Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automated greenhouse accessories, specifically an automated greenhouse temperature control device. Background Technology
[0002] Greenhouses are important agricultural production facilities, and smart agriculture using IoT technology has become a hot topic in order to improve greenhouse management efficiency. Upgrading traditional greenhouses into smart greenhouses using IoT technology, as a new form of facility agriculture, focuses on the application of IoT technology in crop cultivation to automate greenhouse operation.
[0003] In layman's terms, an automated greenhouse temperature control device is a control cabinet or control box inside an automated greenhouse. It uses temperature and humidity sensors inside the automated greenhouse as sensing elements to detect the temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse, and controls the opening and closing of equipment such as wet curtains, rolling curtain machines, and fans to achieve the effect of regulating the temperature and humidity inside the automated greenhouse, so that the crops inside the automated greenhouse can grow in a more suitable environment.
[0004] Existing automated greenhouse temperature control devices are usually installed on the surface of metal columns, crossbars, or beams inside the greenhouse. The arrangement of the incoming and outgoing lines of automated greenhouse temperature control devices is divided into two types: one is that the cables run upwards and are arranged through structures such as top conduits; the other is that the cables run downwards, and are arranged on the ground, underground, or directly on the ground through conduits. The incoming and outgoing lines are usually exposed and lack protection, making them prone to damage. During irrigation, pesticide spraying, and other processes, especially in automated greenhouses where the nozzles are on the ground, it is easy to cause short circuits in the cables. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated greenhouse temperature control device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated greenhouse temperature control device, including a base, with a wire groove inside the base; an inspection port is provided on the outer surface of the base, and an inspection plate is connected inside the inspection port, with limit bolts penetrating both sides of the outer surface of the inspection plate; and a baffle is connected to the back of the base by a fixing strip.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during the installation of underground pipelines, workers can open the inspection port to facilitate the operation of cables emerging from the underground conduits. This avoids the situation where the base is too high, preventing workers from accessing the cables in the conduit area during wiring and subsequent maintenance. Specifically, when threading new cables through the conduit, workers can contact the cables just emerging through the inspection port, or thread cables from the bottom of the control cabinet into the conduit. After the cables are installed, workers place the inspection plate into the inspection port and lock it with the limit bolts. The inspection plate is limited in all directions—up, down, left, right, and rear—by the inspection port. The positioning bolts only need to withstand the forward force of the inspection plate to prevent it from falling forward. When installing ground pipelines, workers can first connect the pipelines to the baffle, select a baffle with a size similar to the pipeline, and then remove the baffle. The removal method is to cut or otherwise damage the fixing strip on the outer ring of the baffle, causing the baffle to lose its support and fall, thus making it easier to insert the pipeline into the base to complete the wiring. At this time, workers can also open the inspection plate to facilitate the wiring. If the pipeline cannot be directly connected, workers can use two bends and a vertical pipe to form a Z-shaped pipe to connect to the base and the pipeline.
[0008] Furthermore, mounting holes are provided on both the top and bottom sides of the base.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff can install the base on the ground through the mounting holes on both sides of the bottom of the base and the expansion bolts. The expansion bolts can also be chemical anchors, anchor bolts, etc. The installation position of the base should correspond to the ground pipeline or underground pipeline. Then the staff can install the control cabinet on the top of the base with ordinary bolts, and the cable hole at the bottom of the control cabinet corresponds to the cable tray.
[0010] Furthermore, the inspection plate is detachably connected to the inspection port via limiting bolts.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the cables are installed, the staff puts the inspection plate into the inspection port and locks it with the limit bolts. The inspection port limits the inspection plate in all directions, so the limit bolts only need to bear the forward force of the inspection plate, thus preventing the inspection plate from falling forward.
[0012] Furthermore, multiple baffles are provided, and all of the baffles are circular.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, workers can first connect the pipeline and the baffle, select a baffle with a size similar to the pipeline, and then disassemble the baffle to adapt to pipelines of different sizes.
[0014] Furthermore, multiple fixing strips are provided, and the multiple fixing strips are distributed in a circular array.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle is detachable. The method of detachment is to break the fixing strip of the outer ring of the baffle by cutting or other destructive means.
[0016] Furthermore, a control cabinet is installed on the top of the base, and an alarm light is installed on the top of the control cabinet. A touch screen and multiple control knobs are installed on the outer surface of the control cabinet.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solutions, the temperature and humidity sensors in the automated greenhouse can transmit electrical signals to the control cabinet, and the control cabinet can transmit control signals to equipment such as wet curtains, rolling curtain machines, and fans to control the operating frequency or opening and closing functions. Staff can also view the temperature and humidity information in the automated greenhouse through the touch screen, or manually control equipment such as wet curtains, rolling curtain machines, and fans through the touch screen and control knobs.
