La presente invención consiste en un sistema de iluminación LED flexible que permite iluminar de manera homogénea un plano horizontal, y su uso para el cultivo de plantas en espacios cerrados, como invernaderos y laboratorios de propagación vegetal, con el objetivo de optimizar el crecimiento de las mismas. The present invention consists of a flexible LED lighting system that allows homogeneous illumination of a horizontal plane, and its use for growing plants in closed spaces, such as greenhouses and plant propagation laboratories, with the aim of optimizing the growth of the plants. themselves.
Antecedentes. Background.
En la naturaleza, el crecimiento óptimo de las plantas depende de manera imperativa de la absorción de la luz, que es realizada por distintos pigmentos especiales llamados fotoreceptores, de manera transversal en cientos de variedades de plantas. La fotosíntesis es el proceso que convierte la energía proveniente de la luz solar u otras fuentes de iluminación artificial, en energía química, la que puede ser utilizada por los sistemas biológicos como las plantas. Tres características principaies de la luz afectan el crecimiento de la planta: cantidad (intensidad o cantidad de fotones), calidad (espectro lumínico o longitud de onda de la luz o color) y duración (tiempo). El color y la intensidad de la luz se usan en diferentes reacciones de fotosíntesis. Por ejemplo, existen pigmentos fotoreceptores que utilizan la luz roja y azul para realizar la fotosíntesis, y otros pigmentos fotosensibles, son capaces de percibir distintas partes del espectro lumínico reaccionando y produciendo una cascada de señalización que permite a la planta responder ante ios estímulos ambientales. In nature, the optimal growth of plants depends imperatively on the absorption of light, which is carried out by different special pigments called photoreceptors, in a transversal way in hundreds of varieties of plants. Photosynthesis is the process that converts energy from sunlight or other sources of artificial lighting into chemical energy, which can be used by biological systems such as plants. Three main characteristics of light affect plant growth: quantity (intensity or quantity of photons), quality (light spectrum or wavelength of light or color) and duration (time). The color and intensity of light are used in different photosynthesis reactions. For example, there are photoreceptor pigments that use red and blue light to carry out photosynthesis, and other photosensitive pigments are capable of perceiving different parts of the light spectrum, reacting and producing a signaling cascade that allows the plant to respond to environmental stimuli.
En cultivos vegetales realizados en invernaderos, siempre es deseable controlar el crecimiento de las plantas y lograr diferentes resultados como, por ejemplo, mantener un crecimiento acelerado para la propagación, mantener un crecimiento disminuido o basal para plantas madres, estimular enraizamiento para plantas propagadas y generar condiciones para aclimatar plantas antes de ser plantada en terreno. Así, puede ser conveniente promover o inhibir el crecimiento de una planta y otros procesos fisiológicos. En estos aspectos el control de la luz que reciben los cultivos es determinante y sub-utilizada. Actualmente, se conoce una variedad de aparatos de iluminación para el cultivo de plantas los que se utilizan principalmente para promover el crecimiento de plantas sin que éste se vea afectado por las estaciones o el clima.
Los tipos comunes de iluminación incluyen luces incandescentes, luces fluorescentes, luces de sodio de alta presión y luces halógenas, entre otras. La cantidad de intensidad de determinadas longitudes de onda de luz pueden variar con el tipo de luces utilizadas para controlar el crecimiento. De manera general, se considera que irradiar plantas con luz azul y roja es bueno para su crecimiento ya que la luz verde es absorbida con menor eficiencia que las mencionadas. Es así, que, en algunos aparatos de iluminación utilizados específicamente para el cultivo de plantas, están diseñados para irradiar plantas con iuz azul y la luz roja. Además, existe una relación en la proporción entre la intensidad de la luz azul y la luz roja que se considera óptima para el cultivo de una especie de planta en particular. Se sabe que la relación óptima antes mencionada es diferente dependiendo del tipo o especie de la planta y etapa de crecimiento de éstas. Por lo tanto, se debe considerar dicho aspecto al momento de elegir un aparato de iluminación para el cultivo de una especie o variedad de planta en particular. In vegetable crops grown in greenhouses, it is always desirable to control plant growth and achieve different results, such as maintaining accelerated growth for propagation, maintaining slow or basal growth for mother plants, stimulating rooting for propagated plants and generating conditions to acclimatize plants before being planted in the field. Thus, it may be desirable to promote or inhibit plant growth and other physiological processes. In these aspects, the control of the light that the crops receive is decisive and under-used. Currently, a variety of plant growing lighting fixtures are known which are primarily used to promote plant growth without being affected by seasons or weather. Common types of lighting include incandescent lights, fluorescent lights, high pressure sodium lights, and halogen lights, among others. The amount of intensity of certain wavelengths of light can vary with the type of lights used to control growth. In general, it is considered that irradiating plants with blue and red light is good for their growth since green light is absorbed less efficiently than those mentioned. Thus, in some lighting devices used specifically for growing plants, they are designed to irradiate plants with blue light and red light. Also, there is a relationship in the ratio between the intensity of blue light and red light that is considered optimal for growing a particular plant species. It is known that the aforementioned optimal ratio is different depending on the type or species of the plant and its growth stage. Therefore, this aspect should be considered when choosing a lighting device for growing a particular species or variety of plant.
