Preferably, the top plate is movable in at least a first direction or a reverse direction thereof to adjust the relative positional relationship of the crop plants within the planting hole and the internal cavity. It is further preferred that the maximum distance the top plate is moved in the opposite direction of the first direction is at least such that the roots of the crop plants in the various planting holes can be completely or mostly detached from the interior cavity, wherein by "detached" is meant that the crop plants following the movement of the top plate in the opposite direction of the first direction to the maximum distance can be such that at least a substantial part of their roots are not confined in the interior cavity. Preferably, the top plate moving to the maximum distance in the first direction may be just placed on the side wall of the cultivating body unit 1 so that the roots of the crop plants in the various planting holes may be completely contained in the inner cavity, wherein "containing" means that the crop plants following the top plate moving to the maximum distance in the first direction may have their roots suspended from the inner cavity.
Preferably, the nutrient supply unit 2 provided in the internal cavity of the cultivation main body unit 1 can supply nutrient substances to the roots of crop plants contained in the internal cavity through the nutrient spray head, wherein the nutrient supply unit 2 supplies nutrient substances at least by atomizing the nutrient solution to fill the whole internal cavity in the form of tiny droplets, so that the nutrient solution can be adsorbed on the roots suspended in the internal cavity and absorbed by the roots.

Preferably, a drain pipe can be provided on the side wall or the bottom plate of the cultivation main body unit 1 in a sealing manner so as to drain the residual nutrient solution in the internal cavity through the drain pipe, wherein the residual nutrient solution can be the nutrient solution which is not absorbed by the roots of the crop plants after being atomized by the operation cultivation spray head and falls down and gathers at the bottom of the internal cavity based on the gravity. Further, the derived residual nutrient solution may be recycled or disposed of after detection, wherein the decision to recycle or discard may be determined based on the detection result, and the residual nutrient solution may be recycled and returned to the feed tank when it also has recycling value and does not have a negative effect on the nutrient solution stored in the feed tank, which may cause a change in the properties of the nutrient solution.

Preferably, the air inlet part and the air outlet part of the air supply unit 3 can be connected with the air inlet and the air outlet which are formed on the cultivation main body unit 1 in a sealing way, wherein the planting holes are formed in the vicinity of the air inlet and the air outlet in a mode of not planting or less planting crop plants so as to avoid the root of the crop plants from shielding the air inlet and the air outlet. Further, the air inlet and the air outlet on the cultivation main body unit 1 can be configured in such a way that the air inlet and the air outlet can be arranged in a non-directly opposite and non-co-edged manner, wherein the non-directly opposite arrangement can ensure that the air introduced into the internal cavity can ensure that the roots of all or designated crop plants can receive corresponding oxygen in a manner of at least partially prolonging the internal residence time, wherein the internal residence time refers to the average time period collected by starting timing from the air inlet for each air molecule in a plurality of units of air molecules in a batch until the air outlet is reached; the arrangement of the non-common edges can enable the air inlet and the air outlet to form at least a relatively smooth air flow channel in the inner cavity so as to avoid generating excessive turbulence or vortex in the inner cavity and further influence the absorption of plant roots to nutrient solution and/or oxygen.
Preferably, the cultivation main body unit 1 may be provided with corresponding air inlets and air outlets on the side walls of the long side and the wide side thereof, respectively, so as to satisfy the arrangement of the air inlets and the air outlets in a manner of not being directly opposite and not sharing the sides.

Preferably, the air inlet part of the air supply unit 3 can be arranged in such a way that at least part of the structure protrudes into the air inlet, so that the air supply end protruding into the air inlet can be arranged in such a way that the angle of adjustment is possible, wherein the air inlet part can adjust the air inlet direction of the air supply end by means of the angle adjustment mechanism. Further, the angle adjusting mechanism at least can be provided with a plurality of continuous or intermittent points in the horizontal direction, wherein the continuous points refer to any positions where the air supply end can stay between two adjacent points; the intermittent point location means that the air supply end can only stay at a preset point location corresponding position, in other words, based on the point location setting of the angle adjusting mechanism, the air supply end can stay at least at the preset point location corresponding position. Preferably, the supply ends of the different air inlet members are independently controllable to form a plurality of flow fields at least in the interior cavity based on different control logic.
