Description

System, electronic device, and method of operation for growing and transporting crops based on a mounting structure {SYSTEM FOR GROWING AND TRANSFORTING CORPS BASED ON MOUNTIG STRUCTURE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND OPERATION METHOD OF THE SAME}

The present disclosure relates to a system for growing and transporting crops based on a holding structure, an electronic device, and a method of operating the same.

The agricultural product industry is a major industry related to consumer food, and compared to other industries, it requires solutions to more thoroughly satisfy both producers and consumers.

In order to satisfy both producers and consumers, smart farms (or vertical farms), which have been recently introduced, inspect the growth environment of crops and perform timely prescriptions based on data on crop growth information and environmental information, Compared to the agricultural product industry, it is emerging as a technology to improve the productivity and quality of agricultural products.

However, in a situation where the population is concentrated in the city center and the farm population is expected to decrease, as well as external factors affecting the crop market and production environment, such as climate change and pandemics, it is robust and efficient to more rapidly changing external factors. It is time to implement technology to grow and provide crops with high freshness.

A conventional smart farm provides a cultivation device capable of growing crops, and can automatically control the growth environment of the crops based on data about the growth information and environmental information of the crops grown in the cultivation device. However, because these smart farms are built on the outskirts of the city center where most consumers live, a large amount of crops are lost during the crop supply process due to the physical distance between the smart farm and the city center, and the consumption environment within the city center is reduced. It may be difficult to control crop production in response to changes. According to various embodiments, a crop provision system may provide a cultivation device within a cultivation facility where the crop is grown as well as a sales facility associated with the crop. In addition, according to various embodiments, the crop provision system is configured to build a cultivation structure identical to the cultivation structure of the cultivation device provided in the facilities in a transportation means for transporting crops between the sales facility and the cultivation facility, Crop transportation can be facilitated through transportation. Accordingly, the crop provision system according to various embodiments reduces the amount of crop loss in the crop supply process by shortening the actual physical distance between the cultivation facility and the sales facility, and is based on changes in the consumption environment in the city center. This allows crop production to be quickly controlled.

In addition, cultivation facilities or sales facilities using conventional smart farms have limited space and sometimes grow crops using multiple cultivation devices. At this time, there is the inconvenience of having to separately manage the plurality of cultivation devices as independent cultivation devices. In addition, as the components included in each of the plurality of cultivation devices are configured separately, there is a problem of high power consumption and resource waste and occupying limited space in a cultivation facility or sales facility. Cultivation devices according to various embodiments of the present disclosure are connected to each other and share at least irrigation resources (e.g., water, nutrient solution) to save resources needed for crop cultivation, reduce power consumption, and allow users of the cultivation devices to grow crops more efficiently. It can be managed with In addition, the cultivation devices are connected to each other and share at least some components necessary for the operation of the cultivation devices, so that limited space in the cultivation facility and sales facility can be efficiently utilized.

Cultivation devices used in conventional smart farms use either a thin film hydroponics (NFT, nutrient film technique, hereinafter referred to as NFT) or a deep water technique (DWC, or DFT, deep flow technique) method. Therefore, the conventional cultivation device grows crops using only the NFT method, which flows irrigation resources in small quantities on a flat surface with a gentle slope and places the roots of the crops in the air and the nutrient solution, or the roots of the crops, etc. Crops can be grown only using the DWC method of immersing the crop in irrigation resources, so there are limitations to crop cultivation methods. Cultivation devices according to various embodiments of the present disclosure can cultivate crops more efficiently by using various types of cultivation methods in one cultivation device. For example, by cultivating crops using both the NFT method and the DWC method, the cultivation device can grow crops more efficiently than growing crops using only the NFT method or the DWC method. Additionally, cultivation devices according to various embodiments can cultivate crops using a cultivation method suitable for the type of crop.

In addition, the conventional smart farm automatically controls the growing environment for crops in the smart farm based on information related to the smart farm (e.g., growth environment information, smart farm production volume), and sends information about the control results to the smart farm. It can be built to provide services to workers. However, these smart farms cannot control the growth environment in conjunction with information (e.g., crop demand) from sales facilities where crops are sold, so they consume the amount of crop production in the smart farm and distribution of crops to sales facilities. It may be difficult to plan more appropriately for the environment. According to various embodiments, a crop provision system may include production of crops at a cultivation facility based on crop consumption at a plurality of sales facilities associated with the cultivation facility, and optimal distribution of the produced crops to the plurality of sales facilities. Quantity can be planned. Additionally, according to various embodiments, the crop provision system can visually provide instructions for working with crops produced based on the planned information to workers in a cultivation facility. Accordingly, the crop provision system according to various embodiments can more promptly create a crop cultivation environment suitable for the consumption environment.

In addition, a conventional smart farm can automatically control the growth environment of crops according to the growth environment of the crops based on data on crop growth information and environmental information. However, these smart farms cannot control the growth environment in conjunction with information from sales facilities where crops are sold (e.g. crop demand), so it may be difficult to adjust the growth environment of crops to better suit the consumption environment. there is.
