[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] MACHINE LEARNING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED MICROGREENSAND MUSHROOM CULTIVATION BOX AND A METHOD THEREOF

[0003] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0004] The invention relates to a device specifically developed for the cultivation of organic micro-greens and mushrooms in a home environment, as well as a system that enables users to efficiently, healthily, and rapidly grow their products by performing automatic adjustments specific to the selected plant or mushroom species through this device.

[0005] STATE OF THE ART

[0006] Today, various applications and methods are used for the purpose of plant and mushroom cultivation. The most important determining factors herein are the cultivation period and geography, which dictate the feasibility of meeting requirements such as temperature, humidity, and lighting. Depending on the type and quantity of the product to be cultivated, the chosen method enables the cultivation of said product by fulfilling these conditions.

[0007] Some of the existing applications related to the technical field include:

[0008] Hydroponic and Aeroponic Systems, which allow plants to be grown without soil. Although some systems include features that automate humidity and light adjustments, they generally have disadvantages such as being optimized only for specific plants and not being suitable for mushroom cultivation; requiring continuous manual control and intervention from the user; having limited or nonexistent loT integration; lacking machine learning and artificial intelligence support; and therefore being unable to learn or adapt to user habits.

[0009] Small-Scale Micro-green and Mushroom Growing Kits, where certain starter kits exist in the market. However, these kits typically require manual watering and humidification and do not include smart systems. Their disadvantages include the necessity of manually adjusting environmental factors (humidity, temperature, light),low product efficiency due to the inability to provide a stable growth environment, and complexity for users lacking technical knowledge.

[0010] Smart Garden Products (loT-Based) provide some degree of automation for plant cultivation. For example, humidity and temperature sensors are used for automatic watering and lighting. However, these systems also have disadvantages such as not being optimized for mushroom cultivation, lacking self-improving features driven by machine learning and Al, and generally being compatible with only a limited number of plant species.

[0011] Technical Problems of Existing Methods

[0012] 1. Lack of User Experience:

[0013] • Current devices require manual control from the user, which is impractical especially for busy individuals living in urban environments.

[0014] • Application support is limited and does not offer personalization for the user.

[0015] 2. Lack of Optimization:

[0016] • Existing systems cannot automatically adjust humidity, temperature, and light levels specific to the plant or mushroom species.

[0017] • Their ability to adapt to environmental changes is limited.

[0018] 3. Absence of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence:

[0019] • Current systems cannot learn user habits or environmental changes and cannot optimize their settings accordingly.

[0020] Advantages of Our Invention

[0021] • Al and Machine Learning: The device automatically optimizes environmental factors based on the type of product being grown and improves itself by learning user habits.

[0022] • loT Integration: Enables remote monitoring and control via a mobile application.

[0023] • User-Friendly: Can be used without technical knowledge, offering a fully automatic experience.

[0024] • Multi-Purpose Use: Optimized for both micro-greens and mushroom cultivation.The document with publication number CN214546175U summarizes the invention as follows:

[0025] “The mushroom cultivation box consists of a box body, a box door, a cultivation plate, and a liquid guiding pipe. The box door is rotatably mounted to the front surface of the box body via a hinge; sliding strips are fixed to both inner walls of the box body using bolts, and sliding grooves corresponding to the sliding strips are formed at the midpoints of both sides of the cultivation plate. The cultivation plate is slidably placed into the box body through the cooperation of the sliding grooves and sliding strips. A cultivation groove is formed at the center of the upper surface of the cultivation plate, which is filled with a substrate layer. A liquid guiding pipe is mounted to the center of the upper part of the box body. An atomization nozzle is fixed to the end of the liquid guiding pipe located inside the box body via a bolt. According to the mushroom harvesting box, the sliding strips match the sliding grooves, enabling the cultivation plates to be removed from inside the box body; the mushrooms grown on the plates can then be collected. This facilitates mushroom cultivation and harvesting and increases harvesting efficiency.”

[0026] The document with publication number CN217790712U summarizes the invention as follows:

[0027] “The utility model presents a mushroom seedling cultivation box comprising a box body in which a rotating shaft is mounted; the lower end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a drive motor. A cultivation frame is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and the cultivation box is placed onto the cultivation frame. A lamp holder is positioned on one side of the box body, and an illumination lamp is installed on the lamp holder, which is rotatably connected to the drive motor. A guide pipe is arranged on the opposite side of the lamp holder; the guide pipe passes through the box body and is fixedly connected to a first water tank. A watering nozzle is fixed to the guide pipe. Multiple small holes are formed on the bottom surface of the cultivation box, and an inclined flow-guiding plate is fixed to its lower part facing the rotating shaft. Deflectors are fixed to both sides of the flow-guiding plate, with their upper ends secured to the cultivation frame.

[0028] In the shiitake mushroom cultivation box, excess water is discharged via the flowguiding plate. The silt carried by the water flows to the bottom of the box body,eliminating the problem of accumulated water soaking the shiitake mushroom seedlings.”

