Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a flying dragon for agricultural management and a method for operating the same.

The present invention relates to an agricultural management flying dragon used for removing weeds and the like while flying in a crop cultivation area.

Generally, in order to cultivate rice crops such as rice in the agricultural land, a number of processes must be performed. In particular, weeds such as rice paddy growing along with agricultural crops such as rice paddies suppress the growth of rice.

Among these weeds, especially rice paddy, it is hard to distinguish rice from rice early in growth, and it is difficult to remove it early, and it is difficult to remove easily after it grows. Weed removal work is considered as one of the most difficult works in rice farming.

Most of these weed removal operations depend on manpower, but the difficulties are increasing due to lack of rural labor force, aging of agriculture population and increase of agricultural land area. Accordingly, a farming method in which a herbicide is sprayed or an animal such as a duck is utilized is proposed.

However, such farming methods are damaging to environmental problems caused by herbicides or production work such as rice, and ducks and the like may be killed due to harmful tidal water or insect pests, and thus they have not been widely established yet.

Accordingly, the Agricultural Development Administration has developed a robot for weeding work. This weeding robot is equipped with an infinite-orbit-type moving means and is developed to remove weeds by running on agricultural land. However, in the process of removing the weeds, the surrounding rice can be damaged, and in the process of removing weeds, Therefore, the running is restricted by the obstacles such as pits, digs, and cracks which are exploded in continuous use, and soil, mud, and the like stick to the infinite orbit, and the driving ability is lowered. It is not easy to use because it can not move quickly.

For this purpose, a recognition unit may be provided for recognizing weeds in agricultural land linked to one side of the body 110.

For example, the recognition unit may include at least one of a measurement sensor for measuring the vegetation size of agricultural land and an image pickup unit for transmitting the image information of agricultural land, and the vegetation size measured by the measurement sensor or the image And a reading unit for analyzing the information to determine weeds.

The measurement sensor may be an ultrasonic sensor for measuring the length by using ultrasonic waves or a laser sensor for measuring the distance by laser measurement. Such a measurement sensor can measure the length of the vegetation by measuring the length of the vegetation directly or by inverting the distance to the vegetation based on the altitude of the flying dragon 100. In the present embodiment, various other methods may be used as the measurement sensor, for example, proximity or touch sensor may be utilized.

Also, in the present embodiment, the image capturing unit and the image transmission technology for transmitting the image capturing unit to the user are not specifically disclosed, but the technology provided in the commercial flying drones can be utilized.

The operation method of the agricultural management flight drone constructed as described above will be described as follows.

The operating method of the agricultural management flying drones 100 may include an observation flight step, a weed recognition step, a target moving step, a weed removing step, and a flying return step.

The observation flight stage is a step of collecting the vegetation information that grows in the agricultural land by flying the flying dragon (100) to the upper part of the agricultural land. The pilot drone 100 can fly by generating propulsion force by the operation of the discrete drive type drive unit 120 and the discrete drive type drive unit 120 drives the propulsion unit 120 based on the signals measured by the g sensor So that a stable flight attitude can be controlled.

When the vegetation information is collected at the observation flight step, the step of recognizing weeds from the collected vegetation information at the weed recognition step may be performed.

When the weeds are recognized in the weed recognition step, the target moving step is performed, and the flying dragon 100 can be moved to the upper part of the weeds and land on the ground. The target moving step stops the operation of the individual driving type driving unit 120 when the flying drones 100 are completely landed. This is to prevent weeds and the like from being shaken by the operation of the individual driving type driving unit 120.

When the flying dragon 100 is placed on the weed, the weed is removed by the weed removal step. Then, the weed removed as described above is discharged to a predetermined position in the flight returning step, and then returned to the observation flying step.

On the other hand, in the returning step, it is explained that the removed weeds are discharged to a certain position, but it is also possible to discharge the weeds without a designated position. This is because if the weeds are pulled out of the ground, they are easily damaged as they are exposed to the air and the sun.

