[0025] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0026] The following is combined Figures 1 to 3 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, according to an embodiment of the utility model, a heat storage growth pot device is provided. The heat storage growth pot device includes: a pot body 110; a heat storage body 120 disposed outside the pot body 110 and rotatably connected to the pot body 110; and a driving mechanism 130 connected to the heat storage body 120 to drive the heat storage body 120 to unfold and detach from the pot body 110 and store heat when the relative temperature is high, or to drive the heat storage body 120 to fit against the pot body 110 to heat the pot body 110 when the relative temperature is low.
[0028] The heat storage growing pot device is a device used to improve the temperature control of the plant growth environment. The temperature of the pot body 110 is adjusted by the expansion of the heat storage body 120 or its contact with the pot body 110 to meet the temperature requirements of different plant growth stages.
[0029] The pot body 110 can be used to directly hold plants and growing medium, such as soil. The heat storage body 120 can be made of a material with good heat capacity. The drive mechanism 130 is able to adjust the position of the heat storage body 120 in response to changes in external temperature, and the drive mechanism 130 is responsible for controlling the unfolding and closing actions of the heat storage body 120.
[0030] When the temperature is low, the heat storage body 120 is in contact with the pot body 110, and the heat storage body 120 releases the stored heat to heat the pot body 110, providing a more stable and suitable growing environment for the plants.
[0031] When the temperature is high, the drive mechanism 130 will drive the heat storage body 120 to unfold and detach it from the pot body 110. At this time, the heat storage body 120 can absorb and store heat from the environment, preventing the temperature inside the pot body 110 from becoming too high, thereby protecting the plant from heat damage.
[0032] The drive mechanism 130 effectively regulates the temperature inside the pot body 110 by adjusting the unfolding and closing of the heat storage body 120, meeting the temperature requirements of different plants at different growth stages. The heat storage body 120 can absorb heat when the temperature is high and release heat when the temperature is low; this recycling of heat helps save energy. By precisely controlling the temperature, the impact of extreme temperatures on plant growth can be reduced, improving the quality and yield of plant growth.
[0033] This invention separates the heat storage body 120 from the soil, which can improve the ease of soil replacement and reduce the impact of the heat storage body 120 on the soil.
[0034] Furthermore, the heat storage body 120 includes: a packaging shell; and a heat storage body disposed inside the packaging shell.
[0035] The packaging shell can be a plastic shell, with the heat storage unit housed inside. This not only protects the heat storage unit from external environmental damage but also helps maintain the shape and stability of the heat storage unit 120. The heat storage unit is responsible for storing and releasing heat; for example, a phase change material can absorb or release a large amount of heat when the temperature changes. The design of the heat storage unit needs to consider its heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal stability to ensure its effectiveness and reliability under different temperature conditions.
[0036] The heat storage body absorbs heat from the surrounding environment and stores it as latent heat. When the temperature is low, the heat storage body releases the stored heat, which is transferred to the bowl body 110 through heat conduction, raising its internal temperature. The heat storage body helps to stably release heat when the temperature drops.
[0037] Furthermore, the heat storage body includes: a capsule shell; and a temperature-controlled phase change material body disposed inside the capsule shell.
[0038] In this embodiment, the capsule shell is the outer protective layer of the heat storage body. Its function is to protect the internal temperature-controlled phase change material body and prevent it from being physically damaged or leaking.
[0039] The temperature-controlled phase change material is the core of the heat storage body. It utilizes the properties of phase change materials to absorb or release a large amount of heat at a specific temperature. During phase change processes (such as from solid to liquid or from liquid to solid), phase change materials can store or release latent heat, which is far greater than the heat that the same mass of water can store or release under the same temperature change.
[0040] The design of temperature-controlled phase change material bodies needs to take into account the phase change temperature range, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and chemical stability to ensure their effectiveness and reliability in specific applications.
[0041] When the ambient temperature rises, the temperature-controlled phase change material begins to absorb heat and undergo a phase change, such as from a solid to a liquid state, storing a large amount of latent heat in the process. This phase change process helps to lower the temperature of the heat storage material and its surrounding environment, preventing overheating. When the ambient temperature decreases, the temperature-controlled phase change material begins to release the stored latent heat, changing from a liquid to a solid state. This phase change process helps to raise the temperature of the heat storage material and its surrounding environment, maintaining a suitable temperature range. Through the phase change process, the heat storage material can stably absorb and release heat within a certain temperature range, reducing temperature fluctuations.
