Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature monitoring technology, specifically to an intelligent temperature monitoring device for greenhouses. Background Technology

[0002] A greenhouse is a facility used for growing crops. It creates a closed or semi-closed environment through covering materials (such as plastic film or glass) to regulate internal temperature, humidity, and other conditions, providing a suitable microclimate for plant growth. It typically includes various types such as planting greenhouses and livestock greenhouses, and is equipped with systems for heating, insulation, cooling, ventilation, and irrigation. Temperature monitoring is essential inside greenhouses because it is a key factor affecting crop growth. Suitable temperatures promote photosynthesis, seed germination, and nutrient accumulation, while excessively high or low temperatures can lead to stunted growth, increased disease, or reduced yields. Real-time temperature monitoring allows for the timely activation of heating, ventilation, or shading equipment, enabling precise control and optimizing crop yield and quality. Furthermore, temperature data supports long-term management decisions, helping to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change.

[0003] However, existing intelligent temperature monitoring devices for greenhouses are generally installed in fixed locations inside the greenhouse, such as the center, thus failing to reflect spatial temperature differences within the greenhouse. Furthermore, these devices are typically exposed inside the greenhouse, making them susceptible to direct sunlight, which can distort the readings. Additionally, once crops are fully mature, harvesting or digging is necessary. While this process eliminates the need for temperature monitoring, the dust generated during harvesting or digging will adhere to the exposed intelligent temperature monitoring device, affecting its subsequent use and hindering practical application.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide an intelligent temperature monitoring device for greenhouses to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an intelligent temperature monitoring device for greenhouses, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section regarding the fixed installation location, susceptibility to sunlight interference, and easy dust accumulation on the surface of existing intelligent temperature monitoring devices.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent temperature monitoring device for greenhouses, comprising a hanging rail and a U-shaped base. A traveling component is installed on the top of the U-shaped base, allowing the U-shaped base to move along the outside of the hanging rail via the traveling component. A winch is fixedly installed on the outside of the U-shaped base, with a boom suspended from the bottom of the winch. A monitoring box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the boom, and a temperature sensor is fixedly installed inside the monitoring box. A notch is provided on the outside of the monitoring box, and baffles are rotatably connected inside each notch. A driving component is installed on the top of the monitoring box, used to rotate the baffles.

[0007] The above technical solution utilizes a hanging cabinet in conjunction with a traveling assembly and a winch to allow the temperature sensor to change its actual temperature monitoring position inside the greenhouse. This enables the monitoring of temperatures at different spatial locations, reflecting spatial temperature differences within the greenhouse. Simultaneously, a drive assembly rotates the baffle on the outside of the monitoring box, opening and closing it. This protects the temperature sensor from dust accumulation when not in use, preventing dust from affecting its performance. Furthermore, the unfolded baffle blocks direct sunlight from the temperature sensor, reducing the impact of sunlight on temperature monitoring results and facilitating practical applications.

[0008] Preferably, the walking assembly includes a track groove, walking wheels, and a motor. The track groove is formed on both sides of the hanging rail. The walking wheels are rotatably connected to the inside of the U-shaped seat. Each walking wheel is located inside its corresponding track groove and is in rolling connection with the track groove. The motor is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped seat. The output shaft of the motor extends into the inside of the U-shaped seat and is fixedly connected to one of the walking wheels.

[0009] The above technical solution utilizes the operation of the motor to drive one of the traveling wheels to rotate, thereby using the friction between the traveling wheel and the track groove to move the U-shaped seat on the hanging rail.

[0010] Preferably, the drive assembly includes an electric telescopic rod, a lifting block, a connecting rod, and an L-shaped plate. The electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the top of the monitoring box, and the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod extends into the interior of the monitoring box. The lifting block is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod. The connecting rod is equidistantly rotatably connected to the outside of the lifting block. The L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the inside of the baffle. The end of the connecting rod away from the lifting block is rotatably connected to the corresponding L-shaped plate.

