Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of building interior environment, and in particular to a control and regulation system for building interior environment. Background Art

[0002] The built environment means that no building exists in isolation, but exists in various natural and man-made environments. The purpose of building is to provide an ideal place for people's social, economic, political and cultural activities. Buildings are closely related to the surrounding environment. The surrounding environment is both a constraint and a promoting factor for buildings. In the process of plant growth, its requirements for the environment are also indispensable, especially for some plants that have strict requirements for the growth environment. When such plants are cultivated and grown indoors, the internal environment of the building in which they are located is even more important. Some of these plants have anaerobic habits and grow in low-pressure areas, and some are sensitive to light or temperature and humidity. When they are cultivated indoors, the indoor environment needs to be adjusted according to their habits. Such plants are relatively precious and have certain research and ornamental value. During their cultivation and growth, human activities will also have an impact on them. Whether it is researchers or visitors entering their growth environment, the human body temperature, absorbed oxygen or produced carbon dioxide will have an impact on the plant's growth environment, which is not conducive to the growth of plants. In addition, the harsh environment required for plant growth is not suitable for human entry.

[0003] However, in the prior art, there is no system for controlling and regulating the internal environment of a building that pre-plans the internal environment according to human activities. As a result, it is not possible to pre-regulate the impact of human entry into the plant growth environment at a given time and place, so that human activities can adapt to the plant growth environment. Therefore, in response to the problems existing in the prior art, a system for controlling and regulating the internal environment of a building is designed, so that the system can conveniently regulate the environment so that it neither affects the normal progress of human activities nor affects plant growth. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: To provide a control and regulation system for the environment inside a building, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that the control and regulation system for the environment inside a building cannot pre-regulate the impact of human entry into the plant growth environment at a given time and place, so that human activities can adapt to the plant growth environment.

[0005] Technical solution:

[0006] A control and regulation system for the environment in a building, comprising a main control unit, a data transmission unit, a plant cultivation unit, and an environmental monitoring unit. The plant cultivation unit and the environmental monitoring unit transmit data to the data transmission unit, which transmits data to the main control unit. The main control unit controls the plant cultivation unit and the environmental monitoring unit based on the data transmitted by the data transmission unit.

[0007] The environmental monitoring unit includes an environmental control unit and a mode division unit, the mode division unit includes a general module and an abnormal module, and the environmental control unit is used to perform matching environmental control operations on the general module and the abnormal module;

[0008] The general module includes a general setting module and a plan setting module. The general setting module is used to set the necessary environmental data for plant growth, and the plan setting module is used to set other data, including environmental data on the impact of human activities on plant growth.

[0009] The plan setting module includes a reservation unit, a path planning unit, a control and analysis module, an actual activity unit, and an environmental restoration unit. When a request for conducting a human activity in the building environment is received, the reservation unit and the path planning unit generate plan data according to the request. The control and analysis module transmits the plan data to the environmental control unit. The environmental control unit adjusts and adapts relevant environmental data of the building environment according to the plan data. The adjusted data is stored in the actual activity unit. The environmental restoration unit is used to extract the necessary plant growth data from the general setting module after the human activity ends and transmit it to the data transmission unit.

[0010] The path planning unit includes a time planning module and a location planning module. The time planning module converts the request data into environmental data within a building where humans and plants coexist according to a predetermined time of planning. The location planning module converts the request data into environmental data within a building where humans and plants coexist according to a predetermined location of planning.

