[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The energy-saving and emission-reduction device for the plant cultivation box provided by this utility model, through the design of the plant cultivation box body, exhaust fan, energy-saving components, and cooling water curtain, uses photovoltaic panels to convert solar energy into electrical energy to power the equipment, reducing dependence on the external power grid and reducing energy consumption. When in the planting bed inside the plant cultivation box, temperature and humidity sensors monitor the temperature and humidity inside the box, and transmit the monitored signals to the controller. Then, the controller adjusts the water output of the energy-saving components, and the water is delivered through the energy-saving components to wet and cool the cooling water curtain, so that the air flowing into the plant cultivation box from the outside is cooled by the wetted water. The cooling curtain creates cool, humid air, which cools the interior of the chamber. A fan then draws in the hot, humid air and expels it. The airflow passes through a metal filter to remove dust, while a sponge layer absorbs condensate. This condensate flows through obliquely shaped collection holes into a recovery tank. The mounting frame is easy to disassemble and maintain. Unevaporated water is collected at the water collection holes below the cooling curtain and flows through connecting oblique holes into the recovery tank, where it combines with the exhaust condensate. A second water pump then returns this condensate to the energy-saving components for recycling. This effectively reduces energy and water consumption, ensuring a suitable growing environment for plants.

[0015] 2. The energy-saving and emission-reduction device for the plant planting box provided by this utility model, through the design of a water storage tank, a first water pump, a flange heating rod, and a coil-type evaporator, controls the start and stop of the first water pump through a controller. The first water pump draws water from the water storage tank and flows into the cooling water curtain through the nozzles under the branch pipe. The flange heating rod can heat the water in the water storage tank. Then, the coil-type evaporator in the water storage tank and the compressor condenser unit form a refrigeration cycle, which can lower the water temperature. Thus, it can effectively regulate the temperature during use, so that it can change the temperature according to the plant growth environment in the box, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving energy saving effect.

[0034] The energy-saving and emission-reduction device for the plant planting box provided in this embodiment, such as... Figures 1-6As shown, the device includes: a plant cultivation box 1; a planting bed 101 is provided on the lower surface of the inner wall of the plant cultivation box 1; a first through hole is provided on one side surface of the plant cultivation box 1, and an exhaust fan 102 is installed in the first through hole; an installation frame 4 is detachably installed on one side of the plant cultivation box 1, and a metal filter 402 is provided in the installation frame 4, located at one end of the exhaust fan 102; a second through hole is provided on one end of the upper surface of the installation frame 4; an energy-saving component 3 is provided on one end of the plant cultivation box 1; and a cooling water curtain 6 is installed on the other side of the plant cultivation box 1. Multiple photovoltaic panels 2 are installed on the upper surface of the plant cultivation box 1; a temperature sensor 201 and a humidity sensor 202 are installed on one side of the inner wall of the plant cultivation box 1; and a controller 203 is installed on the other side of the inner wall of the plant cultivation box 1. The controller 203 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 201 and the humidity sensor 202, and the controller 203 is connected to the exhaust fan 102 through a speed control module. The mounting frame 4 has connecting plates 401 on both sides. The other end of the connecting plate 401 is attached to one end of the surface of the plant planting box 1 and fixed by plug bolts. The lower surface of the mounting frame 4 has a recycling box 5. One end of the recycling box 5 is connected to a water suction pipe 503. The other end of the water suction pipe 503 is connected to a second water pump 502. The outlet of the second water pump 502 is connected to a return water pipe 501. The other end of the return water pipe 501 is connected to one end of the energy-saving component 3. One end of the metal filter screen 402 has a sponge layer 404. The lower surface of the inner wall of the mounting frame 4 has two water collection inclined holes 403. The upper surface of the recycling box 5 has two first holes, and the two first holes are attached to the water collection inclined holes 403. The plant planting box 1 has a water collection hole 601 on the lower surface of its inner wall at the lower end of the cooling water curtain 6. The plant planting box 1 has a connecting oblique hole 602 inside, and the other end of the connecting oblique hole 602 extends to the outside of the plant planting box 1. A sealing strip 103 is bonded to the outer surface of the through end. The water collection hole 601 and the connecting oblique hole 602 are connected. The plant planting box 1, the connecting oblique hole 602, and the recycling box 5 have a second hole on one side that is aligned with the connecting oblique hole 602.

