[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic supplemental lighting device for plant factories, including a support frame 1, and further including: a light source carrier plate 2, located at the upper end of the support frame 1, which provides illumination; a steering adjustment component 3, located on the support frame 1, which drives the light source carrier plate 2 to adjust its left and right angles and its up and down angles, so that the light source carrier plate 2 can flexibly change the direction and angle of illumination according to the growth status and needs of the plants; and a lifting adjustment component, located in a rectangular groove of the support frame 1, which can adjust the overall height of the steering adjustment component 3 and the light source carrier plate 2 in real time according to the growth height of the plants, ensuring that the light source carrier plate 2 always maintains a suitable distance from the plants, and ensuring the intensity and uniformity of illumination.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4The steering adjustment assembly 3 includes a Z-shaped structural plate 31. One end of the structural plate 31 is provided with a retaining ring structure 32, on which an extension post 33 is mounted. One side of the extension post 33 is connected to an adjustment plate body 35 via a movable shaft 36. One end of the movable shaft 36 is provided with a transmission gear 361, the teeth of which mesh with a driven retaining tooth located below it. The driven retaining tooth is connected to the power output end of a first drive motor 37, which is mounted on the extension post 33. One end of the adjustment plate body 35 is provided with a positioning connecting block 351. The positioning connecting block 351 is connected to the light source carrier plate 2. Since the driven tooth and the transmission gear 361 mesh with each other, they will drive the movable shaft 36 to rotate. The movable shaft 36 is connected to the adjustment plate 35, which is in turn connected to the light source carrier plate 2 through the positioning connecting block 351. Therefore, the rotation of the movable shaft 36 can realize the adjustment of the up and down angle of the light source carrier plate 2. This allows the light source carrier plate 2 to illuminate the plant at a suitable up and down angle according to the actual growth of the plant, avoiding the occurrence of light dead angles and ensuring that the plant can receive sufficient light in different positions.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 Both the positioning connecting block 351 and the light source carrier plate 2 have reserved positioning holes. The light source carrier plate 2 is detachably assembled on the positioning connecting block 351. During long-term use, the light source carrier plate 2 may malfunction. By adopting a detachable assembly method, when a malfunction occurs, the staff can quickly remove the light source carrier plate 2 from the positioning connecting block 351, which facilitates subsequent maintenance work.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The extension column 33 is assembled in the retaining ring structure 32 via a rotating shaft 34. The end of the rotating shaft 34 is provided with a toothed cavity, which engages with the connecting teeth at the output end of the second drive motor 38. The second drive motor 38 is mounted on the back plate of the structure plate 31 in the opposite direction. In use, the connecting teeth at the output end of the second drive motor 38 engage with the toothed cavity at the end of the rotating shaft 34, which can drive the rotating shaft 34 to rotate. Since the extension column 33 is assembled in the retaining ring structure 32 via the rotating shaft 34, the rotation of the rotating shaft 34 will cause the extension column 33 to rotate within the retaining ring structure 32. Furthermore, since the extension column 33 is connected to the adjusting plate 35, and the adjusting plate 35 is connected to the light source carrier plate 2 via the positioning connecting block 351, the left and right angle adjustment of the light source carrier plate 2 is realized, thereby further increasing the coverage and flexibility of the light, and adapting to the needs of different planting layouts and plant distributions.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4The lifting and adjusting assembly includes a lifting and adjusting motor 4 installed in the base of the support frame 1. The output end of the lifting and adjusting motor 4 is connected to a screw 41 installed in the guide groove of the support frame 1. The screw 41 is connected to the structural plate 31. By driving the screw 41 to rotate through the lifting and adjusting motor 4, the height of the structural plate 31 and the light source support plate 2 can be adjusted to ensure that the light source and the plant always maintain a suitable distance, so that the plant can get sufficient and suitable light at each growth stage, promote photosynthesis, and benefit the healthy growth of the plant.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An environmental sensor 5 is provided on one side of the base of the support frame 1. The environmental sensor 5 can monitor environmental parameters such as light intensity in real time and transmit the data to the control center 11. Based on this data and the growth needs of the plant, the control center 11 controls the steering adjustment component 3 and the lifting adjustment component to adjust the angle and height of the light source carrier plate 2 to achieve precise supplemental lighting. The environmental sensor 5 is installed on the fixed rod 51, which is a horizontal telescopic structure that can adjust the distance of the environmental sensor 5 according to the actual situation.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The support frame 1 is equipped with a control center 11 on its side, and the control center 11 is equipped with multiple communication interfaces.
[0027] The control center 11 is electrically connected to the first drive motor 37, the second drive motor 38, and the environmental sensor 5 through PLC programming technology.
[0028] In use, the environmental sensor 5 on one side of the base of the support frame 1 monitors environmental parameters such as light intensity in the plant factory in real time. Since it is installed on the horizontally extendable fixed rod 51, its position can be adjusted as needed to accurately collect data and transmit the data to the control center 11. The control center 11 receives the data from the environmental sensor 5 and, in combination with the preset plant growth requirements, controls the first drive motor 37 to operate through PLC programming technology, causing the movable rotating shaft 36 to rotate, thereby driving the adjustment plate 35 and the light source carrier plate 2 to achieve vertical angle adjustment. At the same time, the control center 11 can also control the second drive motor 38 to start, driving the rotating shaft 34 to rotate, causing the extension column 33 to rotate within the retaining ring structure 32. Finally, the left and right angle adjustment of the light source carrier plate 2 is achieved through the adjustment plate 35 and the positioning connecting block 351. When it is necessary to adjust the vertical height, the control center 11 controls the lifting adjustment motor 4 to start, the lifting adjustment motor 4 drives the screw 41 to rotate, and the screw 41 drives the structural plate 31 and the light source carrier plate 2 to adjust the height.
[0029] 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.
