Description

Preparation method of agricultural management system and weeding irrigation unit Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of agricultural technology, and in particular to an agricultural management system and a method for preparing a weeding and irrigation unit. Background Technology

[0002] Weed control fabric, also known as weed-control fabric, weed-covering fabric, or weed-covering fabric, is a new type of material laid on the ground, such as in vegetable gardens, orchards, and picking gardens, to prevent weed growth. Its main principle is to block light, thus hindering weeds from photosynthesizing and achieving weed control. Compared to traditional manual weeding, mechanical weeding, or the use of herbicides, weed control fabric is more time-saving and labor-saving, and largely avoids the pollution hazards of herbicides, making it a safe and reliable weed control method.

[0003] Irrigation pipelines are tubular structures used in farmland irrigation systems to transport and distribute water (which may carry fertilizers, pesticides, or other substances). Their main purpose is to deliver water to farmland areas that need irrigation.

[0031] The system and method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1, the agricultural management system 10 provided in this embodiment may include an integrally formed weeding and irrigation unit 100. The weeding and irrigation unit 100 includes a weeding cloth unit portion 110 and an irrigation pipeline unit portion 120. "Integrated forming" means that the weeding cloth unit portion and the irrigation pipeline unit portion of the weeding and irrigation unit are manufactured as a continuous whole. For example, as shown in Figure 1, assuming the manufacturing process is from top to bottom, the weeding cloth unit portion 110 is woven first, then the already woven weeding cloth unit portion 110 is continued to be woven, and so on. After the irrigation pipeline unit portion 120 is woven, the already woven irrigation pipeline unit portion 120 is continued to be woven, and then the weeding cloth unit portion 110 is woven again. This is not done by separately manufacturing the weeding cloth unit and the irrigation pipeline unit, and then sewing them together or using other appropriate methods to splice them into a whole.

[0033] It is understood that although Figure 1 illustrates the process of weaving the weed control unit 110 first, then the irrigation pipe unit 120, and then the weed control unit 110 again, this disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the irrigation pipe unit 120 can be woven first, then the weed control unit 110, then the irrigation pipe unit 100, and then the weed control unit 110 again. That is, the number of weed control unit parts and irrigation pipe unit parts included in the integrally formed weeding and irrigation unit 100 is not limited, nor is the order of preparation of the weed control unit parts and irrigation pipe unit parts limited. At the same time, the preparation method of the weed control unit parts and irrigation pipe unit parts is not limited to the weaving method, and any other suitable preparation method can be used.

[0034] In this embodiment, the weed control fabric unit comprises a first biodegradable environmentally friendly textile material. That is, the weed control fabric unit in this embodiment is biodegradable, so that when it reaches or is nearing the end of its expected service life, it can automatically decompose into the soil. This prevents soil pollution and eliminates the need for manual recycling of old weed control fabric units, saving manpower and resources and improving the efficiency of laying new weed control fabric units.

[0035] Furthermore, the present invention allows for the selection of the composition and percentage of different components of the first environmentally friendly textile material, thereby ensuring that the expected service life of the weed-control fabric unit is close to one year. Thus, the weed-control fabric unit provided in this embodiment differs from weed-control fabric units in related technologies (e.g., with an expected service life of close to three years). Because the expected service life of weed-control fabric units in related technologies is too long, and planting and harvesting occur only once a year, it is necessary to manually collect the old weed-control fabric units annually and then re-lay either the old or new units. However, the weed-control fabric unit prepared from the biodegradable first environmentally friendly textile material provided in this embodiment can have its expected service life controlled to around one year, making it more compatible with the crop growth cycle.

[0036] This disclosure is not limited thereto, and the expected service life of the weed control fabric unit can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some other embodiments, by adjusting the material composition, the proportion of different components, the preparation process, etc., of the weed control fabric unit, the expected service life of the weed control fabric unit can be greater than one year, thus extending the service life of the weed control fabric unit and allowing for reuse.

[0037] In this embodiment, the irrigation pipeline unit 120 includes a first environmentally friendly textile material and a second biodegradable environmentally friendly textile material. If the preparation begins with the weed control fabric unit, the first environmentally friendly textile material can be used first. When preparing the irrigation pipeline unit, the first environmentally friendly textile material can continue to be used, and the second environmentally friendly textile material can be added. When it comes to the weed control fabric unit, the second environmentally friendly textile material can be removed, and the first environmentally friendly textile material can be used again to prepare the weed control fabric unit. This cycle continues until a complete weed control irrigation unit is prepared. By using biodegradable first and second environmentally friendly textile materials to prepare the irrigation pipe unit, on the one hand, the continuous preparation of the weeding cloth unit and the irrigation pipe unit can be achieved, forming an integrally molded weeding and irrigation unit; on the other hand, both the irrigation pipe unit and the weeding cloth unit are biodegradable, avoiding pollution to the soil environment; in addition, the irrigation pipe unit is made by layering the second environmentally friendly textile material on the first environmentally friendly textile material of the weeding cloth unit. During the subsequent heat treatment of the irrigation pipe unit, the second environmentally friendly textile material can form a thin film on the first environmentally friendly textile material. This film can prevent water leakage, ensuring that when liquids such as water are delivered to the plants through the irrigation pipe unit, water will not leak at unwanted locations.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, the irrigation pipeline unit portion 120 is divided into a porous region and a non-porous region.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, the porous region has a different thickness or melting point than the non-porous region of the second environmentally friendly textile material. The porous region can be used to form pores that allow liquids, such as water, transported through the irrigation pipe unit portion to flow out at desired locations, such as plant roots. The specific location of the porous region, as well as the pore distribution and size within it, can be determined according to actual irrigation needs, and this disclosure does not limit this. The non-porous region refers to the irrigation pipe unit portion that is not used to form pores. Areas within the irrigation pipe unit portion other than the porous region can be referred to as non-porous regions.

[0040] In some embodiments, by making the thickness of the second environmentally friendly textile material in the porous region different from the thickness of the second environmentally friendly textile material in the non-porous region, when the irrigation pipeline unit portion is heat-treated, the porous region is more likely to form pores because the porous region is thinner, while no pores are formed in the non-porous region.

