The present invention relates to a soil moisture meter, and more particularly, to the pointed pointed portion (3) having a sharp tip to be easily inserted into the soil, the inlet (2) and the inlet (2) into which water introduced from the ground is introduced. Water filling unit 4 is filled with water through the water) and buoyancy (11) and water filled in the water filling unit (4) located in the water filling unit 4 and the water is evaporated into the soil through the evaporation unit A water filling portion 6 consisting of the evaporation portion 5; A moving member 12 supported by buoyancy to move up and down by buoyancy to be able to check the elevation from the outside; It is a configuration including a rod (12) that can be easily inserted into the soil filled portion (6). Therefore, the water filled portion is inserted into the soil with the upper end of the movable member 12 exposed on the soil, and when the soil is dried by the insertion, the water filled in the water filled portion 4 through the evaporator 5 is transferred to the soil. The water level of the water filling section is lowered due to the evaporation. Therefore, since the movable member held by the buoyancy 11 is lowered, the manager can check the movable member exposed to the outside. In other words, the manager wants to provide a soil moisture meter that can only check whether the soil is dry.

Conventional redistribution is cumbersome and bothersome because it has to be watered every day or every few days depending on the plant's habit, and the watering cycle is also different depending on the season. Because of this, many plants died.

Current hygrometers include hair hygrometers, dew point hygrometers, and wet and dry hygrometers, but all of them are for measuring humidity in the air. Humidity measurement devices for various purposes have been developed and used to measure the moisture content of these, but these are also devices for a specific purpose that can not measure the moisture content of the soil in the pot.

Of course, there have been attempts to develop a humidity meter for soil, but most of the hygrometers such as hair hygrometers are forcibly applied, so this type of hygrometer cannot measure the humidity of the soil itself. If possible, it is expensive.

In addition, Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of the soil moisture meter of the present application showing another embodiment, Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view for performing a watering operation by applying another embodiment to the pot.

This will be described based on the accompanying drawings. First, according to Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 7

 The water filling part 6 has a sharp pointed part 3 so that its end can be inserted deeply into the soil, an inlet part 2 through which water introduced from the ground is introduced, and water is introduced through the inlet part 2. It consists of a water filling part 4 to be filled, a buoyancy 11 located in the water filling part 4 and the water filled in the water filling part 4 and an evaporation part 5 into which the water is evaporated into the soil (7). See also).

 And the rod 10 is connected so that the water filling portion 6 can be easily inserted into the soil above the water filling portion 6, the moving member 12 in the longitudinal direction of the rod is in contact with the buoyancy, The upper side of the moving member 12 is located in the confirmation unit so that the administrator can visually confirm as shown in FIG. Herein, the checking unit 16 will be described briefly. When the water filled in the water filling unit 4 is extinguished, the buoyancy is also lowered and the movable member 12 supported by the buoyancy is also lowered by this lowering.

That is, the moving member 12 may move by the buoyancy 11 to switch the switch 17 as shown in FIG. 7. Therefore, the switch 17 is to notify the manager by operating the light (not shown) light emitting unit or sound not shown.

Of course, the switch unit generates a light emitting unit and a sound through the control unit (not shown).

The sound and light emitting unit uses a current.

When explaining the embodiment of the configuration in more detail as follows.

As shown in FIG. 8, the water-filled portion 6 is inserted to a predetermined depth in the pollen soil. When water is supplied to the pot in this state, water passes through the inlet part 2 and the evaporation part 5 via the soil and is filled in the water filling part 4. Thus filled water is foreign matter is filtered in the evaporator (5), so the soil does not flow into the water filler (4). However, the muddy water is introduced to some extent, but the introduced muddy water is precipitated in the water filling part 4, so that it does not interfere with the operation of the buoyancy 11 and the moving means 12. The sediment is muddy at the beginning of the pot, but after two or more waterings, muddy water does not occur in the soil (two waterings drain the soil). Therefore, after two or more watering, the muddy water does not flow into the water filling part (4).

When water is introduced into the water filling part 4 due to the water cycle as described above, the water causes the buoyancy 11 to rise above the water surface. Therefore, as described above, the buoyancy lifts the movable member 12 upward to release the switch 17 connected to the movable member 12. When the sound is released in this way, the sound and the light emitting unit stop their functions. Over time, moisture absorbed into the soil evaporates into the air. Here, according to the experiments of the source, for example, the case of masato, sand, ocher ball was able to confirm the process of drying from the upper side to the lower side.

In this way, the soil around the evaporator 5 is also dried during the drying process. Therefore, it could be visually confirmed that the water of the water filling part 4 is evaporated into the soil via the evaporation part 5 due to the drying.

That is, when the soil dries, the water filled in the water filling unit 4 is absorbed into the soil, and the water absorbed in the soil is evaporated into the air.

