Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of orchard environmental control, and in particular to a system and method for intelligently controlling the growth environment of apple trees. Background Art

[0002] Reasonable branch pruning can make the crown structure of the apple tree more reasonable, allowing more sunlight to penetrate into the interior and lower part of the crown, improving the efficiency of photosynthesis. At the same time, reasonable control of pests and diseases can help maintain the balance of the orchard ecosystem and maintain the stability of the ecosystem. Therefore, this application proposes an intelligent growth environment control system and method for the growth status of apple trees.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the invention patent application with announcement number: CN118537159A, discloses an intelligent control system for the growth environment of apple trees, which includes using pre-processed data to respectively calculate environmental factors and the growth status of apple trees, and converting the obtained environmental factors and growth status of apple trees into data and inputting them; then judging whether the growth status of the apple trees reaches a threshold value based on the input data, and if so, analyzing the environmental factors; if not, comprehensively analyzing the environmental factors and the growth status of apple trees, and then allocating the water quota within the apple tree planting area.

[0004] Regarding the above scheme, there are the following technical problems: 1. The current technology mainly calculates environmental factors and the growth status of apple trees, and then allocates water quotas within the apple tree planting area. The current technology only allocates water resources within the planting area, and does not take into account that if the branches of the apple tree are too dense, it will affect the photosynthesis of the apple tree. At this time, only controlling the water quota of the apple tree cannot ensure the healthy growth of the apple tree.

[0005] 2. Current technology does not take into account that after water quota allocation, reasonable water resources will not only promote the growth of apple trees, but also promote the reproduction of pathogens and pests in the apple tree planting area. Therefore, it is also crucial to carry out reasonable disease and pest control on apple trees. The current technology’s neglect of this aspect will lead to an increased probability of apple trees being infected with diseases and pests, and thus the quality of apple tree fruits cannot be guaranteed.

[0021] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0022] With reference to Figure 1 The present application provides an intelligent growth environment regulation system for apple tree growth state, comprising the following modules: an intelligent regulation network module: for constructing an intelligent regulation network in an orchard, thereby realizing intelligent regulation of the growth environment of each apple tree in the orchard.

[0023] In a specific example, the construction of the intelligent regulation network in the orchard, thereby realizing intelligent regulation of the growth environment of each apple tree in the orchard, is specifically as follows: installing light sensors on the canopies of each apple tree according to a first preset distance, installing soil information sensors in the soil according to a second preset distance, and installing light sensors and air information sensors at the branches and tops of each apple tree according to a third preset distance; simultaneously installing first regulation devices between the branches of each apple tree in the orchard according to a fifth preset distance and installing second regulation devices according to a sixth preset distance; the sensors and the regulation devices are connected to a central control unit through wireless sensor network technology, the sensors transmit the collected information to the central control unit, the central control unit analyzes the information collected by the sensors, thereby formulating regulation strategies, and thereby controlling the regulation devices to regulate the growth environment of the apple trees in the orchard.

[0024] It should be noted that the first preset distance, the second preset distance, the third preset distance, the fourth preset distance, the fifth preset distance and the sixth preset distance are determined by the coverage range of the specific sensors or regulation devices, for example, the collection range of the soil information sensor is 2 meters, and the first preset distance is set to 2 meters.

[0025] It should be noted that the first regulation device and the second regulation device are light supplement devices and temperature compensation devices, respectively.

[0026] An apple tree monitoring module: for monitoring the branch information, pest and disease information and environmental information of each apple tree in the orchard, and obtaining each level of branches of each apple tree, and transmitting to the central control unit.

[0027] In a specific example, the branch information, pest and disease information and environmental information of each apple tree in the orchard are monitored, and branches at all levels of each apple tree are obtained. The specific process is as follows: the branch information includes the length of each branch of each apple tree and the distance between adjacent branches of adjacent apple trees; the pest and disease information includes the fungus and bacteria content, virus content and pest content in the soil and air that can cause apple tree diseases and pests; the environmental information includes light and temperature.

