AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing soil moisture monitoring instruments require manual soil removal when collecting soil samples using ordinary collectors, and residual moisture in the chamber affects subsequent test results and reduces efficiency.

Method used

The system employs a combination of rotating gear ring, rotating gear, connecting gear ring, and connecting gear to achieve clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the Q-shaped collection chamber. Combined with a condensate drying box, the collection chamber is dried after the soil is discharged to prevent residual moisture from affecting the next test.

Benefits of technology

The system automatically discharges the soil after testing, keeping the collection chamber dry and preventing soil accumulation and moisture residue from affecting subsequent testing, thus improving testing efficiency.

Abstract

This utility model discloses an automatic soil moisture monitoring instrument, relating to the technical field of moisture monitoring instruments. It includes: a connecting bracket, with a rotating guide rod rotatably connected inside the connecting bracket via bearings; a Q-shaped collection chamber, with multiple Q-shaped collection chambers fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer wall of the rotating guide rod, all located below the connecting bracket; and a transmission chamber, with multiple transmission chambers rotatably connected at equal intervals to the outer wall of the rotating guide rod via bearings. This automatic soil moisture monitoring instrument utilizes the rotating gear ring, rotating gear, connecting gear ring, and connecting gear in the collection assembly to achieve soil discharge and collection through clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the Q-shaped collection chambers. This avoids soil accumulation in the Q-shaped collection chambers after testing, preventing it from affecting subsequent testing. Simultaneously, a condensate drying chamber is used to dry the residual moisture in the Q-shaped collection chambers after soil discharge, preventing it from affecting the results of subsequent tests.
