Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting equipment technology, and in particular to a geothermal resource recovery greenhouse planting heating device. Background Technology
[0002] Maintaining a suitable temperature is one of the key factors for ensuring normal crop growth in the greenhouse industry. Currently, the commonly used heating methods in greenhouse cultivation mainly rely on traditional forms such as coal-fired, gas-fired, or electric heating. However, these heating methods have many drawbacks: on the one hand, they are highly dependent on traditional fossil fuels, and as energy shortages become increasingly prominent, heating costs continue to rise; on the other hand, the energy consumption process generates large amounts of pollutants such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, causing serious environmental pollution and contradicting the current green and environmentally friendly development concept.
[0003] Meanwhile, geothermal resources, as a clean and renewable energy source, have advantages such as abundant reserves, wide distribution, and stable reliability, and have broad application prospects in the field of energy utilization. However, at present, the application of geothermal resources in greenhouse heating is still in its initial stage, with problems such as low geothermal resource recovery efficiency, unstable heating temperature, complex equipment structure, and inconvenient maintenance, which seriously restrict the large-scale application of geothermal resources in greenhouse heating.

[0022] Example 1
[0023] Referring to the accompanying drawings and descriptions, this utility model provides a geothermal resource recovery greenhouse planting heating device, the structure of which includes a geothermal collection unit 1, a filter 2, a heat exchanger 3, a heat storage box 4, heat sinks 5, a temperature sensor B9, and a controller 8. The geothermal collection unit 1 includes a heat collection pipe 11, a return pipe 12, and a circulation pump A13. The heat collection pipe 11 is connected to the filter 2, and the circulation pump A13 is located between the heat collection pipe 11 and the filter 2. The filter 2 is connected to the heat exchanger 3 through a pipe, and the heat exchanger 3 is connected to the return pipe 12. The heat exchanger 3 is connected to the heat storage box 4 through a pipe, and the heat storage box 4 is connected to the water inlet of the heat sink 5 through a pipe and the circulation pump B6. The water outlet of the heat sink 5 is connected to the heat exchanger 3 through a pipe.
[0024] The heat storage tank 4 is connected to the heat exchange outlet of the heat exchanger 3 via a hot water pipe 44, on which a solenoid valve B441 is installed. The pipe between the heat storage tank 4 and the heat sink 5 is a heating pipe 46, on which a solenoid valve D461 and a temperature sensor A7 are installed. The solenoid valve D461 is located before the circulating pump B6. A water supply pipe 45 is installed on the top of the heat storage tank 4, on which a solenoid valve C451 is installed. A drain pipe 43 is installed at the bottom of the side wall of the heat storage tank 4, on which a solenoid valve A431 is installed. An electric heater 47 and a water level sensor 48 are installed inside the heat storage tank 4.
[0025] Temperature sensor A7, temperature sensor B9, circulating pump A13, circulating pump B6, solenoid valve A431, solenoid valve B441, solenoid valve C451, solenoid valve D461, electric heater 47, and water level sensor 48 are all connected to controller 8; temperature sensor B9 is installed inside the greenhouse.
[0026] Heat exchanger 3 is a plate heat exchanger 3; the heat storage box 4 contains the heat exchange medium, which is water;
[0027] The heat extraction pipe 11 and the return pipe 12 are installed in the geothermal heat extraction well;
[0028] The heat storage box 4 includes an inner liner 41 and an insulation layer 42. The inner liner 41 is made of stainless steel, and the insulation layer 42 is made of polyurethane foam.
[0029] There are 4 sets of heat sinks 5, which are reasonably distributed in the 100㎡ greenhouse.
[0030] Working principle:
[0031] Geothermal extraction and heat exchange process:
[0032] The heat extraction pipe 11 and return pipe 12 are buried in the geothermal well. After the circulation pump A13 is started, it drives the geothermal medium groundwater to flow out from the heat extraction pipe 11 and be transported to the filter 2 through the pipeline to filter out the mud, sand, impurities, etc. in the water to avoid clogging the heat exchanger 3 or the pipeline. The filtered geothermal medium enters the plate heat exchanger 3 and exchanges heat with the heat exchange medium water transported by the heat storage tank 4. After the heat of the geothermal medium is transferred to the heat exchange medium, the temperature decreases and it flows back to the geothermal well through the return pipe 12 to complete the geothermal cycle.
[0033] The heat exchange medium heated by the heat exchanger 3 flows into the heat storage tank 4 through the hot water pipe 44 (solenoid valve B441 is open) for storage. When the greenhouse needs heating, the controller 8 receives the signal from the temperature sensor B9 (if the greenhouse temperature is lower than the set threshold), controls the solenoid valve D461 to open, and the circulation pump B6 starts, which transports the high-temperature heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 4 to multiple sets of heat sinks 5 through the heating pipe 46. The heat sinks 5 release heat to the greenhouse to maintain the indoor temperature. The low-temperature heat exchange medium after heat dissipation flows back to the heat exchanger 3 through the pipe, is reheated, and enters the next cycle.
[0034] Water level control: The water level sensor 48 in the heat storage tank 4 monitors the liquid level in real time. If the liquid level is lower than the set value, the controller 8 opens the solenoid valve C451 to replenish water through the water supply pipe 45. If the heat storage tank 4 needs to be cleaned or repaired, the solenoid valve A431 is opened to drain water through the drain pipe 43.
[0035] Temperature compensation: If the geothermal resources are insufficient, such as the temperature of the heat exchange medium output by heat exchanger 3 being lower than the set temperature of heat storage box 4, temperature sensor A7 transmits a signal to controller 8, and controller 8 starts electric heater 47 to provide auxiliary heating to the medium in heat storage box 4 to ensure stable heating temperature.
[0036] The controller 8 adopts a PLC controller, which integrates the signals of temperature sensor A7, temperature sensor B9, and water level sensor 48, and controls the start and stop of circulation pump A13 and circulation pump B6, as well as the switching of solenoid valves A431, B441, C451, and D461, and the start and stop of electric heater, to achieve fully automated operation of the entire process.