[0028] The images and videos of each apple tree are collected by the camera equipment installed in the orchard. The branches connected to the trunk of each apple tree are recorded as first-level branches, the branches connected to the first-level branches are recorded as second-level branches, and the branches connected to the second-level branches except the first-level branches are recorded as third-level branches. Based on this, the branches on each apple tree are graded to obtain the branches of each level of each apple tree.

[0029] Analysis and control module: used to analyze the branch information, pest and disease information and environmental information of each apple tree in the orchard, and then control the growth environment of each apple tree in the orchard.

[0030] In a specific example, the analysis and control module includes: a branch analysis and control unit: used to analyze the branch information of each apple tree in the orchard to obtain each branch to be pruned and each branch to be controlled, and then control each branch to be pruned and each branch to be controlled of each apple tree.

[0031] Pest and disease analysis and control unit: After the branch analysis and control are completed, it is used to predict the pests and diseases of each apple tree according to the pest and disease information of the orchard, and then control the pests and diseases of each apple tree according to the environmental information of the orchard.

[0032] In a specific example, the method is used to obtain each branch to be pruned and each branch to be regulated based on the branch information of each apple tree in the orchard, and then regulate each branch to be pruned and each branch to be regulated of each apple tree. The specific process is as follows: the branches of a certain apple tree are divided into quadrats according to preset lengths to obtain each area of ​​the apple tree, and then the branch images of each area of ​​the apple tree are collected using a camera device, so as to obtain the branch density of each area of ​​the apple tree through image processing technology analysis, and the branch density of each area of ​​the apple tree is compared with the set standard density range of the branches of the apple tree. When the branch density of a certain area of ​​the apple tree is greater than the upper limit of the standard density range, then This area of ​​the apple tree is recorded as a first-level control area. When the branch density of a certain area of ​​the apple tree is less than the lower limit of the set standard density interval of the apple branches, this area of ​​the apple tree is recorded as a second-level control area. At the same time, the middle value of the set standard density interval of the apple branches is recorded as the density control threshold. When the branch density of a certain area of ​​the apple tree belongs to the standard density interval but is greater than the density control threshold, this area of ​​the apple tree is recorded as a third-level control area. Based on this, the first-level control areas, second-level control areas and third-level control areas of each apple tree in the orchard are obtained, and corresponding control is performed on each first-level control area, each second-level control area and each third-level control area.

[0033] It should be noted that the preset length is set by relevant staff according to the length of the branches of the apple tree.

[0034] It should be noted that the image processing technology is an existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0035] It should be noted that the standard density range of apple tree branches is obtained by the staff's scientific research practice, production experience summary and growth law research on apple trees in the orchard, specifically 80,000 branches / mu to 120,000 branches / mu.

[0036] After the control of each first-level control area, each second-level control area and each third-level control area of ​​each apple tree in the orchard is completed, any fruit tree is obtained and recorded as the target apple tree. Images and videos of the target fruit tree and each adjacent apple tree are collected by camera equipment. The branch density at the junction of the target apple tree and each adjacent apple tree branch is then analyzed through image processing technology. According to the method of analyzing the first-level control areas, each second-level control areas and each third-level control areas of each apple tree in the orchard, the first-level adjacent control areas, each second-level adjacent control areas and each third-level adjacent control areas at the junction of the target apple tree and each adjacent apple tree branch are analyzed. Based on this analysis, the first-level adjacent control areas, each second-level adjacent control areas and each third-level adjacent control areas at the junction of each apple tree and each adjacent apple tree are obtained, and the first-level adjacent control areas, each second-level adjacent control areas and each third-level adjacent control areas are correspondingly controlled.

