Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of greenhouses, and more specifically, to a solar transparent heating greenhouse. Background Art
[0002] Traditional greenhouses primarily operate based on heat absorption and insulation. During the day, sunlight penetrates the greenhouse's transparent covering (such as plastic film or glass), where it is absorbed by the soil, walls, and other structures, storing heat and raising the temperature inside. Because these materials are virtually "transparent" to solar radiation, most of it can enter the greenhouse. However, these materials are not "transparent" to long-wave radiation reflected from the ground, resulting in little long-wave radiation from within the greenhouse being transmitted and lost to the outside world. Therefore, greenhouses effectively trap heat, maintaining a relatively high indoor temperature and providing a suitable growing environment for crops. However, these greenhouses cannot generate additional energy. In winter, when temperatures drop too low or when it's cloudy and there's insufficient sunlight, air conditioners and heaters must be used to provide additional heat. However, air conditioners require high power consumption and significant losses, hindering energy conservation and emission reduction. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The utility model provides a solar transparent heating greenhouse, including a multifunctional greenhouse 1 and a power supply device 2; the multifunctional greenhouse 1 has an arc-shaped structure, which includes an anti-scratch protective film 11, an organic thin-film solar cell 12 and a transparent heating film 13 arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside; the organic thin-film solar cell 12 and the transparent heating film are respectively connected to the power supply device 2, and the power supply device 2 includes a battery and an external power supply module.
[0023] In the embodiment of the present invention, the transparent heating film 13 is an electronic device with high transmittance and high heating efficiency, and is widely used for heating and defogging various electronic devices in low-temperature environments or outdoor rainy and snowy environments. Commonly used transparent heating materials include ITO, nanosilver, graphene, metal mesh, etc., which have the advantages of low resistance, high transmittance, and good heating efficiency.
[0024] Organic thin-film solar cells (OTS) are photovoltaic devices that use organic materials as their primary photosensitive layer to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. When light strikes the organic material, it excites electrons from the valence band to the conduction band, generating free electrons and holes. Compared to traditional silicon-based solar cells, OTS offer advantages such as low cost, light weight, and flexibility, making them suitable for large-scale production and flexible applications.
[0025] Combining it with the transparent heating film 13 as a material for a greenhouse can make full use of the energy of different wavelengths of sunlight. Short-wavelength ultraviolet light is used for power generation, which can be directly supplied to the heating film to heat and increase the air temperature in the greenhouse, or to heat and remove water mist on the surface of the greenhouse; visible light is used for plant growth; long-wavelength infrared light is directly absorbed by the soil and plants, and passive energy storage increases the indoor temperature.
[0026] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows:
[0027] When the temperature is suitable and heating is not required, the greenhouse can absorb sunlight through the organic thin-film solar cells 12 to generate electricity, which is stored in the battery of the power supply device 2. When the temperature is low and heating is required to maintain the life of the crops in the greenhouse, the greenhouse can, on the one hand, physically reflect infrared light reflected from the ground to increase the indoor temperature, and on the other hand, the organic thin-film solar cells 12 can generate electricity for the transparent heating film 13, converting the electrical energy into heat energy. When the temperature is too low or it is rainy or snowy, the transparent heating film 13 can be powered directly by the battery or by an external power module to increase the temperature inside the greenhouse.
[0028] Furthermore, for organic solar thin-film cells, high-performance organic electron acceptor and electron donor materials are used. These materials can be polymers, small molecules or fullerenes, and their band gap width is adjusted so that they mainly absorb sunlight below 400nm to avoid affecting crop growth.
[0029] Preferably, the organic thin film solar cell 12 includes a negative electrode layer 121 , a hole transport layer 122 , a photoactive layer 123 , an electron transport layer 124 and a positive electrode layer 125 , which are sequentially arranged.
[0030] Preferably, the positive electrode layer 125 includes a first transparent substrate and a first metal grid layer; the first metal grid layer is arranged on the surface of the first transparent substrate by a 3D printing process, a screen printing process, an inkjet printing process, a coating process, a yellow light etching process or a laser etching process; the electron transport layer 124 is deposited on the first metal grid layer, the photosensitive activation layer 123 is deposited on the electron transport layer 124, the hole transport layer 122 is deposited on the photosensitive activation layer 123, and the negative electrode layer 121 is deposited on the hole transport layer 122.
