Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of volatile organic compound monitoring and measurement, in particular to a plant-derived volatile organic compound monitoring and control system. Background Art

[0002] VOCs is the abbreviation of volatile organic compounds, which are organic compounds that participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions. They are generally divided into two categories: anthropogenic and plant-derived. As precursors of PM2.5 and ozone, VOCs are increasingly being paid attention to by environmental management departments. With the implementation of pollution control measures such as the Blue Sky Defense Campaign and the Pollution Control Campaign issued by the country, the research and control of VOCs emitted from anthropogenic sources have achieved extremely remarkable results. At the same time, plant-derived VOCs have also begun to become a focus of ecological and environmental research. How to monitor plant-derived VOCs emissions more scientifically and precisely, and to obtain real-time emission patterns under multi-parameter changes in corresponding climate factors and biological stress factors has become an urgent need.

[0003] Existing technologies typically use climate chambers to simulate plant climate change conditions, and employ gas sampling to monitor changes in plant gaseous pollutant emissions. This results in delayed monitoring data and large data intervals, making it difficult to capture changes in plant gaseous pollutant emissions over shorter time periods and during minor changes in climate conditions. Furthermore, most current plant-derived VOCs monitoring technologies rely on manual sampling, which is labor-intensive and susceptible to human influence, resulting in large data errors and low reliability. Furthermore, traditional monitoring methods struggle to achieve real-time, continuous monitoring of plant VOCs emissions, and offer no immediate feedback on changes in plant gaseous pollutant emissions under changing climate conditions. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the above-mentioned deficiencies in the existing technology, the present invention provides a plant-derived volatile organic compound monitoring and control system, which solves the problems that most current plant-derived VOCs monitoring technologies rely on manual sampling, are labor-intensive, prone to operational errors, and have low data credibility.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned utility model purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] Provided is a plant-derived volatile organic compound monitoring and control system, which includes a closed box, a monitoring system, a climate factor adjustment unit, and a biological stress factor adjustment unit. A door is provided on one side of the closed box, and a plant source to be monitored is provided in the closed box.

[0011] The climate factor adjustment unit includes a temperature adjustment module, a humidity adjustment module and a light adjustment module arranged in a closed box;

[0012] The biological stress factor regulating unit inputs gases that affect the growth of the plant source to be monitored.

[0013] The basic principles of the plant-derived volatile organic compound monitoring and control system in this utility model are as follows: the plant source to be monitored is placed in a closed chamber by opening the chamber door, preventing external factors from affecting the monitoring of plant-derived volatile organic compounds; the air sampling module can select plants in different locations for VOC sampling, reducing manual intervention; the pretreatment module is used to pre-treat the sampled gas to remove impurities and moisture, thereby improving detection accuracy; the detection module uses a VOCs sensor and a Fourier infrared gas analyzer to collect VOC concentration information in the sampled gas in real time and transmit this information to the data processing module. The data processing module is responsible for receiving the VOC concentration information data, and the processor processes and analyzes the VOC concentration information data in real time. The data is uploaded to the monitoring platform through the communication unit to realize remote monitoring and data sharing. The climate factor adjustment unit and the biological stress factor adjustment unit simulate the various climate and biological stress factor changes of the plant source to be monitored, and can immediately, accurately and highly accurately reflect the gas pollutant emission data curve of the plant under different climate and biological stress conditions.

[0014] Furthermore, the data processing module also includes a storage unit electrically connected to the processor. The storage unit is used to store the VOC concentration information data to facilitate subsequent data export and provide support for in-depth analysis of the VOC concentration information data.

[0015] Furthermore, the system further includes an alarm unit electrically connected to the processor, the alarm unit being an audible and visual alarm. When the VOCs sensor concentration exceeds a preset threshold, the alarm unit is automatically triggered to alert the operator.

[0016] Furthermore, the filtering device is a particle filter.

[0017] Furthermore, the dehumidification device is an adsorption dryer.

[0018] Furthermore, the biological stress factor regulation unit inputs carbon dioxide and ozone to the plant source to be monitored, and accumulates and monitors the volatile organic compound concentration data to form an emission characteristic curve under different climate and stress factor conditions for specific plants.

[0019] Furthermore, one end of the gas sample fluid tube is located within the enclosed chamber, near the plant source to be monitored, while the other end is located outside the enclosed chamber and connected to an exhaust gas collection device. The exhaust gas collection device prevents the sampled gas in the gas sample fluid tube from entering the atmosphere and contaminating it.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present solution provides a plant-based volatile organic compound monitoring and control system, which samples VOCs from plant sources by setting an air intake sampling module, thereby reducing manual intervention, and the sampling data has small errors and high credibility; the climate factor adjustment unit and the biological stress factor adjustment unit simulate the various climate and biological stress factor change conditions of the plant source to be monitored, and combined with the detection module, can instantly, accurately and highly precisely reflect the gas pollutant emission data curves of plants under different climate and biological stress conditions.

[0027] The detection module 23 includes a VOC sensor 231 and a Fourier infrared gas analyzer 232.

[0028] The climate factor adjustment unit 3 includes a temperature adjustment module 31 , a humidity adjustment module 32 and a light adjustment module 33 which are arranged in the closed box 1 .

[0029] Specifically, the temperature regulation module 31 includes a heating system, a cooling system, a temperature sensor and a control system; the heating system is used to increase the temperature inside the closed box 1 when needed, and can be an electric heating element, a hot water circulation system or a solar collector panel, etc.; the cooling system is used to reduce the temperature inside the closed box 1 when the temperature is too high, and can be a water cooling system, an air conditioning refrigeration system, etc.; the temperature sensor is used to monitor the ambient temperature in real time and transmit the data to the control system.
