Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coral temperature control experiments, in particular to a coral temperature control experiment device. Background Art

[0002] Indoor temperature stress simulation technology is an important tool for studying the responses of marine organisms to temperature changes. Especially in the context of climate change and marine ecological protection, the reliability of experimental results directly impacts the depth and application value of scientific research. However, current technology still has a number of key limitations, such as insufficient temperature control accuracy, insufficient dynamic temperature simulation capabilities, and insufficient real-time temperature indicator monitoring.

[0003] Corals are highly temperature-sensitive cnidarians. Under the influence of global climate change, corals can bleach due to thermal stress. The optimal temperature is generally considered to be 26°C. Long-term studies have found that some corals can survive at temperatures between 12.6°C and 32°C, but these temperatures are not very precise. Modern temperature control systems (such as PID controllers) can achieve an accuracy of ±0.1°C, which is particularly insufficient for temperature-sensitive organisms like corals. Further improvements in temperature control accuracy are needed to obtain more precise experimental temperature effects.

[0004] At the same time, in the natural environment, temperature changes are often periodic (such as the temperature difference between day and night) or sudden (such as heat wave events). However, the temperature regulation rate of existing equipment is limited. For example, it may take several hours to heat up from 15°C to 25°C, which makes it difficult to simulate sharp temperature fluctuations in a short period of time. This difference between "slow change" and "mutation" may cause the experimental data of biological stress response to be inconsistent with the actual situation. For example, if the heating rate in the coral bleaching experiment is lower than that of a natural heat wave event, its heat tolerance threshold may be underestimated. Therefore, a variety of control methods are needed to more appropriately simulate the natural environment temperature.

[0005] During the experiment, the sampling frequency and spatial resolution of existing sensors (such as temperature recorders and dissolved oxygen probes) are limited, making it difficult to capture the instantaneous response of organisms to temperature changes. It is necessary to create a better human-computer interaction interface to achieve real-time and accurate control of temperature changes during the experiment. Summary of the Invention

[0030] Example

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a coral temperature control experimental device, including: a temperature control system, the temperature control system includes a shell 1, gas filters are installed on both sides of the shell 1, a temperature control module 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the shell 1, a temperature control component 6 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the shell 1, the temperature control component 6 is controlled by the temperature control module 4, a heat sink is installed on the top of the shell 1, and a power module 5, a communication connector 8 and a power connector 9 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shell 1; an experimental cylinder system, the experimental cylinder system includes a glass cylinder 25 for placing corals, the outer wall side and bottom of the glass cylinder 25 are respectively fixedly installed with insulation components, the top of the glass cylinder 25 is clamped with an insulation cover 27, and the inner bottom of the glass cylinder 25 is fixedly installed with a temperature control circulation pump 32, and the water inlet end of the temperature control circulation pump 32 is connected to the inside of the glass cylinder 25. The water outlet of the temperature-controlled circulation pump 32 is connected to the temperature control component 6 through a pipeline; and the master control system. The temperature control system and the experimental cylinder system are all controlled by the master control system. The gas filters on both sides of the shell 1 can effectively block external harmful gases and impurities, create a stable operating environment for the internal temperature control module and temperature control component, and extend the service life of the equipment. The temperature control component 6 is precisely controlled by the temperature control module 4 to achieve precise temperature control, meeting the experimental requirements of corals that are sensitive to temperature. The top heat sink promptly discharges the heat generated by the system operation, ensuring the stability of the system temperature and improving the stability of the device operation. The settings of the power module 5, the communication connector 8 and the power connector 9 respectively solve the power supply, data communication and power access problems of the device, and ensure the energy supply and information exchange between the various systems.

[0032] The glass tank 25 provides a stable growth space for the corals. The insulation components on the outer wall and bottom, as well as the insulation cover 27 on the top, effectively reduce heat loss, maintain a stable water temperature in the tank, and reduce energy consumption. The temperature-controlled circulation pump 32 circulates water between the experimental tank and the temperature control component, which can timely adjust the water temperature in the tank to create a suitable temperature environment for the corals.

