Abstract
A crop production system for a controlled plant growing environment is provided. A first assembly comprises a first sub-assembly that itself comprises a first plurality of arms radiating outward from a central portion, wherein each arm is separated from two adjacent arms of the first plurality of arms by respective angles, each arm has a first end proximal to the central portion and a second end distal to the central portion, and each arm is configured to support a plurality of plant growth modules. The plurality of plant growth modules may be moved in a first direction miming from the first end to the second end of each arm of the first plurality of arms.
Claims16
A crop production system for a controlled growing environment comprising a first assembly, the first assembly comprising at least two sub-assemblies, wherein:
- a. each sub-assembly of the at least two sub-assemblies comprises a respective plurality of arms radiating outward from a central portion,
- b. each arm of each plurality of arms is separated from two adjacent arms of the same plurality of arms by respective angles;
- c. each arm of each plurality of arms has a first end proximal to the central portion and a second end distal to the central portion,
- d. each arm of each plurality of arms is configured to support a corresponding plurality of plant growth modules,
- e. the plurality of plant growth modules is movable in a first direction running from the first end to the second end of the corresponding arm of the plurality of arms, and
- f. each sub-assembly of the at least two sub-assemblies radiates outward at different angles with respect to a longitudinal dimension of the central portion.
