Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of agricultural environmental monitoring, specifically a humidity detection device for agricultural environments. Background Technology

[0002] A greenhouse is a modern agricultural facility that uses light-transmitting materials such as plastic film, glass, or PC panels to cover crops. In addition to natural light, artificial control methods are used to create an artificial microclimate suitable for the growth of vegetables and other crops. Humidity detectors are installed inside the greenhouse to monitor the humidity in real time, ensuring that the greenhouse environment is always kept within the range most suitable for crop growth, thereby improving the yield and quality of vegetable cultivation.

[0003] In practical use, existing technology has low reliability in humidity detection because the humidity detector is fixedly installed inside the greenhouse. Since different locations inside the greenhouse are affected by the angle and duration of sunlight, the humidity in different locations inside the greenhouse will vary. Therefore, this fixed-point detection device cannot reflect the overall humidity status inside the greenhouse. Utility Model Content

[0019] The present patent is further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this patent, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to this patent, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0020] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this patent. A humidity detection device in an agricultural environment includes a ring track 1 and a humidity detector 2. One end of a hanging rod 3 is installed on the upper wall of the ring track 1, and the other end of the hanging rod 3 is installed on the wall above the inner side of the outer greenhouse. A through groove 4 is opened on the lower wall of the ring track 1, and an annular rubber strip 5 is slidably installed in the through groove 4. The cross-section of the annular rubber strip 5 is I-shaped. The humidity detector 2 is installed on the lower wall of the annular rubber strip 5.

[0021] The annular rubber strip 5 can seal the through groove 4, thereby preventing external dust and dew from entering the annular track 1 and avoiding affecting the engagement between the drive gear 9 and the tooth groove 6, thus affecting the movement of the humidity detector 2.

[0022] The upper wall of the annular rubber strip 5 is provided with a toothed groove 6, and the side wall of the annular track 1 is provided with a through hole 7. A motor 8 is inserted and installed in the through hole 7. The motor 8 is electrically connected to an external power source. A drive gear 9 is installed at the output end of the motor 8. The drive gear 9 can mesh with the toothed groove 6.

[0023] After being powered on, the motor 8 can drive the drive gear 9 to rotate, which, in cooperation with the tooth groove 6, drives the annular rubber strip 5 to move, which in turn drives the humidity detector 2 to move inside the greenhouse to detect the ambient humidity in various parts of the greenhouse, thereby improving the reliability of the detection results and enabling it to accurately reflect the overall humidity situation inside the greenhouse.

[0024] A connecting frame 10 is installed on the lower wall of the annular rubber strip 5. The humidity detector 2 is installed on the side wall of the connecting frame 10. One end of the support rod 11 is installed on both the left and right sides of the upper wall of the connecting frame 10. The other end of the support rod 11 is attached to the lower wall of the annular track 1.

[0025] The support rod 11 can support the connecting frame 10, making the sliding of the connecting frame 10 more stable when the annular rubber strip 5 moves.

[0026] The annular rubber strip 5 includes a rubber strip body 51, a groove 52, a sliding plate 53 and a spring 54. The rubber strip body 51 is slidably installed in the through groove 4. The upper wall of the rubber strip body 51 is provided with a groove 52. The sliding plate 53 is slidably installed in the groove 52. One end of the spring 54 is installed on the lower wall of the sliding plate 53. The other end of the spring 54 is installed on the inner wall of the groove 52.

[0027] In this paper, the tooth groove 6 is set above the sliding plate 53. Under the action of the spring 54, the tooth groove 6 on the sliding plate 53 can be tightly engaged with the drive gear 9, so as to avoid slippage between the drive gear 9 and the tooth groove 6.

[0028] Meanwhile, two protrusions are provided on both sides of the sliding plate 53, and a slot is provided in the sliding groove 52 to cooperate with the protrusions, so as to prevent the sliding plate 53 from sliding in the sliding groove 52 and causing slippage.

[0029] The hanging rod 3 includes a vertical rod body 31, a horizontal rod body 32 and a hook 33. The horizontal rod body 32 is installed on the upper wall of the circular track 1, and the vertical rod body 31 is installed on the upper wall of the horizontal rod body 32. The other end of the vertical rod body 31 is equipped with a hook 33, which can be hung on the roof of the external shed.

[0030] The side wall of the circular track 1 is provided with a clearance groove 12, which corresponds to the position of the through hole 7, and a baffle plate 13 is inserted and installed in the clearance groove 12.

[0031] By setting the clearance groove 12, it is convenient to inspect or replace the drive gear 9 inside the annular track 1.

[0032] Both the side wall of the annular rubber strip 5 and the upper wall of the support rod 11 are equipped with ball bearings 14, which can fit against the side wall of the annular track 1.

[0033] The ball bearing 14 allows for smoother movement of the annular rubber strip 5 and the support rod 11, preventing jamming.

[0034] When this patent is in operation, the motor 8 is started, which drives the drive gear 9 to rotate. In cooperation with the tooth groove 6, the gear 9 drives the annular rubber strip 5 to move, which in turn drives the humidity detector 2 to move inside the greenhouse to detect the ambient humidity in various parts of the greenhouse. This improves the reliability of the detection results and enables the detector to accurately reflect the overall humidity situation inside the greenhouse.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this patent is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this patent. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this patent is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this patent. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
