[0003] One of the main challenges facing vertical farming is controlling production costs, especially energy costs. Although vertical planting can reduce the demand for fossil energy, the operation of a large number of LED lights requires a lot of electricity, so it takes about 38.8kw·h of energy to produce 1kg of food in a vertical farm. These high production costs result in the selling price of products being several times higher than traditional agricultural products. We can significantly reduce the production costs of vertical farming by utilizing solar energy. Current vertical farming systems have not yet fully utilized solar energy to provide light for plants.

[0035] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essential spirit of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural modes and implementation modes. Therefore, the following specific implementation modes and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be regarded as the whole of the present invention or as a limitation or restriction to the technical solution of the present invention. Example 1
[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a lighting device based on a Fresnel lens includes a Fresnel lens 50, a light trap mechanism 60 is connected to the bottom of the Fresnel lens 50, a filter 80 is connected to the bottom of the light trap mechanism 60, a beam splitter 91 is connected to the beam splitter 91, and a plurality of optical cables 90 are connected to the beam splitter 91;
[0037] The light is gathered by the Fresnel lens 50 and the light trap mechanism 60, and the filter 80 is used to obtain the light wavelength required by the specific plant, so as to obtain effective light energy. This step is very important because different types of plants have different requirements for light. Some plants need more red light, while others need more blue light. By setting the filter 80, it can be ensured that the wavelength of the light meets the growth requirements of the plant, so as to maximize the utilization efficiency of light energy. Once the effective light is obtained, the next role is the beam splitter 91. The beam splitter 91 can guide the light to each cultivation tray separately to ensure that each plant can fully obtain the required light. This precise light distribution is an important part of the indoor plant cultivation system, which can ensure that the plants obtain sufficient light during the growth process, thereby promoting their healthy growth and development.
[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the light trap mechanism 60 includes a ring reflector 61, a truncated cone lens 62, a second conical reflector 63, a conical lens 64 and a first conical reflector 65. The second conical reflector 63 is fixed with the truncated cone lens 62 on the top, the second conical reflector 63 is located on the outside of the truncated cone lens 62 and the ring reflector 61 is fixed on the top, the first conical reflector 65 is arranged inside the second conical reflector 63, the first conical reflector 65 is fixed with the conical lens 64 on the top, and the first conical reflector 65 and the second conical reflector 63 are concentrically arranged.
[0039] The outer side of the annular reflector 61 is made of shading material, and the inner side is a reflector; the outer side of the truncated cone lens 62 is a lens, and the inner side is a reflector, and light can only enter but not exit; the outer side of the second conical reflector 63 is made of shading material, and the inner side is a reflector; the outer side of the conical lens 64 is a lens, and the inner side is a reflector, and light can only enter but not exit; the inner and outer sides of the first conical reflector 65 are reflectors.
[0040] The bottom end of the first conical reflector 65 and the bottom end of the second conical reflector 63 are in the same plane.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a frame 52 is fixed to the outside of the Fresnel lens 50, and both sides of the frame 52 are rotatably connected to the support frame 30. The support frame 30 is provided with a pitch angle adjuster 40 for driving the Fresnel lens 50 to rotate vertically. The rotation angle adjuster 20 is placed as a whole on the fixed base 10, and the position of the rotation angle adjuster 20 is restricted by the fixed base 10.
[0042] The support frame 30 and the water tank 100 are both fixed on the rotation angle adjuster 20, and the rotation angle adjuster 20 drives the Fresnel lens 50 to rotate in the horizontal direction.
[0043] Specifically, by adopting the light trap mechanism 60 of this structural setting, the device can collect light from different directions, so that the light intensity irradiating the plants is higher, which is beneficial to the growth and development of the plants. In addition, the automatic adjustment function of the device can also reduce the need for manual intervention, improve utilization efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.
[0044] After passing through the Fresnel lens 50, the light will be focused to a focal point. Then, a light trap mechanism 60 is added at a distance in front of the focal point. The cone angle of the second conical reflector 63 of the lower layer is greater than or equal to the first conical reflector 65 of the lower layer to ensure that the light can be transmitted normally. The light entering the light trap mechanism 60 has a variety of different directions. Therefore, the invention adopts different strategies according to the different angles of the light. When the light directly enters the interior of the light trap mechanism 60, the light will be transmitted all the way to the bottom by the second conical reflector 63 and the first conical reflector 65 of the lower layer.
[0045] like Figure 7As shown, when light enters from directly above the first conical reflector 65, it will be absorbed by the conical lens 64, and then transmitted to the bottom through the reflection of the conical lens 64 on the upper layer and the first conical reflector 65 on the lower layer;
[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, when light enters the light trap mechanism 60 at an oblique angle, it will be absorbed by the frustum lens 62, and then transmitted through the second conical reflector 63, and finally repeat the above transmission process;
[0047] The flexibility and diversity of the light trap design enables the light trap device to effectively capture and guide light at various angles, providing more possibilities for the application of optical systems.
