Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of planting equipment, and in particular to a vertical stacking intelligent container system and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Container farming is a modern agricultural technology that transforms standard containers into controlled-environment farming spaces, uses soilless cultivation techniques such as hydroponics or aeroponics, and combines LED lighting, temperature and humidity control, and automated management systems to achieve efficient and sustainable indoor farming. This method not only saves space and water resources, but also enables localized production in urban environments, reduces transportation costs and carbon emissions, and ensures stable growth and high-quality output of crops throughout the year. Generally, the plants used for container farming include mushrooms, vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers.

[0003] Although there are many types of plants that can be grown in containers, the current existing technology only grows one type of plant in a single container, generally with multiple layers of shelves, with plants placed on each layer of the shelves. The temperature and humidity inside the container are almost constant. Even if there are several types of plants that are adapted to approximately the same ambient temperature and humidity, the growth cycle and watering conditions of each type of plant are different. Specifically, when multiple types of plants are grown in the same container at the same time, the growth cycle of each type of plant is different, and the water and light required in each growth cycle are also different. At the same time, the growth rate is different, and the growth rate affects the height of the plant, and the required growth space is also different. Therefore, the existing technology can only grow one type of plant in a container. Summary of the invention

[0038] In this way, different amounts of water can be given to the plants of different plant species and different growth states on different movable plates 13 .

[0039] The cultivation area and the monitoring and watering area are located on the left side of the box body 1. An observation area is provided on the right side of the box body 1. The observation area is the aisle of the intelligent container, and the width of the observation area is greater than the first spacing.

[0040] A vertical stacking intelligent container system includes a transport module and a first judgment module. The transport module includes a telescopic unit, a transfer unit and a positioning unit. The telescopic unit is arranged on a movable plate 13 and faces away from a transparent growth box 5, and is used to extend the movable plate 13 out of a culture rack and into an observation area, or to withdraw the movable plate 13 from the observation area and extend it back to the culture rack. The transfer unit is arranged on the top of the inner wall of the box body 1 and is located above the observation area, and is used to extract the target transparent growth box 5, or place the transparent growth box 5 on the target placement position. Specifically, the telescopic unit includes a first motor, a ball screw, a fixed plate, three first sliders, a sliding plate and two first slide rails.

The two first slide rails are fixedly mounted on the fixed plate, and are respectively located on the left and right sides of the ball screw. The remaining two first sliders are respectively connected to the first slide rail in a sliding manner. The sliding plate is fixedly connected to the movable plate 13, and the movable plate 13 is located above the sliding plate. The length of the ball screw is approximately the same as that of the movable plate 13, and the length of the sliding plate is slightly less than that of the long plate. The transfer unit includes a second slide rail 14, a trolley 15, a winch and a grabbing device. The second slide rail 14 includes a transverse rail and two longitudinal rails.

The horizontal rail is parallel to the axis of the culture rack, the horizontal rail slides on the vertical rail, and the trolley 15 slides on the horizontal rail. The grabbing device can grab the transparent growth box 5 at any position in the observation area.

[0041] In this embodiment, the movable plates 13 on the same group of culture racks have the same structure and length, the placement positions on each movable plate 13 are fixed, the number is the same, the position is the same, and the growth culture boxes are the same. Each transparent growth box 5 only places one plant. A vertical stacking intelligent container system includes a transport module and a first judgment module.

[0042] The first judgment module judges whether the growth cycle of the plant changes according to the image information. If so, the transparent growth box containing the plant is transported; the transport is to transfer the plant to a culture rack suitable for its growth cycle.

[0043] Specifically, the monitoring watering device is also used to monitor the growth status of the plant and send image information to the first judgment module. The first judgment module determines whether the growth cycle of the plant has changed based on the image information. If no change has occurred, the plant is not transported. If a change has occurred, the first transport information is sent to the transport module, and the first transport information is to transport the transparent growth box 5 where the plant whose growth cycle has changed is stored.

[0044] Specifically, the culture area is generated as a second three-dimensional coordinate system, the number of layers is used as the z-axis, and the transparent growth box 5 at each placement position on the entire movable plate 13 is used as a three-dimensional coordinate point.

[0045] The first culture rack is used to cultivate young plants. When the growth height of the first plant, the second plant or the third plant on the first culture rack increases, it reaches the growth height of the growth period. At this time, the three-dimensional coordinate point of the transparent culture box where the plant that has reached the growth period is stored is determined. The three-dimensional coordinate point is the target extract. The three-dimensional coordinate point corresponding to the target extract is used as the first transportation information and sent to the transportation module. The transparent culture box is transported to the second culture rack. If the plant on the second culture rack has reached the mature stage, the plant is transported to the third culture rack. On the second group of culture racks, the types of plants planted on the two adjacent active layers on the left and right may be different. At this time, the water pressure of the water delivery module can be adjusted. The water pressure is adjusted according to the distance between the water nozzle and the plant so that different types of plants can obtain a more suitable amount of water.

