Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of facility agricultural engineering, and particularly relates to an active regulation system and method for cold prevention and temperature and gas increase in a greenhouse. BACKGROUND

[0002] In horticultural facilities such as greenhouses and sheds, there is a common problem of excessively low soil temperature at the periphery in winter and insufficient CO2 concentration in the greenhouse, which is not conducive to crop growth and leads to unsatisfactory yield and quality in winter production. To solve this problem of soil marginal effect, passive measures such as adding foundation insulation or setting cold prevention trenches are usually used in the design, but the investment cost is high, the adjustability is poor, and the effect is not ideal. At the same time, the solar radiation heat energy incident into the greenhouse during the day is absorbed by crops, soil, and walls, and the remaining heat energy enters the greenhouse air, resulting in high temperature in the greenhouse during the day. Therefore, ventilation measures are often needed to discharge it to the outside, which is undoubtedly a waste of energy. The ground heat exchange technology can store the excess heat in the greenhouse during the day in the soil for air heating at night, but the soil marginal effect problem has not been addressed in traditional applications. In terms of CO2 supplementation in greenhouses, there is no other economic and effective technical measure except for ventilation to introduce outdoor air. In some production practices, straw fermentation technology has been tried to fill straw into the roots of crops, which can increase the temperature and gas in the greenhouse, and the fermented straw can be directly returned to the field, but it also lacks active regulation, and can only be filled once every cultivation period, which cannot match the growth process well, and has great limitations. In addition, the soil temperature in the greenhouse is low in winter, and the reaction process and rate of the straw filled in the soil will be affected without an external heat source, so it is difficult to control the time and rate of straw fermentation and gas production, which makes it more difficult to match the cultivation demand. To solve the above problems, the present application provides a technical solution for active regulation to realize energy saving, low carbon, and green, and to solve the problems of soil marginal cold prevention and temperature increase and CO2 supplementation in the greenhouse.

The hole partition plate 2 is arranged between the lower pipe groove 1 and the upper pipe groove 3. The ventilation pipe comprises an air inlet pipe 4 and an air outlet pipe 5. The air inlet pipe 4 is installed at both ends of the upper pipe groove 3, and the air outlet pipe 5 is installed at the middle of the upper pipe groove 3. The variable frequency fan 6 for ventilation control is arranged in the ventilation pipe. The lower pipe groove 1 is used for filling straws. The soil temperature sensor 9, the indoor air temperature sensor 10 and the CO2 concentration sensor 11 are installed at appropriate positions in the greenhouse. The automatic control device 12 in the greenhouse is connected with the variable frequency fan 6, the soil temperature sensor 9, the indoor air temperature sensor 10 and the CO2 concentration sensor 11 respectively. The opening and air volume of the variable frequency fan 6 are controlled according to the temperature parameters and the CO2 concentration detected by the sensors.

[0004] The lower pipe groove 1 is a semicircular, arc-shaped or square pipe groove. The groove opening faces upward during use. The lower pipe groove 1 is mainly used for carrying straws and serving as a container for straw fermentation. The lower pipe groove 1 can be made of PVC, cement or concrete materials with good moisture resistance, corrosion resistance and heat conductivity.

[0005] The hole partition plate 2 is mainly used for separating the lower pipe groove 1 and the upper pipe groove 3. The hole partition plate 2 is provided with uniformly distributed air holes with a diameter of 1 cm. The air holes can prevent the soil or straws from being blocked and can timely transmit the CO2 gas generated by the straw fermentation in the lower pipe groove 1 to the upper pipe groove 3.

[0006] The upper pipe groove 3 is a semicircular or arc-shaped pipe groove. The groove opening faces downward during use and is arranged on the lower pipe groove 1. The air convection space is formed between the lower pipe groove 1 and the upper pipe groove 3 by the hole partition plate 2. The upper pipe groove 3 can be made of PVC, cement or concrete materials with good moisture resistance, corrosion resistance and heat conductivity.

[0007] The air inlet pipe 4 and the air outlet pipe 5 are installed on the upper pipe groove 3. The air inlet pipe 4 and the air outlet pipe 5 are inserted into the upper pipe groove 3 through the local holes of the upper pipe groove 3 and are connected and fixed by the L-shaped joint 7 and the T-shaped joint 8 arranged on the upper pipe groove 3.