[0029] The document with publication number CN205584850U summarizes the invention as follows:

[0030] “The utility model describes an edible mushroom cultivation box comprising a cultivation box equipped with a base at its lower part. The left and right upper sides of the cultivation box are respectively equipped with optical line sensors and a temperature sensor. The upper right surface of the cultivation box is equipped with an electric expansion plate, while the upper left inner side is equipped with an LED lamp. A water tank is connected to a slotted board via a liquid supply pipe.

[0031] In this edible mushroom cultivation box, through the cooperation of the electric expansion plate, the temperature sensor, and the optical line sensors, the controller turns on the LED lamp to illuminate the mushroom; water from the tank is sprayed through the liquid supply pipe to irrigate the mushroom. This system improves the mushroom growth rate, adjusts light intensity and temperature via sensor feedback, allows switching between manual and natural cultivation modes, and contributes to resource savings.”

[0039] The invention also aims to incorporate sustainability and eco-friendly features. By ensuring efficient resource usage, it minimizes water, energy, and soil consumption. It enables users to grow organic products at home, reducing reliance on chemically processed store-bought goods. With these features, the invention contributes to a healthier lifestyle, fresher and organic produce, and overall sustainability.

[0040] The invention allows users to grow micro-greens and mushrooms at home or in commercial environments with minimal effort and maximum efficiency. With user-friendly automation, Al-supported control, and loT integration, it offers a vastly superior experience compared to existing systems.

[0069] In this detailed description, the preferred alternatives of the device and method structure of the invention are explained solely for the purpose of better understanding the subject, without creating any limiting effect.

[0070] The invention is characterized by the assembly of a microcontroller (1.1), a temperature and humidity sensor (1.2), a water reservoir (1.5), a humidifier, and a gasket (4) contained within a lower box (1) as shown in Figures 3 and 4; a lower box lid (2); a seed box (5) into which the seeds of the product to be cultivated are placed and a seed box lid (6); a wick (3); lateral slats (7); plexiglass partitions (10) combined via slats (7); and LED lighting units (8), all of which together form the structure illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 for the purpose of cultivating mushrooms and greens.

[0071] In the invention, the cultivation cabin may be configured as a single layer or as two or more layers as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. Transparent plexiglass partitions (10) are inserted into the internal grooves of the slats (7) shown in Figure 8, forming the sides of each layer of the cabin. The bottom of the cabin is first formed using the wick (3) shown in Figure 7 and the plexiglass partition (10) surrounded by this wick. For the upper side, the middle wick (9), containing another plexiglass partition (10), is used. If the cabin is to be constructed with multiple layers, the same process is repeated for each upper layer. The cabin, assembled above the lower box lid (2) mounted on the lower box (1), is then attached to the lower box through an interlocking structure.

[0072] In the invention, the seed box (5) shown in Figure 5, which holds the seeds of the mushrooms or greens to be cultivated, consists of multiple compartments. The seeds are placed into the individual compartments of the seed box (5). The seed box lid (6), which has openings on its top surface to allow the product to sprout, is placed onto the seed box (5), and the assembly is then positioned inside the cabin.

[0073] The lower box (1), shown in Figure 9, contains the ESP32 microcontroller (1.1) responsible for communication with all sensors and devices and for managing theloT connection; the temperature and humidity sensor (1.2), which measures environmental temperature and humidity levels; a humidifier that generates water vapor to adjust humidity; the water reservoir (1.5) that supplies water to the humidifier; the fan outlet (1.4) with a sponge filter that purifies the outgoing air and allows carbon dioxide and spores to exit while removing excess humidity; and the fan inlet (1.3) equipped with a HEPA filter to clean incoming air and block harmful particles, thus providing sterile airflow. On the lower box lid (2), which is mounted on top of the lower box (1), there are corresponding compartments for the fan inlet and outlet (1.3, 1.4), as well as another compartment where the gasket (4) for the water reservoir (1.5) is positioned.

[0074] In the invention, LED lighting (8) is used to provide the ideal light spectrum required for plant / mushroom growth. Although the LED lighting units (8) may be placed anywhere within the device, they can also be positioned at the edges and / or upper areas that offer the most suitable illumination for the cultivated product.

[0075] Within the invention, at least one camera placed at any suitable location inside the cabin continuously monitors the growth process of the plant or mushroom and captures images. These images are analyzed through artificial intelligence algorithms and are used to adjust environmental parameters to achieve optimal growth conditions.