[0018] Furthermore, the cable tray extends through the top and bottom of the base and is connected to the interior of the control cabinet.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to connect cables in ground or underground conduits to the control cabinet. The base can protect the control cabinet cables entering and exiting from the bottom, and the exposed cables between the control cabinet and the conduit are wrapped by the base, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuits after cable damage and contact with water.
[0020] Furthermore, an anti-loss rope is connected between the inspection plate and the base, and knots are provided at both ends of the anti-loss rope.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the two ends of the anti-loss rope are respectively connected to the inspection plate and the base, and the two ends of the anti-loss rope are tied to form a knot, so that the anti-loss rope is stably connected and not easy to fall off, thus making it less likely to be lost after the inspection plate is removed.
[0022] Furthermore, a handle is fixed above the outer surface of the inspection plate.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to avoid the inspection plate being stuck in the inspection port and difficult to remove, a handle is set to increase the force application point, so that the staff can remove the inspection plate by using the handle.
[0024] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0025] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a base and a cable trough, facilitates the installation and support of the control cabinet without relying on the greenhouse pillars. The cable trough facilitates the protection of the control cabinet cables with lower inlet and outlet lines, so that the exposed cables between the control cabinet and the conduit are wrapped by the base, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuits after cable damage and contact with water; it also facilitates the protection of the control cabinet cables with lower inlet and outlet lines.
[0026] 2. This utility model, through the design of an inspection port, inspection plate, and limiting bolts, allows for easy access to cables protruding from underground conduits during installation. This avoids the situation where excessively high base height prevents workers from reaching the cables in the conduit area during wiring and subsequent maintenance. Specifically, when inserting new cables into the conduit, workers can contact the cables emerging through the inspection port, or insert cables from the bottom of the control cabinet into the conduit. After cable installation, the inspection plate can be placed into the inspection port and locked with the limiting bolts. The inspection port limits the inspection plate's position (top, bottom, left, right, and rear), so the limiting bolts only need to withstand the forward force of the inspection plate, preventing it from falling forward. This facilitates the installation of underground pipelines.
[0027] 3. This utility model, through the setting of baffles and fixing strips, allows for easy installation of ground pipelines. First, the pipeline and baffle are connected. A baffle with a size similar to the conduit can be selected and then disassembled. Disassembly is achieved by cutting the fixing strip around the outer ring of the baffle, causing it to fall and lose support. This facilitates the insertion of the conduit into the base for wiring. The inspection panel can also be opened for easy wire connection. If the conduit cannot be directly connected, a Z-shaped pipe can be formed using two bends and a vertical pipe, connecting to the base and the conduit. This facilitates the installation of ground pipelines. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0035] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0036] Example 1:
[0037] An automated greenhouse temperature control device, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a base 1 with a cable groove 7 running through its top and bottom, connecting to the control cabinet 3. An inspection port 8 is located on the outer surface of the base 1, with an inspection plate 9 connected inside. The inspection plate 9 is detachably connected to the inspection port 8 via limit bolts 10, which pass through both sides of its outer surface. Multiple baffles 11 are connected to the back of the base 1 via fixing strips 12. These baffles are circular, with varying inner and outer diameters. The larger diameter baffles are connected to smaller diameter baffles via fixing strips. Multiple fixing strips 12 are arranged in a circular array. During underground pipeline installation, workers can open the inspection port 8 to easily access the cables passing through the underground conduits, preventing the base 1 from being too high and hindering workers' access to the conduit area and cables during wiring and subsequent maintenance. When the cable passes through the conduit, the worker can contact the cable that has just emerged from the conduit through the inspection port 8, or thread the cable at the bottom of the control cabinet 3 into the conduit. After the cable is installed, the worker places the inspection plate 9 into the inspection port 8 and locks it with the limit bolt 10. The inspection plate 9 is limited by the inspection port 8 in all directions, so the limit bolt 10 only needs to bear the forward force of the inspection plate 9 to prevent the inspection plate 9 from falling forward. When installing the ground pipeline, the worker can first connect the pipeline to the baffle 11, select a baffle 11 with a size similar to the conduit, and then disassemble the baffle 11. The disassembly method is to cut or otherwise damage the fixing strip 12 on the outer ring of the baffle 11, so that the baffle 11 loses its support and falls, thus making it easier to insert the conduit into the base 1 to complete the wiring. At this time, the worker can also open the inspection plate 9 to operate for wire lead. If the conduit cannot be directly connected, the worker can connect the base 1 and the conduit by forming a Z-shaped pipe with two bends and a vertical pipe.
