Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mite breeding engineering technology, specifically to a modular mobile workshop for mite cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, mites have played an increasingly crucial role in agricultural pest management as an important tool for biological control. With the continuous advancement of biotechnology, mite cultivation technology has gradually shifted from traditional open or semi-open environments to closed, controlled environments to meet the need for precise control over the quality, quantity, and growth cycle of mite populations. Currently, mite cultivation facilities are mostly fixed cultivation rooms. These facilities use equipment such as air conditioners and humidifiers to regulate the environment to a certain extent to adapt to the growth requirements of mites. However, with the integration and application of the Internet of Things and automated control technologies, the field of mite cultivation is seeking more efficient, flexible, and precise environmental control solutions.

[0003] The existing mite culture technology suffers from a drawback: the uniformity of environmental control is difficult to guarantee. Traditional culture rooms rely heavily on decentralized control systems to regulate environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light. This leads to differences in environmental parameters between different areas, resulting in significant variations in the development speed, health status, and reproductive capacity of mite populations in different culture zones. This uneven environmental control not only limits the increase in mite density per unit culture area but also affects the synchronicity of population development, thereby reducing overall production efficiency and product quality. Especially in large-scale commercial production, the unevenness of environmental control may lead to poor growth in some mite populations, increasing production costs and risks. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular mobile workshop for mite culture, so as to solve the problems of uneven environmental control in mite culture in the prior art, which leads to limited unit culture density and asynchronous population development.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a modular mobile workshop for mite cultivation, comprising a modular mobile workshop unit, wherein the modular mobile workshop unit comprises a workshop body, and the wall panels of the workshop body are constructed using thermal insulation boards;

[0006] The environmental control unit is connected to the modular mobile workshop unit, and the environmental control unit includes at least:

[0007] An air conditioning system used to regulate the temperature inside the workshop;

[0008] An integrated air handling unit used to provide fresh air and regulate its humidity;

[0009] Intelligent lighting systems for providing illumination;

[0010] The intelligent control unit is electrically connected to the environmental control unit and is used to monitor and control the operation of the environmental control unit.

[0011] Furthermore, the modular mobile workshop unit also includes a sealed door, the external dimensions of the workshop body are matched with standard container specifications, and a pad is provided at the bottom of the workshop body.

[0012] Furthermore, the air conditioning system includes an air conditioning unit installed on the top of the main body of the workshop, and air supply ducts leading out from the air conditioning unit and supplying air into the workshop; the temperature control accuracy of the air conditioning system is ±1℃.

[0013] Furthermore, the integrated air handling unit is a temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit, which is installed on the top of the main body of the workshop; the humidity control range of the temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit covers 0-100% relative humidity.

[0014] Furthermore, the air supply duct of the air conditioning system includes a first output duct and an exhaust duct; the air supply duct of the integrated air handling unit includes a second output duct and an exhaust duct; the exhaust duct and the exhaust duct are arranged in a crisscross pattern at the air supply outlets inside the workshop.

[0015] Furthermore, the system also includes an integrated control unit installed on the ceiling of the workshop, and both the exhaust pipe and the discharge pipe are connected to the integrated control unit.

[0016] Furthermore, the intelligent lighting system includes an inclined mounting plate installed at the bottom of the integrated control unit, and a spectrum lamp installed on the inclined mounting plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the spectrum lamp is a programmable LED lamp.

[0018] Furthermore, the system also includes an energy unit, which includes a power distribution frame installed on the top of the main body of the workshop and photovoltaic panels installed on the power distribution frame.

[0019] Furthermore, the workshop body is equipped with multi-level placement platforms, and observation glass is installed on the wall panels of the workshop body.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention provides a modular mobile workshop for mite cultivation. By using a temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit and an air conditioning system in synergy, and by arranging the supply and exhaust pipes of both in a cross-shaped manner and converging them into an integrated control unit, the source of temperature and humidity regulated airflow is forced to mix and uniformly distribute. This creates a highly stable and uniform temperature and humidity field inside the workshop, providing a precisely controllable optimal growth environment for *Amblyseius stearothermiae*, and significantly improving the unit culture density and population development synchronization.

[0021] By installing programmable LED spectrometers of the intelligent lighting system on an inclined mounting plate at the bottom of the integrated control unit, and using the integrated control unit as the physical core for airflow distribution and light source installation, close spatial and temporal coordination between lighting control and ambient air delivery is achieved. This optimizes the thermal management and spatial layout of the workshop while meeting specific spectral and photoperiod requirements, and enhances the overall integrity and efficiency of environmental factor control.

