Description

Greenhouse with automatic cruise monitoring function
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of greenhouses, in particular to a greenhouse with an automatic cruise monitoring function.
Background
The existing plant factory/greenhouse mainly comprises a cultivation layer frame, an LED lamp, a cultivation bed, a planting plate, a corresponding nutrient solution circulating pipeline and the like. The LED lamp and the cultivation bed are fixed on the layer frame structure, and the planting plate is paved on the cultivation bed. In the cultivation process, the planting plate is taken out or put in together with the plants, so that the periodical planting of the plants is realized. At present, most plant factories are planted with the aim of realizing annual continuous production, fixed vegetables are produced every day, the inside of the factories needs to be sown, separately planted, harvested and the like every day, plants of different varieties and the same variety and different periods are distributed in the same cultivation area, even some bedded plant factories have plants of different periods on the same cultivation bed, the planting and harvesting are mutually interfered, especially, nutrient solution and clean cultivation facilities cannot be synchronously replaced after harvesting, and the problems of nutrient solution ion unbalance, cultivation bed algae and bacteria breeding and the like are caused. Simultaneously vegetables whole board when taking out and putting into on the bedstead, because plant roots can break away from the nutrient solution on the cultivation bed, can lead to plant roots damage, the blade bumps, takes the nutrient solution scheduling problem out, influences the quality of seedling, and nutrient solution drips to spill on the cultivation passageway in the handling simultaneously, brings very big troubles for production management. In addition, the artificial light source plant cultivation is characterized in that multilayer three-dimensional cultivation is adopted in the closed plant space, the land utilization rate is greatly improved, and efficient production is realized. The higher the floor height, the larger the utilization rate of the factory building, and the larger the effective cultivation area. However, to realize high-rise three-dimensional cultivation, the design difficulty of a factory building is larger along with the increase of the number of layers, and the technical problems including the load of cultivation equipment, the difficulty and safety of the operation of putting on and off the shelf, the automation degree, the accurate regulation and control of nutrient solution and an environment control system and the like are larger, most of the current plant factories are within 6 and 7 layers, and the three-dimensional cultivation systems with high layers (20-30 layers or more) are few. In addition, the cleaning operation of the cultivation shelves at each floor in the high-rise plant cultivation factory is also a big problem, which not only requires much labor, but also requires the operator to climb to each floor by using tools. Because the space of the plant cultivation layer is limited, the personnel operation is difficult, and potential safety hazards are brought to the personnel working high above the ground for high-rise buildings.
For example, chinese patent publication No. CN112840906A discloses an intelligent plant factory. This intelligence plant factory includes: a warehouse comprising a sterilizing chamber, a planting chamber and a laboratory; the goods shelf and the manipulator are used for clamping the plants planted on the planting plate; the mechanical arm is connected with a traveling mechanism, is used for driving the mechanical arm to move and is provided with a first sterilization device; the moving frame is used for placing the mechanical arm, and the mechanical arm moves in the horizontal direction relative to the goods shelf; the vertical driving mechanism is arranged on the moving frame and used for driving the mechanical arm to move along the vertical direction relative to the moving frame; the receiving mechanism is provided with a transferring mechanism at the side and comprises a plurality of object placing units, the receiving mechanism can display and receive the plants clamped by the manipulator and transfer the plants into the object placing units, and a second sterilizing device for sterilizing the object placing units is arranged on the receiving mechanism; the transfer mechanism is used for transferring the plants in the storage unit into the laboratory. The invention has the effect of optimizing the process of testing and monitoring the plants by workers. However, the invention still has the following technical defects: 1) The invention has low automation degree, and a plurality of operation steps in the production process still need more manpower to participate in the operation, so that the operation cost of the whole plant factory/production process is further improved, namely, an unmanned/automatic production line comprising the whole plant production flow from plant sowing to plant harvesting, grading sorting, packaging and shipping is lacked; 2) Scanning/shooting plant images in a large area through a camera in the actual production process of a plant factory is high in cost, very tedious and time-consuming, especially, a color or full-color picture is shot through the camera for identification, and a moving platform in the inspection device needs to continuously adjust the focal length among a plurality of different positions so as to shoot the color or full-color picture which can be used for image identification. The control part recognizes the data quantity processed by the color or full-color pictures in the follow-up image recognition, and the processing process needs to recognize and analyze the plants at different positions in different time periods regularly or irregularly, so that the recognition through the color or full-color pictures is large in the data quantity to be processed by the image processing recognition, the processing speed of the control part on the color or full-color pictures is low, the maximum driving speed of the mobile platform of the plant cruise monitoring device is limited by the picture processing speed of the control part and cannot be too high, the area of the plant factory/greenhouse which can be patrolled by the plant cruise monitoring device in unit time is obviously affected, namely, the efficiency of the plant cruise monitoring device in patrolling is reduced, or more plant monitoring devices are required to be simultaneously put into use to meet the daily patrol requirement of the plant factory/greenhouse. Therefore, there is a need for improvement in response to the deficiencies of the prior art.
