[0021] The present invention relates to an indoor plant cultivation/ nurturing device that is capable of allowing the user to grow plants inside their home away from pollution in a limited space as well as monitors the required temperature of soil that is required by the particular species of plant and thereby maintains the same.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 and 2, an isometric view(s) of an indoor plant cultivation/ nurturing device and a plate associated with the proposed device are illustrated, respectively comprising of a hollow cuboidal body 101 configured with plurality of rods 102, a set of extendable plates 103 are configured within the body 101, a button 104 integrated on the body 101, a motorized sliding unit 105 arranged in between each of the plates 103 and lateral sides of the body 101, a cuboidal tray 106 arranged on each of the plates 103, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 201 installed on the sections, a LED 202 (Light Emitting Diode) grow light arranged within each of the sections, an electronically controlled spout 107 integrated in a multi-sectioned chamber 108 configured on the body 101, a microphone 109 configured on the body 101, a telescopic bar 203 attached with each of the sections, a C-shaped clamp 204 attached with the bar 203, a robotic link 205 configured with a motorized cutter 206, attached with the link 205, and installed within each of the sections, a robotic gripper 207 configured on each of the sections, an electronic nozzle 110 connected with a water reservoir 111, assembled on the body 101.

[0023] The proposed device deals with cultivating the plants in indoor area and for that comprises of a hollow cuboidal body 101 that is made preferably in portable cuboidal shape encasing various components associated with the device, developed to be positioned on a ground surface for cultivating the indoor plants and nurturing the plants. The body 101 is made up of any material selected from but not limited to metal or plastic that ensures rigidity of the body 101 for longevity of the device.

[0024] The body 101 is further configured with plurality of rods 102 (ranging from 2-4 in numbers) that support the body 101 over the fixed surface to stand in an upright position and as well as the body 101 comprises a set of extendable plates 103 that segregate the body 101 into multiple sections for the cultivation of the plants. For accessing the plates 103 associated with the body 101 the user presses a button 104 that is present on the body 101 and as the user presses the button 104, that opens up an electrical circuit and allows currents to flow for powering an associated microcontroller of the device for operating of all the linked components for performing their respective functions upon actuation and then the microcontroller accordingly actuates a motorized sliding unit 105 arranged in between each of the plates 103 to translate the plate towards the other side of the body 101 such that the plate is deployed in proximity of the user.

[0025] The sliding unit 105 include sliding rack and rail, such that plate is mounted over the racks that are electronically operated by the microcontroller for moving over the rails. The microcontroller activates the sliding unit 105 for performing the sliding operation. The sliding unit 105 is powered by a DC (direct current) motor that is activated by the microcontroller by providing required electric current to the motor. The motor comprises of a coil that converts the received electric current into mechanical force by generating magnetic field, thus the mechanical force provides the required power to the rack to provide sliding movement to the plate out from the body 101 towards the user to allow the user to position a plant sapling over a tray 106 that is provided on each of the plates 103 with enriched nutrient rich soil.

[0026] When the user positions, the plant sapling over the tray 106, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 201 is installed on the sections captures images of the vicinity of the body 101 by using an arrangement for taking images that includes a number of lenses to take several images of the vicinity. The images are then recorded as optical data in the imaging unit 201's memory. The imaging unit 201 additionally includes a processor that processes optical data and pulls necessary information from acquired photos by integrating artificial intelligence procedures into the processor. The retrieved data is subsequently transformed into digital bits and pulses, which are then sent to the microcontroller. After processing the incoming data, the microcontroller determines the vegetative and flowering stages of the plant.

[0027] On the basis of the detected stage of the plant, the microcontroller actuates a LED 202 (Light Emitting Diode) grow light that is arranged on each of the sections to light up the customized light inside the sections that give an insight of the overall development of the plant by providing the tailored light conditions. At the time of planting of the sampling, a sensing module integrated on lower portion of the tray 106 monitors the nutrient condition of the soil and the pH level of the soil using a NPK sensor and a pH sensor.

