[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0018] The solar-powered Chlorella carbon fixation equipment includes a catalytic chamber, a solidifier, a water tank, and a solar panel. The catalytic chamber is located at the top, the solidifier is positioned between the catalytic chamber and the water tank, and the water tank is located at the bottom. The catalytic chamber contains several glass culture tubes for culturing Chlorella, which are connected vertically. The lower ends of the glass culture tubes are fixed to the bottom of the catalytic chamber. The bottom of the catalytic chamber has corresponding connecting holes for the glass culture tubes, which communicate with the solidifier. The solar panel is independently mounted beside the catalytic chamber and electrically connected to it. A partition is located at the top of the catalytic chamber, with several through holes that communicate with the tops of the glass culture tubes. Plant lights are located between the partition and the catalytic chamber, with one plant light corresponding to each glass culture tube. A rubber base is installed at the connecting hole at the bottom of the catalytic chamber. The bottom of the glass culture tube is mounted on the rubber base, which has an air inlet and a collection hole. The curing unit contains an air pump, a water pump, a solenoid valve, a water tank, and a cryogenic filter. The air inlet is connected to the air pump, and the collection hole is connected to both the solenoid valve and the water pump. The other end of the solenoid valve is connected to the cryogenic filter, and the other end of the water pump is connected to the water tank. A pipeline connects the water tank and the cryogenic filter. The curing unit also contains a controller, which is electrically connected to the air pump, water pump, solenoid valve, and plant lights. The controller is used to control the opening and closing of the air pump, water pump, solenoid valve, and plants.

[0019] The actual usage method is as follows:

[0020] First, open the top cover of the catalytic chamber, place the Chlorella powder into each glass culture tube, and then close the top cover. The entire catalytic chamber is made of transparent material. The top cover of the catalytic chamber is equipped with plant lights corresponding to the glass culture tubes. The purpose of the plant lights is to promote photosynthesis and ensure the rapid reproduction of Chlorella when there is no natural light (sunlight). The plant lights are powered by solar panels. When there is sufficient natural light, the plant lights are not needed.

[0021] During the propagation process, air pumps are introduced into each glass culture tube, mainly to supplement the carbon dioxide content and facilitate rapid propagation.

[0022] A water level sensor is also installed in the glass culture tube. When the water level in the culture glass tube is lower than the preset value, the water pump will start to replenish water from the water storage tank into the glass culture tube.

[0023] After the Chlorella rapidly multiplies, aquatic plants are placed in the glass culture tube to allow the Chlorella to separate and settle. Once settled, a solenoid valve is opened, allowing the settled Chlorella to enter a solidifier, which then cools and freezes the Chlorella. The condensate and excess water generated during the cooling and freezing process are returned to the water storage tank.

[0024] The aforementioned plant lights, air pumps, water pumps, solenoid valves, and curing devices are all powered by solar panels.

[0025] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