Furthermore, on the one hand, due to the differences in understanding to the person skilled in the art; on the other hand, since the applicant has studied a great deal of documents and patents in making the present invention, but not the details and contents thereof listed therein, the present invention is by no means characterized by those prior art, but by the fact that the present invention has all the features of the prior art, and the applicant reserves the right to add related art to the background art.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a greenhouse with an automatic cruise monitoring function. The greenhouse at least comprises a three-dimensional cultivation frame and a nutrient solution circulating supply unit.
The three-dimensional cultivation frame is provided with at least one planting layer. Each of the planting layers is configured to be available for planting plants.
The nutrient solution circulating supply unit can be at least communicated with the planting layer.
The control unit can be at least used for acquiring nutrient solution data of the nutrient solution circularly supplied by the nutrient solution circulating supply unit.
The control unit is configured to be capable of supplying the nutrient solution required for the growth of the plant to the plant by circulating the nutrient solution through the nutrient solution circulation supply unit at least based on the growth requirement of the plant.
Preferably, the stereoscopic cultivation shelf can be provided with a plurality of layers, wherein the cultivation shelf of each layer can be provided with a plurality of cultivation blocks. The cultivation block is used for installing at least one cultivation plate for planting plants. Preferably, a special track for the movement of the plant cruise monitoring device can be arranged around the cultivation frame, so that the plant cruise monitoring device can at least periodically or aperiodically identify the pest and disease damage/growth state of the plants planted in the three-dimensional cultivation frame along the special track.
In the prior art, a mobile platform of the plant cruise monitoring device performs image recognition by using a camera equipped with the mobile platform so as to judge the growth state of plants. For example, chinese patent publication No. CN109154978A discloses a system and method for detecting plant diseases. The system relates to extraction of plant features for judging plant diseases, which starts with color distribution to judge disease spots and the like. However, scanning/shooting the plant image with a camera in a large area during the actual production process of the plant factory is costly, cumbersome and time-consuming, especially to shoot a color or full-color picture for identification, and the moving platform in the inspection device needs to adjust the focal distance continuously among a plurality of different positions to shoot the color or full-color picture which can be used for image identification. The control part recognizes the data quantity processed by the color or full-color pictures in the follow-up image recognition, and the processing process needs to recognize and analyze the plants at different positions in different time periods regularly or irregularly, so that the recognition through the color or full-color pictures is large in the data quantity to be processed by the image processing recognition, the processing speed of the control part on the color or full-color pictures is low, the maximum driving speed of the mobile platform of the plant cruise monitoring device is limited by the picture processing speed of the control part and cannot be too high, the area of the plant factory/greenhouse which can be patrolled by the plant cruise monitoring device in unit time is obviously affected, namely, the efficiency of the plant cruise monitoring device in patrolling is reduced, or more plant monitoring devices are required to be simultaneously put into use to meet the daily patrol requirement of the plant factory/greenhouse.
Preferably, the factors affecting the growth state of the plant are mainly classified into a first priority, a second priority and a third priority.
Preferably, the first priority comprises a stem and/or leaf morphology/profile.
Preferably, the second priority includes lesion morphology, lesion location, and lesion area.
Preferably, the third priority includes a foreign object distribution. The foreign body distribution may be a distribution of locations including insect/fungal alleles in the plant.
Preferably, the plant cruise monitoring device can also monitor hardware equipment in the plant factory/greenhouse through the camera. For example, the plant cruising monitoring device can monitor whether an LED lamp belonging to the light source unit is damaged or not, whether a nutrient solution unit has a liquid leakage phenomenon or not and the like through the camera.
