Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for performing an operation on a plant, comprising arranging an element which carries out an operation over the plant.
  • a dynamic system in which the element performing the respective operation continually moves vertically up and down in order to perform the respective operation at different locations.
  • the vertical up and down movement is alternated with a horizontal displacement, so that the element performing the operation can cover a large number of positions inside the cultivation space in a very short time. Displacement can take place between the plants, but is also possible to another part, for example situated below the roof.
  • a counting device for insects is mentioned or a diagonal strut.
  • the element performing an operation may be both a sensor and an element which performs an operation on the plant.
  • these may be sensors which determine moisture, light and other conditions of the plant as well as sensors which monitor the development of the plant, such as cameras and the like, for example having a particular sensitivity to the presence of leaves, fruits and the like.
  • the element performing operations may be combined. That is to say that, for example, an element performing an operation and comprising a sensor is lowered into the plant by means of a single hoisting cable and immediately thereafter or even simultaneously, another element performing an operation for treating the plant is lowered by means of a second hoisting cable or with the same hoisting cable. In this way, the plant can be approached quickly and efficiently from above at a large number of positions.
  • This process may largely be automated in combination with vision techniques, wherein people situated on the floor of the cultivation space and other installations are not hampered in their actions.
  • a distinction is drawn between the method described here and the prior art methods in which a system with spraying nozzles moves over the plant at a constant speed of movement and dispenses liquid, since this does not involve the vertical movement of an element performing an operation between the plants, the upwards movement of the element performing an operation from in between the plants and the renewed lowering of the element performing an operation after a horizontal displacement.
  • the present method is particularly suitable for treating plants arranged in rows, which are found in particular in greenhouses, but also in the open air.
  • a treatment is carried out on a number of plants together. These may be treated simultaneously or successively, always the element performing an operation moves only once to a spot just above or between the plants. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such number of plants which is treated during a single downward movement of the element is one of the above-described rows of plants or a part thereof.
  • the element is moved up and the adjacent row, which is to be distinguished from the row which is in line therewith, is subjected to a treatment.
  • the treatment preferably covers the dimensions of the compartment of such a greenhouse.
  • a compartment is understood to mean the space which is delimited by two open web girders. More particularly, a diagonal strut is present in the direction of growth (direction of a row). This strut extends between two opposite open web girders. By means of the device according to the present invention, this strut can be passed.
  • the present invention also relates to a device for performing an operation on a plant, comprising a support which is arranged above said plant, a carriage which can be displaced horizontally over said support, said carriage comprising a hoisting installation provided with an element which performs an operation and which can be vertically displaced thereby, the speed of vertical displacement being adjustable.
  • supports are present in such a cultivation space, such as a greenhouse, and more particularly two supports between which a carriage may extend on which the above-described structure is present.
  • Such a carriage may, for example, be attached to two open web girders.
  • a power source such as a cable which can be wound up and down or a battery is present at the open web girders.
  • the carriage may have a relatively limited reservoir for dispensing a spray.
  • a (wireless) connection to the surroundings for processing signals may be present.
  • the element performing the operation has to be hoisted up at the end of the path after which it is moved according to another path.
  • the device is installed in a cultivation space, such as a greenhouse.
  • This greenhouse consists of a number of columns between which open web girders are arranged.
  • the gutters and, if desired, the struts (crossed) extend between the open web girders, that is to say, at right angles thereto.
  • the carriage preferably moves between two open web girders, that is to say in a direction at right angles to the gutters of a greenhouse.
  • the plants are arranged in rows, which rows extend parallel to the gutters and/or ridges of the roof structure, that is to say at right angles to the direction of the open web girder.
  • the direction of growth is at right angles to the direction of the open web girder.
  • the support is configured such that a number of plants in a row can be treated simultaneously. Adjacent rows are successively subjected to a treatment in the above-described manner by moving the support up and down.
  • Fig. 1 diagrammatically shows a greenhouse provided with the device according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 shows a detail from Fig. 1 in a direction at right angles to Fig. 1 ;
  • Fig. 3 shows the structure illustrated in Fig. 2 in a further stage of performing an operation
  • Fig. 4 shows the structure from Fig. 1 with the operation being performed having progressed further;
  • Fig. 5 shows a top view of the treatment according to the invention.
  • a cultivation space such as a greenhouse
  • the illustrated greenhouse has roofs 2 and open web girders 3 and 4 extend at right angles to the boundary thereof (see Fig. 2).
  • Diagrammatically indicated struts 31 may be present between these open web girders.
  • These open web girders may also extend parallel to the gutters/ridges of the roofs.
  • a carriage 5 can move along the open web girders 3 and 4. This carriage is provided with a hoisting installation 7 which is controlled in a manner which is not illustrated in any more detail.
  • sensors 12 suspended from a cable can be moved up and down in the vertical direction.
  • a cable drum is provided to store the cable.
  • the hoisting installation 7 can also move a cable 11 up and down, which cable 11 comprises a hollow conduit which is connected to reservoir 10.
  • a nozzle 13 is provided at the end of cable 1 1.
  • the sensors 12 and nozzle 13 can move up and down simultaneously, but it is also possible to perform this movement independently from one another.
  • this hoisting installation it is possible for this hoisting installation to move in a transverse direction with respect to the carriage 5. This is not illustrated, but indicated diagrammatically by means of arrow 16.
  • the movement of the carriage 5 along the open web girders 3 and 4 is also controlled by a control unit which is not shown and which influences a drive motor 6. By means thereof, it is also possible to pass strut 31.
  • Fig. 2 also shows a stationary sensor 15 which extends from the bottom or growing table/gutter and is arranged between the crops. It continually measures the conditions prevailing at the spot in question.
  • Fig. 3 shows the device from Fig. 2, with the sensors 12 being arranged in a lower position, that is to say that they are situated between the plants and perform the respective measurement. Depending on the latter, nozzle 13 can be activated.
  • a number of measurements are continually performed by means of the sensors 12 by lowering the row of sensors 12 between the plants and, depending on the results obtained, performing a treatment using the nozzle 13. If an operation is to be performed between adjacent plants by means of the hoisting installation 7, the sensors 12 and nozzles 13 are moved upwards and the carriage is displaced to a position over the subsequent plants and plant wires 14 and 17 between which an operation is to take place. This is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 4.
  • the sensors 12 and nozzles 13 are moved up and down continually so that measurements can in each case be taken at most different spots between the plants and then a subsequent treatment can be carried out on the plant.
  • Fig. 5 shows a top view of all this.
  • the support 5 moves over the open web girders 3 and 4 in the direction of arrow 26. It can be seen in Fig. 5 that the open web girders 3 and 4 are at right angles to the diagrammatically indicated gutters 27 and ridges 28 of the roofs 2.
  • the carriage 5 moves in the direction of arrow 26.
  • the plants are arranged in rows 29 which extend parallel to the gutters 27.
  • the winch 7 optionally moves over the carriage 5 in the direction of arrow 16. It is not necessary to move sensor 13 up and down because sensor 13 moves between the rows of plants. In order to treat a subsequent set, sensor 13 is moved upwards, after which carriage 5 is moved to the following row of plants. The same displacement is required when passing a strut 31.
  • a number of sensors or a number of nozzles 13 or other plant-treating parts are lowered
  • such a set has the length of a "compartment", that is to say the distance between two open web girders 3 and 4.
  • the sensors may comprise any conceivable sensors, such as those for monitoring the condition of the plant.
  • fluorescence measurement is mentioned for measuring the chlorophyll reactions which are a measure of the wellbeing of the plant.
  • the reaction of the plant to a light pulse may be a measure of the condition thereof.
