Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of micro-ecosystem construction, and more specifically to a method for constructing a micro-ecosystem for home use. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with global population growth, decreasing arable land, and increasing pressure on the ecological environment, the survival pressure on humanity has been constantly increasing. According to the United Nations, the global population will reach 9.5 billion by 2050, and human demand for food will increase by 70% to 100%. Meanwhile, arable land has also declined significantly in the last 30 years.

[0003] Against this backdrop, micro-ecosystems have become a hot topic. In recent years, this field has proposed numerous methods for constructing micro-ecosystems to improve their usability and thus enhance their ability to optimize the ecological environment.

[0004] Currently, some scholars have proposed methods for constructing micro-ecosystems for homes. Existing methods can largely simulate natural ecological cycles, and the constructed micro-ecosystems have a certain effect on improving the home environment. However, these methods lack consideration for the sustainability of the micro-ecosystem itself during construction and lack convenient long-term monitoring schemes. This results in the constructed micro-ecosystems requiring long-term, regular maintenance from external sources, increasing maintenance costs and reducing long-term survival rates. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for constructing a micro-ecosystem for home use. By providing a reasonable monitoring and control scheme and a more effective culture medium delivery structure, the maintenance cost of the micro-ecosystem can be reduced and its long-term survival rate can be improved.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for constructing a micro-ecosystem for home use includes the following steps:

[0008] S1. Construct a roof structure, wherein the roof structure is equipped with a signal receiver to receive environmental control signals generated by the control unit;

[0009] S2. Construct a roofless cavity structure and build a micro-ecosystem inside the roofless cavity structure. The roofless cavity structure is equipped with a culture medium transport structure for providing culture medium to the micro-ecosystem, an LED light for providing light source to the micro-ecosystem, an environmental monitoring module for monitoring environmental data of the micro-ecosystem, and at least one ventilation opening for gas exchange with the external environment.

[0010] S3. Construct a control unit to receive micro-ecosystem environmental data and generate environmental control signals based on the micro-ecosystem environmental data to regulate the micro-ecosystem environment;

[0011] S4. A sealed roof structure is built on the upper side of a roofless cavity structure to construct a home micro-ecosystem. The home micro-ecosystem is provided with a culture medium inlet that is connected to the culture medium transmission structure.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S1, the canopy structure is also provided with an openable window for manually adding dry ice and solar cells for powering the LED lights.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S2, constructing the micro-ecosystem within the roofless cavity structure includes the following steps:

[0014] A1. Construct a three-layer culture bed structure and fix the three-layer culture bed structure inside the roofless cavity structure;

[0015] A2. A three-layer culture bed structure is constructed by placing crops, miniature shrubs, and miniature fishponds inside a roofless cavity structure to create a miniature ecosystem.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, configuring the interior of the roofless cavity structure as a culture medium delivery structure for providing culture medium to a micro-ecosystem includes the following steps:

[0017] B1. Use plastic or rubber materials to make the culture medium delivery pipes;

[0018] B2. Based on the principle of communicating vessels, the culture medium delivery pipeline is constructed as a U-shaped culture medium delivery pipeline. The U-shaped culture medium delivery pipeline passes through one end of the topless cavity structure, through one end of the three-layer culture bed structure, and reaches the bottom of the topless cavity structure. It then passes through the other end of the three-layer culture bed structure from the bottom of the topless cavity structure to the other end of the topless cavity structure.

[0019] B3. Place the culture medium storage tank at the bottom of the U-shaped culture medium delivery pipeline and install a vent in the culture medium storage tank.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S2, the LED light uses a combination of red, green, and blue colors, and the ratio of the three colors is set to 64:65:65 to form an LED light with a certain ratio of light intensity and light quality; the LED light is connected to a signal receiver to receive control signals generated by the control unit.

[0021] Furthermore, in step S2, the environmental monitoring module for monitoring micro-ecosystem environmental data is installed inside the topless cavity structure, which includes the following steps:

[0022] C1. The temperature and humidity sensors in the environmental monitoring module are placed inside the topless cavity structure;

[0023] C2. Position the camera in the environmental monitoring module above the micro-ecosystem inside the topless cavity structure.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S2, a heater is installed at the bottom of the topless cavity structure. The heater is connected to a signal receiver to receive environmental control signals and heats the bottom of the topless cavity structure according to the environmental control signals to increase the temperature of the home micro-ecosystem.

[0025] Further, in step S3, constructing the control unit includes the following steps:

[0026] D1. Construct a control unit that includes a core processing module and a wireless transmission module;

[0027] D2. Connect the core processing module and the wireless transmission module for communication.

