DE3304085A1 - Terrestrial hydro-pipeline systems - Google Patents

Abstract

The terrestrial hydro-pipeline systems can be characterised as compact, modularly constructed hydroponic installations for growing useful and decorative plants, with the following essential components: 1. Lower semi-tubular support and base system for delivering the nutrient salt solutions and/or embedding the "hydro mother packs". 2. Upper semi-tubular protection and air-conditioning system. 3. Perforated support system as supporting corset for plant growing above the nutrient salt solution with devices for inserting preseeded insertable growing carpets. The terrestrial hydro-pipeline systems allow plants to be grown in regions which were previously unamenable to agricultural use (arid zones of the world, desert regions of all types).

Description

re: "Terrestrial Hydro-Pipeline-Systems"

Description The special feature of the above hydroponics is a pipeline system (Half tubes), which an inseminated gauze strip implants on perforated support systems The seed is encased in a cigarette-like body 1. a protection and supply function for the seeds and 2. a stabilization function When the plant outgrows. The body is soaked with nutrient salts and is hydroscopic, moreover translucent in the upper part.

Material for the body can be cellulose, cardboard paper, gauze, waste paper, or similar degradable material. An integrated carrier and would also be conceivable Supply system for the @esämung: "hydromutt system". In the first case, the Insemination manually or by machine by inserting the cellulose and nutrient-coated seeds the perforated support system, in the 2nd case by applying the "hydraulic nut package" on the carrier system. The plant systems grow root-wise in a flowing through or standing nutrient solution.

As an alternative to the nutrient solution, a spray system would also be used The moisture film must be removed from the surrounding Cellulose (gauze) are taken up and de @ seeds are delivered and offered Cellulose strips now surround the seed in such a way that germination is possible. The plant now grows in its supply and support system in such a way that the roots reach into the nutrient solution and the leaf systems extend above develop the carrier system.

The possibilities in rooms are characteristic of the above system To cultivate plants where previously no plant breeding was possible: arid zones and desert areas.

The characteristic central point of the systems is also the modular expansion of the hydro-pipeline system: in principle, there is no spatial dimension Limit for a plant size.

In addition, with the appropriate installation of lighting systems also a three-dimensional structure of a layered system in several floors "one on top of the other" technically possible: "Hydro-Hochhaus-S a r m i n g." To those about the carrier systems (Support systems) developing leaf systems from the drying influence of the Protecting solar radiation and the air becomes like a tunnel over the hydropipelines or dome-like protection system made of transparent plastic, glass not arid Zones set. The transparent protective systems are vapor-deposited with a light Metal layer protected against excessive solar radiation. In northern latitudes Plastic or glass tunnels serve as protection against external cold.

Claims (7)

Claims: TerrestDische Hydro-Pipeline-Systeme (THPS) (1) Land supports integrated on top of one another = placed half-pipe systems, capable of being coupled into unlimited length, used for growing useful and nutrient plants, especially in areas of arid and / or inhospitable character. characterized in that the THPS basically consists of 2 half-pipe systems exists, which are set mirror-inverted to = closing one another. The lower pipe system (or pipe = trench system) contains the nutrient salt solution solution or a root spray system. The upper half-pipe system contains the plant-like air space (= optimized with regard to favorable growth). 2. Perforated carrier grid systems that can be used in the THPS the rearing of plants. characterized in that the carrier systems exactly in the lower half-pipe system are fitted and conveniently together with fruit-bearing useful plants from the harvest lower half pipe can be taken out. 3. Perforated carrier grid with fitted and pressed-in nutrient salt-soaked Body made of cellulose, gauze, cardboard paper, waste paper or similar materials ("Hydromutterpßket") characterized, , .that the "hydraulic nut package" consists of suction and degradable material as protective and growth-promoting and enabling Envelopment of the implanted seed functions. Recreational gauze strips affect the hydraulic fluid and supply it thereby the grain with the necessary moisture. 4.: As (1.), additionally with broken grid = reflecting out Air-regulated foil roof placed on the upper half-tube. ... characterized in that a spanning attached film roof grid-like or partially = fully covered with a highly reflective mirror layer The intermediate and open areas of the grid change their transparency to Dependence on the internal pressure blown in the foil cushion according to the measured Requirements of the environment and the hydro-interior space. 5,: as (1.), with additional insertion between the mirror and plant space a cooling media space, such as air or water. characterized in that cold = blown (pressed in) air (cold water) a constant optimal temperature control of the upper plant room takes place and a constant condensation of the air humidity takes place. The condensed Water constantly runs back into the hydro basin. 6. -as (3.): but without hydraulic fluid, but with integrated spray system (perforated hose or perforated pipe in the pipe: "pipe in pipe"; other systems would also be conceivable) characterized by the fact that an interval rhythm or by constantly spraying the plant roots or the hydraulic nut packages Sufficient moisture on the underside to supply the plants with water is guaranteed. 7. As (4.), but also with integrated moisture mist generation in the upper plant room via a very fine = atomizing high pressure nozzle system. characterized in that in the upper ceiling space of the upper half-pipe a fine mist nozzle system is attached.