[0041] In other embodiments, by making the melting point of the second environmentally friendly textile material in the porous region different from that in the non-porous region, for example, the melting point in the porous region is higher than that in the non-porous region, it is more difficult for the porous region to melt when the irrigation pipeline unit is subsequently heat-treated, thus making it easier to form pores.

[0042] In some other embodiments, the porous regions have the same thickness and melting point of the second environmentally friendly textile material as the non-porous regions. That is, the same second environmentally friendly textile material can be used to prepare both the porous and non-porous regions. After the irrigation pipe unit is woven, holes can be punched at corresponding locations in the porous regions to form pores. Here, "the same second environmentally friendly textile material" means that the amount of the second environmentally friendly textile material used in both the porous and non-porous regions is the same (resulting in the same amount and therefore the same thickness) and the same melting point.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, both the first and second environmentally friendly textile materials are 100% fully biodegradable fiber materials. That is, the weeding cloth unit and irrigation pipe unit in this embodiment contain only 100% fully biodegradable fiber materials and do not contain any other materials, thus achieving the purpose of environmental protection and non-polluting the soil. However, this disclosure is not limited to this. In other embodiments, to achieve other functions, other additional materials may be added during the preparation process of the weeding cloth unit and irrigation pipe unit.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the 100% fully biodegradable fiber material includes: 100% natural fibers, or 100% fully biodegradable polymer materials, or a fiber material in which natural fibers and fully biodegradable polymer materials are blended in a predetermined proportion, or a fiber material in which natural fibers, fully biodegradable polymer materials, and natural fibers and fully biodegradable polymer materials are blended in a predetermined proportion in various ways.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the fully biodegradable polymer material includes at least one of the following: polylactic acid fiber, polyhydroxyalkanoate fiber, polycaprolactone fiber, polyesteramide fiber, polyhydroxybutyrate fiber, polyesteramide fiber, and polybutylene succinate fiber. It is understood that the fully biodegradable polymer material may include other materials besides those exemplified above.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, natural fibers include at least one of plant fibers, animal fibers, mineral fibers, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first environmentally friendly textile material may be the same as or different from the second environmentally friendly textile material. For example, the first environmentally friendly textile material may be made of 100% natural fibers, and the second environmentally friendly textile material may be made of 100% fully biodegradable polymer materials. As another example, the first environmentally friendly textile material may be a blend of natural fibers and fully biodegradable polymer materials in a predetermined ratio, and the second environmentally friendly textile material may also be a blend of natural fibers and fully biodegradable polymer materials in a predetermined ratio. The proportion of natural fibers in the first environmentally friendly textile material may be greater than that in the second environmentally friendly textile material, which allows the weeding fabric unit portion to have better breathability, and the irrigation pipe unit portion to have better leak-proof properties. However, this disclosure is not limited to this. In other embodiments, to achieve the desired function (e.g., UV resistance), the weeding fabric unit portion may include other non-biodegradable materials in addition to the biodegradable first environmentally friendly textile material, and / or the irrigation pipe unit portion may include other non-biodegradable materials in addition to the aforementioned biodegradable first and second environmentally friendly textile materials.

[0048] The agricultural management system provided in this disclosure includes an integrally molded weeding and irrigation unit. By integrally molding the irrigation pipeline unit and the weeding cloth unit, for example, by integral weaving, the weeding and irrigation unit combines the functions of irrigation pipelines and weeding cloth, achieving integration of the two. Through specific weaving techniques and material selection, weeding cloth with weeding function can be manufactured, and irrigation pipelines with irrigation function can be covered or woven into its exterior or specific parts. In this way, the weeding and irrigation unit can not only be used to transport and distribute water, but also simultaneously suppress weed growth. This integrally woven design simplifies the installation process and reduces construction time and costs. On the other hand, since the irrigation pipeline and weeding cloth are manufactured as a whole, the connection between them is more robust and reliable, reducing the risk of leakage and damage. In addition, this design helps to improve water use efficiency, reduce competition from weeds for crops, thereby improving crop yield and quality.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the agricultural management system may further include a communication unit. The communication unit may be integrated into the weeding fabric unit portion; that is, the communication unit may be woven into the weeding fabric unit portion during its fabrication, or a space for the communication unit may be reserved in the weeding fabric unit portion, and then the communication unit may be placed in that space. Alternatively, the communication unit may be mounted on a fixing device of the weeding fabric unit portion; or the communication unit may be placed above the weeding fabric unit portion. In other words, the combination of the communication unit and the weeding fabric unit portion provided in this disclosure embodiment includes, but is not limited to, the following three methods: the communication unit is integrated into the weeding fabric unit portion, the communication unit is mounted on a fixing device of the weeding fabric unit portion, and the communication unit is placed above the weeding fabric unit portion.

[0050] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the integration of the communication unit into the weeding fabric unit mainly refers to embedding the communication unit into the weeding fabric unit during manufacturing, making it a part of the weeding fabric unit, but it is not limited to the above method. For example, a hole can be left when weaving the weeding fabric unit to insert the communication unit.

[0051] In this embodiment, the method of mounting the communication unit on the fixing device of the weeding cloth unit mainly refers to installing a base or bracket at a fixed point below the weeding cloth unit as a fixing device for the weeding cloth unit. The communication unit is mounted on the base or bracket to achieve accurate reading and transmission of soil environmental data, but it is not limited to the above method. By mounting the communication unit on the fixing device of the weeding cloth unit, and the fixing device being located below the weeding cloth unit, the communication unit can be shielded by the weeding cloth unit, thereby preventing animals in the farmland from biting and damaging the communication unit. In this case, the communication unit can be made three-proof (e.g., waterproof).

[0052] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the method of placing the communication unit above the weeding cloth unit mainly refers to installing a fixed bracket at a fixed point above the weeding cloth unit and placing the communication unit on the bracket to better read and transmit soil environmental data and ensure that it will not interfere with the use of the weeding cloth unit, but is not limited to the above method.

[0053] As shown in Figure 2, the integrally molded weeding and irrigation unit 100 provided in this embodiment may include spaced-apart weeding fabric unit portions 110 and irrigation pipe unit portions 120. Each weeding fabric unit portion 110 may be distributed between two adjacent irrigation pipe unit portions 120, except for the uppermost and lowermost weeding fabric unit portions 110. When the weeding and irrigation unit 100 is laid on the soil, the irrigation pipe unit portions 120 may be located above or below the weeding fabric unit portions 110.