[0022] By designing the main body of the workshop as a modular mobile unit based on standard container specifications, constructed with insulated panels and equipped with pads, and combining it with the remote intelligent monitoring and control capabilities of the integrated control unit, the entire cultivation system can be rapidly transported, flexibly deployed on-site, and managed remotely without human intervention. This allows production points to be set up nearby according to biological control needs, greatly shortening the live mite supply chain and reducing transportation losses and overall operating costs.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] This invention provides a modular mobile workshop for mite cultivation, comprising a modular mobile workshop unit, wherein the modular mobile workshop unit includes a workshop body 1, and the wall panels of the workshop body 1 are constructed of thermal insulation board.

[0034] The environmental control unit is connected to the modular mobile workshop unit, and the environmental control unit includes at least:

[0035] An air conditioning system used to regulate the temperature inside the workshop;

[0036] An integrated air handling unit used to provide fresh air and regulate its humidity;

[0037] Intelligent lighting systems for providing illumination;

[0038] The intelligent control unit is electrically connected to the environmental control unit and is used to monitor and control the operation of the environmental control unit.

[0039] The modular mobile workshop unit also includes a sealed door 15. The external dimensions of the workshop body 1 match the specifications of a standard container. A pad 16 is provided at the bottom of the workshop body 1. The air conditioning system includes an air conditioning unit 4 installed on the top of the workshop body 1, and air supply ducts leading out from the air conditioning unit 4 and supplying air into the workshop. The temperature control accuracy of the air conditioning system is ±1℃. The air supply ducts of the air conditioning system include a first output pipe 10 and an exhaust pipe 11. The air supply ducts of the integrated air handling unit include a second output pipe 12 and an exhaust pipe 13. The exhaust pipe 11 and the exhaust pipe 13 are arranged in a cross pattern at the air outlets inside the workshop. The system also includes an energy unit, which includes a power distribution frame 2 installed on the top of the workshop body 1 and photovoltaic panels 3 installed on the power distribution frame 2. The workshop body 1 has a multi-layer placement platform 6 inside, and observation glass 14 is provided on the wall panels of the workshop body 1.

[0040] The modular mobile workshop unit, centered on Workshop 1, is designed and manufactured using the external frame dimensions of a standard shipping container, enabling long-distance transportation via standard container trailers, railway flatcars, or ships. The walls, roof, and floor of Workshop 1 are constructed using 100mm thick insulated panels, which are sandwich composite panels with double-sided stainless steel panels and polyurethane foam filling. This structure ensures the overall structural strength of the container while providing excellent thermal insulation performance, effectively blocking the impact of external temperature fluctuations on the interior.

[0041] A steel pad 16 is fixed to each of the bottom corners of the main body of the workshop. The pad 16 has holes for standard container corner fittings, facilitating hoisting, locking, and stacking. A sealed door 15 is installed on one side wall of the main body of the workshop via heavy-duty hinges. The sealed door 15 is surrounded by sealing strips, and when closed, it fits tightly against the door frame to ensure the airtightness of the workshop. An observation window is provided on the side wall adjacent to or opposite to the sealed door 15. A double-layered hollow observation glass 14 is fixedly installed in the window, allowing operators to observe the interior of the workshop from the outside without opening the sealed door 15 and disrupting the internal environment.

[0042] The interior space of the main workshop 1 is the primary work area. On the longitudinal walls on both sides of its interior, a series of multi-layered placement platforms 6 are fixedly installed. These placement platforms 6 are typically made of corrosion-resistant, easy-to-clean metal profiles (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy), and are either framed or panel-like. They are used to support and place culture boxes, breeding carriers, or other breeding equipment for cultivating *Amblyseius stesei*, thereby achieving efficient use of space.

[0043] The environmental control unit is responsible for creating and maintaining a stable, precise, and suitable artificial climate environment for the growth and development of *Amblyseius stesei* within the workshop. The main equipment of this unit is centrally located on the exterior and interior ceiling walls of the main workshop 1.

[0044] The air conditioning system includes an air conditioning unit 4 installed on the outer top of the main workshop 1. The air conditioning unit 4 houses a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and other components, and employs a high-precision digital control system. The air outlet of the air conditioning unit 4 is connected to a first output pipe 10, typically an insulated flexible hose or metal duct, which draws temperature-treated air from the air conditioning unit 4. The first output pipe 10 extends along the top of the workshop and splits into two branches, each connecting to a parallel exhaust pipe 11. The exhaust pipes 11 run along the length of the interior of the main workshop 1, fixed to both sides of the inner ceiling wall. The air conditioning unit 4 operates continuously based on a set program and sensor feedback, achieving a temperature control accuracy within ±1℃ of the set value.

