1 shows a stacked frame structure 1000 for a smart farm according to an embodiment of the present specification. Referring to FIG. 1, the stacked frame structure 1000 for a smart farm according to an embodiment is connected and fixed to one side of the support 100 and the support 100 extending in the vertical direction, and extending in the horizontal direction. It includes an arm frame 200.

Referring further to FIG. 1, the stacked frame structure 1000 for smart farm includes a plurality of supports 100, and a plurality of arm frames 200 extending in the horizontal direction are connected and fixed to each support. The arm frames are positioned at regular height intervals. One or more trays 300 may be positioned on the arm frame 200 at predetermined intervals. Crops may be placed on the tray 300, or a separate independent bed may be formed and crops may be placed in the bed.

The arm frame 200 may be composed of a first arm frame 200a and a second arm frame 200b facing each other based on the support, and the first arm frame 200a and the second arm frame 200b may extend in opposite directions. The first arm frame 200a and the second arm frame 200b have a symmetrical structure. Hereinafter, the first arm frame 200a will be mainly described in order to avoid duplication of description, but the structure and function of the first arm frame The description can be equally applied to the second arm frame 200b.

The stacked frame structure for smart farms according to the present invention has an advantage in that the support is located in the middle and the arm frame is formed on at least one side based on the support, so that it is easy to remove and insert the cultivation bed disposed on the arm frame.

2 is a perspective view of an arm frame (first or second possible) according to an embodiment of the present specification, and FIG. 3 is a side view of the arm frame. Referring to FIG. 2, the arm frame 200 includes a tray supporting portion 210 having a first height for placing a tray and a plate fixing portion 220 having a second height adjacent to the tray supporting portion 210 and having a second height higher than the first height. The tray supporting part 210 and the plate fixing part 220 may be formed on the upper surface of the arm frame 200 . Also, as shown in FIG. 2 , the tray supporting part 210 and the plate fixing part 220 may be alternately disposed.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the upper height (first height) of the tray supporting part 210 and the height of the plate fixing part 220 may differ by d1 (or d2 or d3). A tray may be positioned and fixed to the tray supporting portion 210 using this height difference (step difference). That is, the tray may not slide due to the height difference d1.

Referring back to FIG. 2 , the arm frame 200 may have a side surface and an upper surface, and a lower surface may be empty. Through such a structure, there is an advantage in that the use of materials can be reduced to a minimum while maintaining a certain level of rigidity. In addition, although the tray supporting portion 210 is shown as having an open top, in other embodiments, it may not be open, or may be at least partially open (perforated pattern, etc.).

Referring also to FIG. 3 , in one embodiment of the present specification, the arm frame 200 may be tilted at a predetermined angle and fixed to the support. That is, in FIG. 3, the angle a between them may be 90 degrees or less than 90 degrees.

When the angle a is smaller than 90 degrees, the arm frame is slightly inclined toward the outside with respect to the support, so that more crops can come into the field of view of the operator handling the crops placed on the arm frame from the outside.

Also, in one embodiment, the depth of the tray supporting portion 210 formed on one arm frame may increase from the support side to the outside (in the -Z direction). That is, referring to FIG. 3, it may be configured in the form of d1 < d2 < d3. In this case, even when the angle a is 90 degrees, a height difference can be formed between the plurality of trays formed on one arm frame. This difference in height of the tray support may be applied in conjunction with or alternatively to the feature that the inclination of the support is less than 90 degrees. Referring to FIG. 3 , the widths w1 to w3 of the tray supporting portion 210 may also be uniform or increase or decrease in the z direction. By configuring the width of the tray support portion differently, it is possible to vary the type of crop. For example, crops with a large size and weight are placed on the support side, and accordingly, the width of the tray support is set to be large, and crops with a small size and weight may be arranged to be located farther from the support side. In addition, by varying the size of the tray support, it can be used to distinguish the type of crop or sowing time.

Referring to FIG. 2 , in one embodiment, the arm frame 200 may include a support fixing part 230 connected to a support and an arm frame fixing part 240 fastened to an opposing arm frame.

The support fixing part 230 extends a predetermined length in the vertical direction and may include one or more locking holes 231 and 232 open downward. The locking holes may be inserted into protrusions formed on the support so that the arm frame is fixed to the support. Meanwhile, the opening of the first locking hole 231 may be formed to extend downward while facing the outside of the arm frame, and the opening of the second locking hole 232 may be formed to extend downward vertically.

In another example, an additional additional screw hole 233 may be further included to reinforce the coupling fixing force between the arm frame and the support. The additional screw hole 233 may be formed on a surface opposite to the surface on which the locking holes 231 and 232 are formed.

In addition, in order to further strengthen the coupling fixing force between the arm frame and the support and to facilitate installation, a support contact portion 250 directed inwardly from one surface of the arm frame may be further included in the arm frame 200 . The support contact portion 250 is in contact with the outer surface of the arm frame and may include an additional locking hole 251. The additional locking hole 251 is inserted into the protrusion formed on one surface of the arm frame, thereby reinforcing the fixing force between the support and the arm frame.

