Description

La présente invention concerne un caisson pour plantes. Plus particulièrement, l'invention se rapporte à la réalisation d'une serre d'appartement autonome, c'est-à- dire disposant de l'ensemble des équipements aptes à contrôler l'ensemble des paramètres d'environnement de la serre et à ajuster en conséquence ces paramètres d' environnβment . The present invention relates to a box for plants. More particularly, the invention relates to the realization of an autonomous apartment greenhouse, that is to say having all the equipment able to control all the environmental parameters of the greenhouse and to adjust accordingly these environment parameters.
On connaît à l'heure actuelle des serres formées généralement par une ou plusieurs toiles plastiques, plus ou moins volumineuses, liées entres elles destinées à constituer un volume clos de manière en particulier à réguler la température de la serre et éventuellement la taux d'humidité ambiant. Ces systèmes sont adaptés pour des abris de taille relativement imposante et prévoient essentiellement une utilisation manuelle, à savoir que ces serres sont des jardins couverts et sont donc prévues en pleine terre. Ce type de serres classiques comportent un diffuseur d'eau (sous la forme d'un jet d'eau) au niveau du sol est relié à un robinet classique actionnable par un opérateur pour ouvrir ou fermer Js débit d'eau destiné à alimenter les végétaux, les arbres, les fruits etc.Currently known greenhouses generally formed by one or more plastic sheets, more or less bulky, bound together to form a closed volume so in particular to regulate the temperature of the greenhouse and possibly the moisture content ambient. These systems are suitable for relatively large sized shelters and essentially provide for manual use, namely that these greenhouses are covered gardens and are therefore planned in the open ground. This type of conventional greenhouses have a water diffuser (in the form of a water jet) at ground level is connected to a conventional faucet operable by an operator to open or close Js flow of water for supplying water. plants, trees, fruits etc.
On connaît également par le document FR 2576747 un terrarium constitué d'un ensemble de panneaux modulables comportant une portion servant de réserve d'eau pour les plantes présentes dans le terrarium ainsi qu'un dispositif d'éclairage.Also known from FR 2576747 a terrarium consisting of a set of modular panels having a portion serving as a water reserve for the plants in the terrarium and a lighting device.
Ce système présente certes un intérêt mais il no permet pas une circulation avantageuse de l'eau dans le terrarium. La réserve d'eau est toujours constituée dans une partie du terrarium et n'est diffusée que par l'intermédiaire d'un canal en provenance de la réserve d'eau qui diffuse, plus ou moins lentement et de façon plus ou moins homogène, cette eau à l'ensemble du bac comportant les végétaux ou analogues, c'est-à-dire par sa portion inférieure. Par ailleurs, la quantité d'eau nécessaire aux végétaux ou analogues n'est pas ajustable de sorte que ces derniers, ou plus précisément leurs racines, peuvent se trouver noyés dans un trop plein d'eau ou au contraire manques d'eau. Dans un tel système, seules les racines des végétaux sont arrosées dans un tel système de diffusion d'eau.This system certainly has an interest but it does not allow an advantageous circulation of water in the terrarium. The reserve of water is always constituted in a part of the terrarium and is diffused only through a channel coming from the reserve of water which diffuse, more or less slowly and in a more or less homogeneous way, this water to the whole tank including plants or the like, that is to say by its lower portion. Moreover, the amount of water needed for plants or the like is not adjustable so that the latter, or more precisely their roots, can be embedded in an overflow of water or, on the contrary, lack of water. In such a system, only the roots of plants are watered in such a system of water diffusion.
L'invention a pour but de pallier aux inconvénients des systèmes de l'art antérieur en proposant un caisson étanche pour plantes ou analogues dans lequel la diffusion de l'eau est réalisée de façon optimum, c'est-à-dire que les racines des plantes disposent toujours d'une quantité suffisante d'eau, sans jamais être excessive et nuire à la plante. Par ailleurs, dans ce caisson, l'eau est constamment en circulation dans un circuit fermé, depuis la réserve d'eau située sous la plante jusqu'à la partie supérieuxe du caisson ou de la plante. Par ailleurs, le caisson pour plantes selon l'invention est particulièrement bien adapté pour être disposé dans un espace relativement exigu, par exemple une pièce de dimensions modestes dans un appartement et être déplacé si nécessaire.The aim of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the systems of the prior art by proposing a watertight box for plants or the like in which the diffusion of water is carried out in an optimum manner, that is to say that the roots plants always have a sufficient amount of water, without ever being excessive and harming the plant. Moreover, in this box, the water is constantly circulating in a closed circuit, from the water reserve located under the plant to the upper part of the box or the plant. Furthermore, the plant box according to the invention is particularly well suited to be arranged in a relatively small space, for example a small room in an apartment and be moved if necessary.
