A device for monitoring the growth environment of orchids

Abstract

This utility model discloses an orchid growth environment monitoring device, belonging to the field of orchid technology. It includes a base plate, a support column welded to the top surface of the base plate, and a monitoring device body welded to the top of the support column. A touch screen is installed on the front side of the monitoring device body. The protective plate prevents the touch screen from being damaged by rain, dust, scratches, or other physical damage, thus preventing blurring or screen breakage. This facilitates data reading and normal device use, improving practicality. When the environmental monitoring device is struck by lightning, the lightning rod will transmit the current through a conductor and then through a grounding post to the ground, preventing damage to the environmental monitoring device due to lightning strikes. This provides lightning protection, reduces equipment maintenance costs, and may also prevent data interruption, ensuring that critical growth data is not missed.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orchid technology, and in particular to an orchid growth environment monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Orchids, as highly ornamental plants, have extremely stringent requirements for parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and soil pH in their growing environment. Precise environmental monitoring is crucial for ensuring healthy orchid growth and improving cultivation efficiency. Currently, most orchid growth environment monitoring devices on the market integrate sensors, data processing modules, and display units, enabling real-time collection and display of environmental data to provide growers with decision-making support. However, existing monitoring devices still have many shortcomings.

[0003] Firstly, as a core component of human-computer interaction, the display screen is exposed to the external environment for a long time and is susceptible to physical damage such as rain, dust, and scratches, which can lead to blurred display or even screen damage, affecting data reading and normal device use.

[0004] Secondly, monitoring devices are usually deployed outdoors or in greenhouse environments. In thunderstorms, there is a lack of effective lightning protection measures. The instantaneous high voltage generated by lightning can easily break down the internal circuits, causing permanent damage to the sensors and data processing modules. This not only increases equipment maintenance costs but may also lead to interruption of monitoring data and miss the acquisition of critical growth data. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: it includes a base plate, a support column welded to the top surface of the base plate, a monitoring device body welded to the top of the support column, a touch screen installed on the front side of the monitoring device body, a protective plate for protecting the touch screen detachably connected to the front side of the monitoring device body, a top plate welded to the top surface of the monitoring device body, and a lightning protection component connected above the top plate.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The front side of the monitoring device body has T-shaped grooves on both the upper and lower sides. The rear side of the protective plate has T-shaped blocks fixed to the upper and lower sides by bolts. The two T-shaped blocks are slidably connected in the two T-shaped grooves.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model includes a base plate 1, a support column 2 welded to the top surface of the base plate 1, a monitoring device body 9 welded to the top of the support column 2, a touch screen display 19 mounted on the front side of the monitoring device body 9, a protective plate 11 detachably connected to the front side of the monitoring device body 9, the protective plate 11 being designed to prevent the touch screen display 19 from being damaged by rain, dust, scratches, or other physical damage, and a top plate 10 welded to the top surface of the monitoring device body 9, with a lightning protection component connected above the top plate 10 to prevent the environmental monitoring device from being damaged by lightning strikes.

[0030] T-slots 13 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the front side of the monitoring device body 9. T-blocks 4 are fixed to the upper and lower sides of the rear side of the protective plate 11 by bolts. The two T-blocks 4 are slidably connected in the two T-slots 13 respectively. The T-blocks 4 and T-slots 13 limit the movement of the protective plate 11. One end of the protective plate 11 is fixed to a connecting block 12 by bolts. A connecting block 2 14 is fixed to the outside of the monitoring device body 9 by bolts. A rod 17 is slidably connected through the connecting block 2 14. A fixing hole 18 is provided on the connecting block 12. One end of the rod 17 is inserted into the fixing hole 18. A pull block 15 is welded to the other end of the rod 17. The outside of the rod 17... A reset spring 16 is fitted, with its two ends welded to the side of the connecting block 14 and the side of the pull block 15, respectively. A through hole is provided on the connecting block 14, and the plug rod 17 is slidably connected in the through hole. The lightning protection component includes a mounting block 8 fixed to the top surface of the top plate 10 by bolts. A conductive block 6 is connected above the mounting block 8, and a lightning rod 7 is connected above the conductive block 6. A wire 5 is connected to one side of the conductive block 6, and a grounding post 3 is connected to the bottom end of the wire 5. Anti-slip texture is provided on the pull block 15 to increase the friction between the hand and the pull block 15 and ensure the stability of operation. The protective plate 11 is transparent to facilitate the viewing of the monitoring data on the touch screen 19.

[0031] Working principle: The protective plate 11 makes the touch screen 19 less susceptible to physical damage such as rain, dust, and scratches, preventing the touch screen 19 from becoming blurry or even damaged, which is beneficial for data reading and normal device use. When the touch screen 19 needs to be touched, pull the pull block 15 backward, which causes the pull block 15 to move the plug rod 17, so that the plug rod 17 moves out of the fixing hole 18 on the connecting block 12. Then the connecting block 12 can be pulled, which causes the connecting block 12 to move the protective plate 11, so that the protective plate 11 can be removed from the device, improving practicality.

[0032] When the grounding post 3 is inserted into the ground, the lightning rod 7 will use the wire 5 to transmit the current when the environmental monitoring device is struck by lightning during rainy days, and then transmit the current to the ground through the grounding post 3. This avoids damage to the environmental monitoring device due to lightning strikes, thus providing lightning protection for the environmental monitoring device, reducing equipment maintenance costs, and potentially preventing data interruption and missing key growth data collection.

[0033] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer for control. The detailed description of known functions and components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.

[0034] This utility model is merely a design of the external protective structure for existing monitoring devices on the market. The structural technology of the monitoring device itself is already very mature and has been widely used, so it will not be described in detail here. This application does not protect the specific structure of the monitoring device itself. Those skilled in the art can select the monitoring device itself based on practical experience and usage requirements.