[0048] A photosensitive element 51 is arranged on the Fresnel lens 50. In conjunction with the settings of the rotation angle adjuster 20 and the pitch angle adjuster 40, the light-facing angle of the Fresnel lens 50 can be adjusted according to the intensity of sunlight. When the intensity of sunlight changes, the photosensitive element 51 can sense the change in light and send a signal to the rotation angle adjuster 20 and the pitch angle adjuster 40 to adjust the angle of the Fresnel lens 50 to obtain the best lighting effect. This structural setting always maintains the best light collection efficiency, improves the utilization rate of light energy, and provides a more stable and efficient light energy receiving solution for the application. Example 2
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, a lighting device based on a Fresnel lens includes a Fresnel lens 50, a light trap mechanism 60 is connected to the bottom of the Fresnel lens 50, a filter 80 is connected to the bottom of the light trap mechanism 60, a beam splitter 91 is connected to the beam splitter 91, and a plurality of optical cables 90 are connected to the beam splitter 91;
[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the light trap mechanism 60 includes a ring reflector 61, a truncated cone lens 62, a second conical reflector 63, a conical lens 64 and a first conical reflector 65. The second conical reflector 63 is fixed with the truncated cone lens 62 on the top, the second conical reflector 63 is located on the outside of the truncated cone lens 62 and the ring reflector 61 is fixed on the top, the first conical reflector 65 is arranged inside the second conical reflector 63, the first conical reflector 65 is fixed with the conical lens 64 on the top, and the first conical reflector 65 and the second conical reflector 63 are concentrically arranged.
[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom end of the first conical reflector 65 is located inside the second conical reflector 63 , and a reverse conical lens 110 is connected to the bottom of the first conical reflector 65 .
[0052] This structural setting can prevent the bottom from overheating. By adding a reverse conical lens 110, the reverse conical lens 110 has a lens on the outside and a reflector on the inside, which can converge the bottom side light into the reverse conical lens 110, increase the light-emitting area, and reduce heat generation.
[0053] A lens frame 52 is fixed to the outside of the Fresnel lens 50 . Both sides of the lens frame 52 are rotatably connected to the support frame 30 . The support frame 30 is provided with a pitch angle adjuster 40 for driving the Fresnel lens 50 to rotate vertically.
[0054] The support frame 30 and the water tank 100 are both fixed on the rotation angle adjuster 20, and the rotation angle adjuster 20 drives the Fresnel lens 50 to rotate in the horizontal direction. Example 3
[0055] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a lighting device based on a Fresnel lens includes a Fresnel lens 50, a light trap mechanism 60 is connected to the bottom of the Fresnel lens 50, a filter 80 is connected to the bottom of the light trap mechanism 60, a beam splitter 91 is connected to the beam splitter 91, and a plurality of optical cables 90 are connected to the beam splitter 91;
[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the light trap mechanism 60 includes a ring reflector 61, a truncated cone lens 62, a second conical reflector 63, a conical lens 64 and a first conical reflector 65. The second conical reflector 63 is fixed with the truncated cone lens 62 on the top, the second conical reflector 63 is located on the outside of the truncated cone lens 62 and the ring reflector 61 is fixed on the top, the first conical reflector 65 is arranged inside the second conical reflector 63, the first conical reflector 65 is fixed with the conical lens 64 on the top, and the first conical reflector 65 and the second conical reflector 63 are concentrically arranged.
[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the bottom end of the first conical reflector 65 is located inside the second conical reflector 63 , and a relay lens 120 is connected to the bottom of the first conical reflector 65 . The relay lens 120 includes an annular portion and a conical portion. The conical portion is provided at the bottom of the annular portion, and the annular portion is sleeved on the bottom of the first conical reflector 65 .
[0058] The cone angle of the second conical reflector 63 is greater than that of the first conical reflector 65. By setting the relay lens 120, the light can be normally introduced into the bottom of the light trap. Through this structural setting, the light trap mechanism 60 can have a wider range of applications.
[0059] A lens frame 52 is fixed to the outside of the Fresnel lens 50 . Both sides of the lens frame 52 are rotatably connected to the support frame 30 . The support frame 30 is provided with a pitch angle adjuster 40 for driving the Fresnel lens 50 to rotate vertically.
[0060] The support frame 30 and the water tank 100 are both fixed on the rotation angle adjuster 20, and the rotation angle adjuster 20 drives the Fresnel lens 50 to rotate in the horizontal direction. Example 4
[0061] On the basis of Example 1, Example 2 or Example 3, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a cooling water pipe 70 is spirally wound on the outer wall of the first conical reflector 65 , and the cooling water pipe 70 is connected to the water tank 100 , and the water in the cooling water pipe 70 flows from bottom to top.
[0062] Due to the focusing effect of the Fresnel lens, the energy density of the light is high, so the heat generated by the light trap also increases accordingly. Therefore, a cooling system needs to be introduced to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The cooling system is composed of a water tank 100 and a cooling water pipe 70, which effectively reduces the temperature of the light trap.
[0063] A cooling water pipe 70 is pre-arranged on the light trap mechanism 60, which makes the inner surface of the entire light trap mechanism 60 more comprehensive and uniform, thereby improving the cooling effect and effectively reducing the heat generated by the device under high-energy-density light. This mechanism setting can not only improve the stability and durability of the equipment, but also effectively extend the service life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs and energy consumption.
[0064] In general, the cooling system of the present invention can fully utilize the arrangement of the cooling water pipe 70 to achieve comprehensive cooling of the light trap mechanism 60, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the equipment and bringing new breakthroughs to the technical development of related fields.
[0065] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents in the above description. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical idea of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
