Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of solar greenhouses, solar heating, air environment control (temperature, humidity, oxygen content and exhaust gas discharge, etc.) and heat energy recovery technology, and in particular to a solar soil storage and heating device for heat recovery and air dehumidification in solar greenhouses. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, soil water evaporation and crop transpiration during the planting process affect the air moisture content inside the greenhouse, increasing the relative humidity and causing a decline in air quality, which seriously affects normal planting. Simultaneously, under solar radiation, the air and other substances in the greenhouse absorb solar energy and gain heat, resulting in high temperature and humidity during the day and low temperature and high relative humidity at night in facility agriculture in cold northern regions. During the day, the greenhouse temperature increases due to solar heat gain, but so does the humidity, requiring ventilation for cooling and dehumidification. At night, the greenhouse temperature needs to be increased to reduce the relative humidity and meet planting requirements.

[0003] The applicant has discovered that the existing technology has at least the following technical problems: Currently, the ventilation and air exchange of solar greenhouses are carried out through natural convection and mechanical pressurization to reduce humidity and lower the temperature inside the greenhouse. Although this can solve the ventilation and air exchange function, it brings new disadvantages, namely, a large amount of heat is lost and wasted inside the greenhouse, increasing the heat load of the solar greenhouse and increasing the heating and operating costs of the solar greenhouse.

[0004] To address this issue, methods for increasing soil temperature and dehumidifying the air inside solar greenhouses at night primarily utilize underfloor heating, hot air heating, radiator systems, and air conditioning hot air systems. Heat sources mainly include oil-fired fans, electric fans, ultra-low temperature air source heat pumps, ordinary solar collectors, and coal / gas / electric boilers. These methods result in high heat demand and energy consumption, leading to high investment and operating costs, and thus failing to effectively solve the planting challenges of solar greenhouses in northern regions. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solar soil storage and heating device for heat recovery and air dehumidification in solar greenhouses, so as to solve the technical problem of difficult environmental control in solar greenhouses in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a solar soil heat storage and supply device for heat recovery and air dehumidification in a solar greenhouse, comprising a solar collector, a soil heat storage and supply device, and a fresh air total heat recovery device; wherein:

[0008] The solar collectors are arranged on the outside of the greenhouse to convert solar energy into heat energy;

[0009] The soil heat storage and heating device is arranged in the planting soil of the solar greenhouse and is connected to the solar collector.

[0010] The fresh air total heat recovery device is installed inside the solar greenhouse, with one end connected to the solar collector and the other end connected to the soil heat storage and heating device.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the soil heat storage and heating device includes several underground PVC heat exchange pipes, all of which are connected in parallel and evenly buried in the planting soil.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the fresh air total heat recovery device includes an exhaust fan, an air intake, an air outlet pipe, an air return pipe, a drainage assembly, and an air supply outlet; wherein:

[0013] The number of exhaust vents is several, and they are evenly arranged inside the greenhouse.

[0014] The exhaust fan is connected to all the air vents through pipes to extract air from the greenhouse.

[0015] One end of the air outlet pipe is connected to the exhaust fan, and the other end is connected to the solar collector;

[0016] One end of the return air pipe is connected to the soil heat storage and heating device through the drainage assembly; the other end of the return air pipe is connected to several air outlets.

[0017] Several of the aforementioned air outlets are evenly arranged inside the greenhouse.

[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, the exhaust vent is located on the upper part of the sun-facing side of the greenhouse.

[0019] As a further improvement of this utility model, the air outlet is located in the middle of the shaded side of the greenhouse.

[0020] As a further improvement of this utility model, the air outlet has an air outlet direction that is obliquely downward.

[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inlet of the exhaust port is oriented at an upward angle.

[0022] As a further improvement of this utility model, both the exhaust port and the air supply port have a flared shape.

[0023] As a further improvement of this utility model, the drainage assembly includes a one-way automatic drain and an underground drainage channel; wherein:

[0024] The one-way automatic drainer is installed on the air return pipe located on the side of the planting soil;

[0025] The underground drainage channel is located below the one-way automatic drain and is connected to the one-way automatic drain.

[0026] This utility model of a solar soil heat storage and supply device for heat recovery and air dehumidification in a solar greenhouse consists of a solar collector (main heat source), a soil heat storage and supply device, and a fresh air total heat recovery device. The above three devices are organically combined to form a livestock house environment control device. Powered by an exhaust fan, the high humidity and hot air in the solar greenhouse is heated by the solar collector to increase the temperature and improve the air temperature quality. High-temperature air is transported underground to exchange heat with the planting soil, raising the soil temperature. At the same time, the air temperature decreases and the relative humidity increases to the condensation saturation point, causing the moisture in the air to condense into water, which is automatically discharged from the system through a one-way drain pipe and seeps into the soil. The cooled, low-humidity air after heat exchange is then sent into the greenhouse, realizing heat recovery and humidity reduction. This not only meets the basic requirements of heat recovery and daytime cooling and dehumidification in greenhouses, but also achieves energy conservation and emission reduction, ultimately increasing profits. It solves the problem in northern cold regions where low winter temperatures, low soil temperatures in greenhouses, and high relative humidity at night affect crop root growth, introduce diseases, and ultimately impact overall crop development, yield, and quality.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a solar soil heat storage and supply device for heat recovery and air dehumidification in a solar greenhouse, including a solar collector 4, a soil heat storage and supply device, and a fresh air total heat recovery device; wherein:

[0034] Solar collector 4 is arranged on the outside of the solar greenhouse 1 to convert solar energy into heat energy; specifically, solar collector 4 is arranged on the sun-facing side of the solar greenhouse 1; in this embodiment, considering the length of the solar greenhouse 1, two sets of solar soil storage and heating devices for solar greenhouse heat recovery and air dehumidification are arranged; the two sets of solar soil storage and heating devices for solar greenhouse heat recovery and air dehumidification are symmetrically arranged.

