Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of intelligent planting, and in particular, relates to a planting system and method for mixed planting of plants. Background Art

[0002] Indoor plant factories are the highest stage of agricultural cultivation and the best way to make agricultural cultivation intelligent. In recent years, plant factory cultivation has emerged in North America, Europe and Asia. Since plant cultivation uses hydroponic or aeroponic technology, no soil or arable land is required, and the temperature, humidity and climate can be controlled indoors, and artificial light sources are used, indoor cultivation is not affected by seasons and can be planted and harvested all year round. It can also control pests and diseases to ensure the safety of planted vegetables and food.

[0003] Indoor cultivation can also control light sources, nutrition and irrigation, temperature and humidity, and carbon dioxide to make plants grow in the best conditions. Therefore, the yield, quality, and flavor are all guaranteed. However, compared with outdoor field cultivation, the cost of cultivation is still very high. It is necessary to reduce the cost of cultivation and effectively utilize the planting area, artificial light sources, and nutrition.

[0004] In the prior art, indoor planting systems are divided into large plant planting trays and small planting trays according to the size or height of the plants. Considering factors such as plant size, planting density, ventilation, etc., the tray designs vary. For large plants, such as Figure 1 As shown, generally one tray (area 1320*990mm, used for growing large plants, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, etc.) can grow 6 large plants. Therefore, 6 holes are usually opened evenly distributed on the tray, and each hole is fixed with a planting basket placed in the large hole of the tray. After transplanting large fruits and vegetables, it usually takes 6 to 12 months including growth and harvesting; during this period, the plants grow from seedlings to tall plants, and then go through flowering, fruiting and finally harvesting. During the process, artificial light is not fully utilized or the blank area of ​​the tray cannot be effectively utilized and is wasted. Especially in the period of about one to two months before the large plants grow up or bloom, the vegetation coverage area is very small, and most of the artificial light is wasted on the blank part of the panel. Even after the plants grow into large plants, there is still light passing through the gaps between the leaves and shining on the edge of the tray and being wasted. In addition, large plants are generally planted with large-power, high-intensity headlights. Because they are not fully utilized, there is a large waste of light or power consumption, which makes the planting cost inflated.

[0005] Patent document CN106888853A discloses a plant growth rack with high planting space and light energy utilization rate and a method for using the same, comprising a layer rack, each layer rack having first, second, third and fourth growth zones arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction, each growth zone having a different height, and a cultivation mechanism arranged therein, the cultivation mechanism having a plurality of detachable planting strips or planting blocks arranged therein, the distance between the planting strips or planting blocks gradually increasing with the growth of the plant, so as to ensure that the space utilization rate during the plant growth period is maximized. An LED light source having a lighting range consistent with the plant leaf expansion range and adjustable light intensity, light quality, lighting time and the height from the lamp bead to the plant canopy is arranged above the cultivation mechanism.

[0006] However, patent document CN106888853A cannot make good use of the light passing through the gaps between plant leaves.

[0007] Therefore, a technical solution is needed to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, thereby improving the planting efficiency and making full use of the light source. Summary of the invention

[0085] Step S6: placing the planting panel 3 in step S4 in the prepared planting box 4, and placing the planting box at a position that meets ventilation and lighting requirements.

[0086] Specifically, the principle of the present invention is: artificial light LED lamps provide illumination to plants, so that plants can carry out photosynthesis; generally, LED lamps are fixed directly above the plants, and the light shines down from above. Since the light has a certain angle, the illumination area will be larger than the lamp area. Make the light shine on the entire planting panel 3 as much as possible. Since plants require certain ventilation conditions, it is an ideal choice to plant a certain number of large plants on a planting panel, but there are still many places on the planting panel 3 that cannot be covered by plants (the edge of the planting panel 3, the area between plants), and a lot of light is irradiated on the blank panel and wasted; in addition, large plants require different light at different stages or heights, and thus the utilization rate of light is also different; when the plant is relatively small, more light is wasted. Considering that different plants have leaf surfaces of different sizes, the light used and wasted is also different. The present invention densely arranges small plant planting basket placement holes 62 between the surrounding parts of the planting panel 3 and the large plant planting basket placement holes 61, so as to plant short plants, such as lettuce, green vegetables, etc.; so that short plants can be planted while planting large plants (such as cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.). Figure 5 As shown, taking the planting panel 3 provided with 6 large plant planting basket placement holes 61 as an example, 150 small plant planting basket placement holes 62 are reasonably arranged for the planting of dwarf plants through the space occupied by dwarf plants; without affecting the original planting of 6 large plants, 150 small plants can be planted. Due to the different growth cycles of large plants and dwarf plants, more specifically, the number of large plant planting basket placement holes 61 is 6, with a diameter of 3.75 inches, and the number of small plant planting basket placement holes 62 is 122, with a diameter of 2 inches, arranged at a spacing of 76.2 mm, and a total of 164 vegetables can be planted. If the growth cycle of large plants is 6 to 12 months, the growth cycle of small vegetables is calculated as one month. In each large vegetable planting cycle, 984 to 1968 more vegetables can be planted, if one is sold at 200 grams or 10 yuan. In a large fruit and vegetable planting cycle, each planting tray can increase the income of green leafy vegetables by 200 to 400 kilograms or 9840 yuan to 19680 yuan. This greatly improves planting efficiency and economic income. Taking cucumber and lettuce as examples, the growth cycle of cucumber can be from August to September, while that of lettuce only needs four weeks; therefore, planting cucumbers once can yield 1,200 to 1,350 more lettuces; and the growth cycle of cherry tomatoes is one year, so planting tomatoes once can yield at least 1,500 more lettuces.

[0087] In the early stage of planting large plants, since the height of dwarf plants is not high, they will not affect the ventilation of large plants. Therefore, dwarf plants can be planted at the maximum density. As large plants grow, the leaves of the plants may block some light, but the light blocking effect can be improved by leaf removal (removing useless leaves); at the same time, the photovoltaic demand of dwarf plants is smaller than that of large plants, and partial light blocking will not have a significant impact on their growth.

[0088] Among them, the large plants are taller than the small plants. In a preferred example, the height of the large plants above the planting panel 3 is more than 3 times the height of the small plants above the planting panel 3, and the maximum width of the large plants above the planting panel 3 is more than 2 times the maximum width of the small plants above the planting panel 3.

[0089] In summary, the present invention provides a planting system for mixed planting of plants. By planting plants in a mixed manner, the space utilization rate, photoelectric utilization rate and efficiency are improved, photoelectric waste is reduced and planting costs are reduced, and the technical problems in the prior art that light cannot be fully utilized, resulting in large waste of light or power consumption, and resulting in inflated planting costs, etc. In the middle and late stages of large-scale growth, it is usually necessary to break leaves and branches so that plant nutrients can be supplied to the tops of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it will not affect the ventilation and lighting of dwarf plants, and a certain density can be planted.
