Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of agricultural ecological planting technology, and particularly relates to a fluorescence and energy storage coupled agricultural planting device. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, with the vigorous development of modern agricultural planting technology, many modern agricultural planting technologies, taking agricultural greenhouse as the first, have been widely applied. Modern agricultural planting technology generally has the advantages of high yield and good economic benefit, but at the same time, modern agricultural planting technology also has the problems of large occupied area, low efficiency, large environmental temperature difference due to seasonality and diurnal nature, and the need for energy consumption to use growth lamps to stimulate plant growth at night in order to increase plant growth speed.
[0003] The sun has rich resources of light and heat, and solar energy is an important renewable energy utilization method. Photovoltaic power generation is the most important utilization method of solar power generation at present, which utilizes the photovoltaic effect of semiconductor materials to generate electricity, and this method fully utilizes the light energy resources of the sun. In addition, the heat resources of the sun also have various utilization methods, such as photothermal power generation, solar water heater, solar collector, etc. Based on the richness and wide range of solar energy resources, in order to improve the energy utilization efficiency, many attempts have been made to utilize both sunlight and heat resources, such as some photovoltaic / thermal (PV / T) composite systems and photovoltaic / thermal composite power generation system technologies.
[0004] Especially noteworthy is that in the existing field of solar photovoltaics, the application of Fresnel lenses is quite popular. Fresnel lens, also known as screw thread lens, is a microstructure optical element, whose principle is mainly based on the curvature and refraction principle of the lens surface. Light is refracted on the lens surface, and the angle of refraction is determined by the curvature of the lens surface. The curvature of the lens surface can be accurately calculated and manufactured to achieve the focusing or diffusing effect of light. The surface of the Fresnel lens is smooth on one side, and the other side is engraved with concentric circular ring lines from small to large, i.e. the screw thread surface. Each ring can be regarded as a small convex or concave lens. When light passes through the Fresnel lens, each ring will focus or diffuse the light. When the light is perpendicular to the screw thread surface of the Fresnel lens, parallel light will be focused into a point through the lens. The design of the Fresnel lens makes it effective to converge light, and compared with traditional lenses, it can reduce the loss of light and improve the efficiency of light concentration.
[0005] At present, the Fresnel lens is mainly applied in the field of solar photovoltaic. In the field of solar photovoltaic, the Fresnel lens is mainly used as a light collecting component in a concentrating photovoltaic system to convert light from a relatively large area into a relatively small area. Among them, the cheap Fresnel lens is generally made of transparent plastic by pressure casting or molding, and its size can be made larger than glass while being lighter and more economical, so large Fresnel lenses are also widely used in solar stoves to concentrate sunlight or solar water heaters.
[0006] In the context of actually applying the Fresnel lens, in order to achieve better light collecting effect, the parallel light is usually made to be perpendicular to the thread surface of the lens when using the Fresnel lens to collect light, at this time, the light intensity of the focal spot is the strongest and the light collecting effect is the best. However, when the light is not perpendicular to the thread surface of the Fresnel lens, the focal point of the light collecting will shift with the shift of the incident angle, so that the Fresnel lens will deviate from the original design scene in actual application. In order to achieve better light collecting effect and fit the application scene, a light tracking module is often added, such as in the Chinese patent with publication (announcement) number CN104663266B, in order to make the light collecting system composed of the Fresnel lens achieve better utilization of sunlight, a linkage control system is added, which is used to adjust the angle of the light splitting system according to the incident angle of the sunlight, so that at different times, the solar cell panel in the light splitting module can be at the light collecting focal plane of the Fresnel lens at a better angle. However, the light tracking module often has the defects of complex structure, large volume and high preparation cost, which greatly limits the application of the Fresnel lens.
[0007] In addition, it is found through exploration that the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent material after excitation can supplement the light for the growth of plants, so as to improve the growth environment of crops and improve the planting benefit.
[0008] Therefore, if an agricultural planting device capable of efficiently utilizing solar light and heat resources and promoting plant growth by using fluorescent materials can be provided to reduce the energy consumption of agricultural production, optimize the plant growth environment, promote plant growth and improve the planting benefit, it will have great significance for the development of modern agricultural planting technology.

[0084] Further, the heat collecting unit 5 is formed by a phase change material filled in the heat storage bin 201, and preferably, the phase change material is a solid-liquid phase change material.
[0085] As some examples of the present application, the phase change material can be one or more of paraffin, fatty acid / ester, hydrated inorganic salt, etc.
