Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of soil moisture detection equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated soil moisture sensor device. Background Technology

[0002] In numerous fields such as agricultural production, ecological environment monitoring, and geological research, accurate soil moisture detection remains a crucial step. From an agricultural perspective, soil moisture directly affects crop growth, development, and final yield. Appropriate soil moisture provides crops with sufficient water, ensuring successful seed germination and robust plant growth. However, traditional soil moisture detection methods, such as manual judgment or simple fixed-point measurements, are insufficient in accuracy and timeliness to meet the demands of modern agriculture's precision and intelligent development.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following shortcomings: Existing devices lack sufficient detection accuracy; the humidity detection elements they employ have low sensitivity, making it difficult to accurately capture subtle changes in soil moisture, and thus unable to provide high-precision data for agricultural production and scientific research experiments with stringent soil moisture requirements. They also lack adjustable detection depth functionality; the detection rod length is fixed, allowing detection only at a specific depth. Furthermore, they cannot comprehensively reflect the vertical distribution of soil moisture, limiting their application range. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figures 2 to 4The first telescopic assembly 31, the second telescopic assembly 32, and the third telescopic assembly 33 also include a spring 310, a positioning ring 311, a slider 312, an eccentric rod 313, a first longitudinal slide groove 314, a transverse slide groove 315, and a second longitudinal slide groove 316. The spring 310 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 2. The bottom of the spring 310 is fixedly connected to the positioning ring 311. The bottom of the positioning ring 311 is movably connected to the eccentric rod 313. The slider 312 is fixedly connected to one side of the eccentric rod 313.

[0027] The slider 312 is movably connected inside the first longitudinal slide groove 314, the transverse slide groove 315 and the second longitudinal slide groove 316, and the eccentric rod 313 is movably sleeved inside the eccentric hole at the top of the main rod 301.

[0028] The humidity detector 308 is electrically connected to the control module 1 through the sensor line 307. The distance from the positioning plate 304 to the bottom of the main rod 301 is equal to the height of the humidity detector 308.

[0029] The positioning ring 311 is movably sleeved inside the eccentric hole at the top of the main rod 301, and the length of the first longitudinal groove 314 is equal to the extension length of the eccentric rod 313.

[0030] The three-section telescopic assembly 33 is located inside the two-section telescopic assembly 32, which is located inside the one-section telescopic assembly 31. The humidity detectors 308 inside the one-section telescopic assembly 31, the two-section telescopic assembly 32, and the three-section telescopic assembly 33 are all electrically connected to the control module 1.

[0031] Further explanation is needed:

[0032] Firstly, at the detection function level, sensor component 3 is the core for achieving accurate soil moisture detection. Its internal moisture detector 308, as a key component directly sensing soil moisture, converts the moisture content in the soil into an electrical signal. The air outlet cavity 303, positioning plate 304, and air outlet 305 work together, employing a clever gas exchange design to allow the moisture detector 308 to more accurately sense water vapor in the soil. This ensures the accuracy and reliability of the detection data, providing a solid data foundation for subsequent analysis and decision-making.

[0033] Secondly, from the perspective of structural support and adaptation, the design of sensor assembly 3 is ingenious. The first telescopic assembly 31, the second telescopic assembly 32, and the third telescopic assembly 33 are nested together. Through the coordinated operation of spring 310, positioning ring 311, slider 312, eccentric rod 313, and the first longitudinal groove 314, transverse groove 315, and second longitudinal groove 316 on the main rod 301, adjustable telescopic functionality is achieved. This allows sensor assembly 3 to flexibly adapt to soil detection needs at different depths, accurately acquiring moisture information in both shallow and deep soil layers. Simultaneously, the main rod 301 is fixed to the bottom of the base 2, providing a stable support structure for the entire sensor assembly 3, ensuring smooth detection operations even in complex soil environments.

[0034] Finally, regarding data transmission and interaction, sensor line 307 acts as a bridge connecting humidity detector 308 and control module 1, rapidly and stably transmitting the detected humidity electrical signal to control module 1. Upon receiving the data, control module 1 can analyze and process it, thereby achieving real-time monitoring and assessment of soil moisture conditions, and even triggering corresponding control actions based on preset conditions, such as starting or stopping an automatic irrigation system. Sensor component 3 plays a crucial role in data acquisition and initial transmission throughout the entire data transmission and interaction process, and is an important link in realizing intelligent soil moisture monitoring and management.

[0035] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0036] First, the control module 1 is fixedly connected to the base 2, completing the basic hardware assembly. As the core control unit of the entire device, the control module 1 undergoes initialization operations, such as self-testing and parameter calibration, to ensure its normal functioning and prepare for subsequent data reception and processing. Simultaneously, the sensor assembly 3 is installed on one side of the base 2, with the main rod 301 fixed to the bottom of the base 2, putting the entire sensor assembly 3 into a ready-to-operate state.

[0037] Secondly, the telescopic structure of sensor assembly 3 is used for adjustment according to the actual soil testing depth requirements. The first telescopic assembly 31, the second telescopic assembly 32, and the third telescopic assembly 33 achieve free extension and retraction through the coordinated action of spring 310, positioning ring 311, slider 312, eccentric rod 313, and the first longitudinal groove 314, transverse groove 315, and second longitudinal groove 316 on the main rod 301. Spring 310 provides the elastic force for extension and retraction, positioning ring 311 assists in the positioning and movement of eccentric rod 313, and slider 312 slides within the groove to guide eccentric rod 313 along a specific track, thereby extending the detection rod body 302 into the appropriate soil depth.

[0038] Next, once the detection rod body 302 reaches the designated soil depth, humidity detection begins. Water vapor in the soil enters the vent cavity 303 through the vent 305. The humidity detector 308 senses the water vapor content within the vent cavity 303 and converts it into an electrical signal. The positioning plate 304 not only separates and supports the vent cavity 303 but also ensures that the humidity detector 308 is in the correct position for stable detection. The adapter block 306 ensures a secure connection between the humidity detector 308 and the sensor circuitry 307.

[0039] Next, the humidity detector 308 transmits the converted electrical signal to the control module 1 through the sensor line 307. The sensor line 307, serving as the signal transmission channel, ensures stable and rapid data transmission, avoids signal interference and loss, and enables the control module 1 to accurately receive real-time soil moisture data.

[0040] Finally, control module 1 analyzes and processes the received humidity data, determining whether the soil moisture is within a suitable range based on preset programs and algorithms. These processing results can be used in various practical applications. For example, in agriculture, they can control the opening and closing of irrigation systems based on soil moisture conditions to achieve precision irrigation; the data can also be uploaded to a monitoring platform to provide researchers with research data, helping to analyze soil moisture change patterns and guide agricultural production and land resource management.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