Preferably, the aeroponic device may be configured with one or more photographing units 4 for obtaining at least image information of roots of crop plants and further for confirming the current growth status of the plants, wherein, generally, since roots of the crop plants need to be protected from light during the aeroponic process, the side wall of the cultivating main unit 1 is generally made of a non-transparent material, and the photographing units 4 need to be disposed in the internal cavity of the cultivating main unit 1 at least in a manner of applying a water-proof measure. Preferably, the water-repellent measures applied to the camera unit 4 can be, for example, placing the camera unit 4 in a hermetically connected receiving box, and at least part of the area of the receiving box is made of transparent material for optical acquisition. Further, the accommodating box is made of transparent material at least on one side of the shooting unit 4 facing the root of the crop plant, and is preferably arranged in such a way that the direction (or imaging angle) of the shooting unit 4 placed in the accommodating box is not on the connection line of any two planting holes (or crop plants), so that the situation that the shooting unit 4 is limited by the shooting angle when acquiring the image information of the root of the plant to cause overlapping of root images is avoided, and then identification of the root of the crop plant contained in the image and confirmation of the current growth state are affected. Preferably, based on the arrangement of the planting holes, that any two adjacent planting holes on the top plate do not have the same long-side coordinates or wide-side coordinates (or have different long-side coordinates or wide-side coordinates), the photographing unit 4 with the accommodating box can be arranged on the side wall of the long side of the cultivation main body unit 1 to acquire relatively independent plant root image information. Further, the shooting unit 4 can be arranged in a mode of not being on the same side as the air outlet so as to avoid the conflict of arrangement positions, and meanwhile, the air outlet can be beneficial to leading out air with atomized nutrient solution from the opposite side, so that the nutrient solution is prevented from being condensed into large-particle liquid drops on the accommodating box and the imaging effect of the shooting unit 4 is prevented from being influenced. Preferably, the setting or starting number of the shooting units 4 is determined based on the imaging parameters of the shooting units 4 and/or the opening modes of the planting holes, and corresponding shooting tasks are given to the started shooting units 4, wherein the imaging parameters of the shooting units 4 can comprise imaging angles, imaging distances and the like, the opening modes of the planting holes can comprise opening angles, opening intervals and the like, and the shooting tasks given to the shooting units 4 at least comprise shooting interval periods, shooting ranges and the like. Preferably, the photographing unit 4 is movable to cover more photographing ranges and save configuration costs.
Preferably, the shooting task of the shooting unit 4 can be given by the processing unit 5 configured by the aeroponic device, wherein the processing unit 5 can receive the image information acquired by the shooting unit 4 and/or the environment detection information of the internal cavity to judge the current growth state of the crop plant and the influence of the environmental factors on the current growth state of the plant.
Preferably, the processing unit 5 is responsive to the received image information to initiate an analysis procedure, wherein the analysis procedure aims at assessing the growth status of the whole crop plant by extracting and identifying the image information to determine the growth of the root area of the corresponding crop plant. Further, the processing unit 5 is able to obtain the external contour of all or part of the root area of the crop plant by means of the image information, and to determine the growth of the root area of the respective crop plant based on a comparison of the external contour with a pre-stored model.
