What the utility model requires to protect is a specific mechanical structure. The temperature and humidity and ammonia concentration in the livestock house can be measured by the temperature and humidity sensor and ammonia sensor in the return air chamber 32, while the temperature and humidity sensor in the supply air chamber 33 can detect the temperature and humidity of the fresh air supplied into the livestock house.

[0027] The utility model has the following working principle:

[0028] The dirty air is extracted from the livestock house by the operation of the fan at the exhaust port 341, and the fresh air is extracted from the outside into the livestock house by the operation of the fan at the air supply port 331. In this process, the fresh air entering the livestock house will first pass through the fresh air chamber 31, the first heat exchange channel of the plate heat exchanger 1 and the air supply chamber 33, and the dirty air discharged from the livestock house will pass through the return air chamber 32, the second heat exchange channel of the plate heat exchanger 1, and the exhaust chamber 34 in turn. The fresh air and the dirty air will exchange heat during the movement in the corresponding heat exchange channels in the plate heat exchanger 1.

[0029] When the temperature is high in summer, the wet curtain mechanism 2 at the fresh air inlet of the fresh air chamber 31 works to cool down the fresh air entering from the outside in advance, and then cools it down for the second time through the plate heat exchanger 1 (the indoor temperature in summer is lower than the outdoor temperature, so the temperature of the dirty air to be discharged is also lower than the fresh air. The heat of the fresh air can be transferred to the dirty air in the plate heat exchanger 1 to achieve secondary cooling); because the temperature of the fresh air is cooled down for the second time, the working power of the air conditioner and other equipment in the livestock house can be reduced, which can save energy. In this process, the dirty air sent in by the dirty air inlet 321 will be filtered by the dirty air filter 4 and then enter the second heat exchange channel of the plate heat exchanger 1, which can protect the heat exchanger, and the dirty air filter 4 will be sprayed with disinfectant to prevent bacteria from growing.

[0030] In winter, when the temperature is low, the wet curtain mechanism 2 does not work, and the fresh air directly enters the livestock house through the first heat exchange channel and the air supply chamber 33 of the plate heat exchanger 1, and the dirty air is discharged through the return air chamber 32, the second heat exchange channel, and the exhaust chamber 34. At this time, the indoor temperature is higher than the outdoor temperature. During the movement of the dirty air in the second heat exchange channel, the heat is transferred to the fresh air in the first heat exchange channel to achieve preheating of the fresh air, so that the heat discharged by ventilation can be recovered to achieve energy saving. In this process, the dirty air sent in by the dirty air inlet 321 will be filtered by the dirty air filter 4 and then enter the second heat exchange channel of the plate heat exchanger 1, which can protect the heat exchanger, and the dirty air filter 4 will be sprayed with disinfectant to prevent bacterial growth. The temperature and humidity and ammonia concentration in the livestock house can be measured by the temperature and humidity sensor and ammonia sensor in the return air chamber 32, and the temperature and humidity sensor in the air supply chamber 33 can detect the temperature and humidity of the fresh air delivered into the livestock house. The upper computer can adjust the speed of the fan at the air supply port 331 and the exhaust port 341 according to the temperature and humidity of the supply air and the temperature and humidity of the exhaust air to control the amount of fresh air supplied and the amount of polluted air discharged, so as to keep the ventilation volume within a reasonable range to ensure a comfortable environment in the livestock house.
