Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aquarium lighting, and in particular to an aquarium lighting system with an intelligent sub-region light distribution design and multi-region independent control. Background Art

[0002] An aquarium lamp is a special type of lamp. According to the growth law of plants, sunlight is necessary, and the aquarium lamp utilizes the principle of sunlight. It is a lamp that uses light to replace sunlight to provide a growth environment for water plants, which can make the water body transparent and clear, the colors of water plants vivid, and at the same time promote the photosynthesis of water plants and their growth and development. It has a good effect on green water plants and is suitable for the growth of water plants with a water depth of less than 50 - 60 cm, with better effects. The light of some lamps is like sunlight and is suitable for the growth of various water plants and fish. It has strong light penetration, making the colors of fish more vivid and eye-catching, and is mainly applicable to providing the best lighting for aquariums, aquarium landscapes, and ornamental fish.

[0003] Some of the existing aquarium lighting devices usually adopt a fixed design for the provided lighting lamps, resulting in poor effects when simulating a real natural ecological environment, and they do not have a real-time information interaction function, so users cannot remotely control the operation of the devices in the aquarium according to real-time data. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks that some of the existing aquarium lighting devices usually adopt a fixed design for the provided lighting lamps, resulting in poor effects when simulating a real natural ecological environment, and they do not have a real-time information interaction function, so users cannot remotely control the operation of the devices in the aquarium according to real-time data, and to provide an aquarium lighting system with an intelligent sub-region light distribution design and multi-region independent control.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: An aquarium lighting system with an intelligent sub-region light distribution design and multi-region independent control, including: a terminal control box and a handheld PC software connected through an intelligent cloud server network, and the handheld PC software realizes an information interaction function with the terminal control box through the intelligent cloud server;

[0006] The terminal control box is connected to a sensor for monitoring the water temperature in the aquarium tank, and the terminal control box is responsible for collecting the real-time data of the sensor and transmitting it to the intelligent cloud server;

[0007] The terminal control box is connected to a partitioned light source board. Multiple independently controllable partitioned LED lamp groups are provided on the partitioned light source board. Each partitioned LED lamp group is provided with multiple strings of LED light sources. Each string of LED light sources (6 to 7 LED beads form a string of LED light sources) is connected to a control IC. The control IC serves as an instruction execution unit connected to the terminal control box. The terminal control box is responsible for storing and sending control instructions. The multiple strings of LED light sources on multiple partitioned LED lamp groups support PWM dimming control. The partitioned light source board can simulate the natural environment through the multiple strings of LED light sources on the partitioned LED lamp groups, making the environment in the aquarium closer to the natural state, enabling precise light coverage for the animals and plants in the aquarium, and being beneficial to the growth and development of the animals and plants in the aquarium.

[0008] The terminal control box receives the control instruction number of the handheld PC software through the intelligent cloud server, and sends the corresponding preset control mode to the partitioned light source board through the control instruction number, controlling the partitioned light source board to execute the dynamic effects of the corresponding mode to simulate the natural environment. The dynamic effects of the control mode include sunrise, sunset, cloudy, lightning, night light, and thunderstorm.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the intelligent cloud server is connected to a heating device through an intelligent socket. The heating device is located in the aquarium. The handheld PC software sets the heating temperature through the intelligent cloud server. The intelligent cloud server controls the opening and closing of the intelligent socket for the heating device according to the sensor temperature collected by the terminal control box.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the intelligent cloud server is connected to a carbon dioxide gas cylinder located in the aquarium through an intelligent socket. The handheld PC software sets the timing opening and closing time of the carbon dioxide gas cylinder through the intelligent cloud server.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the intelligent cloud server can be connected to multiple handheld PC software, and perform data exchange and management control between the accounts of multiple handheld PC software and the devices under the accounts.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the intelligent cloud server can obtain local weather information through the handheld PC software, and control the partitioned light source board to perform a simulation state according to the local weather information through the terminal control box.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the simulation state of the partitioned light source board includes a thunderstorm weather state. The terminal control box simulates the state of lightning flashing by controlling the randomly flashing light changes of different partitioned LED lamp groups on the partitioned light source board.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the simulation state of the partitioned light source board includes a cloudy weather state, and the terminal control box simulates the state of clouds covering the sun by controlling the different partition LED lamp groups on the partitioned light source board to make regular brightness changes.

[0015] A further technical solution is that a temperature alarm value corresponding to the sensor is set in the intelligent cloud server, and when the intelligent cloud server receives that the monitored temperature of the sensor exceeds the temperature alarm value, it pushes an alarm message to the handheld PC software.

[0016] A further technical solution is that the control mode stored in the terminal control box is designed in advance and stored in the terminal control box in the form of code. Since the handheld PC software needs a certain bandwidth capacity to transmit data to the terminal control box, this solution can reduce the amount of data sent by the handheld PC software to the control, reduce the limitation of bandwidth on the design freedom, and therefore more partitions can be added to a partitioned light source board with a shorter size; the increase in partitions can make the expression of the dynamic effect (control mode) of the partitioned light source board more rich and delicate.