[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In the above embodiment, mounting holes 2 are provided on both sides of the top and bottom of the base 1. The staff can install the base 1 on the ground through the mounting holes 2 on both sides of the bottom of the base 1 and expansion bolts. The expansion bolts can also be chemical anchors, anchor bolts, etc. The installation position of the base 1 should correspond to the ground pipeline or underground pipeline. Then, the staff can install the control cabinet 3 on the top of the base 1 with ordinary bolts. The wire hole at the bottom of the control cabinet 3 corresponds to the wire trough 7. The control cabinet 3 is installed on the top of the base 1. The control cabinet 3 is equipped with an alarm light 4. The outer surface of the control cabinet 3 is equipped with a touch screen 5 and multiple control knobs 6. After the wiring is installed, the temperature and humidity sensor in the automated greenhouse can transmit electrical signals to the control cabinet 3. The control cabinet 3 can transmit control signals to equipment such as wet curtains, rolling curtain machines, and fans to control the operating frequency or start and stop functions. The staff can also view the temperature and humidity information in the automated greenhouse through the touch screen 5, or manually control equipment such as wet curtains, rolling curtain machines, and fans through the touch screen 5 and control knobs 6.
[0039] Example 2:
[0040] Based on the above embodiment 1, in order to avoid the loss of the inspection board 9, the following settings are now implemented.
[0041] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the above embodiment, an anti-loss rope 14 is connected between the inspection plate 9 and the base 1. Both ends of the anti-loss rope 14 are provided with knots 15. The two ends of the anti-loss rope 14 are respectively connected to the inspection plate 9 and the base 1, and the two ends of the anti-loss rope 14 are tied to form knots, so that the anti-loss rope 14 is stably connected and not easy to fall off, thereby making it difficult to lose the inspection plate 9 after it is removed.
[0042] Example 3:
[0043] Based on the above embodiment 1, the following settings are made to facilitate opening the inspection plate 9.
[0044] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the above embodiment, a handle 13 is fixed above the outer surface of the inspection plate 9. In order to prevent the inspection plate 9 from being embedded in the inspection port 8 and difficult to remove, the handle is set to increase the force application point so that the staff can take out the inspection plate 9 through the handle.
[0045] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the staff installs the base 1 on the ground through the mounting holes 2 on both sides of the bottom of the base 1 and the expansion bolts. The expansion bolts can also be chemical anchors, anchor bolts, etc., and the installation position of the base 1 should correspond to the ground pipeline or underground pipeline. Then, the staff can install the control cabinet 3 on the top of the base 1 through ordinary bolts, and the wire hole at the bottom of the control cabinet 3 corresponds to the wire trough 7.
[0046] During the installation of underground pipelines, workers can open the inspection port 8 to facilitate the operation of cables passing through the underground conduits. This avoids the situation where the height of the base 1 is too high, preventing workers from accessing the cables in the conduit area during wiring and subsequent maintenance. Specifically, when passing new cables through the conduit, workers can contact the cables that have just emerged from the conduit through the inspection port 8, or pass the cables at the bottom of the control cabinet 3 into the conduit. After the cables are installed, workers place the inspection plate 9 into the inspection port 8 and lock it with the limit bolt 10. The inspection plate 9 is limited by the inspection port 8 in all directions, so the limit bolt 10 only needs to bear the forward force of the inspection plate 9, preventing the inspection plate 9 from falling forward.
[0047] When installing ground pipelines, workers can first connect the pipelines to the baffle 11, select a baffle 11 with a size similar to the pipeline, and then remove the baffle 11. The removal method is to cut or otherwise destroy the fixing strip 12 on the outer ring of the baffle 11, so that the baffle 11 loses its support and falls down, making it easier to insert the pipeline into the base 1 to complete the wiring. At this time, workers can also open the inspection plate 9 to facilitate the wiring. If the pipeline cannot be directly connected, workers can use two bend pipe joints and a vertical pipe to form a Z-shaped pipe to connect the base 1 and the pipeline.
[0048] After the wiring is installed, the temperature and humidity sensors in the automated greenhouse can transmit electrical signals to the control cabinet 3, and the control cabinet 3 can transmit control signals to equipment such as wet curtains, rolling curtain machines, and fans to control operating frequency or start / stop functions. Staff can also view the temperature and humidity information in the automated greenhouse through the touch screen 5, or manually control equipment such as wet curtains, rolling curtain machines, and fans through the touch screen 5 and control knob 6. The automated greenhouse temperature control device is existing technology in this field and is a well-known technical means, so its structure and working principle will not be described in detail.
[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
