Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an aquaponics system. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 below describes an aquaponics system that uses solar panels, in which electricity is used to operate an air pump. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-113840 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As described in Patent Document 1, solar panels (hereinafter referred to as photovoltaic panels) are sometimes used in aquaponics, but the placement of the solar panels is often limited in order to irradiate the plants with sunlight. For example, it is necessary to place the solar panels in a way that avoids directions where sunlight is likely to hit them, or to limit the size of the solar panels. As a result, it may be difficult to obtain sufficient power.

[0005] In consideration of the above, the present invention aims to provide an aquaponics system that uses solar panels as a power source and that can easily irradiate plants with sunlight. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The aquaponics system of claim 1 comprises a bifacial solar power generation panel with a light-transmitting section between cells that transmits light; a first aquarium tank in which plants can be hydroponically cultivated and a second aquarium tank in which aquatic organisms can be cultivated, both installed in a position where the light that has passed through the light-transmitting section is irradiated; a waterway connecting the first aquarium tank and the second aquarium tank; and a circulation pump installed in the waterway that circulates circulating water between the first aquarium tank and the second aquarium tank.

[0007] In the aquaponics system of claim 1, circulating water circulates between a first tank for hydroponically cultivating plants and a second tank for cultivating aquatic organisms. This creates an aquaponics system. Furthermore, by using solar panels as a power source, the circulation pump can be operated without external electricity. Alternatively, even if external electricity is used, the amount of electricity used can be reduced.

[0008] Plants are irradiated with sunlight that passes through the transparent portions between the cells of the solar panel. Therefore, even if the solar panel is positioned in a direction that makes it easier for sunlight to reach the plants, the plants will be irradiated with sunlight. Furthermore, the plants will be irradiated with sunlight regardless of the size of the solar panel. In this way, it is easy to irradiate plants with sunlight while using the solar panel as a power source.

[0009] The solar panel is also bifacial, meaning that sunlight passing through the transparent section can be reflected off the periphery of the first tank or diffused on the backside of the panel, generating electricity. This allows for greater power generation than monofacial solar panels.

[0010] The aquaponics system of claim 2 is the aquaponics system of claim 1. The water splitting device splits the circulating water into hydrogen and oxygen.

[0011] In the aquaponics system of claim 2, hydrogen can be obtained from the circulating water by the water splitting device. This hydrogen can be stored in a fuel cell to generate power for the circulating pump.

[0012] The water decomposition device also allows oxygen to be obtained from the circulating water. By supplying this oxygen to the first and second tanks through the circulating water, it is possible to promote the growth of plants and aquatic organisms, as well as the growth of microorganisms that decompose the waste products of aquatic organisms.

[0013] The aquaponics system of claim 3 is the aquaponics system of claim 2, wherein the water decomposition device decomposes the circulating water into hydrogen and oxygen using a photocatalyst.

[0014] In the aquaponics system of claim 3, the photocatalyst decomposes the circulating water into hydrogen and oxygen, so no electricity is required for decomposition, which reduces power consumption compared to systems that decompose circulating water into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis.

[0015] The aquaponics system of claim 4 is the aquaponics system of claim 3, wherein the water splitting device includes a light transmitting section that transmits light between the photocatalysts fixed to the substrate.

[0016] In the aquaponics system described in claim 4, the photocatalyst is fixed to a substrate, which makes it easier to manage the photocatalyst compared to a method in which particulate photocatalysts are dispersed in water and decomposed.

[0017] Furthermore, since a light-transmitting section is provided between the substrates on which the photocatalyst is fixed, sunlight that has passed through the light-transmitting section can be irradiated onto the plants, making it easier to irradiate the plants with sunlight compared to a configuration without a light-transmitting section.

[0018] The aquaponics system of claim 5 is the aquaponics system of claim 1 or 2, further comprising at least one of a wind power generation device and a hydroelectric power generation device.

[0019] The aquaponics system described in claim 5 is equipped with at least one of a wind power generator and a hydroelectric power generator in addition to the solar power generation panels, so it can generate a large amount of electricity. It can also generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days and at night.

[0020] The aquaponics system of claim 5 may be the aquaponics system of any one of claims 1 to 4, further comprising at least one of a wind power generation device and a hydroelectric power generation device.

[0021] The aquaponics system of claim 6 is the aquaponics system of claim 1, further comprising a battery capable of storing at least the electricity generated by the solar power panel, and a power supply device capable of supplying external electricity to the circulation pump.

