Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a constant temperature and light incubator for vegetable breeding, and more particularly to a constant temperature and light incubator for vegetable breeding. Background Technology

[0002] The vegetable breeding constant temperature and light incubator is a high-end experimental device designed specifically for vegetable variety selection, seedling cultivation, and physiological research. Its core function is to simulate natural or specific climatic conditions by precisely controlling environmental parameters such as temperature, light, and humidity, providing a stable and controllable growth environment for vegetable seed germination, seedling growth, and plant development.

[0003] Existing constant temperature and light incubators for breeding typically have a frame structure filled with high-efficiency heat insulation materials such as polyurethane to effectively reduce heat exchange. The temperature control system uses a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature inside the chamber in real time and feeds the data back to the control chip. When the temperature is lower than the set value, the heating element (such as a heating wire) is activated to raise the temperature. The lighting system uses an LED light source and can adjust different combinations and intensities of different spectra (red, blue, white, etc.) to meet the light requirements of plants at different growth stages.

[0004] Existing constant temperature and light incubators for vegetable breeding typically require maintaining a certain level of humidity during use. This is usually achieved by spraying water through spray pipes. However, when the spray pipes atomize the water, some of it tends to adhere to the inner wall of the incubator, leading to some water seepage and overflow. This can result in water waste and pollution, thus affecting the stability of humidity control. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problem that when existing vegetable breeding constant temperature and light incubators use spray pipes to atomize water for humidification, some water tends to adhere to the inner wall of the chamber, resulting in water seepage loss, water waste and pollution, and thus affecting the stability of humidification.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a constant temperature and light incubator for vegetable breeding, comprising a box body and a water storage tank. The water storage tank is fixed on the side wall of the box body. A water collection tank is inserted into the side wall of the box body away from the water storage tank. Several support frames are snapped onto the inner side wall of the box body. A tray is installed on the surface of the support frames. A box door is rotatably connected to the side wall of the box body. A spray pipe is inserted into the top of the box body. Nozzles are inserted into the side wall of the spray pipe near the tray. A water pump is installed at the bottom of the inner side of the water storage tank. A flexible hose is inserted into the output end of the water pump. A filter screen is snapped into the middle of the water collection tank. A connecting pipe is inserted into the side wall of the water collection tank. One end of the connecting pipe passes through the side wall of the water collection tank and is threadedly connected to a limiting cylinder. A filter element is snapped into the middle of the limiting cylinder. An end cap is threadedly connected to the other end of the limiting cylinder. A grid mesh is fixed in the middle of the end cap.

[0007] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the side wall of the tank, which is connected to the inside of the tank. The water collection tank is snapped into the middle of the slot, which improves the stability of the water collection tank installation.

[0008] Furthermore, a through groove is provided on the side wall of the box near the slot, and the other end of the connecting pipe passes through the through groove to connect with the water storage tank, which improves the convenience of connecting the water storage tank and the water collection tank.

[0009] Furthermore, a bracket is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water collection tank. The bracket is U-shaped and fixedly connected to the water collection tank to form an integral unit. The bracket is supported at the bottom of the filter screen. A handle is fixedly installed on the side wall of the water collection tank, which improves the stability of the filter screen support.

[0010] Furthermore, several sets of sliding grooves are provided on the inner side wall of the box. The sliding grooves are all linearly distributed to allow the support frame to slide. The support frame is grid-shaped, which improves the convenience of the support frame installation.

[0011] Furthermore, heating light strips are fixed on the side walls of the housing near the upper part of the slide, and the heating light strips are symmetrically distributed.

[0012] Furthermore, a temperature and humidity sensor is fixed on the side wall of the enclosure, and a heating wire is installed at the bottom of the enclosure. The temperature and humidity sensor is coupled with the heating wire, which improves the accuracy of temperature control.