[0042] Furthermore, the packaging shell's temperature-controlled phase change material is paraffin wax. To achieve separation between the soil and the phase change material, improve the ease of soil replacement, and reduce the impact of the phase change material on the soil, this product also employs a microencapsulation method using PVC material to encapsulate the ring-shaped paraffin wax.
[0043] The packaging shell is made of plastic and has a piston opening for opening or closing. To extend the lifespan of the outer capsule, this design incorporates a piston opening mechanism, allowing the phase change material inside the capsule to be replaced. When the phase change material becomes ineffective, only the new phase change material needs to be replaced, significantly reducing replacement costs.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, both the bowl body 110 and the heat storage body 120 are cubic structures.
[0045] The cubic structure has high structural stability and can withstand a certain amount of external pressure, which is beneficial for plant growth in the pot body 110 and thermal management of the heat storage body 120. The cubic structure of the heat storage body 120 can fit closely with the cubic structure of the pot body 110, which helps to improve the efficiency of heat exchange, allowing heat to be transferred more quickly from the heat storage body 120 to the pot body 110, or from the pot body 110 to the heat storage body 120.
[0046] Furthermore, the heat storage body 120 has a rotating hole on one side of its bottom, and the bottom of the bowl body 110 has...
[0047] Rotating shaft, rotating
[0048] The shaft passes through the rotating hole so that the heat storage body 120 is rotatably connected to the bowl body 110.
[0049] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 130 includes: an elastic element 131 connected to the bowl body 110 and the heat storage body 120; a pneumatic push rod 132 connected to the heat storage body 120; and a pneumatic pressure generating device connected to the pneumatic push rod 132 via a pneumatic passage, so that the air in the pneumatic push rod 132 is compressed and extended to drive the heat storage body 120 to separate from the bowl body 110, or so that the air in the pneumatic push rod 132 is released to drive the heat storage body 120 to fit against the bowl body 110.
[0050] In this embodiment, the elastic element 131, for example, can be a spring, to provide a restoring force, ensuring that the heat storage body 120 remains in contact with the bowl body 110 when the pneumatic push rod 132 is not in operation. When the temperature is high, the air pressure generating device compresses air and sends it into the pneumatic push rod 132, causing it to extend and push the heat storage body 120 away from the bowl body 110. This process allows the heat storage body 120 to absorb heat from the environment while preventing overheating inside the bowl body 110. When the temperature is low, the air pressure generating device reduces or stops supplying air to the pneumatic push rod 132, releasing the air inside the pneumatic push rod 132, causing it to contract. Under the restoring force of the elastic element 131, the heat storage body 120 re-adheres with the bowl body 110, and the heat storage body 120 releases the stored heat to heat the bowl body 110.
[0051] Pneumatic systems are generally more energy-efficient than electric systems because they can quickly stop consuming energy when no action is needed. Due to their simpler mechanical structure and fewer moving parts, pneumatic systems typically offer higher reliability and a longer service life.
[0052] Furthermore, the air pressure generating device includes: a housing; a temperature-controlled phase change material body disposed inside the housing; wherein, the air passage includes an external air pipe, one end of which extends into the housing, and the other end of which is connected to the cylinder of the pneumatic push rod 132.
[0053] The outer shell is connected to the external air pipe via a hot-melt sealant layer. The pneumatic actuator 132 is encapsulated in a thermally conductive plastic shell with an opening at the top. This opening is sealed with hot-melt adhesive during device operation. When the paraffin wax fails, simply remove the surface hot-melt adhesive, replace the phase change material in the plastic shell, and then re-encapsulate with hot-melt adhesive. This method does not affect the heat transfer from the paraffin wax to the soil inside the container, nor does it hinder the replacement of the paraffin wax.
[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear illustration and are not intended to limit the implementation.
[0055] For those skilled in the art, various variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom remain within the protection scope of this invention.