Further, since most plants are affected by diseases during the diseased process, abnormal changes in phenotype, such as leaf atrophy, slow growth, etc., occur. In addition, the area of the plants in the cultivation plates photographed by the camera is small (for example, the area of one cultivation plate is approximately between 40cmX80 cm), and the number of the plants on one cultivation plate photographed by the camera is small; more importantly, the preliminary disease and/or pest identification (such as whether the growth state of the plant is normal or not, and when the growth state of the plant is not normal, the plant is further photographed, identified and analyzed) in the plant factory/greenhouse can be carried out without using color or full-color pictures/videos. Although there are many mature image recognition technologies in the prior art, if a camera is used to take a color or full-color picture during the whole process of recognizing plant diseases and/or insect pests, the requirements of hardware and software required by these recognition technologies are high, which inevitably brings unnecessary production cost to the plant factory/greenhouse. For example, a black-and-white map occupies a memory of 1600 × 900 × 2bit and is a single channel; the memory occupied by one gray scale map is 1600 × 900 × 8 bits; the memory occupied by a color picture is 1600 × 900 × 16bit; the memory occupied by a full color map is 1600 × 900 × 24bit; considering that the first detection unit carried by the first shuttle vehicle has a limited memory capacity, the first detection unit has a limited capability of processing data of the image, and the data processing/compression requirements of the black-and-white image with respect to the grayscale image and the color image are significantly reduced, especially by an order of magnitude with respect to the data processing/compression requirements of the color image and the full-color image. In addition, the first detection unit arranged on the first shuttle trolley does not need to focus with high precision when shooting black and white images, so that inspection can be carried out at a high speed. Therefore, when the plant cruise monitoring device inspects the plant factory/greenhouse to shoot the planted plants, the tissue form of the plants can be used as the first priority for judging the growth state of the plants, namely when the plant cruise monitoring device shoots the plants in the cultivation frame, the control part can extract the approximate tissue shape/outline of the plants (such as stems/leaves) in the black-and-white picture by shooting the black-and-white picture of the plants, and the extracted approximate tissue shape/outline can be used as a basis for judging whether the plants have diseases and/or insect pests. When plants suffer from diseases and/or pests, obvious characteristics such as leaf atrophy, stalk bending and the like can be generated, and the characteristics can be extracted through black and white pictures without using color or full-color pictures. The invention aims to solve the technical problem of how to preliminarily identify whether the growth state of the plant is normal and improve the monitoring speed of the plant cruise monitoring device by taking a black-and-white picture with lower cost.
Preferably, the plant cruise monitoring device is provided with a camera for shooting the plants planted in the stereoscopic cultivation rack. Preferably, the camera used by the plant cruising monitoring device does not need to adopt a high-resolution camera to shoot a color or full-color picture, but only needs a lower-resolution camera to shoot a black and white picture of the plant in the cultivation plate.
Particularly preferably, the plant cruise monitoring device can directly analyze and identify the black-and-white picture preliminarily through the camera without sending the black-and-white picture to the control unit or other modules for identification and analysis.
Preferably, the camera is capable of sending only the coordinate/position information corresponding to the black and white picture for identifying that the growth state of the corresponding plant is abnormal to the control unit.
Preferably, the camera is capable of recording the coordinate/position information of the cultivation plate corresponding to the camera when the camera does not perform a shooting operation once. Preferably, the coordinate/position information may be: the first cultivation plate of the first layer of the first three-dimensional cultivation frame.
And when the plant cruise monitoring device identifies that the growth state of the plant corresponding to the black-white picture is abnormal based on the judgment result of the control part on the black-white picture, the shooting mode is changed or a camera for identifying plant diseases and insect pests is used for shooting the gray-scale image of the plant in the area. Preferably, the gray-scale map can be used for distinguishing/identifying the lesion form, the lesion position and the lesion area belonging to the third priority, and taking a color or full-color picture according to the lesion position of a part of the plants.
Preferably, the color or full-color picture is mainly used for distinguishing/identifying the foreign substance distribution belonging to the third priority. The foreign bodies may comprise a positional distribution of the pests/fungi alleles in the plant.