[0013] Furthermore, an observation window is embedded in the surface of the door, and a sealing ring is snapped onto the inner wall of the door, which improves the sealing performance of the door.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] Compared to traditional constant temperature and light incubators for vegetable breeding, this incubator facilitates preliminary filtration and wastewater collection through the combination of the chamber, water collection tank, and filter screen. The combination of limiting cylinder, end cap, filter element, and grid screen improves the quality of wastewater filtration. The combination of water collection tank, connecting pipe, and water storage tank facilitates water circulation, thereby saving water, reducing water leakage and pollution, and improving the stability of humidity control in the incubator.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Among the currently discovered feasible technologies, the following are described:

[0024] The vegetable breeding constant temperature and light incubator is a precision instrument that integrates environmental control technology, intelligent sensing technology, and materials science. Its working principle is based on the comprehensive application of theories from multiple disciplines such as thermodynamics, optics, and fluid mechanics. Through the coordinated operation of the temperature control system, light regulation system, humidity regulation system, ventilation circulation system, and intelligent control system, precise control of the environment inside the incubator is achieved.

[0025] The temperature control system uses heating elements (such as heating wires) to raise the temperature; the lighting system provides light of different spectra and intensities through LED light sources; the humidity control system maintains the set humidity with the help of humidifiers and dehumidifiers; and the intelligent control system monitors and adjusts various parameters in real time to ensure environmental stability.

[0026] The outer layer of the incubator is usually made of cold-rolled steel plate with powder coating, which has good rust and corrosion resistance. The inner layer is mostly made of mirror stainless steel, which is easy to clean and prevents contamination. The door is usually a double-layer design, with the outer door being insulated and the inner door using a large area of ​​transparent glass, which makes it convenient for researchers to observe the growth status of the samples inside the incubator, while reducing the impact of opening the door on the internal environment.

[0027] Light source type: The mainstream uses LED light source. Compared with traditional fluorescent lamps, LED light source has significant advantages such as low energy consumption, less heat generation, long life and adjustable spectrum. By combining LED beads of different colors (such as red light 660nm, blue light 450nm, white light 400-700nm, infrared light 730nm, etc.), the natural spectrum or a specific spectrum can be customized to meet the light quality requirements of different vegetable varieties at various growth stages.

[0028] Light intensity adjustment: Supports stepless adjustment of light intensity from 0-22000 Lux or even higher. The light intensity can be precisely set through the control system according to experimental needs, providing sufficient and suitable light conditions for vegetables.

[0029] Photoperiod control: The light and dark times can be freely set to simulate the natural day and night cycle and meet the photoperiod requirements for vegetable growth. Some high-end incubators also support multi-segment photoperiod programming, which can set different light parameters at different time periods to more closely resemble natural environmental changes.

[0030] Humidifiers are core components in equipment such as constant temperature and light incubators used to regulate environmental humidity. By converting liquid water into water vapor or tiny water droplets, they increase the water vapor content in a closed space, meeting the humidity requirements for plant growth or experiments.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-5A constant temperature and light incubator for vegetable breeding includes a chamber body 1 and a water storage tank 2. The water storage tank 2 is fixed to the side wall of the chamber body 1 to store clean water. A water collection tank 3 is inserted into the side wall of the chamber body 1 away from the water storage tank 2. The water collection tank 3 is used to collect wastewater dripping from the inner side wall of the chamber body 1. Several support frames 4 are snapped onto the inner side wall of the chamber body 1. The support frames 4 are made of stainless steel and are all grid-shaped to provide support and limit movement while facilitating air circulation. A tray 5 is installed on the surface of the support frame 4. The tray 5 is made of plastic and is used to hold vegetable seeds. A door is rotatably connected to the side wall of the chamber body 1. 6. The door 6 is used to seal the box body 1. An observation window is embedded in the surface of the door 6 for the breeder to observe. A sealing ring is snapped on the inner side wall of the door 6 to improve the sealing performance of the door 6, thereby reducing heat loss inside the box body 1 and ensuring constant temperature. A spray pipe 9 is inserted into the top of the box body 1. Nozzles 15 are inserted into the side wall of the spray pipe 9 near the tray 5. The nozzles 15 are used to atomize the water flow to improve the uniformity of spraying. A water pump 11 is installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 2. A hose 10 is inserted into the output end of the water pump 11. The other end of the hose 10 is inserted into the top of the spray pipe 9. At the end, a filter screen 14 is snapped into the middle of the water collection tank 3. The filter screen 14 is made of gauze and is used to filter large particles of impurities. A connecting pipe 12 is inserted into the side wall of the water collection tank 3. One end of the connecting pipe 12 passes through the side wall of the water collection tank 3 and is threaded to a limiting cylinder 18. A filter element 21 is snapped into the middle of the limiting cylinder 18. The filter element 21 is made of activated carbon filter cotton and has a honeycomb structure inside to further filter the collected wastewater. The other end of the limiting cylinder 18 is threaded to an end cap 19 for support and limiting. A grid mesh 22 made of metal is fixed in the middle of the end cap 19. The water supply is distributed in a grid pattern while supporting and limiting the filter element 21. When the water pump 11 is started, water is drawn from the inside of the water storage tank 2 and flows through the hose 10 and the spray pipe 9, and then is atomized and sprayed out by the nozzle 15, thereby maintaining the humidity inside the box 1. When the sprayed water splashes and drips along the inner side wall of the box 1, it can flow into the inside of the water collection tank 3. The wastewater is initially filtered by the box 1 and flows to the bottom of the box 1, and then filtered by the filter element 21 before flowing into the inside of the water storage tank 2, which facilitates the collection and recycling of wastewater and can improve the stability of the humidity of the constant temperature and light incubator for vegetable breeding.

