[0038] Figure 2 The flow chart of a farmland precise irrigation system based on blockchain provided by the present invention. Specific embodiments

[0039] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments deduced by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention provide a farmland precise irrigation system based on blockchain. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the system includes a number of data acquisition sensors, a sprinkler device, an Internet of Things gateway, a cloud computing platform, and a mobile device. Transparency among supply chain stakeholders is maintained through multi-party consensus, and smart contracts ensure automatic execution of transactions when specified functional sets are met.

[0041] In this embodiment, data acquisition sensors are used to monitor the environmental parameters of the farmland and the growth status of crops in real time, so as to provide accurate data for subsequent irrigation decisions. The data acquisition sensors include soil temperature sensors, soil humidity sensors, soil pH sensors, meteorological sensors, water level sensors, flow sensors, crop growth monitors, etc. By integrating the sensor unit, the precise water level required for crop irrigation is automatically measured, and the sensor data is sent to an external server unit for monitoring the water level.

[0042] In this embodiment, the sprinkler device is used as the actuator of the irrigation system. By receiving the control instructions sent by the cloud computing platform after calculation and processing, it performs irrigation at fixed points and in fixed quantities. In the case of a decrease in the water level, the integrated sensor unit will trigger an alarm signal and call the sprinkler device to perform irrigation operations.

[0043] In this embodiment, an Internet of Things gateway is used as an intermediary for data transmission to ensure real-time uploading and stable transmission of data. The sensor readings are sent to a microcontroller unit with 8 analog inputs and a 5V direct output. The data is sent using the Internet of Things gateway, and the exchange is carried out through the low-power narrow-band Internet of Things protocol NB-IoT, with a delay of approximately 200 ms.

[0044] In this embodiment, a cloud computing platform is used for data storage, processing, and analysis. The platform adopts big data analysis technology to calculate the potential water requirement and the actual water requirement of crops for the collected and integrated soil data, meteorological data, water resource data, and crop data of the farmland to be detected, and calculates the irrigation water volume through the water balance equation to autonomously adjust the farmland irrigation strategy.

[0045] The algorithms and detection specific processes of the cloud computing platform are as follows:

[0046] The first step: Collect and integrate the farmland data obtained by the data acquisition sensors and the latest weather forecast data obtained from the Internet to form a complete data set;

[0047] The second step: Preprocess the data, including data cleaning, missing value filling, and outlier detection, to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data;

[0048] The third step: Apply the following formula to analyze the processed data and evaluate the appropriate irrigation water volume under the current crop growth conditions.

[0049] The calculation formula for the potential water requirement ET0 is:

[0050]

[0051] Where, P0 is the standard atmospheric pressure; P is the average atmospheric pressure at the calculation location; Δ is the saturated water vapor pressure at the average temperature; γ is the hygrometer constant; R n is the net solar radiation; E2 is the drying power.

[0052] The calculation formula for the actual water requirement ET of crops is:

[0053] ET = K C ×ET0

[0054] Where, K C is the crop coefficient, which not only varies with the crop but also with the growth stage of the crop.

[0055] The calculation formula for the irrigation water volume M is:

[0056] M = ET + W t -W0 - W T -P0 - K

[0057] Among them, W0 and W t are the water storage in the planned soil wetting layer at the beginning of the time period and at any time t; W T is the increased water volume due to the increase in the planned wetting layer; K is the groundwater recharge volume during the time period t.

[0058] Step 4: According to the analysis results, generate an intelligent irrigation decision to determine the optimal irrigation volume and time.

[0059] Step 5: Transmit the decision result to the actuator of the irrigation system to perform automatic irrigation.

[0060] Step 6: Monitor the irrigation execution process, collect feedback data in real time, conduct effect evaluation, and adjust the irrigation strategy as needed.

[0061] Step 7: Regularly update the model, combine new data and feedback, continuously optimize the irrigation decision, and improve the intelligence level of the system.