[0045] The integrated air handling unit is a temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit 5. This unit 5 is also installed on the top outer side of the main workshop 1, typically on the opposite side from the air conditioning unit 4. The unit 5 is an integrated enclosure, internally arranged in the order of airflow: a fresh air inlet, air filters (such as pre-filters and medium-efficiency filters), a centrifugal fan, a humidity control module (e.g., a humidification section including an ultrasonic humidifier and a water tank, and a dehumidification section possibly including a surface cooler), and finally, a treated air outlet. The outlet of the temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit 5 is connected to two parallel exhaust pipes 13 via a second output pipe 12. Similar to the aforementioned exhaust duct 11, the exhaust pipes 13 are also fixed to the ceiling wall inside the workshop and arranged parallel to the exhaust duct 11. Crucially, viewed perpendicular to the ducts, the air outlets on the exhaust duct 11 and the exhaust pipe 13 are arranged in a cross-sectional relationship across the workshop. The temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit 5 has a wide range of humidity control capabilities.

[0046] The intelligent lighting system includes a spectral lamp 9 as the light source. The spectral lamp 9 is installed in the upper space inside the workshop, and its light can cover the area of ​​the placement platform 6 below.

[0047] The intelligent control unit is responsible for automated operation and monitoring. The core controller of this unit (such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) or an industrial IoT gateway) and necessary electrical components are integrated and installed in a control box, which is fixed to the center of the inner top wall of the main body of the workshop, forming an integrated control unit 7.

[0048] The integrated control unit 7 is connected to all the actuators of the air conditioning system, including the air conditioning unit 4, the temperature and humidity control fresh air handling unit 5, and the spectrum lamp 9, via cables. Meanwhile, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and light sensors are distributed at key locations within the workshop (such as near placement platforms 6 at different heights), and these sensors are also connected to the controller within the integrated control unit 7 via cables.

[0049] The integrated control unit 7 also integrates a network communication module (such as a 4G / 5G wireless module or an Ethernet interface), enabling it to access the Internet. Users can set parameters, select modes, and view status via a local touchscreen located inside the workshop (which can be part of the integrated control unit 7), or access the intelligent control unit via the Internet through a remote computer or smartphone application to achieve real-time remote monitoring of all environmental parameters, query historical data, modify programs, and receive fault alarms.

[0050] The basic working process is as follows:

[0051] At the planned location for culturing *Amblyseius stesei*, transport the entire system to the location and place it stably. Connect the external mains power supply and start the system.

[0052] Operators can set a complete set of culture environment parameters in the intelligent control unit via a local touchscreen or remote terminal. The program can include multiple stages, corresponding to different developmental stages of Amblyseius stesei, such as eggs, larvae, nymphs, and adults. Each stage can independently set parameters such as target temperature, target humidity, light on-time, and light intensity.

[0053] Once the settings are complete, the system enters automatic operation mode. The intelligent control unit continuously reads data from various sensors and compares it with the set values. If environmental parameters deviate from the set range, the controller will output a command:

[0054] If the temperature is too high or too low, the air conditioning unit 4 of the air conditioning system will be controlled to operate in cooling or heating mode, and temperature-controlled air will be sent into the room through the exhaust pipe 11.

[0055] If humidity needs to be adjusted, the temperature and humidity control fresh air unit 5 starts the fan, draws in outdoor air and filters it, and at the same time starts the humidification or dehumidification function according to the instruction, and sends the fresh air processed to the target humidity value into the room through the exhaust pipe 13.

[0056] The air in different states (temperature and humidity) delivered by the exhaust pipe 11 and the discharge pipe 13 is fully mixed in the upper space of the workshop due to cross air supply, which quickly and evenly regulates the temperature and humidity of the entire space.

[0057] The intelligent control unit strictly controls the opening, closing, and brightness adjustment of the spectrum lamp 9 according to the time program to simulate the natural light cycle.

[0058] During the system's automatic environmental maintenance period, operators only need to periodically (e.g., several times a week) open the sealed door 15 to enter the workshop and perform necessary physical operations on the placement platform 6, such as adding feed (e.g., pollen), checking the mite colony status, changing carriers, or harvesting adult mites. Most daily monitoring and management tasks can be completed through remote terminals, achieving the goal of intelligent management with "fewer people" or "unmanned operation."

