BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] Figure 1 is a plan view illustrating the overall structure of a production line of a crop planting factory implementing the crop planting method of the present invention according to a first embodiment of the present invention; and

[0040] Figure 2 1 is a plan view illustrating the overall structure of a production line of a crop planting factory for implementing the crop planting method of the present invention according to a second embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The method for planting crops in a planting base of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative and are only used to illustrate the principles of the present invention rather than to limit the present invention.

[0042] In the process of modern industrial development, the emergence of assembly lines has greatly improved productivity. For agriculture, if crops, such as vegetables, flowers, fruits, etc., can also be produced in the form of production lines, then production efficiency will undoubtedly be greatly improved, thereby increasing the level of income. The technical solution of the present invention is conceived based on such a breakthrough idea.

[0043] The method to achieve such an operation mode is to move the land in an orderly manner and combine it with the various stages of the crop growth process. The patent of this invention is to conceive an ingenious method to reduce the cost of land movement while improving the work efficiency of labor and machinery to minimize the investment.

[0044] The method for planting crops of the present invention is carried out in a planting base, which includes but is not limited to a crop planting factory such as a planting greenhouse, a planting plant, etc., and a production line is arranged in the planting base. The planting base preferably adopts a planting plant. In the case of adopting a planting plant, the planting plant can be kept at an appropriate temperature all year round by air conditioning, wherein the appropriate temperature varies depending on the crops planted, so that the planting of crops is not affected by the season, and sowing can be carried out every day or at fixed time intervals for 365 days a year.

[0045] See first Figure 1 , which illustrates in the form of a plan view the overall structure of a production line of a crop planting factory for implementing the crop planting method of the present invention according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and such a production line can be used to implement the assembly line operation of crop planting. In the following description, for the sake of ease of description, it is assumed that the growth cycle of crops is 60 days, the production line includes 100 planting operation lines, and each planting operation line includes 60 workstations.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the planting base is divided into 100 planting operation lines 10. For the convenience of description, the 100 planting operation lines are called 1# planting operation line, 2# planting operation line, ..., 100# planting operation line from top to bottom.

[0047] The present invention can adopt a soilless cultivation method (soilless cultivation with a substrate, the substrate can be an organic substrate, a mixed substrate or an inorganic substance such as gravel), and the substrate is placed in a planting box (also called a planting box, a planting tray) 13, the planting box includes a bottom wall and a side wall, and the top is open. The size of the planting box can be, for example, 0.3 meters * 1 meter * 2 meters (height * width * length), and crops are planted in the planting box. Of course, the present invention can also adopt other cultivation methods, such as hydroponics, and the specific cultivation method is not particularly limited in the present invention.

[0048] Continue to see Figure 1 , multiple planting boxes can be placed adjacent to each planting line. According to the technical solution of the present invention, as a preferred solution, the number of planting boxes on each planting line can be determined according to the crop growth cycle. For example, assuming that the crop growth cycle is 60 days, sixty planting boxes can be placed adjacent to each other in sequence along each planting line, and each planting box occupies a work station. For the convenience of description, the sixty work stations are called 1# work station, 2# work station..., 60# work station from left to right; the sequence formed by various planting boxes on a planting line is called a row, and the sequence formed by various planting boxes on the same numbered work stations on different planting lines is called a column; the extension direction of the planting line is called the longitudinal direction, and the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is called the transverse direction.

[0049] Each planting line can be equipped with an elevated rail (not shown) extending along the planting line. A crane is arranged on the elevated rail. The crane can move along the elevated rail under the control of the operator to move the planting box on the corresponding planting line or the newly planted planting box to a designated position. The present invention does not specifically limit the means for moving the planting box. As an optional technical solution, for example, the planting box can be moved by manual transportation, or other means known to those skilled in the art can be used.

[0050] A harvesting / storage and transportation line 16 is provided at the longitudinal left end of each planting operation line, and a guide rail 17 is provided along the harvesting / storage and transportation operation line. The two tracks 18 of the guide rail are spaced apart from each other, and a planting box can be placed between the two tracks. The harvesting / storage and transportation operation line can be equipped with a harvesting and transporting trolley 19, which can move along the guide rail. The harvesting personnel can use the harvesting and transporting trolley to sequentially transfer the various planting boxes on the harvesting / storage and transportation operation line to the harvesting station A located at the end of the harvesting / storage and transportation operation line. The harvesting and transporting trolley 19 is parked in a parking position when not in operation. The parking position can be located, for example, at the bottom of the harvesting / storage and transportation operation line. Figure 1 shown.