As a result, when the water charged in the water filling part 4 disappears, the buoyancy is also lowered and the movable member 12 supported by the buoyancy is also lowered to switch the switch 17 so that the current is transferred to the light emitting part or the sound sounding part. Is authorized.

This experiment was carried out by inserting the soil moisture meter (1) of the present application made transparent in the laboratory of the present application to the inner wall surface of the transparent pollen was able to confirm the process.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 as a second embodiment, when watering the potted plant 100, the water does not pass through the soil, but through the hopper 10 'and the rod 10 penetrated up and down through the evaporator ( 5) It is filled in the water filling part 4 through the inner side.

When water flows into the water filling part 4 due to the water cycle as described above, the water causes the buoyancy to rise above the water surface. Accordingly, the movable member 12 supported by the buoyancy 11 is lifted to the upper side and the upper side of the movable member 12 exposed to the outside as shown in FIG. Is directed. For example, plus 2 is indicated.

In this state, the moisture absorbed by the soil evaporates into the air. According to the experiment of the garden, for example, it was possible to confirm the process of drying from the upper side to the lower side in the case of masato, sand, ocher balls, and the like. When the soil around the evaporator (5) is dried in this drying process, the water filled in the water filler (4) is also evaporated through the evaporator (5) to evaporation.

When the water filled in the water filling unit 4 is extinguished, the buoyancy is also lowered and the movable member 12 supported by the buoyancy by the lowering is also lowered so that the upper end of the movable member 12 is instructed to the check unit 16. do. For example, zero is indicated. If instructed to do so, the administrator can check and water.

Reference here, as a result of our experiment, we planted 'an' in the pot and watered it when the soil in the pot dried ¼. As a result, I was not killed. But the condition was not good.

The planter planted 'I' in another pot and watered it when the soil in the pot became dry. As a result, the egg was not killed and I was in a good condition.

The planter planted 'I' in another pot and watered it when the soil in the pot dried ½. As a result, I was not killed and I was in good condition.

And other crops with similar results. This experiment was conducted continuously for 5 years.

Here, briefly explaining the experience of the plant, plants planted in pots experienced a good growth as if they were grown in nature even if various plants were provided with only some moisture control.

The evaporation member 13 absorbs the water filled in the water filling unit 4 through the core member 14 and leads to the soil via the evaporation unit 5.

Even if the wick 14 and the evaporation member 13 is not present, when the soil particles such as masato are large, air circulation is active, and the water filled in the water filling unit 4 is evaporated into the soil when the soil is dried.

In the present application, the evaporation member 13 and the wick 14 are kneaded with a cloth or soil capable of absorbing water, and then completed by heating in a kiln after molding.

Then, the evaporation member 13 and the evaporator 5 are spaced at a predetermined interval so that the water filled in the water filler 4 is not absorbed into the soil at one time.

As a result of the present experiment, depending on the material selection or soil of the evaporation member 13, but watering the soil is water is drained through the drain hole not shown in the case of a pot. In its drainage process, the soil absorbs large amounts of water. That is, there is a large amount of moisture in the soil.

Thus, even if a large amount of water in the soil is less than the amount of water of the evaporation member 13 that absorbed the water filled in the water filling (4). Therefore, when the soil is in contact with the evaporation member 13, the moisture of the evaporation member 13, which contains a large amount of moisture, is absorbed into the soil with a little moisture. That is, even if there is sufficient water in the soil, the water absorbed by the water filling unit 4 is more absorbed into the soil. In this case, water is exhausted in the water filling part 4 even though the soil has enough water. In this case, the humidity meter 1 becomes useless.

However, when the material of the evaporation member 13 is the same as the soil and the water absorption power of the evaporation member 13 or the water absorption power of the evaporation member 13 is low, there is no need to separate the evaporation unit 5 and the evaporation member 13, the evaporation unit (5) Alternatively, the evaporation member 13 may be selected and omitted.

As described in detail above, the soil humidity meter of the present application

When the water filling part is inserted into the soil with the upper end of the moving member exposed on the soil, and the soil is dried by the insertion, the water filled in the water filling part is evaporated into the soil through the evaporation part. Lowers. Therefore, the movable member held by the buoyancy is lowered, so the top of the movable member is exposed to the outside so that the manager can check it. That is, when the soil dries, the moving member descends, so the manager can check whether the water is dried in the soil by checking whether the moving member is descending or not.

 Therefore, both young and old can grow flowers planted in the soil, and can be supplied at low cost because it is simple to manufacture.

In addition, by installing a switch unit, which is an electric device in the moving member, and externally equipped with a control unit, a light emitting unit, and a sound, the user can check whether the soil is dried by sound, so that the blind can also grow flowers.