En la última década se ha incorporado el uso de iluminación LED ( Ligh ! Emitting Diodes) en los sistemas de cultivos de plantas en invernadero. Los LEDs consisten en una capa de dos semiconductores diferentes y se pueden usar para proporcionar una fuente de luz con una longitud de onda específica. In the last decade, the use of LED lighting (Light Emitting Diodes) has been incorporated into greenhouse plant growing systems. LEDs consist of a layer of two different semiconductors and can be used to provide a source of light with a specific wavelength.
En la actualidad, existen aparatos o dispositivos que utilizan iluminación LED para la propagación de plantas en laboratorio, invernaderos y granjas urbanas a escala comercial. Variados aparatos que usan LEDs permiten proporcionar la intensidad de luz y/o la longitud de onda deseadas para controlar el crecimiento de las plantas de una forma más precisa. At present, there are apparatus or devices that use LED lighting for the propagation of plants in laboratories, greenhouses and urban farms on a commercial scale. Various devices that use LEDs make it possible to provide the desired light intensity and / or wavelength to control plant growth in a more precise way.
Sin embargo, los aparatos convencionales de iluminación LED para el cultivo de plantas, tienen la dificultad de dar luz a una pluralidad de plantas con una distribución de cantidad de luz uniforme. Cuando se ilumina un plano horizontal o una mesa (en el caso de crecimiento de plantas), lo ideal sería tener la misma cantidad de luz en cada punto, tanto en intensidad como en composición del espectro lumínico. Esta distribución pareja se espera que sea uniforme en el eje lateral y longitudinal. Por ejemplo, en un dispositivo de iluminación convencional para cultivar plantas, es difícil proporcionar luz en la planta del borde, entre una pluralidad de plantas dispuestas en un plano, con luz del mismo nivel e intensidad que la que recibe una planta de ubicación central. La distribución de intensidad lumínica generada por las soluciones actuales, como tubos fluorescentes o tubos LED estándar, concentran la luz en el centro del plano horizontal (Figura 1_a). En el caso de tubos de iluminación con dispersión más restringida, como es el caso de
luces o focos LED de alta potencia, el ángulo de dispersión es reducido y se generan áreas de mucha Intensidad y áreas de baja Intensidad lumínica, afectando el proceso productivo de multiplicación de cultivos uniformes. However, conventional LED lighting fixtures for growing plants have the difficulty of illuminating a plurality of plants with a uniform light quantity distribution. When a horizontal plane or a table is illuminated (in the case of plant growth), the ideal would be to have the same amount of light at each point, both in intensity and composition of the light spectrum. This even distribution is expected to be uniform on the lateral and longitudinal axis. For example, in a conventional lighting device for growing plants, it is difficult to provide light at the border plant, among a plurality of plants arranged in a plane, with light of the same level and intensity as that received by a centrally located plant. The light intensity distribution generated by current solutions, such as fluorescent tubes or standard LED tubes, concentrates the light in the center of the horizontal plane (Figure 1_a). In the case of lighting tubes with more restricted dispersion, such as High power LED lights or spotlights, the angle of dispersion is reduced and areas of high intensity and areas of low light intensity are generated, affecting the productive process of multiplication of uniform crops.
Otro problema asociado con las luces LED es que estas luces, cuando son específicas para plantas, tienen rangos limitados del espectro lumínico usado en la fotosíntesis, generando desbalances en la absorción de la luz en los pigmentos fotoslntétlcos. Del mismo modo, la luz LED de color blanco, que utiliza la fluorescencia a partir de una parte de la luz azul del espectro, genera un color blanco, que está diseñado mas propiamente para humanos y tienen un espectro muy limitado con presencia de color azul y rojo que no necesariamente se encuentra en el rango de absorción de las plantas. Es por esto que las soluciones más populares, son las que usan rangos específicos del espectro en lentes separados, generando una distribución no uniforme de la proporción del color de la luz que Incide en los cultivos en el plano horizontal (Figura 1 a, Figura 2 a, y Figura 3 c y d). Another problem associated with LED lights is that these lights, when they are specific to plants, have limited ranges of the light spectrum used in photosynthesis, generating imbalances in the absorption of light in photosynthetic pigments. In the same way, white LED light, which uses fluorescence from a part of the blue light of the spectrum, generates a white color, which is designed more properly for humans and has a very limited spectrum with the presence of blue. and red which is not necessarily in the absorption range of plants. This is why the most popular solutions are those that use specific ranges of the spectrum in separate lenses, generating a non-uniform distribution of the proportion of the color of the light that affects the crops in the horizontal plane (Figure 1 a, Figure 2 a, and Figure 3 c and d).