[0035] The soil heat storage and heating device is arranged in the planting soil 2 of the solar greenhouse 1 and is connected to the solar collector 4; low temperature soil heat exchange technology is used to store the air heat energy in the greenhouse into the soil.

[0036] The fresh air total heat recovery device is installed inside the solar greenhouse 1, with one end connected to the solar collector 4 and the other end connected to the soil heat storage and heating device.

[0037] The solar soil heat storage and supply device collects solar energy through a solar collector 4 and converts it into efficient hot air to heat the underground soil, raising the ground temperature and realizing the functions of soil heat storage and ground temperature increase to meet the needs of agricultural planting. The solar soil heat storage and supply device can store as much of the solar heat gained by the greenhouse 1 during the day into the planting soil 2, and minimize the relative humidity inside the greenhouse (and reduce the water content in the air), reduce or avoid ventilation of the greenhouse 1, and reduce and avoid energy waste. This utility model is based on the solar soil heat storage and supply device and combines low temperature heat exchange and condensation technology to solve the environmental control problem of the greenhouse 1.

[0038] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the soil heat storage and heating device includes several underground PVC heat exchange pipes 6, all of which are connected in parallel and evenly buried in the planting soil 2.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fresh air total heat recovery device includes an exhaust fan 10, an air intake 8, an air outlet 5, an air return pipe 11, a drainage assembly, and an air supply vent 7; wherein:

[0040] There are several exhaust vents 8, which are evenly arranged inside the greenhouse 1; specifically, the exhaust vents 8 are evenly arranged along the length of the greenhouse 1.

[0041] The exhaust fan 10 is connected to all the air vents 8 through pipes to extract the air from the greenhouse 1;

[0042] One end of the air outlet pipe 5 is connected to the exhaust fan 10, and the other end is connected to the solar collector 4, which is used to draw the high temperature and high humidity air extracted from the solar greenhouse 1 into the solar collector 4.

[0043] One end of the return air pipe 11 is connected to the soil heat storage and heating device through a drainage component; the other end of the return air pipe 11 is connected to several air outlets 7.

[0044] Several air outlets 7 are evenly arranged inside the solar greenhouse 1.

[0045] This device collects solar heat inside the solar greenhouse 1, while reducing the relative humidity of the air inside the greenhouse and increasing the heat storage capacity of the soil, thereby reducing the number of solar collectors 4 that provide heat energy to the soil, and thus reducing the overall cost and investment of the solar soil heat storage and supply system.

[0046] Specifically, the air supply outlet 7 extends along the length of the greenhouse 1; and the underground PVC heat exchange pipe 6 is connected to all the air supply outlets 7 through the underground ventilation pipe 9 and the return air pipe 11.

[0047] This utility model uses a multi-vent system for both exhaust and supply of air, which creates multiple micro-circulations within the building, generating multiple air convections, thereby achieving the air convection function within the building.

[0048] Considering that hot and humid air tends to rise to the top, in this embodiment, the exhaust vent 8 is located on the upper part of the sun-facing side of the greenhouse 1.

[0049] Considering that the return air location cannot be close to the exhaust vent 8 to avoid drawing the return air out during exhaust, in this embodiment, the air supply vent 7 is located in the middle of the shaded side of the greenhouse 1.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the air outlet 7 is oriented diagonally downwards to facilitate the delivery of return air to the lower part of the greenhouse 1, which not only avoids the exhaust vent 8 as much as possible, but also helps the return gas to mix with the air in the greenhouse 1.

[0051] Furthermore, the inlet of exhaust vent 8 is angled upwards.

[0052] In order to improve the efficiency of ventilation, in this embodiment, both the exhaust port 8 and the air supply port 7 are funnel-shaped.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the drainage assembly includes a one-way automatic drainer 12 and an underground drainage channel 13; wherein:

[0054] One-way automatic drainer 12 is installed on the return air pipe 11 located on both sides of the planting soil; low temperature soil condensation technology is used to condense the water vapor in the greenhouse air into the soil, thereby reducing the humidity inside the greenhouse.

[0055] The underground drainage channel 13 is located below the one-way automatic drain 12 and is connected to the one-way automatic drain 12.

[0056] This utility model discloses a solar soil heat storage and supply device for heat recovery and air dehumidification in a solar greenhouse 1. The device consists of a solar collector 4 (main heat source), a soil heat storage and supply device, and a fresh air total heat recovery device. The three devices are organically combined to form a pasture environment control device. The device combines low-temperature heat exchange technology with solar soil heat storage and supply technology to achieve the function of regulating the ground temperature and air environment of the pasture, so as to meet the needs of agricultural winter production. Power is provided by the exhaust fan 10 to heat the high humidity hot air in the solar greenhouse 1 through the solar collector 4 to increase the temperature and improve the air temperature quality. High-temperature air is transported to the underground planting soil 2 for heat exchange, raising the soil temperature. At the same time, the air temperature decreases and the relative humidity increases to the condensation saturation point, causing the moisture in the air to condense into water, which is discharged from the system through an automatic one-way drain and seeps into the soil. The low-temperature, low-humidity air after heat exchange is sent into the solar greenhouse 1, realizing heat recovery and humidity reduction in the solar greenhouse 1. This not only meets the basic requirements of heat recovery and daytime cooling and dehumidification in the solar greenhouse 1, but also achieves energy conservation and emission reduction functions, ultimately increasing profits. This solves the problem in northern cold regions where low winter temperatures, low soil temperatures in the solar greenhouse 1, and high relative humidity at night affect crop root growth, introduce diseases, and ultimately affect the overall development and growth of crops, thus impacting yield and quality.
