Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural product storage, and particularly to an intelligent monitoring system for agricultural product storage. Background Art

[0002] Agricultural products need to be stored to ensure their quality and supply stability and meet market demand. Storage requirements include appropriate temperature and humidity control, as well as proper packaging and classification. Semi-closed, closed or ventilated storage methods need to be selected according to the characteristics of agricultural products to ensure the freshness of agricultural products and reduce losses. Reasonable storage conditions can extend the shelf life of agricultural products, regulate market supply and demand, stabilize prices, and increase the added value of agricultural products.

[0003] Common agricultural product storage warehouses in the prior art can only meet the single storage needs of agricultural products, that is, they can only store agricultural products in a semi-closed, closed or ventilated manner. When different crops have different storage needs, there are obvious deficiencies in dealing with the diverse storage needs of different crops. Different crops have different requirements for conditions such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation, and a single storage mode is likely to cause spoilage, quality decline or shortened storage time of agricultural products. In addition, the inability to flexibly adjust storage conditions according to the characteristics of crops also limits the applicability and efficiency of the storage warehouse, increasing the risk of agricultural product loss and economic loss. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that common agricultural product storage warehouses in the prior art can only meet the single storage needs of agricultural products, that is, they can only store agricultural products in a semi-closed, closed or ventilated manner. When different crops have different storage needs, there are obvious deficiencies in dealing with the diverse storage needs of different crops. Different crops have different requirements for conditions such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation, and a single storage mode is likely to cause spoilage, quality decline or shortened storage time of agricultural products. The inability to flexibly adjust storage conditions according to the characteristics of crops also limits the applicability and efficiency of the storage warehouse, increasing the risk of agricultural product loss and economic loss, and to propose an intelligent monitoring system for agricultural product storage.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An intelligent monitoring system for storing agricultural products, comprising a vertical box. Support feet are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the vertical box. Inside the vertical box, recovery hoppers are fixedly arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction. The inside of the recovery hopper is an inverted hopper cavity. A recovery pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the recovery hopper. The front and rear sides of the vertical box are both open surfaces. A storage drawer is movably inserted into the vertical box at the top of the recovery hopper. Communication holes are provided on the front and rear sides of the storage drawer. A vertical U-shaped frame is fixedly arranged on the side of the vertical box. The vertical U-shaped frame includes a vertical section and a horizontal section. Switching motors are fixedly arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction on the vertical section of the vertical U-shaped frame. A displacement screw rod is fixedly arranged at the output end of the switching motor. A connecting rod is screwed onto the outer wall of the displacement screw rod. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a front sealing plate, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a rear sealing plate. A support plate is perpendicularly and fixedly arranged at the top of the side of the vertical section of the vertical U-shaped frame. A vertical cylinder is fixedly arranged on the support plate along the vertical direction. A multi-functional generator for placing multiple storage drawers in a closed state in sequence is arranged on the vertical cylinder.

[0007] Optionally, a horizontal pull handle is movably inserted into the edge position of the front side of the storage drawer. A horizontal movement groove is provided on the side of the storage drawer at the insertion position of the horizontal pull handle. An anti-detachment bolt is movably inserted into the side of the horizontal movement groove, and the end of the anti-detachment bolt is screwed into the side of the horizontal pull handle.

[0008] Optionally, a pressure sensor and an ethylene detector are sequentially fixedly arranged on the side of the front sealing plate. A main controller is fixedly arranged at the middle position of the vertical section of the vertical U-shaped frame. The control lines of the pressure sensor, the ethylene detector, and the switching motor are connected to the main controller.

[0009] Optionally, the multi-functional generator includes a carbon dioxide generator, a hot air blower, and a humidifier. The top of the vertical cylinder is fixedly connected to the gas outlet end of the carbon dioxide generator, and the side of the vertical cylinder is fixedly connected to the gas outlet end of the hot air blower.

[0010] Optionally, the side of the vertical cylinder is fixedly connected to the gas outlet end of the humidifier. Control valves are provided at the gas outlet ends of the carbon dioxide generator, the hot air blower, and the humidifier. Multiple control valves are connected to the main controller.

[0011] Optionally, the rear sealing plate is in a hollow state. Spray holes are provided at equal intervals on the side of the rear sealing plate close to the vertical box. A communication pipe is fixedly connected to the middle position of the side of the rear sealing plate. The other end of the communication pipe extends into the vertical cylinder. A sealing cover is fixedly connected to the end of the communication pipe. An air supply hole is provided at the top of the communication pipe.

[0012] Optionally, the cross-sectional dimensions of the front sealing plate and the rear sealing plate are the same as those of the storage drawer. Both the front sealing plate and the rear sealing plate are attached to the side of the storage drawer where the communication holes are provided.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. The main structure of the present invention includes a vertical box, a front sealing plate, a storage drawer, a rear sealing plate, and a vertical cylinder. The storage drawers arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction are used to independently store agricultural products with different storage requirements. The front sealing plate and the rear sealing plate form a temporary sealing structure, and a multi-functional generator is arranged at the top of the vertical cylinder. When the temporary sealing structure does not seal the front and rear sides of the storage drawer, the storage drawer has a fully ventilated storage function. When the temporary sealing structure seals the front and rear sides of the storage drawer, in cooperation with the multi-functional generator at the top of the vertical cylinder, the storage drawer has a semi-closed function, meeting diverse storage needs: the storage drawers can independently store agricultural products with different requirements, combining the two functions of sealing and ventilation to adapt to the personalized storage requirements of different agricultural products for humidity, temperature, and ventilation. The temporary sealing structure composed of the front sealing plate and the rear sealing plate can quickly switch the storage mode of the storage drawer (ventilation or semi-closed), realizing precise control of storage conditions.