In the meantime, the weed recognition step is a step of recognizing weeds by separating the crops and the weeds growing in the agricultural land. For this purpose, the weed recognition step is a step of measuring the size of the vegetation growing in the agricultural land and a step of measuring the size of the vegetation measured in the vegetation- Or more, the recognition step may be recognized as a weed.

In the vegetation measurement step, a distance sensor that directly measures the vegetation length, such as an ultrasonic sensor or a laser sensor provided in the flight drill 100, may be utilized, and the vegetation may be measured in consideration of the altitude of the flying dragon 100 It is also possible to measure the length of vegetation indirectly by inverting the distance.

Referring to FIG. 8, the weeds 10, for example, the rice paddy 10, which grow in paddy fields in the agricultural land, grow to about 80 to 110 cm, and they are about 10 to 20 cm larger than the rice 20.

Therefore, by measuring the length difference d between the top 10 and the rice 20, the weeds 10 and the rice 20 can be easily distinguished from each other.

On the other hand, the weed recognition step may include an image capturing step of capturing a vegetation image of agricultural land, and an image reading step of recognizing weeds by comparing the image captured in the image capturing step with vegetation information stored in a database.

In the image capturing step, the flying drones 100 fly over the agricultural land and shoot vegetation images of agricultural lands using an image photographing machine. In the image reading step, the photographed images are stored in vegetation information The weeds 10 can be recognized. Preferably, the photographed image information can be transmitted to the central server via radio, and the plant information can be recognized as weeds 10 compared with the vegetation information stored in the central server, and then transmitted to the flying dragon 100 It is possible. For this purpose, it is a matter of course that the flying drones 100 are provided with a wireless transmission / reception unit for transmitting the photographed image information to a central server by radio or for receiving signals.

In addition, the central server can determine the weeds 10 by comparing with the vegetation information accumulated in advance in the database, or can recognize the weeds 10 directly from the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) based on the satellite images, It is also possible to recognize the weeds 10 by comparing them with the photographed image information.

In addition, the weed recognition step may include an image capturing step of capturing a vegetation image of agricultural land, and an image transmitting step of transmitting a user to the monitoring apparatus of the user to recognize the weeds 10 through the image captured at the image capturing step It is possible.

Here, the user can confirm the vegetation growth state of the agricultural land through the photographed image information, and if the weed 10 is seen during the viewing of the image information, the user can directly control the flying drones 100 to proceed with the weed removal work .

Meanwhile, the target moving step may include a target flying step in which the flying dragon 100 moves to the upper part of the weed 10 recognized in the above-described weed recognition step, 130 to a predetermined length and then landing the flying dragon 100 so that the support member 130 reaches the cropland.

At the landing stage, it is preferable that the weed removing unit 150 is located at a height not reaching the weed 10, and the support member 130 can be extended.

The weed removing step is a descending step in which the gripping part 156 descends to be positioned on the upper side of the ground close to the root of the weed 10 and the descending step in which the gripping part 156 moves along the supporting bar 154, And gripping the lower ends of the weeds 10 by moving them adjacent to each other in the width direction of the weeds 10.

The weed 10 held by the gripping portion 156 may be in a state where roots are firmly fixed on the ground. Therefore, simply removing the weed 10 can not completely remove the weed 10.

Therefore, in the present invention, in order to completely remove the weed 10, the grip portion 156 rotates the lift portion 152 while grasping the weed 10, and when the lift portion 152 rotates, And the grip portion 156 associated therewith are rotated and raised, and the weed 10 can be rotated and pulled out in this process.

At this time, the weed 10 can be pulled out completely from the ground as the force for rotating the weed 10 is applied, in addition to the force to be simply lifted.

Next, when the weed removal step is completed, the flight returning step may proceed.

In the returning step, the removed weed 10 may be discharged to a predetermined position and then returned to the observation flight stage, thereby repeating the process of removing the weed.

In this embodiment, the weed removing unit 150 is described as removing the weed 10 by removing the weed 10 by rotating and applying physical force while holding the weed 10, but it is also possible to cut and remove the weed 10 Do.