[0062] In this embodiment, a mobile application installed on a mobile device provides a user interaction interface, allowing users to monitor the irrigation status in real time, view sensor data, set irrigation plans, and receive warning notifications. At the same time, it supports users to remotely control the functions of the system to ensure that users can make scientific decisions and management based on real-time data.

[0063] In this embodiment, using blockchain technology as the underlying layer, adopting a decentralized data storage method to ensure the security and consistency of data sharing among all parties. At the same time, through smart contracts, operations under preset conditions are automatically executed to promote information transparency and efficient collaboration among all participating parties (such as farmers, quality inspection units, transportation units, warehousing units, suppliers, consumers, etc.).

[0064] In this embodiment, in order to achieve automatic payment, a smart contract running on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is designed, and this contract processes transactions as EVM bytecodes. Specifically, this contract can automatically process payment transactions according to preset conditions. For example, when specific agricultural conditions (such as crop growth status or meteorological data) are met, it automatically triggers payments to relevant participating parties (such as farmers and quality inspection units), thereby simplifying the transaction process and improving efficiency.

[0065] In this embodiment, the agricultural supply chain integrated by blockchain technology mainly includes the following key business roles:

[0066] Farmers: Responsible for the cultivation of crops, providing a suitable planting environment, and ensuring the precise irrigation of crops;

[0067] Quality inspection units: Ensure the quality and yield of crops through a series of strict quality inspections;

[0068] Transportation unit: Transport crops to the warehouse safely and in a timely manner, and ensure that the pressure, temperature, and humidity conditions during transportation meet fixed requirements;

[0069] Warehousing unit: Responsible for packaging and storing crops, and ensure that the quality of crops is not affected;

[0070] Supplier: Provide retail business of selling crops to individual consumers;

[0071] Consumer: Purchase crops and provide feedback on product quality and safety to producers and quality inspection units;

[0072] Traceability platform operator: Analyze and process farmland data through steps such as collection, storage, retrieval, processing, and conversion, maintain the stable operation of the platform, and provide traceability services.

[0073] In this embodiment, the smart contract involves decentralization-based automation. All business roles deposit assets into the smart contract, and the assets are redistributed among the parties according to defined criteria and rules. The smart contract is self-verifying, self-executing, and tamper-proof. It automates the process and ensures a higher level of security. The specific process is as follows:

[0074] The smart contract based on farmers and the irrigation system fixes the irrigation volume and frequency required during the crop growth process, takes the event that the crop reaches a predetermined growth stage or specific environmental conditions as a trigger, and automatically executes the smart contract during irrigation. The smart contract will automatically adjust the irrigation plan according to real-time weather data (such as rainfall, temperature, humidity) and soil moisture sensor data. The irrigation system will only be activated when the monitoring data indicates that the crop needs irrigation. At the same time, the smart contract will record the detailed information of each irrigation, including time, water volume, and irrigation area, to ensure that the crop receives an appropriate amount of water under the best growth conditions, thereby improving crop yield and quality.

[0075] The triggers of the smart contract during irrigation include soil moisture and weather changes. When the data of the soil moisture sensor is lower than the preset threshold or there is a drought, the smart contract automatically activates the irrigation system.

[0076] The smart contract will perform condition verification after each irrigation. The conditions include environmental factors and crop growth status. Verify whether the environmental conditions and crop growth after irrigation meet agricultural standards through the data of multiple sensors.

[0077] The smart contract based on farmers and the quality inspection unit fixes the quality and yield during crop quality inspection, takes the event that the crop reaches maturity as a trigger, and automatically executes the smart contract during quality inspection. Only when it is ensured that the credentials uploaded by farmers meet the yield and quality requirements, can the crop pass the quality inspection and enter the transportation process.

[0078] The smart contract based on the quality inspection unit and the transportation unit fixes the pressure on the crops, the temperature and humidity during the transportation process, and uses the event of the crops arriving at the warehouse as a trigger to automatically execute the smart contract at the time of delivery. Only when it is ensured that the pressure, temperature, and humidity during the transportation of the crops meet the requirements, will the warehousing operation be carried out.

