Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil monitoring technology for dried tangerine peel, and in particular to a soil monitoring device specifically designed for dried tangerine peel. Background Technology
[0002] Chenpi, a Chinese medicine, is the dried, mature peel of the citrus fruit and its cultivated varieties, belonging to the Rutaceae family. The medicinal material is divided into "Chenpi" and "Guangchenpi". Mature fruits are harvested, the peel is removed, and then dried in the sun or at low temperature. Chenpi belongs to the Citrus genus. During the citrus planting process, soil monitoring is required to ensure the health of the citrus peel.
[0003] However, existing methods for soil monitoring of Citrus species are not convenient for collecting soil samples at different depths. If the sampling tool is inserted into the soil for a period of time and then removed, the pits in the soil may collapse. If soil sampling is still required later, it may cause deviations in the depth of soil sampling. It is also inconvenient to fertilize and water the soil around the roots and stems of Citrus species. Furthermore, it is not convenient to monitor the bottom of Citrus leaves, as insects or insect eggs may be attached to the bottom of the leaves. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, a soil monitoring device for dried tangerine peel includes a vertical cylinder 1. Several through grooves are opened on the outer edge of the vertical cylinder 1, and inclined plates 9 are fixedly connected in each through groove. The inclined plates 9 are arranged in a circular array with the center of the vertical cylinder 1 as the center. A movable plate 2 is attached to the top of the vertical cylinder 1. A vertical rod 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the movable plate 2. A movable cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical rod 5. The movable cylinder 8 is located in the inner cavity of the vertical cylinder 1 near the bottom. A threaded hole is opened at the bottom of the vertical cylinder 1. A threaded rod 6 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole. A shovel 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 6.
[0028] A handle 4 is fixedly connected to the top center of the movable plate 2. A groove is opened on the top of the handle 4, and a camera 14 is fixedly connected in the groove. Four L-shaped plates 10 are provided near the top of the outer edge of the vertical cylinder 1. Each L-shaped plate 10 has a hinge 12 on one side. The L-shaped plates 10 are movably connected to the outer edge of the vertical cylinder 1 through the hinge 12. Four first connecting slots are opened on the top of the movable plate 2. A second magnet 13 is fixedly connected in each of the first connecting slots. A second connecting slot is opened on the side of the L-shaped plate 10 near the second magnet 13. A first magnet 11 is fixedly connected in each of the second connecting slots. Adjacent first magnets 11 and second magnets 13 are fitted together. Four L-shaped rods 7 are fixedly connected near the top of the outer edge of the vertical cylinder 1. Two arc-shaped grooves are opened on the top of the movable plate 2.
[0029] Working Principle: When in use, the device functions as a shovel 3. The threaded rod 6 at the top of the shovel 3 is rotated into the threaded hole at the bottom of the vertical cylinder 1 to install the shovel 3. Holding the vertical cylinder 1, the shovel 3 can be used to remove weeds around the citrus trees. When soil sampling is needed, the vertical cylinder 1 is placed in the soil near the citrus roots, buried within the soil. The operator rotates the L-shaped rod 7, which rotates the vertical cylinder 1. The vertical cylinder 1 then rotates the inclined plate 9, whose length extends beyond the surface of the vertical cylinder 1. The inclined plate 9 then samples some soil into the vertical cylinder 1 and into the movable cylinder 8. After soil is collected, the L-shaped plate 10 is swung. The L-shaped plate 10 rotates via the hinge 12, causing the first magnet 11 to swing away from the second magnet 13. The operator moves the handle 4 upwards, which in turn moves the vertical rod 5 and the movable cylinder 8 upwards via the movable plate 2. This allows for soil sampling inside the movable cylinder 8 to monitor the presence of nutrients at different depths. Simultaneously, when watering and fertilizing the citrus, water is poured into the vertical cylinder 1. Since the vertical cylinder 1 is buried in the soil, the water can reach the soil around the citrus roots, facilitating absorption by the citrus. The camera 14 at the top of the handle 4 can monitor the bottom of the citrus leaves to detect the presence of insects or insect eggs.
[0030] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0031] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