[0054] It should be noted that although Figure 2 shows the preparation of the weed control fabric unit 110 and the irrigation pipeline unit 120 from top to bottom, this disclosure is not limited to this. For example, they can also be prepared from left to right, from right to left, or from bottom to top.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first environmentally friendly textile material may be 100% plant fiber, and the second environmentally friendly textile material may include a biodegradable vulcanizable material. If the weed control unit portion 110 and the irrigation pipe unit portion 120 are integrally formed, the weed control unit portion 110 can be woven from top to bottom using 100% plant fiber. When weaving the irrigation pipe unit portion 120, some yarn containing vulcanizable material is added and woven together. When we return to the weed control unit portion 110, the yarn containing vulcanizable material is removed. After forming a two-dimensional woven fabric, the irrigation pipe unit portion 120 is then softened by hot pressing and rolled into a cylinder (for illustrative purposes only; this disclosure does not limit the shape of the irrigation pipe unit portion, for example, it may be a cuboid) to serve as the irrigation pipe unit portion 120.

[0056] In some embodiments, during the weaving of yarn containing vulcanizable material, the irrigation pipe unit portion 120 can be made using yarn with the same vulcanizable material content, and then holes can be punched at corresponding locations in the irrigation pipe unit portion 120 to form pores where water can seep out.

[0057] In other embodiments, during the weaving process of yarn containing vulcanizable materials, yarns with different contents of vulcanizable materials can be used to fabricate the irrigation pipe unit portion 120, directly forming pores where needed, thus saving the perforation step. For example, the irrigation pipe unit portion 120 and the weed control unit portion 110 can be woven in one step, respectively using yarns containing different contents of vulcanizable materials to prepare irrigation pipe unit portions 120 with different pore sizes. Here, the yarn containing different contents of vulcanizable materials can be a vulcanizable material with different materials in the pore area and the non-pore area, such as vulcanizable materials with different melting points, or it can refer to a vulcanizable material with the same material in the pore area and the non-pore area, but the content of vulcanizable material in the pore area is less than the content of vulcanizable material in the non-pore area.

[0058] Optionally, when the system includes a sensor network, the sensors 210 included in the sensor network can be placed above or below the weeding cloth unit portion 110. For example, as shown in FIG2, the sensors 210 can be placed evenly spaced above the weeding cloth unit portion 110.

[0059] In other embodiments, the weed control fabric unit and the irrigation piping unit can also be woven independently.

[0060] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the material used to prepare the weed control fabric unit 110 may be a 100% fully biodegradable fiber material, including but not limited to 100% natural fibers, 100% fully biodegradable polymer materials, and fiber materials that are blended from natural fibers and fully biodegradable polymer materials in a predetermined ratio, or the above-mentioned fiber materials may be combined in various ways.

[0061] In this disclosure, the fully biodegradable polymer materials include, but are not limited to, polylactic acid fibers, polyhydroxyalkanoate fibers, polycaprolactone fibers, polyesteramide fibers, polyhydroxybutyrate fibers, polyesteramide fibers, polybutylene succinate fibers, or combinations of the above fiber materials in various ways.

[0062] The technical effects of different percentages in the preparation: Variations in the proportion of fiber materials have a certain impact on the strength, breathability, and water retention of the weed control fabric unit. Generally, polymer materials have higher strength and durability; adding a certain proportion of polymer materials can produce a stronger weed control fabric unit, better resisting external stress and environmental influences. Plant fibers have good breathability and water retention, promoting soil aeration and water infiltration. Using a certain proportion of plant fibers can improve the breathability and water retention of the weed control fabric unit, contributing to plant growth and soil moisture retention. Therefore, an appropriate proportion of fiber materials can be selected based on specific application needs and environmental conditions to achieve the best technical results.

[0063] Traditional agricultural production methods suffer from numerous problems, including excessive consumption of water and soil resources, environmental pollution, overuse of agricultural inputs (pesticides, fertilizers, etc.), and low levels of resource recycling, leading to significant risks to environmental protection and food safety. Therefore, developing intelligent agricultural management technologies to achieve precise, green, and efficient agricultural production has become an inevitable trend in agricultural development. In modern agricultural production, weed control fabric units and irrigation pipes can prevent weed growth, reduce pesticide use, save water, precisely provide sufficient water and nutrients, and increase crop yields, thus being widely used in orchards, vineyards, flower gardens, and other agricultural planting fields. Despite these advantages, most weed control fabrics and irrigation pipes currently on the market are simply plastic products. Although inexpensive, they are prone to aging and cracking, have a short lifespan, and easily cause environmental pollution.

[0064] Soil testing instruments, as an important agricultural tool, help farmers understand key parameters in the soil such as nutrient content, pH value, and moisture content, guiding them in scientific fertilization and rational pesticide application. However, most soil testing instruments currently on the market require manual sampling and analysis, which is inefficient and prone to errors, failing to meet the demands of modern agricultural production for rapid, accurate, and real-time monitoring. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an integrated system combining weed control units, irrigation pipelines, and soil testing and control, enabling data interaction and collaboration through wired or wireless networks. This system would allow for real-time monitoring and adjustment of the crop growth environment, improving the stability and consistency of crop growth conditions, thereby increasing crop yield and quality.

[0065] Against this backdrop, embodiments of this disclosure provide a weeding fabric unit and an irrigation pipe (i.e., irrigation pipeline) substrate made of textile materials. This not only diversifies weeding and irrigation functions, enabling precise irrigation and nutrient supply to crops, but also ensures that both the weeding fabric and irrigation pipeline are made of environmentally friendly textile materials, possessing properties such as breathability, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and easy degradation. Furthermore, a soil and environmental parameter (e.g., air parameters) detection device and system are provided, enabling monitoring and precise control of the crop growth environment through a sensor network, communication modules / units, and a control unit. The combination of these two components forms an intelligent agricultural production system, achieving comprehensive monitoring and refined management of the crop growth environment, thereby improving agricultural production efficiency and quality.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, the agricultural management system further includes: a sensor network for collecting soil environmental data; and a control unit for receiving and controlling a plant environment regulation device based on the soil environmental data, the plant environment regulation device including the irrigation pipeline unit portion.