[0037] It should be noted that the control method of carrying out corresponding control on each first-level adjacent control area, each second-level adjacent control area and each third-level adjacent control area is the same as the control method of carrying out corresponding control on each first-level control area, each second-level control area and each third-level control area; wherein carrying out corresponding control on each first-level control area, each second-level control area and each third-level control area can not only ensure that each branch can carry out sufficient photosynthesis, but also reduce the ineffective consumption of nutrients and ensure the quality and taste of the fruit; carrying out corresponding control on each first-level adjacent control area, each second-level adjacent control area and each third-level adjacent control area can not only reasonably allocate space and avoid apple tree development problems caused by space competition, but also make the passages in the orchard more unobstructed, making it easier for fruit farmers to work.

[0038] In a specific example, the corresponding regulation of each first-level regulation area, each second-level regulation area and each third-level regulation area is carried out as follows: for each first-level regulation area, the middle value of the set standard density range of apple tree branches is obtained, recorded as the standard density of apple tree branches, and relevant staff are dispatched to prune the branches of each first-level regulation area according to the standard density of apple tree branches.

[0039] For each secondary control area, the standard density range of apple tree branches corresponding to the standard light intensity range is obtained from the data center. The central control unit controls the fill light device corresponding to each secondary control area in the orchard based on the light intensity threshold to fill light for each secondary fill light area.

[0040] It should be noted that the standard light intensity range corresponding to the standard density range is obtained by the staff's scientific research practice, production experience summary and growth law research on apple trees in the orchard, specifically 30%-60% of the natural light intensity at the top of the apple tree. The natural light intensity at the top of the apple tree is collected by the corresponding light sensor at the top of the apple tree. In order to obtain a more effective control effect, the fill light device can be controlled to fill light to the corresponding secondary control areas according to 60% of the natural light intensity at the top of the apple tree.

[0041] For each three-level control area, if a third-level area is the top area of ​​the apple tree, the third-level control area will not be regulated. If a third-level control area is not the top area of ​​the apple tree, the current light intensity of the third-level control area will be obtained through the light sensor at the branch of the apple tree, and the standard light intensity range corresponding to the third-level control area will be obtained by analysis. If the current light intensity of the third-level control area belongs to the standard light intensity range, the third-level control area will not be regulated. If the current light intensity of the third-level control area does not belong to the standard light intensity range, the central control unit controls the fill light device to regulate the third-level control area according to the lower limit value of the standard light intensity range. In this way, each three-level control area in the orchard is regulated.

[0042] In a specific example, after the branch analysis and regulation are completed, pests and diseases are predicted for each apple tree based on the pest and disease information of the orchard. The specific process is as follows: the bacteria and fungi content, virus content and pest content collected by each soil information sensor and each air information sensor in the orchard are obtained from the central control unit, and the average values ​​of each bacteria and fungi content, each virus content and each pest content are recorded as the bacteria and fungi content, virus content and pest content in the orchard, respectively. The bacteria and fungi content, virus content and pest content in the orchard are compared with the bacteria and fungi content threshold, virus content threshold and pest content threshold, respectively. If the bacteria and fungi content, virus content and pest content in the orchard are all less than the corresponding bacteria and fungi content threshold, virus content threshold and pest content threshold, there is no need to carry out pest and disease regulation on the orchard. Otherwise, the type of pest and disease in the orchard is predicted based on the comparison between the bacteria and fungi content, virus content and pest content in the orchard and the corresponding bacteria and fungi content threshold, virus content threshold and pest content threshold.

[0043] It should be noted that the bacterial and fungal content thresholds, virus content thresholds and pest content thresholds are determined by the specific types of bacteria, fungi, viruses and pests. For example, the anthrax spore content threshold is 10 per milliliter. 5 spores, the content threshold of codling moth is 1 adult / square meter, etc.

[0044] It should be noted that the prediction of the type of pests and diseases in the orchard based on the comparison of the bacteria and fungi content, virus content and pest content in the orchard with the corresponding bacteria and fungi content thresholds, virus content thresholds and pest content thresholds specifically includes: when the bacteria and fungi content in the orchard is greater than or equal to the corresponding bacteria and fungi content thresholds, but the virus content and pest content are less than the corresponding virus content thresholds and pest content thresholds, the type of pests and diseases in the orchard is predicted to be bacterial and fungal infection. In this way, it is predicted whether the orchard has virus infection and pest infection.

