Definitions
- the present invention relates to an automated system for hydroponic cultivation of vegetables, such as lettuce, but which is obviously applicable to other types of vegetables, primarily intended for human consumption.
- the object of the invention is to achieve maximum use of the area to be cultivated, that is, to achieve the greatest possible number of plants per unit of area to be cultivated, without the least damage to the crop.
- the traditional cultivation of plants of the aforementioned type is carried out in the soil, forming parallel plant alignments, among which lines are defined that allow both the planting task and the subsequent collection task, being carried out both one and the other by displacement of the operators along each and every one of the lines mentioned.
- the plants grow at the expense of the nutrients existing in the soil, so the periodic tasks of fertilizer, plowing, etc. are made necessary, which shortens the number of annual productive cycles that the land gives.
- the density of plantation is of the order of 65,000 plants per hectare and cycle, achieving 2.5 cycles per year, and this with an important consumption of water and fertilizers, as well as with also a very important participation of labor, with its corresponding impact at cost level.
- This information will depend a lot on the production area. This is for Spain. Depending on the country and its weather, it will have more or less crop cycles per year.
- the automated cultivation system that the invention proposes is based on the well-known hydroponic irrigation system, that is to say landless cultivation, in which a nutrient solution circulates in a closed circuit through a pipe consisting of a multiband of different levels where aeration is allowed of the root system that simultaneously constitutes the physical support for the plants, which take the necessary nutrients from said solution and so that the nutrients that are being absorbed by the plants are replenished at a suitable point of the aforementioned closed circuit.
- the aforementioned channels will be preferably (but not exclusively) those shown in the Invention Patent 9601651 to which the applicant himself owns.
- the invention consists in providing said pipes, composed of a multiband of different levels where aeration of the root system, of mobility, is allowed, as will be seen below, so that when adopting at each moment the most suitable position, not only for the plant growth but to perform all planting and harvesting maneuvers, with the automated system that the invention proposes can go from 65,000 plants per hectare and cycle that has been mentioned before, to 206,000 plants, at the same time that the aforementioned 2.5 cycles / year number can be doubled to 5 cycles. These data may also vary depending on the cultivation area, and can even reach up to 8 cycles.
- the available land is divided into two adjacent plots, preferably equal, separated by an intermediate aisle, establishing in each plot a plurality of transverse crop lines, each materialized of them in a canalization of hydroponic cultivation of the aforementioned, which can be simple or multiple depending on the size of the plot, but with the special feature that said crop lines are mobile and can move along any of the two plots and move from one plot to another.
- the front end of one of the plots constitutes the planting area, while the front end of the other plot constitutes the collection area, the only end where the jobs are located for the operators, who do not need to access neither of the two plots during the entire productive cycle.
- transfer means are established capable of transfer the empty culture lines, after harvesting, from the harvesting area to the planting area, and at the subsequent level of the plots in the opposite direction, defining a closed circuit so that each crop line runs longitudinally through the two plots, of the planting area of one of them to the collection zone established in the other, from where it passes back to the planting area of the first.
- This translation is carried out with the collaboration of elevated rails on which cars slide along the crop lines of the collection area. Once this collection has been carried out, they are elevated above the operators and transferred to the planting area, where other operators carry out the planting maneuvers after which the whole crop line is moved to the bottom of the first plot, at the same time that the last of said crop lines is transferred to the second plot by means of the second elevated rail and in a similar way.
- the anterior and posterior displacement of the cultivation lines is carried out by a chain that moves, so that the united cultivation pipes are contacted to each other with an integral use of the available surface, which allows marked increase in planting density mentioned above.
- spacing means can be planned between crop lines, which keeping these lines together when the plants are small, progressively separating the lines as they grow so that they have greater luminosity and reach greater volume.
- the zone of plantation (5) In the front end of the plot (1) the zone of plantation (5), where an adequate number of operators (6) duly distributed along the front edge of said plot (1), assemble the seedlings or plants from seedlings on the polyethylene bags constituting said crop lines.
- each crop line After the filling of each crop line, it is automatically dragged by appropriate mechanical means, shifting backwards to the rest of the crop lines of the plot (1) according to the arrow (7) of the figure. Simultaneously, a space capable of absorbing this linear displacement of the crop lines must have originated, at the rear end of the plot (1), for which the last of the crop lines of said plot (1) is transferred according to the arrow (8) by longitudinal displacement towards the plot (2), using an elevated rail (9), with a mobile carriage or any similar element, capable of grabbing each crop line (4), lifting it, moving it towards the another plot and access again to the general plan of the last crop line.
- a frontal displacement occurs simultaneously, according to the arrows (10), so that when a crop line (4) reaches the extreme area of the plot (2), specifically the collection area (1 1 ), other operators (6 ') extract the plants from the extreme crop line (4), leaving it empty to be able to be transferred back to the planting area, determining a closed cycle, with the collaboration of another elevated rail (12 ), structurally and functionally coinciding with the bottom rail (9) and with the movement shown by the arrow (13), next to which a crop line (4,) appears that is in an intermediate transfer situation, that is to say without having reached the final position on the planting area.
- the corresponding empty crop line is transferred to the First plantation (5), where it receives a new alignment of plants, so that there are no dead times, which allows doubling the number of productive cycles per year, as previously stated.
- both the means of transfer from one plot to another for the crop lines and the means of displacement of said crop lines within each plot can be very variable, without affecting the essence of the invention, of the same so that the actuation of such means can be fully automatic and properly programmed, which forces the operators at a certain work rate or can be operated at the will of one of said operators.