[0028] The NPK sensor is suitable for detecting the content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the soil, and judges the fertility of the soil by detecting the electrical conductivity transformation caused by different nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium concentrations in the soil. The pH sensor comprises of a pair of electrodes. When the electrode is immersed into the soil, the electrode senses the hydrogen ions due to the positive charge of the ions. Thus, detecting the pH of the soil. The sensor further converts the detected pH into electric current and transmit the signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes the signals from both the NPK sensor and pH sensor and compares the value with the threshold value pre-fed in the linked database.

[0029] On the basis of the detected values of nutrients and pH of the soil, the microcontroller actuates an electronically controlled spout 107 integrated in a multi-sectioned chamber 108 configured on the body 101 to dispense the required amount of fertilizers that is stored in the chamber 108 to maintain the fertility of the soil, wherein electronically controller sprout controls flow of nutrients by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from the microcontroller. This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, and level in view of dispensing the optimum amount of required nutrients as per the determined requirement of the soil thereby to increase the overall fertility of the soil.

[0030] The tray 106 is also mounted with a moisture sensor that measures the moisture level of the soil using one kind of sensor that includes a gauge used for measure volumetric content of water within the soil. The moisture sensor do not measure moisture in the soil directly. Instead, they measure changes that is related to moisture content in a predictable way in the soil and transmits the detected value of the soil to the microcontroller. The microcontroller evaluates the moisture content of the soil and in case the detected moisture of the soil recedes a threshold limit, then the microcontroller actuates an electronic nozzle 110 connected with a water reservoir 111 provided on the body 101 to dispense required amount of water on the soil such that the detected moisture is maintained effectively, wherein the electronic nozzle 110 works same as the sprout.

[0031] The water reservoir 111 mentioned herein is supplied with a level sensor monitors the level of water inside the water reservoir 111 by utilizing a type of point sensor which detects the level of the water by measuring the amount of infrared light that is reflected back from the surface of the water reservoir 111 into a photodiode associated with the sensor.

[0032] The level sensor detects the level of the water and sends to the microcontroller in the form of electrical signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes the signal of the detected level with a threshold level pre-fed in the linked database and in case detected level of the water recedes the threshold limit then the microcontroller actuates a speaker to take the input signal from the microcontroller, and process and amplify the received signal through a series of equipment in a specific order within the speaker, and then sends the output signal in form of audio notification through the speaker for alerting the user regarding the refilling of the water reservoir 111.

[0033] In addition, the microcontroller detects the species of the plant using the imaging unit 201 and on the basis of the detected species of plant the microcontroller evaluates a temperature that is to be maintained with the sections corresponding to the temperature that particular species requires for that the microcontroller actuates a Peltier unit configured within each of the sections to maintain the required temperature of the soil in an effective manner.

[0034] The Peltier unit works based on the Peltier effect that stated that the cooling of one junction and the heating of the other when electric current is maintained in a circuit of material consisting of two dissimilar conductors. The Peltier effect related to production or absorption of heat at the junction of two metals on the passage of a current thereby provides a required amount of temperature of the soil as per the species inside the sections.

[0035] The user then accesses a microphone 109 configured on the body 101 to provide input commands regarding harvesting of the plant. The microphone 109 turns the sound energy emitted by the user into electrical energy. The sound waves created by the user carry energy towards the microphone 109. Inside the microphone 109, a diaphragm, made of plastic, is present and moves back and forth when the sound wave hits the diaphragm.

[0036] The coil attached to the diaphragm also moves in same way. The magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet cuts through the coil. As the coil moves, the electric current flows. The electric current from coil flows to an amplifier which convert the sound into electrical signal. The microcontroller linked to the microphone 109 recognize the voice and perform the operations according to the command given by the user regarding the harvesting of the plant, wherein on the basis of the user given input a color sensor works in sync with the imaging unit 201 and detects the presence of fruit or vegetable in the tray 106.

[0037] The color sensor detects and measures the intensity of red, green, and blue light wavelengths reflected off from the fruits and vegetables present on the grown sapling of plants and typically consists of photodiodes with color filters, converting light into electrical signals. These signals are then analyzed by the microcontroller and in case presence of fruit or vegetable is detected over the tray 106, then the microcontroller actuates a telescopic bar 203 attached with each of the sections to extend using a pneumatic arrangement that includes a pneumatic cylinder, air compressor, electronic valve, cylinder and piston.