[0045] In a specific example, the specific process of controlling pests and diseases in an orchard is as follows: when the type of pests and diseases in the orchard is predicted to be bacterial and fungal infection, the specific predicted type of bacteria and fungi infected is obtained, and then the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable lighting conditions of the predicted infected bacteria and fungi are obtained, and the fill light device and the temperature compensation device are controlled according to the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable lighting conditions of the predicted infected bacteria and fungi to control the bacteria and pathogens in the orchard at a preset frequency, and at the same time, staff are dispatched to spray relevant biological inhibitors into the orchard.

[0046] When the type of pest and disease in the orchard is predicted to be a viral infection, the specific predicted type of virus is obtained, and then the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable light conditions for the predicted infected virus are obtained. According to the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable light conditions for the predicted infected virus, the fill light device and the temperature compensation device are controlled to disinfect the viruses in the orchard at a preset frequency, and at the same time, corresponding beneficial microorganisms are introduced to inhibit the viruses in the orchard.

[0047] When the type of pest and disease in the orchard is predicted to be pest infection, the specific predicted type of pest infection is obtained, and then the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable light conditions of the predicted infected pests are obtained. According to the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable light conditions of the predicted infected pests, the light-filling device and the temperature compensation device are controlled to disinfect the pests in the orchard at a preset frequency. At the same time, nectar plants and attractant plants are planted in the orchard, thereby providing a habitat and reproduction place for the natural enemy insects of the pests, thereby suppressing the pests in the orchard.

[0048] When the orchard's pest and disease types are predicted to be a composite infection of multiple types including bacterial and fungal infections, viral infections and pest infections, the orchard's pest and disease control is carried out comprehensively based on the control methods of each infection type of the orchard's pest and disease infections.

[0049] It should be noted that the preset frequency is determined by the relevant staff, and the light-filling device and the temperature compensation device are controlled according to the preset frequency to control the pests and diseases in the orchard, thereby avoiding the impact of the mechanical energy of the light-filling device and the temperature compensation device on the growth of apple trees.

[0050] It should be noted that the control methods based on various infection types of orchard pests and diseases are used to control orchard pests and diseases in a comprehensive manner. For example, when the orchard pest and disease types are predicted to be virus and pest infections, corresponding beneficial microorganisms are introduced to suppress the viruses in the orchard while planting nectar plants and attractant plants in the orchard, thereby providing habitats and breeding places for the natural enemies of pests, thereby suppressing the pests in the orchard, and regulating temperature and light, thereby achieving pest and disease control in the orchard.

[0051] Regulation and feedback module: used to count the apple yield in the orchard after the fruits are picked, and then evaluate the effect of regulating the growth environment of the apple trees in the orchard.

[0052] The effect of regulating the growth environment of apple trees in the orchard is evaluated, and the specific process is as follows: the apple yield of each historical planting cycle of the orchard and the number of apple tree diseases and pests in each historical planting cycle are obtained from the data center, and the apple yield and the number of apple tree diseases and pests in the orchard in the current cycle are compared with the apple yield and the number of apple tree diseases and pests in each historical cycle of the orchard respectively. If the apple yield in the orchard in the current cycle is greater than the apple yield in any historical cycle, it indicates that the branch regulation of each apple tree in the orchard is effective; otherwise, it indicates that the branch density regulation of the orchard is ineffective. Similarly, if the number of apple tree diseases and pests in the orchard in the current cycle is 0 or less than the number of apple tree diseases and pests in any historical cycle, it indicates that the disease and pest regulation of the orchard is effective; otherwise, it indicates that the disease and pest regulation of the orchard is ineffective. The results are fed back to relevant staff.

[0056] Step 4: Regulation feedback module: used to count the apple yield in the orchard after the fruits are picked, and then evaluate the effect of regulating the growth environment of the apple trees in the orchard.