[0076] The invention includes a system that fully automates the plant or mushroom cultivation process for users. With its integrated sensors (1.2), loT connectivity, and modular design, the system continuously monitors and optimizes environmental conditions, providing the optimal growth environment specific to each plant / mushroom species During the initial setup and user selection, the user selects the plant or mushroom species through the Mobile Application (loT). The selection data is processed by the ESP32 Microcontroller (1.1), which adjusts the system’s operating parameters (humidity, temperature, light, airflow). During environmental monitoring, the temperature and humidity sensor (1.2) continuously measures the temperature and humidity levels and shares this data with the Microcontroller (1.1). The data is analyzed by comparing it with the target values for the selected species.Accordingly, the ventilation system draws clean air into the device through the fan inlet (1.3), which passes through a HEPA filter. The fan outlet (1.4) expels carbon dioxide and excess humidity from the environment. The outgoing air is purified using a sponge filter, preventing mushroom spores and harmful particles from spreading into the external environment. The HEPA filter sterilizes incoming air, ensuring a hygienic growth environment. In the lighting system, LED lighting (8) provides the optimum light spectrum for the chosen species. Light intensity and duration are controlled by the ESP32 Microcontroller (1.1). In the humidification system, the humidifier uses water from the water reservoir (1.5) to increase humidity levels when necessary. Once the target humidity level is reached, the humidifier automatically stops.

[0077] In the invention, in camera- and artificial-intelligence-supported optimization, the camera (with Machine Learning) continuously monitors the growth process of the plant or mushroom and analyzes the images. Machine learning algorithms evaluate leaf color, surface condition, and growth rate to optimize the growth process. As a result of this analysis, the LED lighting (8) may be adjusted, the speeds of the fan inlet (1.3) and fan outlet (1.4) may be changed, and the humidifier may be activated. In addition, the system informs the user via the Mobile Application (loT). For example: “Ambient humidity has reached 80%, matching target values.”, “Harvest time is approaching.”

[0078] The invention allows the device to increase its growing capacity when needed by using modular design components such as slats (7), plexiglass partitions (10), and wicks (3, 9, 11). The added modules operate in full harmony with the main unit, and their energy / data management is optimized by the ESP32 Microcontroller (1.1). The device can be mounted on any surface or suspended within a growing area using various mounting and hanging accessories. In the user's perspective regarding the operation of the invention device, the device is mounted on a surface or hung in a suitable place using mounting and hanging accessories. The water reservoir (1.5) is filled, and the electrical connection is established. The user downloads the mobile application and connects the device to Wi-Fi through the application. The user selects the type of plant or mushroom to be grown via the mobile application. Forexample, “Gray Oyster Mushroom” or “Wheatgrass.”. For starting the system, the user gives the “Start” command through the mobile application. The system automatically adjusts temperature, humidity, light, and airflow targets according to the growth requirements of the selected species. During the growth monitoring process, the user monitors the environmental conditions and the development of the plant / mushroom through the mobile application, and the system sends notifications when necessary (e.g., “Water level is low” or “Harvest time has arrived”). During harvest, at the end of the defined growth period, the application informs the user about the harvest time. The user removes the product from the device and cleans the device to prepare it for the next growth cycle.

[0079] In the algorithmic stages related to the operation of the invention device:

[0080] Stage 1: Initialization and Calibration

[0081] During Wi-Fi connection and initial data acquisition, the ESP32 Microcontroller (1.1) connects with the mobile application and waits for the user to select the plant / mushroom species. Then, during initial sensor readings, the Temperature and Humidity Sensor (1.2) measures the initial environmental conditions; these values are compared with the requirements of the selected species, and the water reservoir (1.5) level is checked.

[0082] Stage 2: Adjustment of Environmental Conditions

[0083] In adjusting the humidity level, if the ambient humidity is low, the humidifier is activated and operates until the humidity reaches the target value. In temperature control, the LED lighting (8) system may be activated to increase the ambient temperature. If necessary, the fan inlet (1.3) and fan outlet (1.4) are activated to increase air circulation. In airflow and CO2management, fresh air is drawn in through the fan inlet (1.3) and cleaned by the HEPA filter, while the fan outlet (1.4) expels carbon dioxide and excess humidity from the environment.

[0084] Stage 3: Continuous Monitoring and Optimization

[0085] Sensor data is continuously monitored. The Temperature and Humidity Sensor (1.2) continuously collects data. These data are compared with the requirements of the selected species, and if deviations are detected, adjustments are made. In machine learning and image analysis, the camera (with Machine Learning) monitors thegrowth of the plant / mushroom and analyzes the images. The images are evaluated by artificial intelligence algorithms, and if issues (e.g., mold, slow growth) are detected, the system automatically optimizes environmental conditions.

[0086] Stage 4: User Notifications

[0087] Status updates are made. The mobile application receives regular notifications regarding environmental conditions and the growth process (e.g., “Ambient temperature is 25°C, matching target value”). For harvest reminders, the system notifies the user when the growth cycle is complete.

[0088] Stage 5: Management of Modular Structure

[0089] Regarding use of additional modules, if the user has added modular design components, the system integrates the sensors and control mechanisms of these modules and optimizes operation in the expanded area. In energy and data management, each added module is monitored by the ESP32 Microcontroller (1.1), and all sensor (1.2) data are evaluated in an integrated manner.

[0090] Stage 6: Harvest and Cleaning

[0091] In system pause mode, before harvesting, the device is placed into pause mode. In the cleaning procedure, the user empties the water reservoir (1.5) and cleans the internal components of the device. The fans (1.3 and 1.4) and filters are checked and replaced when necessary.
