TITLE: Photo Hydroponics Chamber with Automatic Climate Control
[001] The present invention relates to the technique of growing plants in an
incubated environment to reach the maximum efficiency in growth. More
5 particularly the invention relates to the hydroponic technique to grow crops along
with a smart light mechanism which mimics the behavior of sun emitting different
wavelengths of light at different hours.
[0021 Traditional plant growing techniques require large amount of fertile land and
10 a lot of labour to manually irrigate it and sprinkle pesticides to keep the crop healthy
which is a very tedious job thus to overcome this a water-based plant growing
technique known as hydroponics came which replaced the soil with nutrient water
being circulated in a hydroponic station enclosed in a climate control chamber.
[003] Manually irrigation in farms is a very laborious process, thus many irrigation
15 processes came into existence but none of them reduce the amount of water
consumed as compared to hydroponics. Lot of water in farms is absorbed by soil
and is directly evaporated through it while in hydroponics plants are grown directly
on water base without soil but still proper absorption of water through roots does
not take place, to overcome this aeroponics came which directly supplied water to
20 the roots with the help of nutrient water circulation to the roots and micro droplet
fogger system to shower to the leaves and to increase the humidity inside the closed
environment.

[004] For plant growth roots require air circulation between them thus in farming
ploughing is required every 15 days making it very laborious procedure while in
hydroponics or aeroponics not proper air circulation system is present and we need
to use extra ventilation system for plant growth. If we introduce a system which
5 blows air out from photo hydroponics system and lets air to enter through the holes
along the roots, with the help of this setup proper amount of oxygen can be provided
to roots which improves quality and quantity of the plants.
[005] Sunlight is the ultimate source of light for growing plants on farms, even in
hydroponics or aeroponics the light source is sunlight or full spectrum light which
10 consumes a lot of energy keeping in mind the fact that plants do not require all the
wavelength of the spectrum. If a smart energy saving grow LED light setup is used
with the system which replicates not only day and night but morning, afternoon,
evening and night it can increase the growth rate and require less time to grow
plants. The whole light changing process being controlled by timer which will
15 require less human intervention with the system.

[006] The objective of the invention is to provide a closed environment setup to
manage temperature inside the chamber with the help of temperature sensor and
climate control setup containing thermoelectric peltier hot air blower system and
5 thermoelectric peltier cold air blower system.
[007] Yet another objective of the invention is to provide a closed environment
setup to manage humidity inside the chamber, humidity is monitored using
humidity sensor and managed with the help of micro droplet fogger.
[0081 Yet another objective of the invention is to provide a closed environment
10 setup to manage gaseous levels inside the chamber, gaseous levels is monitored
using gaseous sensor and managed with the help of an DC exhaust fan system
[009] Yet another objective of the invention is to provide an artificial grow light
setup that can resemble the different phases of sun in a whole day for plants to grow
efficiently controlled through microcontroller and timer to automatically change the
15 light setup from morning to afternoon then evening to night.
[010] Yet another objective of the invention is to provide nutrient rich water in the
plants which is done with the help of timer and water pump.

[011] A chamber is designed for plants to grow on nutrient rich water [0051 with
managed physical parameters to impersonate real environmental conditions and
sunlight phases throughout the day for plants to grow efficiently.
5 [012] Photo hydroponics chamber with automatic climate control is a closed
chamber in which environment parameters like temperature, humidity, gaseous
levels and artificial grow lights are managed and controlled. The structure offers
complete temperature control with the help of temperature sensor and dual mode
climate control setup. Temperature sensor is made up of two metals, when there is
10 change in temperature an electrical voltage is generated between the metals which
is transmitted towards microcontroller which further sends signal to dual mode
climate control consisting of thermoelectric peltier cold air blower system
[007,008] and thermoelectric hot air blower system [006,0091, the algorithm for the
working of the system is designed in a way that whenever there is rise in
15 temperature cold air is blown while if there is decrease in temperature the hot air is
blown in the chamber.
[0131 The chamber offers humidity control with the help of humidity sensor and a
micro droplet fogger [019] system whenever there is decrease in humidity in the
chamber the fogger system blows out small droplets of water increasing the
20 humidity in the environment while when the humidity is increased the DC exhaust
fan [010] is turned on for air circulation in the chamber reducing the humidity of
the chamber.

[014] For proper growth of plants gases inside the chamber are monitored as too
much oxygen in the environment can reduce the photosynthesis of plants thus
reducing the grown, an air quality sensor is placed in the chamber to monitor the
gases present in the environment if there is any unwanted gas present in the chamber
5 microcontroller send signal to DC exhaust fan [010] system for the circulation of
air in the system and stops only when the level of gases inside the chamber is
maintained.
[015] The chamber is completely closed thus for plants to grow an artificial light
system is placed on the top panel of the chamber that is the roof of the chamber, the
10 roof [001] is covered with LED lights [017] which is controlled by the
microcontroller to impersonate sunlight phases during 24 hours of a day by emitting
different wavelengths of lights as per the program in the microcontroller, this setup
consumes very less energy as all lights are DC in nature.