[0051] A sowing / transfer line 20 is provided at the longitudinal right end of each planting operation line, and a guide rail 21 is laid along the sowing / transfer operation line. The two tracks 22 of the guide rail are spaced apart from each other, and a planting box can be placed between the two tracks. The sowing / transfer operation line can be equipped with a sowing transport trolley 23, which can move along the guide rail. The transfer personnel can use the sowing transport trolley to transfer the planting box located at the end of the sowing / transfer operation line (the lower end as shown in the figure) to the sowing station located on the sowing / transfer operation line. The sowing transport trolley 23 is parked in a parking position when not in operation. The parking position can be located at the lower end of the sowing / transfer operation line, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0052] Continue to see Figure 1 The production line also includes a planting box transfer line 25 adjacent to the 100# planting operation line. The planting box transfer line is equipped with a guide rail 27. The guide rail includes rails 28 located on both sides of the planting box transfer line and spaced apart from each other and equipped with a transfer transport trolley 26. The transfer transport trolley 26 can move along the guide rail. When not working, the transfer transport trolley is parked in a parking position. The parking position can be located at the leftmost end of the transfer conveyor line, such as Figure 1 The transfer trolley is used to move the harvested planting box to a designated position on the transfer conveyor line or to the sowing / transfer operation line.

[0053] The operation mode of the crop production line of the present invention is described below.

[0054] Planter Box Preparation

[0055] As described above, the present invention can adopt soilless cultivation with a substrate, and for this purpose, an organic substrate, a mixed substrate or an inorganic substrate such as gravel needs to be placed in a planting box. In the case where 100 planting lines are set up in the planting base as described above, and 60 planting boxes are placed in each production line, 60*100=6000 planting boxes need to be prepared, and each planting box is filled with a soilless cultivation substrate.

[0056] Initial planting

[0057] Day 1: Planting box transportation Workers use the planting transport cart 23 to transport the planting boxes placed at the end of the planting / transfer line to the planting stations corresponding to the 100 planting lines in sequence; at the same time, the workers in charge of planting sow the planting boxes transported to the planting stations. After sowing, the sown planting boxes are moved to the 1# station of the corresponding planting line by crane or other means. After the day's work is completed, there is a planted planting box at the 1# station of each planting line.

[0058] Day 2

[0059] Planting box transport workers use planting transport carts to transport planting boxes placed at the end of the planting / transfer line to the planting stations corresponding to the 100 planting lines in turn; at the same time, the workers in charge of planting sow the planting boxes transported to the planting stations. After sowing, the sowing boxes are moved to the 2# station of the corresponding planting line by crane or other means. After the day's work is completed, each planting line has 2 planting boxes, located at 1# station and 2# station respectively.

[0060] The work from the 3rd day to the 58th day thereafter is similar to that described above, and its description is omitted for the sake of brevity.

[0061] Day 59

[0062] The planting box transport workers use the planting transport cart to transport the planting boxes placed at the end of the planting / transfer operation line to the planting stations corresponding to the 100 planting operation lines in turn; at the same time, the workers in charge of planting sow the planting boxes transported to the planting stations. After sowing, the sowing boxes are moved to the 59# station of the corresponding planting operation line by crane or other means. After the day's work is completed, each planting operation line has 59 planting boxes, located at stations 1# to 59#.

[0063] Day 60

[0064] The workers who transport the planting boxes use the planting and transporting carts to transport the planting boxes placed at the end of the planting / transfer line to the planting stations corresponding to the 100 planting lines in turn; at the same time, the workers in charge of planting sow the planting boxes transported to the planting stations. After sowing, the sowing boxes are moved to the 60# station of the corresponding planting line by crane or other means. In this way, each planting line has 60 planting boxes, located at stations 1# to 60#. Afterwards, the planting boxes at station 1# on the planting line (i.e., the planting boxes with the earliest planting date) are moved forward to the harvesting / storage and transportation line by crane or other means, and station 1# is vacated as a placement station for newly planted planting boxes (in addition to moving the planting boxes at station 1# on the planting line forward to the harvesting / storage and transportation line on the same day, as another solution, the planting boxes at station 1# on the planting line can also be moved forward to the harvesting / storage and transportation line on the next day). The work is completed for the day.

