[0004] Sensors are used to monitor soil moisture in greenhouses, with needle sensors inserted into the soil for detection. However, the insertion distance of the needle sensor into the soil is difficult to control; it is basically inserted all the way to the bottom, resulting in a relatively single monitoring point and thus relatively limited data.
[0005] In view of this, we provide a support bracket for a greenhouse soil moisture monitoring sensor. Utility Model Content

[0027] 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.
[0028] The present invention provides two embodiments.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A support for a greenhouse soil moisture monitoring sensor includes a base 100, a connecting plate 200, and a stage guide structure 400. The connecting plate 200 is longitudinally fixed on the base 100, the stage guide structure 400 is set on the connecting plate 200, and the clamp 500 for holding the sensor moves longitudinally with the stage guide structure 400 as the carrier.
[0031] The stage guide structure 400 includes a track 401, a slider 402, a connecting block A403, and a connecting block B404. The track 401 is fixed on the connecting plate 200, the slider 402 is slidably disposed on the track 401, the connecting block A403 is fixed to the slider 402, and the connecting block B404 is disposed between the connecting block A403 and the clamp 500 for fixation. The connecting block A403 is provided with an abutting spring 405, which abuts against the abutting groove 201 opened on the connecting plate 200.
[0032] The base 100 is placed on the ground, and the needle sensor is clamped on the fixture 500. The operator moves the vertical needle sensor down, and the fixture 500 moves the connecting block B404, connecting block A403 and slider 402 down together. The slider 402 slides down along the track 401, and the abutting spring 405 abuts against the abutting groove 201 at different heights in sequence. After the abutting spring 405 abuts in the corresponding abutting groove 201, without the action of external force, the needle sensor is held at the corresponding height. By limiting the needle sensor at different heights, the depth of the needle sensor inserted into the soil is controllable and different, and data is collected at different depths in the soil.
[0033] This utility model, by setting up a track 401, a slider 402, a connecting block A403, a connecting block B404, an abutment spring 405, and an abutment groove 201, has the advantages of adjusting the height of the needle sensor, controlling and varying the depth of the needle sensor inserted into the soil, and collecting data at different depths in the soil. It solves the problem that the insertion distance of the needle sensor into the soil is difficult to control, and it is basically inserted all the way to the bottom, resulting in a relatively single monitoring point and thus relatively simple data.
[0034] In this embodiment, a plurality of inserts 300 are fixed at the bottom of the base 100 and positioned in the soil. After the base 100 is placed on the land, the inserts 300 are inserted into the soil and the base 100 is placed stably.
[0035] In this embodiment, the abutment spring 405 is arc-shaped, and the arched end of the abutment spring 405 is adapted to the abutment groove 201. The arc-shaped abutment spring 405 can be better bent and adapt to movement when it is squeezed by the connecting plate 200 as it moves with the connecting block A403.
[0036] In this embodiment, the slider 402 is I-shaped and slides stably on the track 401.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] Please see Figure 4 A support bracket for a greenhouse soil moisture monitoring sensor, the clamp 500 includes a connecting block C501, the connecting block C501 is fixed to the connecting block B404, and the two ends of the connecting block C501 are respectively connected to clamps 502 by torsion springs 503.
[0039] When clamping the pin sensor, the operator presses one end of the two clamping plates 502 against each other with their hands. With the help of the torsion spring 503, the two clamping plates 502 form a V-shape. The clamping part of the pin sensor is placed between the two clamping plates 502. Then the clamping plates 502 are released. Under the action of the torsion spring 503, the two clamping plates 502 rotate until the two clamping plates 502 clamp the clamping part of the pin sensor.
[0040] This utility model, by setting up connecting block C501, connecting block B404 and torsion spring 503, has the advantage of facilitating the clamping and releasing of the needle sensor.
[0041] In this embodiment, the spring constant of the torsion spring 503 shall be selected and used by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.
[0042] In this embodiment, soft pads 504 are fixed on opposite sides of the two clamping plates 502. When clamping the needle sensor, the soft pads 504 contact the needle sensor without damaging it. The reaction force generated by the squeezed soft pads 504 holds the needle sensor in place, ensuring stable clamping.
[0043] Working principle: The base 100 is placed on the ground, and the insertion strip 300 is inserted into the soil. When clamping the needle sensor, the operator presses one end of the two clamping plates 502 against each other with his hand. With the help of the torsion spring 503, the two clamping plates 502 are in a figure-eight shape. The clamping part of the needle sensor is placed between the two clamping plates 502. Then the clamping plates 502 are released. Under the action of the torsion spring 503, the two clamping plates 502 rotate until the two soft pads 504 clamp the clamping part of the needle sensor.
[0044] The staff lowered the vertical needle sensor, and the clamp 500 moved the connecting block B404, connecting block A403 and slider 402 down together. The slider 402 slid down along the track 401 and the abutting spring 405 abutted the abutting groove 201 at different heights in sequence. After the abutting spring 405 abutted in the corresponding abutting groove 201, without the action of external force, the needle sensor was kept at the corresponding height and the needle sensor was inserted into the soil to the corresponding depth for monitoring.
[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