[0011] The above technical solution utilizes the operation of an electric telescopic rod to move the lifting block up and down inside the monitoring box. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the connecting rod, it can rotate the baffle inside the notch, thereby opening and closing the notch. When the baffle rotates and opens, it can block sunlight directly shining on the temperature sensor, thus reducing the impact of direct sunlight on the temperature monitoring results to a certain extent, which is beneficial for practical applications.

[0012] Preferably, a cover plate is installed at one end of the hanging rail by screws.

[0013] The above technical solution allows for the sealing of one end of the overhead rail using a cover plate, while also facilitating the installation of the traveling wheels inside the rail groove when the cover plate is open.

[0014] Preferably, a fixing plate is installed at the end of the hanging rail away from the cover plate and on the outer side of the cover plate, and a fixing hole is provided on the top of the fixing plate.

[0015] By utilizing the above technical solution and the function of the fixing plate and fixing holes, the hanging rail can be installed more effectively inside the greenhouse.

[0016] Preferably, a wireless transceiver is fixedly installed on the outside of the U-shaped base. The wireless transceiver is connected to a remote intelligent terminal via a wireless network. A controller is fixedly installed on the outside of the winch. The winch, temperature sensor, motor, and electric telescopic rod are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0017] The above technical solution utilizes a wireless transceiver to send temperature monitoring data and control commands to a remote intelligent terminal, providing necessary data transmission for the operation of the intelligent greenhouse. Simultaneously, a controller enables the overall operation of the equipment.

[0018] This utility model provides an intelligent temperature monitoring device for greenhouses, which has the following beneficial effects: The intelligent temperature monitoring equipment used in this greenhouse utilizes a hanging cabinet in conjunction with a traveling assembly and a winch. This allows the temperature sensor to change its actual temperature monitoring position inside the greenhouse, enabling the monitoring of temperatures at different spatial locations and reflecting spatial temperature differences within the greenhouse. Simultaneously, a drive assembly rotates the outer baffle of the monitoring box, opening and closing it. This protects the temperature sensor from dust accumulation when not in use, preventing it from affecting subsequent performance. Furthermore, the unfolded baffle also blocks direct sunlight from the temperature sensor, reducing the impact of direct sunlight on temperature monitoring results and facilitating practical application.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides an intelligent temperature monitoring device for greenhouses, including a hanging rail 1 and a U-shaped base 2. A traveling assembly is provided on the top of the U-shaped base 2, allowing the U-shaped base 2 to move outside the hanging rail 1. The traveling assembly includes a track groove 9, traveling wheels 10, and a motor 11. The track groove 9 is located on both sides of the hanging rail 1, and the traveling wheels 10 are rotatably connected to the inside of the U-shaped base 2, each traveling wheel 10 located inside its corresponding track groove 9 and rollingly connected to it. The motor 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped base 2, and its output shaft extends into the inside of the U-shaped base 2 and is fixedly connected to one of the traveling wheels 10. The motor 11 drives one of the traveling wheels 10 to rotate, thereby using the friction between the traveling wheel 10 and the track groove 9 to move the U-shaped base 2 on the hanging rail 1. A cover plate 16 is screwed onto one end of the hanging rail 1, allowing one end of the hanging rail 1 to be closed. When the cover plate 16 is open, it facilitates the installation of the traveling wheels 10 inside the track groove 9. Fixing plates 17 are installed on both the end of the hanging rail 1 away from the cover plate 16 and the outer side of the cover plate 16. Fixing holes are opened on the top of the fixing plates 17. By using the fixing plates 17 and the fixing holes, the hanging rail 1 can be better installed inside the greenhouse.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In one aspect of this embodiment, a winch 3 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the U-shaped base 2. A boom 4 is suspended from the bottom of the winch 3, and a monitoring box 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the boom 4. The winch 3 can move the monitoring box 5 up and down. A temperature sensor 6, model DS18B20, is fixedly installed inside the monitoring box 5. When the winch 3 moves the monitoring box 5 up and down, the height of the temperature sensor 6 can be adjusted, facilitating temperature monitoring at different heights. A notch 7 is provided on the outer side of the monitoring box 5, and a baffle 8 is rotatably connected inside each notch 7. The notch 7 allows airflow between the inside of the monitoring box 5 and the outside, facilitating temperature monitoring inside the greenhouse. Simultaneously, the baffle 8 can seal the notch 7, protecting the temperature sensor 6 when not in use and preventing dust from adhering to its surface, thus affecting its performance.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, a drive assembly is provided on the top of the monitoring box 5. The drive assembly is used to drive the baffle 8 to rotate. The drive assembly includes an electric telescopic rod 12, a lifting block 13, a connecting rod 14, and an L-shaped plate 15. The electric telescopic rod 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the monitoring box 5, and the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 12 extends into the interior of the monitoring box 5. The lifting block 13 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 12. By operating the electric telescopic rod 12, the lifting block 13 can be driven to move up and down inside the monitoring box 5. The connecting rod 14 is equidistantly rotatably connected to the outside of the lifting block 13, and the L-shaped plate 15 is fixedly installed on the inside of the baffle 8. The end of the connecting rod 14 away from the lifting block 13 is rotatably connected to the corresponding L-shaped plate 15. By using the up and down movement of the lifting block 13, in conjunction with the action of the connecting rod 14, the baffle 8 can be driven to rotate inside the notch 7, thereby achieving the purpose of opening and closing the notch 7. When the baffle 8 is rotated open, it can block the sunlight shining directly on the temperature sensor 6, thereby reducing the impact of direct sunlight on the temperature monitoring results to a certain extent, which is beneficial to practical applications.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In one aspect of this embodiment, a wireless transceiver 18, model nRF24LE1, is fixedly installed on the outer side of the U-shaped base 2. The wireless transceiver 18 is connected to a remote intelligent terminal via a wireless network, enabling it to send temperature monitoring data and transmit control commands to the remote intelligent terminal, providing necessary data transmission for the operation of the intelligent greenhouse. A controller 19, model S7-200, is fixedly installed on the outer side of the winch 3. The winch 3, temperature sensor 6, motor 11, and electric telescopic rod 12 are all electrically connected to the controller 19, allowing the controller 19 to control the entire equipment operation.