When the camera judges the tissue form or the outline of the plant in the black-and-white picture through identification, the preliminary identification is carried out. For example, when the contour, plant height, etc. of the plant leaf in the black-and-white picture are obviously different from the contour, plant height, etc. of the normal leaf of the plant, and/or the characteristics with obvious changes, such as leaf atrophy, stalk bending, etc., appear, the growth state of the plant in the black-and-white picture is judged to be abnormal by the camera; and if the obviously changed form/contour characteristics do not appear in the black-and-white picture, judging the growth state of the plant in the black-and-white picture to be normal by the camera. Preferably, the camera is capable of sending the preliminary recognition determination result to a control part of the plant factory/greenhouse.
When the growth state of the plants growing in a certain cultivation plate is identified to be abnormal through the black-and-white picture, a camera which is arranged on the plant cruise monitoring device and used for identifying plant diseases and insect pests is started, and the plants in the cultivation plate corresponding to the black-and-white picture are shot.
Particularly preferably, the camera for identifying pests and diseases can send the gray-scale map and/or the color picture to a control unit of the plant factory/greenhouse, and the gray-scale map and/or the color picture are further identified and analyzed by the control unit.
Compared with the mode that the color images of the plants in the cultivation plate are directly collected through the camera, on one hand, the data size required to be processed by the control part for image recognition is huge due to the fact that the occupied memory of the color images/videos is large, and finally the processing speed of analyzing diseases and/or insect pests through the camera based on the image recognition is not high, so that the maximum speed of the mobile platform capable of running on the special track is low, and the mobile platform cannot meet the daily inspection monitoring requirements of large-area plant factories; and shoot the black and white picture through the camera and carry out the preliminary discernment of disease and/or insect pest to the plant in the cultivation frame, can directly come the growth state of preliminary discernment plant through the camera and need not the control part, thereby improve the processing speed of preliminary discernment, further after the processing speed of preliminary discernment improves, moving platform's moving speed also can obtain showing ground and improve, thereby whether the growth state of ensureing preliminary discernment plant normal basis improve the monitoring rate to plant in the plant factory, increase the monitoring area to the plant that grows on the cultivation board in the plant factory in the unit interval.
Meanwhile, when the control part obtains the initial identification judgment result of the camera and the result is abnormal, the control part can send a control signal for adjusting the moving speed to the moving platform of the plant cruise monitoring device. For example, after receiving the control signal for adjusting the moving speed sent by the control part, the moving platform of the plant cruise monitoring device immediately reduces the moving speed (for example, reduces the speed from five kilometers per hour to two kilometers per hour or directly reduces the speed to zero) so that the camera of the plant cruise monitoring device for identifying the plant diseases and insect pests can increase the residence time near the cultivation plate corresponding to the preliminary identification and judgment result, so that the camera for identifying the plant diseases and insect pests can more clearly shoot the gray-scale map and/or the color picture for the plants on the cultivation plate corresponding to the abnormal black and white picture.
Preferably, the control part is also capable of acquiring first position information of the plant cruise monitoring device in real time. Preferably, the plant cruise monitoring device can send first position information recorded in real time by a positioning module arranged in the plant cruise monitoring device to the control part through a wireless transmission module.
Preferably, the first position information is used for identifying a cruising path of the plant cruising monitoring apparatus.
The plant cruising monitoring device can send the second position information of the cultivation plate corresponding to the black-and-white picture or the position of the plant suffering from the diseases and/or the insect pests, which is used for representing the position of the plant suffering from the diseases and/or the insect pests, to the control part through the wireless transmission module. Preferably, the control section is capable of adjusting an illumination scheme of the LED lamp in the light source unit corresponding to the second position information based on the second position information.
Preferably, the second position information may comprise the number or position of the cultivation plate where the abnormally growing plant is located. For example, the second location information may be: the first cultivation plate is positioned on the first layer of the first cultivation shelf.
Preferably, the second location information may also include two or three dimensional coordinates where the disease and/or pest is located on the plant.
For example, the plant cruise monitoring device normally runs along a special track, and a black-and-white picture is shot by the camera so as to preliminarily judge whether the growth state of the plant shot by the camera is normal. When the control part does not receive the second position information, the light source unit provides the plants in the plant/greenhouse with the corresponding illumination in the first mode (i.e. the normal illumination supply scheme of the light source unit for the corresponding growth stage of the corresponding kind of plants). And when the control part receives the second position information, the control part adjusts the LED lamp in the light source unit corresponding to the second position information to adjust the lighting scheme. For example, the brightness of the LED lamp in the light source unit corresponding to the second position information is increased; and when the plant cruise monitoring device leaves the cultivation plate area corresponding to the second position information, the LED in the light source unit corresponding to the second position information is restored to the first mode again.