[0086] Further, as shown in Figures 8-9 In the present application, an angle between the support 1 and a horizontal plane is denoted as a support inclination angle a. In order to set a proper support inclination angle a, in the present application, it is considered that plant growth and development is generally carried out in spring and summer, and the diurnal temperature difference is large in spring, and the plant has a large demand for heat storage. At the same time, in order to achieve maximum heat storage, it is required that the sunlight is perpendicular to the Fresnel lens 301 at the time of the strongest irradiation intensity at noon. Therefore, the present application uses the solar altitude angle at noon on the equinox day as the size of the support inclination angle a, wherein the solar altitude angle is an angle between the sunlight and the horizontal plane.
[0087] In addition, it is known that the sun's direct point gradually changes over time within a year. For the northern hemisphere where China is located, the sun's direct point can be as far north as the Tropic of Cancer, which is the summer solstice day and the time of the largest solar altitude angle at noon in the whole year. The sun's direct point can be as far south as the Tropic of Capricorn, which is the winter solstice day and the time of the smallest solar altitude angle at noon in the whole year. The support inclination angle a designed in the present application is the solar altitude angle at noon on the equinox day. Therefore, with the change of the solar altitude angle at noon within a year, the focusing point of the Fresnel lens 301 on the sunlight at noon will gradually move, and the maximum deviation of the focusing point is on the summer solstice day and the winter solstice day. On this basis, in order to make the light be focused in the heat storage bin 201 at the time of the strongest irradiation intensity at noon within a year, and to achieve the maximum heat storage, the width or diameter of the heat storage bin 201 can be designed and calculated, i.e. the distance between the focusing point of the Fresnel lens 301 on the sunlight at noon on the winter solstice day and the focusing point of the Fresnel lens 301 on the sunlight at noon on the summer solstice day.
[0088] As shown in Figures 8-10 The calculation process of the distance between the focusing point of the Fresnel lens 301 on the sunlight at noon on the winter solstice day and the focusing point of the Fresnel lens 301 on the sunlight at noon on the summer solstice day is described as follows: Figure 10The sun light ray diagram of the spring equinox and the summer solstice is shown, wherein the angle theta is the winter solstice noon sun elevation angle, the angle gamma is the summer solstice noon sun elevation angle, and the angle beta is the difference between the angle gamma and the angle theta. In addition, x is the horizontal distance between the vertexes of the angle theta and the angle gamma, and then x is the distance between the focusing point of the Fresnel lens 301 on the sun light at the winter solstice noon and the focusing point of the Fresnel lens 301 on the sun light at the summer solstice noon. According to the trigonometric function, the length of the hypotenuse of the two right-angled triangles corresponding to the angle theta and the angle gamma can be easily obtained, and then the offset distance x can be obtained according to the cosine law. In addition, it can be known that Figure 10 The vertical height y is affected by the size of the support 1, and the size of the support 1 will cause the size of x to change.
[0089] Further, as shown in the figure, Figures 11-13 The support of the Fresnel lens 301 doped with fluorescent material is designed to have an inclination angle alpha, so that the sun light is vertically incident on the Fresnel lens 301 at the time period when the irradiation intensity is the largest during the day, and then focused in the heat storage bin 201 below the Fresnel lens 301. The focused solar energy causes the phase change heat storage material in the heat storage bin 201 to melt, thereby storing the heat to the maximum extent. When the sun light is not vertically incident on the Fresnel lens 301 doped with fluorescent material, it is focused on the solar cell panel 401 by offset. At this time, the photovoltaic power generation unit 4 can generate electric energy through the photovoltaic effect.
[0090] The application innovatively utilizes the light which is vertically incident and not vertically incident on the Fresnel lens 301, without the need for a light ray tracking module. Through ingenious design, the Fresnel lens 301 is combined with different application scenarios corresponding to different incident angles, so that the application range is wider, and the investment cost is reduced.
[0091] In the application, the heat storage and heat preservation system includes paraffin phase change heat storage material, a heat storage bin and a basin support structure. The support of the Fresnel light collecting lens doped with fluorescent material is designed to have an inclination angle, so that the sun light is vertically incident on the lens at the time period when the light irradiation is the largest during the day, and then focused in the heat storage bin below the lens. The focused solar energy causes the paraffin phase change heat storage material in the heat storage bin to melt, thereby storing the heat. At night, when the air temperature decreases, the heat storage material re-solidifies, releases heat, delays the temperature drop time, and plays a certain heat preservation role for the growth of plants.
