Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent agricultural management, and in particular to an intelligent monitoring and management system for the entire life cycle of edible fungi. Background Art

[0002] As a type of agricultural product with both nutritional and economic value, edible fungi occupy an important position in people's daily diet and agricultural economy. As people's attention to healthy diet continues to increase, the market demand for edible fungi continues to grow, which has promoted the rapid development of the edible fungi industry. However, the current edible fungi cultivation and management still mostly remain in the traditional model, with many obvious shortcomings:

[0003] During the growth of edible fungi, environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light, and carbon dioxide concentration play a key role in their development. However, existing monitoring methods often rely on simple instruments with limited accuracy and poorly distributed distribution, failing to fully and accurately reflect the true state of the cultivation environment. For example, in large mushroom houses, temperature and humidity sensors are only installed in a few fixed locations, making it difficult to capture changes in environmental parameters throughout the space. This can easily lead to localized unsuitable conditions for edible fungi growth going undetected.

[0004] Traditional mushroom cultivation management relies primarily on manual experience, requiring regular inspections and operations. This approach is not only inefficient but also susceptible to human influence, resulting in untimely and inaccurate management. For example, due to negligence or lack of experience, workers may fail to detect abnormal changes in environmental parameters or fail to accurately control environmental conditions when adjusting them, thus affecting mushroom growth and yield. Furthermore, manual management makes it difficult to dynamically adjust to the needs of mushrooms at different growth stages in real time, failing to fully meet optimal growth conditions.

[0005] Due to inadequate environmental monitoring and management, edible fungi are more susceptible to pests and diseases during their growth. Traditional pest control methods, which primarily rely on chemical agents, not only pollute the environment but can also lead to excessive pesticide residues in edible fungi products, compromising food safety. Furthermore, the lack of effective monitoring methods often makes it difficult to detect pests and diseases in their early stages and implement targeted control measures, allowing them to spread and causing significant economic losses to growers.

[0006] Traditional cultivation models provide limited data recording and analysis of mushroom growth. Farmers often rely on experience and memory to summarize challenges and lessons learned, making it difficult to develop systematic, scientific cultivation plans. This lack of historical data analysis and mining hinders farmers' ability to accurately understand the relationship between mushroom growth and environmental factors, making it difficult to achieve precise cultivation and management, and thus hindering technological innovation and development in the industry.

[0007] In summary, existing edible fungus cultivation and management technologies have many shortcomings. A more intelligent and precise monitoring and management system is urgently needed to address these issues, improve the yield and quality of edible fungi, and promote the sustainable development of the edible fungus industry. Therefore, we propose an intelligent monitoring and management system for the entire life cycle of edible fungi. Summary of the Invention

[0037]

[0038]

[0039] Code Explanation:

[0040] Data collection module: The data_collection function simulates the sensor collecting environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity.

[0041] Data processing center: The data_processing function determines whether the collected environmental parameters are within the appropriate range.

[0042] Intelligent control module: The intelligent_control function decides whether to start the corresponding environmental adjustment equipment based on the data processing results.

[0043] Warning module: The warning function issues a warning message when the environmental parameters are abnormal.

[0044] Main program: Through an infinite loop, data is collected every 5 seconds, and data processing, intelligent control and early warning operations are performed.

[0045] Example 2: Intelligent Monitoring and Management System for the Full Lifecycle of Edible Mushrooms: A medium-sized edible mushroom cultivation base was selected to grow common shiitake mushroom varieties. The base had multiple greenhouses, each approximately 500 square meters in size, which were used for the full lifecycle of shiitake mushroom cultivation, from seed cultivation to harvesting.

[0046] System Setup: Data Acquisition Module: Environmental Parameter Sensors: Temperature, humidity, light, and CO2 sensors are distributed throughout each greenhouse. For example, a set of sensors is installed in each of the four corners and the center of the greenhouse to ensure comprehensive and accurate collection of environmental parameters. The temperature sensor is a high-precision digital temperature sensor with a measurement range of -20°C to 80°C and an accuracy of ±0.1°C. The humidity sensor has a measurement range of 0% to 100% relative humidity (RH) with an accuracy of ±3% RH. The light sensor measures light intensity from 0 to 100,000 lux with an accuracy of ±5%. The CO2 sensor has a measurement range of 0 to 5,000 ppm with an accuracy of ±50 ppm. These sensors collect real-time data on temperature, humidity, light intensity, and CO2 concentration within the greenhouse.

[0047] Image Capture Equipment: A high-definition camera is installed in each greenhouse, located at the top of the greenhouse at a height of approximately 3 meters and angled to clearly capture the mushrooms' growth throughout the entire growing area. The camera, with autofocus and nighttime infrared photography capabilities, boasts a 2K resolution and automatically captures images of the mushrooms' growth every two hours.

