Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil monitoring technology for tea cultivation, specifically a real-time monitoring device for soil moisture and pH value in tea cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] The growth and quality of tea leaves are closely related to the soil environment. Soil moisture reflects the water content of the soil, directly affecting the absorption of water and nutrients by the tea tree roots; soil pH value alters the availability of nutrients in the soil, and a suitable pH range promotes normal metabolism in tea trees. Real-time monitoring of these two indicators helps growers adjust irrigation, fertilization, and other management measures in a timely manner, creating a stable and suitable growing environment for tea trees and contributing to the precision cultivation of the tea industry.

[0003] Utility model patent CN223065303U discloses a soil pH monitoring device for greenhouse flower cultivation. This device includes a monitoring upper body; the front end of the upper body is fixedly connected to the rear end of the display screen near the top, and the bottom end of the upper body is fixedly connected to the top of the monitoring plug. An easy-to-install protective mechanism is provided on the outside of the upper body and the monitoring plug. This easy-to-install protective mechanism protects the monitoring plug of the pH monitoring device while also facilitating its removal. It solves the problem that existing devices lack components to protect the main body, and the monitoring plug of pH monitoring devices is fragile and easily damaged or deformed in the event of a collision, leading to increased maintenance costs. This invention improves the protection of the monitoring plug of the pH monitoring device.

[0004] This soil pH monitoring device for greenhouse flower cultivation faces challenges in tea cultivation. In tea plantations, the soil often contains impurities such as tea stems and gravel. The monitoring plug only has a protective sleeve and lacks guidance and force-applying structures for insertion. When workers insert the plug into the soil, the lack of a directional guide can cause it to deviate from its insertion direction, resulting in non-perpendicular collisions with soil impurities. Furthermore, the absence of a stable force-applying carrier makes it difficult to maintain uniform force. When encountering impurities, excessive localized force or deviations in the force angle can easily cause the plug to bend and be damaged. Therefore, we propose a real-time soil moisture and pH monitoring device for tea cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a real-time monitoring device for soil moisture and pH value in tea cultivation, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A real-time monitoring device for soil moisture and pH value in tea cultivation includes a main body of the monitor, with a monitoring probe at the bottom. The main body of the monitor is fitted into a limiting assembly, which includes a vertical plate and a base plate installed on the front end of the vertical plate. A top collar is fixed to the top of the vertical plate, and a bottom collar is fixed to the bottom of the vertical plate. The top collar and the bottom collar are coaxial. Sleeves are provided at the four edges of the front end of the base plate. The main body of the monitor is fitted and limited between the four sleeves. When the main body of the monitor is installed into the limiting assembly, the monitoring probe and the bottom collar are coaxial.

[0008] The limiting component is installed on the guide component, which includes a base plate that is in contact with the soil surface and a pair of guide plates fixed to the top of the base plate. An insertion hole is provided in the center of the base plate. The limiting component is sandwiched between the two guide plates and slidably connected to the guide plates. The bottom end of the monitoring probe can penetrate the insertion hole and be inserted into the soil.

[0009] Preferably, the sleeve plate has an elastic metal sheet structure, the end of the sleeve plate bends toward the main body of the monitor and wraps around the edge of the main body of the monitor, and the bottom sleeve plate is provided with a clearance groove for avoiding the monitoring probe.

[0010] In this design, the elastic metal sheet structure allows the sleeve to stably clamp the main body of the monitor, the bending design improves the stability of the enclosure, and the anti-cavity groove avoids interference between the sleeve and the monitoring probe, ensuring the smooth installation of the main body of the monitor.

[0011] Preferably, the top collar and the bottom collar are the same size, and the bottom collar has an opening at the front end to allow the monitoring probe to pass.

[0012] In this setup, the identical size ensures that the top and bottom collars are subjected to balanced forces, and the clearance prevents the bottom collar from obstructing the movement of the monitoring probe, ensuring that the monitoring probe can be properly inserted into the soil.