[0092] The working process of the agricultural planting device is described as follows: Figures 11-13As shown, when the light is vertically incident on the Fresnel lens 301, the light is focused in the heat storage bin 3, and heat storage is realized by the phase change material; when the light is obliquely incident on the Fresnel lens 301, the light is focused on the solar cell panel 401, and the utilization of light energy is realized by photovoltaic power generation. Meanwhile, the Fresnel lens 301 is doped with fluorescent material, and the light of the wave band which has less effect on plant growth can be absorbed by the fluorescent material, and the fluorescent light of the wave band which is more needed for plant growth is emitted to the planting area 202 of the plant, so as to supplement the light for the plant. Further, in the photovoltaic power generation unit 4, when the solar cell panel 401 is irradiated by sunlight, electric energy is generated and transmitted to the charge and discharge management module, and then transmitted to the energy storage battery for storage; when the electric energy stored in the energy storage battery needs to be used, the electric energy of the battery can be output through the USB interface on the charge and discharge management module, and can be used for connecting the plant growth lamp to supplement the light for the plant at night.
[0093] In addition, in the present application, it is found through experiments that when the light is vertically incident on the Fresnel lens 301, the focused light spot is circular, and with the deviation of the light incidence angle, the focused light spot is gradually deviated from the point focus, becomes an ellipse, and even becomes unilateral divergence. Therefore, according to the experimental results, a plurality of solar cell panels 401 are reasonably arranged. During the day, when the sunlight is not vertically incident on the Fresnel lens 301 doped with fluorescent material, the sunlight is deviated and focused on the solar cell panel 401, the solar cell panel 401 generates current through the photovoltaic effect, the current flows through the controller, and then is stored in the energy storage battery through the connection loop; at night, when there is no sunlight, the energy storage battery supplies power to the plant growth lamp through the charge and discharge management module, so as to supplement the light for the growth of the plant. Meanwhile, the fluorescent material is excited by sunlight, and the light of the wave band which has less effect on plant growth can be absorbed, and the fluorescent light of the wave band which is more needed for plant growth is emitted.
[0094] In summary, the present application is mainly inspired by the front-end use of fluorescent material and high-performance heat storage material, and an agricultural planting device coupled with fluorescent material and energy storage is constructed, the purpose of which is to reduce the production energy consumption of agriculture, respectively utilize the characteristics of heat storage material, photovoltaic power generation technology and fluorescent material, realize the full utilization of light energy and heat energy brought by sunlight, make the production plant have a better growth environment, and achieve higher planting income.
[0095] Specifically, in the agricultural planting device, the main structure of the agricultural planting device is formed by the support 1 and the planting pot 2, the energy utilization system of the agricultural planting device is formed by the light condensing unit 3, the photovoltaic power generation unit 4 and the heat collecting unit 5, the coupling of light condensation and heat storage materials is realized through the geometric optical structure, heat storage and heat preservation are carried out in the agricultural planting process, and the temperature difference of plant growth is reduced; meanwhile, the fluorescent solar collector (LSCs) prepared by the combination of the fluorescent material and the Fresnel lens is coupled with the solar cell panel to generate electricity, the energy consumption of agricultural production is reduced, a certain economic benefit is generated by using the abundant electricity, the fluorescence emitted after the excitation of the fluorescent material is used to supplement the light for the growth of plants, and the purpose of improving the growth environment of crops and generating higher plant planting benefits is achieved.
[0096] In actual use, different scales and types of agricultural planting devices can be designed for agricultural greenhouse and garden planting, so that better growth environment is provided for plants while reducing energy consumption, and plant production is promoted.
[0097] Compared with the existing solar energy utilization device, the agricultural planting device has the following advantages:
[0098] Firstly, the agricultural planting device does not need to track the sun module, and the inclination of the support 1 and the use of the fluorescent solar collector (LSCs) are ingeniously designed, so that the agricultural planting device has two working states, can fully utilize the sunlight vertically incident and non-vertically incident to the Fresnel lens 301, realizes the comprehensive utilization of the light energy and heat energy generated by the sunlight, and improves the efficiency and economic benefit.
