- the controller 320 controls the operation of the first motor or the second motor according to the operation mode, the cartridge mode, and the emergency mode.
- the operation mode is a mode in which the rotation structure 200 normally rotates after the cultivation cartridge 100 is mounted on the rotation structure 200 .
- the controller 320 rotates the rotating structure 200 by controlling the operation of the first motor in the driving mode.
- the first motor is a motor that directly rotates the rotating structure 200 and may have a greater torque than the second motor.
- Cartridge mode is a mode of mounting or separating the cultivation cartridge 100 to the mounting rod 221 unfolded in the rotating structure 200 .
- the controller 320 controls the operation of the second motor in the cartridge mode.
- the second motor controls the rotation of the rotating structure 200 so that the cultivation cartridge 100 is positioned horizontally from the ground to facilitate mounting and separation of the cultivation cartridge 100 from the mounting rod 221 unfolded in the cartridge mode. plays a role Since the second motor needs to finely control the rotation of the rotating structure 200 , it may have a relatively small torque compared to the first motor.
- the position where the cultivation cartridge 100 is horizontal from the ground refers to the mounting rod ( 221) and the cultivation cartridge 100 is a position forming a horizontal direction from the ground.
- the controller 320 operates the second motor so that, when the cultivation cartridge 100 is removed or mounted while the cultivation cartridge 100 is horizontal from the ground, the second motor so that the other cultivation cartridge 100 is horizontal from the ground. to operate At this time, the controller 320 senses whether the cultivation cartridge 100 is properly separated from the mounting rod 221 or properly mounted using a plurality of sensors (not shown). If it is detected through a plurality of sensors that the cultivation cartridge 100 is not properly mounted or separated from the mounting rod 221 , the controller 320 stops the operation of the second motor.
- the reason why the cultivation cartridge 100 can be fixed in a horizontal direction from the ground when the mounting rod 221 is spread from the second support frame 230 is controlled by the rotation stoppers 202 and 222 to be described below. 1 This is because the rotation radius of the support frame 220 is limited within a predetermined angle. A description of the rotation stop units 202 and 222 will be described again with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 below.
- the emergency mode is a mode for rapidly stopping the operation of the rotating structure 200 when an emergency situation occurs while the rotating structure 200 is rotating.
- the controller 320 stops the operation of the first motor or the second motor in the emergency mode to stop the rotating structure 200 from rotating. For example, in the driving mode or the cartridge mode, the controller 320 detects that the mounting rod 221 is detached from the second support frame 230 using a plurality of sensors (not shown). When it is sensed that the mounting rod 221 is separated from the second support frame 230 , the controller 320 may immediately stop the operation of the first motor or the second motor to prevent an accident.
- controller 320 operates in each mode using two motors, but the number of motors may be one or three or more.
