[0028] As shown in Figures 1-3, this application provides an air-supplying plant light that combines air supply for plant growth with supplemental lighting for indoor plants. The air-supplying plant light includes a support frame 1, a supplemental light 2, and an air supply assembly 3. Exemplarily, two supports 1 are provided, spaced apart and parallel to each other. The support frame 1 serves as the skeleton structure of the air-supplying plant light, determining its volume, air supply area, and the illumination area of ​​the supplemental light 2. The support frame 1 is generally made of metal with a certain structural strength. It is understood that the number of supports 1 is not limited and can be set according to the length of the supplemental light 2 and the length of the air supply assembly 3, while considering installation stability. The following embodiments all illustrate the case of two supports 1.

[0029] The supplemental light 2 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1. When there are two brackets 1, the two ends of the supplemental light 2 are fixedly connected to the two brackets 1 respectively. Multiple supplemental lights 2 are spaced apart along the length of the bracket 1. The supplemental light 2 is a lamp designed to improve the supplemental light of plants. It can be a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp source or a strip lighting component such as a sodium lamp, which can provide continuous light within the width of the two brackets 1.

[0030] The air supply component 3 is connected to the bracket 1. When two brackets 1 are used, the two ends of the air supply component 3 are connected to the two brackets 1 respectively. Multiple air supply components 3 and multiple supplementary lights 2 are arranged at intervals. The air outlet of the air supply component 3 and the illumination end of the supplementary light 2 face the same side of the bracket 1, so that the air supply component 3 can supply air to the plant while the supplementary light 2 illuminates the plant.

[0031] The plant light with air supply provided in this application has two supports 1 arranged parallel to each other, forming a planar overall structure. This facilitates placement on the side or top of the plant to be supplemented with light, making installation more flexible and convenient, and occupying less space. In this example, by arranging multiple supplemental lights 2 and multiple air supply components 3 at intervals on the supports 1, with the air outlet of the air supply component 3 and the illumination end of the supplemental light 2 located on the same side of the supports 1, the air supply component 3 can simultaneously provide air supply when the supplemental light 2 illuminates the plant. Furthermore, the air outlet and the illumination end being on the same side allows the air outlet to directly supply air to the plant, increasing air turbulence around the plant and thus regulating the carbon dioxide concentration around the plant, which is beneficial for improving the plant's photosynthesis. Because the supplemental lighting 2 and the air supply components 3 are spaced apart, the illumination and air supply are uniform. While supplying air, the temperature of the supplemental lighting 2 is reduced, avoiding localized overheating of the plants. Furthermore, the air outlet is on the same side as the illumination end of the supplemental lighting 2, which helps to remove moisture from the surface of the illumination end and prevents mold growth on the surface of the supplemental lighting 2 due to high moisture and humidity. In addition, multiple air supply components 3 can supply air to different areas, avoiding uneven air supply caused by plants blocking the wind.

[0032] In some embodiments, at least one air supply component 3 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1.

[0033] It is understood that the air supply component 3 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1. When the air supply component 3 rotates, the direction of the air outlet changes. By adjusting the direction of the air outlet, air can be supplied to the plant individually, and the air supply angle between the air outlet and the plant can be adjusted. Furthermore, adjusting the air outlets of multiple air supply components 3 can achieve greater airflow disturbance, making it suitable for environments requiring increased air turbulence in sealed spaces. This results in more uniform air supply and rapid air exchange and renewal around the plants, meeting various usage needs. The adjustable direction of the air outlet of the air supply component 3 allows for airflow to the surfaces of adjacent supplemental lights 2, ensuring their dryness and preventing mold growth. The adjustable air outlet direction can control airflow to plant leaves, soil, and supplemental lights, providing flexible and convenient adjustment to meet diverse air supply needs.

[0034] In some embodiments, the air supply assembly 3 includes a crossflow fan, and the two ends of the housing of the crossflow fan are rotatably connected to two brackets 1 for installation.

[0035] It is understandable that crossflow fans have the advantage of low airflow noise, making them convenient for use with indoor plants. The air outlet of a crossflow fan can achieve airflow over a large area, ensuring uniform airflow to the plant canopy. Compared to related technologies that often use side airflow and localized fan airflow, the air supply component 3 in this embodiment avoids the problem of excessive airflow. The multiple air supply components 3, spaced apart, take into account the obstruction of airflow by the plants, enabling localized airflow to multiple areas at different heights or widths without obstruction, resulting in better airflow performance.

[0036] In some embodiments, the air supply assembly 3 includes a damping shaft 31, which is at least located at one end of the air supply assembly 3, and both ends of the air supply assembly 3 are rotatably connected to the bracket 1 via the damping shaft 31.

