Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fish tank temperature control, and particularly relates to a water temperature control method and system. Background Art

[0002] In the aquaculture industry, the control of the water temperature in a fish tank is a key link to ensure the healthy survival of fish. At present, the heating rod technology for controlling the water temperature in a fish tank has been relatively mature, but it still has significant defects in practical applications.

[0003] Existing heating rods generally only support a single set temperature, and their working mode is extremely rough. When it is necessary to adjust the water temperature from the current temperature to the set temperature, the heating rod runs at full power at full speed throughout the process. This results in a sharp change in the water temperature within a short period of time when the temperature difference of the water is large. For example, when raising the water temperature from 15 degrees to 30 degrees, the heating rod may only take 30 minutes to complete. The rapid increase in the water temperature will cause fish to die because they cannot adapt to the sudden temperature change. Similarly, when cooling down, if the heating suddenly stops, under the influence of the indoor environment, the water temperature may also drop significantly within a short period of time, posing a fatal threat to the survival of fish, and thus severely limiting the effect of aquaculture and the survival rate of fish.

Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the described features.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection, a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , the present invention provides a water temperature control method for adjusting the temperature of the water body in an aquarium, including:

[0040] S1: Obtain the current temperature of the water in the fish tank and the final set temperature of the water in the fish tank that is set.

[0041] S2: Set multiple intermediate temperatures according to the temperature change range between the current temperature and the final set temperature.

[0042] S3: Gradually adjust the temperature of the water in the fish tank from the current temperature through multiple intermediate temperatures to the final set temperature, where the temperature of the water in the fish tank remains at each intermediate temperature for a preset time.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the core of the entire system is the single-chip microcomputer module 3. As the center for information processing and instruction sending, it is responsible for receiving the current temperature data from the temperature sensor and the final set temperature input by the user. The temperature sensor is usually installed inside the fish tank, in direct contact with the water body, and can accurately sense the water temperature change and convert the data into an electrical signal for output. The key module 4 or the mobile terminal 9 provides a convenient operation interface for the user to set the target temperature. The data collected by the temperature sensor is transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer module 3 via the signal line, while the target temperature set by the user is transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer module 3 through the key module 4 or the wireless communication module 11. The single-chip microcomputer module 3 combines the two and performs analysis and processing, thereby providing a basic basis for subsequent temperature adjustment.

[0044] For steps S1 - S2, the current temperature of the water in the fish tank refers to the actual temperature of the water in the fish tank detected in real time by the temperature sensor, and this temperature data is transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer module 3 for processing; while the final set temperature of the water in the fish tank is the target temperature value input by the user according to the fish farming requirements through the key module 4 or the mobile terminal 9, and this value will also be transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer module 3 for subsequent calculation and control use. The difference between the two is defined as the temperature change range. Among them, the intermediate temperature interval from the current temperature to the final temperature can be customized, and the intermediate temperature is multiple phased target temperature points calculated based on this range.

[0045] For step S3, by gradually adjusting the temperature of the water in the fish tank, starting from the current temperature (such as 20 degrees Celsius) through multiple intermediate temperatures (such as 22 degrees Celsius, 24 degrees Celsius, 26 degrees Celsius, 28 degrees Celsius), and finally reaching the set target temperature (such as 30 degrees Celsius), where the temperature is in degrees Celsius, the same below. The system first calculates several intermediate temperature points based on the difference (10 degrees Celsius) between the current temperature and the final set temperature, and assigns a preset holding time to each intermediate temperature. For example, at the four intermediate temperatures of 22 degrees Celsius, 24 degrees Celsius, 26 degrees Celsius, and 28 degrees Celsius, the system may set a holding time of 2 hours respectively. Or the difference between adjacent temperatures can also be a change of 1 degree Celsius or 0.5 degrees Celsius. In addition, the holding time can also be customized.

[0046] In this embodiment, the current temperature of the fish tank water body is obtained, as well as the final set temperature of the fish tank water body; according to the temperature change range between the current temperature and the final set temperature, a plurality of intermediate temperatures are set; the temperature of the fish tank water body is gradually adjusted from the current temperature through the plurality of intermediate temperatures to the final set temperature, wherein the temperature of the fish tank water body remains at a preset time at the intermediate temperature. By setting a plurality of intermediate temperatures and gradually adjusting the water temperature, and each intermediate temperature maintaining a preset time, the physiological functions of the fish can gradually adapt to the temperature change, reduce stress, reduce the risk of death due to inability to adapt, and improve the survival rate of the fish and the breeding effect.

[0047] In one embodiment, the step of setting a plurality of intermediate temperatures according to the temperature change range between the current temperature and the final set temperature includes:

[0048] Based on the current temperature and the final set temperature, calculate the difference between the two;

[0049] According to the number of the intermediate temperatures, evenly distribute the difference to obtain a plurality of the intermediate temperatures.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the temperature adjustment process of the fish tank water body realizes gradual heating or cooling by evenly distributing the temperature difference. The system first calculates the total temperature change range based on the difference between the current temperature and the final set temperature. For example, if the current temperature is 20 °C and the final set temperature is 30 °C, the difference between the two is 10 °C. Next, according to the number of intermediate temperatures set by the user (such as 4), the difference is evenly distributed to each stage, so as to obtain the temperature difference between adjacent intermediate temperatures. In this example, the total difference of 10 °C is divided into 4 segments, and the temperature difference of each segment is 2.5 °C. Taking the initial temperature of 20 °C as an example, the system will sequentially set a plurality of intermediate temperatures as 22.5 °C, 25 °C, 27.5 °C. By evenly distributing the temperature difference and adjusting it in stages, this method significantly improves the stability and accuracy of the temperature control of the fish tank water body.