[0028] D3. Connect the wireless transmission module to the temperature sensor, humidity sensor, camera, and signal receiver for communication.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0030] (1) This invention provides a reasonable monitoring and control scheme, specifically by setting a signal receiver in the roof structure, setting an environmental monitoring module inside the roofless cavity structure, and constructing a corresponding control unit, so that the micro-ecosystem constructed by this invention can reduce its dependence on the outside world, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the micro-ecosystem.

[0031] (2) This invention constructs a micro-ecosystem by building a three-layer cultivation bed structure and placing crops, miniature shrubs and miniature fish ponds on the three-layer cultivation bed structure respectively. This makes the constructed micro-ecosystem more hierarchical in space, improves the utilization rate of light source, and thus improves the long-term survival rate of the micro-ecosystem.

[0032] (3) Based on the principle of communicating vessels, the present invention designs a culture medium transport structure that conforms to the micro-ecosystem, so that crops and vegetation in the micro-ecosystem can obtain nutrients evenly, prevent the problem of local concentration of culture medium output, avoid the problem of excessive fertilization of local crops and vegetation and the problem of insufficient fertilization of local crops and vegetation, and also improve the long-term survival rate and sustainability of the micro-ecosystem.

[0036] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes are obvious as long as they are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims. All inventions utilizing the concept of the present invention are protected.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for constructing a micro-ecosystem for home use includes steps S1-S4, as detailed below:

[0038] S1. Construct a roof structure, wherein the roof structure is equipped with a signal receiver to receive environmental control signals generated by the control unit.

[0039] In an optional embodiment of the invention, a canopy structure is constructed using a plastic film and a stainless steel metal frame. The plastic film provides insulation, enhancing the temperature stability within the home micro-ecosystem and creating favorable conditions for the healthy growth of organisms. A signal receiver is installed in the canopy structure to receive environmental control signals generated by the control unit. This signal receiver communicates with a wireless transmission module in the control unit and with a heater at the bottom of the roofless cavity structure. The signal receiver receives the environmental control signals transmitted by the wireless transmission module and transmits the received signals to the heater.

[0040] The canopy structure also features operable windows for manual dry ice delivery and solar cells to power the LED lights.

[0041] This invention determines the minimum and maximum temperatures based on the adaptive survival temperatures of organisms in a micro-ecosystem. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature in the home micro-ecosystem exceeds the maximum temperature set by the core processing module in the control unit, the core processing module generates a high-temperature warning. Based on this high-temperature warning, the invention can release dry ice through a switchable window to lower the temperature in the home micro-ecosystem and restore it to the normal range. The two ends of the solar panel are connected to LED lights; when it gets dark, the electricity stored in the solar panels can be used to power the LED lights, ensuring continuous, all-day, all-weather illumination for photosynthesis in the home micro-ecosystem.

[0042] S2. Construct a roofless cavity structure and build a micro-ecosystem inside the roofless cavity structure. The roofless cavity structure is equipped with a culture medium transport structure for providing culture medium to the micro-ecosystem, an LED light for providing light source to the micro-ecosystem, an environmental monitoring module for monitoring environmental data of the micro-ecosystem, and at least one ventilation opening for gas exchange with the external environment.

[0043] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a roofless cavity structure is constructed using stainless steel, and a micro-ecosystem is built inside the roofless cavity structure. Furthermore, the present invention includes a culture medium delivery structure inside the roofless cavity structure to provide culture medium for the micro-ecosystem; LED lights inside the roofless cavity structure to provide light for the micro-ecosystem; an environmental monitoring module inside the roofless cavity structure to monitor environmental data of the micro-ecosystem; and at least one ventilation opening inside the roofless cavity structure for gas exchange with the external environment.

[0044] This invention constructs a micro-ecosystem within a roofless cavity structure, comprising the following steps:

[0045] A1. Construct a three-layer culture bed structure and fix the three-layer culture bed structure inside the topless cavity structure.

[0046] A2. A three-layer culture bed structure is constructed by placing crops, miniature shrubs, and miniature fishponds inside a roofless cavity structure to create a miniature ecosystem.

[0047] The culture medium delivery structure, which is internally configured to provide culture medium for a micro-ecosystem within a roofless cavity structure, includes the following steps:

[0048] B1. Use plastic or rubber materials to make culture medium delivery pipes.

[0049] B2. Based on the principle of communicating vessels, the culture medium delivery pipeline is constructed as a U-shaped culture medium delivery pipeline. The U-shaped culture medium delivery pipeline passes through one end of the topless cavity structure, through one end of the three-layer culture bed structure, to the bottom of the topless cavity structure, and then passes through the other end of the three-layer culture bed structure to the other end of the topless cavity structure.

