[0034] It should be noted that all components in the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, are all components known in the prior art. For example, the controller uses a commonly known controller.

[0035] The following are specific embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that the present utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments, and all equivalent transformations made on the basis of the technical solutions of this application fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Such as Figure 1-4As shown in the figure, an environment - controllable multi - layer plant cabin system includes a plant cabin. The plant cabin includes a first - layer plant cabin 1, and multiple upper - layer plant cabins 2 are stacked vertically on the first - layer plant cabin 1. Two adjacent plant cabins are connected vertically through a transportation component 8. The transportation component 8 facilitates the rapid movement of personnel and materials between different layers.

[0037] Inside the plant cabin, there are a planting chamber 3 and an environment - control component. The planting chamber 3 provides necessary growth space for plants and can meet all conditions for crops from sowing to harvesting.

[0038] The planting chamber 3 includes multi - layer cultivation beds 301. Inside the first - layer plant cabin 1, there is also a liquid storage tank 4. The liquid outlet of the liquid storage tank 4 is connected to the uppermost layer of each cultivation bed 301 of the planting chamber 3 through an infusion pump 5, and the lowermost layer of each cultivation bed 301 is connected to the liquid inlet of the liquid storage tank 4 through a liquid return pipeline.

[0039] Each layer of the cultivation bed 301 is provided with a planting area in the vertical direction. The size of the cultivation bed 301 and the distance of the planting area of each layer can be changed by those skilled in the art according to the variety of plants to be planted, and the number of layers, height, or width can be increased or decreased. The cultivation method can be soilless cultivation. Inside each layer of the cultivation bed, there are planting grooves filled with organic matrix, and drip irrigation pipelines for supplying water and nutrient solution to plants are laid in the planting grooves. Of course, the cultivation method can also be hydroponics.

[0040] The environment - control component includes an air - conditioning system, a heat storage plate, a fan, and a lighting component. The air - conditioning system is arranged inside the plant cabin, the fan is arranged on the plant cabin shell, and the heat storage plate is encapsulated inside the plant cabin shell. A plurality of ventilation openings 6 communicating with the inside of the plant cabin are commonly opened on the plant cabin shell and the heat storage plate. The fan can send air into the plant cabin through the plurality of ventilation openings 6 respectively. The lighting component includes plant growth lights 7 arranged on each layer of the cultivation bed 301.

[0041] On one side of the first - layer plant cabin 1, there is a transportation component 8.

[0042] The environment - controllable multi - layer plant cabin system of the present utility model combines the two concepts of a plant cabin and a heat storage plate. By covering a heat storage plate inside the plant cabin shell and stacking the plant cabins, an environment - controllable multi - layer plant cabin system with functions of heat preservation and insulation, temperature regulation, energy storage, and energy conservation is formed. Relying on the heat release regulation of the heat storage plate, when the temperature exceeds the regulation limit of the heat storage plate, further regulation is carried out through the fan, which improves the temperature regulation efficiency and production efficiency inside the plant cabin, greatly reduces energy consumption, improves the temperature regulation efficiency, production efficiency, and land utilization efficiency inside the plant cabin, and increases the yield per unit area.

[0043] Among them, according to conventional selection, the heat storage plate can use phase change materials such as paraffin. Taking the summer design day as an example for analysis, using paraffin with a thickness of 30 mm and a phase change temperature of 29 °C can keep the indoor average temperature at about 26.5 °C. Compared with the conventional plant cabin in the prior art, the average temperature is increased by 2 °C at night and the average temperature is decreased by 2.8 °C during the high-temperature period during the day.

[0044] Through simulation analysis, it is found that in a container plant cabin using a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system as the temperature control equipment, using a heat storage plate can reduce the heating energy consumption by about 19.2% and the cooling energy consumption by about 23.1%. By reasonably designing the enclosure structure of the phase change material, a better indoor passive temperature control effect can be achieved, not only reducing the indoor average temperature but also greatly reducing the overheating duration. This provides a theoretical basis and technical support for the production environment control of the container plant cabin.

[0048] The bottom plate 801 is further provided with a hydraulic cylinder 806, and both ends of the hydraulic cylinder 806 are respectively rotatably connected to the bottom plate 801 and the scissor lift 802.