Preferably, compared with water culture, the fog culture can save a large amount of energy sources, reduce the waste of water and nutrient solution, control disease spreading, for example, in the potato cultivation process, the phenomena of shrinkage and curling of leaves, uneven leaf color, short, small, thin and weak stalks, deformation and cracking of tubers, annual decline of yield and the like appear, thus indicating that the potatoes are degraded. Seed potato degradation is caused by virus infection and accumulation in potato blocks, and is also a main cause of yield reduction and commodity property deterioration. The potato blocks used as next generation seeds cannot remove viruses in bodies by themselves due to continuous infection and accumulation of viruses, so that plant virus diseases are aggravated year by year, the plant cannot fully exert the production characteristics of varieties in the production process, and serious yield reduction is caused. Only if the virus in the potato seeds is removed by adopting the modern biotechnology, the physiological function and the production characteristics of potato varieties are recovered, and the degradation of the potato can be prevented, so that the commercial properties and the yield of the variety cultivated by breeders can be achieved. This is the important reason why seed potatoes need to be detoxified and the yield can be greatly improved by adopting detoxified seed potatoes. However, even if the high-quality cultivation of the detoxified seed potato is realized by adopting the aeroponic technology in the prior art, the growth state of the characteristic parts (such as tubers of potatoes) of the plant is not accurately monitored, and further, the development condition (such as potato forming condition) of a plurality of characteristic parts on the plant cannot be determined, if the development condition of the characteristic parts is judged in a manual visual mode, a great error is easily generated, different manual visual standards are different, the difference of picking standards is easily generated, part omission or early harvest is caused, and for a large plant factory, the labor cost is greatly increased by manually inspecting the development condition (such as potato forming condition) of the characteristic parts, and the plant is usually required to be inspected after being moved out from the aeroponic environment, so that the normal growth of the plant can be affected.
The aeroponic device of the present application may thus be preferably applied to crop plants having a root region with a characteristic feature, such that the processing unit 5 may perform a focus analysis on the characteristic feature when analyzing the image information related to the root region acquired by the photographing unit 4, wherein the characteristic feature has at least an identification feature different from other parts of the root region, so as to facilitate the processing unit 5 to identify the corresponding characteristic feature from the image information. For example, the crop plants whose root regions have features may be potato crops or other crops similar to potatoes, which feature and are tubers thereof.
Preferably, the processing unit 5, when analyzing crop plants having features in the root region, is able to identify all features in the image information of the root region based on the feature model entered in advance, wherein the growth pattern of the features in the root region is different from the other features in order to facilitate the identification of the processing unit 5. For example, the processing unit 5 may set tubers of potato crops as characteristic features with different properties from fibrous roots, wherein tubers of potato crops and fibrous roots have different growth patterns, and the trend of the both changes in the growth process can be captured and identified based on time series. Further, when identifying the feature in the image information, the processing unit 5 can perform the secondary identification at least when the alien feature appears in the root area of the crop plant, where the alien feature may be an alien structure generated by irregular growth of the feature due to discomfort of the growth environment, or may be an alien structure formed by overlapping a plurality of feature based on the image due to the influence of the imaging angle of the imaging unit 4. Further, the differentiated feature may be obtained at least by a rational calculation of the feature, and generally cannot be formed by combining other parts of the root region, that is, when the processing unit 5 finds that any part of the root region is not a feature, but is not another part, it can calculate what part can be grown or combined from the part. Preferably, the processing unit 5 is capable of determining a cause of formation of the dissimilated feature when determining that the dissimilated feature exists, wherein the processing unit 5 is capable of adjusting at least environmental parameters, such as an atomization mode, an environmental temperature and humidity, an oxygen content, a carbon dioxide content, and the like, when determining that the abnormal growth of the feature is caused by an influence of a growth environment; when it is determined that the overlapping of the images of the plurality of feature portions is caused by the influence of the imaging angle of the photographing unit 4, the processing unit 5 can determine the overlapping number and the overlapping order of the feature portions in the image information by boundary division, and can sequentially select the outer contours of the feature portions in the order from front to back, wherein the outer contours of the feature portions located at the rear positions, which are defined by the overlapping order that is not in the first order, are substantially defined by the local contours of the feature portions and the non-shielded portions, are located in the normal structure of the feature portions, the order of the overlapping order is defined from front to back, the direction from front to back is the imaging direction (generally the same direction as the broadside direction) of the photographing unit 4, and the closer the overlapping order to the photographing unit 4 is.
