Detailed Implementation
[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] See Figures 1-5 As shown, a photovoltaic-thermal synergistic water circulation heat storage system for a plateau greenhouse includes: a base 1, a sunken trough 101 with a central opening at the top of the base 1, a hot water storage tank 102 located in the center of the sunken trough 101, an insulation wall panel 2 fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the sunken trough 101, an insulation sloping roof 3 fixedly connected to the top of the insulation wall panel 2, a light-transmitting frame 4 between the insulation sloping roof 3 and the front end of the sunken trough 101, a photovoltaic panel 7 fixedly installed on the top of the insulation sloping roof 3, a heat recovery component located on the back of the photovoltaic panel 7, and several water storage bags 18 evenly fixedly installed at the front end of the insulation wall panel 2. The heat recovered by the heat recovery component is stored in the water in the several water storage bags 18. When the temperature is lower than a set threshold at night, the hot water in the water storage bags 18 is injected into the hot water storage tank 102.
[0025] In this embodiment, both the insulation wall panel 2 and the insulation sloping roof 3 are filled with expanded polystyrene material to ensure the insulation effect of the insulation wall panel 2 and the insulation sloping roof 3.
[0026] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting frame 4 includes: inclined support frames and horizontal frames. Several inclined support frames and horizontal frames are provided. Several inclined support frames are arranged horizontally at equal intervals between the heat-insulating inclined roof 3 and the front end of the sinkhole 101. Several horizontal frames are evenly arranged between two adjacent inclined support frames. The horizontal frames can ensure the stability of several inclined support frames.
[0027] In this embodiment, it also includes: a thermal insulation blanket 5, one end of which is fixedly connected to the lower front end of the thermal insulation sloping roof 3, and the other end is a movable end. During the day, the thermal insulation blanket 5 is rolled up to the top of the light-transmitting frame 4. At night, the thermal insulation blanket 5 is lowered and completely covers the outer end face of the light-transmitting frame 4. The thermal insulation blanket 5 is made of cotton, and the side of the thermal insulation blanket 5 that is in contact with the light-transmitting frame 4 is also provided with a heat insulation film.
[0028] In this embodiment, two side walls (not shown in the figure) are respectively provided on the left and right ends of the base 1. The two side walls completely cover the left and right ends of the canopy formed by the base 1, the insulation wall panel 2, the insulation sloping roof 3 and the light-transmitting frame 4. The interior of the two side walls is also filled with expanded polystyrene material.
[0029] In this embodiment, it also includes: a photovoltaic panel bracket 6, and a photovoltaic panel 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the insulated sloping roof 3 through the photovoltaic panel bracket 6. The photovoltaic panel 7 is set from back to front and downward.
[0030] In this embodiment, the heat recovery assembly includes: heat-conducting pipes 8, branch pipe 10, collecting pipe 11, connecting pipe 12, branch pipe 2 13, collecting pipe 2 14, branch pipe 3 19, collecting pipe 3 20, branch pipe 4 21, collecting pipe 4 22, tee 23, connecting pipe 3 24, circulation pump 26, and one-way valve 27. Several heat-conducting pipes 8 are provided, and these heat-conducting pipes 8 are evenly and fixedly installed on the back of the photovoltaic panel 7. Branch pipe 10 and branch pipe 2 13 are respectively provided at the rear and front ends of the heat-conducting pipes 8, and the several branch pipes 10 are all connected. A manifold 11 and several branch pipes 2 13 are connected to a manifold 2 14. One end of a connecting pipe 12 is connected to the middle of manifold 11. Branch pipes 3 19 and 4 21 are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the water storage bag 18. Several branch pipes 3 19 are connected to a manifold 3 20, and several branch pipes 4 21 are connected to a manifold 4 22. The other end of connecting pipe 12 is connected to the middle of manifold 3 20. The left end of manifold 4 22 is connected to the right end of a tee 23, and the left end of tee 23 is connected to a connecting pipe 3 24. 24 is connected to the left end of the manifold 214. A circulation pump 26 and a one-way valve 27 are respectively installed on the connecting pipe 3 24. The heat generated by the photovoltaic panel 7 during daytime operation is conducted to the water in the heat pipes 8. The circulation pump 26 circulates the water, and the water circulation process is as follows: water flows from the manifold 214 through several branch pipes 213 into several heat pipes 8. After being heated, the water in the heat pipes 8 flows through several branch pipes 10 into the manifold 11, and then through the connecting pipe 12, the manifold 3 20, and several branch pipes 319. The water enters several water storage bags 18. Since the photovoltaic panel 7 works continuously during the day, it continuously generates heat. The water entering the water storage bags 18 will lose heat. Therefore, during the day, driven by the circulation pump 26, the water in the several water storage bags 18 enters the collection pipe 22 through several branch pipes 4 21, and flows back to the collection pipe 2 14 through the connecting pipe 3 24 via the tee 23, thereby ensuring that the water in the water storage bags 18 has sufficient heat. The one-way valve 2 27 can prevent the cooled hot water from flowing back in the connecting pipe 3 24.
