When the humidity detection equipment needs to detect the humidity of some hard soil, the sleeve with helical blades can be installed on the outside of the detection probe, and a short tube is used to fix and tighten the sleeve. Then, the operator can rotate the detection probe by turning the handle and the short tube, which will also drive the sleeve with helical blades to rotate. The helical blades allow the detection probe to penetrate deeper into the soil more easily.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that multiple sets of limiting rods are provided on the outside of the detection probe, and multiple sets of limiting grooves matching the limiting rods are opened inside the sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, by setting a limiting rod and a limiting groove, the detection probe and the sleeve can be assembled, and the rotation of the detection probe can drive the sleeve to rotate.

[0011] Preferably, by matching the outer diameter of the casing with the diameter of the conical head, the edge of the conical head is flush with the outer wall of the casing, thus making it easier for the probe to penetrate the soil.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the humidity sensor is disposed inside the conical head.

[0013] Preferably, the soil moisture can be detected by setting a humidity sensor, such as a resistive humidity sensor or a capacitive humidity sensor.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that one end of the data cable is movably connected to the display device.

[0017] Preferably, by setting multiple sets of extension rods, the detection equipment as a whole can be extended, thereby detecting soil at greater distances or deeper depths.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that all of the extended rods and short tubes are hollow.

[0019] Preferably, the extension rod and the short tube are hollowed out so that the data cable can pass through them.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that the handle is provided in two sets, and the two sets of handles are arranged symmetrically.

[0021] Preferably, two sets of handles are provided to facilitate better rotation of the testing equipment by the staff.

[0022] The present invention is further configured such that the detection probe, conical head, limiting rod, sleeve, spiral blade, extension rod, short tube and handle are all made of stainless steel.

[0023] Preferably, the testing equipment is made of stainless steel to prevent corrosion by using stainless steel for the detection probe, conical head, limiting rod, sleeve, spiral blade, extension rod, short tube and handle.

[0024] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0025] 1. This utility model sets a limiting rod on the outside of the detection probe, so that a sleeve can be movably installed on the outside of the detection probe. The sleeve is equipped with helical blades. When the humidity detection equipment needs to detect the humidity of some hard soil, the sleeve with helical blades can be installed on the outside of the detection probe, and the sleeve can be fixed and pressed with a short tube. Then, the operator can rotate the detection probe by turning the handle and the short tube, which will also drive the sleeve with helical blades to rotate. The helical blades make it easier for the detection probe to penetrate into the soil.

[0026] 2. This utility model is composed of multiple sets of extension rods, short tubes, handles and threaded detection probes, which allows the detection probes to be extended to detect soil at distant locations or to detect the moisture content of deep soil. The extension rods, short tubes, handles and detection probes can be assembled and disassembled by threads, making the detection equipment more convenient to carry. Attached Figure Description

A handle 10 is threadedly connected to the side of the short tube 9. A limiting rod is installed on the outside of the detection probe 1. 3. Furthermore, a sleeve 5 can be movably installed on the outside of the detection probe 1. A spiral blade 7 is provided on the outside of the sleeve 5. When the humidity detection equipment needs to detect the humidity of some hard soil, the sleeve 5 with the spiral blade 7 can be installed on the outside of the detection probe 1, and the sleeve 5 can be fixed and pressed with a short pipe 9. Then, the operator can rotate the detection probe 1 by turning the handle 10 and the short pipe 9, which will also drive the sleeve 5 with the spiral blade 7 to rotate. The spiral blade 7 makes it easier for the detection probe 1 to penetrate into the soil.

[0037] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The detection probe 1 is provided with multiple sets of limiting rods 3 on its outside, and the sleeve 5 is provided with multiple sets of limiting grooves 6 that match the limiting rods 3 inside. By setting the limiting rods 3 and the limiting grooves 6, the detection probe 1 and the sleeve 5 can be assembled, and the rotation of the detection probe 1 can drive the sleeve 5 to rotate.

[0038] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 1 - Figure 3The outer diameter of the casing 5 is matched with the diameter of the conical head 2. By matching the outer diameter of the casing 5 with the diameter of the conical head 2, the edge of the conical head 2 is flush with the outer wall of the casing 5, thus making it easier for the probe rod 1 to penetrate into the soil.

[0039] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 1 The humidity sensor is located inside the conical head 2. By setting a humidity sensor, such as a resistive humidity sensor or a capacitive humidity sensor, the humidity of the soil can be detected.

[0040] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 1 One end of the data cable 4 is movably connected to the display device. By setting the display device and the data cable 4 to be connected, the display device can calculate the soil moisture data from the data fed back by the humidity sensor.

[0041] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The extension rod 8 is provided in multiple sets, and the multiple sets of extension rods 8 are connected to each other by threads. By setting multiple sets of extension rods 8, the detection equipment as a whole can be extended, thereby detecting soil at a greater distance or deeper.

[0042] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Multiple sets of extension rods 8 and short tubes 9 are hollow, so that the data cable 4 can pass through the extension rods 8 and short tubes 9.

By using stainless steel to manufacture the detection probe 1, conical head 2, limiting rod 3, sleeve 5, spiral blade 7, extension rod 8, short tube 9, and handle 10, the detection equipment can be protected from rust.

[0045] In practical operation, when workers need to test the moisture content of hard soil, the sleeve 5 is first fitted over the outside of the detection probe 1. During fitting, it is essential to ensure that the limiting groove 6 of the sleeve 5 and the limiting rod 3 of the detection probe 1 are aligned. Then, an extension rod 8 is selected based on the measurement distance. The data cable 4 at the end of the detection probe 1 is passed through the extension rod 8. The extension rod 8 and the detection probe 1 are then screwed together. Next, the data cable 4 is passed through the short tube 9, and the short tube 9 and the extension rod 8 are screwed together. Two sets of handles 10 are also screwed onto the outside of the short tube 9. After the moisture detection device is assembled, workers can rotate it into the soil. The data cable 4 is then connected to the display device. Through the detection of a moisture sensor, such as a resistive sensor or a capacitive sensor, the display device can obtain the soil moisture data.
