发明名称 MOISTURE SENSING WATERING SYSTEM
摘要 A moisture sensing watering system comprising a central pivot, a water conveyance system, a plurality of wheels, a first at least one moisture sensor coupled with a first wheel, a second at least one moisture sensor coupled with a second wheel, a moisture information converter, and a moisture content provider. The first moisture sensor pierces the ground during each rotation of the first wheel and performs a first moisture sensing as a part of the piercing of the ground. The second moisture sensor pierces the ground during each rotation of the second wheel and performs a second moisture sensing as a part of the second moisture sensor piercing the ground. The moisture information converter receives the moisture sensing information and converts the moisture sensing information into a signal. The moisture content provider provides the signal in a user accessible format.

主权项 1. A ground moisture determiner, wherein the ground moisture determiner comprises: a first at least one moisture sensor coupled with a first wheel of a water conveyance system having a plurality of wheels coupled therewith, the first at least one moisture sensor configured for piercing ground during each rotation of the first wheel and for performing a first moisture sensing as a part of the first at least one moisture sensor piercing the ground; a second at least one moisture sensor coupled with a second wheel of the plurality of wheels of the water conveyance system, the second at least one moisture sensor configured for piercing the ground during each rotation of the second wheel and for performing a second moisture sensing as a part of the second at least one moisture sensor piercing the ground; a moisture information converter configured to receive moisture sensing information of the first moisture sensing and the second moisture sensing and to convert the moisture sensing information into a signal indicative of a moisture content of the ground with respective to the first wheel and the second wheel; and a moisture content provider configured to provide the signal indicative of the moisture content of the ground in a user accessible format.
