Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of landscape lighting equipment technology, specifically relating to a negative carbon plant-generated landscape light that utilizes plant photosynthesis and metabolism to generate bioelectricity, and combines membrane technology for efficient collection and conversion. Background Technology

[0002] Landscape lighting, as an important decorative and lighting facility in urban greening, parks, courtyards, and tourist attractions, traditionally relies on power grid cabling or small fossil fuel generators for its power supply. Power grid cabling is not only limited by the site environment and disrupts the integrity of the landscape, but also has the problem of high energy consumption; fossil fuel power generation generates carbon emissions, which contradicts the concept of low-carbon and environmental protection.

[0003] Plant-based power generation is an emerging bioelectrochemical technology. Its principle involves utilizing microorganisms in the soil surrounding plant roots to decompose organic matter produced by photosynthesis, generating electrons in the process. These electrons are then collected through electrodes to form an electric current. This technology offers advantages such as continuous power generation (day and night), environmental friendliness, and ecological compatibility. However, most existing plant-based power generation devices are limited to experimental research or simple demonstration applications, suffering from low power output, simple structure, lack of aesthetic value, and difficulty in integrating with urban landscapes, thus failing to achieve large-scale practical application.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated device that combines plant power generation technology, high-efficiency energy harvesting and storage technology with landscape art design, which can provide stable landscape lighting while achieving negative carbon emissions, enhancing environmental benefits and aesthetic value. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a physically powered landscape light that is structurally sound, generates stable electricity, is aesthetically pleasing and practical, and truly achieves negative carbon emissions. It can be widely used in various outdoor settings such as parks, courtyards, squares, and pedestrian streets. This is achieved through the following technical solutions: A negative carbon plant-based power generation landscape light includes a landscape light base, a planting trough mounted on the base, and a light housing mounted on the base and located on one side of the planting trough. Plants capable of generating bioelectricity are planted inside the planting trough. A proton exchange membrane is provided at the bottom of the planting trough, contacting the plant roots, and a carbon felt electrode is provided on one side of the planting trough, also contacting the plant roots. The proton exchange membrane and the carbon felt electrode constitute a power generation membrane assembly. The power generation membrane assembly is connected to a charging controller via wires. The charging controller is electrically connected to an energy storage battery. The energy storage battery is electrically connected to an LED light mounted on the top of the light housing via a discharge controller.

[0006] Furthermore, inclined reflectors are installed around the base of the landscape light. The tilt angle of the reflectors can be adjusted according to the height of the LED light, so that the downward-facing light is refracted upward at night, forming a unique light and shadow effect and enhancing the aesthetics of the landscape.

[0007] Furthermore, a row of drainage holes is provided on one side wall of the planting trough to remove excess water, prevent root rot in plants, and maintain a suitable water level and microbial environment in the planting trough.

[0008] Furthermore, the LED light located at the top of the lamp housing is covered with a lampshade made of high-transmittance PC material, which serves to protect the LED light and enhance its appearance.

[0009] Furthermore, the lamp housing contains wires that connect the discharge controller and the LED lamp to transmit power.

[0010] This invention directly utilizes plant photosynthesis to fix carbon and generate electricity. The entire process requires no fossil fuels and produces zero carbon emissions, truly achieving negative carbon emissions and environmental protection. The combination of proton exchange membranes and carbon felt electrodes improves the efficiency of bioelectricity collection. Coupled with energy storage batteries and intelligent charge / discharge control, stable voltage output is achieved, ensuring stable and reliable nighttime lighting and realizing energy self-sufficiency. The power generation system is integrated into the landscape lighting structure, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the environment. Furthermore, plant replacement is convenient, eliminating the need to disassemble the core power generation components and reducing long-term maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] like Figure 1-2As shown, this invention discloses a carbon-negative plant-based power generation landscape light, mainly composed of a base 1, a planting trough 2, plants 3, carbon felt electrodes 4, a lamp body shell 5, a discharge controller 6, an energy storage battery 7, a charging controller 8, a reflector 9, a proton exchange membrane 10, a drainage hole 11, a lampshade 12, LED lights 13, and wires 14. The base 1 serves as the supporting foundation for the entire device and can be made of metal materials, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel, and is fixed to the ground with anchor bolts. The planting trough 2 is set on the base 1, and its material can be corrosion-resistant fiberglass or ceramic composite material, designed in the shape of imitation stone, imitation wood, or other artistic forms. The planting trough 2 is filled with a suitable growth substrate and planted with highly bioelectrically active plants 3, such as moss, ferns, or other wetland or aquatic plants.

[0014] A proton exchange membrane 10 is laid at the bottom of the planting trough 2, and carbon felt electrodes 4 are embedded in the side walls. Both are in full contact with the roots of the plant 3, forming a power generation unit. Several drainage holes 11 are also opened on the side walls of the planting trough 2 to regulate the water level. The electrical energy generated by the power generation unit is connected to a charging controller 8 installed inside the lamp housing 5 or on the base 1 via wires. The charging controller 8 rectifies and stabilizes the unstable bioelectricity before charging the high-performance lithium-ion energy storage battery 7. The discharge controller 6 controls the energy storage battery 7 to discharge to the LED lamp 13 according to a preset time period (such as 6 pm to 10 pm).

[0015] The lamp housing 5 is fixed to the base 1, and an LED light 13 and a high-transmittance PC lampshade 12 are installed on its top. Wires 14 are laid inside the lamp housing 5 to connect various electrical components. Multiple adjustable reflectors 9 are installed around the top of the landscape light base 1 to reflect and refract the LED light, enhancing the lighting effect and landscape aesthetics.

[0016] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During the day, plants fix carbon dioxide and produce organic matter through photosynthesis, which is secreted into the soil through their roots. Microorganisms around the roots decompose this organic matter, producing electrons and protons. Electrons are captured by carbon felt electrodes in contact with them, forming an electric current that flows through an external circuit to the other electrode connected to the proton exchange membrane. Protons migrate through the proton exchange membrane, completing the entire circuit cycle and continuously generating bioelectricity. The generated electrical energy is processed (regulated and rectified) by a charging controller and stored in an energy storage battery. At night, a discharge controller automatically starts according to a preset program (e.g., 18:00 to 22:00), supplying the energy from the energy storage battery to LED lights for illumination. The LED lights shine downwards, not only providing illumination but also supplementing the plant's photosynthesis, further promoting carbon fixation and power generation. Simultaneously, a reflector on the base reflects some of the light, creating a beautiful landscape lighting effect.

[0017] During installation, the base 1 is first fixed, then plants 3 are planted in the planting trough 2 and nutrient solution is added. The system then starts working automatically. Routine maintenance only requires periodically checking the plant growth and water level; plants can be easily replaced or the lampshade cleaned when necessary.
