Description

Environment monitoring unit and deployment method thereof Technical Field The application relates to the technical field of environmental monitoring, in particular to an environmental monitoring unit and a deployment method thereof. Background The difference between the internal environment and the external environment of the orchard is large, and the air temperature and humidity, the carbon dioxide concentration and the soil parameters in the orchard directly influence the growth of fruit trees and the quality of fruits. Traditional orchard environmental monitoring adopts fixed sensor more, has following problem: The soil sensor data are collected independently without combining with environmental parameters above the sensor, so that the growth state of the fruit tree cannot be accurately estimated, and whether agricultural operation is carried out cannot be accurately judged. Soil sensors are typically tubular in construction, and are required to ensure adequate contact between the sensor interface and the soil during deployment, which is time consuming and prone to poor contact. The probability that the sensors deployed in the orchard are contacted with the agricultural machinery and the labor is high, and the damage probability is also greatly increased. When a certain soil sensor is damaged, the soil sensor needs to be replaced integrally, and the cost is high. Both tubular and needle-type multi-layer soil sensors present this problem. For example, chinese patent publication No. CN219065463U discloses a tubular multi-layer soil moisture content monitor, but its internal sensor is designed as an integrated unit, and the maintenance and replacement need to dig out all devices, which is inefficient. The existing monitoring unit lacks flexibility, and can not adaptively adjust the deployment depth according to the user requirements. For example, chinese patent publication No. CN219348867U describes soil moisture content detection devices employing an outer sleeve and an inner detection assembly, but the sensor is stationary and cannot be depth-adjusted. When monitoring soil of different depths, the whole system needs to be redeployed, and the use cost and the deployment difficulty are increased. Although the needle type soil sensor is relatively simple to deploy, a connecting circuit among a plurality of needle type sensors in the prior art is directly exposed in soil and is easy to be corroded, mechanically damaged and damaged by agricultural operation, so that the reliability and the service life of the system are reduced. Disclosure of Invention The invention aims to provide an environment monitoring unit and a deployment method thereof, which are used for solving the technical problems of high sensor replacement cost, inconvenient deployment and poor monitoring flexibility in the prior art. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an environmental monitoring unit including a protection box and a soil sensor disposed in the protection box; the soil sensor is in a needle structure, and the probe penetrates through the protection box wall to extend outwards and incline downwards and is used for monitoring soil parameters; the soil sensor is detachably connected with the protection box.
