The invention discloses an automatic unsaturated soil water infiltration measuring system and an automatic unsaturated soil water infiltration measuring method based on Internet of Things. The automatic unsaturated soil water infiltration measuring system comprises a Markov bottle, an elevator, a soil column, a gravity sensor, a moisture sensor, a counter, a data acquisition and transmission device, terminal equipment and the like. Based on the Internet of Things, automatic start and stop of an experiment, as well as automatic recording, transmission and real-time viewing of experimental data are achieved, so that the experimental workload is greatly reduced. The automatic soil water infiltration measuring system is complete in function and convenient to mount and use, can achieve a water infiltration process experiment under the conditions of different solution concentrations, different initial soil moisture contents, different soil bulk densities and different infiltration heads, has the advantages of automation, high efficiency, real-time performance, economy, reliability and the like, and is applicable to layered soil and homogeneous soil.
