Abstract

Ground moisture is measured by a humidity sensor. Parameters are transmitted via a serial interface or other digital or analog interfaces. A microprocessor or similar circuitry is used to generate drive signals for a light-emitting diode or liquid crystal display in accordance with plant-specific parameters. The humidity sensor can be inserted down to the roots.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine sensor- und parametergesteuerte elektronische Messeinheit zur automatischen Bewässerungsüberwachung der individuellen pflanzengerechten Erdfeuchtigkeit, um die pflanzenspezifischen Anforderungen beim Gießen von Topfpflanzen zu gewährleisten.The The present invention relates to a sensor and parameter controlled electronic measuring unit for automatic irrigation monitoring of the individual Plant-adapted soil moisture to meet the plant-specific requirements when casting to ensure potted plants.

Anwendungsgebieteapplication areas

Automatische Überwachung der Erdfeuchtigkeit von Topf- oder Balkonpflanzen, Foyerbegrünungen oder Grabbegrünungen.Automatic monitoring the soil moisture of potted or balcony plants, Foyerbegrünungen or Grave plantings.

Stand der TechnikState of technology

Bekannt ist zur Bewässerungsüberwachung von Pflanzen nur die Wasserfüllstandsanzeige mittels einem Schwimmer, der in einem durchsichtigen Röhrchen angebracht ist, bei der so genannten Hydrokultur. Hierbei handelt es sich jedoch nicht um eine Anzeige der Erdfeuchtigkeit.Known is for irrigation monitoring of Plant only the water level indicator by means of a float, mounted in a transparent tube is, in the so-called hydroponic culture. This is however not an indication of soil moisture.

Es gibt derzeit kein Gerät oder Anordnung mit dem eine permanente Überwachung der Erdfeuchtigkeit und Anzeige des pflanzenspezifischen Gießbedarfs von Topfflanzen möglich wäre.It currently no device or arrangement with the permanent monitoring of soil moisture and display the plant-specific casting needs of pot plants would be possible.

Aufgaben der ErfindungObjects of the invention

Die elektronische Bewässerungsüberwachung misst mit seinem Feuchtigkeitssensor die Erdfeuchtigkeit. Bei einer Mikro-Prozessor basierenden Version berechnet der Prozessor anhand der individuellen pflanzenspezifischen Daten, die über die serielle Schnittstelle oder andere übergeben wurden, die Schwellwerte zur Ansteuerung von Leuchtdioden, einem Lumineszenz Cristal Display (LCD) oder anderen Anzeigen. Bei einer analogen Elektronik werden die Schwellwerte fest oder variable eingestellt und zur Anzeige gebracht The electronic irrigation monitoring Measures moisture with its moisture sensor. At a Microprocessor based version calculates the processor based on the individual Plant-specific data about the serial port or others have passed the thresholds for controlling light-emitting diodes, a luminescent cristal display (LCD) or other displays. In an analog electronics, the Thresholds fixed or variable set and displayed
