Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barley seedling technology, specifically to an intelligent climate control box for barley seedling cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, artificial seedling raising is often used in barley seedling cultivation. In order to improve the survival rate of barley seedlings, seedling climate chambers are usually used to regulate temperature, humidity, etc., so that the environment inside the climate chamber meets the growth needs of barley seedlings, thereby promoting the germination of barley seeds, improving seedling raising efficiency, and facilitating high-quality and high-yield barley seedling cultivation.
[0003] Existing Chinese patent CN216906140U discloses an artificial climate incubator for breeding and seedling cultivation. This incubator allows for convenient manual adjustment of the internal climate according to breeding and seedling needs, facilitating experiments and improving cultivation efficiency. The spacing between plants inside the incubator can be adjusted to accommodate different crop sizes. However, during seedling cultivation, ventilation is often required. Although the aforementioned incubator uses a motor-driven fan to blow air onto the seedlings, the air inside the chamber cannot be expelled, resulting in poor air circulation and ineffective ventilation. Furthermore, if the internal temperature is too high, heat dissipation is difficult, hindering seedling growth and ultimately negatively impacting barley seedling cultivation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent climate control box for barley seedling cultivation to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent climate control box for barley seedling cultivation, comprising a box body with a door hinged to the front, an adjustable seedling cultivation structure inside the box body, and a fluorescent lamp, a heating plate and a temperature and humidity sensor on the inner wall of the box body, and a water replenishment structure on the box body.
[0006] It also includes a ventilation structure, which includes a fan and an air supply hood installed on one side of the housing, and an exhaust hood installed on the other side of the housing. An air supply pipe is connected between the fan and the air supply hood. An exhaust port is opened on the side of the exhaust hood away from the housing. An air inlet and an air outlet are respectively opened on opposite sides of the inner wall of the housing. A wind sensor is also installed on the inner wall of the housing. The air supply hood covers the air inlet end of the air inlet, and the exhaust hood covers the air outlet end of the exhaust port. A baffle is rotatably installed inside the exhaust port to block it.
[0007] Preferably, the seedling structure includes a fixed plate and a movable plate with a hollow structure. The movable plate is raised and lowered above the fixed plate, and seedling trays are placed on the top of both the fixed plate and the movable plate.
[0008] Preferably, the seedling structure further includes lead screws rotatably installed on both sides inside the box, one end of each of the two lead screws extending to the top of the box and connected to a synchronous belt, a shield illuminating the synchronous belt is installed on the top of the box, and a motor driving one of the lead screws to rotate is installed on the shield.
[0009] Preferably, the water replenishment structure includes a first spray plate installed at the top of the inside of the tank and a second spray plate disposed on the inner wall of the tank.
[0010] Preferably, the water replenishment structure further includes a liquid storage tank installed on the back side of the tank. A water pump is provided on one side of the liquid storage tank, and a liquid delivery main pipe is connected to one side of the water pump. One end of the liquid delivery main pipe is connected to a T-joint, and the other two ends of the T-joint are connected to liquid delivery branch pipes. One end of the two liquid delivery branch pipes is connected to the first spray plate and the second spray plate, respectively.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the box is provided with a drainage hole, and a liquid collection tank corresponding to the drainage hole is provided below the box. A drawer-type filter screen is also provided between the bottom of the fixing plate and the box.
[0012] Preferably, a circulation pump is installed on the back side of the collection tank, and one end of the circulation pump is connected to a return pipe that communicates with the storage tank.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0014] In use, this utility model utilizes a ventilation structure to draw in external air via a fan, which is then delivered into the air supply hood through an air supply pipe. The air is then blown into the box through air inlets on the inner wall, and finally discharged through exhaust vents on the inner wall. This achieves airflow within the box, simulating the blowing of air onto barley seedlings in a seedling tray. A wind sensor monitors the wind speed, allowing for easy adjustment of the fan's blowing force via a control box, thus enabling intelligent climate control. This meets the cultivation needs of barley seedlings, further facilitating their growth and promoting high-quality, high-yield barley cultivation.
[0015] At this time, due to the setting of the baffle, when the barley seedlings are blown with air, the baffle will rotate outward under the action of the wind, opening the exhaust port on one side of the exhaust hood, so that the air can be discharged through the exhaust port. When the blowing of air on the barley seedlings stops, the baffle loses the wind force and, under the action of gravity, naturally rotates downward into the exhaust port on the side of the exhaust hood to block the exhaust port, so that the inside of the box remains sealed, which helps to maintain the temperature inside the box, thereby facilitating the climate control of barley cultivation and achieving high-quality barley cultivation.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-4The intelligent climate control box for barley seedling cultivation shown includes a box body 1 with a door hinged to the front. The box body 1 is equipped with an adjustable seedling cultivation structure. The inner wall of the box body 1 is also equipped with a fluorescent lamp 19, a heating plate 20 and a temperature and humidity sensor 25. The box body 1 is also equipped with a water replenishment structure. A control box for easy operation of various electrical components is provided on one side of the box body 1. The heating plate 20 has an electric heating wire or an electric heating tube built in.
[0025] It also includes a ventilation structure, which includes a fan 3 and an air supply hood 5 installed on one side of the housing 1, and an exhaust hood 8 installed on the other side of the housing 1. An air supply pipe 4 is connected between the fan 3 and the air supply hood 5. An exhaust port is opened on the side of the exhaust hood 8 away from the housing 1. An air inlet and an air outlet are respectively opened on opposite sides of the inner wall of the housing 1. A wind force sensor is also installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The air supply hood 5 covers the air inlet end of the air inlet, and the exhaust hood 8 covers the air outlet end of the exhaust port. A baffle 9 is rotatably installed inside the exhaust port to block it.