[0029] Working principle: In use, first install the walking wheels 10 inside the track groove 9, and then install the cover plate 16 at one end of the hanging rail 1 with screws. Then, use the fixing plate 17 and fixing holes to install the hanging rail 1 inside the greenhouse, and at the same time turn on the power.

[0030] When the temperature monitoring position needs to be adjusted, a control command is sent to the wireless transceiver 18 via a remote intelligent terminal. The wireless transceiver 18 then transmits the control signal to the controller 19. The controller 19 controls the motor 11 to operate, causing one of the traveling wheels 10 to rotate. The friction between the traveling wheel 10 and the track groove 9 moves the U-shaped seat 2 on the hanging rail 1, which in turn moves the winch 3, the boom 4, the monitoring box 5, and the temperature sensor 6, adjusting the position of the temperature sensor 6. Simultaneously, the controller 19 controls the winch 3 to operate, moving the monitoring box 5 up and down to adjust the height of the temperature sensor 6, thus facilitating temperature monitoring at different heights. By controlling the equipment operation via a remote intelligent terminal and monitoring the temperature at different spatial locations, intelligent temperature monitoring is achieved.

[0031] Furthermore, when the temperature sensor 6 is in use, the electric telescopic rod 12 is controlled to move the lifting block 13 downwards inside the monitoring box 5. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the connecting rod 14, the baffle 8 rotates inside the notch 7, thus opening the notch 7. When the baffle 8 rotates and opens, it blocks direct sunlight from the temperature sensor 6, thereby reducing the impact of direct sunlight on the temperature monitoring results to a certain extent, which is beneficial for practical applications.

[0032] Once all the crops inside the greenhouse are mature and ready for harvesting or digging, the temperature sensor 6 is no longer needed. Instead, the electric telescopic rod 12 is activated, causing the lifting block 13 to move upwards inside the monitoring box 5. Simultaneously, the connecting rod 14 causes the baffle 8 to rotate inside the opening 7, thus sealing the opening. This protects the temperature sensor 6, preventing dust from accumulating on its surface and affecting its performance.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