[0011] The planning data is generated when the building environment data generated by the time planning module and the location planning module are consistent with the matching data of the reservation unit; by setting different modes and pre-planning activity data, even if the environment in which the plants originally grow is not suitable for human activities, human activities can be carried out normally in the growth environment of the plants through the environmental regulation of this control and adjustment system.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the environmental control unit includes a normal environment module, which corresponds to the general module. The normal environment module controls the environment inside the building according to the data provided by the routine setting module or the planned setting module, so that the regulated environment inside the building meets the environmental requirements for plant growth or the environmental requirements for the coexistence of plants and humans.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the general setting module includes a gas module, a temperature and humidity module, a lighting module, a wind speed and direction module and a growth law setting module. The normal environment module adjusts the gas in the gas module, the temperature and humidity in the temperature and humidity module, the light in the lighting module and the wind speed and direction in the wind speed and direction module according to the plant growth law data provided by the growth law setting module; by setting and adjusting the general data of plant growth, human activities are prevented from affecting plant growth.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the reservation unit includes an information preset module, an information entry module, an information matching module and an information generation module. The information preset module includes preset relevant data of human activities. The information entry module is used to record the preset selected relevant data and send the relevant data to the information matching module. The information matching module matches the matching data corresponding to the environmental data in the building based on the relevant data of human activities and sends the matching data to the information generation module. The information generation module compares the matching data with the environmental data in the building generated by the time planning module and the location planning module. When the two match, the information generation module generates the plan data and sends the plan data to the environmental control unit through the control analysis module. Reservations can be made in the plan setting module to avoid conflicts between human activities and plant growth.

[0015] In a further embodiment, the plant cultivation unit includes a planting information module, a data recording module, a data analysis module and a data storage module. The data recording module is used to record the growth environment data of the plants in the building environment. The data analysis module analyzes the growth environment data of the plants and sends the analyzed growth environment data of the plants to the data storage module for storage and backup.

[0016] The planting information module is used to store the growth data of plants in different environments; it can collect the growth data of plants in the building, thereby strengthening the management of plants, so that the regional environment where the plants are located can be appropriately adjusted according to the data collected during the growth of the plants, and more in line with the growth requirements of the plants.

[0017] In a further embodiment, the planting information module includes a growth data storage module, and the growth data storage module is connected to the general setting module via an analysis and comparison module and a data adjustment module. The analysis and comparison module compares and analyzes the necessary plant growth environment data collected in the growth data storage module with the environment data in the general setting module, and then adjusts the data of the building environment to meet the necessary plant growth environment through the data adjustment module.

[0018] The growth data storage module includes a breeding data module, a growth data module, a maturity data module and other data modules; it can match the pre-collected growth data of this type of plant with the original environmental data in the building, so that the control and regulation system can adjust the internal environment of the building to meet the plant growth requirements.

[0019] In a further embodiment, the environmental control unit further includes an abnormal environment module, a timely control module, and a warning notification module. The abnormal environment module is connected to the abnormal module via an environment comparison module and an abnormal analysis module. When the environment comparison module compares the real-time environmental data of the building's internal environment with the normal environmental data of the building's internal environment, if the real-time environmental data is inconsistent with the normal environmental data, it is determined that the environment is abnormal.

[0020] The abnormal analysis module is used to analyze the data of environmental abnormalities and feed back the data of environmental abnormalities to the main control unit. The timely control module timely adjusts the environment inside the building, issues an alarm to the outside through the alarm notification module, and stores the data of environmental abnormalities in the abnormal module; it can issue an alarm for abnormal environment, trigger the timely control module, and ensure that the environment in this control and adjustment system is always in a normal state.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by setting a mode division unit in the environmental monitoring unit, the mode division unit cooperates with the environmental control unit. Under different divided environmental modes, the environmental control unit can adaptively change the environmental data according to the change of the mode to realize the regulation of the environment, and effectively change the internal environment of the building under different circumstances. At the same time, the planning setting module can set and plan the human activity data in advance, so that human activities can be strictly controlled under the premise of a predetermined time and a predetermined place, so that under the regulation of the control and regulation system, the internal environment of the building can not only allow humans to move normally, but also will not affect the normal growth of plants.