[0026] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned seedling structure, continue as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, the seedling structure includes a fixed plate 21 and a movable plate 22 with a hollow structure. The movable plate 22 is raised and lowered above the fixed plate 21, and seedling trays 23 are placed on the top of both the fixed plate 21 and the movable plate 22. The seedling structure also includes lead screws 16 rotatably installed on both sides inside the box 1. One end of each lead screw 16 extends to the top of the box 1 and is connected to a synchronous belt. A baffle 6 is installed on the top of the box 1 to illuminate the synchronous belt, and a motor 7 is installed on the baffle 6 to drive one of the lead screws 16 to rotate.
[0027] As described above, when raising barley seedlings, the seedling tray 23 containing barley seeds is first placed on the movable plate 22 and the fixed plate 21. Then, the box door is closed, and the temperature and humidity inside the box 1 are preset by the temperature and humidity sensor 25. The temperature and humidity inside the box 1 are monitored in real time by the temperature and humidity sensor 25. If the humidity is insufficient, water can be added to the barley seedlings on the seedling tray 23 in time through the water replenishment structure. Water can also be sprayed through the water replenishment structure to simulate rainy weather. If the temperature is insufficient, it can be heated by the heating plate 20 until the temperature inside the box 1 reaches the set temperature. The barley surface on the seedling tray 23 can also be irradiated by the fluorescent lamp 19 to simulate sunlight. The heat generated when the fluorescent lamp 19 is working can be used to increase the temperature inside the box 1, thereby achieving climate control during barley seedling raising and ensuring the healthy growth of barley seedlings.
[0028] During the barley seedling cultivation process, the blower 3 can be turned on. At this time, the blower 3 draws in external air and delivers it into the air supply hood 5 through the air supply pipe 4. Then, it blows the air into the box 1 through the air inlet on the inner wall of the box 1. After that, the air inside the box 1 is discharged through the exhaust hole on its inner wall. At this time, under the action of the wind, the baffle 9 rotates outward, opening the exhaust port on one side of the exhaust hood 8, so that the air is discharged through the exhaust port. This realizes the air flow inside the box 1, thereby simulating the blowing of wind on the barley seedlings on the seedling tray 23. The wind force can be monitored by the wind force sensor, so that the wind force of the blower 3 can be adjusted by the control box, thereby realizing the intelligent control of the climate, which can meet the cultivation needs of barley seedlings, further facilitate the cultivation of barley seedlings, and is conducive to the high-quality and high-yield planting of barley.
[0029] Secondly, after the barley seedlings are blown with air, the baffle 9 loses its airflow and, under the influence of gravity, naturally rotates downwards into the exhaust vent on one side of the exhaust hood 8 to seal the exhaust vent, thus keeping the inside of the box 1 sealed. This helps to maintain the temperature inside the box 1, thereby facilitating climate control for barley cultivation and achieving high-quality barley cultivation.
[0030] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned seedling structure, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the water replenishment structure includes a first spray plate 17 installed at the top of the inside of the tank 1 and a second spray plate 18 installed on the inner wall of the tank 1. Both the first spray plate 17 and the second spray plate 18 are equipped with atomizing nozzles. The water replenishment structure also includes a liquid storage tank 10 installed on the back side of the tank 1. A water pump is installed on one side of the liquid storage tank 10, and a liquid delivery main pipe 14 is connected to one side of the water pump. One end of the liquid delivery main pipe 14 is connected to a three-way connector 13, and the other two ends of the three-way connector 13 are connected to liquid delivery branch pipes 15. One end of the two liquid delivery branch pipes 15 is connected to the first spray plate 17 and the second spray plate 18, respectively. A liquid filling pipe is provided on the top of the liquid storage tank 10.
[0031] When watering the barley seedlings in the seedling tray 23, the water in the storage tank 10 can be pumped out by a water pump and delivered to the two delivery branch pipes 15 through the main delivery pipe 14 and the three-way connector 13. Then, the two delivery branch pipes 15 deliver the water to the first spray plate 17 and the second spray plate 18 respectively. Then, the first spray plate 17 and the second spray plate 18 spray the water onto the seedling tray 23, thereby watering the barley seedlings to replenish their water and ensure their normal growth.
[0032] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the box 1, and a liquid collection tank 2 corresponding to the drain hole is provided below the box 1. A drawer-type filter screen plate 24 is also provided between the bottom of the fixing plate 21 and the box 1.
[0033] When the barley seedlings are irrigated, excess water in the seedling tray 23 on the movable plate 22 will be discharged and fall into the seedling tray 23 on the fixed plate 21. Then, excess water in the seedling tray 23 on the fixed plate 21 will be discharged and drained into the collection tank 2 through the drainage hole at the bottom of the box 1. When excess water in the seedling tray 23 on the fixed plate 21 is discharged, the water first flows through the filter screen plate 24. At this time, the filter screen plate 24 filters the water. The filtered water is drained into the collection tank 2 through the drainage hole, thereby realizing the collection of water and facilitating the recycling of water.
[0034] The filter screen 24 adopts a drawer-type structure. When it needs to be cleaned, simply open the box door and pull the filter screen 24 out from the inside of the box 1 to disassemble it, thereby cleaning the filter screen 24, ensuring the filtration effect of the filter screen 24, and further facilitating the recycling of water.
[0035] In another embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a circulation pump 11 is installed on the back side of the collection tank 2, and one end of the circulation pump 11 is connected to a return pipe 12 that communicates with the storage tank 10.
[0036] After the filtered water is collected in the collection tank 2, the water stored in the collection tank 2 can be pumped out by the circulation pump 11 and then transported into the storage tank 10 through the return pipe 12 for subsequent irrigation of barley seedlings, thereby realizing the recycling of water and achieving the effect of saving water resources.
[0037] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