[0050] Specifically, the present invention involves spraying culture solution through openings at the connection between the culture solution delivery pipe and the culture bed, allowing the culture solution to penetrate into the crop roots and stems through the culture solution delivery pipe.

[0051] B3. Place the culture medium storage tank at the bottom of the U-shaped culture medium delivery pipeline and install a vent in the culture medium storage tank.

[0052] Specifically, this invention involves spraying the culture solution through openings at the connection between the culture solution delivery pipe and the culture bed, allowing the culture solution to permeate into the crop roots and stems through the culture solution delivery pipe. Excess culture solution from this process can be stored in a culture solution storage tank.

[0053] The LED light uses a combination of red, green, and blue colors in a ratio of 64:65:65 to form an LED light with a certain ratio of light intensity and light quality; the LED light is connected to a signal receiver to receive control signals generated by the control unit.

[0054] The environmental monitoring module, housed within the open cavity structure for monitoring micro-ecosystem environmental data, comprises the following steps:

[0055] C1. The temperature and humidity sensors in the environmental monitoring module are placed inside the topless cavity structure.

[0056] Specifically, both the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are communicatively connected to the control unit to transmit temperature and humidity data of the micro-ecosystem to the control unit.

[0057] C2. Position the camera in the environmental monitoring module above the micro-ecosystem inside the topless cavity structure.

[0058] Specifically, the camera communicates with the control unit to transmit video data of the micro-ecosystem to the control unit.

[0059] A heater is installed at the bottom of the topless cavity structure. The heater is connected to a signal receiver to receive environmental control signals and heats the bottom of the topless cavity structure according to the environmental control signals to increase the temperature of the home micro-ecosystem.

[0060] S3. Construct a control unit to receive micro-ecosystem environmental data and generate environmental control signals based on the micro-ecosystem environmental data to regulate the micro-ecosystem environment.

[0061] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the control unit constructed by the present invention includes a core processing module and a wireless transmission module. The wireless transmission module in the control unit receives micro-ecosystem environmental data transmitted by the environmental monitoring module and transmits the received micro-ecosystem environmental data to the core processing module. The core processing module generates environmental control signals based on the received micro-ecosystem environmental data to regulate the micro-ecosystem environment.

[0062] The present invention constructs a control unit comprising the following steps:

[0063] D1. Construct a control unit that includes a core processing module and a wireless transmission module.

[0064] D2. Establish a communication connection between the core processing module and the wireless transmission module.

[0065] D3. Connect the wireless transmission module to the temperature sensor, humidity sensor, camera, and signal receiver for communication.

[0066] This invention establishes a wireless transmission module that communicates with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a camera, and a signal receiver. The wireless transmission module receives the temperature of the micro-ecosystem monitored by the temperature sensor, the humidity of the micro-ecosystem monitored by the humidity sensor, and images of the micro-ecosystem monitored by the camera. The wireless transmission module transmits the received temperature, humidity, and images of the micro-ecosystem to a core processing module. The core processing module sets a maximum and minimum temperature for the home micro-ecosystem. It compares the received temperature of the micro-ecosystem with these maximum and minimum temperatures. If the temperature is higher than the maximum temperature, a high-temperature warning is generated; if the temperature is lower than the minimum temperature, an environmental control signal is generated and transmitted to the wireless transmission module; if the temperature is between the maximum and minimum temperatures, normal operation occurs. This invention also sets a minimum humidity level for the home micro-ecosystem. The core processing module compares the received humidity level of the micro-ecosystem with this minimum humidity level. If the humidity is higher than the minimum humidity, normal operation occurs; otherwise, a low humidity warning is generated to alert the operator. The operator can then add dry ice through a switchable window to raise the humidity level above the minimum humidity level. Furthermore, this invention can achieve real-time monitoring of a home micro-ecosystem by transferring images of the micro-ecosystem received by the core processing module to a displayable terminal.

[0067] S4. A sealed roof structure is built on the upper side of a roofless cavity structure to construct a home micro-ecosystem. The home micro-ecosystem is provided with a culture medium inlet that is connected to the culture medium transmission structure.

[0068] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a sealed roof structure is constructed on top of a roofless cavity structure to create a home-based micro-ecosystem. The home-based micro-ecosystem includes a culture medium inlet. The culture medium inlet is connected to one end of a culture medium transport structure. The present invention allows the introduction of culture medium through the inlet to provide the necessary nutrients for the growth of organisms in the micro-ecosystem. Furthermore, the present invention includes a culture medium outlet at the other end of the culture medium transport structure for replacing the nutrient solution.
