Medicinal plant cultivation environment monitoring device

Abstract

This utility model provides a monitoring device for the planting environment of medicinal plants, belonging to the technical field of plant growth environment measurement devices. It includes a supporting mechanism comprising a supporting outer tube and a positioning component disposed on the outside of the supporting outer tube. This utility model eliminates electrochemical corrosion through the non-metallic properties of the hollow spiral ceramic sleeve. Its spiral groove structure generates a centrifugal erosion effect when the rotating rod rotates, continuously removing deposits from the electrode surface. The synchronously moving cutting blade actively cuts off invading fine roots. For the maintenance of moving parts, the air pressure driven mechanism's wind-powered self-cleaning system provides dual protection. The continuous rotation of the wind direction and speed measuring cover creates an airflow barrier at the bearing area, preventing sand and dust deposition. The reinforced three-dimensional structure of the mesh frame physically isolates pests from approaching. The periodic reciprocating motion of the adaptive elastic component further disrupts the mesh formation conditions, effectively solving the problems of mechanical impact, root entanglement, and siltation faced by traditional agricultural monitoring devices.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of plant growth environment measurement devices, specifically relating to a monitoring device for the planting environment of medicinal plants. Background Technology

[0002] A medicinal plant cultivation environment monitoring device is an intelligent device used to monitor the growth environment of medicinal plants in real time. It typically includes sensors for temperature, humidity, light, and soil parameters (such as moisture, pH, and nutrients), combined with a data acquisition and transmission module, to help growers precisely control environmental conditions and ensure the quality of medicinal materials.

[0003] Currently, after long-term burial, the metal electrodes of soil probes are prone to forming an oxide layer or being wrapped by fine roots, which leads to impedance changes and affects the accuracy of conductivity detection. At the same time, the mechanical moving parts of open-air meteorological sensors (such as wind vane bearings and tipping bucket rain gauge shafts) may experience intermittent jamming due to sand and dust accumulation or insect infestation. These problems do not show obvious fault symptoms in the early stages, but will gradually lead to data fluctuations or deviations, and conventional cleaning and maintenance are difficult to completely solve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a monitoring device for the cultivation environment of medicinal plants, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. Example

[0028] Reference Figures 1-5 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a monitoring device for the cultivation environment of medicinal plants, including,

[0029] The supporting mechanism 100 includes a supporting outer pipe 110, a positioning component 120 disposed on the outside of the supporting outer pipe 110, a thickened pipe sleeve 130 fixedly installed at the bottom of the supporting outer pipe 110, and a mud discharge port 140 opened on the outside of the thickened pipe sleeve 130.

[0030] The pneumatic drive mechanism 200 includes a rotating rod 210 movably inserted into the inner cavity of the supporting outer tube 110, a limiting buckle 220 movably sleeved on the top of the rotating rod 210, a wind direction and speed measuring cover 230 fixedly installed on the outside of the limiting buckle 220, a reinforcing mesh frame 240 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 210, and an adaptive elastic component 250 disposed at the bottom of the reinforcing mesh frame 240.

[0031] The design of the bearing mechanism 100 and the pneumatic drive mechanism 200 achieves stable support and dynamic environmental adaptability for the overall structure of the device. The outer support pipe 110 and the thickened pipe sleeve 130 form a graded load-bearing system, which effectively disperses soil pressure. The positioning component 120 provides multi-directional fixing points to enhance wind resistance. The mud discharge port 140 can avoid structural jamming caused by siltation. The pneumatic drive mechanism 200 uses wind power to automatically adjust the monitoring height. The linkage design of the rotating rod 210 and the reinforced grid 240 achieves low-friction movement while ensuring structural strength. The streamlined structure of the wind direction and speed measuring cover 230 significantly improves wind energy capture efficiency.

[0032] Specifically, the adaptive elastic component 250 includes a plate 251 fixedly installed in a ring at the bottom of the reinforcing mesh frame 240, a limiting groove 252 opened at the bottom of the plate 251, and a slider 253 movably locked in the inner cavity of the limiting groove 252. The adaptive elastic component 250 also includes a return spring 254 fixedly installed on the outside of the slider 253, a limiting sleeve 255 movably sleeved on the outside of the plate 251 and fixedly connected to the outside of the slider 253, and a baffle 256 fixedly installed on the outside of the limiting sleeve 255.