[0035] Through the design of the plant cultivation box 1, exhaust fan 102, energy-saving component 3, and cooling water curtain 6, solar energy is converted into electricity by photovoltaic panel 2 to provide power to the equipment, reducing dependence on the external power grid and reducing energy consumption. In the planting bed 101 inside the plant cultivation box 1, temperature sensor 201 and humidity sensor 202 monitor the temperature and humidity inside the box, transmitting the monitored signals to controller 203. Controller 203 then adjusts the water output of energy-saving component 3, which delivers water to wet and cool the cooling water curtain 6. This causes the air flowing into the plant cultivation box 1 from the outside to pass through the wetted cooling water curtain 6, forming humid and cool air, thus cooling the box. The internal cooling system is activated by a fan 102, which extracts the hot and humid air from the chamber and then expels it. The airflow passes through a metal filter 402 to filter dust, while a sponge layer 404 absorbs condensate from the airflow. The condensate flows into a recovery box 5 through a water collection hole 403. The mounting frame 4 is easy to disassemble and reassemble for future maintenance. The water collection hole 601 below the cooling water curtain 6 collects the unevaporated water, which flows into the recovery box 5 through a connecting hole 602 and merges with the exhaust condensate. The second water pump 502 then sends the water back to the energy-saving component 3 for recycling, which can effectively reduce energy consumption and water consumption, thereby ensuring that the plant can be kept in a suitable environment.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The energy-saving and emission-reduction device for the plant planting box provided in this embodiment, such as... Figures 2-3 As shown, the energy-saving component 3 includes a water storage tank 301, which is located at one end of the plant planting box 1. The other end of the return water pipe 501 is connected to the water storage tank 301. A first water pump 306 is provided on the upper surface of the water storage tank 301. The inlet of the first water pump 306 is connected to a water suction pipe 308. The other end of the water suction pipe 308 passes through the water storage tank 301 and is located inside. The outlet of the first water pump 306 is connected to a water delivery pipe 307. One end of the water delivery pipe 307 is connected to a branch pipe 310. The branch pipe 310 is located at the upper end of the cooling water curtain 6. Multiple nozzles 311 are connected to the lower surface of the branch pipe 310. The controller 203 is connected to the first water pump 306 through a frequency converter and is used to adjust the water supply of the water curtain according to the temperature and humidity data. The upper surface of the water storage tank 301 has a water inlet 303 and a mounting hole 304 at one end. A flange heating rod 305 is connected to the surface of the mounting hole 304 via a flange. The heating end of the flange heating rod 305 is located inside the water storage tank 301. A coil-type evaporator 309 is installed inside the water storage tank 301. A compressor condenser unit 302 is installed at one end of the water storage tank 301. The refrigerant inlet and outlet of the coil-type evaporator 309 are connected to the circulation loop of the compressor condenser unit 302 via brazed copper pipes. The temperature sensor 201 and humidity sensor 202 are model PT1000 and SHT35, respectively. The controller 203 is a Siemens S7-1200 PLC.

[0038] Through the design of the water storage tank 301, the first water pump 306, the flange heating rod 305, and the coil evaporator 309, the controller 203 controls the start and stop of the first water pump 306, so that the first water pump 306 draws water from the water storage tank 301 and flows into the cooling water curtain 6 through the nozzle 311 under the branch pipe 310. The flange heating rod 305 can heat the water temperature in the water storage tank 301. Then, the coil evaporator 309 in the water storage tank 301 and the compressor condenser unit 302 form a refrigeration cycle, which can lower the water temperature. Thus, during use, the temperature can be effectively regulated, so that it can change the temperature according to the plant growth environment in the box, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving energy saving effect.

[0039] In summary, the energy-saving and emission-reduction device for the plant planting box provided in this embodiment has the following advantages: energy consumption can be effectively reduced through the energy-saving component 3, and only the exhaust fan 102 and the cooling water curtain 6 require a portion of the electrical energy. Moreover, water can be effectively recycled, and at the same time, it can better promote plant growth, reduce water consumption, and enable the airflow to reach the position required by the plants, thereby improving the suitable environment for plant growth.

[0040] In use, the photovoltaic panel 2 converts solar energy into electrical energy to power the equipment, reducing dependence on the external power grid and lowering energy consumption. Inside the plant cultivation box 1, in the planting bed 101, temperature and humidity sensors 201 and 202 monitor the temperature and humidity inside the box, transmitting the monitored data to the controller 203. The controller 203 then adjusts the water output of the first water pump 306, which delivers water to wet and cool the cooling water curtain 6. This causes the air flowing into the plant cultivation box 1 from the outside to pass through the wetted cooling water curtain 6, forming humid and cool air. This process cools the interior of the chamber. Then, the exhaust fan 102 extracts the hot and humid air from the chamber and discharges it. The airflow passes through the metal filter 402 to filter dust, while the sponge layer 404 absorbs condensate from the airflow. The condensate flows into the recovery box 5 through the water collection inclined hole 403. The mounting frame 4 is easy to disassemble and install for later maintenance. Then, the water collection hole 601 below the cooling water curtain 6 collects the unevaporated water and flows into the recovery box 5 through the connecting inclined hole 602. It is then combined with the exhaust condensate and sent back to the energy-saving component 3 for recycling by the second water pump 502.

[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
