Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent agricultural equipment technology, and in particular to a modular intelligent planting system for home use with integrated environmental control functions. Background Technology

[0002] Home smart planting systems simulate natural growing conditions to achieve efficient crop cultivation. These systems need to integrate structural support, light control, air circulation, temperature and humidity management, and irrigation functions. The core challenge lies in the coordinated control and modular integration of multiple environmental parameters within a limited space, while also considering user ease of installation and energy efficiency.

[0003] For example, the "Assembled Plant Growth Box" disclosed in Chinese Patent CN109123456A (publication date: 2020.05.12) adopts a plug-in frame + membrane structure, but lacks an intelligent environmental control module and relies on manual intervention; the "Intelligent Lighting Planting Device" described in US Patent US2018307654B2 (grant date: 2021.11.02) only adjusts the LED lights by preset spectrum curves and does not integrate the linkage control of ventilation, temperature and humidity and irrigation; the "Greenhouse Environmental Control Equipment" described in Japanese Patent JP2020156781C (publication date: 2022.03.18) has fan, irrigation and exhaust functions, but has a complex structure and depends on a fixed site.

[0004] In summary, the existing technology has the following drawbacks:

[0005] 1. Functional fragmentation: The environmental control modules (lighting / ventilation / irrigation) operate independently and cannot dynamically coordinate according to the plant growth cycle;

[0006] 2. Poor structural adaptability: Large greenhouse components are difficult to miniaturize, and simple planting boxes lack intelligent expansion interfaces;

[0007] 3. Insufficient environmental simulation: The necessity of dynamic simulation of natural wind (such as oscillating fans) and odor filtration (carbon filter system) for the home environment is ignored;

[0008] 4. Low installation efficiency: Traditional frame assembly steps are cumbersome, affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0009] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a modular intelligent planting system for home use that integrates environmental control functions. Through a quick-assembly and disassembly structure design, combined with a multi-parameter intelligent controller, it achieves precise and coordinated control of light spectrum, air flow field, temperature and humidity, and irrigation within a limited space. While dynamically simulating the natural growth environment, it solves the problems of odor control and space adaptation in the home environment.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a modular intelligent planting system for home use, comprising:

[0011] The detachable tent body consists of a steel pipe frame and a composite outer cover, which includes a high-strength woven fiber layer and an inner composite high-reflectivity aluminum film layer.

[0020] Preferably, the intelligent controller is configured to: synchronously adjust the spectral curve of the full-spectrum lamp, the oscillation frequency of the oscillating fan, the start / stop threshold of the exhaust mechanism, and the irrigation duration of the water pump based on preset plant growth cycle parameters.

[0021] Preferably, the ventilation control module drives two oscillating fans to operate in differential mode, wherein the speed of the first fan is 1.2-1.8 times that of the second fan, and the oscillation phase difference is 90°-180°.

[0022] Preferably, the exhaust control module includes a temperature and humidity sensor and an odor sensor. When the temperature is detected to be greater than 30°C or the odor concentration is greater than 100ppm, the carbon filter is triggered to start.

[0023] Preferably, the light control module is configured to dynamically match the spectral curve during the plant growth cycle, wherein:

[0024] Seedling stage: Blue light wavelength (400-450nm) accounts for ≥60%;

[0025] Growth period: Red light band (600-700nm) accounts for ≥55%;

[0028] Preferably, the irrigation control module is connected to a soil moisture sensor. When the soil moisture is <40%, the water pump is started. The irrigation duration is calculated according to the formula: T=K×(70%-current humidity value)×planting area, where K is the crop type coefficient, with a value range of 0.5-2.0min / m².

[0039] Please see Figures 1-3 The modular intelligent planting system for home use, as described in this invention, achieves efficient plant cultivation in a home setting through the integrated design of a detachable tent structure, a multi-parameter collaborative controller, and environmental simulation components. The implementation details and optional variations are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and technical solutions:

[0040] I. Structural Composition and Connection Method

[0041] 1. Detachable tent body

[0042] The tent's main structure consists of a steel pipe frame 11 and a composite outer cover 12. The core innovation of the steel pipe frame 11 lies in its quick-release joint design: the main body uses lightweight galvanized steel pipes with a diameter of 22mm, which are quickly locked using plug-in sleeves 111 and elastic buckles 112. The plug-in sleeve 111 is a stainless steel cylinder with an inner diameter of 22.5mm and a circular positioning hole on its inner wall; the elastic buckle 112 is a spring pin formed from spring steel. During installation, the steel pipe is inserted into the sleeve to the limit point, and the elastic buckle 112 automatically engages with the circular positioning hole to complete the fixation. A single person can assemble a 1.5m³ space within 5 minutes. The composite outer cover 12 adopts a dual-layer functional design: the outer layer is a 500D nylon woven fiber layer (tensile strength ≥80MPa, thickness 0.8mm), which forms a breathable micropore array with a pore size of 0.3mm±0.05mm (density 200 pores / cm²) through laser perforation; the inner layer is a vacuum-metallized film (reflectivity ≥95%, thickness 50μm), which is laminated to the inside of the fiber layer with hot melt adhesive. This structure ensures a moisture permeability of over 85% while reducing internal heat loss by 42% (tested according to GB / T 11048 standard).

