Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental monitoring technology, specifically to an automatic monitoring device for soil wind erosion. Background Technology
[0002] Soil wind erosion monitoring is crucial for assessing land degradation and developing windbreak and sand-fixing measures. Traditional monitoring relies primarily on passive measurement methods such as manual stake insertion and wind erosion zone collection, which suffer from drawbacks such as low data timeliness and difficulty in capturing instantaneous wind erosion processes. While existing electronic monitoring equipment can achieve dynamic data acquisition, its sensors mostly use fixed bracket installation. Adjusting the bracket height requires bolt tightening or manual lifting mechanisms, making it difficult to quickly find the optimal measurement distance in complex terrain or vegetated areas. This leads to deviations in sensor incident angle or exceeding measurement range limits, directly affecting the accuracy of erosion thickness measurement.
[0003] Based on this, we now offer automatic soil wind erosion monitoring equipment, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic monitoring device for soil wind erosion, so as to solve the problem of the inconvenience of dynamically adjusting the height in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] The automatic soil wind erosion monitoring equipment includes: a base, casters, a lifting mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism; the casters are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base, a support frame is fixedly installed at the top of the base, a lifting mechanism for adjusting the sensor monitoring height is slidably installed on the outside of the support frame, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the sensor position is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting mechanism.
[0007] Based on the above technical solutions, this utility model also provides the following optional technical solutions:

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. This utility model uses a wrench to rotate a hexagonal nut to move the second screw vertically downward, allowing the drill bit to penetrate the soil and form an anchoring structure, ensuring the stability of the measuring base; the first motor starts, and through the orthogonal meshing of bevel gears, the horizontal rotation is converted into the vertical movement of the first screw. Then, with the cooperation of the first screw and the threaded sleeve, the mounting plate and sliding bracket are driven to rise and fall along the guide groove, realizing stepless adaptation of the laser sensor measurement height, meeting the needs of wind erosion monitoring in different terrains, and improving the flexibility and accuracy of monitoring.
[0017] 2. This utility model uses a second motor to drive a gear to rotate, which in turn meshes with a rack and pinion to push the second mounting bracket and slider to slide laterally along the guide rail, thereby moving the laser sensor horizontally to a preset monitoring point for precise positioning. The rigid vertical mounting design of the laser sensor, combined with high-precision guide rail straightness compensation, avoids measurement data from being interfered with by tilt, thus improving measurement accuracy. Automated positioning and stable measurement improve work efficiency and bring convenience to operators. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the automatic soil wind erosion monitoring equipment includes: a base 1, casters 2, a lifting mechanism and an adjustment mechanism; the casters 2 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 1, a support frame 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the base 1, a lifting mechanism for adjusting the sensor monitoring height is slidably installed on the outside of the support frame 3, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the sensor position is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting mechanism.
[0025] By incorporating casters 2, operators can easily push the device, thus facilitating the relocation of the device.
[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a sliding bracket 4 slidably disposed outside the support frame 3. A threaded sleeve 5 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the support frame 3. A first screw 6 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 5. A mounting plate 7 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the sliding bracket 4. A first bevel gear 8 is rotatably disposed on the top of the mounting plate 7. The top end of the first screw 6 is fixedly connected to the central axis of the first bevel gear 8. A first mounting bracket 9 is fixedly disposed on the left side of the sliding bracket 4. A first motor 10 is fixedly disposed on the top of the first mounting bracket 9. A rotating rod 11 is rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the sliding bracket 4. The output end of the first motor 10 is fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating rod 11. A second bevel gear 12 is fixedly disposed on the rotating rod 11. The first bevel gear 8 and the second bevel gear 12 mesh with each other.
[0027] A solar panel 26 is fixedly installed at the front end of the sliding bracket 4, which solves the problem of long-term power supply in the field by using solar energy and lithium battery power. The inner wall of the sliding bracket 4 is provided with a sliding groove that is compatible with the support frame 3.