[0046] The transport module also includes a positioning unit and a judging unit.

[0047] The telescopic unit is specifically used to extend the movable plate 13 completely out of the culture rack and into the observation area, or completely out of the observation area and back into the culture rack. When the first judgment module sends the first transport information to the transport unit, the transport unit extends the target movable plate 13 completely out of the observation area through the telescopic unit according to the first transport information. Among them, there are two target movable plates 13, the first target movable plate 13 is the movable plate 13 on which the target plant is placed, and the other target movable plate 13 is the movable plate 13 on which the target plant is to be placed. That is, when the target plant is not placed, the placement position on the other target movable plate 13 does not have a transparent growth box 5.

[0048] The positioning unit is used to generate the observation area into a first three-dimensional coordinate system, and obtain the corresponding position of any movable plate 13 on the same culture rack extending to the observation area, and set a corresponding three-dimensional coordinate point for any placement position in the observation area; each three-dimensional coordinate point corresponds to the placement position of the transfer unit.

[0049] Specifically, the movable plates 13 on each culture rack are parallel to each other, and the placement positions on each movable plate 13 are fixed, the same in number, and the same in position, and the growth incubators are the same, that is, only the three-dimensional coordinate points of all the placement positions on one movable plate 13 on a culture rack need to be determined to determine the three-dimensional coordinate points of all the placement positions on the culture rack. In this way, not only the position of each placement position in the observation area can be accurately obtained, but also the position of each placement position in the observation area can be obtained more quickly and efficiently.

[0050] The first judgment subunit is used to judge whether the movable plate 13 is located in the observation area. If the movable plate 13 is located in the observation area, it is judged whether a growth incubator is placed on the placement position on the movable plate 13. If a growth incubator is placed, the corresponding three-dimensional coordinate point and extraction signal are sent to the transfer unit; the extraction signal is sent to the transfer unit.

[0051] The second judgment subunit is used to judge whether the movable plate 13 is located in the observation area. If the movable plate 13 is located in the observation area, it is judged whether a growth incubator is placed at the placement position on the movable plate 13. If no growth incubator is placed, the corresponding three-dimensional coordinate point and placement signal are sent to the transfer unit. The placement signal is sent to the transfer unit.

[0052] The third judgment subunit is used to judge whether the transfer unit has extracted the target transparent growth box 5; if the transfer unit has not extracted the target transparent growth box 5, the transfer unit continues to extract the target transparent growth box 5 according to the extraction signal; if the transfer unit has extracted the target transparent growth box 5, the target transparent growth box 5 is placed according to the placement signal.

[0053] Specifically, the telescopic module first fully extends the two target movable plates 13, the transfer unit extracts the target transparent growth box 5 according to the extraction signal sent by the first judgment subunit, and then places the target transparent growth box 5 according to the extraction signal sent by the second judgment subunit.

[0054] In this embodiment, the watering methods for plants of different growth cycles and different types can be obtained according to the operations of conventional technicians, and no examples are given here. Secondly, the height of each culture rack is the same, the distance between the upper and lower adjacent active layers in the first group of culture racks is set to the first distance, the distance between the upper and lower adjacent active layers in the second group of culture racks is set to the second distance, and the distance between the upper and lower adjacent active layers in the third group of culture racks is set to the third distance; wherein the first distance is smaller than the second distance, and the second distance is smaller than the third distance. The first distance, the second distance, and the third distance can be set according to the operations of conventional technicians. The growth cycle of different types of plants can be judged according to their growth height, which is a prior art.

[0055] A vertical stacking intelligent container system also includes a second judgment module. The monitoring waterer is also used to judge the type of plants cultivated in the active layer according to the monitoring image information. The second judgment module is used to judge the type of the plant and send a corresponding light signal to the lighting device 11. Specifically, if the plant is a shade-loving plant, the lighting device 11 is turned off; and the light intensity suitable for the plant is judged to send a light signal to adjust the light intensity of the lighting device.

[0056] The beneficial effects of this embodiment

[0057] Existing technology cannot solve the problem of cultivating multiple plants in one intelligent container. If multiple plants are planted in a container, workers are required to monitor the growth status of the plants at any time and carry out corresponding watering. In fact, it takes a lot of time to transport different growth incubators to different culture racks, which is extremely labor-intensive and cannot achieve the purpose of intelligent containers.

