Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural technology, specifically to an intelligent temperature and humidity control and regulation device for plant factories. Background Technology

[0002] A plant factory is a highly efficient agricultural system that enables continuous year-round crop production through precise environmental control within a facility. It utilizes computer and sensor technologies to precisely regulate environmental factors such as light, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, and nutrient solution required for plant growth, providing optimal growing conditions that allow plants to grow rapidly and healthily without being affected by the natural environment. Plant factories offer advantages such as saving land resources, high production efficiency, reliable product quality and safety, and no seasonal or geographical limitations. They enable standardized and large-scale production of agricultural products and represent a crucial direction for future agricultural development, playing a vital role in ensuring food security and promoting sustainable agricultural development.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A smart temperature and humidity control device for a plant factory includes a housing 1, a control panel 2 installed on one side of the housing 1, and a temperature and humidity sensor body 3 installed on the top side of the housing 1.

[0028] By setting up the housing 1, the fan 4, the warm air cover 6, and the humidifying cover 10 can be integrated into the housing 1, thereby reducing the size of the device and making it easy to transport. This makes it suitable for use in rotation among multiple greenhouses, reducing the cost of use. By setting up the temperature and humidity sensor body 3, the temperature and humidity in the environment can be detected and the detection information can be transmitted to the control panel 2. The control panel 2 controls the fan 4 and the switch components to open or close, thereby realizing intelligent adjustment of temperature and humidity.

[0029] It also includes a fan 4, which is fixedly installed on the side of the housing 1 adjacent to the control panel 2. The fan 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the first pipe 5, and the other end of the first pipe 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the heater cover 6. A heat sink 7 is fixedly installed inside the heater cover 6. A hot water tank 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the housing 1. An electric heating element and a hot water pump are installed inside the hot water tank 17. The output end of the hot water pump is connected to the inlet of the heat sink 7, and the outlet of the heat sink 7 is connected to the inside of the hot water tank 17. The top of the first pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second pipe 8, and one side of the first pipe 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the third pipe 9. Next, one side of the third pipe 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the humidifying cover 10. A paper water curtain 11 is fixedly installed inside the humidifying cover 10. A cold water tank 18 is installed on the other side of the bottom of the box 1. A cold water pump is installed inside the cold water tank 18. The output end of the cold water pump is connected to the top of the paper water curtain 11 through a water pipe. A water receiving tray 19 is set at the bottom of the paper water curtain 11. The bottom of the water receiving tray 19 is connected to the cold water tank 18 through a pipe. The first pipe 5 and the third pipe 9 are set inside the box 1. The top of the second pipe 8 is set above the top of the box 1. The warm air cover 6 and one side of the humidifying cover 10 are set outside the box 1 and fixedly connected to the box 1.

[0030] By setting up the fan 4, air inside the greenhouse can be drawn into the first pipe 5. When used with the hot water tank and heat sink 7, the temperature inside the greenhouse can be increased. When used with the cold water tank 18 and paper water curtain 11, the humidity inside the large basin can be increased. When used with the second pipe 8, the temperature or humidity inside the greenhouse can be decreased, thereby achieving the regulation of temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse.

[0031] It also includes three sets of switch assemblies, which are respectively installed in the first pipe 5, the second pipe 8 and the third pipe 9. Each switch assembly includes a fixing ring 12, which is installed inside the first pipe 5, the second pipe 8 or the third pipe 9. The top of the fixing ring 12 is rotatably connected to the baffle 14 through a hinge 13. One side of the baffle 14 abuts against one side surface of the fixing ring 12. An electromagnet 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing ring 12, and a small iron block 16 that works with the electromagnet 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the baffle 14.

[0032] By setting up the electromagnet 15 body and the small iron block 16, the opening and closing of the baffle 14 can be controlled. When the electromagnet 15 body is energized, it will attract the small iron block 16, thereby closing the baffle 14. When the electromagnet 15 body is closed, the baffle 14 will be blown upward and rotated open by the high-speed airflow drawn in by the fan 4, thereby opening the corresponding pipe. Through the three sets of switch components, the first pipe 5, the second pipe 8 and the third pipe 9 can be opened and closed individually, thereby guiding the high-speed airflow drawn in by the fan 4 to different positions, thereby achieving different effects.

[0033] In practical use, the device is moved to a designated location inside the greenhouse, with the top of the second pipe 8 leading to the outside of the greenhouse. The operator can set a suitable temperature and humidity range via the control panel 2. When the temperature and humidity sensor 3 detects that the ambient temperature is too low, it will activate the electric heating element to heat the medium in the hot water tank 17. Simultaneously, the fan 4 is activated, the first switch assembly is turned on, and the second and third switch assemblies remain closed. The fan 4 draws air from the greenhouse into the first pipe 5 and blows a high-speed airflow through the warm air cover 6 onto the heat sink 7. At the same time, the warm water pump is activated, drawing the heating medium from the hot water tank 17 and pumping it into the heat sink 7. The high-speed airflow is heated by the heat sink 7 and returns to the greenhouse, thereby increasing the temperature inside the greenhouse. When the ambient humidity is too low, the control panel... Board 2 will turn on the cold water pump, drawing room temperature water from the cold water tank 18 and pumping it to the top of the paper water curtain 11, where it will flow downwards. The third switch assembly will be turned on while the first and second switch assemblies will remain closed. The fan 4 will be turned on, and the fan 4 will blow high-speed air through the first pipe 5 to the second pipe 8 and the humidification hood 10. When the high-speed air passes through the paper water curtain 11, it will accelerate water evaporation and carry water vapor back into the greenhouse, thereby increasing the humidity inside the greenhouse. When the temperature or humidity inside the greenhouse is too high, the second switch assembly can be turned on while the first and third switch assemblies remain closed. The fan 4 will then be turned on to exhaust the air inside the greenhouse to the outside through the second pipe 8, thereby accelerating the air exchange between the inside and outside of the greenhouse and reducing the temperature or humidity inside the greenhouse.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