[0067] The soil environmental data in this embodiment may include any parameters related to the crop growth environment, such as soil data, including any one or more of soil temperature, soil moisture, soil pH, soil salinity, and soil nutrient content. For example, it may also include environmental data, such as air parameters, including any one or more of air temperature and air humidity.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the agricultural management system further includes: a communication unit for transmitting the soil environmental data to an external party; and a terminal device for receiving the soil environmental data and displaying the soil environmental data on a client installed on the terminal device.

[0069] Figure 3 illustrates the system structure and circuit implementation of an agricultural management system 300 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The agricultural management system 300 provided in Figure 3 relates to an integrated agricultural management system based on soil microenvironment monitoring. The agricultural management system 300 may include a weed control unit, irrigation pipelines (which may be included in an irrigation device 320), a soil sensor network 310, a communication unit 340 (e.g., a 4G module, but this disclosure is not limited thereto), and control units 380 for each component. Optionally, it may also include one or more of the following: a central processing unit 330, a heating device 390, a client 370 (e.g., a mobile client, but this disclosure is not limited thereto), a remote management platform 360, and a power supply unit 350 (e.g., a battery pack, but this disclosure is not limited thereto).

[0070] The sensor network 310 may include one or more of the following: soil temperature sensor 311, soil moisture sensor 312, soil pH sensor 313, soil salinity sensor 314, and soil nutrient sensor 315, for measuring any one or more of soil temperature, soil moisture, soil pH, soil salinity, and soil nutrient content. The sensor 210 in Figure 2 above may include one or more of the following: soil temperature sensor 311, soil moisture sensor 312, soil pH sensor 313, soil salinity sensor 314, and soil nutrient sensor 315.

[0071] The weed control unit and irrigation pipeline are made of environmentally friendly (mainly biodegradable) textile materials. The sensor network 310 collects soil environmental data, including parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, pH value, and nutrient content, enabling real-time monitoring and data collection of the soil microenvironment. The communication unit 340 sends the collected data to a designated client 370 for user review, verification, and monitoring. The control unit 380 intelligently determines whether optimal plant growth conditions have been met based on the collected soil environmental data, promptly notifying the heating device 390 and irrigation device 320 for adjustment. For example, if the soil temperature is detected to be too low, a control signal is sent to the heating device 390 to activate it and increase the soil temperature. Similarly, if the soil moisture is detected to be too low, a control signal is sent to the irrigation device 320 to increase the irrigation volume and improve soil moisture.

[0072] Optionally, the sensor network 310, control unit 380, communication unit 340, and power supply unit 350 can be connected to the central processing unit 330 via various wired and / or wireless methods. The power supply unit 350 supplies power to the central processing unit 330. Data collected by the sensor network 310 is first transmitted to the central processing unit 330, and then transmitted by the central processing unit 330 to the remote management platform 360 via the communication unit 340. The remote management platform 360 then transmits the collected data to the client 370. Users can send control commands to the control unit 380 through the remote management platform 360, or the remote management platform 360 can generate and send corresponding control commands based on the received soil environmental data, such as sending a control command to reduce the irrigation amount. The control unit 380 responds to the control command to control the irrigation device 320 and / or the heating device 390. After receiving the collected data, the central processing unit 330 can also process and analyze the collected data to generate corresponding control commands, and then send the control commands to the control unit 380, for example, send control commands to reduce the heating amount or increase the irrigation amount. The control unit 380 responds to the control commands to control the irrigation device 320 and / or the heating device 390.

[0073] The agricultural integrated management system based on soil microenvironment monitoring provided in this disclosure combines a weeding and irrigation system with a sensor network system to form an intelligent agricultural production system, enabling comprehensive monitoring and refined management of the crop growth environment.

[0074] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the methods for laying the weed control fabric unit and the irrigation pipeline mainly include, but are not limited to, the following:

[0075] The irrigation pipeline and the weed control fabric unit are laid as a whole, that is, a one-piece molded weed control and irrigation unit is used, which are referred to as the irrigation pipeline unit part and the weed control fabric unit part respectively.

[0076] Irrigation pipes are laid on the weed control fabric units. For example, the irrigation pipes can be placed directly on the weed control fabric units, or they can be secured with fixing devices. Water flowing from the irrigation pipes permeates through the weed control fabric units into the ground, keeping the weed control fabric units moist and improving weed control effectiveness.

[0077] Laying irrigation pipes under the weed control fabric unit can reduce the impact of direct sunlight on the irrigation pipes and extend their service life.

[0078] The irrigation pipes are buried underground, and the weed control fabric units are laid on the ground.

[0079] Irrigation is achieved by embedding and fixing the weed control fabric unit into the ground, suspending the irrigation pipeline above the weed control fabric unit, and securing it with brackets or hangers.

[0080] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the irrigation pipeline and the weed control fabric unit are laid as a whole. The preparation method includes, but is not limited to, one-time weaving and forming, or, partial weaving and then bonding or sewing (that is, weaving the irrigation pipeline and the weed control fabric unit separately and then sewing them together).

[0081] In this embodiment, the materials used to prepare the weed control fabric unit and the irrigation pipeline include, but are not limited to, natural fiber materials, environmentally friendly synthetic fiber materials, environmentally friendly functional fiber materials, and various environmentally friendly mixed fiber materials.

[0082] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the natural fiber materials included in the preparation materials of the weed control unit and the irrigation pipeline mainly refer to materials derived from nature such as plants, animals or minerals, including but not limited to plant fibers such as cotton and linen, animal fibers such as silk and wool, and mineral fibers such as asbestos.

[0083] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the environmentally friendly synthetic fiber materials included in the preparation materials of the weed control fabric unit and the irrigation pipeline mainly include, but are not limited to, bio-based polyester fibers, recycled polyester fibers, etc.

[0084] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the environmentally friendly functional fiber materials included in the preparation materials of the weed control fabric unit and the irrigation pipeline mainly include, but are not limited to, antistatic fiber materials, antibacterial fiber materials, UV-resistant fiber materials, and antioxidant fiber materials.