[0022] The aquaponics system described in claim 6 is provided with a battery that can store the electricity generated by the solar panels. This allows the stored electricity to be used even when the amount of electricity generated is low or nonexistent, such as on cloudy or rainy days or at night.

[0023] In addition, since it is equipped with a power supply device that can supply external power to the circulation pump, the circulation pump can be driven even when it is difficult to generate electricity using the solar panels (for example, at night or on rainy days) or when the battery has little stored power.

[0024] In addition, the aquaponics system of claim 6 may be an aquaponics system of claims 1 to 5, which is provided with at least a battery capable of storing the electricity generated by the solar power generation panel, and a power supply device capable of supplying external electricity to the circulation pump.

[0025] The aquaponics system of claim 7 is the aquaponics system of claim 1, which comprises a light-transmitting housing surrounding the first aquarium and the second aquarium, a temperature control mechanism capable of measuring and adjusting the temperature within the housing, and a humidity control mechanism capable of measuring and adjusting the humidity within the housing.

[0026] In the aquaponics system of claim 7, a greenhouse is formed by a light-transmitting enclosure surrounding the first and second aquariums. The temperature and humidity in the greenhouse are regulated by a temperature control mechanism and a humidity control mechanism. This allows the growth of plants and aquatic organisms to be controlled.

[0027] In addition, the aquaponics system of claim 7 may be an aquaponics system described in any one of claims 1 to 6, which is provided with a light-transmitting housing surrounding the first aquarium and the second aquarium, a temperature control mechanism capable of measuring and adjusting the temperature inside the housing, and a humidity control mechanism capable of measuring and adjusting the humidity inside the housing.

[0028] The aquaponics system of claim 8 is the aquaponics system of claim 1, further comprising a filtration filter in the water channel.

[0029] In the aquaponics system of claim 8, the water quality can be maintained by a filtration filter provided in the waterway.

[0030] The aquaponics system of claim 8 may be the aquaponics system of any one of claims 1 to 7, wherein the water channel is provided with a filtration filter. [Effects of the Invention]

[0031] According to the present invention, it is easy to irradiate plants with sunlight while using a solar power generation panel as a power source. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0033] Hereinafter, an aquaponics system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Components indicated by the same reference numerals in each drawing are the same components. However, unless otherwise specified in the specification, each component is not limited to one, and multiple components may exist.

[0034] Furthermore, descriptions of overlapping configurations and symbols in each drawing may be omitted. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and may be implemented by making appropriate modifications, such as omitting configurations, replacing them with different configurations, or combining one embodiment with various modified examples, within the scope of the purpose of the present disclosure.

[0035] <Aquaponics System> FIG. 1 shows an aquaponics system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] The aquaponics system 10 is composed of a frame 20, a greenhouse 22, a solar power generation panel 30, a water decomposition device 40, aquarium tanks 52A, 52B, a water channel 54, a circulation pump 56, a filtration filter 58A, an antibacterial and deodorizing filter 58B, a wind power generation device 60, a hydroelectric power generation device 62, a battery 64, a fuel cell 66, lighting fixtures 70, a temperature adjustment mechanism 72, a humidity adjustment mechanism 74, and a reflector 80.

[0037] (mounting) The frame 20 is a support structure for fixing the solar panels 30, the water splitting device 40, and the wind power generation device 60, and is constructed using, for example, steel frames. The frame 20 is arranged to surround the aquaponics system 50, which is constructed including the water tanks 52A and 52B and the water channel 54.

[0038] (Vinyl greenhouse) The greenhouse 22 is a housing that forms a greenhouse. The greenhouse 22 is formed by attaching a light-transmitting material to a framework formed using, for example, steel frames or rebars. The light-transmitting material is not particularly limited, but examples of the light-transmitting material that can be used include vinyl chloride sheets and polycarbonate plates.

[0039] The greenhouse 22 is placed inside the frame 20 and, like the frame 20, is placed around the aquaponics 50.

[0040] The frame 20 may be used as a framework for forming the greenhouse 22. That is, the greenhouse 22 may be constructed by fixing a light-transmitting material to the frame 20. The greenhouse 22 may be provided with an entrance and an air vent (not shown) as appropriate.

[0041] (Solar power panels) The solar power generation panel 30 is fixed to the mounting frame 20. Depending on the location where the aquaponics system 10 is constructed, the solar power generation panel 30 is preferably placed in a position where power generation efficiency can be increased, such as a position with long hours of sunshine or a position that can receive sunlight at noon, etc.

