used to stabilize the drain pipe 11. The cleaning plate 6 is provided with a cleaning port that is fitted outside the cone rod of the soil moisture sensor 4. The cleaning port is provided with a silicone ring 7 for scraping off sludge. By setting the retaining ring fixed on the support leg 14 and locking it outside the drain pipe 11, the drain pipe 11 is stabilized. The cleaning plate 6 is provided with a cleaning port that is fitted outside the cone rod of the soil moisture sensor 4. The silicone ring 7 is provided inside the cleaning port, which realizes the cleaning of the cone rod of the soil moisture sensor 4. During the sensor's lifting and lowering process, the silicone ring 7 can scrape off the sludge attached to the surface of the cone rod, preventing the sludge from affecting the sensor's detection accuracy, extending the sensor's service life, and ensuring the accuracy of each detection data, making the monitoring of soil planting structure more reliable.
[0026] The storage tank 1 is equipped with an observation window 17 for indicating the water level. The top of the storage tank 1 is equipped with a filling port for providing a liquid replenishment channel. A filter screen 18 for filtering irrigation water and fertilizer water is movably placed inside the filling port. By setting up the observation window 17 on the storage tank 1, the water level can be intuitively indicated. The staff can check the remaining liquid in the water storage tank and fertilizer storage tank at any time through the observation window 17 so as to arrange replenishment in time and avoid affecting irrigation and fertilization operations due to insufficient liquid, thus ensuring the continuity of agricultural production. The filling port on the top of the storage tank 1 provides a convenient liquid replenishment channel. When the liquid is found to be insufficient, the operator can quickly add irrigation water or fertilizer water through the filling port. The operation is simple and efficient. The filter screen 18 movably placed inside the filling port plays a filtering role. When replenishing liquid, the filter screen 18 can intercept impurities and particles in the water, preventing them from entering the storage tank 1 and clogging the pipes or damaging equipment such as the water pump 9, thus extending the service life of the device and reducing maintenance costs.
[0027] The inlet pipe 10 is equipped with a regulating valve for adjusting the liquid extraction position. The top of the filter bag 18 is fitted with a limiting ring that contacts the top of the storage tank 1 to stabilize the filter bag 18. By setting the regulating valve on the inlet pipe 10, the liquid extraction position can be flexibly adjusted. In actual operation, the proportion and flow rate of liquid extracted from the water storage tank or fertilizer storage tank can be controlled by the regulating valve according to different crop growth stages or soil conditions, so as to realize on-demand irrigation and fertilization, avoid resource waste, improve water and fertilizer utilization efficiency, meet the diverse needs of crops, and promote healthy crop growth. The limiting ring installed on the top of the filter bag 18, which contacts the top of the storage tank 1, stabilizes the filter bag 18. The limiting ring can prevent the filter bag 18 from shifting due to liquid impact or human operation during the feeding process, ensuring that the filter bag 18 is always in the appropriate position, continuously performing the filtration function, effectively intercepting impurities, preventing them from entering the storage tank 1, ensuring the cleanliness of the device, extending the service life of the equipment, and reducing the risk of failure caused by impurities clogging.
[0028] A U-shaped plate 20 is installed on the top of the storage box 1. A limiting wheel 21 is rotatably installed inside the U-shaped plate 20. A guide rod 19 for limiting the movement path of the equipment is movably engaged inside the limiting wheel 21. The guide rod 19 is installed in the plantation. By setting the U-shaped plate 20 installed on the top of the storage box 1 and the limiting wheel 21 rotatably installed inside the U-shaped plate 20, and making the limiting wheel 21 movably engaged on the guide rod 19 installed in the plantation, the effect of limiting the movement path of the equipment is achieved. In practical applications, when the device moves in the plantation to perform soil monitoring, irrigation and fertilization, the cooperation between the guide rod 19 and the limiting wheel 21 can ensure that the device moves stably along the preset path, avoiding deviation or collision with obstacles, improving the accuracy and safety of the equipment movement. This allows the device to efficiently complete various tasks according to the planned route, ensuring the orderly progress of soil planting structure monitoring and management, improving work efficiency and quality, and also reducing the risk of damage caused by improper equipment movement.
[0029] It is worth noting that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.
[0030] The working principle of the soil planting structure monitoring and management device provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0031] This solution also includes an electrical control cabinet, which is installed on the equipment. During use, each piece of electrical equipment can be started and operated separately through the electrical control cabinet. The power connection method of each piece of electrical equipment is an existing mature technology and is well known to those in the field, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0032] In use, the electric telescopic rod 5 is activated via the electrical control cabinet. The output rod of the electric telescopic rod 5 extends and retracts, causing the adjusting frame 3 to slide on the fixed frame 2, thereby adjusting the height of the soil moisture sensor 4 installed on the adjusting frame 3, so that it can be inserted into the soil to monitor the soil fertility, moisture, and other planting structure conditions. During the raising and lowering of the soil moisture sensor 4, the silicone ring 7 on the cleaning plate 6 is fitted over the cone of the soil moisture sensor 4 to scrape off the mud attached to the cone surface, preventing the mud from affecting the sensor's detection accuracy. The water pump 9 is activated via the electrical control cabinet. According to actual needs, the regulating valve on the liquid inlet pipe 10 is adjusted to control the proportion and flow rate of liquid drawn from the water storage tank or fertilizer storage tank. The water pump 9 draws the corresponding liquid through the liquid inlet pipe 10 and then through the liquid outlet pipe 1. 1. The solution is transported to the outside of storage tank 1 and sprayed evenly by nozzles 13 on the branch pipe 12, realizing the integrated operation of irrigation and fertilization. The motor 16 is started by the electrical control cabinet. The output shaft of the motor 16 rotates and drives the moving wheel 15 to rotate, so that the whole device moves in the plantation. During the movement, the limiting wheel 21 installed in the U-shaped plate 20 on the top of storage tank 1 rolls along the guide rod 19 installed in the plantation, limiting the movement path of the equipment and ensuring that the device moves stably along the preset path. The staff can check the liquid level in the water storage tank and fertilizer storage tank through the observation window 17. When the liquid is insufficient, irrigation water or fertilizer water is added from the feeding port. The filter bag 18 placed in the feeding port intercepts impurities and particles in the water to prevent them from entering the storage tank 1.

The cleaning plate 6 can clean the sensor, reduce the risk of corrosion, and extend its service life. The storage box 1 has a water storage compartment and a fertilizer storage compartment on both sides of the isolation box 8. With the help of a water pump 9, an inlet pipe 10, an outlet pipe 11, a branch pipe 12, and a nozzle 13, liquid can be flexibly extracted to realize the integration of irrigation and fertilization, simplify the operation process, improve resource utilization, save space, and facilitate movement and management.
