Description

Farm cloud sever and multiplex environment controller for greenhouse}

The present invention relates to a farm cloud server and greenhouse complex environment control device used in the farm cloud system, and more specifically, the farmer using the technology using big-data (Big-Data) early crop cultivation without the help of professionals The present invention relates to a farm cloud server and a complex environment control apparatus for a farm cloud server used in a farm cloud system that generates and provides actuator operation rule information by combining the environmental sensors and actuators installed in the greenhouse from the stage to the harvest stage.

In general, when the temperature or humidity inside the greenhouse becomes higher or lower than the value set by the user due to climate change, the controller operates the actuators of the greenhouse in a predetermined manner without considering various external environmental factors. Many problems have been exposed to maintaining the greenhouse environment desired by the user.

In addition, there is a need for a technology capable of supporting crop cultivation methods.

For example, vegetables during the day 4-5 hours after sunset, the starch-like anabolic products produced by photosynthesis are converted to sugar and transmitted to stems, roots and fruits through the tube. At this time, the temperature should be maintained at 16 to 18 ° C. so that the current of the assimilated product can be completely made. If the greenhouse temperature after sunset maintains a high temperature of more than 20 ℃, the current of the anabolic product supplied to the fruit is faster, but other areas, especially the roots are weakened, and the absorption of amniotic fluid is inhibited, and the photosynthetic action of the next day is also inactive.

 However, when the temperature of the greenhouse is maintained at 25 ° C. using a warm air fan before sunset, it is not easy to control the temperature to 16-18 ° C. after sunset due to the residual heat inside the greenhouse. Accordingly, the palm cloud server according to the present invention temporarily changes the actuator control rule before sunset so that the greenhouse complex environment controller can quickly adjust the setting temperature after sunset.

Palm cloud server according to the present invention generates the second greenhouse control actuator information (rule) information by using this when the device additional information is added to add the environmental sensor or actuator transmitted from the greenhouse complex environment control device (S61) Can be transferred to a greenhouse complex environmental control.

Thus far, the present specification has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings so that those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can easily understand and reproduce the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible from the embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be defined only by the appended claims.