[0042] As shown in Fig. 2, the solar power generation panel 30 is configured by sandwiching a cell 32 between light-transmitting materials 34. The cells 32 are bifacial power generation cells that can generate electricity on both light-receiving surfaces. The light-transmitting materials 34 are formed using, for example, glass.

[0043] Between the cells 32, there are formed transmission sections 36 that transmit light. A portion of the light that has passed through the transmission sections 36 is reflected by the reflector 80, and this reflected light is incident on the back surface of the cell 32. Note that the light that has passed through the transmission sections 36 is also reflected by parts other than the reflector 80 (for example, various parts such as the water surface of the aquarium 52A, the surface of the plant P1, and the floor of the greenhouse 22) and is incident on the back surface of the cell 32.

[0044] The electricity generated by the solar panel 30 can be used to drive the circulation pump 56, the lighting fixtures 70, the temperature adjustment mechanism 72, and the humidity adjustment mechanism 74. This electricity can also be stored in the battery 64.

[0045] (Water splitting equipment) 1, water splitting device 40 is fixed to frame 20. Water splitting device 40 is preferably installed in the same location as solar power generation panel 30. In addition, branch path 54A of water channel 54 is connected to water splitting device 40, so that circulating water flowing from water tank 52B to water tank 52A can flow via water splitting device 40.

[0046] It is also possible to provide electromagnetic valves in the water passage and branch path 54A to adjust the flow of circulating water so that it does not pass through the water decomposition device 40.

[0047] 3, in water splitting device 40, substrate 42, on which photocatalyst 44 is fixed, is arranged so as to come into contact with circulating water flowing through branch path 54A. Water tank 54B is formed at the end of branch path 54A, and substrate 42 is arranged in water tank 54B.

[0048] Photocatalysts 44 are fixed to both sides of the substrate 42. Furthermore, transmitting sections 46 that transmit light are formed between the photocatalysts 44. A portion of the light that has transmitted through the transmitting sections 46 is reflected by, for example, a reflector 80, and this reflected light is incident on the photocatalyst 44 on the back side of the substrate 42.

[0049] Photocatalyst 44 uses light as a catalyst to decompose water (here, circulating water) into hydrogen and oxygen. The generated hydrogen is accumulated and stored in fuel cell 66 shown in FIG. 1. Meanwhile, the generated oxygen is supplied to water tank 52A along with the circulating water. It is also supplied to water tank 52B.

[0050] (aquarium, waterway, circulation pump) The aquarium 52A is an aquarium capable of hydroponically cultivating the plant P1, and is installed in a position where it is irradiated with sunlight that has passed through the transparent portion 36 (see Figure 2) of the solar power generation panel 30 (for example, a position where it is irradiated with sunlight at least at noon on the summer solstice).

[0051] Aquarium tank 52A is placed in a position where it is irradiated with light that has passed through transmission section 46 (see FIG. 3) of water decomposition device 40. Meanwhile, aquarium tank 52B is a tank capable of cultivating aquatic organisms P2, and is placed at a lower position than aquarium tank 52A. The excrement of aquatic organisms P2 is decomposed by microorganisms P3 and becomes a nutrient source for plant P1.

[0052] Water tanks 52A and 52B are connected by a water channel 54. Water channel 54 is a return water channel that connects one end of water tank 52A to one end of water tank 52B and also connects the other end of water tank 52A to the other end of water tank 52B.

[0053] A circulation pump 56 is disposed in water channel 54. Circulation pump 56 circulates circulating water between water tank 52A and water tank 52B. That is, circulation pump 56 pumps circulating water from water tank 52B and water channel 54, which are located at lower positions, to water tank 52A and water channel 54, which are located at higher positions.

[0054] (filter) Water channel 54 is provided with a filtration filter 58A and an antibacterial deodorizing filter 58B. Filtration filter 58A can remove dead leaves and excrement of aquatic organisms from the circulating water. Furthermore, antibacterial deodorizing filter 58B can decompose, sterilize, and deodorize harmful substances in the circulating water. Filtration filter 58A and antibacterial deodorizing filter 58B may be integrally formed.

[0055] (power generation equipment) The aquaponics system 10 is equipped with a solar power generation panel 30 as well as a wind power generation device 60 and a hydroelectric power generation device 62 as power generation devices.

[0056] The wind power generation device 60 is installed on top of the frame 20. The electricity generated by the wind power generation device 60 can be used to drive the circulation pump 56, lighting fixtures 70, temperature adjustment mechanism 72, and humidity adjustment mechanism 74. This electricity can also be stored in a battery 64.