[0015] 2. The multi-functional generator of the present invention can real-time monitor key parameters in the storage environment, such as ethylene concentration, air pressure, temperature, and humidity, by integrating various sensing devices such as an ethylene sensor and an air pressure sensor. The ethylene sensor can detect the concentration of ethylene gas in the storage space, giving early warnings and adjustments in a timely manner to prevent premature ripening or decay of fruits and vegetables caused by ethylene accumulation. The air pressure sensor can optimize gas exchange and ventilation effects by adjusting the air pressure difference inside and outside the storage bin, avoiding the storage environment being too enclosed or overly ventilated. In cooperation with the multi-functional generator, the gas composition, temperature, and humidity can be precisely adjusted according to the needs of different agricultural products, thus constructing the most suitable storage environment. This design not only significantly reduces the corruption and quality loss of agricultural products, but also extends the freshness preservation period of agricultural products, improving storage efficiency and economic benefits. At the same time, the intelligent management of the sensors also reduces the frequency of manual intervention, making the whole system more efficient and energy-saving.

Detailed implementation mode

[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1-5 , an intelligent monitoring system for agricultural product storage, including a vertical box 1, support feet 3 are arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the vertical box 1, a recovery hopper 2 is fixedly arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction in the inner cavity of the vertical box 1, the inside of the recovery hopper 2 is an inverted hopper cavity, a recovery pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the recovery hopper 2, the front and rear sides of the vertical box 1 are both open surfaces, and a storage drawer 19 is movably inserted at the top of the vertical box 1 above the recovery hopper 2 for storing agricultural products, and the recovery hopper 2 is arranged to collect the possible moisture in the agricultural products.

[0025] Communication holes 20 are opened on the front and rear sides of the storage drawer 19, a vertical U-shaped frame 6 is fixedly arranged on the side of the vertical box 1, the vertical U-shaped frame 6 includes a vertical section and a horizontal section, switching motors 8 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction on the vertical section of the vertical U-shaped frame 6, a displacement screw 7 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the switching motor 8, a connecting rod 5 is screwed onto the outer wall of the displacement screw 7, one end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to a front sealing plate 4, the other end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to a rear sealing plate 9, and when the switching motor 8 rotates, the front sealing plate 4 and the rear sealing plate 9 can be driven by the displacement screw 7 to close the front and rear positions of the storage drawer 19.

[0026] On the top of the side of the vertical section of the vertical U-shaped frame 6, a support plate 15 is fixedly arranged vertically. Along the vertical direction, a vertical cylinder 14 is fixedly arranged on the support plate 15. A multi-functional generator for placing a plurality of storage drawers 19 in a closed state in sequence is arranged on the vertical cylinder 14. A horizontal handle 22 is movably inserted into the edge position of the front side of the storage drawer 19. A horizontal shifting groove 23 is formed on the side of the storage drawer 19 at the insertion position of the horizontal handle 22. An anti-detachment bolt 21 is movably inserted into the side of the horizontal shifting groove 23. The end of the anti-detachment bolt 21 is screwed into the side of the horizontal handle 22. The anti-detachment bolt 21 prevents the horizontal handle 22 from being pulled out excessively and lost. When the horizontal handle 22 is not needed, it can be completely inserted into the storage drawer 19 to avoid hindering the horizontal movement of the front sealing plate 4 and the rear sealing plate 9.

[0027] On the side of the front sealing plate 4, a pressure sensor 41 and an ethylene detector 42 are fixedly arranged in sequence. A main controller 10 is fixedly arranged at the middle position of the vertical section of the vertical U-shaped frame 6.

The cross-sectional dimensions of the front sealing plate 4 and the rear sealing plate 9 are the same as those of the storage drawer 19. The front sealing plate 4 and the rear sealing plate 9 are both attached to the side of the storage drawer 19 where the communication hole 20 is formed.

[0029] The specific implementation steps and principles of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] When the storage drawer 19 at a certain position in the vertical box 1 needs to be in a ventilation state, the structure formed by the front sealing plate 4 and the rear sealing plate 9 at the corresponding position of the storage drawer 19 does not enclose the corresponding position of the storage drawer 19. At this time, the air supply hole 171 of the rear sealing plate 9 does not enter the vertical cylinder 14.

[0031] When the storage drawer 19 at a certain position of the vertical box 1 needs to be in a semi-closed or closed state, the switching motor 8 at the corresponding position is started. The switching motor 8 drives the displacement screw 7 to rotate, thereby driving the front sealing plate 4 and the rear sealing plate 9 at the corresponding position to close the storage drawer 19. The control valve 12 at the air outlet end of the humidifier 16 or the carbon dioxide generator 13 or the hot air blower 11 is opened, and through the air supply hole 171 of the communication pipe 17, air is sprayed into the air spraying hole 9 of the rear sealing plate 9, so that the agricultural products placed inside the storage drawer 19 are in an appropriate humidity, respiration rate and temperature.

[0032] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