[0033] The unified control of the temperature control system and the experimental cylinder system by the master control system makes the operation of the entire device more intelligent and efficient, facilitates the operator to carry out centralized management and regulation, and improves the operability of the experiment and the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0034] Among them, the temperature control component 6 includes a water-cooled plate 11 and a heat sink 12 installed on the water-cooled plate 11, a cooling fan 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the heat sink 12 by a second screw 19, a thermal insulation pad 14 is fixedly installed between the water-cooled plate 11 and the heat sink 12, a semiconductor refrigeration plate 20 is embedded in the middle of the thermal insulation pad 14, and the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 20 is in contact with the bottom of the heat sink 12; wherein, the water-cooled plate 11 includes a cold water plate base 24, the heat sink 12 is fixedly connected to the cold water plate base 24 by a first screw 18, the cold water plate base 24 is fixedly connected to the cold water plate heat conducting plate 22 by a third screw 21, a cold water plate sealing ring 23 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the cold water plate heat conducting plate 22, the cold end of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 20 is in contact with the top of the cold water plate heat conducting plate 22, and the bottom of the cold water plate One side of the seat 24 is fixedly connected to two cold water plate water pipes 16, one end of which is connected to the water outlet of the temperature control circulation pump 32 through a pipe, and one end of the other cold water plate water pipe 16 is connected to the inside of the glass cylinder 25 through a pipe; the temperature control module 4 is electrically connected to the temperature control sensor 10, the cooling fan 13, and the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 20 respectively, and the detection end of the temperature control sensor 10 is placed inside the glass cylinder 25. Through the structural design of the temperature control component, the water-cooled plate 11 and the heat sink 12 are closely matched, and the thermal insulation pad 14 and the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 20 are installed in the middle to form an efficient heat exchange and cooling and heating mechanism. The cooling fan 13 further enhances the heat dissipation effect, ensuring that the heat generated by the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 20 during operation can be dissipated in time to maintain stable operation of the system;

[0035] The design of the cold water plate base 24, the cold water plate heat conducting plate 22, and the cold water plate sealing ring 23 ensures good sealing and heat conduction performance of the water-cooled plate 11. The connection between the cold water plate water pipe 16, the glass cylinder 25, and the temperature control circulation pump 32 establishes a complete water circulation path, enabling the temperature control component to accurately adjust the water temperature in the experimental cylinder, thereby improving temperature control accuracy.

[0036] By electrically connecting the temperature control module 4 to the temperature control sensor 10, the cooling fan 13, and the semiconductor refrigeration plate 20, real-time monitoring and precise control of the temperature are achieved. The temperature control sensor 10 feeds back the actual water temperature in the glass cylinder 25 to the temperature control module 4. The temperature control module 4 adjusts the working status of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 20 and the cooling fan 13 in time according to the feedback signal to ensure that the water temperature is stable within the range required for the experiment.

[0037] Among them, a condensed water collecting pan 3 is plugged into the bottom of the shell 1, and a condensed water confluence groove is provided around the base of the heat dissipation fins of the heat sink 12. The notch of the condensed water confluence groove is fixedly connected to a guide tube 15, and the lower end of the guide tube 15 extends into the condensed water collecting pan 3. By plugging the condensed water collecting pan 3 into the bottom of the shell 1, cooperating with the condensed water confluence groove and the guide tube 15 on the heat sink 12, the condensed water generated during the operation of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 20 can be collected in time, avoiding the accumulation of condensed water inside the device, preventing it from causing damage such as short circuit and corrosion to electrical components, greatly improving the safety and stability of the device operation, and extending the service life of the equipment. In addition, when the condensed water collected in the condensed water collecting pan 3 is too much, the condensed water collecting pan 3 can be drawn out from the front of the shell 1 to pour out the collected condensed water;

[0038] The cold water plate water pipe 16 is made of POM material. The low thermal conductivity of POM material can reduce the influence of the external temperature on the water in the water-cooled plate 11. The cold water plate heat conduction plate 22 is made of 316L material that is resistant to seawater corrosion. The heat sink 12 is made of copper material with good thermal conductivity. During installation, both the hot and cold sides of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 20 are coated with thermal grease to improve the thermal conductivity efficiency.

[0039] Among them, a spring 17 is sleeved on the first screw 18, and the spring 17 is compressed on the base plate of the heat sink 12. By sleeved on the first screw, the elasticity of the spring 17 plays a buffering role when tightening the heat sink 12 and other components, avoiding excessive extrusion of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 20 due to excessive tightening force of the screw, effectively protecting the key component of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 20, ensuring its normal operation, thereby ensuring the stable operation and temperature control effect of the entire temperature control assembly.