[0057] The hydroelectric power generation device 62 is provided at a position in the water channel 54 where it drops circulating water from the water tank 52A, which is located at a higher position, to the water tank 52B, which is located at a lower position. The electricity generated by the hydroelectric power generation device 62 can be used to drive the circulation pump 56, lighting fixtures 70, temperature adjustment mechanism 72, and humidity adjustment mechanism 74. This electricity can also be stored in the battery 64.

[0058] (batteries, fuel cells) As described above, the battery 64 can store the electricity generated by the solar power generation panel 30 as well as the wind power generation device 60 and the hydroelectric power generation device 62.

[0059] Battery 64 is equipped with an outlet 64A, and can also store external power. Furthermore, the power supplied from outlet 64A can be used, without being stored, as power to drive circulation pump 56, lighting fixture 70, temperature adjustment mechanism 72, and humidity adjustment mechanism 74. In other words, outlet 64A is a power supply device that can supply external power to circulation pump 56 and the like.

[0060] The fuel cell 66 can store hydrogen generated in the water decomposition device 40. The fuel cell 66 can also generate electricity by chemically reacting hydrogen with oxygen. Note that in the fuel cell 66, the hydrogen storage tank and the power generation unit may be physically separated from each other.

[0061] (Lighting fixtures) The lighting fixture 70 is a device that irradiates the plant P1 with light, and is powered by, for example, an LED, and is equipped with a light sensor (not shown). The wavelength and intensity of the light irradiated from the lighting fixture 70 can be adjusted according to the type and growth stage of the plant, as well as the amount and duration of sunlight incident.

[0062] (Temperature adjustment mechanism, humidity adjustment mechanism) The temperature adjustment mechanism 72 is an air conditioning device that heats or cools the inside of the greenhouse 22, and is configured with a temperature sensor (not shown). The set temperature of the temperature adjustment mechanism 72 can be adjusted according to the type of plants P1 and aquatic organisms P2 and the season.

[0063] The humidity adjustment mechanism 74 is an air conditioning device that humidifies or dehumidifies the inside of the greenhouse 22, and is configured with a humidity sensor (not shown). The set humidity of the humidity adjustment mechanism 74 can be adjusted depending on the type of plant P1 and the season.

[0064] (reflector) Reflector 80 is a plate that is installed around water tank 52A, on the water surface of water tank 52A, on the inner wall or bottom surface of greenhouse 22, etc., and is made of a material that reflects light (for example, aluminum). Note that reflector 80 may be replaced with a reflective film.

[0065] <Action and effect> As shown in Fig. 1, in an aquaponics system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, circulating water circulates between an aquarium 52A in which a plant P1 can be hydroponically cultivated and an aquarium 52B in which an aquatic organism P2 can be cultivated. This constitutes an aquaponics system 50. Furthermore, by using a solar power generation panel 30, it is possible to operate a circulation pump 56, lighting fixtures 70, temperature adjustment mechanism 72, and humidity adjustment mechanism 74 without using external power. Alternatively, even if external power is used, the amount of power used can be reduced.

[0066] The plant P1 is irradiated with sunlight that has passed through the transparent portions 36 between the cells 32 of the solar power generation panel 30 shown in Fig. 2. Therefore, even if the solar power generation panel 30 is placed in a direction that makes it easier for sunlight to reach it, the plant P1 shown in Fig. 1 is irradiated with sunlight. Furthermore, sunlight is irradiated on the plant P1 regardless of the size of the solar power generation panel 30. In this way, it is easy to irradiate plants with sunlight while using the solar power generation panel 30.

[0067] Furthermore, the transmitting portion 36 is formed in one solar power generation panel 30. This makes it easier to install the solar power generation panel compared to, for example, forming a transmitting portion that transmits sunlight by arranging multiple solar power generation panels 30 at intervals.

[0068] Furthermore, the solar panel 30 is a bifacial type. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 2(B), electricity can be generated by sunlight that has passed through the transmitting portion 36 and is reflected by reflectors 80 and the like arranged around the water tank 52A, or by light that is diffused on the back side of the solar panel 30. This allows for a greater amount of electricity to be generated compared to a monofacial solar panel.

[0069] In addition, in the aquaponics system 10, hydrogen can be obtained from the circulating water using the water decomposition device 40. This hydrogen can be stored in the fuel cell 66 to provide power for the circulation pump 56, lighting fixtures 70, temperature adjustment mechanism 72, and humidity adjustment mechanism 74. Furthermore, the water decomposition device 40 can be used to generate electricity through the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, and this type of power generation method has a smaller environmental impact than when carbon-based fuels are burned.