For example, when a camera for identifying plant diseases and insect pests shoots the scab form of the leaves, the LED lamp in the light source unit corresponding to the cultivation plate of the plant leaves needs to be reduced to medium brightness, that is, the brightness cannot be too high to avoid the blur of the scab form caused by excessive exposure.
For another example, because the same object (such as a plant) may exhibit colors under light sources having the same color temperature but different color renderings, and the object can be intuitively perceived to have a color rendering better (i.e., the higher the color rendering index), the closer the color exhibited by the object is to the true color, thereby further facilitating the recognition and analysis of color pictures/videos. Therefore, the control part can further adjust the color rendering index CRI provided by the LED lamp in the light source unit corresponding to the second position information so as to further identify the type and severity level of the disease and/or pest through the camera for identifying the disease and pest. For example, after the color rendering index CRI provided by the LED lamp in the light source unit corresponding to the second position information is adjusted, a high-quality color picture can be obtained, so that the overall appearance of the plant can be obtained, and whether disease features such as withered yellow, stripes, spots and the like appear in the tissue parts such as leaves, stems and the like of the plant is judged based on the overall appearance of the plant. Meanwhile, the comparison of the health overall appearance of the plant and the overall appearance of the current state can also show whether the plant has the problems of leaf curl, yellow edge and the like, so that the problem of water shortage or large light intensity is judged. Through the overall appearance of the healthy plants stored in the system, the plants in different states can be qualitatively or quantitatively detected whether the abnormality occurs. For example, the currently monitored plants have a qualitative change in leaf color, such as a change to yellow, compared to the green color of healthy plant leaves. The yellow leaves, in combination with the shape of their yellow patches, allow the system to determine the presence or absence of plant diseases such as the appearance of disease-like patches. The quantitative change in leaf color, such as green fade, of the currently monitored plants compared to the green color of healthy plant leaves. The green color becomes lighter, meaning that less chlorophyll is present in the plant leaf, and there is a possibility that trace elements may be absent.
Particularly preferably, the light source unit further comprises a light emitting panel subunit disposed above the plant roots of the cultivation panel. The light-emitting board subunit is configured to emit light required by the plants toward a backlight surface (i.e., a side facing the ground) of the plant leaves. Preferably, the control part can also adjust the lighting illumination of the light-emitting board subunit so as to adjust the lighting scheme of the light-emitting board subunit on the backlight surface of the plant leaf, so that the vein of the plant leaf is clearer to facilitate further identification of diseases and/or insect pests. For example, the adjustment of the lighting scheme may include: the brightness, color rendering index CRI, spectral distribution, etc. of the light provided by the light board subunit is adjusted (e.g. increased or decreased). For example, certain disease and/or pest specific diagnostic identifications require only a white spectrum, while other disease and/or pest diagnostic identifications require only a red spectrum of light. Through the configuration mode, the control part can adjust the lighting scheme of the LED lamp in the light source unit corresponding to the second position information when the gray scale image and/or the color image are further shot through the camera used for identifying the plant diseases and insect pests, so that the light conditions around the cultivation plate corresponding to the second position information can meet the light requirement for shooting the needed gray scale image and/or the color image.
Particularly preferably, the plant cruise detection device is further provided with a disease removing manipulator for grabbing the disease and/or pest part corresponding to the second position information or the diseased whole plant. In this way, the spread of the disease and/or pest to other areas can be prevented from causing disease and/or pest cross-infection between plants.

According to a preferred embodiment, a light source unit is further included. The light source unit can provide illumination for the plants planted on the planting bed through an artificial light source arranged on one side, far away from the plants, of the planting layer. The control unit can adjust the artificial light source of the light source unit. Preferably, the artificial light source may be an LED lighting device.
According to a preferred embodiment, a shuttle trolley is arranged in the three-dimensional cultivation frame.

For example, subsequent processing procedures may include packaging by a packaging machine, weighing, labeling, parallel robot binning, pre-chill storage, hand pack gift box, automobile shipment, and the like.