Preferably, the processing unit 5 pre-stores a standard model of the feature part, and when the identified and/or circled feature part meets the error threshold value of the standard model, the standard model can be assigned a qualified label, wherein the assigned qualified label at least further comprises the coordinate of the corresponding plant hole of the feature part and the rank of the feature part in the root area of the corresponding plant. Further, the order of the feature parts in the root area of the corresponding crop can be set in a different manner from the order arrangement direction of the superimposition order, that is, the processing unit 5 may perform order sorting in an order different from the front-to-back order, and when order sorting is performed, a plurality of feature parts having the image superimposed state can be assigned to the same order sequence, and can be subdivided according to the respective superimposition order. Further preferably, the placement of the feature portions in the root region of the corresponding crop may be arranged in a left-to-right or right-to-left direction, which is a direction orthogonal to the imaging direction of the photographing unit 4 (typically, in the same direction as the long-side direction).
Preferably, when the harvesting interval time and/or the preset number of qualified labels are reached, individual or all characteristic parts assigned with the qualified labels in each crop are harvested in a targeted manner based on coordinates and orders attached to the qualified labels, wherein targeted harvesting means that the characteristic parts meeting requirements can be positioned and harvested based on the coordinates and orders attached to the qualified labels, the problem of inaccurate manual visual inspection is avoided, the problem of productivity waste caused by only setting the harvesting interval time is avoided, the productivity waste means that harvesting is started if the harvesting interval time is reached, but only few characteristic parts meeting requirements are found through inspection of manual whole flow, the input-output ratio is low, and the input labor and material cost are extremely wasted. Preferably, the top plate can be lifted along the opposite direction of the first direction in the harvesting process, so that the characteristic part can be separated from the internal cavity and displayed in the external environment, and after being harvested in a targeted manner, the top plate can fall down along the first direction and the root area is contained in the internal cavity. Further, since there may be a plurality of feature portions in the root region of the crop plant and the plurality of feature portions may be partially or completely different in development degree, so that even two feature portions of the root region of the same crop plant may be obtained corresponding qualified labels at different times, when the top plate falls, the photographing unit 4 can be activated to acquire the harvested image information and send to the processing unit 5, wherein the processing unit 5 determines whether coordinates and rank of the harvested feature portions are consistent with the preamble qualified label based on the harvested image information. Further, for the case where harvesting should be performed in the preceding harvesting step without harvesting being performed, the processing unit 5 may further assign a timeout tag, and for the feature part having the timeout tag, the state thereof needs to be separately placed and evaluated in the subsequent harvesting step, wherein this case may occur due to harvesting omission or inaccuracy in the prediction circle timing of the outer profile of the feature part set later when the images are superimposed.
Preferably, the processing unit 5, when starting the analysis procedure on the image information, can also determine the manner of adjustment of the environmental parameters based on the overall and/or local growth of the root area (in particular the feature) of each crop plant in the interior cavity, in addition to the feature that can be assigned a qualified label, wherein the adjustment of the environmental parameters can be achieved at least by sending control signals to the nutrient supply unit 2 and/or the air supply unit 3.
Preferably, the nutrient supply unit 2 in response to the control signal can adjust the following operating parameters: atomized particle injection angle, atomized particle injection speed, atomized particle size, atomized working time, atomized interval time and the like. Preferably, the air supply unit 3 in response to the control signal can adjust the following operating parameters: intake air amount, intake air angle, oxygen/carbon dioxide content, etc.
Preferably, the processing unit 5 may simulate the space state of the internal cavity to determine the flow field state in the space, where the flow field state at least includes an air flow field state and an atomized nutrient solution flow field state. Further, when the air flow field is formed in the inner cavity, the flow field state of the atomized nutrient solution is influenced, so that the mist escape state of the inner cavity is adjusted, wherein the atomized nutrient solution can be switched to the corresponding escape state and is filled in the inner cavity in a mode which is favorable for the growth of at least part of crop plants based on the flow trend of the air flow field after being sprayed out based on the air flow of different angles and different speeds.