[0008] The air inlet pipe 4 is arranged at a height of 0.5 m from the ground to prevent the soil and sundries from falling into the pipe and being blocked. The air outlet pipe 5 is arranged at a height of 1.0 m from the ground to facilitate the discharge of the air rich in CO2 to the crop canopy height. The pipe material can be selected from PVC materials with light weight and good durability.

[0009] The variable frequency fan 6 is installed at the bottom of the air outlet pipe 5 and is used for forced convection of the air in and out of the pipe.

[0010] The soil temperature sensor 9 is installed in the soil near the wall of the upper pipe groove 3, and the air temperature sensor 10 is installed in the crop canopy height range.

[0012] The cold-proof pipe is buried below the ground surface at the low-temperature margin of the greenhouse according to the facility form and requirements. The CO2 generated by straw fermentation enters the upper pipe groove 3 through the partition 2. The fermentation heat can be transmitted to the surrounding soil through the wall of the lower pipe groove 1 under the action of temperature difference, and the temperature of the deep margin soil of the greenhouse is raised to achieve the purpose of active cold-proof and warming. The variable frequency fan 6 can realize air convection circulation between the greenhouse and the upper pipe groove 3. During the day, the excess heat in the indoor high-temperature air can be taken to the underground. Under the action of temperature difference, most of the heat will be transmitted to the surrounding soil through the heat transfer of the wall of the upper pipe groove 3, raising the temperature of the shallow margin soil of the greenhouse and achieving the effect of active cold-proof and warming. At the same time, during the early stage of straw fermentation, the temperature of the straw is relatively low. Under the action of temperature difference, part of the heat will also be transmitted downward to the straw, playing a role in promoting straw fermentation.

The CO2 gas is transmitted to the indoor air through the pipeline system, and the generated heat is mainly transmitted to the surrounding soil through the pipe wall, thereby achieving the purpose of soil margin cold-proof and indoor air increase. In addition, with the circulation and exchange between the air in the pipe and the indoor air, the excess heat in the greenhouse during the day enters the upper pipe groove, which also transmits to the surrounding soil through the pipe wall under the action of temperature difference, further enhancing the cold-proof and warming effect of the system on the margin soil of the greenhouse.

The automatic control device 12 automatically controls according to the target control parameters obtained by the above detection.

[0017] (4) Under the forced convection of the variable frequency fan 6 during the day, the indoor high-temperature air can be introduced into the upper pipe tank 3. Under the action of the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the pipe wall, it is stored in the surrounding soil, thereby increasing the temperature of the surrounding soil and achieving the purpose of shallow soil cold prevention and temperature increase.

[0018] (5) Under the forced convection of the variable frequency fan 6 during the day, the high-concentration CO2 contained in the convection exchange between the upper pipe tank 3 and the indoor space will also be brought into the greenhouse, thereby achieving the purpose of indoor CO2 enrichment.

[0019] (6) During the initial stage of straw fermentation, a part of the heat of the high-temperature air in the greenhouse and the upper pipe tank 3 will also be transmitted to the straw in the lower pipe tank 1 through the perforated partition 2 under the action of the temperature difference, thereby increasing the temperature of the straw and promoting fermentation.

[0020] (7) Through the soil temperature sensor 9 embedded in the pipe wall, the marginal soil temperature of the greenhouse can be sensed in real time, and the data is uploaded to the control device 12 in time to judge the cold prevention and temperature increase effect of the system.

[0021] (8) Through the CO2 concentration sensor 11 arranged in the upper pipe tank 3, the change rule and enrichment of the CO2 concentration in the pipe tank can be sensed in real time, and the data is uploaded to the control device 12 in time to judge the straw fermentation time, reaction progress and straw replacement time.

[0022] (9) When the straw fermentation process is completed and the planting period is not yet completed, the straw can be replaced by disassembling the ventilation pipe 4, the exhaust pipe 5, the upper pipe tank 3 and the perforated partition 2. The fermented straw replaced out can be directly returned to the field.