If the quality detection camera detects that the quality of the plant harvested by the harvesting manipulator is qualified, the plant harvested by the harvesting manipulator is transferred into a waste collection box.

For example, the same vegetable (for example, tomato) planted in the same batch of cultivation plates all have different qualities, for example, the tomato fruits have different sizes and the average diameter of the tomato fruits is slightly smaller, and then the control unit can trace back the growth history data of the batch so as to optimize the planting process of the plants. For example, the optical formula data, the nutrient solution data, the temperature and humidity data and the carbon dioxide supply data required by the plants are counted and compared, and through the accumulation of multiple batches of data, the control unit can conclude a better scheme suitable for the growth of the plants, so that the quality of planting the plants in a plant factory is improved.

The crop growth has strong dependence on the proper environmental temperature, and the heating of the greenhouse is the most energy-consuming operation of the large greenhouse. The precise heating, namely the heating of the local part of the plant becomes a new energy-saving idea. For many crops, the temperature of the root is decisive for growth, so that the first temperature control pipeline is laid on the side wall of the cultivation plate (such as the side wall of the seedling hole) to finish accurate heating only by heating the root of the plant.
Particularly preferably, a temperature control unit is also included. Preferably, the temperature control unit comprises at least a temperature control conduit. Preferably, the temperature controlled conduits comprise a first temperature controlled conduit and a second temperature controlled conduit. Preferably, the first temperature control pipeline is disposed around the seedling hole of the cultivation plate to adjust an ambient temperature around the root of the plant planted in the seedling hole. Particularly preferably, the first temperature-control duct is capable of forming a closed microenvironment with the culture substrate in the seedling holes of the culture plate, so that the control unit is capable of adjusting the temperature of the culture substrate in the seedling holes of the culture plate through the first temperature-control duct.

Preferably, the control unit is capable of precisely adjusting the temperature environment of the roots of the plants based on the kind of the plants planted in the seedling holes on the cultivation plate. Preferably, each cultivation plate has a unique number so that the plants grown in the cultivation plate correspond.
Through this configuration, first temperature control pipeline can form confined microenvironment with the downthehole culture medium of growing seedlings of planting the board, so that control unit can carry out accurate ground temperature regulation through temperature regulating device and the first temperature control pipeline and the first pipeline that are linked together with temperature regulating device to the downthehole culture medium of growing seedlings on the cultivation board and form confined microenvironment, thereby avoid carrying out temperature regulation through temperature regulating device to the whole environment of whole plant factory, and then the energy consumption and the operation cost that have significantly reduced whole plant factory. For example, when the plant roots planted in the seedling holes on the cultivation plate are in a proper temperature environment, the temperature heating/cooling requirement of the whole plant factory can be properly reduced. For example, the precise heating/cooling can reduce the heating/cooling requirement of the plant factory by about five to fifteen ℃; the general height of a multi-span plant factory is more than four meters, the indoor area is large, and the accurate heating obviously reduces the heating/cooling area in the plant factory, thereby reducing the heating/cooling energy consumption.
Particularly preferably, a second temperature control pipeline is further arranged in the cultivation shelf. Preferably, each layer of the cultivation shelf is provided with a second temperature control pipeline. Preferably, the second temperature controlled conduit is primarily used for temperature regulation of the microenvironment around the stem/leaf/fruit parts of the plants grown in the cultivation boards on the cultivation shelves, to assist in fruit turning and/or to maintain crop temperature. Preferably, the height of the second temperature control pipe can be flexibly set/adjusted according to different types of plants corresponding to the second temperature control pipe. Preferably, the second temperature control conduit is capable of communicating with other temperature control devices. Other temperature control devices include, but are not limited to: central air conditioner, circulating fan.
Preferably, the control unit is capable of adjusting the temperature of the fluid flowing through the second temperature control pipeline arranged around the plants in the cultivation plate by controlling the other temperature control devices, so as to adjust the temperature of the microenvironment of the plant stems/leaves/fruits and the like near the second temperature control pipeline. Through this configuration, the control unit can set up the temperature of the fluidic that second temperature control pipeline circulated around the plant in the cultivation inboard through controlling other temperature regulating device and then adjusting, and then adjusts the temperature that is located partial microenvironment such as near plant stem/leaf/fruit of second temperature control pipeline to avoid adjusting the temperature of the inside big environment of whole plant factory through other temperature regulating device and reduce the consumption of electric power remarkably, finally reach the purpose that reduces the energy consumption and then reduce the manufacturing cost of whole plant factory.