[0043] In alternative implementations, the frame 11 may also be made of carbon fiber tube (30% weight reduction) or glass fiber reinforced PP tube (20% cost reduction); the elastic buckle 112 may be replaced with a magnetic lock (neodymium iron boron magnet, attraction force ≥10N) or a knob-type quick-connect fitting; the aluminum film layer may be replaced with a nano-ceramic reflective coating (reflectivity ≥92%, enhanced weather resistance).

[0044] 2. Intelligent Controller 20

[0045] The intelligent controller 20 is located below the planting platform 13 and features a sealed design. The hardware of the intelligent controller 20 is built based on the STM32F407 main control chip, integrating four major control modules onto a single four-layer PCB board (120mm × 80mm). The lighting control module drives the LED full-spectrum lamps 30; the ventilation control module outputs PWM signals to regulate the fan 40; the exhaust control module connects to a temperature and humidity sensor (SHT35 type) and an odor sensor (MQ-135 type); the irrigation control module collects data from a soil moisture sensor (FDR principle, accuracy ±2%). All modules communicate via a CAN bus with a data transmission rate of 1Mbps. The intelligent controller has four standard Type-C electrical interfaces, supports 5A / 12V DC power supply, and features a built-in foolproof design to prevent incorrect insertion.

[0046] II. Working Mechanism of Environmental Simulation Components

[0047] 1. Coordinated control of light, temperature and wind

[0048] The full-spectrum lamp 30 uses 2835 LED beads, with blue (450nm) and red (660nm) beads mixed in a 2:3 ratio. During the seedling stage, the intelligent controller 20 activates the blue light-dominant mode (60% blue light content, 150μmol / m² / s light intensity), simultaneously reducing the speed of the oscillating fan 40 to 800rpm. After entering the flowering period, it switches to the red light enhancement mode (55% red light content, 200μmol / m² / s light intensity), and the fan 40 speed is increased to 1000rpm and differential operation is activated: the first fan 41 (near the lamp side) runs at a high speed of 1200rpm to accelerate heat dissipation, while the second fan 42 runs at a low speed of 800rpm. The phase difference between the two fans is set to 120° to create turbulence that simulates a natural wind environment.

[0049] 2. Carbon filter exhaust linkage mechanism

[0050] The exhaust system uses a centrifugal fan (not shown in the diagram) (power 25W, air volume 15m³ / h), connected to a columnar carbon filter 52 via a PVC duct 51. The carbon filter 52 is fixed to the top side wall of the tent. The carbon filter 52 is filled with coconut shell activated carbon with a particle size of 2-4mm (filling amount ≥200g, iodine value 1000mg / g). When the temperature and humidity sensor detects a temperature >30℃ or the odor sensor detects a VOC concentration >100ppm, the intelligent controller 20 starts the fan and activates the carbon filter 52. Actual measurements show that the system reduces the ammonia concentration from 50ppm to below 1ppm (adsorption rate >98%) within 30 minutes, while maintaining the internal temperature fluctuation ≤±2℃.

[0051] 3. Implementation of Dynamic Irrigation Algorithm

[0052] The irrigation control module collects soil moisture data every 30 minutes. When the humidity falls below a set threshold (40% for leafy vegetables, 50% for fruit vegetables), the pump operating time is calculated using the formula T = K × (70% - current humidity value) × planting area. Where K is the crop coefficient: K=0.8 for lettuce, K=1.5 for tomatoes. For example, for lettuce with a planting area of ​​0.8m², when the humidity drops to 35%: T=0.8×(70%-35%)×0.8=0.8×35%×0.8=22.4 seconds. After the pump starts, it irrigates evenly through the drip irrigation tape, increasing the humidity by approximately 15%-20% after each water supply.

[0053] In alternative implementations, the oscillating fan 40 can be replaced with a multi-directional jet fan assembly (3 fixed fans distributed at 120°); the drip irrigation system can be replaced with ultrasonic atomizing irrigation (suitable for aeroponic cultivation); and the activated carbon can be replaced with zeolite molecular sieves (optimized for formaldehyde adsorption) or a photocatalytic oxidation module.

[0054] III. System Workflow and Performance Verification

[0055] 1. Full lifecycle workflow

[0056] Quick assembly: Unfold the steel pipe frame 11, lock the 4 longitudinal pipes and 8 transverse pipes with elastic buckles 112, cover with the composite cover 12 and seal with zipper 121;

[0057] Component connection: The full-spectrum lamp 30 is suspended on the top bracket, the oscillating fan 40 is fixed to the side wall column, the exhaust mechanism is installed on the top side wall, and the water pump 60 is connected to the water storage tank.

[0058] Intelligent control: Select "Lettuce planting" via mobile APP, and the controller will automatically load growth parameters and adjust the spectrum / wind speed / irrigation strategy according to the stage;

[0059] Maintenance and expansion: The carbon filter 52 should be plugged in and replaced every 3 months. When adding a new CO2 replenishment module, connect it to the reserved interface.
