Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric field preservation technology, specifically to a low-voltage unipolar electric field. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional food preservation methods, such as refrigeration and modified atmosphere packaging, while extending shelf life, face challenges such as high energy consumption and limited preservation effects. To address these issues, engineers are constantly exploring new preservation technologies. For example, Chinese patent CN118489675A proposes a method for preserving Phalaenopsis cut flowers using a low-voltage electrostatic field to activate a hypochlorous acid electrolytic preservative solution. This method creates a negative ion environment through a low-voltage electrostatic field, altering the electric field distribution on the cut flower surface, activating the activity of hypochlorous acid electrolysis, killing bacteria, reducing microbial contamination, and minimizing water loss through the weak adsorption force of the electric field, maintaining a low cellular respiration level, and preserving the cut flower's water metabolism. However, existing electric field preservation systems are complex to operate and lack precise control of the preservation environment, requiring further optimization. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a low-voltage unipolar electric field.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A low-voltage monopole electric field includes a low-voltage electric field for food preservation, and a main control circuit and an input circuit connected to the low-voltage electric field, wherein:

[0006] The main control circuit, located on-site, includes a PLC controller, a relay module, and a temperature and humidity sensor. The PLC controller receives temperature and humidity information from the field through the temperature and humidity sensor and connects to the low-voltage electric field through the relay module, thereby controlling the low-voltage electric field to release negative ions for preservation.

[0007] The input circuit, located in the background, includes a touch screen, which is connected to the PLC controller via a screen switch and a preservation switch; below the touch screen are indicator lights I and II, which are also connected to the PLC controller.

[0008] This technical solution improves the on-site preservation effect by adding a main control circuit and an input circuit, and using a PLC controller to control the release of negative ions from a low-voltage electric field based on temperature and humidity information. Specifically, the low-voltage electric field releases negative ions, which act on the air and food surface within the storage space. These negative ions purify the air, inhibit bacterial growth, and slow down food oxidation, thus extending the shelf life of the food. Temperature and humidity sensors monitor the temperature and humidity of the storage space in real time and feed the data back to the PLC controller. A relay module acts as an actuator, controlling the switching and intensity of the low-voltage electric field according to the PLC controller's settings. The PLC controller dynamically adjusts the operating parameters of the low-voltage electric field based on preset preservation conditions and real-time temperature and humidity data. For example, when the temperature and humidity exceed the preset range, the PLC controller increases the intensity of the electric field to enhance the preservation effect. Indicator lights I and II display the system's operating status; for example, indicator light I indicates that the preservation status is satisfactory, while indicator light II indicates that the preservation status is unsatisfactory. Users can conveniently set and adjust preservation parameters via a touchscreen, and the system can automatically adjust the electric field state based on real-time temperature and humidity data to achieve the best preservation effect.

[0011] This technical solution optimizes the preservation effect by setting a low-voltage electric field that includes at least two low-voltage pulse electric fields and specifying the range of pulse electric field strength and frequency.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main control circuit further includes a power supply module, which is electrically connected to the low-voltage electric field, the PLC controller, the relay module, and the touch screen.

[0013] This technical solution provides power support for the low-voltage electric field, PLC controller, relay module and touch screen by adding a power module to the main control circuit.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the low-voltage electric field is a low-voltage pulse generator, and the PLC controller includes a high-voltage side electrode plate and a low-voltage side electrode. Negative ions for preservation are released by generating an arc discharge between the high-voltage side electrode plate and the low-voltage side electrode connected to the power module.

[0015] This technical solution uses a low-voltage electric field as a low-voltage pulse generator, and utilizes the high-voltage side electrode plate and low-voltage side electrode in the PLC controller to generate an arc discharge to release negative ions, thereby achieving the preservation function.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the PLC controller is also connected to an atomizer, a heating wire, and a sterilization device; the PLC controller adjusts the humidity, temperature, and sterilization status of the site through the atomizer, heating wire, and sterilization device.

[0017] This technical solution connects the atomizer, heating wire, and sterilization device through a PLC controller to adjust the humidity, temperature, and sterilization status on-site, thereby improving the preservation effect.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, indicator light I and indicator light II are used to indicate whether the preservation is qualified or unqualified on site; indicator light I is a green indicator light and indicator light II is a red indicator light.

[0019] This technical solution uses indicator lights I and II to indicate whether the preservation is up to standard or not, providing intuitive feedback on the preservation status.