When the plant cruise monitoring device detects that plants planted on a culture plate are mature, the plant cruise monitoring device (or other sensors) sends first data information to the control unit. Preferably, the control unit is capable of acquiring first data information sent by the plant cruise monitoring device in real time. Preferably, the first data information may include, but is not limited to: the name of the type of plant to be planted on the plate, the quantity of the plant, the growing period (whether the mature period is reached or the plant can be harvested), and the number of the planting shelf (for example, the grid of the layer of the planting shelf). When the control unit acquires first data information (in real time/non-real time) sent by the plant cruise monitoring device, the control unit sends first position information (such as a few grids on a few layers of a few cultivation shelves) to the space transfer trolley. Preferably, the space transportation vehicle is capable of acquiring the first position information sent by the control unit to the space transportation vehicle in real time/non-real time. Preferably, the space transfer trolley can automatically move to the cultivation plate corresponding to the first position information based on the first position information.
The remote control unit can be used to control the movement of the mobile platform. In the case where the remote control unit is capable of acquiring the first data, the remote control unit is configured to be capable of predicting yield of plants within the area to be detected based on at least the acquired first data. For example, the plant cruise monitoring device periodically (for example, daily) inspects the area a to be detected, and identifies the plant images/videos acquired by the data acquisition camera through the remote control unit based on the image identification technology/artificial intelligence technology, so as to identify and count the number and diameter of the fruits/buds of the plants (for example, tomatoes, cucumbers and the like) planted in the area a to be detected. And the remote control unit can more accurately predict/estimate the harvest quantity of the batch of plants at the time based on the past historical fruit/bud output condition of the plants at the same period and the final plant fruit harvest quantity. For example, when the yield of the fruit/flower bud of the same type of plant in the current batch is increased by 30% compared with the yield of the same type of plant in the previous batch, which is the same or approximately the same as the growth environment of the previous batch, the remote control unit predicts or estimates that the yield of the same type of plant in the current batch is increased by 30% compared with the yield of the previous batch. Since the planting environment in the whole area to be detected (e.g. greenhouse or plant factory) is accurately controlled and monitored by the control unit of the plant factory, i.e. the growing environment and the growing history data of the plants planted in each batch can be traced back and accurately adjusted, the yield of the plants growing in the greenhouse or plant factory can be predicted more accurately under the same or approximately the same growing environment. For example, the proportion and the dosage of the nutrient solution, the light formula scheme, the temperature and the humidity, the carbon dioxide supply and the like of the plants in each batch are all planting schemes formed after multiple times of optimization, so that the growth environment of each batch of plants is not changed greatly/approximately the same. Even if the growth regime/environmental factor of a certain type of plant is changed because the yield of that type of plant is optimized, the remote control unit is able to record the adjusted/changed environmental factor. The remote control unit can analyze and compare the planted historical yield corresponding to the adjusted/changed environmental factors in multiple batches, and then generalize the change relation between each environmental factor and the yield of the plant, so that the yield of the plant predicted for the first time by the remote control unit can be further corrected. For example, the growth scheme of the lettuce batch is optimized only for one environmental factor (such as the carbon dioxide concentration of the lettuce batch is increased by 5% compared with the carbon dioxide concentration of the environmental factor of the previous batch), while the actual yield of the lettuce batch is increased by 10%. If other environmental factors are optimized in the lettuce growth scheme, for example, the temperature around the roots and/or stems of the plants in the seedling stage is adjusted to two degrees with the optimal lettuce growth scheme, and the actual yield of the lettuce in the current batch is only increased by 10%, the remote control unit does not incorporate the environmental factor of the temperature around the roots and/or stems of the plants in the seedling stage into the lettuce yield prediction model in the next lettuce yield prediction. Through the configuration mode, through comparison and analysis of the historical yield for multiple times, the remote control unit can analyze and compare the planted historical yields corresponding to the adjusted/changed environmental factors through multiple batches, and further generalize the change relation between each environmental factor and the yield of the plant, so that the plant yield predicted for the first time by the remote control unit can be further corrected, and finally, the yield of the plant in the region to be detected can be accurately predicted.