[0085] In this embodiment, the environmentally friendly mixed fiber material included in the preparation materials of the weed control fabric unit and the irrigation pipeline mainly refers to a fiber material prepared by mixing two or more different environmentally friendly fiber materials.

[0097] In this embodiment, the stacking preparation of the weed-control fabric unit and the irrigation pipe substrate includes stacking knitted, woven, non-woven, coated, and composite fabrics in a specific order, and undergoing secondary or multiple processing steps, and is not limited to the examples mentioned above. That is, the weed-control fabric unit and the irrigation pipe substrate in this embodiment can be a double-layer or multi-layer structure. When the same fabric is used but stacked in different orders, or when different fabrics are used, the effects of the weed-control fabric unit and the irrigation pipe will differ.

[0098] In this embodiment of the disclosure, for the irrigation pipeline, woven, knitted, or nonwoven fabrics, or other arbitrary forms of fabric (i.e., fabrics prepared from a first environmentally friendly textile material), can be selected. This fabric is a fully biodegradable textile material, such as natural fibers or biodegradable synthetic fibers. Then, a polymer fabric with a thickness not exceeding 20 mm (i.e., fabric prepared from a second environmentally friendly textile material, which can be woven, knitted, nonwoven, or other forms of polymer fabric) is stacked on one side (e.g., the front or back) of this first environmentally friendly textile material. The melting points of the first and second environmentally friendly textile materials are different, thus forming a composite fabric with a difference in melting points. This composite fabric is then subjected to a pipe heat-setting treatment to form a complete irrigation pipeline unit. The purpose of the heat treatment is to melt the low-melting-point fabric (e.g., the fabric prepared from the second environmentally friendly textile material) inside the pipeline, causing it to form a complete and uniform polymer film inside the pipeline. The dripping area (an example of a porous area) of this irrigation pipe unit can be set by subsequent perforation treatment, or by adjusting the thickness of the stacked polymer fabric according to different infiltration requirements to achieve the purpose of dripping water in a specific area (i.e., the porous area).

[0099] In addition to the stacking methods mentioned above, multilayer polymer fabrics with different thicknesses and melting point characteristics can also be stacked, or polymer films can be used for stacking. Furthermore, besides stacking single types of fabrics, various fabric types such as woven, knitted, and nonwoven fabrics can be combined and stacked.

[0116] The agricultural integrated management system based on soil microenvironment monitoring provided in this disclosure has the following advantages: Firstly, the weed control fabric unit has properties such as water permeability, air permeability, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, which can effectively prevent weed growth and reduce water evaporation; it is soft, stable, durable, and biodegradable. Secondly, both the weed control fabric unit and the irrigation pipeline are made of environmentally friendly materials, which can effectively avoid plastic pollution caused by traditional weed control fabrics and water pipes. Using irrigation pipelines can improve irrigation efficiency and accuracy, avoiding water waste and soil salinization. Simultaneously, through the combination of sensor networks and control units, real-time and precise monitoring and adjustment of the crop growth environment can be achieved, reducing the use of agricultural inputs, improving the stability and consistency of crop growth conditions, increasing crop yield and quality, saving costs, and protecting the environment. Furthermore, the use of automated sampling and analysis technology enables rapid, accurate, and real-time monitoring, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of farmers and improve agricultural production efficiency and quality. This system has high integration, is easy to assemble, inexpensive, simple to operate, and easy to promote; it has a wide range of applications and can be used in various agricultural production environments such as agriculture, horticulture, and lawn management.

[0117] In some embodiments, the agricultural management system includes a weed control unit, irrigation piping, and a set of soil monitoring devices (e.g., a sensor network) and a control system (including one or more of a control unit, a remote management platform, and a central processing unit). The weed control unit may be woven from 100% polyethylene material, and the irrigation piping may be woven from 100% polyethylene material and combined with a PVC waterproof membrane through steam hot pressing. The soil monitoring devices and control system may include soil monitoring sensors for soil environmental data acquisition, a communication unit for soil environmental data transmission and processing, a control unit, a remote management cloud platform, and a mobile client. The soil monitoring sensors may include soil temperature and humidity sensors. Additionally, the system may include an irrigation device, whose on / off state, watering time, and water volume are automatically controlled by the control unit based on the final processed soil parameters or soil environmental data results. In this embodiment, the soil monitoring sensors may be vertically inserted into the soil for more accurate soil data reading. The sensor tip may be mounted on the bottom of the weed control unit and tightly integrated with it to prevent damage during use. The communication unit may be embedded in the material of the weed control unit for better protection and to ensure stable signal transmission.

[0118] In other embodiments, the agricultural management system includes a weed control unit, irrigation pipelines, and a set of soil testing devices and a control system.

The communication unit can be embedded in the material of the weed control unit to better protect the data receiver and ensure good signal transmission. The soil pH sensor can be buried at a fixed point 5-10 cm below the soil surface for long-term accurate soil data readings.

[0119] The agricultural integrated management system provided by this disclosure can effectively solve the plastic pollution problem of traditional plastic agricultural textiles and improve the soil environment. By using weed-control fabric made of environmentally friendly materials, weed growth can be suppressed, reducing the use of herbicides and protecting the soil ecosystem. Furthermore, by delivering irrigation water and fertilizer directly to the crop roots, evaporation and loss of water and fertilizer are avoided, while simultaneously meeting the crop's water and fertilizer requirements, saving water and fertilizer resources, and improving irrigation efficiency and crop yield. Through real-time monitoring and analysis of soil environmental data, irrigation volume and timing can be automatically adjusted to achieve optimal water and fertilizer balance. Additionally, through real-time monitoring and control of soil temperature, the temperature and heating time of the heating device can be automatically adjusted to ensure that crops grow at suitable temperatures and prevent frost damage or high-temperature damage. This system can also reduce labor costs and management difficulty. By using devices such as mobile clients, the entire system's operation can be remotely monitored and controlled, agricultural production information can be obtained in a timely manner, and decision-making and guidance can be provided. Finally, by using devices such as communication units, the system can achieve interconnection with other information systems, improving data sharing and utilization.

[0120] In an exemplary embodiment, the client includes at least one of the following display pages:

[0121] The overall sensor recording page is used to display the overall soil environmental data collected by the sensor network;

[0122] The soil data early warning page is used to display early warning information generated based on the soil environmental data;

[0123] A single sensor data viewing page is used to display the soil environmental data collected by a single sensor in the sensor network;

[0124] The sensor settings page is used to configure the sensors in the sensor network.