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un caisson étanche pour plantes, comportant des parois latérales et deux parois, l'une supérieure et l'autre inférieure, définissant un volume clos apte à loger au moins une plante ou analogue, au moins un dispositif d'éclairage et une portion inférieure de réserve au moins partiellement remplie d'eau, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un dispositif brumisateur relié pour son alimentation, via une pompe à eau, à la susdite portion de réserva de sorte que le circuit d'eau du caisson fonctionne en circuit fermé. Grâce à la brumisation permettant une circulation tournante de l'eau, c'est-à-dire de la portion inférieure à la partie supérieure du caisson, associée au confinement de l'espace, l'ensemble des plantes sont arrosés de façon homogène et les différents paramètres (taux d'humidité, luminosité) dans le caisson peuvent être contrôlés de façon optimum, notamment en augmentant la bcumisation ou en la diminuant et éventuellement en utilisant un ventilateur échangeant l'air intérieur avec l'air extérieur au caisson.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a waterproof box for plants, comprising side walls and two walls, one upper and the other lower, defining a closed volume adapted to house at least one plant or the like, at least one device lighting and a lower portion of reserve at least partially filled with water, characterized in that it comprises a misting device connected for its supply, via a water pump, to the aforesaid portion of reserva so that the circuit d water from the box works in a closed circuit. Thanks to the misting allowing a rotating circulation of the water, that is to say of the lower portion to the upper part of the box, associated with the confinement of the space, all the plants are watered in a homogeneous way and the various parameters (humidity level, brightness) in the box can be controlled optimally, in particular by increasing the amount of fluidization or by decreasing it and possibly by using a fan exchanging the indoor air with the air outside the box.
On entend par l'expression "dispositif de brumisation" un dispositif mécanique permettant de vaporiser un liquide en fines gouttelettes.The term "misting device" means a mechanical device for vaporizing a liquid in fine droplets.
Idéalement, le brumisateur est un brumisateur à ultrasons.Ideally, the fogger is an ultrasonic fogger.
Avantageusement, le caisson étanche poυc plantes comprend au moins un ventilateur, fixé sur l'une des susdites parois, pour le renouvellement de l'air a l'intérieur du caisson.Advantageously, the watertight container for plants comprises at least one fan, fixed on one of the aforesaid walls, for the renewal of the air inside the box.

Bien entendu, on pourra prévoir que les moyens d'éclairage 20 soient situés à un autre endroit du caisson 3, notamment sur les parois latérales 5.Advantageously, lighting means 20 are fixed on the cover 4 so as to orient the light towards the bottom, that is to say in the direction of the plant (s) 10 present (s) in the box 1. Of course, it can be provided that the lighting means 20 are located at another location of the box 3, in particular on the side walls 5.
La portion inférieure 6 du caisson 1 est surmontée d'une grille 21, d'un grillage ou analogue faisant office de support pour au moins une plante 10. Ce moyen de support 21 présente une pluralité d'orifices ou trous afin de laisser s'écouler l'eau condensé suite à la dispersion par le dispositif brumisateur 9 de sorte à ce qu'elle s'accumule dans la portion inférieure 6 du caisson 1. Bien entendu, ce moyen de support 21 est suffisamment solide pour supporter le poids d'une pluralité de plantes 10 qui y sont déposées.The lower portion 6 of the box 1 is surmounted by a grid 21, a grid or the like serving as a support for at least one plant 10. This support means 21 has a plurality of orifices or holes to let s' discharge the condensed water following dispersion by the misting device 9 so that it accumulates in the lower portion 6 of the box 1. Of course, this support means 21 is strong enough to support the weight of a plurality of plants 10 deposited thereon.
Enfin, le caisson 1 dispose d'au moins un ventilateur 30, relié avec l'extérieur, qui a pour fonction d'aérer l'air intérieur du caisson 1 et d'abaisser éventuellement le taux d'humidité et la température dans le caisson 1. Le caisson 1 est muni d'au moins un hydromètre, non représenté ici, apte à mesurer le taux d'humidité dans le caisson 1. Si un taux d'humidité trop important est détecté par l' hydromètre, alors un signal sonore ou visuel (par exemple sous la forme d'une diode allumée) peut éventuellement alerter un opérateur afin que celui-ci arrête le dispositif brumisateur 9, éventuellement enclenche le ventilateur '30 relié à l'air extérieur, ces deux actions ayant principalement pour conséquence d'abaisser le taux d'humidité dans le caisson.Finally, the casing 1 has at least one ventilator 30, connected with the outside, whose function is to ventilate the inside air of the casing 1 and possibly lower the humidity level and the temperature in the casing 1. The caisson 1 is provided with at least one hydrometer, not shown here, capable of measuring the humidity level in the caisson 1. If a too high humidity level is detected by the hydrometer, then a sound signal or video (e.g. in the form of a lighted diode) may optionally alert an operator so that the latter stops the atomizer device 9, optionally activates the fan '30 connected to the outside air, these two actions being primarily a result to lower the humidity level in the box.
