Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a large-field agricultural situation monitoring system based on big data, and in particular to realizing the adjustment of the optimal water and fertilizer concentration through a cloud server and sending disaster warnings to mobile devices. Background Art

[0002] At present, the production mode of agriculture in China is still mainly traditional agriculture. The main characteristics of traditional agriculture are intensive cultivation, and it is difficult to resist natural disasters. And agricultural situation monitoring can effectively improve this problem. The acquisition of traditional agricultural situation information generally adopts the method of manual investigation and measurement. Obtaining agricultural situation information in this way not only takes time and effort, but also the accuracy is affected by the subjective factors of the operators. With the advent of the agricultural 4.0 era, various smart agriculture solutions have emerged like mushrooms after a spring rain. The existing agricultural situation monitoring solutions mainly have the following disadvantages:

[0003] (1) The growth of crops is generally monitored by optical cameras, which require high light in the fields and are difficult to monitor under conditions such as night and cloudy days.

[0004] (2) The monitoring of insect pests is also generally carried out by optical cameras. The traces of insect disasters on the leaves are similar to the colors of normal crops, and it is difficult for ordinary cameras to distinguish them. It is difficult to analyze the leaf pests by algorithms.

[0005] (3) A large-field agricultural situation monitoring system that uses drones to collect information can achieve large-area farmland coverage, strong timeliness and save manpower. However, relatively speaking, the cost is high and it is easily affected by the weather.

[0006] (4) The collection of soil information is generally realized by sensors. For large-scale planting in regions such as Xinjiang, it is necessary to adjust the soil moisture in real time according to the monitoring information.

[0007] (5) A large-field agricultural situation monitoring system that uses traditional servers to calculate and analyze data has its advantages in terms of resource quantity, performance and security, but the disadvantages are also obvious. There are problems in terms of maintenance, cost and convenience. The collection of agricultural situation information is different from the collection of commercial information. It does not require high security and performance, and is more inclined to low cost, simple maintenance and operation convenience.

[0008] (6) There is a lack of information interaction channels between the server and farmers, and there is no warning for special situations. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a large-field agricultural situation monitoring system based on big data and its working method, which can monitor the large-field agricultural situation in real time through an infrared thermal imaging device, calculate and control the adjustment of the soil moisture in real time through a cloud server, and send warning signals to the user's mobile device in scenarios such as insect disasters and droughts to ensure the normal growth of crops.

[0010] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0011] A large-field agricultural situation monitoring system based on big data, comprising a monitoring module, an execution module, a communication module, a cloud server, a central processor, and a solar panel. The acquisition end connected to the central processor includes four sub-modules: soil monitoring, climate monitoring, crop growth monitoring, and disaster monitoring, and the execution end includes a water and fertilizer regulation module, a pesticide application module, and a bird repelling module. The entire system is powered by a solar panel. The central processor is connected to the cloud server through the communication module. The cloud server calculates the collected data, controls the water and fertilizer regulation, analyzes the large-field agricultural situation information, and sends disaster and crop growth warnings to the user's mobile device when necessary by comparing with the database.

[0012] Further, the soil monitoring sub-module includes an EC sensor, a pH detector, and a soil temperature and humidity sensor, and is connected to the central processor.

[0018] Further, the bird repelling sub-module includes an intelligent bird repelling device and is connected to the central processor.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] (1) By using the cloud server to analyze and calculate the agricultural situation information, the maintenance cost is reduced.

[0021] (2) By connecting to the user's mobile device through the communication module, warnings and visual column analysis can be sent to the user, improving the operation convenience of the user.

[0022] (3) The crop growth monitoring module uses an infrared thermal imaging device, which is no longer limited in monitoring under cloudy and night environments, improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of agricultural situation monitoring.

[0023] (4) For pest monitoring, an automatic insect situation forecasting lamp is used. It automatically kills insects and uploads the records to the cloud server. When the pest data is abnormal, it automatically sends a warning to the user's mobile device, simplifying the user's operation.

[0024] (5) The soil moisture information is uploaded to the cloud server, and the optimal ratio of water and fertilizer concentration is calculated in real time. Fertilization is controlled through the central processing unit, further promoting agricultural automation and achieving the purpose of water-saving fertilization. Description of the Drawings

Specific implementation mode

[0036] In Figure 1 , the central processor sends the field agricultural situation data collected by the monitoring module to the cloud server through the communication module for storage, analysis and calculation, generates a visual column analysis and sends it to the user's mobile device. After receiving the disaster warning, the user can also control the cloud server to send a signal to the central processor through the mobile device to control the execution module to take measures.

