The utility model discloses a
thermal pulse probe for accurately measuring the
evaporation capacity of biological crust soil, and belongs to the field of soil
measuring equipment. The probe comprises a probe
handle, and a plurality of heating needles and
temperature sensing needles which are vertically fixed on the probe
handle and are distributed in n
layers, the first layer comprises three
temperature sensing needles which are vertically arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom; the second layer to the nth layer take the heating needle as the center,
two temperature sensing needles are arranged on the two horizontal sides respectively, the heating needles of the second layer to the nth layer are vertically arranged on one line, and the vertical distances between the heating needles of all the
layers are the same; the distances between the three
temperature sensing needles in the first layer and the heating needles in the second layer are the same. According to the utility model, the obvious correlation between the soil thermal capacity and the
moisture is utilized, the change of the
moisture content is calculated by accurately measuring the soil thermal capacity, and the
evaporation capacity of the soil covered by the biological crust is obtained. The device has the advantages of quick response, high sensitivity and small disturbance to soil when being used for measuring the soil
moisture change, and is suitable for measuring the
evaporation capacity of biological crust.