Le dispositif de brumisateut 9 est idéalement un brumisateur à ultrasons. Dans un tel dispositif de brumisafcion, la brume est produite par un oscillateur vibrant à une fréquence ultrasonique dans un récipient rempli au moins partiellement d'eau. La taille des gouttelettes ainsi obtenues par ce type de brumisateur est aussi petite que 0,5 μm (micromètre), une évaporation rapide étant donc assurée. Le taux d'humidité avec un tel dispositif brumisateur 9 est généralement très important, de l'ordre de 90%, ce qui permet d'utiliser le caisson 1 selon l'invention pour des plantes nécessitant ce type d'environnement ou à défaut à n'utiliser ce dispositif de brumisation très temporairement afin d'augmenter sporadiquement le taux d'humidité ambiant. Etant donné qu'il est préférable d'utiliser une eau déminéralisée dans ce type de brumisateur, le système d'extraction d'eau dans la portion inférieure 6 du caisson 1 sera avantageusement muni d'un système de filtration éliminant toutes impuretés.The misting device 9 is ideally an ultrasonic fogger. In such a brumisafcion device, the mist is produced by an oscillator vibrating at an ultrasonic frequency in a container at least partially filled with water. The size of the droplets thus obtained by this type of mist is as small as 0.5 microns (micrometer), so rapid evaporation is ensured. The humidity level with such a misting device 9 is generally very important, of the order of 90%, which makes it possible to use the box 1 according to the invention for plants requiring this type of environment or, failing that, do not use this misting device for a long time in order to sporadically increase the ambient humidity level. Since it is preferable to use a demineralized water in this type of mist, the water extraction system in the lower portion 6 of the box 1 will advantageously be provided with a filtration system eliminating any impurities.
Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, au moins l'une des cloisons latérales 5 présente un pan coulissant 32 permettant d'ouvrir le caisson 1, notamment pour disposer de nouvelles plantes 10, en enlever ou couper telles ou telles sections d'une plante.According to another aspect of the invention, at least one of the side walls 5 has a sliding panel 32 for opening the box 1, in particular to have new plants 10, remove or cut such or such sections of a plant.
En fonctionnement, le caisson I est installé avec au moins une plante en pot 10 présente sur le support 21, éventuellement munie d'un tuteur, et tout ou partie des équipements mentionnés ci-dessus. Un système de commande extérieur, non représenté sur les figures annexées, au caisson et relié à ce dernier peut gérer de façon autonome l'ensemble des paramètres à l'intérieur du caisson, un utilisateur pouvant programmer ce moyen de commande pour définir les différentes piages d'utilisation du dispositif brumisateur, du dispositif d'éclairage et/ou du ventilateur. Cette gestion automatisée .1u caisson dispense un utilisateur de toute action, si ce n'est les actions habituelles de renouvellement de l'eau et éventuellement le nettoyage du caisson.In operation, the box I is installed with at least one potted plant 10 present on the support 21, possibly provided with a tutor, and all or part of the equipment mentioned above. An external control system, not shown in the accompanying figures, to the box and connected to the latter can autonomously manage all the parameters inside the box, a user can program this control means to define the different doors use of the misting device, the lighting device and / or the fan. This automated management .1u caisson exempts a user from any action, except the usual actions of water renewal and possibly the cleaning of the box.
Par ailleurs, le moyen de commande peut être couplé à une unité de mémorisation répertoriant les conditions d'environnement de plantes, végétaux, fruits etc en terme de taux d'humidité, d'exposition à la lumière et de température. Ainsi, un utilisateur dispose un type particulier de plantes dans le caisson 1 et définit grâce à l'unité de mémorisation les conditions optimums relatives à ce type de plantes pour les programmer dans le moyen de commande qui se charge de gérer automatiquement le dispositif brumisateur 9, le dispositif d'éclairage 20 et le ventilateur 30 en fonction des données qu'il reçoit de différents capteurs, hydrométrique, de température et de luminosité.Furthermore, the control means can be coupled to a storage unit listing the environmental conditions of plants, plants, fruits, etc. in terms of humidity, exposure to light and temperature. Thus, a user has a particular type of plant in the box 1 and defines, thanks to the storage unit, the optimum conditions relating to this type of plant for programming in the control means which is responsible for automatically managing the fogging device 9, the lighting device 20 and the fan 30 according to the data it receives from different sensors, hydrometric, temperature and brightness.
