Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of precision planting technology, and more specifically, to a mobile device for regulating the microclimate environment of tropical orchards. Background Technology

[0002] With the impact of global climate change, fruit cultivation in tropical regions faces increasingly severe environmental pressures. Extreme cooling, high temperatures, humidity limitations, and insufficient sunlight lead to difficulties in plant growth and increase the risk of disasters and diseases. To improve the yield and quality of tropical fruits, a mobile device is needed to effectively regulate key growth factors such as temperature, humidity, and light.

[0003] In tropical regions, climate conditions are highly variable, and extreme weather events are frequent, significantly impacting fruit tree growth. Furthermore, due to rainfall and seasonality in tropical areas, the growth cycle of tropical fruit trees is longer than in other regions, resulting in lower quality and yield. In particular, extreme cooling can cause frost damage, stunted growth, nutrient imbalances, and increased pests and diseases in fruit trees. Yunnan is an important fruit-producing region, with widespread cultivation of fruits such as dragon fruit and mango. Extreme cooling can cause frost damage to flower buds and blossoms, leading to impaired flowering and consequently affecting fruit set and yield. The potential impact of high temperatures on tropical fruits extends to multiple aspects, including fruit development, taste, nutritional value, and yield. Therefore, how to improve the quality of tropical fruit trees through microclimate regulation has attracted widespread attention. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a mobile device for regulating the microclimate environment of tropical orchards, which can regulate the microclimate environment of crops in tropical orchards and realize functions such as rainwater collection, solar energy storage, and crop shading.

[0006] The support includes a column and a base, wherein the column is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base;

[0007] The rainwater collection unit, fixedly connected to the top of the column, includes a first photovoltaic panel, a second photovoltaic panel, and a third photovoltaic panel coaxially arranged, arranged sequentially from the center outwards. The bottom of the second and third photovoltaic panels is equipped with a lifting structure, which controls the raising and lowering of the third and second photovoltaic panels respectively. When the centers of the first, second, and third photovoltaic panels are at the same height, their upper surfaces form a water collection surface to collect rainwater during rainfall and a photovoltaic power generation surface to absorb sunlight during sunny days. When the third and second photovoltaic panels are at different heights, they drain water.

[0008] A water storage section is connected to the lower part of the rainwater collection section and is used to store rainwater.

[0009] The lighting section includes multiple light sources that simulate natural light, and the multiple light sources are located on the side of the column.

[0011] In one feasible embodiment, the lifting structure includes a housing and a first connecting rod fixedly connected to the bottom surface of a third photovoltaic panel. The first connecting rod extends downward and its bottom is drivenly connected to a first motor, which controls the lifting of the first connecting rod.

[0012] In one feasible embodiment, a second connecting rod is sleeved on the first connecting rod, a fixing member is provided at the lower part of the top plate of the housing, the second connecting rod is threadedly connected to the fixing member, the second connecting rod is slidably connected to the middle of the first connecting rod, and the top of the second connecting rod is threadedly connected to the fixing member; a second lead screw nut is provided on the second connecting rod, a second belt is sleeved on the second lead screw nut, and the second lead screw nut is driven to rotate by the forward or reverse rotation of the second motor, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the second connecting rod, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the second photovoltaic panel.

[0013] In one feasible approach, the bottom of the housing is fixedly connected to the base via a fixing rod.

[0014] In one feasible approach, a motion control unit is provided at the bottom of the base, and the motion control unit includes multiple rollers.

[0015] In one feasible embodiment, the rainwater collection unit further includes a water level sensor disposed on the photovoltaic panel. The water level sensor is disposed on the upper surface of the rainwater collection unit. When the water level sensor detects that the water level is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the lifting mechanism controls the lifting of the second photovoltaic panel and the third photovoltaic panel to perform drainage and rainwater collection.

[0016] In one feasible embodiment, the water storage unit includes a water tank disposed within a base, the top of which communicates with a cavity in the column.

[0017] In one feasible embodiment, a water pump is installed at the bottom of the water tank to transport the stored water in the water tank to a rainwater collection section; the lower surface of the rainwater collection section is evenly distributed with multiple atomizing nozzles, which atomize the stored water and spray it.

[0018] In one feasible embodiment, a water supply pipe is provided at a predetermined position on the top of the water tank. When the water level in the water tank exceeds a predetermined value, the stored water is discharged through the water supply pipe. The water supply pipe can also be connected to an external water source.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0020] In the technical solution of this application, by monitoring rainwater and temperature, the operating mode of the water-temperature-light mobile combined system can be changed according to changes in the surrounding environment. On rainy days, rainwater is collected by the rainwater collection unit and transported to the water storage unit. On sunny days, solar energy is converted into electrical energy for storage and use. When the temperature is too low, the heating mechanism heats the water source and maintains it at a certain temperature. The stored water is then pumped to the atomizing nozzles for spraying, thereby raising the ambient temperature. When the temperature is too high, the pump sprays the stored water through the atomizing nozzles, thereby lowering the ambient temperature.