[0026] In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well known in the art are not described to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 , a control and regulation system for the environment in a building disclosed in the present invention, comprising a main control unit, a data transmission unit, a plant cultivation unit and an environmental monitoring unit, wherein the plant cultivation unit and the environmental monitoring unit transmit data to the data transmission unit, and the data transmission unit transmits data to the main control unit, and the main control unit controls the plant cultivation unit and the environmental monitoring unit according to the data transmitted by the data transmission unit;

[0029] The environmental monitoring unit includes an environmental control unit and a mode division unit, the mode division unit includes a general module and an abnormal module, and the environmental control unit is used to perform matching environmental control operations on the general module and the abnormal module; the general module includes a general setting module and a plan setting module, the general setting module is used to set the necessary environmental data for plant growth, and the plan setting module is used to set other data, and the other data includes environmental data on the impact of human activities on plant growth; in the general setting module of the present control and regulation system, the internal environment of the building is first set according to the growth law and growth needs of the plants, so that when the plants are in the building, the internal environment can meet the growth needs of the plants. When researchers or external personnel need to enter the building to study or visit plants, the control personnel can collect personnel data and perform plan settings in the plan setting module, so that when personnel enter the building under preset circumstances, they will not affect the normal growth of the plants;

[0030] The plan setting module includes a reservation unit, a path planning unit, a control analysis module, an actual activity unit and an environment restoration unit. When a request for carrying out human activities in the environment of a building is received, the reservation unit and the path planning unit generate plan data according to the request. The control analysis module transmits the plan data to the environment control unit. The environment control unit adjusts and adapts the relevant environmental data of the building environment according to the plan data. The adjusted data is stored in the actual activity unit. The environment restoration unit is used to extract the necessary data of plant growth in the general setting module and send it to the data transmission unit after the human activity ends. The path planning unit includes a time planning module and a location planning module. The time planning module converts the request data into environmental data in the building where humans and plants coexist according to the planned established time. The location planning module converts the request data into environmental data in the building where humans and plants coexist according to the planned established location. The plan data is generated when the building environment data generated by the time planning module and the location planning module are consistent with the matching data of the reservation unit. When human activities need to be carried out in the building, before people enter the building, It is necessary to preset and match the relevant data in this control and adjustment system first. Since the building has been divided into several different planting areas according to the growth habits of different types of plants, and the environmental conditions in each planting area are different, when humans enter different planting areas, they need to adjust the environment in the planting area according to the growth conditions of different plants and human activities. If people from different sources are about to move in the building on the same day, it is necessary to analyze and match the activity paths and activity times in advance, so that people from different sources can be distinguished and the relevant data of human activities can be input into the location planning module and time in advance. After entering the planning module, the control and regulation system compares the collected input plan data to plan different activity times and activity areas for people from different sources. At the same time, the impact of human activities in the activity time and activity area is analyzed in advance, and the regional environmental data to be regulated is stored. When a person is in the area at a predetermined time and place, the environment in the area is regulated to adapt to the coexistence of humans and plants. Some plants are not suitable for contact with the outside world during a certain period of time to avoid being affected by human activities. Therefore, when the plan setting module matches human activities to enter the planting area of such plants, it must avoid a certain period of time.

[0031] The environmental control unit includes a normal environment module, which corresponds to the general module. The normal environment module controls the environment inside the building according to the data provided by the conventional setting module or the planned setting module, so that the regulated environment inside the building meets the environmental requirements for plant growth or the environmental requirements for the coexistence of plants and humans; the conventional setting module includes a gas module, a temperature and humidity module, a lighting module, a wind speed and direction module and a growth law setting module. The normal environment module adjusts the gas in the gas module, the temperature and humidity in the temperature and humidity module, the lighting in the lighting module and the wind speed and direction in the wind speed and direction module according to the data on the plant growth law provided by the growth law setting module; the environmental control unit is used to adjust the environment in this control and adjustment system. Control, generally speaking, the essential conditions in the growth environment of plants are gas, temperature, humidity, light, etc. The normal environment module can set the necessary growth environment data for plant growth, so that plants can grow normally in the building. When humans enter the planting area in the building, the environmental control unit can also adjust the environment according to the data pre-set in the plan setting module, so that when humans enter, plants can still grow normally and humans will not have difficulty adapting. For example, when the plants in the planting area are anaerobic and human activities cannot lack oxygen, when the environmental control unit regulates the internal environment of the planting area, the gas module adjusts the oxygen input so that the oxygen in the area is absorbed by human activities to a certain extent, and will not affect the plants, thereby neutralizing and offsetting the impact;

