Description
The technical field is as follows: the invention relates to the technical field of plant cultivation, in particular to a plant cultivation layer and an intelligent plant cultivation tower.
Background art:
with the rapid development of the petrochemical industry and the heavy industry, industrial wastewater, waste residues, domestic sewage and garbage are discharged in large quantities, so that harmful pollutants cannot be prevented from invading the ground bottom and underground water, and soil quality and water quality are deteriorated. Therefore, environmental issues related to ground pollution are gradually being emphasized, and there is a need and an urgent need for soil and groundwater remediation. It is conceivable that the contaminated soil contains heavy metals and harmful substances, which causes the residual toxins in rice, vegetables and fruits planted in the soil to be harmful to human bodies.
Hydroponics (Hydroponics) is a technique for growing plants without using soil, and carries nutrients necessary for the growth of plants only by water, or uses materials for supporting the roots of plants, such as: perlite, gravel, wood fiber, sand and foam. The main advantage of hydroponic cultivation is that no soil is needed during the cultivation process, so that the farmland ground necessary for traditional agriculture can be eliminated. Unfortunately, hydroponics still faces many challenges in practice, such as manpower consumption, low yield, inability to automate production, high cost, and high selling price.
On the other hand, the conventional greenhouse or planting operation is lack of automation, because the stages of "seeding", "growing", "picking" cannot be smoothly connected in series. For example, in the "seeding" stage, after many seeds are scattered or planted in a planting tray, the seeds grow randomly, which makes it difficult to transfer the "seedlings" to the "seedling" environment and/or "mature" environment of the next stage. Furthermore, when the plants to be cultivated are mature, the "mature" environment is not designed in advance, so that the plants cannot be picked by using automatic equipment, and a lot of manpower is still used.

Plant cultivation layer
Please refer to fig. 1 and 2, which illustrate a perspective view and a top view of a plant cultivation layer according to the present invention. Also, fig. 3 shows an exploded perspective view of the plant cultivation layer of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3, the present invention provides a plant cultivation layer 1L, which mainly comprises: n incubation trays 11 adjacent to each other, N conveying rail units 13 corresponding to the N incubation trays 11, respectively, and a plurality of transport mechanisms 14. Further, fig. 4 is a top view of the N cultivation trays 11 shown in fig. 3, and fig. 5 is a perspective view of a bottom view of the N conveying rail units 13 shown in fig. 3. According to the design of the present invention, each of the cultivation trays 11 has: the cultivation tray 11 is divided into a central flow channel 11M at the right part and the left part, M right branch flow channels 11BR at the right part and spaced from each other, and M left branch flow channels 11BL at the left part and spaced from each other, each of the right branch flow channels 11BR and each of the left branch flow channels 11BL are all communicated with the central flow channel 11M, and each of the right branch flow channels 11BR and each of the left branch flow channels 11BL are all filled with liquid fertilizer therein. It should be noted that the central runner 11M, the M right branch runners 11BR and the M left branch runners 11BL form a runner pattern, and the runner pattern is a fishbone pattern. Also, the M right branch flow passages 11BR have different lengths, and the M left branch flow passages 11BL also have different lengths.
According to fig. 1, 3, 4 and 5, each of the conveying track units 13 includes: a main transportation track 13M, M right branch transportation tracks 13BR and M left branch transportation tracks 13BL, wherein N and M are positive integers. In more detail, the main transportation rail 13M is located in the central flow passage 11M, the right branch transportation rail 13BR is located in the right branch flow passage 11BR, and the left branch transportation rail 13BL is located in the left branch flow passage 11 BL. Furthermore, according to the design of the present invention, each of the transporting rail units 13 is connected to at least one transporting mechanism 14, the transporting mechanism 14 moves among the central runner 11M, the right branch runner 11BR and/or the left branch runner 11BL by using the transporting rail unit 13, so as to transport one plant seedling strip 12, in which a plurality of plant seedlings 2 are planted, to the designated right branch runner 11BR or the designated left branch runner 11BL, so that N × M plant seedling strips 12 are provided among N × M left branch runners 11BL included in N number of the cultivation trays 11, and N × M plant seedling strips 12 are provided among N × M right branch runners 11BR included in N number of the cultivation trays 11.
For example, the plant cultivation layer 1L is mainly formed by splicing 4 cultivation plates 11, that is, the plant cultivation layer 1L has a two-dimensional figure, and the two-dimensional figure is a circle. In this case, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, if M is 4, the right and left portions of each cultivation tray 11 can accommodate 4 plant seedling belts 12, respectively. In other words, the plant growth layer 1L at this time accommodates N × 2M ═ 4 × 2 × 4 ═ 32 plant seedling strips 12in total. It is easy to deduce that the two-dimensional pattern of the plant cultivation layer 1L may be a triangle, a quadrangle, a pentagon, a hexagon, a heptagon, an octagon, a nonagon, a decagon, or the like. For example, the triangular plant cultivation layer 1L is formed by splicing 3 cultivation plates 11, the pentagonal plant cultivation layer 1L is formed by splicing 5 cultivation plates 11, and the hexagonal plant cultivation layer 1L is formed by splicing 6 cultivation plates 11. It should be understood that, in the case where the two-dimensional pattern is a circle, the number of the cultivation trays 11 (i.e., the value of N) may be flexibly changed according to the requirement of practical application. For example, N-360/30-12, N-360/60-12, N-360/90-4, and N-360/120-3.