[0021] This application achieves rainwater collection, solar energy conversion into electricity, alteration of ambient temperature, and a certain degree of shading effect through an integrated water, temperature, and light design. It achieves the goals of water and energy conservation, as well as promoting life and mitigating disasters. At the same time, it reduces installation workload, saves costs, and facilitates promotion.

[0034] This application provides a mobile device for regulating the microclimate environment of tropical orchards. It can be used in orchards to collect rainwater, convert solar energy into electricity and store it for system operation, and adjust the temperature according to changes in ambient temperature, cooling down when the temperature is too high and preventing the temperature from being too low, so as to promote the growth and reduce disasters of tropical orchards.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application provides a mobile device for regulating the microclimate environment of tropical forest orchards, comprising: a support unit, a rainwater collection unit, a water storage unit, and a light source unit.

[0036] Support 1 includes a fixedly connected column and a base, and supports 1 provides stable support for the entire system;

[0037] Rainwater collection unit 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the column, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a first photovoltaic panel 8, a second photovoltaic panel 9, and a third photovoltaic panel 10 arranged coaxially, with the third photovoltaic panel 10, the second photovoltaic panel 9, and the first photovoltaic panel 8 arranged sequentially outward from the center. A lifting mechanism 11 is provided at the bottom of the second photovoltaic panel 9 and the third photovoltaic panel 10, which is used to control the third photovoltaic panel 10 and the second photovoltaic panel 9 to be raised to different heights respectively. When excessive water accumulates at the top of the rainwater collection section 2, the third photovoltaic panel 10 and the second photovoltaic panel 9 are raised to different heights for rapid drainage. When the centers of the first photovoltaic panel 8, the second photovoltaic panel 9, and the third photovoltaic panel 10 are set at the same height, their upper surfaces form a water collection surface to collect rainwater during rainfall, and a photovoltaic power generation surface to absorb light energy on sunny days.

[0038] Water storage section 3 is connected to the lower part of the rainwater collection section 2 and is used to store rainwater.

[0039] Lighting section 4 is located on the column and is used to simulate natural light and provide suitable light for supplementing light to plants to promote growth.

[0040] In one feasible embodiment, the upper surfaces of the first photovoltaic panel 8 and the second photovoltaic panel 9 are concave surfaces with a downward-facing center. The third photovoltaic panel 10 is a planar photovoltaic panel. The first photovoltaic panel 8 and the second photovoltaic panel 9 are used to collect rainwater to the center, and by making the third photovoltaic panel 10 a planar photovoltaic panel, rainwater drainage is facilitated.

[0041] It should be noted that the third photovoltaic panel 10 can also be designed as a convex surface with the center protruding upwards, to further prevent rainwater from being unable to drain from the center of the third photovoltaic panel 10.

[0042] In one feasible embodiment, the lifting mechanism 11 includes a housing 23 and a first connecting rod 12 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the third photovoltaic panel 10. The first connecting rod 12 extends downward and its bottom is connected to a first motor 15 for transmission. The lifting of the first connecting rod 12 is controlled by the first motor 15.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the first connecting rod 12 is a threaded rod, and the bottom of the first connecting rod 12 is threadedly connected to the housing 23. The first motor 15 is connected to the first connecting rod 12 through the first belt 25. A first lead screw nut is set on the first connecting rod 12, and the first belt 25 is sleeved on the first lead screw nut. By rotating the first motor 15 forward or backward, the first lead screw nut is driven to rotate, thereby controlling the first connecting rod 12 to rise and fall, thereby controlling the third photovoltaic panel 10 to rise and fall.

[0044] A second connecting rod 13 is fitted onto the first connecting rod 12. A fixing member 27 is provided at the lower part of the top plate of the outer casing. The second connecting rod 13 is threadedly connected to the fixing member 27. The second connecting rod 13 is slidably connected to the middle of the first connecting rod 12, and the top of the second connecting rod 13 is threadedly connected to the fixing member. A second lead screw nut is provided on the second connecting rod 13, and a second belt 26 is fitted onto the second lead screw nut. By rotating the second motor 14 forward or backward, the second lead screw nut is driven to rotate, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the second connecting rod 13, and thus controlling the lifting and lowering of the second photovoltaic panel 9.

[0045] It should be noted that the bottom of the outer casing 23 is fixedly connected to the base via a fixing rod 22. The column has an internal cavity for conveying rainwater. The fixing rod 22 is located within the cavity of the column. The column is a pipe with a diameter of 5cm, and a filter element 6 is installed at the bottom of the column, positioned 10cm above the bottom surface, to filter the collected rainwater.