[0037] In Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the functions included in the cloud server are disaster warning, crop growth warning, and calculation of the best water and fertilizer concentration. Among them, the disaster warning includes disasters such as insect disasters, bird disasters, and droughts. The insect disaster situation can be obtained through the data uploaded by the automatic insect situation forecasting lamp every day; the bird disaster and crop growth can both obtain corresponding image data through the infrared thermal imaging device; the drought can obtain the soil moisture data through the soil monitoring module; all the crop growth and water and fertilizer concentration data are stored in the cloud server, and the cloud server deeply analyzes these data, establishes correlation conditions for prediction, and sends a signal to the user when it is lower than the preset value.

[0038] In Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the execution module includes three aspects: water and fertilizer regulation, pesticide application, and bird repelling. The bird repelling function is realized by the bird repelling device. The system defaults to turn on detection. When it detects that birds are approaching, the system is enabled to emit ultrasonic waves to stimulate the nervous system of the birds, and at the same time, it scares away the birds by simulating the sound source of eagles, etc. In the case of flying birds approaching at night, according to the habit that birds are afraid of flashes, the system is enabled to use stroboscopic strong light to stimulate the visual system of the birds and destroy the living environment of the birds, so as to drive the birds away from the defense area, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing bird damage and ensuring the safety of crops.

[0039] In Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, the monitoring module includes a soil monitoring sub-module, a climate monitoring sub-module, a seedling condition monitoring sub-module, and a pest condition monitoring sub-module. The soil monitoring sub-module includes an EC sensor, a pH detector, and a soil temperature and humidity sensor. Among them, the EC sensor is used to monitor the water and fertilizer concentration, the pH detector is used to monitor the soil acidity and alkalinity, and the soil temperature and humidity sensor is used to monitor the soil temperature and humidity. The climate monitoring sub-module includes an air temperature and humidity sensor, a light intensity sensor, a wind speed and direction sensor, and a rainfall sensor. The data of the climate monitoring module is transmitted to the cloud server through the central processor, and by analyzing and calculating, it is judged whether the current field crops need irrigation. The seedling condition monitoring sub-module has an infrared thermal imaging device, and users can observe the growth of crops at any time through thermal imaging. The pest monitoring sub-module includes an automatic pest forecasting lamp, which uses modern light, electricity, and numerical control technologies to automatically complete system operations such as attracting insects, killing insects, collecting, and packaging under unattended supervision, and is automatically uploaded to the cloud server through the central processor. The server automatically records the collected data every day to form a pest database.

[0040] In Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, a solar + lithium battery power supply method is adopted. The lithium battery mainly has the characteristics of large energy storage, no memory effect, low loss, and recyclability. The photovoltaic panel converts solar energy into electrical energy, stores the energy in the lithium battery through the charging circuit and the voltage stabilizing circuit, and supplies power to the execution module, such as solenoid valves, bird repellers, etc. through the boost circuit. In addition, the lithium battery also supplies power to the monitoring module through the buck circuit, such as the soil temperature and humidity sensor, the light intensity sensor, etc. It should be noted that the power supply of the wireless communication module is supplied by the lithium battery through the buck circuit. The power supply is the foundation for the system to run and maintain a connected state for a long time. When selecting the entire power supply module, characteristics such as high conversion efficiency and reverse current protection need to be considered to be applicable to various complex environments and ensure the stable operation of each electronic device.

[0041] In Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the water and fertilizer regulation is realized by the central processor controlling the opening and closing of solenoid valves for different types of fertilizer solutions. The real-time regulation of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizer solutions, acid-base solutions, and liquid medicines can provide the best environment for crops. The overall realization is through the drip irrigation method, and the purpose of water-saving irrigation and fertilization can also be achieved. The calculation of the optimal water and fertilizer concentration at each stage of the crop is realized by the cloud server.

[0042] In Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the power supply module, the central processor, the monitoring module, the control module, and the wireless communication module are integrated on a vertical pole, which improves the stability, reduces the cost, and is convenient for maintenance compared with some current drone monitoring systems.
