[0054] The following is combined with Figure 1 This application is described in further detail.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application discloses an agricultural Internet of Things environmental control system, including a meteorological acquisition unit 1, an environmental monitoring unit 2, a processing unit 3, an execution unit 4, a fault monitoring and alarm unit 5 and a mobile terminal 6.

[0056] The meteorological acquisition unit 1 is used to acquire meteorological data. The meteorological acquisition unit 1 includes a detection module 11 and an acquisition module 12. The meteorological data includes real-time meteorological data and meteorological forecast data.

[0057] Detection module 11 is located outside the shed and is used to monitor the environment outside the shed and output real-time meteorological data. Detection module 11 includes various sensors located outside the shed, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, wind speed sensors, and carbon dioxide sensors. Real-time meteorological data includes temperature, humidity, wind speed, and carbon dioxide concentration data.

[0058] The acquisition module 12 is used to obtain weather forecasts issued by the meteorological department as weather forecast data. The acquisition module 12 can be connected to the Internet and retrieve weather forecasts from the meteorological department website. The weather forecast data includes temperature, humidity, wind speed, carbon dioxide concentration, and other data for a period of time in the future. The period of time in the future can be 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 ​​hours, etc., and can be set based on actual conditions.

[0059] Environmental monitoring unit 2 is located within the shed and is used to monitor the environment within the shed and output environmental monitoring data. Environmental monitoring unit 2 includes various sensors located within the shed, such as a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a wind speed sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, and an ammonia sensor. Environmental monitoring data includes temperature data, humidity data, wind speed data, carbon dioxide concentration data, ammonia concentration data, and the like.

[0060] The processing unit 3 is used to receive meteorological data and environmental monitoring data. The processing unit 3 is pre-set with suitable environmental data and improvement mechanisms.

[0061] Among them, the suitable environmental data are range values, such as the most suitable production temperature for laying hens is 20-25°C; corresponding to the same type of poultry and livestock, the suitable environmental data vary according to the growth stage of the poultry and livestock, such as the temperature for chicks entering the house is 33-35°C, and then decreases by an average of 2-3 degrees per day until they are weaned; corresponding to different types of poultry and livestock, the suitable environmental data are different.

[0062] The processing unit 3 outputs a control command based on meteorological data, environmental monitoring data, preset suitable environmental data and a preset improvement mechanism.

[0063] Execution unit 4 responds to control commands to improve the environment within the shed. This unit includes a refrigerator, heater, humidifier, dehumidifier, automatic doors and windows, fans, and more. The operation of execution unit 4 affects the shed environment, thereby altering environmental monitoring data.

[0064] The fault monitoring and alarm unit 5 is used to monitor the working condition of the execution unit 4. The fault monitoring and alarm unit 5 is used to determine whether the execution unit 4 is working abnormally based on the working condition of the execution unit 4. The fault monitoring and alarm unit 5 is used to output a fault prompt message when the execution unit 4 is working abnormally.

[0065] When determining whether the execution unit 4 is working abnormally, it is usually possible to use overcurrent, overvoltage, overheating and other methods to determine whether each device of the execution unit 4 is working normally.

[0066] The processing unit 3 is further configured to receive fault prompt information, and data interaction can be achieved between the processing unit 3 and the mobile terminal 6 based on the Internet.

[0067] The mobile terminal 6 is used to receive and display fault prompt information. The mobile terminal 6 can be a mobile phone, a tablet, etc.

[0068] The control commands include normal operation commands, first test commands, second test commands, and test end commands.

[0069] When the execution unit 4 receives a normal operation command, it operates at a set operating power in response to the normal operation command.

[0070] When the execution unit 4 receives the normal operation command and the first test command, it operates at the first test power in response to the first test command.

[0071] When the execution unit 4 receives the normal operation command, the first test command, and the second test command, the execution unit 4 operates at the second test power in response to the second test command.

[0072] When the execution unit 4 receives the normal operation command, the first test command, and the test end command, it operates at the set operating power in response to the normal operation command.

[0073] When the execution unit 4 receives the normal operation command, the first test command, the second test command, and the test end command, it operates at the set operating power in response to the normal operation command.

[0074] The default improvement mechanisms include:

[0075] S100, when the difference between the weather forecast data and the real-time weather data is not greater than a preset value, outputting a normal working command based on the real-time weather data, the environmental monitoring data, and the preset suitable environmental data;

[0076] S210, outputting a first test command when the difference between the weather forecast data and the real-time weather data is greater than a preset value;

[0077] S220, outputting a second test command when the environmental monitoring data is equal to the first boundary value of the suitable environmental data;

[0078] S230, when the environmental monitoring data is equal to the second boundary value of the suitable environmental data, outputting a test end command, and outputting a normal operation command based on the real-time meteorological data, the environmental monitoring data, and the preset suitable environmental data;

[0079] S300: When outputting a fault prompt message, outputting a test end command, and outputting a normal operation command based on real-time meteorological data, environmental monitoring data and preset suitable environmental data.

[0080] It should be noted that, usually, the first power is less than the second power, and the second power is the maximum power; the first boundary value and the second boundary value can be determined based on actual conditions.

[0081] For example, if the temperature value in the weather forecast data is lower than the temperature value in the real-time weather data, the difference between the two is greater than the preset value, and the temperature value in the real-time weather data is lower than the temperature range value in the suitable environment data:

[0082] The first boundary value is the lower limit of the temperature range value in the suitable environmental data;

[0083] The second boundary value is the upper limit of the temperature range value in the suitable environmental data.

[0084] For example, the temperature value in the weather forecast data is greater than the temperature value in the real-time weather data, the difference between the two is greater than the preset value, and the temperature value in the real-time weather data is greater than the temperature range value in the suitable environment data:

[0085] The first boundary value is the upper limit of the temperature range value in the suitable environmental data;

[0086] The second boundary value is the lower limit of the temperature range value in the suitable environmental data.

[0087] Meanwhile, S210 - S230 and S300 are processed in parallel.

[0088] For example: during the execution of S210, the environmental monitoring data changes toward the first boundary value close to the suitable environmental data. At this time, if a fault prompt message is output, a test end command is output, and the environmental monitoring data stops changing toward the first boundary value close to the suitable environmental data.

[0089] For example: after S210 is executed, the environmental monitoring data is equal to the first boundary value of the suitable environmental data; during the execution of S220, the environmental monitoring data changes toward the second boundary value close to the suitable environmental data. At this time, if a fault prompt message is output, a test end command is output, and the environmental monitoring data stops changing toward the second boundary value close to the suitable environmental data.

[0090] The implementation principle of an agricultural Internet of Things environmental control system according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: meteorological data is used to reflect the environmental state outside the shed, and environmental monitoring data is used to reflect the environmental state inside the shed. The environmental state corresponding to the suitable environmental data is the suitable environmental state required by poultry and livestock; based on the environmental state outside the shed and the environmental state inside the shed, the operation of the execution unit 4 is controlled to adjust the environmental state inside the shed to the suitable environmental state;

[0091] When it is judged that the environmental conditions outside the shed may change significantly in the future, the execution unit 4 is first controlled to operate at the first test power; then, when the environmental monitoring data is equal to the first boundary value of the suitable environmental data, the execution unit 4 is controlled to operate at the second test power; during this process, the fault monitoring alarm unit 5 continues to work, and if the execution unit 4 works abnormally, a prompt is issued to facilitate the farmer to maintain the execution unit 4 in advance before the weather may change significantly, and then when the weather does change significantly, the execution unit 4 operates stably to maintain the environmental conditions in the shed stable.

[0092] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
