Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of archaeological site environmental regulation technology, specifically to a multifunctional integrated device for archaeological site environmental regulation. Background Technology
[0002] During the excavation of the site, the originally closed and relatively stable burial environment was disrupted, exposing the site and unearthed artifacts to a new natural and man-made environment. This drastic change in microenvironmental factors makes the site highly susceptible to a series of health problems. Before excavation, the site was underground for a long time, and the relatively constant influence of factors such as soil, moisture, and temperature created a balanced system adapted to the materials of the artifacts. However, during excavation, the excavation activities and human intervention removed the covering soil, lost the shielding conditions, increased air circulation, direct sunlight, and significantly amplified temperature and humidity fluctuations, causing a sudden change in the site's microenvironment. If timely and effective environmental control and protection measures are lacking during and after excavation, health problems often appear and develop rapidly. For example, changes in groundwater levels or surface moisture evaporation can easily cause the migration and crystallization of soluble salts in the soil, leading to salinization and surface weathering. Decreased or fluctuating air humidity can accelerate soil cracking or shrinkage. In poorly ventilated, high-humidity environments, fungi, algae, mosses, and other microorganisms can proliferate, eroding the surface of the site and unearthed artifacts, causing pigment deposition and even structural damage. Furthermore, if the site is exposed to outdoor climate conditions for extended periods, external factors such as atmospheric pollutant deposition, acid rain erosion, and dust adhesion will further accelerate the deterioration of the site's surface. Since most of these damages are irreversible, failure to implement environmental control measures during or after excavation will severely impact the preservation of the site and its unearthed artifacts, potentially causing irreparable loss.
[0003] Currently, environmental regulation at archaeological sites typically involves methods such as temperature and humidity control, light management, air quality control, and microbial control. However, existing devices have several shortcomings: They lack system integration; most existing environmental control devices are single-function modules with independent structural layouts, lacking a unified integrated design and coordination mechanism. This results in a large overall system size, cumbersome installation, and significant space occupation, hindering rapid deployment and efficient operation at the excavation site. Their control capabilities are limited; most devices have relatively simple functions, possessing only basic sunshade, rain protection, or static temperature control capabilities, lacking the ability to dynamically regulate key environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, ventilation, and light. Their response to environmental changes is sluggish, making it difficult to adapt to the constantly changing climate and site conditions during excavation. Finally, the overall protection system is weak, making precise and stable control difficult. Currently, there is a lack of a comprehensive microenvironment control system with sustainable operation capabilities, making it difficult to establish an effective environmental barrier in the early stages of excavation, thus affecting the preservation of the archaeological site. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a multifunctional integrated device for regulating the environment of archaeological sites, in order to solve the technical problems in the prior art where the environmental regulation devices for archaeological sites occupy a large space and lack integration methods, thus making it impossible to effectively protect the site during and after excavation.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the multifunctional integrated device for regulating the environment of archaeological sites provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A multifunctional integrated device for regulating the environment of a historical site includes a supporting truss with a covering structure for covering the site. The covering structure has a certain tilt angle and an upper surface with a glass cover made of infrared electrochromic glass. Mechanically adjustable louvers are arranged on the lower side of the infrared electrochromic glass. The covering structure also includes a spray system and an air outlet system located below the mechanically adjustable louvers, as well as a glass observation system on the side.
[0007] Furthermore, the covering structure includes multiple supporting trusses arranged at intervals along the length of the site. Each supporting truss has multiple vertical pressure-resistant connecting rods on its upper side. Infrared electrochromic glass and mechanically adjustable louvers located below the infrared electrochromic glass are laid on the vertical pressure-resistant connecting rods.
[0008] Furthermore, the vertical pressure-resistant connecting rod is connected to the infrared electrochromic glass by a point-support bracket.
[0009] Furthermore, the mechanically adjustable louvers are controlled by hydraulic cylinders, allowing the louver angle to be adjusted according to the sun's position.
[0010] Furthermore, the air supply system includes a main ventilation duct, which is welded and fixed to the supporting truss. Each main ventilation duct is arranged in parallel with the supporting truss. The main ventilation duct is connected to a temperature and humidity control system, which can supply air according to the environmental conditions of the site area.
[0011] Furthermore, air supply ducts are evenly distributed between any two adjacent main ventilation ducts to ensure that air enters from one point and all ventilation ducts can be ventilated.
[0012] Furthermore, air outlets are installed at the bottom of the air supply ducts and mechanically adjustable louvers to achieve uniform air supply to the top of the site area.
[0013] Furthermore, the spray system includes a water supply pipe located on the upper part of the support truss, and a plurality of spray nozzles extending along the length of the water supply pipe. The water supply pipe is connected to a delivery pump, which can control the size of the water mist from the spray nozzles.
[0014] Furthermore, the side glass observation system is connected to the inclined column via a point-supported bracket, with multiple ventilation openings arranged at different locations. The ventilation openings are equipped with adjustable louvers, which can be opened or closed according to the environmental conditions of the site area, passively adjusting the site environment.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the multifunctional integrated device for regulating the environment of archaeological sites provided by this utility model are:
[0016] 1) The mechanical control louvers, sprinkler system, air supply system and glass observation system are integrated and arranged around the glass cover, which greatly avoids the problem of large space occupation and low installation efficiency of the environmental control device of the entire site due to the scattered arrangement of various structures.