[0059] Example 2:

[0060] This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that the integrated air handling unit is a temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit 5, which is installed on the top of the main body 1 of the workshop. The humidity control range of the temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit 5 covers 0-100% relative humidity. The system also includes an integrated control unit 7 installed on the top wall of the workshop. The exhaust pipe 11 and the discharge pipe 13 are both inserted into the integrated control unit 7. The intelligent lighting system includes an inclined mounting plate 8 installed at the bottom of the integrated control unit 7 and a spectrum lamp 9 installed on the inclined mounting plate 8. The spectrum lamp 9 is a programmable LED lamp.

[0061] The integrated control unit 7 is a closed box structure fixed in the center of the top wall inside the main body of the workshop 1. This box not only serves as the mounting carrier for the core hardware of the intelligent control unit (such as PLC controller, power module, and communication module), but also as the physical integration hub and distribution center for the airflow organization and lighting output of the entire environmental control system.

[0062] The top panel of the integrated control unit 7 is designed as the main duct interface plate. The two exhaust ducts 11 of the air conditioning system and the two discharge ducts 13 of the temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit 5 all enter vertically downwards from the top of the workshop, with their ends penetrating and being fixed to the top panel of this unit. Specifically, the outlets of the four ducts (two exhaust ducts 11 and two discharge ducts 13) terminate within the internal cavity of the integrated control unit 7, rather than extending further downwards into the open space below the workshop. This allows all treated air (temperature-controlled air and humidity-controlled fresh air) to be centrally delivered to the internal cavity of the unit for initial convergence.

[0063] Inside the integrated control unit 7, air from four ducts is initially mixed within this confined space. The bottom panel of the unit is not completely sealed, but rather designed with evenly distributed air outlet grilles or a series of regularly arranged air outlets. The air, after initial mixing inside, is blown downwards into the main cultivation space of the workshop through these bottom outlets at a relatively uniform speed and state. This design replaces the practice of directly exposing the ducts to the top of the workshop, making the airflow outlets more concentrated and regular, which is conducive to forming a more stable and uniform airflow organization from top to bottom.

[0064] The intelligent lighting system is spatially tightly coupled with the aforementioned airflow outlet structure, achieving an integrated design of "light and gas originating from the same source".

[0065] At least two inclined mounting plates 8 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the bottom of the integrated control unit 7 housing on both sides (or around the perimeter, depending on design requirements). The inclined mounting plates 8 are plate-shaped or frame-shaped structures with a certain mechanical strength, and their mounting planes form a fixed acute angle (e.g., 30° to 60°) with the horizontal plane, so that the planes are inclined toward the placement platform 6 areas on both sides of the workshop interior.

[0066] On each inclined mounting plate 8 facing inwards from the workshop, multiple spectral lamps 9 are mounted in an array. The spectral lamps 9 are preferably linear LED strips or modular LED panels, and their installation positions and angles are planned to ensure that the light emitted can effectively cover the corresponding areas of the placement platforms 6 below them.

[0067] The inclined mounting plate 8 is directly fixed to the bottom outer surface of the integrated control unit 7. Therefore, the mixed ambient air blown from the bottom of the integrated control unit 7 diffuses downwards, passing directly around the spectral lamps 9 mounted on the inclined mounting plate 8. Since the spectral lamps 9 generate heat during operation, this integrated design allows the downward-flowing air to simultaneously carry away the heat generated by the lamps, helping to maintain the operating temperature of the spectral lamps 9, extend their lifespan, and prevent localized heat buildup at the top.

[0068] Because the air outlet and light source are integrated into the same physical module (integrated control unit 7 and its associated tilting mounting plate 8), the intelligent control unit can more easily achieve programmed collaborative control. For example, when the system executes the "daytime" cultivation program, the controller can simultaneously execute the following commands: start the temperature and humidity control fresh air unit 5 to maintain the daytime set humidity, adjust the air conditioning system to maintain the daytime set temperature, and simultaneously illuminate the spectral lamp 9 to the daytime set light intensity and spectrum. The sources of change for all environmental factors (air outlet and light source) are spatially concentrated, which helps their effects on the cultivation space to be synchronized in time and from the same source in space, quickly establishing a stable daytime composite environment.