[0065] For the convenience of explanation, in the following and other parts of this application, when sowing is completed on the 60th day, there are 60 planting boxes on each planting operation line, located at workstation #1 to workstation #60 respectively, the side where workstation #1 is located is called the front side, and the side where workstation #60 is located is called the rear side.

[0066] Standard Work

[0067] Day 61

[0068] The harvesting workers use the harvesting and transporting cart 19 to move the planting boxes on the harvesting / storage and transportation line corresponding to the 100# planting operation line (downward in the figure) to the harvesting station A, and harvest the mature crops; the harvested planting boxes are first transported by the transfer workers using the transfer and transporting cart 26 to the sowing / transit line via the planting box transfer line 25, and then transported to the planting station corresponding to the 1# planting operation line using the sowing and transporting cart 23; and the sowing workers sow the transported planting boxes.

[0069] Next, the harvester uses the harvester transport trolley 19 to transport the planting boxes on the harvesting / storage and transportation line corresponding to the 99# planting line to the harvesting station A, and harvests the mature crops; the harvested planting boxes are first transported to the sowing / transfer line by the transfer worker using the transfer transport trolley 26, and then transported to the planting station corresponding to the 2# planting line using the sowing transport trolley 23. The sowing worker sows the transported planting boxes.

[0070] Subsequent operations continue according to the above steps until all the planting boxes on the harvesting / storage and transportation operation line are harvested.

[0071] Then, the newly planted planting box on the planting station is moved forward to the 1# station of the corresponding planting line by crane or other means, and the planting box on the 2# station on the planting line is moved forward to the harvesting / storage and transportation line (as mentioned above, the planting box on the 2# station on the planting line can also be moved forward to the harvesting / storage and transportation line on the next day, which will not be repeated below for the sake of simplicity), and the 2# station is vacated for the placement of the newly planted planting box. The work for the day is completed.

[0072] Day 62

[0073] The harvesting workers use the harvesting and transporting cart 19 to move the planting boxes on the harvesting / storage and transportation line to the harvesting station A in turn, and harvest the mature crops; the harvested planting boxes are transported by the transfer workers using the transfer and transporting cart 26 via the planting box transfer line 25 to the sowing / transit line, and then transported to the corresponding planting station on the planting line using the sowing transport cart 23, and the sowing workers sow the transported planting boxes.

[0074] Then, use a crane or other means to move the planting boxes on the planting station forward to the 2# station of the corresponding planting line, and move the planting boxes on the 3# station on the planting line forward to the harvesting / storage and transportation line, and vacate the 3# station to be used as the placement station for the newly planted planting boxes. The work for the day is completed.

[0075] The work in the following days repeats the above operations every day, that is, the planting boxes on the harvesting / storage and transportation line are harvested, the harvested planting boxes are transferred to the sowing / transfer line for sowing, and then the newly sown planting boxes on the planting station are moved to the vacated placement station.

[0076] Day 120

[0077] The harvesting workers use the harvesting and transporting cart 19 to move the planting boxes on the harvesting / storage and transportation line to the harvesting station A in turn, and harvest the mature crops; the harvested planting boxes are transported by the transfer workers using the transfer and transporting cart 26 via the planting box transfer line 25 to the sowing / transit line, and then transported to the corresponding planting station on the planting line using the sowing transport cart 23, and the sowing workers sow the transported planting boxes.

[0078] Then, use a crane or other means to move the planting box on the planting station forward to the 60# station of the corresponding planting line, and move the planting box on the 1# station on the planting line forward to the harvesting / storage and transportation line, and vacate the 1# station to be used as the placement station for the newly planted planting box. The work for the day is completed.

[0079] The above operation is repeated in a cycle.

[0080] By adopting the technical solution of the present invention, since only the planting box with the earliest planting date on each planting operation line needs to be moved away from the work station at regular time intervals, the operation efficiency is greatly improved, and the utilization rate of mechanical equipment is improved when the planting box is moved away from the work station by using a crane, etc., and the labor intensity can be reduced and the cost can be greatly reduced.

[0081] In the technical scheme described above, the harvesting / storage operation line is located at the front side, and the sowing / transfer operation line is located at the rear side. As another alternative, it can also be arranged in reverse, that is, the harvesting / storage operation line is located at the rear side, and the sowing / transfer operation line is located at the front side.