[0040] Among them, the filter element includes two filter screens 2, which are made of glass fiber filter cotton. The two filter screens 2 are respectively embedded and clamped on both sides of the shell 1. By using the filter screen 2 made of glass fiber filter cotton as a gas filter element, it has good filtering performance and can effectively filter salt spray particles, dust and other impurities in the air, preventing these impurities from entering the temperature control system, avoiding corrosion and damage to precision components such as the temperature control module 4 and the temperature control component 6, and improving the reliability and service life of the device.

[0041] Among them, the heat dissipation component is an exhaust fan 7, and a vent is opened on the top of the shell 1. The exhaust fan 7 is fixedly installed inside the vent. By setting the exhaust fan 7 as a heat dissipation component and installing it in the vent on the top of the shell 1, the heat generated by the operation of the temperature control system can be quickly discharged, the air circulation is accelerated, and the internal temperature of the system is reduced, which helps to maintain the temperature control system working within an appropriate temperature range, ensure the stability and temperature control accuracy of the system, and provide a stable and reliable temperature control environment for coral experiments.

[0042] Among them, the insulation component is an insulation board 26, which is made of rock wool board, and the insulation cover 27 is made of a translucent double-layer acrylic board. The insulation board 26 made of rock wool board has excellent thermal insulation performance, which can effectively reduce the heat loss from the glass tank 25 to the outside, maintain the water temperature in the tank stable, and reduce energy consumption. The insulation cover 27 made of a translucent double-layer acrylic board not only ensures a good thermal insulation effect, but also does not affect the entry of light, meets the light requirements of coral growth, creates suitable environmental conditions for coral experiments, and is conducive to the healthy growth of corals and the smooth progress of the experiment.

[0043] The glass cylinder 25 is also provided with a circulating filter assembly, which includes a filter box 28 and a filter circulation pump 29. The filter circulation pump 29 is fixedly installed inside the glass cylinder 25. The water inlet of the filter circulation pump 29 is connected to the inside of the glass cylinder 25, and the water outlet is connected to the inlet of the filter box 28 through a pipe. The filter box 28 includes a box body, the upper part of the box body is the feed port, the bottom part is the discharge port, and a ceramic filter plate is fixedly installed on the middle inner wall of the box body. A plurality of positioning glass plates 33 of different heights are fixedly installed vertically on one side of the inner wall of the glass cylinder 25. The positioning glass plates 33 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the glass cylinder 25. A supporting glass plate 34 is snapped in place, and a filter box 28 is mounted on top of the supporting glass plate 34. By installing a circulating filter assembly in the glass cylinder 25 and utilizing a circulating pump 29 to transport the water in the cylinder to the filter box 28, the ceramic filter plate in the middle of the filter box 28 can effectively filter impurities in the water, purifying the water quality and providing a clean living environment for the corals. In addition, by positioning the glass plate 33 and the supporting glass plate 34 at different heights, the installation height of the filter box 28 can be flexibly adjusted to meet different experimental requirements, such as the different requirements of corals at different growth stages for water flow and water quality, thereby improving the applicability of the device and the adjustability of the experiment.

[0044] Among them, a protein skimmer 30 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the glass cylinder 25 by a suction cup. By installing the protein skimmer 30 on the inner wall of the glass cylinder 25, organic substances such as protein in the water can be effectively removed to prevent their decomposition to produce harmful substances, further purify the water quality, which is conducive to the healthy growth of corals, reduces the occurrence of diseases, improves the survival quality of corals in the experimental environment, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the experimental results.

[0045] Among them, a wave-making pump 31 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the glass cylinder 25. By installing the wave-making pump 31 on the inner wall of the glass cylinder 25, a natural water flow environment can be simulated to create living conditions for corals that are closer to nature. The circulation of water helps to evenly distribute oxygen, promote water mixing, and remove impurities, thereby meeting the physiological needs of corals for water flow, improving the adaptability of corals in the experimental environment, and making the experimental results more reflective of the true state of corals in the natural environment, thereby improving the scientificity and effectiveness of the experiment.

[0046] The master control system is a PLC controller, and a PLC touch screen all-in-one computer with an RS485 external communication port is used as the host computer. Its model is Siemens S7-1200. The master control system controls the temperature control system and the experimental cylinder system in real time by using the ModbusRTU protocol. The model of the temperature control module 4 can be RC-2104H, the model of the power module 5 can be LRS-600-12, the model of the temperature control sensor 10 can be MF52B, the model of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 20 can be TEC3-22908, the model of the protein skimmer 30 can be AC-2000, and the model of the wave pump 31 can be the fourth generation 55W wave pump of Laoyujiang.