[0069] The pre-mixed air, flowing evenly from the bottom of the integrated control unit 7, combined with the light evenly shining down from the inclined mounting plate 8, acts on the entire cultivation area directly below. This "uniform airflow from the top center + supplemental lighting from the inclined sides" mode minimizes potential gradient differences in temperature, humidity, and light intensity between different locations within the workshop (especially between the upper and lower layers and between the left and right areas of each placement platform 6), providing a highly consistent growth microenvironment for *Amblyseius stesei* mites in each layer and each cultivation box. This is key to achieving high-density, synchronized, and high-quality cultivation.

[0070] All core environmental control terminal equipment (air supply, lighting) is centrally located in a limited area at the top of the workshop, completely freeing up the space below the workshop for the placement of platform 6 and operating passages, resulting in high space utilization. Meanwhile, the main electrical and control interfaces are concentrated in the integrated control unit 7, facilitating centralized wiring, fault diagnosis, and maintenance.

[0071] Application example:

[0072] This invention relates to a modular mobile workshop system applied to a large-scale production scenario for the biological control of agricultural mites in a specific region. This region comprises several scattered large-scale greenhouses and open-field crop cultivation areas, which have experienced severe infestations of pests such as spider mites in recent years, necessitating the large-scale release of their natural enemy (Amblyseius stesei) for continuous control. Traditionally, live mites must be ordered and transported from distant natural enemy factories, resulting in high transportation costs, high mortality rates en route, and decreased viability upon arrival. Furthermore, it is difficult to flexibly adjust the supply based on the dynamic pest situation in different areas. In addition, constructing fixed, large-scale cultivation facilities locally presents challenges such as high investment, long development cycles, and high energy consumption for environmental control. To address these issues, the modular mobile workshop system of this invention is employed, directly deployed near the core agricultural production area, enabling on-site, localized cultivation and on-demand release of Amblyseius stesei.

[0073] Before implementation, based on the distribution of the target area and the prediction of mite occurrence, three modular mobile workshop systems as described in Examples 1 and 2 were selected for initial deployment. The main body 1 of each system is constructed using standard 40-foot high-cube shipping containers, with stainless steel-faced polyurethane foam insulation panels, a bottom pad 16, and sealed doors 15 and observation glass 14 on the sides. Multi-layer metal placement platforms 6 are installed on both sides of the workshop interior to support the incubation boxes. An air conditioning unit 4, a temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit 5, a power distribution frame 2, and photovoltaic panels 3 are installed on the top of the workshop. An integrated control unit 7 is fixed in the center of the inner ceiling, with an inclined mounting plate 8 with a spectral lamp 9 connected to its bottom. The air conditioning unit 4 is connected to the exhaust pipe 11 via a first output pipe 10, and the temperature and humidity controlled fresh air unit 5 is connected to the exhaust pipe 13 via a second output pipe 12. Both the exhaust pipe 11 and the exhaust pipe 13 are inserted into the integrated control unit 7, with their air outlets arranged in a crisscross pattern.

[0074] After the system arrives at the selected site, it is quickly leveled and secured using the pad 16 and standard corner brackets. Mains power is connected, and the photovoltaic panels 3 simultaneously provide auxiliary power. Through the intelligent control unit within the integrated control unit 7, operators remotely log into the system to set environmental parameter programs for each of the three workshops, matching the propagation cycle of *Amblyseius stearothermite*. The programs cover different temperature, humidity, and light requirements for the egg stage, nymphal stage, and adult stage. After setup, the system operates automatically: The air conditioning unit 4, based on temperature sensor feedback, precisely regulates the workshop temperature to within ±1℃ of the set value via exhaust duct 11; the temperature and humidity control fresh air unit 5, based on humidity sensor feedback, continuously introduces filtered fresh air and humidifies or dehumidifies it via its built-in humidity control module. The treated air is then delivered into the workshop via exhaust duct 13. Since the air outlets of exhaust duct 11 and exhaust duct 13 intersect and converge at the integrated control unit 7, the temperature- and humidity-controlled air undergoes preliminary mixing before being delivered downwards from the uniform air outlet at the bottom of the integrated control unit 7, achieving rapid, uniform, and stable establishment of the temperature and humidity field within the workshop. Simultaneously, the intelligent control unit strictly follows the illumination program, controlling the programmable LED spectrum lamp 9 mounted on the inclined mounting plate 8 to simulate the required solar cycle, light intensity, and spectrum to regulate the circadian rhythm of the mite colony. The airflow from the integrated control unit 7 flows downwards past the spectrum lamp 9, helping to dissipate the heat generated during its operation.