[0048] Data transmission module: This module utilizes a combination of ZigBee and Wi-Fi wireless communication technologies. A ZigBee coordinator is deployed in each greenhouse. Environmental parameter sensors and high-definition cameras transmit collected data to the ZigBee coordinator via the ZigBee network. The ZigBee coordinator then transmits the data to the data processing center via Wi-Fi. This hybrid communication method ensures stable data transmission while covering a large growing area.

[0049] Data Processing Center: Data Storage Unit: Build a server as the data storage unit and use a professional database management system (such as MySQL) to store the collected environmental parameter data and image data. Establish an edible mushroom growth database containing multiple data tables, storing historical environmental parameter data for different greenhouses, image data of mushroom growth status, and corresponding timestamp information.

[0050] Data Analysis Unit: This unit develops a data analysis algorithm based on growth models and expert knowledge for different mushroom growth stages (strain cultivation, mycelial growth, fruiting body formation, and harvesting). For example, during the spawn cultivation period, the optimal growth temperature for shiitake mushrooms is 22°C-25°C, humidity is 60%-70%, light intensity is 100-200 lux, and carbon dioxide concentration is below 1000 ppm. The data analysis unit analyzes the collected data in real time to determine whether the current growth environment is suitable and whether the mushrooms are growing normally.

[0051] Intelligent control module: Environmental control equipment: Temperature control equipment: Each greenhouse is equipped with an air conditioner and a heater. The air conditioner has a cooling capacity of 5000W, which can quickly reduce the temperature inside the greenhouse; the heater has a power of 3000W, which can increase the temperature inside the greenhouse when the temperature is low.

[0052] Humidity control equipment: equipped with a humidifier and a dehumidifier. The humidifier has a humidification capacity of 5kg / h and the dehumidifier has a dehumidification capacity of 20L / day, which are used to adjust the humidity in the greenhouse.

[0053] Light adjustment equipment: Install a fill light with a power of 100W. The light intensity can be adjusted as needed to meet the light requirements of shiitake mushrooms at different growth stages.

[0054] Ventilation equipment: Install two fans with a wind volume of 3000m 3 / h, used to regulate air circulation in the greenhouse and reduce carbon dioxide concentration.

[0055] The control strategy formulation unit formulates control strategies based on the analysis results of the data analysis unit. For example, when the temperature is above 25°C, the air conditioner is automatically activated to cool the room; when the humidity is below 60%, the humidifier is activated to increase the humidity. The control strategy formulation unit automatically controls the operation of environmental control devices through communication interfaces with these devices.

[0056] Early warning module: When the data processing center analyzes and finds abnormal environmental parameters: the abnormal trigger condition is that the temperature exceeds the range of 20℃ to 25℃ for 3 consecutive hours. The humidity is lower than 80% or higher than 100% for 2 consecutive hours. The light intensity is lower than the minimum requirement or higher than the maximum tolerance value. The carbon dioxide concentration exceeds 1500ppm. The growth status image analysis finds diseases or growth stagnation. Or when there are problems with the growth of shiitake mushrooms (such as yellowing of mycelium or deformed fruiting bodies), the early warning module will immediately notify the management personnel through SMS, email and system interface prompts. The content of the SMS and email includes the specific value of the abnormal parameter, the time of occurrence and the greenhouse number information.

[0057] User Interaction Module: Develop a web-based visual user interface that allows users to log in to the system via computers and mobile devices. This interface allows users to view real-time edible mushroom growth environment parameters (temperature, humidity, light intensity, and carbon dioxide concentration) for each greenhouse, along with growth status images, system control strategies, and early warning information. Users can also manually intervene in system control. For example, in special circumstances, users can adjust the air conditioner's set temperature, the humidifier's humidity level, and the operating parameters of environmental control devices through the interface.

[0058] System operation process: Data collection stage: Environmental parameter sensors collect temperature, humidity, light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration data in the greenhouse in real time, and high-definition cameras regularly capture images of the growth status of shiitake mushrooms.

[0059] Data transmission stage: The collected data is transmitted to the data processing center via ZigBee and Wi-Fi networks.

[0060] Data processing stage: The data storage unit of the data processing center stores the data in the edible fungus growth database, and the data analysis unit analyzes the data in real time to determine whether the growth environment and the growth status of the mushrooms are normal.

[0061] Intelligent control stage: The control strategy formulation unit formulates a control strategy based on the data analysis results, and automatically controls the operation of the environmental regulation equipment to maintain a suitable growth environment.

[0062] Early warning stage: When data abnormalities occur, the early warning module notifies management personnel in a timely manner.

[0063] User interaction stage: Users view system information in real time through the user interaction module and can perform manual intervention as needed.

[0064] Through the above embodiments, the intelligent monitoring and management system for the entire life cycle of edible fungi can intelligently monitor and manage the entire life cycle of shiitake mushrooms from strain cultivation, cultivation to harvesting, thereby improving cultivation efficiency and shiitake mushroom quality.

[0065] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods. Therefore, any modification or replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and improvements thereof that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