[0058] However, this embodiment is different from the existing intelligent container or ordinary container. The technical solution described in this embodiment is adopted. First, the limited space in the container is reasonably utilized to increase the number of cultivated plants and improve economic benefits. Next, the same plants are cultivated in the most adjacent movable boards and watered according to different groups of water nozzles. The most suitable watering method can be implemented for different plants to be suitable for cultivating different types of plants. Secondly, the growth rate, state and height of different plants are dynamically analyzed to more efficiently and quickly transfer plants with different growth cycles to suitable cultivation racks, ensuring that the plants have the best watering method in different growth periods and improving the product quality of the plants. Moreover, compared with the ordinary breeding method, the existing technology is a batch breeding, that is, a batch of plants are cultivated in a container at the same time and harvested at the same time. However, this embodiment breeds plants continuously, that is, when the young plants reach the growth period, they are transferred to the second group of cultivation racks, and the first group of cultivation racks can breed a new batch of plants, which greatly improves the efficiency and speed of breeding. Then, the water main is set above the cultivation area, and a sub-irrigator is set in the gap between two adjacent sub-cultivation areas; the movable plate can be extended to the observation area, which can be an aisle, and a transport module is set above the observation area, so that the space in the container is reasonably utilized to make the container more intelligent. Multiple intelligent devices are installed in different space areas of the container, integrating the space in the container, so that the cultivation area has more space to cultivate plants, increasing the yield of plants, thereby improving economic benefits. Finally, in this embodiment, an integrated intelligent implementation method of irrigation, lighting, transportation, etc. is realized, saving high labor costs.

[0059] Specifically, first, in the limited container space, different groups of culture racks are set according to different growth cycles. Each group of culture racks has a different number of active layers. The one with the largest number of active layers, that is, the distance between the upper and lower adjacent active layers is the smallest, and the young plants are shorter, which is suitable for the growth of young plants; the third group of culture racks has the least number of active layers, that is, the distance between the upper and lower adjacent active layers is the largest, and the mature plants are taller, which is suitable for the growth of mature plants. If all the culture racks in the box are set as the third group of culture racks, the planting area will be reduced. On the contrary, the arrangement of each group of culture racks in this embodiment can increase the planting area, thereby increasing production benefits.

[0060] Next, the growth cycles of the plants on different groups of culture racks are different. There are multiple types of plants planted on a single culture rack, and the types of plants on an active layer are the same; in each group of culture racks, all active layers located on the same horizontal plane correspond to a monitoring unit and an irrigation unit. The monitoring unit can analyze the growth cycle, growth state and type of the plants on the active layer located on the horizontal plane, and control the irrigation method of the irrigation unit, so that plants of different types and different growth cycles can be irrigated differently, so that different types of plants can grow better, and the product quality of the plants is improved.

[0061] Secondly, a monitoring watering device is set in the gap between two adjacent sub-cultivation areas, which does not occupy too much area, and the monitoring unit on the monitoring watering device can monitor different active layers in real time in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to obtain image information of the growth status of each plant in real time; since the growth speed of plants is different, the growth height of plants is a dynamic process, and the first judgment module is used to judge whether the growth cycle of the plants has changed. If it has changed, the plants are transported to the next group of cultivation racks through the transportation module. In this way, the growth speed, growth state and growth height of different plants are dynamically analyzed, and the plants with different growth cycles are more efficiently and quickly transported to the appropriate cultivation racks through the transportation module.

[0062] Moreover, when the young plants grow to the growth stage, they are transported to the second group of culture racks, and the first group of culture racks can be used to culture young plants again. Compared with the same batch culture, this continuous handover culture method has higher breeding efficiency and greater production output.

[0063] Then, a monitoring and watering sub-area is set in the gap between two adjacent sub-cultivation areas, and a water main is set above the sub-cultivation area. The observation area can be an aisle, and the movable board can extend into the aisle. The transport area transfers the plants on the aisle. Such a reasonable layout not only realizes the intelligence of each area, but also integrates the functions of each area. A single area can realize multiple functions. For example, the cultivation area can cultivate plants of different types and different growth cycles; the monitoring and watering area can integrate the monitoring and watering integrated design, and can accurately monitor and accurately water each active layer, and does not occupy too much area, leaving the area for the cultivation area to cultivate more plants; the observation area can not only transfer plants, but also facilitate workers to conduct manual observation and maintenance. The water main is located above the cultivation area and will not hinder the transfer work of the transfer unit located above the observation area.

[0064] Finally, this intelligent container is equipped with a monitoring unit, watering unit, transport module, lighting device and observation area, which realizes intelligent and manual integrated watering, lighting and transportation, greatly reduces labor costs, and improves production efficiency, production quality and production scale.