[0028] The first motor 10 drives the second bevel gear 12 on the rotating rod 11 to rotate. The second bevel gear 12 drives the first bevel gear 8 to mesh and rotate. When the first bevel gear 8 rotates, it drives the first screw 6 to rotate. Since the threaded sleeve 5 and the first screw 6 are threadedly connected, the first screw 6 drives the mounting plate 7 to move up and down, thereby allowing the sliding bracket 4 to slide and adjust on the support frame 3, achieving the effect of adjusting the soil wind erosion monitoring height of the laser sensor 19.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment bracket 13 fixedly mounted on the top of the sliding bracket 4. A rack 14 is fixedly mounted on the top of the adjustment bracket 13. A slide rail 15 is fixedly mounted on the top of the rack 14. A slider 16 is slidably mounted on the top of the slide rail 15. A second mounting bracket 17 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the slider 16. A second motor 18 is fixedly mounted on the top of the second mounting bracket 17. A laser sensor 19 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the second mounting bracket 17. A gear 20 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the second motor 18. The tooth surface of the rack 14 meshes with the gear 20.
[0030] A limiting plate is fixedly installed on the top of the adjusting bracket 13. A laser sensor 19, model LDM4X, is used. The vertical installation design of the laser sensor 19 ensures measurement accuracy and avoids tilt errors. After the device is started, it automatically calibrates the laser sensor 19, clears historical data from the SD card, connects to the 4G network, and the user inputs the soil bulk density via the touchscreen. The laser sensor 19 measures the distance to the soil surface every 10 minutes and sends the data to the microprocessor.
[0031] The second motor 18 drives the gear 20 to rotate. Since the rack 14 meshes with the gear 20, the gear 20 is subjected to a reaction force when rotating. This causes the slider 16 to slide and adjust through the second mounting bracket 17. The vertical mounting design of the laser sensor 19 ensures measurement accuracy and avoids tilting errors. The device can flexibly adjust the monitoring position, improves work efficiency, and brings convenience to the operator.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, positioning components for determining the position of the equipment are fixedly installed on both sides of the base 1. The positioning components include positioning brackets 21 fixedly installed on both sides of the base 1, threaded tubes 22 fixedly installed on the positioning brackets 21, a second screw 23 threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded tube 22, a hexagonal nut 24 fixedly installed at the top end of the second screw 23, and a drill bit 25 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the second screw 23.
[0033] The operator can use a wrench to turn the hexagonal nut 24, which in turn drives the second screw 23 to rotate. Since the threaded tube 22 and the second screw 23 are threadedly connected, the second screw 23 drives the drill bit 25 to move downward and drill into the soil to fix it, thus improving the stability of the measurement.
[0034] The above embodiments disclose an automatic soil wind erosion monitoring device. In this device, the operator uses a wrench to rotate the hexagonal nut 24, driving the second screw 23 to move vertically downwards along the threaded joint of the threaded tube 22. This forces the drill bit 25 to drill into the deep soil layer, forming an anchoring structure to ensure the stability of the measuring base. Simultaneously, the first motor 10 is started, its output shaft driving the second bevel gear 12 to rotate. Through orthogonal meshing with the first bevel gear 8, the horizontal rotation is converted into the vertical movement of the first screw 6. The precise threaded engagement between the first screw 6 and the threaded sleeve 5 drives the mounting plate 7 and the sliding bracket 4 to rise and fall along the guide groove of the support frame 3, achieving stepless adaptation of the laser sensor 19's measurement height to meet the wind erosion monitoring needs of different terrains. The second motor 18 drives the gear 20 to rotate, and through meshing with the rack 14, pushes the second mounting bracket 17 and the slider 16 to slide laterally along the guide rail, moving the laser sensor 19 horizontally to the preset monitoring point. The laser sensor 19 adopts a rigid vertical mounting design, combined with the straightness compensation of the high-precision slide rail, to ensure that the measurement data is not affected by tilt, thereby improving work efficiency and bringing convenience to the operator.
[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
