    Abstract:

    The solar greenhouse can effectively reduce the heat loss under the outdoor condition at low temperature by covering insulation materials. Based on the previous study of design and experiment of the rear fixed type rolling shutter device in solar greenhouse, in order to study the influence of rolling shutter opening on the temperature change in solar greenhouse, aimed at the insulation pads, the typical “Liaoshen Ⅳ” solar greenhouse structure was simplified. The result suggested that the indoor temperature of solar greenhouse can be affected by the rolling shutter opening, which changed the covering area of insulation materials and heat dissipation rate of solar greenhouse. There was a linear proportional relationship between indoor temperature of solar greenhouse and rolling shutter opening. And then this theory was verified by CFD-Fluent. The following conclusion was drawn: covering the shutter can effectively reduce the heat loss and maintain appropriate indoor temperature and its uniformity for solar greenhouse. Under ideal conditions, the rolling shutter opening would change the covering area of insulation materials and lead to the differences of heat dissipation rate for solar greenhouse, at last, lead to the regional difference of inner temperature. And the relationship between changes of inner temperature and the value of rolling shutter opening was almost linear. The study intuitively reflected the relationship between indoor temperature and roller shutter opening of solar greenhouse, and provided a theoretical basis for further strengthening the precision control of rolling shutter machines, besides it would provide effective reference for greenhouse production practice in China, and it had an important theoretical and practical significance.