[0017] The present invention has the following advantages: By setting the handheld PC software to realize the information interaction function with the terminal control box through the intelligent cloud server, obtaining the information in the device in a timely manner, and remotely controlling the device through the handheld PC software, the device in the aquarium can be regulated remotely. The terminal control box receives the control instructions of the handheld PC software through the intelligent cloud server, and controls the partitioned light source board to simulate the natural environment state through the control instructions, making the environment in the aquarium closer to the natural state, enabling the animals and plants in the aquarium to obtain precise light coverage, and being beneficial to the growth and development of the animals and plants in the aquarium.

The terminal control box is responsible for collecting the real-time data of the sensor and transmitting it to the intelligent cloud server. The terminal control box is also connected to a power supply, and the power supply provides electrical energy to the terminal control box, the partition light source board, and the sensor respectively;

[0028] The terminal control box is connected to a partitioned light source board, and multiple groups of independently controllable partitioned LED lamp groups are arranged on the partitioned light source board. Each group of the partitioned LED lamp groups is provided with multiple strings of LED light sources. The multiple strings of LED light sources on the multiple groups of partitioned LED lamp groups support PWM dimming control. The partitioned light source board can achieve a simulated state of the natural environment through the multiple strings of LED light sources on the partitioned LED lamp groups;

[0029] The partitioned light source board can achieve the control and management of the partitioned LED lamp groups, and can achieve the control of 2 partitions, 3 partitions, 4 partitions, N + 1 partitions; it can be realized on the multi-partitioned LED lamp groups, with independent control of each partition; it can enable the animals and plants in the aquarium to obtain precise light coverage; it can simulate natural environment states such as sunrise and sunset, cloudy weather, and thunderstorm weather, making indoor artificial habitats for animals and plants such as aquariums and rainforest tanks more approaching the natural state;

[0030] The terminal control box receives the control instructions of the handheld PC software through the intelligent cloud server, and controls the partitioned light source board through the control instructions to achieve a simulated state of the natural environment, making the environment in the aquarium more approaching the natural state, enabling the animals and plants in the aquarium to obtain precise light coverage, and being beneficial to the growth and development of the animals and plants in the aquarium.

[0031] A further technical solution is that the intelligent cloud server is connected to a heating device through an intelligent socket. The heating device is located in the aquarium. The handheld PC software sets the heating temperature through the intelligent cloud server, and the intelligent cloud server controls the opening and closing of the intelligent socket for the heating device through the sensor temperature collected by the terminal control box.

[0032] A further technical solution is that the intelligent cloud server is connected to a carbon dioxide gas cylinder located in the aquarium through an intelligent socket, and the handheld PC software sets the timing opening and closing time of the carbon dioxide gas cylinder through the intelligent cloud server.

[0033] A further technical solution is that the intelligent cloud server can be connected to multiple groups of handheld PC software, and perform data exchange, management, and control between the accounts of the multiple groups of handheld PC software and the devices under the accounts.

[0034] A further technical solution is that the intelligent cloud server can obtain local weather information through the handheld PC software, and control the partitioned light source board through the terminal control box to perform a simulated state according to the local weather information.

[0035] A further technical solution is that the simulated state of the partitioned light source board includes a thunderstorm weather state, and the terminal control box simulates the state of lightning flashing by controlling the randomly flashing light changes of different partitioned LED lamp groups on the partitioned light source board.

[0036] A further technical solution is that the simulation state of the partitioned light source board includes a cloudy weather state, and the terminal control box simulates the state of clouds covering the sun by controlling the different partition LED lamp groups on the partitioned light source board to make regular brightness changes.

[0037] A further technical solution is that a temperature alarm value corresponding to the sensor is set in the intelligent cloud server, and when the intelligent cloud server receives that the monitored temperature of the sensor exceeds the temperature alarm value, it pushes an alarm message to the handheld PC software.

[0038] A further technical solution is the implementation of the lamp control function of the multi-partition LED lamp group: The lamp control function of the multi-partition LED lamp group consists of a main lamp control and management circuit and multiple partition execution lamp control circuits. The main lamp control and management circuit is composed of a mature single-chip microcomputer with WIFI connection function. It obtains control instructions from the intelligent cloud platform or the handheld PC software end, compiles them into a specified standard data packet, and sends it to the partition execution lamp control circuit;

[0039] The partition execution lamp control circuit is composed of a mature dedicated control single-chip microcomputer. The chip uses a single-wire communication method and sends signals in the form of return-to-zero codes. After the chip is powered on and reset, it receives the data from the DIN terminal. After receiving 3 groups of 24 bits, the DO port starts to forward the data to provide input data for the next chip. Before forwarding, the DOUT port is always pulled low. At this time, the chip will not receive new data. The three groups of OUTR, OUTG, and OUTB output ports of the chip send corresponding signals with different duty cycles according to the received data, and the signal period is 1.3 ms. If the input signal at the DIN terminal is a RESET signal, the chip will send the received data for display, and the chip will receive new data again after the signal ends. After receiving the first 3 groups of 24-bit data, it forwards the data through the DOUT port. The chip uses an automatic shaping and forwarding technology, which can completely avoid signal attenuation and distortion when transmitting a large number of points over a long distance, so that the number of cascaded chips of this chip is not limited by signal transmission, but only limited by the requirements of the screen refresh speed. In this way, independent control of n + 1 partitions can be achieved;

[0040] The LEDs configured in each partition LED lamp group can be connected to LEDs with different wavelengths according to needs, such as red, green, blue, and white, so that users can realize light distribution operations with different spectra.

Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