[0125] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the remote management cloud platform and mobile client can display all sensors and their corresponding detection parameter values ​​(i.e., soil environmental data) by numbering and icon arrangement.

[0126] For example, the mobile client design can be shown in Figures 4 to 7, and can be divided into four display pages: an overall sensor recording page, a soil data early warning page, a single sensor data viewing page, and a sensor settings page. Through a remote management cloud platform and mobile client, data such as soil temperature, soil moisture, soil pH, soil conductivity, and soil nutrient content (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) can be recorded and alerts issued.

[0127] As shown in Figure 4, the overall sensor recording page 4 can display prompts for multi-data analysis 41, indicating that soil environmental data collected by multiple sensors in the sensor network can be displayed on this page. The overall sensor recording page 4 may also include a multi-automatic device control 42 and an abnormal data alarm control 43. When the multi-automatic device control 42 is triggered, the overall sensor recording page 4 as shown in Figure 4 is displayed; when the abnormal data alarm control 43 is triggered, the soil data early warning page 5 as shown in Figure 5 is displayed.

[0128] The overall sensor recording page 4 may include a water viewing control 44, a temperature viewing control 45, an electricity viewing control 46, and a pH viewing control 47, for viewing soil moisture content, temperature, sensor power, and soil pH value, respectively. It is understood that the overall sensor recording page 4 may contain more or fewer viewing controls, and the function of each viewing control can be set according to requirements. For example, assuming the water viewing control 44 is triggered, the soil number, the corresponding device ID, and the corresponding soil moisture content detected by the device can be displayed. In this embodiment, all detected soil is divided into regions for detection, and each divided soil patch is assigned a number. This number can be one or more of numbers, letters, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this, as long as it can uniquely identify each soil patch. Each soil number has a corresponding device ID, which refers to the identifier of the sensor used to detect the parameters of the soil corresponding to that soil number. This disclosure does not limit the representation of the device ID, as long as it can uniquely distinguish each sensor in each soil patch.

[0129] As shown in Figure 5, assuming the abnormal data alarm control 43 is triggered, the soil data warning page 5 is displayed. When the water viewing control 44 in the soil data warning page 5 is triggered, the soil and related equipment information that generated the warning information 58 can be displayed. For example, the warning information 58 may include the soil number and the corresponding warning identifier (e.g., "!", but this disclosure is not limited to this), the device ID corresponding to the soil number, and the soil moisture content (also known as soil humidity) measured by the device ID. Here, the soil moisture content that has been detected to exceed the warning threshold is displayed. The warning threshold can be set according to the actual situation, such as the type of crop planted in the soil, the growth stage of the crop, the properties of the soil, etc.

[0130] As shown in Figure 6, the single sensor data viewing page 6 can display prompts for single data analysis 61, informing the user that the page can be used to display relevant data from a single sensor. The single sensor data viewing page 6 may include a selection control 62, which allows users to select, input, or search for the device name or device ID of the desired single sensor. Here, we take selecting the device name as an example. Assuming the device name is "Soil 33," the page can display the soil moisture 63, temperature 64, conductivity 65, pH value 66, nitrogen content 67, phosphorus content 68, potassium content 69, salt concentration 610, power supply (i.e., the device's battery level) 611, wake-up time 612, etc., detected by the device corresponding to device ID 614 in Soil 33. The wake-up time refers to the duration since the device started operating. The data report time 613, i.e., the time when the above data was collected, can also be displayed.

[0131] As shown in Figure 7, the sensor settings page 7 may include prompts for operating the device 71, indicating to the user that sensor parameters can be set on this page. The sensor settings page 7 may include a device name selection control 72, which allows the user to select the device name for the device whose parameters are to be set. The sensor settings page 7 may also include the sending conditions for the set parameters. For example, users can select either a "Send Now" control 73 or an "Offline Send" control 74. Responding to the "Send Now" control 73 will immediately send the set parameters to the corresponding device; responding to the "Offline Send" control 74 will wait until the corresponding device is offline before sending the set parameters to that device. The sensor settings page 7 may also include a wake-up time setting control 75, a wake-up time specification control 76, and a single history record query control 77, used to set the wake-up time for the device corresponding to the selected device name and query the device's history records, respectively. The sensor settings page 7 may also include an output data control 78 to export the parameters of the device set above.

[0132] It is understood that the layout of the pages in Figures 4 to 7, the functions of the included controls, and the indicators can all be adjusted as needed, and are not limited to the examples above.

[0133] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the mobile client can display real-time monitoring data and / or historical monitoring data from the soil environmental data collected by the sensor network, and present them in the form of charts, text, etc.

[0134] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the mobile client can remotely manage the control units of each component.

[0135] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the control units of each component can be remotely managed by a mobile client, such as controlling the irrigation device, watering time and water volume according to preset rules based on the collected soil information processing results.

[0136] This disclosure provides an integrated agricultural management system based on soil microenvironment monitoring. Through network-based data interaction and collaboration, it enables real-time monitoring and adjustment of the crop growth environment, improving the stability and consistency of crop growth conditions, thereby increasing crop yield and quality. The system aims to combine weeding and irrigation with soil parameter monitoring devices and systems to achieve real-time monitoring and control of soil conditions, helping farmers better manage their crops.

[0137] As shown in Figure 8, the method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps.

[0138] In S81, the weeding cloth unit portion of the weeding irrigation unit is made of a first biodegradable environmentally friendly textile material.

[0139] In S82, when the irrigation pipe unit portion of the weeding irrigation unit is reached, the irrigation pipe unit portion is made using the first environmentally friendly textile material and the second biodegradable environmentally friendly textile material.

[0140] In S83, the irrigation pipeline unit is heat-set.

[0141] The method provided in this embodiment can prepare an integrally molded weeding and irrigation unit, and both the weeding cloth unit and the irrigation pipeline unit are biodegradable and will not cause environmental pollution.