[0031] In this embodiment, the heat pipe 8 is wrapped with an insulation sleeve 9, which is made of expanded polystyrene to prevent the heat pipe 8 from losing heat too quickly.
[0032] In this embodiment, the system also includes a drain pipe 25 and a solenoid valve 28. One end of the drain pipe 25 is connected to the lower end of the tee 23, and the other end of the drain pipe 25 extends to the lower left side of the hot water storage tank 102. The drain pipe 25 is equipped with a solenoid valve 28. When the temperature inside the greenhouse is lower than the set threshold at night, the solenoid valve 28 is opened, and the water in several water storage bags 18 will be injected into the hot water storage tank 102 under the action of gravity, thereby avoiding excessive temperature difference inside the greenhouse.
[0033] In this embodiment, it also includes: a second connecting pipe 15, a water pump 16, and a first check valve 17. One end of the second connecting pipe 15 is connected to the right end of the second collecting pipe 14, and the other end of the second connecting pipe 15 is connected to the output port of the water pump 16. The water pump 16 is placed at the bottom right side of the hot water storage tank 102. The first check valve 17 is provided on the second connecting pipe 15. The water pump 16 and the second connecting pipe 15 can replenish the water in the circulating water circuit in a timely manner after all the hot water in the several water storage bags 18 is injected into the hot water storage tank. The first check valve 17 can prevent water backflow.
[0034] The system is also equipped with a PLC controller and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor detects the temperature inside the greenhouse in real time and feeds it back to the PLC controller, which controls the operation of the electrical components of the entire system.
[0035] Working principle: During the day, the insulation blanket 5 is rolled up to the top of the light-transmitting frame 4. At this time, sunlight shines through the light-transmitting frame 4 onto the crops inside the greenhouse. At the same time, the sunlight also shines on the water in the hot water storage tank, where the water stores some heat. The photovoltaic panel 7 generates electricity. By installing a heat recovery component on the back of the photovoltaic panel 7, the heat generated by the photovoltaic panel 7 during the day is conducted to the water in the heat-conducting pipe 8. The circulation pump 26 realizes water circulation. The water circulation process is as follows: Water enters several heat-conducting pipes 8 through several branch pipes 13 from the collection pipe 2 14. After being heated, the water in the heat-conducting pipes 8 enters the collection pipe 11 through several branch pipes 10, and then through the connecting pipe 1 12, the collection pipe 20, and several branch pipes. Water from the photovoltaic panels 7 (19) enters several water storage bags 18. Since the photovoltaic panels 7 operate continuously during the day, generating heat, the water in the storage bags 18 loses heat. Therefore, during the day, driven by the circulating pump 26, the water from the storage bags 18 flows through several branch pipes 21 into the collection pipe 22, and then through the tee 23 back to the collection pipe 24 via the connecting pipe 24, ensuring sufficient heat for the water in the storage bags 18. At night, when the temperature is below a set threshold, the solenoid valve 28 is opened, and the water from the storage bags 18 is injected into the hot water storage tank 102 under gravity, thus preventing excessive temperature differences within the greenhouse. The entire system can extend the growth cycle of crops to a certain extent, ensuring crop yield.