[0037] As shown in Figure 3, a damping shaft 31 is installed at one end of the air supply assembly 3, and the other end of the air supply assembly 3 is movably connected to the bracket 1. The damping shaft 31 has the advantage of convenient manual adjustment and can meet the adjustment of any angle of the air outlet. In order to automatically control the working state and air outlet direction of the air supply assembly 3 according to the growth status of the plants in the enclosed space, as shown in Figure 1, a controller 5 and a drive component are installed at one end of the bracket 1. At least one end of the air supply assembly 3 is connected to the output end of the drive component, and the controller 5 is electrically connected to the drive component. Thus, the automatic rotation control of the air supply assembly 3 can be achieved by controlling the operation of the drive component through the controller 5.

[0038] In some embodiments, the air supply component 3 and two adjacent supplementary lights 2 form a set of air supply and supplementary lighting units, and the air supply plant light includes multiple air supply and supplementary lighting units.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1, a supplementary light 2 is installed on each of the upper and lower sides of the air supply component 3, with a distance of L1 between them. In the air supply and supplementary lighting unit, the minimum distance between the air supply component 3 and the supplementary light 2 is L1, and the minimum distance between two adjacent air supply and supplementary lighting units is L2, where L1 < L2. In Figure 1, there are three air supply and supplementary lighting units between the two supports 1. The number of air supply and supplementary lighting units is related to the range of plants requiring illumination. Air supply plant lights with three air supply and supplementary lighting units have the advantages of being the most commonly used and economical, are easy to carry, and are convenient for grouping and providing supplementary lighting for multi-beaded plants.

[0040] In some embodiments, each support 1 includes at least two support units 11, with adjacent support units 11 being rotatably connected and the support units 11 being able to overlap each other after rotation.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2, in this example, each bracket 1 includes three bracket units 11, which are rotatably connected to each other. The bracket units 11 on two brackets 1 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, thus enabling folding along the length of the bracket 1 to reduce its length and facilitate storage and transportation. As shown in Figure 2, the bracket unit 11 folds towards the illumination end of the supplementary light 2, thereby protecting the air outlet of the supplementary light 2 and the air supply assembly 3 after folding. It can be understood that the air supply assembly 3 and the supplementary light 2 on the folded bracket unit 11 are staggered to avoid interference during folding. Adjacent bracket units 11 can be connected by a connector 12 to achieve rotatable folding. In some embodiments, the connector 12 can be a hinge or similar device.

[0042] In some embodiments, each bracket unit 11 is provided with at least one supplementary light 2 and at least one air supply assembly 3.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2, after the two opposing support units 11 are folded or rotated 90° at the top, they can form two illumination surfaces and two air supply surfaces with right angles. When the support 1 is placed horizontally, the supplementary light 2 and the air supply component 3 on the support units 11 at the two ends of the support unit 11 at the angle to each other can supplement light and supply air to the plants at the angle to each other, which has the advantage of unobstructed air supply and supplementary light.

[0044] In some embodiments, the bracket 1 is provided with lifting rings 4 at both ends along its length.

[0045] As shown in Figure 1, the two ends of the bracket 1 are equipped with hanging rings 4. When in use, the air supply plant light can be installed through the hanging rings 4. The four hanging rings 4 make it easy to set the bracket 1 horizontally or vertically, which is flexible and the hanging is easy to adjust the height to adapt to the changes in the height of plant growth.

[0046] In some embodiments, the surface of the bracket 1 and / or the fill light 2 is provided with a protective layer.

[0047] The protective layer can be an antibacterial paint or other coatings that have waterproof and mildew-proof properties.

[0048] The above-mentioned air-supplying plant light, supplemental light 2, and air supply assembly 3 provided in this application embodiment are all communicatively connected to controller 5, which controls their start and stop actions. When the air supply assembly 3 is activated, the crossflow fan can draw in surrounding air and exhaust it from its top, creating a ventilation effect. Simultaneously, when the plant environment box has a carbon dioxide supply device, it can intermittently release carbon dioxide to meet the plant's needs. The supplemental light 2's lighting function also provides light energy, promoting plant photosynthesis, thereby providing a comprehensive and reliable environment with good ventilation and airflow for plant growth.

[0049] The air-supply plant light provided in this application, by arranging multiple supplemental lights and multiple air supply components at intervals on the bracket, with the air outlet of the air supply component on the same side as the illumination end of the supplemental light, allows the air supply component to simultaneously supply air in multiple directions and areas when the supplemental light is illuminating the plant. This solves the problem of airflow and light obstruction that may occur due to different plant heights. Because the supplemental lights and air supply components are spaced apart, the illumination and air supply are uniform. The air supply also helps to reduce the temperature of the supplemental lights, avoiding localized overheating of the plant. Furthermore, the air supply can ventilate the plant leaves and soil, reducing the occurrence of mold. The air supply component can increase local airflow disturbance, thereby regulating the carbon dioxide concentration around the plant and ensuring sufficient carbon dioxide for plant growth.