[0033] The adaptive elastic component 250 forms a three-dimensional dynamic buffer system through the precise cooperation between the plate 251 and the limiting channel 252. The multi-degree-of-freedom movement of the slider 253 in the limiting channel 252 can effectively absorb the impact force generated by farming machinery or animal activities. Its unique asymmetric track design enables the device to automatically correct its posture when subjected to lateral force, avoiding the distortion of monitoring data caused by the displacement of the sensor 270 due to external force. The reset spring 254 and the limiting sleeve 255 constitute a dual elastic recovery mechanism. When the device is subjected to instantaneous impact, the baffle 256 first contacts the obstacle and triggers the displacement of the limiting sleeve 255. The impact energy is consumed by the progressive compression spring, which is suitable for the frequent human and machine operation environment in the medicinal field. After completing the impact buffering, it can accurately restore the initial position to ensure the spatial consistency of the monitoring data.

[0034] Furthermore, the pneumatic drive mechanism 200 also includes a cutting blade 260 fixedly installed at the bottom of the limiting slide sleeve 255, a sensor 270 fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 210, and a hollow spiral ceramic sleeve 280 fixedly installed at the bottom of the sensor 270.

[0035] Among them, the cutting blade 260 and the hollow spiral ceramic sleeve 280 form a collaborative protection system. During the rotation and pressing process, the blade can cut off the entangled root system, while the spiral groove of the ceramic sleeve guides the chips to be discharged from the mud discharge port 140. The sensor 270 is suspended and the centrifugal motion of the rotating rod 210 regularly removes the surface deposits, significantly reducing the frequency of manual maintenance.

[0036] Preferably, the positioning assembly 120 includes a fixing ring 121 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the supporting outer tube 110, a groove 122 formed on the outside of the fixing ring 121, and a shaft 123 hinged in the inner cavity of the groove 122. The positioning assembly 120 also includes a support rope 124 fixedly installed on the outside of the shaft 123, and a pin 125 fixedly installed on the end of the support rope 124.

[0037] The positioning component 120 achieves stepless adjustment of the support angle through the hinged design of the fixing ring 121 and the shaft 123. The universal joint structure set in the groove 122 allows the device to adapt to planting terrain with different slopes. The prestressed arrangement of the support ropes 124 allows for moderate deformation while ensuring positioning accuracy, avoiding structural damage caused by soil settlement. The pins 125 adopt a progressive anchoring design, and their surface texture matches the elastic modulus of the support ropes 124, maintaining a constant grip force during soil wet-dry cycles. The distributed arrangement of the support ropes 124 forms a spatial tension network, effectively suppressing resonance phenomena of the device under extreme weather conditions and improving the overall structural reliability.

[0038] Furthermore, the bearing mechanism 100 also includes a protective cylinder 150 fixedly installed at the bottom of the thickened sleeve 130, and a detection window 160 disposed on the outside of the protective cylinder 150.

[0039] The protective cylinder 150 and the detection window 160 constitute a modular protection system. The gradual wall thickness design optimizes stress distribution. The oblique opening of the detection window 160 ensures both the monitoring field of view and prevents rainwater backflow, so that the sensor 270 can obtain sufficient physical protection without affecting its sensitivity to environmental parameters such as light, temperature and humidity.

[0040] In use, the device is first anchored securely in the planting area by the pins 125 and support ropes 124 of the positioning component 120. When the ambient wind force acts on the wind direction and speed measuring cover 230, the drive rod 210 rotates and rises within the support outer tube 110, causing the sensor 270 to adjust to the optimal monitoring height. During operation, the adaptive elastic component 250 buffers external impacts through the synergistic action of the slider 253 and the return spring 254. At the same time, the cutting blade 260 moves with the rod 210 to cut the entangled material, and the hollow spiral ceramic sleeve 280 guides the debris to be discharged from the mud discharge port 140. The protective cylinder 150 and the detection window 160 provide protection for the sensor 270 while ensuring the accuracy of the monitoring data.

[0041] In summary, through the innovative collaborative design of the bearing mechanism 100 and the pneumatic drive mechanism 200, the environmental monitoring system achieves high stability, adaptive adjustment, and long-term maintenance-free operation under complex farmland conditions. The device adopts a graded load-bearing structure, and the tower structure constructed by the supporting outer pipe 110 and the thickened pipe sleeve 130 optimizes the soil stress distribution. Combined with the wind force adaptive adjustment mechanism of the pneumatic drive mechanism 200, it not only ensures the dynamic and accurate control of the monitoring height, but also achieves energy self-sufficiency through the hydrodynamic design of the wind direction and speed measuring cover 230. The three-dimensional buffer system of the adaptive elastic component 250 and the dual protection design of the cutting blade 260 and the hollow spiral ceramic sleeve 280 effectively solve the problems of mechanical impact, root entanglement, and siltation faced by traditional agricultural detection devices.