[0013] Preferably, the guide plate has a vertical arc-shaped plate structure, and two guide plates are symmetrically distributed at the top of the base plate. The inner arc-shaped surface of the guide plate is in contact with the outer arc-shaped surfaces of the top collar and the bottom collar, and the limiting component can move up and down along the guide plate.

[0014] In this design, the arc-shaped structure increases the uniformity of contact between the guide plate and the collar, the symmetrical distribution forms a stable clamping, and the fit design limits the movement of the limiting components only in the vertical direction, providing directional insertion assurance for the monitoring probe.

[0015] Preferably, both ends of the top collar and both ends of the bottom collar are provided with protruding protrusions, and the guide plate is provided with a limiting groove along its length direction. The protrusions on the top collar and the bottom collar extend into the limiting grooves at the corresponding positions, and the limiting component is limited between the two guide plates by the protrusions.

[0016] In this configuration, the protruding post and the limiting groove work together to limit the range of motion of the limiting component, preventing it from detaching from the guide plate, while maintaining the stability of the limiting component during sliding and avoiding lateral misalignment.

[0017] Preferably, a horizontally longitudinal gripping rod is provided above the vertical plate, and a connecting rod is fixed between the bottom end of the gripping rod and the top end of the vertical plate. By gripping the gripping rod, the gripping rod can drive the vertical plate to move along the guide plate.

[0018] In this configuration, the connecting rod stably transmits the force of the gripping rod. The horizontal longitudinal gripping rod facilitates the application of force with both hands and makes it easy to keep the force direction vertical, reducing the possibility of the limiting component tilting due to force deviation.

[0019] Preferably, a bottom cone is provided at the center of the bottom end face of the base plate, with the cone tip pointing downwards. The insertion hole axially penetrates the bottom cone, and the bottom cone is inserted into the soil when the base plate is in contact with the soil surface. The bottom cone guides the movement of the monitoring probe into the soil through the insertion hole.

[0020] In this setup, the cone tip design makes it easy to insert the bottom cone into the soil, helping to initially position the base plate. The through-hole provides a precise insertion channel for the monitoring probe, preventing it from shifting due to soil impurities and reducing the risk of bending.

[0021] Preferably, a number of pins are fixed at the outer periphery of the bottom surface of the base plate. The pins are inserted into the soil when the base plate is in contact with the soil surface. The pins are used to position the base plate on the soil surface.