[0032] A slot 13 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1, which is connected to the interior of the housing 1. The water collection tank 3 is snapped into the middle of the slot 13, which improves the stability of the installation of the water collection tank 3. A through groove is provided on the side wall of the housing 1 near the slot 13. The other end of the connecting pipe 12 passes through the through groove and is connected to the water storage tank 2, which improves the convenience of connecting the water storage tank 2 and the water collection tank 3. A bracket 17 is fixed on the inner side wall of the water collection tank 3. The bracket 17 is U-shaped and fixedly connected to the water collection tank 3 to form an integral unit. The bracket 17 is supported on the bottom of the filter screen 14. A handle 20 is fixed on the side wall of the water collection tank 3, which improves the stability of the filter screen 14.

[0033] Several sets of sliding grooves 7 are provided on the inner side wall of the box 1. The sliding grooves 7 are all linearly distributed to allow the support frame 4 to slide, which improves the convenience of installing the support frame 4. Heating lamp strips 8 are fixed on the side wall of the box 1 near the upper part of the sliding grooves 7 for emitting light. The heating lamp strips 8 are symmetrically distributed to improve the uniformity of light distribution. Temperature and humidity sensors 16 are fixed on the side wall of the box 1. Heating wire is installed at the inner bottom of the box 1. The temperature and humidity sensors 16 are coupled with the heating wire to improve the accuracy of temperature control.

[0034] When using this vegetable breeding constant temperature and light incubator, the operator first moves the device to the designated position and connects the power supply. The vegetable seeds are then evenly placed inside the tray 5, and substrate is added inside the tray 5. The substrate is a basic material used to support plant growth, providing a suitable environment for root attachment, water and fertilizer retention, and aeration. The substrate is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. After closing the door 6, the heating wire at the bottom of the chamber 1 is activated. The heating wire is a resistive element that converts electrical energy into heat energy, thereby heating the inside of the chamber 1. The water pump 11 is then activated to draw water from the water storage tank 2, which flows through the hose 10 and the spray pipe 9, and is then atomized and sprayed out through the nozzle 15, thus maintaining the humidity inside the chamber 1. When the sprayed water splashes and drips along the inner wall of the chamber 1, it flows into the water collection tank 3. The wastewater is initially filtered by the chamber 1 and flows to the bottom of the chamber 1, and then filtered through the filter element 21 before flowing into the water storage tank 2, thus facilitating wastewater collection and recycling, and improving the stability of humidity in the vegetable breeding constant temperature and light incubator.

[0035] Considering that a lot of impurities are collected inside the water collection tank 3 and need to be cleaned, the operator can pull the handle 20 to pull the water collection tank 3 out of the slot 13. At this time, the operator can remove the filter screen 14 supported on the surface of the bracket 17 for cleaning. Then, turn the end cover 19 clockwise to separate the limiting cylinder 18 and the end cover 19, so as to facilitate the replacement of the filter element 21 and ensure the stability of the flow in the connecting pipe 12.
