Description

Vertical Mushroom Grower Monitoring Management System The present invention relates to a monitoring and management system for a mushroom cultivation facility (house) using eco-friendly energy. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for monitoring and managing the interior of a mushroom cultivation house using solar, geothermal, and groundwater heat sources to maintain the temperature, humidity, light intensity, and carbon dioxide concentration inside the mushroom cultivation house in an ideal state suitable for the mushroom growth environment. Solar heat, geothermal heat, and groundwater heat are utilized as eco-friendly energy sources in the mushroom cultivation house monitoring and management system of the present invention, thereby minimizing energy consumption. In addition, by controlling the flow path of the heat pump cycle differently according to the temperature of the external environment and the actual conditions of the heat pump device, the efficiency of the heat pump cycle is increased, failure of the heat pump cycle is prevented in advance, and in particular, energy consumption is minimized while preventing the death of mushrooms due to freezing in winter. In the mushroom house environment control device for obtaining shiitake mushrooms and volcanic mushrooms according to the prior art document below (Patent Application No. 10-2017-0146050, Registration No. 10-1945872), a heat pump cycle is used to control and manage the environment, such as the temperature of the mushroom cultivation house, thereby controlling the temperature and humidity inside the mushroom house to provide an environment suitable for mushroom growth. However, the above-mentioned conventional invention uses a simple air source heat pump cycle, which consumes a lot of energy. In particular, when the heat pump cycle is continuously operated to maintain the internal temperature of a mushroom cultivation house at an appropriate temperature during the severe cold of winter, the refrigerant circulating in the internal refrigerant piping of the heat pump cycle must absorb heat from the severe outside air at the heat source-side heat exchanger. Consequently, the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant decreases, and the density of the refrigerant sucked in by the compressor decreases. If the refrigerant density drawn from the compressor decreases, the refrigerant flow rate of the refrigerant cycle decreases, making it difficult to secure heating capacity. In addition, the conventional invention contains the problem that if the density of the refrigerant sucked into the compressor decreases, a small amount of refrigerant is compressed and heated, causing the temperature of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor to become abnormally high, which can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the heat pump cycle and cause failure or fire. Figure 1 is a configuration diagram of the vertical mushroom cultivation facility monitoring management system of the present invention. FIG. 1 illustrates the vertical mushroom cultivation facility monitoring management system of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the present invention comprises a vertical mushroom cultivation housing (30); and a heating and cooling water circulation pipe (30-CH) installed inside the vertical mushroom cultivation housing (30). The above heating and cooling water circulation pipe (30-CH) can heat or cool the interior of the vertical mushroom cultivation housing (30) by circulating the heat medium stored inside the thermal storage tank (80). A circulation pump (P) for circulating a heat medium is installed in the above heating and cooling water circulation pipe (30-CH), so that the heat medium stored inside the thermal storage tank (80) is sucked in from the inlet (30-CA) of the heating and cooling water circulation pipe (30-CH) and discharged through the outlet (30-CB) of the heating and cooling water circulation pipe (30-CH), thereby heating or cooling the interior of the vertical mushroom cultivation housing (30). It was found through research that the internal temperature of the vertical mushroom cultivation housing (30) is 15°C to 23°C, which is suitable for mushroom cultivation, the relative humidity is 93% to 99%, the oxygen is 19% to 23%, and the carbon dioxide is 500 ppm to 800 ppm, which is suitable for the mushroom cultivation environment. The heat medium stored in the above thermal storage tank (80) can receive thermal energy from the heat pump cycle (10), the solar water heater (40), and the groundwater well (50), respectively. In addition, a supplementary water pipe (not shown) for the heat medium (WR) is installed in the above-mentioned thermal storage tank (80) to supplement the shortage of the heat medium (WR) inside the thermal storage tank (80). A first heat medium circulation pipe (20) is installed between the first heat exchanger (19) and the thermal storage tank (80) of the above heat pump cycle (10), so th