In addition, in a possible embodiment, at least one sensor may be disposed in each of the right branch flow passages 11BR and each of the left branch flow passages 11BL, and is configured to sense water quality and/or nutrient content of the liquid fertilizer, so as to perform re-fertilization of the liquid fertilizer according to a sensing result, and sterilize the liquid fertilizer through an ultraviolet sterilization device. Further, a plant growth light source for generating a plant growth light to irradiate the plant seedling belt 12 and a spray cultivation device for spraying a nutrient solution to the plant seedling belt 12 may be provided in each of the right branch flow path 11BR and each of the left branch flow paths 11 BL. Furthermore, there is a light sensor to detect the illumination time and intensity and monitor whether the light source is sufficient. In addition, the temperature and humidity sensing and monitoring are also provided, and the bionic environment in the greenhouse is provided at any time.
According to the design of the present invention, one end of the central flow passage 11M serves as an input port, and a feeding device 15 is connected to the input port, so that the transporting mechanism 14 can receive the plant seedling belt 12 from the feeding device 15 and then transport the plant seedling belt 12 to the designated right branch flow passage 11BR or the designated left branch flow passage 11 BL. In other words, as shown in FIG. 1, N cultivation trays 11 are connected to N feeding devices 15, respectively. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the feeding device 15 shown in fig. 1. It is noted that, in the feeding device 15, the plant seedling belt 12 is bent and wound to have a planar pattern and is disposed in a patterned groove 101 of a tray 10. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the tray 10 shown in fig. 6. After being bent and wound, the plant seedling belt 12 has a plane pattern such as a circular spiral pattern according to fig. 6 and 7. However, in other embodiments, the planar pattern may be a square scroll pattern, a triangular scroll pattern, or a zigzag scroll pattern. Correspondingly, the patterned groove 101 of the tray 10 also has the planar pattern (i.e., a circular scroll pattern, a square scroll pattern, or a triangular scroll pattern) so as to be able to receive the plant seedling belt 12 therein.
Fig. 8 is a side sectional view of the plant seedling tape 12 shown in fig. 10. According to the design of the present invention, the plant seedling belt 12 has a plurality of holes 121 for planting a plurality of plant seedlings 2. In a possible embodiment, the young plant 2 may be a seedling or a tissue culture seedling. It should be noted that the seedling refers to a seedling obtained by using seeds for propagation, and the tissue culture seedling refers to a seedling obtained under the condition of tissue culture. IN more detail, a water inlet 12IN and a water outlet 12O are respectively formed at a top end side and a tail end side of the plant seedling belt 12, a flow passage 12f communicating the water inlet 12IN and the water outlet 12O is formed IN the plant seedling belt 12, two through holes are formed IN an inner wall of the hole 121 to face each other, and the hole 121 is communicated with the flow passage 12f through the two through holes. IN other words, each of the holes 121, the water inlet 12IN and the water outlet 12O is communicated with a flow channel 12f inside the plant seedling belt 12.
As described above, the young plant 2 is fixed in the holes 121 by a fertilizer adhesive, and the holes 121 have a distance therebetween. It should be understood that a liquid fertilizer may be introduced from the water inlet 12IN into the flow path 12f inside the plant seedling belt 12 to supply nutrients to each of the plant seedlings 2 through each of the holes 121. Also, liquid fertilizer may be absorbed, acidified or contaminated in the flow passage 12f, so the present invention specifically designs that the liquid fertilizer in the flow passage 12f can be discharged out of the flow passage 12f through the water outlet 12O. Further, IN order to prevent the plant seedling belt 12 from being damaged by being wetted with the liquid fertilizer IN the flow path 12f, the present invention is provided with a film layer on the inner wall surface of the flow path 12f, and HDPE waterproof cloth is provided at the water inlet 12IN and the water outlet 12O.
With this arrangement, when the plant seedling belt 12 is disposed in the patterned groove 101 of the tray 10, liquid fertilizer can be injected into the patterned groove 101, so that the plant seedling belt 12 can be continuously grown in the feeding device 15. It is easy to deduce that at least one sensor may be disposed inside the patterned groove 101 to sense the water quality and/or nutrient content of the liquid fertilizer, so as to perform re-fertilization of the liquid fertilizer according to the sensing result and sterilize the liquid fertilizer through an ultraviolet sterilization device. Further, a plant growth light source for generating a plant growth light to irradiate the plant seedling belt 12 and a spray cultivation device for spraying a nutrient solution to the plant seedling belt 12 may be provided within the feeding device 15. Furthermore, there is a light sensor to detect the illumination time and intensity and monitor whether the light source is sufficient. In addition, the temperature and humidity sensing and monitoring are also provided, and the bionic environment in the greenhouse is provided at any time.
Fig. 9 shows a perspective view of a plant seedling belt 12 and a transport mechanism 14. According to the design of the present invention, an information carrying member is disposed on the plant seedling belt 12 to carry a cultivation information of the plant seedling 2. For example, an RFID tag (i.e., an electronic tag) may be used as the information carrier. However, in a possible embodiment, the information carrier 14 may be an RFID tag, an NFC tag (i.e. another electronic tag), a one-dimensional barcode (1D barcode), a two-dimensional barcode (2D barcode), a hansen code (Chinese-sensitive code), a QR code, or a matrix barcode (Maxicode).
And, a grip unit is provided at a tip side or a tail end side of the plant seedling belt 12 so that the transporting means 14 is connected to the grip unit by a grip 141 thereof to carry the plant seedling belt 12in a drag manner. With this arrangement, as shown in fig. 3, 6 and 7, the transporting mechanism 14 grips a plant seedling belt 12 from the feeding device 15 and then pulls the plant seedling belt 12. It is noted that the plant seedling tape 12, which is originally in a spiral shape, is stretched into a straight strip shape by pulling. Further, the transportation mechanism 14 transports the plant seedling belt 12 to the designated right branch flow path 11BR or the designated left branch flow path 11 BL.
