KR-102961714-B1 - A cabbage planting monitoring system including a cabbage planting device for biodegradable seedling pots

Abstract

The present invention relates to a planting monitoring system comprising a cabbage planter dedicated to biodegradable seedling pots. In the planting monitoring system according to the present invention, the cabbage planter dedicated to biodegradable seedling pots comprises: a driving speed sensor for detecting the driving speed of the cabbage planter; a camera for photographing a seedling pot transplanted from the cabbage planter; a control unit for calculating the distance of a previously transplanted seedling pot from an image captured by the camera; and a display unit for displaying an image input from the camera. The control unit is configured to perform planting of the next seedling pot when the distance of the seedling pot calculated through the image from the camera corresponds to a preset planting interval distance. The control unit calculates the distance between a previously transplanted seedling pot and a recently transplanted seedling pot through the image from the camera, and the control unit is configured to display the distance between the seedling pots on the seedling pot image displayed on the display.

Description

A cabbage planting monitoring system including a cabbage planting device for biodegradable seedling pots The present invention relates to a cabbage planting device dedicated to biodegradable seedling pots, and more specifically, to a cabbage planting device dedicated to biodegradable seedling pots capable of uniformly transplanting biodegradable seedling pots into a field, and a monitoring system using the same. Since napa cabbage is an important ingredient for kimchi produced year-round, it is essential to secure a self-sufficiency rate. However, concerns are being raised that continuous napa cabbage production is becoming increasingly difficult due to the decline and aging of the farming population, and the automation of agricultural operations is being researched as a solution to address these issues. Meanwhile, the process of moving seedlings of crops such as rice or vegetables to the main field for planting is called transplanting, and a machine capable of performing this task mechanically is called a transplanter. A transplanter with this function may consist of an engine module, a power transmission module that transmits power generated by the engine, a seedling tray moving module operated by the power transmission module, a transplanting module that separates seedlings from the trays moved by the seedling tray moving module and plants them, and an operation control module that regulates the operation of the entire module. In such a transplanter, the seedling tray moving module and the transplanting module may operate using a PTO (Power Take Off) method. For the transplanting operation, seedling trays containing multiple seedlings arranged at regular intervals must be transported, and the seedlings in the trays can be separated by an extraction module and transported to a hopper module. Then, the seedlings can be transplanted into the main field by the hopper module. Such a transplanting operation requires a precise process to ensure that the seedlings are arranged in a fixed form, such as maintaining a consistent row spacing. Furthermore, it is advantageous to design the machine with a structure that is simple to operate while consuming minimal energy for the operation. Patent Publication No. 10-2002-0009234 discloses a curved slide type seedling extraction and supply device for a transplanter that extracts seedlings grown in a plug seedling tray one by one and automatically supplies them to a planting hopper. Additionally, Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0056712 discloses an onion transplanter equipped with a link mechanism for transplanting, configured to accurately transplant onions into a cultivation site covered with plastic mulch using a link mechanism and a slider. However, in the case of the aforementioned transplanter, if the movement speed of the transplanter differs from the transplanting speed of the hopper that transplants seedlings during the transplanting process, or if the body of the transplanter is tilted, there is a problem in which the seedling pots are transplanted at a location off the cabbage ridge. As such, while the widespread adoption of transplanters is essential for improving agricultural efficiency and reducing labor costs in cabbage cultivation, there is a need to address the issue of delayed adoption, as one of the reasons is the difficulty in producing uniform seedlings and efficiently managing the process from seedling cultivation to transplanting.