[0079] The smart contract based on the transportation unit and the warehousing unit fixes the temperature, humidity, and storage capacity of the warehouse, and uses the event of leaving the warehouse as a trigger condition to automatically execute the smart contract when leaving the warehouse. Only when the stored temperature, humidity, and storage capacity meet the established standards, will the handover work between the supplier and the warehousing unit be carried out.

[0080] The smart contract based on the supplier and the consumer fixes the quality of the agricultural products and the transparency of the supply chain, and uses the consumer's purchase behavior as a trigger to automatically execute the smart contract at the time of delivery. The smart contract will automatically verify the authenticity and compliance of the product based on the traceability information, quality inspection report, and supply chain record data of the agricultural products. Only when it is ensured that the agricultural products meet the predetermined quality standards and supply chain requirements, will the transaction be completed and delivered to the consumer. At the same time, the smart contract will record the detailed information of each transaction, including the purchase time, product type, quantity, and price, to ensure that consumers can obtain transparent and reliable product information when purchasing, thereby enhancing consumer trust and market competitiveness.

[0081] In this embodiment, the smart contract is deterministic, forming an auditable, chronological, and immutable block, which is verified by the consensus mechanism and added to each stakeholder chain. Therefore, if there is a problem at any point in the chain, the source of the security problem can be found according to the chronological order. As Figure 2 shown, the working process of the precise irrigation system based on the blockchain is as follows:

[0082] In a blockchain-based precision irrigation system, the addition of new users or farmers follows a strict process to ensure the security of the system and the rational allocation of resources. First, new members must be recognized by other participants in the system through a consensus mechanism, which involves verifying the identity and qualifications of the new members. Once consensus is reached, the system creates a new block for the new user on the blockchain, which records the user's basic information and the details of their joining the system. Subsequently, the system automatically executes preset smart contracts, which contain the rules and conditions for irrigation management, such as soil temperature and humidity, weather forecasts, and crop requirements. The smart contracts check whether these conditions are met. If they are, the system initiates a transaction, which involves the allocation of water resources and the formulation of irrigation plans. After the transaction is initiated, the system verifies its validity to ensure that it complies with the rules of the smart contract and that there are sufficient water resources to execute it. If the transaction is verified, the management right of water resource irrigation will be transferred to the user or farmer, enabling them to manage irrigation according to their own needs. Finally, the information of the new user or farmer and the details of the transaction will be permanently recorded on the blockchain to ensure the transparency and immutability of all operations. This process not only improves the efficiency of water resource management but also enhances the trust among users because all transactions are publicly accessible, thus ensuring the transparency and traceability of the entire irrigation process.

[0083] Functional characteristics of this system:

[0084] 1. Real-time monitoring and decision support: The system provides real-time monitoring of key parameters such as irrigation status and crop growth conditions through a mobile application and a cloud computing platform. Users can view the real-time data of the agricultural environment at any time, quickly respond to changes, and ensure timely adjustment of irrigation strategies to improve crop growth efficiency.

[0085] 2. Precision automation and remote control: The system uses Internet of Things technology to achieve remote automation control of irrigation equipment. Based on real-time analysis of sensor data and the cloud computing platform, the system can automatically adjust the irrigation volume and irrigation time to ensure precise and efficient irrigation.

[0086] 3. Precision irrigation saves water resources: Through data analysis and model prediction, the system can adjust the irrigation volume in real time to achieve precision irrigation and avoid waste of water resources. According to different crop types and growth stages, the system can automatically optimize the irrigation cycle and water volume to ensure that crops develop in the best growth environment while saving precious water resources.

[0087] 4. Data security traceability: The present invention ensures the security, transparency, and immutability of all data in the system through blockchain technology. All farmland data, irrigation records, and payment information are stored in the blockchain, ensuring the authenticity and traceability of the data, preventing tampering and forgery, and enhancing the trust in agricultural management. The system's data traceability ability enables the entire process of agricultural products from planting to sales to be traced, enhancing security.