[0031] Preferably, the structure of the transparent heating film 13 is the same as that of the positive electrode layer 125, which includes a second transparent substrate and a second metal grid layer. The second metal grid layer is arranged on the surface of the second transparent substrate through a 3D printing process, a screen printing process, an inkjet printing process, a coating process, a yellow light etching process or a laser etching process.
[0032] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate in the present technical solution both use flexible transparent substrates, and then a layer of transparent electrode material is made on the surface by 3D printing, screen printing, inkjet printing, coating process, yellow light etching process, laser etching and the like. This transparent electrode material can serve as the positive and negative electrode layers 121 of the organic thin film battery, and can also provide a good heating effect by reasonably designing the corresponding channels. The transparent electrode material undergoes corresponding subsequent treatment according to its different functions. If it is used for a transparent heating film 13, the surface is processed accordingly to adjust the appropriate resistance. If it is an electrode for a solar cell, an electron transport layer 124, a photosensitive activation layer 123, a hole transport layer 122, and a negative electrode layer 121 are deposited on its surface, and by doping different elements, it can absorb sunlight below 400nm. In this way, the first metal grid layer in the organic thin film solar cell 12 and the second metal grid layer in the transparent heating film can be produced without changing the process or adding additional steps.
[0033] Preferably, the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate are made of the same material, both of which are any one of PET, COP, PI, PVA or PEN; the first metal grid layer and the second metal grid layer are made of the same material, both of which are any one of ITO, nanosilver, metal grid or graphene.
[0034] Preferably, the resistance of the second metal grid layer is adjusted by laser or etching. In this embodiment, the second metal grid layer generally adopts a metal grid structure with controllable line width and pattern, and uses laser or etching to change the conductor cross-sectional area and conductor length of the resistor to achieve the purpose of fine-tuning the resistance, so that the second metal grid layer is suitable for use as a heating film material.
[0035] Preferably, the internal resistance of the organic thin film solar cell 12 is equal to the resistance of the transparent heating film 13. In this embodiment, assuming that the internal resistance of the organic thin film solar cell is r and the resistance of the transparent heating film 13 is R, when r=R, the output power of the transparent heating film 13 is maximum.
[0036] Preferably, the electron transport layer 124 is a fullerene derivative or a metal oxide; the photosensitive activation layer 123 includes a polymer, a small molecule and a fullerene; the hole transport layer 122 is a PEDOT-PSS polymer; and the material of the negative electrode layer 121 is ITO or FTO.
[0037] Preferably, the multifunctional greenhouse 1 is provided with a plurality of temperature sensors, the power supply device 2 is provided with a temperature control module, and the temperature sensors are connected to the temperature control module. In this embodiment, by providing the temperature sensors, it is possible to detect the temperature inside the greenhouse, and the temperature control module can automatically start or stop the transparent heating film to achieve automatic temperature regulation inside the greenhouse.
[0038] Preferably, the multifunctional greenhouse 1 is provided with an automatic fill light device, which includes a light sensor, a PLC controller, and a plurality of LED fill light groups. The light sensor and the LED fill light groups are respectively connected to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller is connected to the power supply device 2. In this embodiment, the light sensor is used to detect the light intensity in the greenhouse, so that the LED fill light groups can be automatically turned on and off, the light intensity can be adjusted according to the light brightness, and the lighting time can be reasonably controlled. While providing a good growth environment for plants that require long-term light exposure, it can also better save electricity and maintain the long-term stable operation of the greenhouse.
[0039] Compared with existing technologies, this invention offers the following advantages: By combining organic thin-film solar cells and transparent heating films as greenhouse materials, it fully utilizes the energy of different wavelengths of sunlight. Short-wavelength ultraviolet light is used for power generation, which is then directly supplied to the transparent heating film to heat the greenhouse, raising the air temperature or removing surface mist. Visible light is used for plant growth, and long-wavelength infrared light is directly absorbed by the soil and plants, passively storing energy to increase the internal greenhouse temperature.