[0082] In the technical solution described above, each planting operation line is equipped with an elevated guide rail (not shown) extending along the planting operation line, and a crane is installed on the elevated guide rail. The crane can move along the elevated track under the control of the operator to shift the planting boxes on the corresponding planting operation line or the newly planted planting boxes to the designated position. As an optional technical solution, an elevated guide rail extending along the corresponding planting box column can also be provided above each row of planting boxes, and a crane is installed on the elevated guide rail. The crane can move along the elevated track under the control of the operator to shift the planting boxes on the corresponding planting box column or the newly planted planting boxes to the designated position. In this case, the harvesting / storage and transportation operation line is set on one side of the horizontal direction perpendicular to the planting operation line, and the sowing / transit operation line is set on the other side of the horizontal direction perpendicular to the planting operation line, and the operation mode is adaptively adjusted.

[0083] The essence of the method for planting crops in a planting base of the present invention is that the planting base includes a production line, and the production line includes N planting operation lines, each planting operation line includes M workstations; N*M planting boxes are respectively placed on each workstation of the planting operation line; the planting date of each row of planting boxes is the same, and the M rows of device boxes include a row of newly planted planting boxes and a row of planting boxes with the earliest planting date, and the newly planted row of planting boxes and the row of planting boxes with the earliest planting date are arranged adjacent to each other (in the present invention, adjacent is understood in a broad sense, in addition to two rows of planting boxes that are adjacent to each other in space are called two adjacent rows of planting boxes, the row of planting boxes at the front side of the production line and the row of planting boxes at the rear side of the production line are also called two adjacent rows of planting boxes). In a planting box array consisting of a newly planted row of planting boxes and rows of seed placement boxes located in front of the newly planted row of planting boxes, the planting date of the planting boxes in the front row is earlier than the planting date of the planting boxes in the back row, and the time difference between the planting dates of any two adjacent rows of planting boxes is the same; in a planting box array consisting of a row of planting boxes with the earliest planting date and rows of device boxes located in the back of the row of planting boxes with the earliest planting date, the planting date of the planting boxes in the front row is earlier than the planting date of the planting boxes in the back row, and the time difference between the planting dates of any two adjacent rows of planting boxes is the same; the time difference multiplied by M is equal to the growth period of the crop ; The time difference between the planting date of the newly planted row of planting boxes and the planting date of the row of planting boxes with the earliest planting date is the time difference multiplied by M-1; the method for planting crops in the planting base includes: moving the row of planting boxes with the earliest planting date among the rows of planting boxes away from the planting operation line, and using the row of stations vacated after the row of planting boxes with the earliest planting date among the rows of planting boxes are moved away as the placement station for newly planted planting boxes; harvesting / storing and transporting the planting boxes moved away from the planting operation line; sowing the planting boxes to be planted and then transferring them to the placement station, or transferring the planting boxes to be planted to the placement station and then sowing them.

[0084] Therefore, the specific technical means for moving the planting boxes, the specific settings of the harvesting / storage and transportation operation lines and the sowing / transfer operation lines, etc. can be selected according to the specific circumstances, and the present invention does not make any special limitations.

[0085] In the scheme described above, each row of planting boxes includes one row of planting boxes, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Instead, a scheme may be adopted in which each row of planting boxes includes two or more rows of planting boxes, and the planting dates of the two or more rows of planting boxes are the same.

[0086] As a preferred technical solution, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the planting box after harvest can be sterilized and disinfected, and then the crops can be planted after sterilization and disinfection, so as to facilitate the growth of the crops. The sterilization and disinfection method can be carried out by using hot water, and the hot water can be obtained by solar heating.

[0087] Hot water is used for sterilization and disinfection. After hot water is injected into the planting box, the hot water can be kept for a period of time, then the water is drained and dried for a day.

[0088] In the case of the second embodiment, since the planting boxes that have just been harvested cannot be put into use immediately, another batch of planting boxes must be configured. If 100 planting lines are arranged in the planting base, and each planting line has 60 workstations, 100 more planting boxes need to be configured. Moreover, the production line structure and operation method are slightly different from the first embodiment above, as described below.

[0089] Differences in production line structure

[0090] According to the solution of the first embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the production line includes a planting box transfer line set up adjacent to the 100# planting operation line; see Figure 2 The production line of the second embodiment includes four planting box transfer lines 30, 31, 32 and 33 arranged adjacent to the 100# planting operation line, and each planting box transfer line is equipped with a corresponding transfer and handling vehicle 35, 36, 37 and 38. The four planting box transfer lines are divided into two groups, each group includes two planting box transfer lines. As an example of a division method, the planting box transfer lines 30 and 31 can be divided into one group, and the planting box transfer lines 32 and 33 can be divided into one group. One group is used to place the planting boxes that have just been harvested and are to be sterilized and disinfected on the same day; the other group is used to place the planting boxes that have been harvested and disinfected the day before and are used for sowing on the same day.