Bien entendu, chacun de ces éléments, le dispositif brumisateur 9, le dispositif d'éclairage 20 et le ventilateur 30 peuvent également être commandés de manière indépendante, sans être relié à une unité de commande. Dans ce cas, par exemple, l'opérateur programmera indépendamment le ventilateur 30, le dispositif de brumisation 9 et le dispositif d'éclairage 20 pour qu'ils fonctionnent pendant une durée déterminée, à partir d'une heure prédéfinie, éventuellement avec une intensité définie. Le dispositif brumisateur 9, le dispositif d'éclairage 20 et le ventilateur 30 pourront être reliés indépendamment o\ι collectivement à un minuteur déclenchant la mise en marche et l'arrêt de ces différents éléments, en fonction des besoins des végétaux présents dans le caisson 1.Of course, each of these elements, the misting device 9, the lighting device 20 and the fan 30 can also be controlled independently, without being connected to a control unit. In this case, for example, the operator will independently program the fan 30, the misting device 9 and the lighting device 20 to operate for a predetermined period of time, starting from a predefined time, possibly with an intensity defined. The misting device 9, the lighting device 20 and the fan 30 may be connected independently or collectively to a timer triggering the start and stop of these different elements, depending on the needs of the plants present in the box. 1.
Outre le capteur hydrométrique, le caisson 1 peut comprendre un capteur de température disposant, à l'instar du capteur hydrométrique, d'un système d' alerte. Ainsi, lorsque Ja température dépasse un certain seuil, Le dispositif d'éclairage pourra par exemple être mis en marche ou au contraire être arrêté automatiquement. On pourra également envisager que le caisson 1 est muni d'un système de climatisation permettant tantôt de chauffer l'intérieur du caisson 1 tantôt de le refroidir.In addition to the hydrometric sensor, the chamber 1 may include a temperature sensor having, like the hydrometric sensor, an alarm system. Thus, when the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, the lighting device may for example be started or on the contrary be stopped automatically. We can also consider that the box 1 is equipped with an air conditioning system for sometimes heating the interior of the box 1 sometimes cool.
L'alimentation électrique des différents éléments 7, 9, 20, 30 du caisson 1 peut être réalisée par des unités autonomes, telles que des piles ou des batteries, reliés au dispositif brumisateur 9, au ventilateur 30 et au dispositif d'éclairage 20 mais on pourra également prévoir que l'ensemble de ces éléments 9, 20, 30 soit relié à une prise électrique ou analogue.The power supply of the various elements 7, 9, 20, 30 of the box 1 can be achieved by autonomous units, such as batteries or batteries, connected to the misting device 9, to the fan 30 and to the lighting device 20 but we can also provide that all of these elements 9, 20, 30 is connected to an electrical outlet or the like.
Le couvercle 4 du caisson 1 pourra présenter une portion amovible 40, visible sur la figure 1, à laquelle est fixée le dispositif d'éclairage 20 et éventuellement le ventilateur 30. Cette portion amovible 40 pourra être ôtée du couvercle 4 par exemple pour remplacer la ou les lampe (3) du dispositif d'éclairage et/ou nettoyer le ventilateur, si ce dernier se trouve difficilement accessible à l'intérieur du caisson 1.The cover 4 of the box 1 may have a removable portion 40, visible in Figure 1, which is fixed the lighting device 20 and possibly the fan 30. This removable portion 40 can be removed from the cover 4 for example to replace the or the lamps (3) of the lighting device and / or cleaning the fan, if the latter is difficult to access inside the box 1.
Par ailleurs, le couvercle 4 présente ici au moins une fente ou rainure 50 permettant le coulissement d'au moins un pan 32 d'une cloison 5 du caisson 1. Ce pan 32 de eleison 5 latérale pourra ainsi être retiré par cette fente ou rainure 50 présente dans le couvercle 4. Au moins une partie substantielle des cloisons latérales 5 du caisson 1 sont, transparentes, par exemple en matière plastique, tandis que la base/socle 3 et le couvercle 4 du caisson 1 pourront éventuellement être opaque, par exemple en métal. Moreover, the cover 4 has here at least one slot or groove 50 allowing the sliding of at least one panel 32 of a partition 5 of the box 1. This pan 32 of eleison 5 side can be removed by this slot or groove 50 present in the cover 4. At least a substantial portion of the side walls 5 of the box 1 are transparent, for example plastic, while the base / base 3 and the lid 4 of the box 1 may optionally be opaque, for example made of metal.