[0047] As is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the master control system, temperature control module 4, power module 5, exhaust fan 7, communication connector 8, power connector 9, temperature control sensor 10, cooling fan 13, semiconductor refrigeration plate 20, filter circulation pump 29, protein skimmer 30, wave-making pump 31 and temperature control circulation pump 32 are commonplace, and they are all conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can arbitrarily select their models according to their needs or convenience.

[0048] Working principle:

[0049] By connecting the power connector 9, the power module 5 starts working, providing stable power to the entire device, ensuring that the temperature control module 4, the temperature control circulation pump 32, the wave pump 31, the circulation pump 29, the protein skimmer 30 and other devices are powered;

[0050] Through the communication connector 8, the master control system establishes a communication connection with the temperature control system and the experimental tank system to obtain the initial status information of each device and set the overall parameters of the device, such as the target water temperature required for the experiment, the water flow pattern and intensity of the wave pump, the working time of the filter component, etc.

[0051] The air entering the housing 1 is continuously filtered through the filter 2 to prevent impurities from entering, creating a clean operating environment for the internal equipment;

[0052] The water temperature in the glass cylinder 25 is monitored in real time by the temperature control sensor 10, and the data is transmitted to the temperature control module 4. The temperature control module 4 compares the current water temperature with the preset target temperature. If the water temperature is higher than the target value, the temperature control module 4 starts the semiconductor refrigeration chip 20. The cold end of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 20 absorbs the water heat sent from the temperature control circulation pump 32 through the cold water plate heat conduction plate 22, and the hot end transfers the heat to the heat sink 12. The cooling fan 13 is turned on to accelerate the heat dissipation of the heat sink 12. At the same time, the temperature control circulation pump 32 draws out the hot water in the glass cylinder 25 and sends it to the cold water plate water pipe 16 of the cold water plate base 24 through the pipeline. After absorbing the cold energy and cooling, it returns to the glass cylinder 25 through another cold water plate water pipe 16 to achieve the water temperature reduction. If the water temperature is lower than the target value, the temperature control module 4 can control and adjust the working state of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 20 to reduce the cooling capacity, and at the same time cooperate with the temperature control circulation pump 32 to circulate the water to make the water temperature rise;

[0053] The exhaust fan 7 is continuously running to discharge the heat generated by the operation of the equipment in the housing 1, maintaining the internal temperature of the temperature control system stable and ensuring the normal operation of each device. The condensed water generated during this period is collected by the condensed water conduit at the base of the heat sink 12 and flows into the condensed water collection tray 3 through the conduit 15;

[0054] The heat insulation board 26 and the heat insulation cover 27 reduce the heat loss in the glass cylinder 25, maintain the water temperature stable, and reduce energy consumption;

[0055] The water is continuously circulated by the temperature-controlled circulation pump 32 to ensure a uniform water temperature in the glass cylinder 25 and to regulate the water temperature in conjunction with the temperature control component 6;

[0056] The water in the glass cylinder 25 is pumped into the filter box 28 by a circulation pump 29. The water is filtered through the ceramic filter plate, and after impurities are removed, it flows back to the glass cylinder 25 from the discharge port to achieve water purification. The installation height of the filter box 28 can be flexibly adjusted by the positioning glass plate 33 and the supporting glass plate 34 to meet different experimental requirements.

[0057] The protein skimmer 30 continuously works to remove organic matter such as protein from the water using the flotation principle, thereby further purifying the water quality;

[0058] The wave pump 31 generates a high-intensity water flow, simulating a strong natural water flow, providing a suitable environment for corals that require strong water flow stimulation, and assisting in cleaning impurities;

[0059] In summary, the operating status and parameters of each device in the temperature control system and the experimental tank system, such as temperature, water flow intensity, equipment working time, etc., are monitored in real time through the master control system. According to changes in experimental requirements, control instructions are sent to the temperature control system and the experimental tank system through the communication connector 8 to adjust the working status of the equipment to ensure that the experiment proceeds as planned. Various data during the experiment, such as temperature change curves and changes in water quality parameters, are recorded to facilitate subsequent analysis of experimental results.