In another example, an upper end hole 260 may be formed at an upper side end of the arm frame 200 . The upper end hole 260 may be formed in a semicircular shape, and an electric wire or a pipe for supplying nutrient solution may be disposed through the upper end hole 260.

Also, in one embodiment, the arm frame fixing part 240 may be located at one end of the arm frame rather than the support fixing part 230 . That is, the arm frame fixing part 240 may be located outside the support fixing part in the arm frame. The arm frame fixing part 240 may be used to connect and fix the arm frame to another arm frame facing each other. To this end, the arm frame fixing part 240 (eg, the first arm frame fixing part) may be mutually fastened with the arm frame fixing part (eg, the second arm frame fixing part) of the opposing arm frame, and one or more fastening holes may be used for such fastening. 2 discloses two fastening holes disposed in the vertical direction, but this is exemplary, and in another embodiment, two or more fastening holes may be formed in a horizontal direction. Also, in another example, the first arm frame fixing part has a protruding shape, and the second arm frame fixing part corresponding to the first arm frame fixing part has an insertion structure, so that the two arm frame fixing parts may be fastened.

4 is a diagram illustrating a structure in which two arm frames 200a and 200b are installed on a support according to an embodiment of the present specification. Referring to FIG. 4 , one arm frame 200a is fastened and fixed to one side of the support 100, and the other arm frame 200b is fastened and fixed to the support in the opposite direction. Also, the two arm frames 200a and 200b are also fastened to each other.

Referring to FIG. 4, in one embodiment, the stacked frame structure 1000 for a smart farm may further include a blower 500. The blower 500 is installed on the support and may be installed above the arm frame 200 . Also, the blower 500 may be installed on top of each pair of arm frames 200a and 200b.

The blower 500 may generate wind to the outside of the support, and impurities accumulated on the outer surface of the crop may be removed by the wind. In the arm frame described herein, a smaller number of crop trays (arm frames having a shorter length) are disposed on one support, but the crop trays are disposed on both sides compared to the conventional method. Accordingly, the wind emitted from the centrally disposed blower 500 is applied to a relatively small number of crops, thereby maximizing the blowing effect. That is, referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, since there are three tray supports in one arm frame, the wind emitted from the blower passes through the three crops (in the direction of the arm frame). Of course, in the diagonal direction, the crops in the trays disposed on the other arm frame will additionally pass through, but the number of crops through which the wind passes can be minimized by limiting the blowing direction to the direction along the arm frame or adjusting the blowing angle.

That is, according to the above, since the air passing through one crop only passes through the minimum number of crops (here, 3), there is an advantage in reducing the transmission probability of infectious diseases and maximizing ventilation efficiency.

Figure 5 shows a portion of the stacked frame structure 1000 for smart farm according to an embodiment of the present specification. Referring to FIG. 5, the wind generated by the blower 500 passes through only three crops and is discharged to the outside.

6 is a diagram for explaining a portion of a bladder device according to an embodiment of the present specification. Referring to FIG. 6, the stacked frame structure 1000 for a smart farm may further include a plate 400 for a light emitting device. The light emitting device plate 400 is fastened to the plate fixing part 222 and may have a shape extending in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the arm frame.

Referring to part A1 of FIG. 6 , the light emitting device plate 400 may include a first part 401 extending to one side of the arm frame 200, a third part 403 extending to the other side of the arm frame, and a second part 402 connecting the first part and the third part. The first portion 401 or the third portion 403 may have a side portion that at least partially extends downward. Also, as shown in A2 of FIG. 6 , the light emitting device 410 may be installed under the light emitting device plate 400 . More specifically, the light emitting device 410 may be installed under the first part 401 . In addition, the side extending downward of the first part or the third part described above protects both sides of the light emitting device 410 and may guide a direction of light. Also, the light emitting device 410 may be installed on at least one of a lower part of the first part or a lower part of the third part.

In addition, in one example, the arm frame 200 has a screw hole 222 (plate fixing part) for fastening to the plate 400 for the light emitting device, and a hole 221 for the light emitting device 400 or a wire for the light emitting device. Can be formed on the side. That is, the light emitting device 400 may have a dot shape as shown in FIG. 6 , but is not limited thereto, and may be a line type lighting device formed long through the above-mentioned hole 221 .

Referring back to FIG. 5, in the stacked frame structure 1000 for smart farm according to an embodiment of the present specification, the light emitting device 410 is disposed between the trays 300, and the light emitting device is placed in the middle of the arm frame 200, not on the lower surface. Accordingly, the height h1 of the height of the tray and the height of the arm frame and the light emitting device is smaller than that of the conventional ones, so there is an advantage in that more crop trays can be formed in a building of the same height.

In addition, as described above, by adjusting the inclination of the arm frame, it is possible to facilitate the worker's crop harvesting work, and by configuring a blowing system that passes fewer crops through the blowing device located in the center, there is an advantage of improving the blowing efficiency.

The present invention reviewed above has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but this is only exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and variations of the embodiments are possible therefrom. However, such modifications should be considered within the technical protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
