[0050] The present invention also provides a method for automatically controlling the size of the planting space of the planting cabinet, which is used in the planting cabinet. The planting cabinet includes a telescopic bracket, an information collection device, and a control device. The method includes:
[0051] S1: The information collection device obtains the growth information of the plants in the planting cabinet, and sends the growth information to the control device. Preferably, the growth information includes height information, growth space information and light information of the plant.
[0052] S2: Determine whether the growth information meets the preset conditions.
[0053] S3: If not, control the telescopic bracket to adjust the size of the planting space in the planting cabinet.
[0054] In this embodiment, the growth information includes the height information of the plant and the growth space information of the plant. The preset conditions include that the growth space of the plant needs to meet the height information of the plant, and the light needs to meet the light required for plant growth, such as the height of the growth space. It cannot be lower than the height of the plant, or the light cannot be lower than the light conditions required for the normal growth of the plant. When the control device judges that if the growth space information it receives cannot meet the normal growth of plants, or the growth space is too small to allow the plants to obtain sufficient light, the control device will automatically control the telescopic bracket so that the telescopic bracket will be The planting space becomes larger. Therefore, not only can the utilization rate of space be improved, but it is also beneficial to the growth of plants.
[0055] Furthermore, the planting cabinet is provided with multiple planting layers, and each planting layer is equipped with a lifting bracket. Controlling the telescopic bracket to adjust the size of the planting space in the planting cabinet includes the following steps:
[0056] Control the telescopic bracket to adjust the overall space size of the planting cabinet;
[0057] Control the lifting bracket to adjust the space size of the planting layer in the planting cabinet.
[0058] When the size of the space in one of the planting layers cannot meet the growth of plants, the overall space of the planting cabinet is increased by the telescopic bracket, and then the space of the planting layer is increased by the corresponding lifting bracket. Therefore, through this adjustment step, the space size of the planting layer can be increased without reducing the space size of other planting layers.