[0038] The valve is an electronic valve that allows entry/exit of compressed air from the compressor. Furthermore, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The piston is connected to the cylinder and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston extends. For the retraction of the piston, air is released from the cylinder to the air compressor via the valve. Thus, providing the required extension/retraction of the bar 203 to place a C-shaped clamp 204 attached with the bar 203 on the branch of the plant.

[0039] On reaching near the plant, the microcontroller actuates the clamp 204 to grip the bunch of the fruit or vegetable to secure the same inside the grip of the clamp 204, wherein the clamp 204 comprises a motor attached with clamp 204. The clamp 204 is a fastening equipment used to grip the fruit or vegetable. The clamp 204 comprises a pair of curved motorize clamp 204, which attached with motor to grip the fruit or vegetable effectively. A direct current (DC) motor is activated by the microcontroller to open/close the motorized clamp 204 for successful gripping of the vegetable and fruit.

[0040] Post gripping of the fruit or vegetable by the clamp 204, the microcontroller actuates a robotic link 205 integrated with a cutter 206 to extend and position the cutter 206 near the stem of the detected gripped fruit or vegetable. The robotic link 205 is made of several segments that are attached together by joints also referred to as axes. Each joint of the segments contains a step motor that rotates and allows the robotic link 205 to complete a specific motion of the link 205.

[0041] Upon actuation of the robotic link 205 by the microcontroller, the motor drives the movement of the link 205 to position the cutter 206 for cutting the gripped fruit or vegetable securely. After the cutting of the fruit or vegetable, the microcontroller actuates a robotic gripper 207 configured on each of the sections to acquire a grip on the cut fruit or vegetable such to thereby position the cut fruit or vegetable on a receptacle arranged underneath each of the sections.

[0042] In addition, the user is also able to track the condition of the plant in real time by means of a computing unit that is remotely accessed by the user and is wirelessly connected with the device via a communication module that includes but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module and establishes a secure wireless connection of the device in an effective manner enabling the user to track the growth of the plant in an effective manner.

[0043] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.

[0044] The proposed device works best in the following manner, where the hollow cuboidal body 101 configured with plurality of rods 102 that providing support to the body 101 over the fixed surface and the body 101 has the set of extendable plates 103 segregated the body 101 into multiple sections. Thereafter the user accesses the button 104 integrated on the body 101 for accessing the plates 103 and upon pressing of the button 104, the motorized sliding unit 105 translate the body 101 towards outer side of the body 101 along the sliding unit 105 for deploying the plate in proximity to the user. After the deploying of the plate, the cuboidal tray 106 filled with nutrient rich soil allow the user to plant saplings on the tray 106 and then the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 201 captures multiple images in vicinity of the body 101. On the basis of the captured images the microcontroller determines the vegetative and flowering stages of the plant, and based on detected plant stage, the LED 202 (Light Emitting Diode) grow light provide customized lighting inside the sections, thereby ensuring tailored light conditions for overall development of the plant. Thereafter the sensing module monitors the parameters including pH level and nutritional content in soil using the NPK sensor and pH sensor and on the basis of the detected signals the microcontroller evaluates the suitable fertilizer for the soil and accordingly the electronically controlled spout 107 dispenses the suitable fertilizer store in the chamber 108 on the soil in order to increase fertility of the soil for proper nourishment of the plant. Then the microcontroller via the imaging unit 201 detects species of plants places in the tray 106, and based on the detected species of plant, the temperature to be maintained within each of the sections is determined and accordingly the Peltier units maintain the determined temperature in the sections. Now the user accesses the microphone 109 for giving the input commands regarding harvesting of the plant based on which the color sensor works in synchronization with the imaging unit 201 and detects the presence of fruit/ vegetable growing on the tray 106, and simultaneously telescopic bar 203 attached with each of the sections extend to position the C-shaped clamp 204 attached with the bar 203, on branch of the plant, followed by actuation of the clamp 204 for gripping the branch in order to secure the plant with the clamp 204 and the robotic link 205 positions the cutter 206 in vicinity to the fruit/ vegetable, followed by actuation of the cutter 206 for cutting the vegetable/fruit.