[0099] Secondly, the agricultural planting device innovatively combines the fluorescent material and the energy storage device together, light and temperature are two very important aspects for plant growth, the fluorescent material in the present application can absorb light of a wavelength that has little effect on plant growth, and emit fluorescent light of a wavelength that is more beneficial to plant growth, so as to supplement the light conditions of plants; meanwhile, the heat collecting unit 5 can save a certain amount of heat to provide better temperature conditions for the growth of plants, the photovoltaic power generation unit 4 can generate electricity by using sunlight and supply power to electric devices such as plant growth lamps, and each unit cooperates with each other to ultimately realize the purpose of improving the growth environment of crops, promoting crop production and improving economic benefit.
[0100] Compared with the existing agricultural planting technology, the agricultural planting device has the following advantages:
[0101] (1) In the plant growth environment level: the agricultural planting device uses the characteristic that the fluorescent material can absorb the light of a small band of action on plant growth and emit the fluorescent light of a band more needed by plant growth, to provide a better environment for plant growth. In addition, the heat storage and preservation device is used to adjust the temperature of plant growth through the latent heat storage and release of the phase change heat storage material, to play a certain heat preservation role. At the same time, the agricultural planting device also uses photovoltaic power generation and stores the power during the day, and supplies power for the grow light at night to make up for the light for plant growth, to promote plant growth and improve planting efficiency.
[0102] (2) In terms of energy saving and emission reduction: the agricultural planting device uses the light and heat resources of the sun, fully utilizes the sunlight which is not vertically incident to the LSCs, and makes it irradiate on the solar cell panel 401 to generate electric energy. Through the selection of reasonable solar cell panel 401 and plant grow light, the photovoltaic power generation can be used to supply power for the plant grow light, to realize self-production and self-sale and save energy.
[0103] Test Example 1: Test support for non-vertical incidence Fresnel lens light path
[0104] Because the Fresnel lens is fixed in the design of the device, the movement of the sun will inevitably cause the movement of the focused light spot and the change of its shape. In order to reasonably utilize the light focusing of the non-vertical incidence Fresnel lens and determine the arrangement of the solar cell panel, the non-vertical incidence Fresnel lens light path test is carried out in this project.
[0105] Specifically, the test device as shown in Figure 14 is built according to the agricultural planting device of the present application, and the light focusing result of the non-vertical incidence Fresnel lens is studied by using the test device, and the experimental result is shown in Figures 15-17 It is found in the test that when the light source is incident at 90°, 70° and 50° respectively, the focused light spot shape of the Fresnel lens gradually deviates from the point focusing, becomes an ellipse and then diverges on one side.
[0106] The above test result provides a basis for the design of the present application. Without the light tracing module, the solar cell panel is designed to form a battery group in a radial shape for reasonably utilizing the light of the non-vertical incidence Fresnel lens.
[0107] At the same time, it is found through the test that within a day, as shown in Figure 13 , the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and except at noon, the sunlight at different times will be deflected and focused on the solar cell panel by the Fresnel lens, so as to realize photovoltaic power generation. Thus, the purpose of maximizing the utilization of the light focusing of the non-vertical incidence Fresnel lens is achieved without the light tracing device.

Figure 14 The actual model shown serves as the experimental setup, in which the type of solar cell array, the model of the grow lamp, the model of the fluorescent material, the paraffin phase change heat storage material, and the size of the planting pot were selected. A control plant planting experiment was then conducted based on these specifications. The results and indicators obtained through various calculations and experiments performed on this device demonstrate the feasibility of implementing this invention, as detailed below:
[0110] 1. Photovoltaic power generation unit
[0111] In this system, the verification process uses a daily average temperature correction model to estimate the annual power generation of the solar cell array. At the same time, the power consumption of the growth lamp used in this invention is calculated. The solar cell array indicators used in the calculation are shown in Table 1, and the calculation results are shown in Tables 2 and 3.
[0112] The specific details of the model simplification are as follows:
[0113] (1) At 1000W / m 2 Using irradiation as a baseline and assuming a constant temperature throughout the day, the efficiency of the solar cell array is adjusted.
[0114] (2) The solar cell power variation for the entire month is roughly represented by the 15th of each month.

[0122] The data in the table shows that the daily power generation of the solar cell arrays used in this invention is far greater than the daily power consumption of the grow lights. The annual power generation of this device can reach 41477.347Wh. This calculation shows that this device can meet the daily power requirements of the grow lights, and at the same time, the surplus power can be used to generate certain economic benefits.

The results are shown in Table 4.
[0126] Theoretical calculations show that the thermal storage material has certain heat preservation properties, which can completely compensate for the heat loss caused by the basin.