[0142] In an exemplary embodiment, the irrigation pipe unit portion is made using the first environmentally friendly textile material and the second biodegradable environmentally friendly textile material, comprising: forming a first layer (e.g., a lower layer, but this disclosure is not limited thereto, for example, it could also be an upper layer) of the irrigation pipe unit portion using the first environmentally friendly textile material; forming the porous region and the non-porous region in the second layer (e.g., an upper layer, but this disclosure is not limited thereto, for example, it could also be a lower layer) of the irrigation pipe unit portion using the same second environmentally friendly textile material; and punching holes in the porous region to form pores in the porous region.

[0143] This disclosure provides a method for preparing irrigation pipeline units and weed control fabric units through weaving.

[0144] In some embodiments, the method first uses a fully biodegradable composite yarn material for weaving, comprising two fully biodegradable polymer fibers with different melting points (the relatively low-melting-point polymer fiber accounts for >35%, which can serve as a second environmentally friendly textile material, and the relatively high-melting-point polymer fiber can serve as a first environmentally friendly textile material), or one fully biodegradable polymer fiber (fiber content >35%, serving as a second environmentally friendly textile material) and one natural fiber (serving as a first environmentally friendly textile material). The resulting fabric constitutes the front and back fabric effects of the irrigation pipe unit section with different melting points. After the irrigation pipe unit section is woven, the same yarn (i.e., the weed control unit can use the same first and second environmentally friendly textile materials as the irrigation pipe unit) or other yarns (e.g., the weed control unit can use only the first environmentally friendly textile material) is used to continue weaving the weed control unit. After the overall fabric is woven, perforations are made in the irrigation pipe unit section as needed. Subsequently, the woven portion of the irrigation pipe is heat-set to form a complete irrigation pipe unit, enabling dripping at the perforated locations (i.e., the pore area).

[0145] The preparation method provided in this disclosure uses a fully biodegradable composite yarn material with environmentally friendly properties, reducing environmental burden. The composite yarn contains two polymer fibers, or a combination of one polymer fiber and one natural fiber, which not only improves the diversity and functionality of the material but also gives the product a two-sided fabric effect with different melting points. This design makes the product more adaptable to different application scenarios. Through a weaving process, the composite yarn material is transformed into a fabric with specific structure and function. During the weaving process, the interweaving and combination of different fibers form the basic structure of the irrigation pipe unit. After weaving, perforations are made in the irrigation pipe unit as needed. The position and number of these perforations can be adjusted according to actual irrigation requirements to achieve precise dripping. Heat setting treatment makes the irrigation pipe fabric form a stable structure and achieves dripping function at the perforated positions. Because the fibers contained in the composite yarn have different melting points, different parts of the fibers respond to heat in different ways during heat setting treatment, further enhancing the functionality and stability of the irrigation pipe unit. This method, through the selection of suitable materials and careful weaving techniques, creates an irrigation pipe unit with unique functions and environmentally friendly properties. This method not only helps improve irrigation efficiency but also aligns with the concept of sustainable development, making it beneficial for both agricultural production and environmental protection.

[0146] The weaving of irrigation pipes utilizes a front and back fabric with different melting points. Firstly, irrigation pipes need to function as drippers or irrigation systems, and the difference in melting points allows for different thermal response characteristics in specific areas. This enables precise control of the morphology and structure of different areas during heat setting, allowing for the formation of drip holes or other functional structures. Secondly, the front and back fabric structure with different melting points increases the stability of the irrigation pipes. Because the fibers in different parts shrink or solidify differently when heated, this helps form a robust structural support within the pipe, improving its durability and tensile strength. By weaving fabrics with different melting points, multiple functional structures can be formed in a single process without additional processing steps. This not only simplifies the production process but also increases production efficiency and reduces production costs. Since the materials used are fully biodegradable, these irrigation pipes can decompose naturally after their service life, preventing long-term environmental pollution.

[0147] Figure 9 illustrates a method for fabricating irrigation pipe units and weed control fabric units based on a knitted sandwich structure. The method first uses 75D (denier) PLA polylactic acid filaments (a second environmentally friendly textile material) and jute yarn (another environmentally friendly textile material) to weave the upper and lower layers of a sandwich structure fabric. The PLA filaments constitute 50% of the total yarn weight and are used to construct the irrigation pipe unit section. After the irrigation pipe unit section is woven, the PLA filaments are discontinued, and only the jute yarn is used to continue weaving the weed control fabric unit. After the entire fabric is woven, perforations are made in the irrigation pipe unit section as needed. Subsequently, the irrigation pipe fabric section undergoes heat setting treatment (at approximately 190°C, the melting temperature of PLA) to form a complete irrigation pipe unit, with dripping functionality achieved at the perforated locations, as shown in Figure 9. Assuming there are perforation positions 1, 2, and 3, this is merely an illustrative example, and the disclosure does not limit the location, data, or layout of the perforations.

[0148] Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable material made from renewable plant resources, such as starch extracted from corn. PLA has excellent biocompatibility and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature, ultimately producing carbon dioxide and water without polluting the environment, which is very beneficial for environmental protection. PLA also has good mechanical and processing properties.

[0149] A knitted sandwich structure refers to a three-dimensional spaced fabric structure consisting of two separate layers and an intermediate connecting layer. The intermediate layer comprises separating yarns with different rigidities, perpendicular to and connecting the outermost and innermost layers. Sandwich structures can be produced using both knitting and weaving methods.

[0150] In an exemplary embodiment, the irrigation pipeline unit portion is made using the first environmentally friendly textile material and the second biodegradable environmentally friendly textile material, comprising: forming a first layer of the irrigation pipeline unit portion using the first environmentally friendly textile material; and forming the porous region and the non-porous region in the second layer of the irrigation pipeline unit portion using the second environmentally friendly textile material, wherein the amount of the second environmentally friendly textile material used in the porous region is less than that used in the non-porous region.

[0151] In other embodiments, this disclosure also provides an improved integrated weaving method for knitting. This method first determines the drip level of the irrigation pipe unit (i.e., the position of the pores in the porous region) according to requirements, and controls the drip level by adjusting the proportion of fully biodegradable yarn (i.e., a second environmentally friendly textile material) used in the drip level region. Specifically, a small amount or no relatively low melting point molten yarn (i.e., the second environmentally friendly textile material) is used in the drip level region (porous region), while a larger amount of relatively low melting point molten yarn is used in other regions (non-porous regions). After the irrigation pipe unit is partially woven, the same yarn or other yarns are used to continue weaving the weed cutter unit. After the entire fabric is woven, the irrigation pipe fabric is heat-set to form a complete irrigation pipe unit. During the heat-setting process, the yarn material inside the irrigation pipe melts, forming a thin film pore in the expected drip level region and a complete, uniform, gap-free film in other regions. Thus, the formed complete irrigation pipe unit achieves the dripping function in the expected drip level region.