[0051] In one embodiment, the step of setting a plurality of intermediate temperatures according to the temperature change range between the current temperature and the final set temperature further includes:

[0052] Obtain a plurality of externally set custom temperatures as intermediate temperatures, and the intermediate temperatures are between the current temperature and the final set temperature. Among them, based on the custom temperature, set a plurality of custom durations corresponding to the custom temperature.

[0053] In the above embodiment, if the current water temperature of the fish tank is 22 °C and the owner intends to adjust the water temperature to 28 °C to meet the breeding requirements of the tropical fish kept, in the application program, there is a dedicated interface for setting custom temperature and time. According to experience and fish habits, the owner sets three custom intermediate temperatures and their corresponding durations, enabling the heating time to multiple temperatures to be customized. The first intermediate temperature is set to 24 °C and the duration is set to 2 hours. Since this temperature is close to the current water temperature, it is relatively easy for the fish to adapt, and the 2-hour time allows the fish to fully adapt to the new water temperature environment. The second intermediate temperature is set to 26 °C and the duration is 1.5 hours. At this time, the water temperature further increases, and appropriately shortening the adaptation time can prevent the water temperature from remaining in an unsuitable breeding range for a long time. The last intermediate temperature is 27 °C and the duration is set to 1 hour, allowing the fish to adapt in advance in an environment close to the final temperature to prepare for reaching the final temperature of 28 °C. The mobile application program sends these set information to the water temperature control device of the fish tank, and the device gradually adjusts the water temperature according to the settings, improving the breeding effect, enhancing the sense of participation and achievement of the breeder, and making the breeding process more flexible and efficient.

[0054] In one embodiment, the step of gradually adjusting the temperature of the fish tank water body from the current temperature through multiple intermediate temperatures to the final set temperature, wherein the step of maintaining the fish tank water body at each intermediate temperature for a preset time includes:

[0055] Based on the current temperature, control the heating body 1 to operate at full power;

[0056] Determine whether the temperature of the fish tank water body reaches the first intermediate temperature;

[0057] If so, maintain the first intermediate temperature for a preset duration;

[0058] Repeat the above steps to gradually adjust the temperature of the fish tank water body to the final set temperature.

[0059] In the above embodiments, during the initial stage, the system operates at full power. After the system is started, the single-chip microcomputer module 3 controls the heating body 1 to operate at full power based on the current temperature (e.g., 20°C) to quickly increase the water temperature and make it approach the first intermediate temperature (e.g., 22°C) as soon as possible, or the single-chip microcomputer module 3 controls the heating body 1 to maintain a constant temperature at low power based on the current temperature (e.g., 20°C); it is judged whether the first intermediate temperature is reached. The temperature sensor monitors the water temperature in real time and feeds the data back to the single-chip microcomputer module 3. When it is detected that the water temperature reaches the first intermediate temperature (22°C), the single-chip microcomputer module 3 will trigger the judgment logic to confirm whether to enter the next operation; adjust the power and keep it constant. Once it is confirmed that the water temperature has reached the first intermediate temperature, the water temperature is maintained at the first intermediate temperature for a preset duration, that is, the operating power of the heating body is adjusted in time through the running program within the preset duration to keep the water temperature constant and maintain a constant output within the preset time (e.g., 2 hours); repeat the above steps. After the adjustment of the first intermediate temperature is completed, the system repeats the above process and gradually adjusts to the next intermediate temperature (e.g., 24°C, 26°C, 28°C) in turn until the set target temperature (e.g., 30°C) is finally reached. Among them, mainly the time for gradually adjusting to the final temperature can be customized, and it can be set to heat in hours or days. Each time a new intermediate temperature is reached, the single-chip microcomputer module 3 will re-adjust the power of the heating body 1 and maintain it for a period of time to ensure that the entire temperature rise process is stable and controllable. By adjusting the temperature in stages and combining dynamic power control, the accuracy and stability of the adjustment of the water temperature in the fish tank are significantly improved.

[0060] In one embodiment, before the steps of obtaining the current temperature of the water body in the fish tank and the final set temperature of the water body in the fish tank, it includes:

[0061] Authenticate the entity that issues the setting instruction according to a preset authentication method, and the authentication methods include static password authentication, dynamic password authentication, and biometric identification;

[0062] If the verification result is a match or valid, it is determined that the identity authentication is passed, and the water temperature control operation is entered.

[0063] In the above embodiments, before the system obtains the current temperature and the final set temperature of the fish tank water body, it will first authenticate the entity that issues the setting instruction. The user can input the setting instruction through the button module 4 or the mobile terminal 9, but before that, the identity confirmation must be completed through a preset verification method. The verification methods include three main forms: static password verification, dynamic password verification, and biometric identification. Static password verification is the most basic method, and the user needs to input a pre-set fixed password. Dynamic password verification requires the user to input a one-time password generated by the system, which is usually generated through a mobile application or a hardware token. Biometric identification uses the user's fingerprint, facial recognition, or other biometric information for identity confirmation, and there are also various ways to set it, such as buttons or mobile phones can both achieve it. The single-chip microcomputer module 3 is responsible for receiving and processing these verification information, and comparing it with the pre-stored legal data. If the verification result matches or is valid, it is determined that the identity verification is passed, and the system enters the next process, entering the water temperature control operation. If the verification fails, the system will refuse to execute any temperature adjustment operation, and may trigger an alarm or prompt the user to re-try the verification, effectively preventing unauthorized operations and avoiding abnormal temperature changes caused by misoperations or malicious interferences, thereby ensuring the safety of the fish living environment.