[0022] In this setup, several pins are evenly fixed to the base plate from the perimeter, forming a double fixation with the base cone to ensure the stability of the base plate during use and provide basic support for the stable insertion of the monitoring probe.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] This real-time soil moisture and pH monitoring device for tea cultivation uses a combination of a guide component and a limiting component to provide directional guidance and stable force support for the insertion of the monitoring probe into the soil. The base plate and bottom cone in the guide component allow the device to stably conform to the soil surface, and the insertion hole of the bottom cone guides the monitoring probe to be inserted vertically, avoiding deviation and collision with soil impurities. The limiting component can fix the main body of the monitor. The operator can apply force evenly by holding the rod to drive the monitoring probe to move smoothly down along the guide plate, ensuring that the direction and force of the force are consistent, reducing the possibility of the monitoring probe bending due to impurities or uneven force.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-6 A real-time monitoring device for soil moisture and pH value in tea cultivation includes a main body 100, with a monitoring probe 110 at the bottom. The main body 100 is fitted into a limiting component 200, which includes a vertical plate 210 and a base plate 220 mounted on the front end of the vertical plate 210. The limiting component 200 is mounted on a guide component 300, which includes a base plate 310 that adheres to the soil surface and a pair of guide plates 320 fixed to the top of the base plate 310. The guide component 300 connects to the soil surface via the base plate 310. The adhesion to the soil surface ensures the stable placement of the entire device. The guide plate 320 provides a vertical movement path for the limiting component 200, preventing lateral displacement of the limiting component 200 during movement. The guide component 300 guides the limiting component 200 to move vertically, thereby causing the limiting component 200 to move together with the monitoring instrument body 100. This ensures that the monitoring instrument body 100 moves the monitoring probe 110 in a fixed direction, allowing the monitoring probe 110 to be stably inserted into the soil and preventing bending of the monitoring probe 110 during insertion.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this utility model, a top collar 211 is fixed to the top of the vertical plate 210, and a bottom collar 212 is fixed to the bottom of the vertical plate 210. The top collar 211 and the bottom collar 212 are coaxial. The coaxial design ensures that the limiting component 200 is subjected to balanced forces at both ends, preventing the monitoring instrument body 100 from tilting due to offset at both ends. The top collar 211 and the bottom collar 212 are the same size. The guide plate 320 has a vertical arc-shaped plate structure. The arc structure makes the contact area between the guide plate 320 and the top collar 211 and the bottom collar 212 more uniform, reducing the frictional resistance during sliding. The two guide plates 320 are aligned with each other. The components are distributed symmetrically at the top of the base plate 310, which can stably clamp the limiting component 200 from both sides, preventing the limiting component 200 from shifting to one side when sliding. The inner arc-shaped surface of the guide plate 320 fits against the outer arc-shaped surfaces of the top collar 211 and the bottom collar 212, so that the limiting component 200 is clamped between the two guide plates 320 and slidably connected to the guide plates 320, thereby allowing the limiting component 200 to move up and down along the guide plates 320. The fitting arc-shaped surfaces can restrict the direction of movement of the limiting component 200, ensuring that it only moves in the vertical direction, providing directional assurance for the stable insertion of the monitoring probe 110.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, specifically, both ends of the top collar 211 and the bottom collar 212 are provided with protruding protrusions 214. The guide plate 320 has a limiting groove 321 along its length. The protrusions 214 on the top collar 211 and the bottom collar 212 extend into the corresponding limiting grooves 321. The cooperation between the protrusions 214 and the limiting grooves 321 can further limit the range of motion of the limiting component 200, prevent the limiting component 200 from disengaging from the guide plates 320, and maintain the stability of the limiting component 200 when sliding. The limiting component 200 is restricted between the two guide plates 320 by the protrusions 214, ensuring that the limiting component 200 is always within the clamping range of the guide plates 320 during the up and down movement, and will not be misaligned laterally.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, specifically, each of the four edges of the front face of the base plate 220 is provided with a sleeve plate 221. The main body of the monitor 100 is fitted and restricted between the four sleeve plates 221. The four sleeve plates 221 form a wrap-around restriction on the main body of the monitor 100 from all sides, preventing the main body of the monitor 100 from shaking or shifting when the limiting component 200 moves. After the main body of the monitor 100 is installed in the limiting component 200, the monitoring probe 110 and the bottom collar 212 are coaxial. The coaxial design can ensure that the extension direction of the monitoring probe 110 is consistent with the central axis of the bottom collar 212, providing a reference for the direction of subsequent insertion into the soil. The sleeve 221 has a flexible metal sheet structure. The elastic structure allows the sleeve 221 to generate a certain clamping force when wrapping the monitor body 100, and at the same time facilitates the installation and removal of the monitor body 100. The end of the sleeve 221 bends towards the monitor body 100 and wraps the edge of the monitor body 100 inside. The bending design can increase the contact area between the sleeve 221 and the monitor body 100, improve the limiting stability, and prevent the monitor body 100 from falling off between the sleeves 221. The sleeve 221 at the bottom end is provided with a clearance groove 222 for avoiding the monitoring probe 110, and the front end of the bottom collar 212 is provided with a clearance opening 2121 for avoiding the monitoring probe 110, so that the monitor body 100 can be smoothly installed on the base plate 220.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a horizontally longitudinal gripping rod 213 is provided above the vertical plate 210. A connecting rod 2131 is fixed between the bottom end of the gripping rod 213 and the top end of the vertical plate 210. The connecting rod 2131 can stably transmit the force of the gripping rod 213 to the vertical plate 210, avoiding loss or deviation during the force transmission process. By gripping the gripping rod 213, the gripping rod 213 can drive the vertical plate 210 to move along the guide plate 320. The horizontally longitudinal gripping rod 213 makes it convenient for the staff to apply force with both hands, and the direction of force application is easier to keep vertical, reducing the possibility of the limiting component 200 tilting due to the deviation of the hand force application angle.