[0046] In this embodiment, after the center of the third photovoltaic panel 10 is raised to 20cm above the center of the first photovoltaic panel 8 by the first motor 15, the center of the second photovoltaic panel 9 is raised to 10cm above the center of the first photovoltaic panel 8 by the second motor 14. At this time, overflow outlets are formed between the second photovoltaic panel 9 and the third photovoltaic panel 10, and between the first photovoltaic panel 8 and the second photovoltaic panel 9. During rainy weather, rainwater is collected through these overflow outlets. The presence of two overflow outlets allows for rainwater collection even in cases of heavy rainfall. On sunny days, the centers of the first photovoltaic panel 8, the second photovoltaic panel 9, and the third photovoltaic panel 10 are controlled to be at the same height, allowing the photovoltaic panels to convert solar energy into electrical energy for energy storage. Furthermore, the photovoltaic panels can provide shade for crops.

[0047] In one feasible embodiment, a motion control unit 5 is provided at the bottom of the base. The motion control unit 5 includes four rollers 24, which are used to move the application to a predetermined position.

[0048] It should be noted that a latch 21 is provided on the roller 24, which is used to lock the roller 24. The roller 24 can also be set as a controllable roller, so that the roller 24 cannot rotate on its own when it does not need to move.

[0049] In one feasible embodiment, the application further includes a water level sensor located on the upper side of the rainwater collection unit 2. When the water level sensor detects that the water level is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the lifting mechanism controls the lifting of the second photovoltaic panel 9 and the third photovoltaic panel 10 to collect rainwater.

[0050] In one feasible approach, such as Figure 4 As shown, the water storage section includes a water tank 16 located inside the base, and the top of the water tank 16 communicates with the cavity of the column.

[0051] In one feasible approach, such as Figure 4 As shown, a water pump 18 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 16, which transports the stored water in the water tank 16 to the rainwater collection section 2. Multiple atomizing nozzles 7 are evenly distributed on the lower surface of the rainwater collection section 2. The atomizing nozzles 7 are connected to the water pump 18 via a delivery pipe, so as to spray the crops located below the rainwater collection section with the water stored in the water tank 16, ensuring the uniformity of the spray.

[0052] It should be noted that a water supply pipe 19 is installed at a predetermined position on the top of the water tank 16. When the water level in the water tank 16 exceeds a predetermined value, water will be discharged through the water supply pipe 19. During the dry season, external water sources can also be connected to the water tank 16 through the water supply pipe 19. A drain pipe 20 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 16. When water is needed outdoors, staff can open the valve on the drain pipe 20 to draw water for use.

[0053] In one feasible approach, such as Figure 4 As shown, a heating mechanism 17 is installed inside the water tank 16 to heat the water stored in the tank 16. A temperature sensor is installed on the side of the base to detect the ambient temperature. When the temperature is less than or equal to a second threshold, the heating mechanism 17 is activated to heat the water. When the temperature is greater than or equal to a third threshold, the atomizing nozzle 7 is activated to spray water for cooling.

[0054] It should be noted that the second threshold is 5℃ and the third threshold is 35℃.

[0055] In one feasible embodiment, the illumination section 4 includes multiple lamp panels 28, and multiple grooves are provided on the side of the column, such as... Figure 6 As shown, multiple light panels 28 are rotatably installed in each of the grooves.

[0056] It should be noted that the light section 4 can be adjusted according to the changes in the plant's growth cycle to simulate natural light and provide suitable illumination for supplemental lighting to promote plant growth. When in use, the light panel 28 is flipped over to turn on the light source. When not in use, the light panel 28 is flipped over to turn off the light source, preventing damage from rain, sunlight, etc., from affecting its use.

[0057] Tropical fruit production faces numerous challenges, including water scarcity, temperature fluctuations, and natural disasters. To improve the yield and quality of tropical fruits, an innovative mobile device is needed. This device can regulate the microclimate of tropical orchards by controlling temperature and humidity, promoting tree growth and development while mitigating the impact of natural disasters. Traditional fruit tree cultivation methods are labor-intensive and resource-intensive, and cannot adapt to extreme weather conditions. In recent years, with the continuous development of automation technology, various intelligent devices have been widely applied to fruit tree cultivation. However, existing technologies still have many limitations, such as single function, fixed location, and high energy consumption.

[0058] This application, through monitoring rainwater and temperature, enables the water-temperature-light mobile combined system to change its operating mode according to changes in the surrounding environment. On rainy days, rainwater is collected by the rainwater collection unit 2 and transported to the water storage unit 3. On sunny days, solar energy is converted into electrical energy for storage and use. When the temperature is too low, the heating mechanism 17 heats the water source and maintains it at a certain temperature. The stored water is then pumped by the water pump 18 to the atomizing nozzles 7 for spraying, thereby raising the ambient temperature. When the temperature is too high, the water pump 18 sprays the stored water through the atomizing nozzles 7, thereby lowering the ambient temperature.

[0059] This application achieves rainwater collection, solar energy conversion into electricity, alteration of ambient temperature, and a certain degree of shading effect through an integrated water, temperature, and light design. It achieves the goals of water and energy conservation, as well as promoting life and mitigating disasters. At the same time, it reduces installation workload, saves costs, and facilitates promotion.

[0060] It should be noted that this application can also be used for the layout of experimental fields in scientific research to improve the environmental conditions of the experimental fields. It can also be used for rainwater collection in intermittently arid areas.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