[0017] 2) The entire system is reasonable and effective. Through the coordinated operation of passive ventilation, active air supply and humidification system and shading system, it effectively realizes the protection and display functions during and after the excavation of the site.
[0018] The above-mentioned design effectively solves the technical problems in existing technologies, such as the large space occupied by environmental regulation devices for archaeological sites and the lack of integration methods, which makes it impossible to effectively protect archaeological sites during and after excavation.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0027] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.
[0028] An embodiment of the multifunctional integrated device for regulating the environment of archaeological sites provided by this utility model:
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a multifunctional integrated device for regulating the environment of a historical site includes a supporting truss 5. The supporting truss 5 has a covering structure for covering the site area 12. The covering structure has a certain tilt angle of 8°, which can effectively reduce the influence of southerly radiation. Simultaneously, it utilizes the height difference inside the cover to create thermal pressure ventilation. The upper surface of the covering structure has a glass cover made of infrared electrochromic glass 10. Mechanically adjustable louvers 8 are arranged below the infrared electrochromic glass 10. The covering structure also includes a sprinkler system and an air outlet system located below the mechanically adjustable louvers 8.
[0030] It also includes a side glass observation system, with an observation window 2 on the higher side, a first ventilation opening 1 above the glass observation window 2, a second ventilation opening 3 below it, and a third ventilation opening 11 on the lower side.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the covering structure includes multiple supporting trusses 5 spaced apart along the length of the site 12. Each supporting truss 5 has multiple vertical pressure-resistant connecting rods 13 on its upper side. The infrared electrochromic glass 10 and mechanically adjustable louvers 8 located below the infrared electrochromic glass 10 are laid on the vertical pressure-resistant connecting rods 13. The mechanically adjustable louvers 8 are controlled by hydraulic cylinders 16 and can adjust their angle according to the sun's position.
[0032] Infrared electrochromic glass 10 can dynamically adjust the transmittance of infrared light according to the environment of the archaeological site. In summer, it can reduce the amount of infrared light entering the site area, thus reducing air conditioning energy consumption; in winter, it allows more infrared light to pass through, increasing indoor temperature and reducing heating costs. Compared with traditional static shading devices, infrared electrochromic glass 10 can achieve intelligent adjustment, reducing building energy consumption by 20%-30% throughout the year.
[0033] In this embodiment, the vertical pressure-resistant connecting rod 13 is connected to the infrared electrochromic glass 10 by a point-support bracket 15. The point-support bracket 5 has four support points. In other embodiments, the number of support points of the point-support bracket 5 can also be adjusted to two or three.
[0034] In this embodiment, the air supply system includes a main ventilation duct 9, which is welded and fixed to the support truss 5. Each main ventilation duct is arranged in parallel with the support truss 5. The main ventilation duct 9 is connected to the temperature and humidity control system and can supply air according to the environmental conditions of the site area.
[0035] Air supply pipes 7 are evenly arranged between any two adjacent main ventilation pipes 9, and air supply outlets 14 are set at the bottom of the air supply pipes 7, which can achieve uniform air supply to the top of the site area 12.
[0036] Regarding the sprinkler system: The sprinkler system includes a water supply pipe 6 located on the upper part of the supporting truss 5, and multiple sprinkler nozzles 4 extending along the length of the water supply pipe 6. The water supply pipe is connected to a delivery pump, which can control the water mist size of the sprinkler nozzles 4.
[0037] Finally, the side glass observation system is connected to the inclined column 17 via a point-supported bracket, and adjustable louvers are provided through the first ventilation port 1, the second ventilation port 3 and the third ventilation port 11, which can be opened or closed according to the environmental conditions of the site area.
[0038] The working principle of the multifunctional integrated device for environmental regulation of archaeological sites provided by this utility model is as follows: Mechanically adjustable louvers 3, a sprinkler system, an air outlet system, and a side-mounted glass observation system are integrated and arranged around the tilted glass dome. This design occupies little space, has high installation efficiency, and effectively protects and displays the archaeological site. The side-mounted glass observation system allows visitors and conservation personnel to observe the site. Simultaneously, by opening and closing different ventilation openings, natural ventilation of the site area is organized to effectively regulate the environment: opening the first ventilation opening 1 and the third ventilation opening 11, and closing the second ventilation opening 3, enhances thermal pressure ventilation by adjusting the tilt angle of the glass dome, allowing air to enter through the third ventilation opening 11 and exit through the first ventilation opening 1; opening the first ventilation opening 1 and the second ventilation opening 3, and closing the third ventilation opening 11, allows air to enter from the lower side and exit from the upper side, thus removing the heat absorbed by the glass observation window 2. The infrared electrochromic glass 10 and the mechanically adjustable louvers 8 at the top effectively block the impact of solar radiation on the archaeological site. If the outdoor climate is harsh and natural ventilation and shading cannot meet the environmental indicators required for archaeological site protection, the air outlet system can adjust the temperature and humidity of the supplied air according to the site's protection parameters. To prevent cracking, weathering, and other damage caused by soil-air heat and moisture transfer after excavation, a sprinkler system was installed to replenish the site area with water by controlling the size of the water mist. The entire system is rationally designed and effective, and its integrated design effectively fulfills the functions of protection and display during and after the excavation of the site.