[0023] (10) According to the indoor air temperature and the air temperature in the upper pipe tank 3, the starting and stopping time of the variable frequency fan 6 is controlled by the automatic control device 12. According to the CO2 concentration of the indoor air and the air in the upper pipe tank 3, the air volume of the variable frequency fan 6 is adjusted to achieve the goal of active regulation of the greenhouse soil marginal cold prevention and temperature increase and indoor gas enrichment.

2. An active control method for a greenhouse cold protection, heating, and air enhancement active control system, characterized in that: A cold-proof pipe trough is set below the ground surface at the low-temperature soil edge in the greenhouse. Straw is placed in the pipe trough. The straw ferments to produce CO2 gas and heat, which is exchanged with heat and mass in the greenhouse to achieve the purpose of indoor air increase and soil edge temperature increase and cold-proof. The cold-proof temperature increase and indoor air increase active control system is actively regulated. The specific active control method is as follows: (1) The cold-proof pipe trough is buried below the ground surface at a location where the surrounding soil temperature is relatively low in the greenhouse, straw is filled in the lower pipe trough (1), the air inlet pipe (4) is installed at both ends of the upper pipe trough (3), the air exhaust pipe (5) is installed in the middle of the upper pipe trough (3), and a variable frequency fan (6) for ventilation control is built in; the cold-proof pipe trough not only isolates the direct heat transfer between the inside and outside of the soil surrounding the greenhouse, but also plays a role in heat preservation and cold prevention. At the same time, the upper pipe trough (3) can realize heat exchange and CO2 transmission between the greenhouse and the upper pipe trough (3) through the forced convection of the variable frequency fan (6); (2) The CO2 gas generated by the fermentation of straw in the lower tube trough (1) will diffuse into the space of the upper tube trough (3) through the perforated partition (2); the heat generated by the fermentation of straw in the lower tube trough (1) will be transferred to the surrounding soil for storage under the action of the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tube wall, thereby increasing the temperature of the surrounding soil and playing the role of cold protection and warming of the deep soil; (3) The temperature sensor detects the spatial temperature in the soil around the pipe wall of the upper pipe trough (3) and in the indoor space at the height of the crop canopy; the CO2 concentration sensor (11) detects the CO2 concentration in the upper pipe trough (3) and in the greenhouse air at the height of the crop canopy, and transmits the above data to the automatic control device (12), which automatically controls according to the detected data and the set target control parameters; (4) During the day, under the forced convection of the variable frequency fan (6), the indoor high-temperature air can be introduced into the upper tube groove (3). Under the action of the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tube wall, the air is transferred to the surrounding soil for storage, thereby raising the temperature of the surrounding soil and achieving the purpose of cold protection and warming of the shallow soil. (5) During the day, under the forced convection of the variable frequency fan (6), as the convection exchange between the upper tube trough (3) and the indoor space occurs, the high concentration of CO2 contained therein will also be brought into the greenhouse, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing CO2 indoors; (6) In the early stage of straw fermentation, due to the temperature difference, some of the heat from the high-temperature air in the greenhouse and the upper tube trough (3) will be transferred to the straw in the lower tube trough (1) through the perforated partition (2), thereby increasing its temperature and promoting fermentation. (7) The soil temperature sensor (9) buried around the pipe wall can instantly sense the marginal soil temperature of the greenhouse, and the data is promptly uploaded to the automatic control device (12) to judge the cold-proof and warming effect of the system; (8) The CO2 concentration sensor (11) installed in the upper pipe trough (3) can instantly sense the changing pattern of CO2 concentration in the pipe trough and the application situation, and the data is transmitted to the automatic control device (12) in a timely manner to determine the straw fermentation time, reaction process and straw replacement time; (9) When the straw fermentation process is completed but the planting cycle is not yet completed, the straw can be replaced by disassembling the air inlet pipe (4), the exhaust pipe (5), the upper pipe groove (3) and the perforated partition (2); (10) According to the indoor air temperature and the air temperature in the upper tube trough (3), the start and shut-down time of the variable frequency fan (6) is controlled by the automatic control device (12); according to the CO2 concentration of the indoor air and the air in the upper tube trough (3), the air volume of the variable frequency fan (6) is adjusted to achieve the goal of marginal cold protection and warming of the greenhouse soil and active regulation of indoor air increase.