After the branch regulation is completed, the orchard pests and diseases are regulated according to the pest and disease information and environmental information in the orchard. From the perspective of light and temperature, biological inhibitors and natural enemy insects are used to suppress pests and diseases, avoiding blind use of drugs and improving the prevention and control effect.

The specific process is as follows: After completing the control of each first-level control area, each second-level control area and each third-level control area of ​​each apple tree in the orchard, obtain any fruit tree and record it as the target apple tree. Use a camera to collect images and videos of the target fruit tree and each adjacent apple tree. Then use image processing technology to analyze and obtain the branch density at the junction of the target apple tree and each adjacent apple tree. According to the method of analyzing and obtaining each first-level control area, each second-level control area and each third-level control area of ​​each apple tree in the orchard, analyze and obtain each first-level adjacent control area, each second-level adjacent control area and each third-level adjacent control area at the junction of each apple tree and each adjacent apple tree, and perform corresponding control on each first-level adjacent control area, each second-level adjacent control area and each third-level adjacent control area.

5. The intelligent growth environment control system for apple tree growth according to claim 1, characterized in that: After the branch analysis and regulation are completed, pest and disease prediction is performed on each apple tree based on the pest and disease information of the orchard. The specific process is as follows: The bacterial and fungal contents, viral contents and pest contents collected by the soil information sensors and the air information sensors in the orchard are obtained from the central control unit, and the average values ​​of the bacterial and fungal contents, viral contents and pest contents are recorded as the bacterial and fungal contents, viral contents and pest contents in the orchard, respectively. The bacterial and fungal contents, viral contents and pest contents in the orchard are compared with the bacterial and fungal content thresholds, viral content thresholds and pest content thresholds, respectively. If the bacterial and fungal contents, viral contents and pest contents in the orchard are all lower than the corresponding bacterial and fungal content thresholds, viral content thresholds and pest content thresholds, there is no need to carry out pest and disease control in the orchard. Otherwise, the types of pests and diseases in the orchard are predicted based on the comparison between the bacterial and fungal contents, viral contents and pest contents in the orchard and the corresponding bacterial and fungal content thresholds, viral content thresholds and pest content thresholds.

6. The intelligent growth environment control system for the growth state of an apple tree according to claim 5, characterized in that: The specific process of controlling pests and diseases in orchards is as follows: When the orchard's pests and diseases are predicted to be bacterial and fungal infections, the specific predicted bacterial and fungal infections are obtained, and then the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable light conditions for the predicted bacteria and fungi infections are obtained. Based on the predicted unsuitable temperature and unsuitable light conditions for the predicted bacteria and fungi infections, the light-filling device and the temperature compensation device are controlled to control the bacteria and pathogens in the orchard at a preset frequency, and staff are dispatched to spray relevant bio-inhibitors in the orchard. When the orchard pest type is predicted to be a virus infection, the specific predicted virus type is obtained, and then the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable light conditions for the predicted virus infection are obtained. According to the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable light conditions for the predicted virus infection, the light-filling device and the temperature compensation device are controlled to disinfect the virus in the orchard at a preset frequency, and corresponding beneficial microorganisms are introduced to inhibit the virus in the orchard. When the orchard's pest and disease type is predicted to be an insect infection, the specific predicted infected pest type is obtained, and then the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable light conditions of the predicted infected pests are obtained. According to the unsuitable temperature and unsuitable light conditions of the predicted infected pests, the light-filling device and the temperature compensation device are controlled to disinfect the pests in the orchard at a preset frequency. At the same time, nectar plants and attractant plants are planted in the orchard to provide a habitat and breeding place for the natural enemies of the pests, thereby suppressing the pests in the orchard. When the orchard's pest and disease types are predicted to be a composite infection of multiple types including bacterial and fungal infections, viral infections and pest infections, the orchard's pest and disease control is carried out comprehensively based on the control methods of each infection type of the orchard's pest and disease infections.