Existen otras problemáticas asociadas a los sistemas convencionales de Iluminación LED para plantas. Por ejemplo, son de difícil Instalación, generan calor debido a la tecnología y a que los drlvers se encuentran montados dentro de las lámparas (Figura 4), tienen variación en la Intensidad lumínica, presentan variación en la vida útil de los componentes, entre otros. El sistema flexible de Iluminación LED para plantas objeto de la presente Invención , da respuesta a estas problemáticas. Principalmente, permite ¡luminar con cierta proporción de luz roja y azul, a una Intensidad uniforme una pluralidad de plantas dispuestas en un plano horizontal. There are other problems associated with conventional LED lighting systems for plants. For example, they are difficult to install, they generate heat due to the technology and because the drivers are mounted inside the lamps (Figure 4), they have variation in light intensity, they present variation in the useful life of the components, among others. The flexible LED lighting system for plants object of the present invention, responds to these problems. Mainly, it allows to illuminate with a certain proportion of red and blue light, at a uniform intensity, a plurality of plants arranged in a horizontal plane.
Por otra parte, los sistemas estándar de Iluminación para plantas pueden generar un espectro fijo, sin la posibilidad de variación en el espectro lumínico. Esto es un problema ya que las distintas etapas de crecimiento vegetal y distintas especies y variedades, pueden requerir un espectro diferente para generar condiciones óptimas. El sistema descrito aquí, permite ajustar el espectro lumínico y junto con la Interfaz web, es posible programar diferentes programas o recetas lumínicas que permiten variar el espectro lumínico para cada tipo de especie y, por ejemplo, generar condiciones de amanecer y anochecer. On the other hand, standard lighting systems for plants can generate a fixed spectrum, without the possibility of variation in the light spectrum. This is a problem since the different stages of plant growth and different species and varieties may require a different spectrum to generate optimal conditions. The system described here allows you to adjust the light spectrum and together with the web interface, it is possible to program different light programs or recipes that allow you to vary the light spectrum for each type of species and, for example, generate dawn and dusk conditions.
El documento más relevante del estado de la técnica para la presente Invención corresponde al documento WO2017168667 (A1 ). El documento WO2017168667 (A1 ) describe un dispositivo de Iluminación para el cultivo de plantas, que tiene una pluralidad de LEDs que están dispuestos de manera lineal y asimétrica. En este dispositivo los
LEDs están ordenados de manera lineal, con una mayor densidad de LEDs en los extremos. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de la Invención del documento WO2017168667 (A1 ) fue mejorar la distribución de la luz entregada a una pluralidad de plantas en los bordes extremos de un plano horizontal . Dentro de la descripción detallada del Invento se Incluye la utilización de LEDs que emiten en distintas longitudes de onda y se puede variar la posición de los LEDs y la altura del sistema de Iluminación para controlar la Intensidad. Sin embargo, el sistema descrito en dicho documento no Incorpora el control de Intensidad lumínica mediante la utilización de un software, ni la flexibilidad para programar la Iluminación ni de“recetas” de luz que pueden ser usadas para distintos tipos de cultivos. Esta Invención no describe como deben Ir las luces y en el ejemplo dado, las luces van ubicadas en paralelo equidistantes entre los bordes. Además, menciona el uso de distintos LEDs como unidades separadas, no menciona el uso de multlcrlstales en un mismo LED. The most relevant document of the state of the art for the present invention corresponds to document WO2017168667 (A1). Document WO2017168667 (A1) describes a lighting device for growing plants, which has a plurality of LEDs that are arranged linearly and asymmetrically. In this device the LEDs are arranged in a linear fashion, with a higher density of LEDs at the ends. Therefore, the aim of the Invention of WO2017168667 (A1) was to improve the distribution of light delivered to a plurality of plants at the extreme edges of a horizontal plane. Within the detailed description of the Invention, the use of LEDs that emit in different wavelengths is included and the position of the LEDs and the height of the lighting system can be varied to control the intensity. However, the system described in said document does not incorporate light intensity control through the use of software, nor the flexibility to program lighting or light "recipes" that can be used for different types of crops.