[0152] As shown in Figure 10, based on a knitted sandwich structure, this disclosure provides a method for weaving irrigation pipe units and weed control fabric units. The method first sets three drip points (e.g., drip point 1, drip point 2, and drip point 3) in a 1m long irrigation pipe section according to usage requirements. PLA filaments (a second environmentally friendly textile material) and jute yarn (a first environmentally friendly textile material) are combined and woven to form the upper and lower layers of the sandwich structure fabric, respectively, for constructing the irrigation pipe unit section. Specifically, on the PLA surface of the upper layer, 150DX3 (three 150D diameter PLA filaments) are woven in the drip point area, and 150DX8 (eight PLA filaments) are woven in other areas of the upper layer. After the irrigation pipe unit section is woven, the use of PLA filaments is stopped, and only the jute yarn is retained to continue weaving the weed control fabric unit. After the overall woven fabric is completed, the irrigation pipe section undergoes heat setting (at approximately 190°C, the melting point of PLA) to form a complete irrigation pipe unit. During the heat setting process, the PLA yarn material inside the irrigation pipe melts. Because the drip area uses less PLA, a porous PLA film is formed after heat treatment. Other areas, with a larger amount of PLA, form a complete, uniform, non-porous film. Therefore, the final irrigation pipe unit achieves its dripping function in the intended dripping area.

[0153] In an exemplary embodiment, the irrigation pipeline unit portion is made using the first environmentally friendly textile material and the second biodegradable environmentally friendly textile material, comprising: forming a first layer of the irrigation pipeline unit portion using the first environmentally friendly textile material; and forming the porous region and the non-porous region in the second layer of the irrigation pipeline unit portion by stacking multiple layers of the second environmentally friendly textile material, wherein the thickness and / or melting point of the multiple layers of the second environmentally friendly textile material stacked in the porous region and the non-porous region are different.

[0154] In an exemplary embodiment, the first environmentally friendly textile material is made of 100% natural fibers or 100% fully biodegradable polymer materials.

[0155] In an exemplary embodiment, the first environmentally friendly textile material is made of 100% plant fiber.

[0156] In an exemplary embodiment, the second environmentally friendly textile material is made of 100% fully biodegradable polymer material.

[0157] In an exemplary embodiment, the first environmentally friendly textile material and the second environmentally friendly textile material have different melting points.

[0158] In an exemplary embodiment, the melting point of the second environmentally friendly textile material is lower than that of the first environmentally friendly textile material.

[0159] In an exemplary embodiment, the method provided by this disclosure further includes: forming a reserved position in the weeding cloth unit when manufacturing the weeding cloth unit; and placing a communication unit in the reserved position.

[0160] In this embodiment, the irrigation pipe unit portion can be prepared by cross-linking, i.e., the textile 5 described below can be used to prepare the irrigation pipe unit portion. The preparation method may include: providing at least one first yarn containing a vulcanizable material, wherein the vulcanizable material accounts for more than 20%; providing at least one second yarn, wherein the second yarn is a non-vulcanizable material; plying the at least one first yarn and the at least one second yarn to form a ply yarn; weaving the ply yarn to form an intermediate fabric with a structure; heating the intermediate fabric to cause at least a portion of its structure to undergo a cross-linking reaction, forming a micro-structure, thereby obtaining the textile. Vulcanizable materials refer to materials whose physical and mechanical properties can be improved through a vulcanization process.

[0161] The first yarn may contain both vulcanizable and non-vulcanizable materials, or may be made entirely of vulcanizable materials; the second yarn may be made entirely of non-vulcanizable materials.

[0183] In the preparation process, a ply yarn formed by the first yarn and the second yarn can be used, but this disclosure is not limited to this. The irrigation pipe can also be prepared using the first yarn and the second yarn alone, without the need for ply yarn.

[0184] In this embodiment, the irrigation pipe unit is prepared using a vulcanizable material. By coating the plant fibers with a vulcanizable material, leakage can be prevented. The weed control fabric unit can be made of 100% plant fiber (but not limited to this; other components can be added to achieve other functions, such as UV resistance), such as hemp or cotton, achieving breathability and water permeability. Because plant fibers are inherently breathable and water-permeable, and the woven structure has pores, it also achieves the desired breathability. It also provides good wear resistance and corrosion resistance; for example, jute has good wear resistance. Knitting can be used in the preparation, but other methods can also be used, such as woven or non-woven fabrics. Woven, knitted, and non-woven fabrics can also be arbitrarily combined and stacked to form the weed control fabric unit and / or irrigation pipe unit.

[0185] The preparation method disclosed herein also includes post-treatment or finishing steps on the obtained textile. For example, the obtained textile may be subjected to composite finishing processes such as flocking, thermal bonding, coating, lamination, and impregnation using vulcanizable fibers or nonwoven fabrics containing more than 20% vulcanizable fiber content; or the obtained textile may be subjected to mechanical or chemical finishing processes such as dyeing, desizing, stretching, wrinkle prevention, napping, mechanical pre-shrinking, calendering, embossing, flame retardant treatment, and oil repellency treatment, etc. This results in the final textile possessing further enhanced functionality.

[0186] The textiles prepared by the method disclosed herein exhibit higher flexibility. Simultaneously, the method can improve the mechanical properties of the textiles. Furthermore, the unique novel morphological appearance of the fabric surface formed by the cross-linking reaction can also have specific functional effects on the fabric: for example, forming specific arrangements within the fabric's internal structure, creating channels for the movement of fluids such as water or air, thereby improving moisture management, thermal insulation, and breathability, making it suitable for applications involving controlled temperature and humidity fluids, such as agricultural weeding or irrigation textiles.

[0187] It should be noted that the flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative and do not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor do they necessarily have to be performed in the described order. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, while others can be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.
