Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of winter-warm greenhouse protection facilities, specifically relating to a snow storage box for an automatic snow removal protection system for winter-warm greenhouses. Background Technology
[0002] In northern my country, winter-warm greenhouses have not only enriched the vegetable baskets of urban and rural residents but also increased the economic income of vegetable farmers. Because the costs of constructing and growing winter-warm greenhouses are relatively high, these greenhouses must possess strong comprehensive capabilities to cope with natural disasters. High-quality construction is one aspect; furthermore, protective facilities must be strengthened to prevent severe damage from heavy snow. Heavy snow can easily damage or even collapse greenhouses, affecting internal temperature and humidity and harming crops. For many years, heavy snow and strong winds have significantly impacted the greenhouse farming industry, causing serious economic losses to greenhouse vegetable farmers.
[0003] To avoid severe economic losses caused by snow damage to greenhouses, it is necessary to establish a winter-warm greenhouse automatic snow removal protection system. This protection system uses a snow storage box with a snow sensor to detect extreme environments and generate a trigger signal to protect the greenhouse. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a snow storage box for an automatic snow removal protection system for winter-warm greenhouses. This system is used in heavy snow weather. When the snow storage box, which is equipped with a snow sensing device, detects extreme conditions and the snow thickness in the snow storage box exceeds a preset value, a trigger signal is generated to protect the greenhouse and avoid serious economic losses caused by damage to the greenhouse due to heavy snow.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model:
[0006] A snow storage box for an automatic snow removal and protection system in a winter-heated greenhouse is disclosed. The snow storage box is installed on the winter-heated greenhouse and includes an open-top box-shaped shell. A fixing platform is mounted on the rear side wall of the open-top box-shaped shell. An electrical compartment is mounted on the outside of the fixing platform. A DC 5V power multi-core socket and a signal multi-core socket are mounted on the shell of the electrical compartment. An infrared emitting tube is mounted on the left side wall of the open-top box-shaped shell, and a Darlington photoelectric receiving tube is mounted on the right side wall. A PTC ceramic heating element is mounted on the front side wall of the open-top box-shaped shell, and a PTC ceramic heating element is installed inside the heating compartment. A PTC ceramic heating element multi-core socket is mounted on the outer side wall of the heating compartment. A drainage hole is provided at the front bottom of the open-top box-shaped shell, through which water is discharged after the snow inside the open-top box-shaped shell melts.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom plate of the open box-type shell is provided with fixing bolt holes at the four corners;
[0008] Furthermore, the circuit compartment is fixedly connected to the open box-shaped shell by bolts on both sides;
[0009] Furthermore, the heating chamber is fixedly connected to the open box-shaped shell by bolts on both sides;
[0010] Furthermore, the open box-shaped housing has an infrared emitting tube mounting hole on its left side wall and a Darlington photoelectric receiving tube mounting hole on its right side wall; the infrared emitting tube mounting hole and the Darlington photoelectric receiving tube mounting hole are symmetrically arranged.
[0011] Furthermore, the open box-shaped shell is made of aluminum alloy.
[0012] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0013] This utility model discloses a snow storage box for an automatic snow removal protection system for winter-warm greenhouses. When the snow sensing unit and wind sensing unit detect extreme environments and the snow accumulation in the snow storage box exceeds a preset value, a trigger signal is generated to protect the greenhouse and avoid serious economic losses caused by damage to the greenhouse during heavy snow.