[0070] Furthermore, oxygen can be obtained from the circulating water by the water decomposition device 40. By supplying this oxygen to the aquarium 52A and the aquarium 52B through the circulating water, the growth of the plants P1 and the aquatic organisms P2 can be promoted, and the growth of the microorganisms P3 that decompose the excrement of the aquatic organisms can also be promoted.

[0071] In addition, the aquaponics system 10 does not require electricity to decompose circulating water into hydrogen and oxygen using the photocatalyst 44 shown in Figure 3. This reduces power consumption compared to systems that decompose circulating water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis.

[0072] Furthermore, in the aquaponics system 10, the photocatalyst 44 is fixed to the substrate 42, as shown in Figure 3(B). This makes it easier to manage the photocatalyst 44 compared to a method in which particulate photocatalysts are dispersed in water and decomposed. That is, the photocatalyst 44 and the circulating water are less likely to become cloudy, making it easy to replace the photocatalyst 44. There is also no need to take the trouble of separating the photocatalyst 44 from the circulating water.

[0073] Furthermore, since light-transmitting sections 46 that transmit light are provided between the photocatalysts 44, sunlight that has passed through the light-transmitting sections 46 can be irradiated onto the plant P1 shown in Fig. 1. Therefore, it is easier to irradiate the plant P1 with sunlight compared to a configuration without the light-transmitting sections 46.

[0074] Furthermore, the aquaponics system 10 is equipped with a wind power generator 60 and a hydroelectric power generator 62 in addition to the solar power generation panel 30, which allows for increased power generation. Power can also be generated on cloudy or rainy days and at night. These types of power generation produce electricity with a low environmental impact.

[0075] The aquaponics system 10 also includes a battery 64 that can store the electricity generated by the solar power generation panel 30, the wind power generation device 60, and the hydroelectric power generation device 62. This allows the stored electricity to be used even when there is little or no electricity generated, such as on cloudy or rainy days or at night.

[0076] In addition, since it is equipped with an outlet 64A as a power supply device that can supply external power, the circulation pump 56, lighting fixture 70, temperature adjustment mechanism 72, and humidity adjustment mechanism 74 can be driven even when it is difficult to generate electricity using the solar power generation panel (for example, at night or on rainy days) and the amount of electricity stored in the battery 64 is low.

[0077] In the aquaponics system 10, a greenhouse is formed by the vinyl greenhouse 22 surrounding the aquarium 52A and the aquarium 52B. The temperature and humidity in the greenhouse are adjusted by a temperature adjustment mechanism 72 and a humidity adjustment mechanism 74. This allows the growth of plants and aquatic organisms to be controlled.

[0078] In addition, in the aquaponics system 10, the water quality can be maintained by the filtration filter 58A and the antibacterial and deodorizing filter 58B provided in the water channel 54.

[0079] <Other embodiments> In the above embodiment, the solar power generation panel 30 is a bifacial type, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. The solar power generation panel of the present invention may also be a monofacial type.

[0080] Furthermore, when a bifacial solar panel 30 is used as the solar power generation panel, the aquaponics system 10 is provided with a reflector 80, but when a monofacial solar panel is used as the solar power generation panel, this is not limited to this, and for example, the reflector 80 may be omitted.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the aquaponics system 10 includes the wind power generation device 60 and the hydroelectric power generation device 62 in addition to the solar power generation panel 30, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the wind power generation device 60 and the hydroelectric power generation device 62 may be omitted.

[0082] In the above embodiment, the aquaponics system 10 includes the water splitting device 40, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the water splitting device 40 may be omitted. Furthermore, instead of the water splitting device 40 that uses the photocatalyst 44, a system that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis may be used. Furthermore, the photocatalyst 44 does not necessarily need to be fixed to the substrate 42, and a system in which particulate photocatalysts are dispersed in water may also be used.

[0083] In addition, in the above embodiment, the aquaponics system 10 includes the battery 64 and the fuel cell 66, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. Either one or both of these may be omitted.

[0084] In the above embodiment, the aquaponics system 10 includes the temperature adjustment mechanism 72 and the humidity adjustment mechanism 74, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. Either one or both of these may be omitted.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the aquaponics system 10 is provided with the filtration filter 58A and the antibacterial and deodorizing filter 58B in the water channel 54, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. Either one or both of these may be omitted.

[0086] In these various modified examples, by using the solar power generation panel 30 having the transparent portions 36 between the cells 32, it is possible to obtain the effect of making it easier to irradiate plants with sunlight while using the solar power generation panel 30. As described above, the present invention can be embodied in various aspects. [Explanation of symbols]