[0091] As described in the first embodiment, 100 planting operation lines are arranged in the planting base, and each planting operation line is provided with 60 workstations. Thus, the number of planting boxes harvested every day is 100, while the number of planting boxes that can be accommodated by one planting box transfer line is only 60; in order to accommodate the excess 40 planting boxes, one planting box transfer line needs to be added, so that a total of 4 planting box transfer lines can be provided.

[0092] If the number of planting operation lines arranged in the planting base is less than the number of workstations set for each planting operation line, it is sufficient to install two planting box transfer lines.

[0093] Differences in working methods

[0094] Before standard operation, 100 additional planting boxes need to be prepared in advance and placed on two planting box transfer lines of one group of planting box transfer lines. Since the two planting box transfer lines each include 60 workstations, and there are only 100 planting boxes prepared in advance, the number of planting boxes placed on each planting box transfer line can be determined at will, but the number must not be less than 40; and if the number of planting boxes on a planting box transfer line is less than 60, the arrangement of the planting boxes can also be random.

[0095] The following takes the example of 100 pre-prepared planting boxes placed on planting box transfer lines 30 and 31 respectively, the number of planting boxes on planting box transfer lines 30 and 31 is 50 each, and they are sequentially arranged at workstations 11-60; at the same time, 100 planting boxes that have been harvested on the same day and are to be sterilized and disinfected are placed on planting box transfer lines 32 and 33 respectively, the number of planting boxes on planting box transfer lines 32 and 33 is 50 each, and they are sequentially arranged at workstations 11-60, to explain the specific operation.

[0105] In the second embodiment given above, a total of 4 planting box transfer lines are provided. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the specific configuration of the planting box transfer lines can adopt other various structures. For example, if the structural space allows, a total of 2 planting box transfer lines can be provided, and each planting box transfer line extends to the right side of the figure, so that each planting box transfer line can accommodate 100 planting boxes. Alternatively, only three planting box transfer lines can be set up. When three planting box transfer lines are set up, the planting boxes can be arranged in the following manner, for example: the three planting box transfer lines are numbered 1# transfer line, 2# transfer line and 3# transfer line respectively, and the last 40 stations of the entire 1# transfer line and 2# transfer line are used to place the planting boxes that have been harvested the day before and sterilized and are used for sowing on the same day; the planting boxes that have just been harvested and are to be sterilized and sterilized on the same day are first placed on the 3# transfer line, and at the same time, the planting boxes that are used for sowing on the same day on the 2# transfer line are first moved to the sowing station for sowing; in this way, when the stations on the 3# transfer line have been occupied, the stations on the 2# transfer line have been vacated, and the planting boxes that have just been harvested and are to be sterilized and sterilized on the same day are then placed on, for example, the last 40 stations on the 2# transfer line.

[0106] In the technical solution described above, a harvesting / storage and transportation operation line is provided, and the planting boxes on the harvesting / storage and transportation operation line are moved to the harvesting station for harvesting. The present invention is not limited thereto, but may also adopt such a solution: the planting boxes on the harvesting / storage and transportation operation line are loaded as a whole onto a truck and transported to a designated location, and whether the planting box transfer line is provided may be determined according to actual conditions.

[0107] In the technical scheme described above, a crane, a harvesting and transporting trolley, a sowing and transporting trolley, and a transfer and transporting trolley are used to transport the planting boxes on the planting line, the harvesting / storage and transportation line, the sowing / transfer line, and the transfer conveyor line, respectively. However, this is only an example of the operation of the technical scheme of the present invention. In the prior art, any technical means that can realize the transportation of the planting boxes can be used. For example, a conveyor belt can be used to replace the other transporting trolleys mentioned above except the crane. The planting boxes are placed on the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is driven by, for example, a stepper motor, and moves forward one station at a time; or, the planting boxes can be transported manually.

[0108] The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with specific embodiments, but this is only for the purpose of illustration, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the technical spirit and scope of the present invention, and these changes and modifications should also be understood to belong to the scope of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is limited by the claimed technical solution and its equivalents.
