DEVICE FOR RAPID MONITORING OF SOIL COMPOSITION Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G01N33/24 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for analyzing the composition of soil without taking soil samples installed on vehicles, and can be used in agriculture for agrochemical analysis of soils. The device consists of a revolver head mounted cantilevered in the rear of the field robot, a gear motor for turning the revolver head, hydraulic equipment and a container for automatically supplying the required amount of water to the control well, an agrochemical sensor, a revolver head control unit, a sensor control unit. The revolving head is used to form a control cylindrical hole in the soil and lower the sensor into it, it consists of a base on which the sensor and the drilling rig are installed. On the suspension unit of the revolving head, a traverse with a guide and a lead screw is installed on the racks, which ensures the movement of the agrochemical sensor by a predetermined value in the vertical plane when the lead screw rotates, which is caused by an electric motor mounted on the traverse coaxially with the lead screw.

EFFECT: increase in the productivity of monitoring the agrochemical composition of the soil, reducing the complexity of operations, providing measurements at a given depth.
