Abstract
The present invention provides a smart plant cultivation device and a smart plant cultivation system which, by using an Internet of things (IoT) technology, can automatically configure a cultivation environment according to a variety of plants, automatically perform zoning control of a light source module, and monitor and record a cultivation process of a plant through a user device.
Claims16
A plant cultivation device, comprising:
- a case having a cultivation space and a door;
- one or more sensors configured to detect a presence of a user near the door;
- a tray disposed in the cultivation space and provided with a plurality of capsule accommodation parts on which plural capsules are placed;
- a sensor module that senses the plural capsules and generates sensing information;
- a light source module that emits light into the cultivation space;
- a culture medium module for feeding a culture medium on the tray;
- an air conditioning module that executes at least one operation of re-feeding (or recycling) a gas in the cultivation space or feeding external air to the cultivation space;
- and
- a control module that receives sensing information transmitted from the sensor module and controls at least one of the light source module, the culture medium module and the air conditioning module using the sensing information,
- wherein a seed to determine species thereof is received in each of the plural capsules,
- each of the plural capsule accommodation parts has an active state in which at least one of the plural capsules is accommodated and an inactive state in which at least one of the plural capsules is not accommodated, and
- the sensing information includes species information on species of each of the plural capsules and accommodation information on the state of each of the plural capsule accommodation parts,
- wherein the light source module comprises a plurality of lamp groups, each group including one or more lamps;
- and,
- wherein the control module is configured to determine whether an occurrence detected by the one or more sensors is a glare condition in which glare from the lamps is to be emitted to the user's eyes and, upon determining a presence of the glare condition, adjust a light intensity level from the lamps less than that of a normal condition pre-defined or selectively darken the one or more lamps adjacent to the door, wherein the glare condition includes a first glare condition in which a user approaches the door of the case, a second glare condition in which a user contacts the door of the case, and a third glare condition in which the door of the case is opened.
