Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural environmental control equipment technology, specifically to an energy-efficient optimized control actuator. Background Technology

[0002] The high-efficiency and energy-saving temperature and humidity control actuator is a device that uses PID control to regulate the greenhouse environment. PID control can precisely regulate the environment and can adjust the temperature and humidity according to different crops to achieve the best environmental control effect.

[0003] Currently, temperature and humidity control actuators mainly consist of control and execution devices. When regulating the greenhouse environment, they cannot perform real-time adjustments based on detected and set data, leading to reduced crop quality and yield. To address this issue, existing technology proposes a solution: a smart environmental control system for greenhouses (patent publication number CN203606672U). This system uses a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) method to adjust temperature and humidity, increasing the speed at which real-time values ​​reach desired values ​​and reducing system fluctuations. This further reduces the impact of the natural environment on the internal environment of the greenhouse, providing a more stable growing environment for crops.

[0004] While existing technologies have solved the problem of real-time control of greenhouse environments, the following issues remain: When controlling greenhouse environments in real time, the actuators contain too many electronic components. On the one hand, the complex environment inside greenhouses has a significant impact on complex electronic equipment, making it prone to damage and instability. On the other hand, too many electronic components can lead to increased power consumption, low energy utilization, and an inability to effectively save energy.

[0005] In view of the above, in order to overcome the above technical problems, the present invention proposes an energy-efficient optimized control actuator. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides an energy-efficient optimized control actuator that solves the problems of inability to control the greenhouse environment in real time, low energy utilization, and poor equipment stability. By inputting monitored data into the control device, PID control sends control signals to the temperature actuator to control the opening and closing of the shading curtain, thereby regulating the temperature inside the greenhouse and recovering energy through the opening and closing of the shading curtain. Control signals are also sent to the humidity actuator to control the operation of the sprinkler head, thereby regulating the humidity inside the greenhouse. Furthermore, the sprinkler head utilizes water pressure through an atomizing film to reduce costs and increase efficiency. This invention solves the problems of difficult temperature and humidity control inside greenhouses and the large amount of resource waste within greenhouses.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0017] Preferably, there are six nozzle devices, namely a first nozzle device, a second nozzle device, a third nozzle device, a fourth nozzle device, a fifth nozzle device, and a sixth nozzle device.

[0040] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6The control device (4) includes a control box (41) and a signal antenna (42). The signal antenna (42) is connected to the control box (41). The control box (41) and the signal antenna (42) are set inside the main structure (1) of the greenhouse. The control device (4) uses PID control. The monitoring data is input into the control box. The control box processes the data and generates instructions through PID control. The instructions are transmitted through the signal antenna, thereby controlling the humidity actuator and the temperature actuator. PID control calculates the control quantity by measuring the error between the actual output and the expected output of the control system, and combining the three parameters of proportional, integral and derivative, and adjusts the system input to make the output as close as possible to the expected value. Taking the temperature control of the edible mushroom greenhouse as an example, the temperature threshold is preset first. When the controller detects the change in the temperature sensor signal (such as the temperature decreases), it controls the heating equipment to increase the greenhouse temperature. When the temperature approaches the threshold, the controller stops the heater. Proportional term (KP): The control quantity is obtained by multiplying the error by the proportional constant. This control quantity is proportional to the error. The KP term ensures a linear relationship between the control quantity and the error; the magnitude of the proportional constant determines the system's response speed and stability. The Integral term (KI) multiplies the error by the integral constant to obtain the control quantity, which is proportional to the sum of the integrals of the error. The KI term eliminates the persistence of the error, preventing the system from being in a steady-state error state. The Derivative term (KD) multiplies the error by the derivative constant to obtain the control quantity, which is proportional to the rate of change of the error. The KD term suppresses instantaneous changes in the error, enhancing system stability and control accuracy. Combining these three terms, the system input can be quickly and accurately adjusted based on the magnitude, persistence, and rate of change of the error, ensuring the output value stabilizes to the desired state. For example, the proportional (P) term calculates the heater power, the integral (I) term eliminates errors caused by diurnal temperature variations, and the derivative (D) term predicts future temperature trends. PID controllers typically adjust the proportional, integral, and derivative constants according to the specific application scenario and system requirements to achieve optimal control performance.