[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in addition, an insertion hole 312 is provided at the center of the base plate 310, and a bottom cone 311 is provided at the center of the bottom end face of the base plate 310. The cone tip of the bottom cone 311 faces downward, and the cone tip structure makes it easier for the bottom cone 311 to be inserted into the soil, helping the base plate 310 to quickly achieve preliminary positioning. The insertion hole 312 axially penetrates the bottom cone 311, and the through insertion hole 312 provides a precise insertion channel for the monitoring probe 110, ensuring that the monitoring probe 110 is inserted into the soil along a fixed path. The bottom cone 311 adheres to the soil of the base plate 310. When the probe 110 is inserted into the soil, the bottom cone 311 enhances the connection stability between the bottom plate 310 and the soil, preventing the bottom plate 310 from shifting during the insertion of the probe 110. The bottom cone 311 guides the insertion of the probe 110 into the soil through the insertion hole 312, allowing the bottom end of the probe 110 to pass through the insertion hole 312 and be inserted into the soil. The guiding effect can prevent the probe 110 from deviating in direction due to soil impurities during insertion, reducing the risk of bending.

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that several pins 313 are fixed at the outer periphery of the bottom surface of the base plate 310. The pins 313 are evenly distributed from the outer periphery of the base plate 310, which can fix the base plate 310 from multiple points, further improving the placement stability of the base plate 310. The pins 313 are inserted into the soil when the base plate 310 is in contact with the soil surface. The pins 313 are used to position the base plate 310 on the soil surface. The pins 313 cooperate with the bottom cone 311 to form a double fixing structure of "center + periphery", ensuring that the base plate 310 remains stable throughout the use of the device, and providing basic support for the stable insertion of the monitoring probe 110.

[0043] In this embodiment, the real-time monitoring device for soil moisture and pH in tea cultivation is used as follows: First, the base plate 310 is placed against the soil surface of the tea cultivation area, with the tip of the bottom cone 311 inserted into the soil downwards. Simultaneously, the pins 313 on the outer periphery of the bottom surface of the base plate 310 are inserted into the soil. The base plate 310 is stably positioned on the soil surface through the cooperation of the bottom cone 311 and the pins 313. Then, the main body of the monitor 100 is fitted onto the seat plate 220 of the limiting component 200, so that the main body of the monitor 100 is wrapped and limited by the four sleeve plates 221. At this time, the monitoring probe 110 passes through the clearance groove 222 of the sleeve plate 221 and the clearance opening 2121 of the bottom collar 212, maintaining contact with the bottom collar. 212. The coaxial state of the insertion hole 312 of the base plate 310; Next, the staff holds the gripping rod 213 above the vertical plate 210 with both hands and applies force downward evenly, causing the vertical plate 210, together with the top collar 211 and the bottom collar 212, to slide vertically down along the guide plate 320. During the process, the protrusions 214 of the top collar 211 and the bottom collar 212 slide synchronously along the limiting groove 321 of the guide plate 320 to ensure that the limiting component 200 has no lateral displacement; Finally, as the limiting component 200 slides down, the monitoring probe 110 at the bottom of the monitoring instrument body 100 passes through the bottom cone 311 through the insertion hole 312 of the base plate 310 and is stably inserted into the soil, completing the insertion operation of the monitoring probe 110.

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