[0075] In daily management, technicians only need to wear protective clothing and enter each workshop two to three times a week through the sealed door 15. Once inside, technicians operate on the placement platform 6, including adding artificial feed such as pollen to the culture boxes, checking the growth density and health of the mite colonies, and, as needed, harvesting adult mite colonies that have reached a sufficient number, along with the carrier, and transferring them to packaging containers prepared for release. Throughout the operation, the sealed door 15 of the workshop is quickly closed to minimize disruption to the stable internal environment. Technicians can also conduct rapid visual inspections from outside the workshop through the observation glass 14.

[0076] The vast majority of monitoring and management work is completed remotely. Production managers can view historical curves and real-time data of all environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions, within the three main workshop units (Unit 1) via a computer or mobile monitoring platform. They can also remotely fine-tune the environmental settings at each stage to adapt to changes in mite incubation status or production plans. If the system detects any abnormal environmental parameters (such as excessive temperature, insufficient humidity, or equipment communication interruption), the intelligent control unit will immediately send alarm information to designated management personnel via the platform and SMS for timely response.

[0077] When a greenhouse or area needs to release *Amblyseius stesei*, the production manager can immediately coordinate the release. The required number of live mites are harvested and packaged directly from the nearest deployed mobile workshop and transported to the release point in a very short time. Due to the extremely short transport distance, the loss of live mites during transport is greatly reduced, and the vitality of the mite colony is ensured at the time of release. Based on pest monitoring feedback from various areas, the production plan for each workshop can be dynamically adjusted (e.g., accelerating or slowing down the reproduction cycle of a particular workshop). Furthermore, after a production cycle ends, the entire workshop can be quickly transferred to a new, more urgently needed area for redeployment and production restarted.

[0078] Working Principle: After the system is started, the operator sets the target environmental parameters via a local touchscreen or remote terminal through the controller in the integrated control unit 7. This program includes the temperature, humidity, and light cycle required by different growth and development stages of *Amblyseius stesei*. Subsequently, the system enters automatic operation mode: temperature, humidity, and light sensors distributed in key locations within the workshop continuously collect environmental data and feed it back to the integrated control unit 7. The intelligent control unit compares the real-time data with the set values. If a temperature deviation is detected, the air conditioning unit 4 is immediately controlled to start cooling or heating circulation. The temperature-treated air is delivered to the exhaust pipe 11 through the first output pipe 10 and finally into the workshop. If a humidity deviation is detected, the temperature and humidity regulating fresh air unit 5 is simultaneously controlled to start. This unit draws in air from the outside, filters it, and then precisely humidifies or dehumidifies the air through its built-in humidity control module (such as an ultrasonic humidifier or a surface cooling dehumidifier). The treated air is then delivered to the exhaust pipe 13 through the second output pipe 12. A key design feature is that the ends of both the exhaust duct 11 and the discharge duct 13 pass through and converge at the integrated control unit 7, which is fixed to the inner top wall. The air outlets of this unit are arranged in a crisscross pattern within its internal cavity. This allows for the initial forced mixing of temperature-controlled air from the air conditioning unit 4 and humidity-controlled fresh air from the temperature and humidity control unit 5 within the integrated control unit 7. The mixed air is then blown downwards from the evenly distributed air outlets at the bottom of the integrated control unit 7, thus efficiently and evenly regulating the temperature and humidity field of the entire workshop space and effectively avoiding uneven local environments. Simultaneously, the intelligent control unit strictly follows the preset lighting program to control the operation of the programmable LED spectrum lamps 9 mounted on the inclined mounting plate 8. The inclined mounting plate 8 is fixed to the bottom of the integrated control unit 7, and its tilt angle ensures that the light can evenly cover the multi-layered placement platform 6 below. The spectrum lamps 9 can simulate the natural light cycle and spectrum to regulate the physiological rhythm of the mite colony. The mixed airflow blown downwards from the integrated control unit 7 flows through the operating spectrum lamps 9 during diffusion, helping to remove the heat generated and achieving a synergy between heat dissipation and airflow organization. Throughout the operation, the main task of the operators is to enter the workshop periodically through the sealed door 15 and carry out feeding, inspection and harvesting operations on the placement platform 6. Daily environmental monitoring, parameter adjustment and fault alarm can be achieved through external observation through the observation glass 14 or through remote network connection to the integrated control unit 7, thereby achieving intelligent management with "less manpower".