[0032] The reservation unit includes an information preset module, an information entry module, an information matching module and an information generation module. The information preset module includes preset relevant data of human activities. The information entry module is used to record the preset selected relevant data and send the relevant data to the information matching module. The information matching module matches the matching data corresponding to the environmental data in the building based on the relevant data of human activities and sends the matching data to the information generation module. The information generation module compares the matching data with the environmental data in the building generated by the time planning module and the location planning module. When the two match, the information generation module generates the plan data and sends the plan data to the environmental control unit through the control analysis module. There is a lot of relevant data on human activities. For example, the gender and age of people involved in human activities, because people of different genders and ages require different environments, the control and regulation system pre-sets relevant data for different genders and ages, which can be data such as the oxygen content required by an underage female in a known area. When the control and regulation system receives a request to carry out human activities, the control personnel preset the data in the control and regulation system. For example, if three adults, two women and one man, need to enter a certain plant planting area in the building within a certain time period the next morning, the control and regulation system will regulate the environmental data at the specified time and place based on the pre-set data of the two women and one man. When the three people carry out human activities at the specified time and place, the environment at that time and place will meet the growth needs of the plants and will not affect human activities.

[0033] The plant cultivation unit includes a planting information module, a data recording module, a data analysis module, and a data storage module. The data recording module is used to record the growth environment data of the plants in the environment within the building. After the data analysis module analyzes the growth environment data of the plants, the analyzed growth environment data of the plants is sent to the data storage module for storage backup. In this unit, plants have been planted in the building, and the unit is used to record the growth information of the plants in the building. The planting information module is used to store the growth data of the plants in different environments. This module is used to record and collect data of the plants in other growth environments before they are planted in the building, so as to analyze and set the growth environment data that is most suitable for the plants in the building.

[0034] The planting information module includes a growth data storage module, which is connected to the general setting module through an analysis and comparison module and a data adjustment module. The analysis and comparison module compares and analyzes the necessary plant growth environment data collected in the growth data storage module with the environmental data in the general setting module, and then adjusts the data of the environment in the building to meet the necessary plant growth environment through the data adjustment module; the growth data storage module includes a breeding data module, a growth data module, a maturity data module and other data modules; when a certain type of plant is about to be planted in the building, at this time, since the control and adjustment system has not actually regulated the growth environment of this type of plant, the environmental data of the general setting module of this type of plant in the control and adjustment system is raw data. However, since the planting information module can collect relevant growth information of this type of plant, it can compare the data collected by the planting information module with the general setting module based on the raw data through the analysis and comparison module, and send the planting environment data of the area to the general setting module through the data adjustment module. After receiving the planting growth environment data of this type of plant, it can regulate a series of data such as gas and light;

[0035] The environmental control unit further includes an abnormal environment module, a timely control module and a warning notification module. The abnormal environment module is connected to the abnormal module via an environment comparison module and an abnormal analysis module. When the environment comparison module compares the real-time environmental data of the building's internal environment with the conventional environmental data of the building's internal environment, if the real-time environmental data is inconsistent with the conventional environmental data, it is determined that the environment is abnormal; the abnormal analysis module is used to analyze the data of the environmental abnormality and feed the data of the environmental abnormality back to the main control unit; the timely control module adjusts the environment in the building in a timely manner, issues an alarm to the outside through the warning notification module, and stores the data of the environmental abnormality in the abnormal module;

[0036] This control and regulation system can be programmed with LabVIEW and CS network structure. It can use XML parsing technology, DOM-based XPath parsing and CSS selector parsing. By parsing HTML, data can be effectively extracted and saved. It is based on TCP / IP network management, uses ORC, Parquet and other formats for storage, uses HiveonMR and Spark for calculation, and uses Presto, Impala and other queries for ROLAP class. The human-computer interface is friendly, intuitive and easy to operate. It only needs to configure the channel to complete the collection, storage and display of physical quantities. It is simple, intuitive and easy to use. The main controller uses PXI-8176 embedded controller with a main frequency of 1.2GHz and a memory of 512M, which can meet the requirements of long-term continuous acquisition. It has a GPIB interface, which can realize the cascading and control of desktop instruments and expand the scope of application.
