Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of humidity control technology, and more specifically, to a humidity control device for sheepfolds. Background Technology
[0002] In modern large-scale livestock farming, environmental control in sheep pens is a crucial aspect of ensuring the healthy growth of sheep and improving farming efficiency. Among these factors, humidity is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of the sheep pen environment, directly impacting the physiological health of the sheep, disease prevention and control, and feed conversion rate.
[0003] While existing humidity control devices for sheep sheds can control the humidity inside the shed through humidity sensors, they can only adjust based on a single preset humidity threshold and cannot flexibly adjust according to the actual difference between indoor and outdoor humidity. When the outdoor humidity is suitable but lower than the indoor humidity, the device cannot automatically introduce outdoor air to balance the humidity and still relies on its own equipment for dehumidification, which is not only inefficient but also increases operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0013] An outdoor humidity sensor is installed on the outdoor side of the air inlet duct and is located between the air intake assembly and the sealing assembly.
[0014] The controller is connected to the indoor humidity sensor and the outdoor humidity sensor respectively, and is electrically connected to the drive component. The drive component controls the start and stop of the air-expelling component and the opening and closing of the sealing component in a coordinated manner.

[0023] 1. In this device, the sensor monitors indoor and outdoor humidity data in real time and transmits it to the controller. The controller judges and controls the drive components based on the data. When the outdoor humidity is suitable and lower than the indoor humidity, the air intake component is automatically activated to introduce outdoor air and the sealing component is opened to achieve efficient humidity balance. This design allows the device to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation, improves the humidity regulation efficiency, reduces unnecessary equipment operation, and lowers operating costs.

[0032] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. In this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the term "fixed connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed connection" can mean fixed installation, detachable connection, or integral; it can mean mechanical connection or electrical connection; it can mean direct connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a humidity control device for sheep sheds includes a mounting frame 1, an air inlet pipe 2, a filter assembly, an air intake assembly, a sealing assembly, a drive assembly, a controller 5, an indoor humidity sensor 18, and an outdoor humidity sensor 19.
[0034] The air inlet duct 2 is vertically fixed inside the mounting frame 1, with its two ends extending to the outdoor side and the indoor side respectively. The air inlet duct 2 provides a channel for air circulation, realizing the exchange of indoor and outdoor air.
[0035] The filter assembly is installed at the outdoor end of the air inlet duct 2. The filter assembly can filter dust, impurities and other pollutants in the outdoor air to ensure the cleanliness of the air entering the sheepfold.
[0036] The air intake assembly is located in the middle of the cavity of the air inlet pipe 2;
[0037] The sealing assembly is movably installed at the indoor end of the air inlet duct 2;
[0038] The drive assembly is mounted on the mounting frame 1 and is connected to the air intake assembly and the sealing assembly respectively.
[0039] The controller 5 is fixed to the indoor side surface of the mounting frame 1;
[0040] The indoor humidity sensor 18 is installed on the indoor side of the air inlet duct 2 and is located downstream of the sealing assembly;
[0041] The outdoor humidity sensor 19 is installed on the outdoor side of the air inlet duct 2 and is located between the air intake assembly and the sealing assembly.
[0042] The controller 5 is connected to the indoor humidity sensor 18 and the outdoor humidity sensor 19 respectively, and is electrically connected to the drive component. The drive component controls the start and stop of the air-expelling component and the opening and closing of the sealing component in conjunction with each other.
[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the filter assembly includes a fixed frame 3, which is fixedly connected inside the air inlet pipe 2, and multiple filter screens 4 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 3.
[0044] The fixed frame 3 and multiple filter screens 4 in the filter assembly can effectively intercept dust, particulate matter and other impurities in outdoor air.
[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air intake assembly includes a mounting plate 9, which is fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe 2. A rotating shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 9, and a fan blade 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 10. The end of the rotating shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 3.
[0046] The fan blade 11 rotates via the shaft 10, generating suction to draw outdoor air into the air intake duct 2, thus providing power for indoor and outdoor air exchange.
[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the sealing assembly includes a sealing plate 15, and a connecting shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing plate 15. The two ends of the connecting shaft 13 pass through the sealing plate 15 and extend to its outer side. The two ends of the connecting shaft 13 pass through the air inlet pipe 2 and are rotatably connected to it.
[0048] When outdoor air needs to be introduced to regulate humidity, the sealing plate 15 is opened; when air exchange is not required, the sealing plate 15 is closed, effectively blocking air circulation, ensuring the relative independence of the indoor environment of the sheepfold, and avoiding interference from the external environment on the indoor humidity. At the same time, the sealing plate 15 can also isolate the air inlet pipe 2 to prevent indoor and outdoor air from mixing, causing air humidity to mix and affecting the detection accuracy of the indoor humidity sensor 18 and the outdoor humidity sensor 19.
[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, two mounting grooves 16 are formed on the outer circumference of the sealing plate 15, and sealing rings 17 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the mounting grooves 16.
[0050] The sealing ring 17 enhances the sealing between the sealing plate 15 and the air inlet pipe 2 when the sealing plate 15 is closed, preventing air leakage when the sealing plate 15 is closed. This ensures that the indoor humidity will not be affected by the poor sealing of the air inlet pipe 2 when air exchange is not required, thereby improving the sealing performance and regulation effect of the device.
[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the drive assembly includes a first stepper motor 6, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 7. The end of the drive shaft 7 passes through the mounting frame 1 and is rotatably connected to it. A support plate 8 is rotatably connected to the end of the drive shaft 7, and the bottom of the support plate 8 is fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe 2. The drive assembly also includes two synchronous pulleys 12 arranged vertically. The upper synchronous pulley 12 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 7, and the lower synchronous pulley 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 10. The two synchronous pulleys 12 are connected by a synchronous belt drive. The drive assembly also includes a second stepper motor 14, the output end of which is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft 13.
[0052] It should be noted that the connection between the controller 5 and the indoor humidity sensor 18 and the outdoor humidity sensor 19, as well as the linkage control of the start and stop of the air-expelling component and the opening and closing of the sealing component by the drive component, are common knowledge in this technical field and will not be elaborated on here.
[0053] Working principle: During the operation of the sheepfold humidity control device, the indoor humidity sensor 18 monitors the indoor humidity of the sheepfold in real time and transmits the data to the controller 5; the outdoor humidity sensor 19 monitors the humidity of the outdoor section of the air inlet duct 2 in real time and also transmits the data to the controller 5.
[0054] Controller 5 analyzes and judges indoor and outdoor humidity data:
[0055] When the indoor humidity is higher than the set threshold and the outdoor humidity is lower than the indoor humidity, the controller 5 sends a command to the drive component to start the first stepper motor 6 and the second stepper motor 14. The first stepper motor 6 drives the drive shaft 7 to rotate, and through the synchronous pulley 12 and the synchronous belt, the rotating shaft 10 rotates, which in turn drives the fan blades 11 to rotate. The air intake component starts to work and introduces dry outdoor air into the air intake pipe 2.
[0056] At the same time, the second stepper motor 14 drives the connecting shaft 13 to rotate, causing the sealing plate 15 to rotate and open around the connecting shaft 13. Outdoor air passes through the outdoor end of the air inlet pipe 2, is filtered by the filter screen 4 of the filter assembly, and enters the sheepfold room under the action of the air intake assembly to balance the indoor humidity.
[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
