Description

The invention relates to agriculture, namely to growing plants in devices.

Known methods and devices for growing plants without land on vertical surfaces or devices (FR 2747263 A1, 1997; RU 94000713 A1, 1995; EP 0533939 A1, 1993; SU 1780652 A1, 1992; SU 1428311 A1, 1988), and the principle is also known the use of aerosol to affect the root system of a plant (RF patent No. 2050123, A01G31 / 02, 1995; RF patent 2128905, A01G 31/00, 1999).

A device is known according to the patent of Russia RU 2163755, A01G 31/02, 03/10/2001, which contains a system for supplying plants with water and nutrients, modular elements for installing, caring for crops and updating plants, a vertical wall with vertically located and rigidly connected between hollow tubes with holes for attaching modular elements and for the flow of water and nutrients to plants in the modules. Each modular element has an inlet and an outlet tube facilitating the inflow and outflow of water and nutrients to plants whose root system is inside a non-decaying porous substrate inside the module.

Thus, many devices and structures are known, such as: a pyramid; vertical culture in containers of various diameters; in horizontal containers on gutters, beds, vertically folded tires, as well as in pots. There is success everywhere, but all of these methods have significant drawbacks, such as laboriousness and ergonomics, material consumption, and most importantly, it has specific drawbacks in ensuring uniform humidity and aeration of the root porous substrate, the common drawback of these methods is laboriousness, loss of freshness of perception.

The main disadvantage is the uneven distribution of moisture and the inability to aerate the root layer along the vertical of the container due to a change (increase) in soil pressure along the height.

The closest analogue of the claimed device is the device disclosed in the application GB 2480610, A01G 09/02, 11/30/2011, which is a vertical support connected to the console around which a flexible pipe is arranged in a spiral, in which plants for growing are placed. A flexible plastic pipe wrapped in burlap is mounted on it in such a way as to raise the specified pipe above the ground. In this case, the flexible pipe is supported by a plurality of horizontal power supports, which are fixed on the center console. Moreover, the flexible pipe is located in a spiral or helix, in particular, in a double spiral along the center console.

The disadvantage is, in fact, the use of the pipe as a root system, it is necessary to drill many holes in the pipe for planting.

The proposed scheme provides the ability to grow only seasonal plants, which is not suitable for all plants, for example, such as strawberries.

The main disadvantage of the invention is the inability to remove the spiral pipe with plants for the winter under snow or in the cellar. The absence of rotation around the axis does not create the convenience of caring for plants from one place, which leads to the need to move in a circle during maintenance, and this takes up additional area and creates shading of plants and one-sided lighting.

The objective and technical result of the claimed device is the versatility of its use, the expansion of functionality, since the claimed design allows you to expand the growing area up to the first light zone due to the angle of illumination of the containers and the ability to rotate around a vertical axis. In addition, the device allows the user to grow with high efficiency a variety of crops with a root system volume of not more than 2.5 liters, achieve efficient use of the area up to 0.97 dm ² / bush, reduce labor costs by several times, and make the work ergonomic and fun.

The technical result and the purpose of the device are realized due to the fact that containers with a length of 10 cm to 150 cm are located in lodgements, which are located around the circumference of the console in the form of a falling spiral with a varying diameter at an angle to the vertical axis. Such a design provides not only high ergonomic indicators arising from the essence of the proposal: not only the maximum efficiency of the growing process, not only the possibility of using containers of arbitrary length and shape, but also the ability to use substrates filled with natural fillers using prolonged fertilizers. The location of the container discretely in open lodges provides easy removal of containers for the winter. The slope provides an optimal drainage regime and relieves ground loads, uniform aeration and moistening of the root habitat. The use of this device makes labor accessible for people with disabilities, hypertensive patients, interesting for children and aesthetes.

The problem is solved in that the proposed device for growing plants, including a vertical support connected to the console, around which there is a spiral spiral tape mounted on the console by means of crosses, characterized in that the vertical support is connected to the console with the possibility of rotation, while free a metal tape is fixed to the ends of the spider rod, forming spiral coils from top to bottom to the bottom of the console from top to bottom, while the metal tape extends to the console in height turn with horizontal fiberglass rods, bolts are fixed on a spiral metal tape, having holes for fastening fiberglass reinforcement, which together form a lodgement, repeating the turn of the tape and the shape of the crossbar, while only the upper turn of lodgements made of fiberglass is secured with a cross, the remaining turns of lodgements fixed to the console using spacers. Depending on the length of the spacers, the lodgement can be made of various shapes - a cone, barrel, cylinder with different density of turns, the number of turns and the height, which is determined only by the height of the console.

A device for growing plants includes a vertical articulated support 1 deepened into the ground, FIG. 1, holding the rotating vertical console 2, FIG. 1, with a rigidly fixed crosspiece 3, FIG. 1, on the upper end of the console. Around the cantilever from the free ends of the crosspiece, spiral metal strips 4 are arranged in a spiral from top to bottom in a vertical plane; 1, 2, which are rigidly fixed only to the ends of the cross. In this case, the metal spiral tape 4, with light horizontal struts 5, FIG. 1, it is fixed in height to the console, creating a circle of the turn and forming the desired shape - a cone, barrel, cylinder. On said spiral metal strip, "C" -shaped crossbars 6 are fixed, FIG. 1, 2, having holes for clamps for attaching fiberglass rods 7, FIG. 2. The rods 7 from the upper crossbar parallel to the spiral tape are sequentially fixed in several rows, descending in a spiral down. Assembled, they form a rigid tool tray 8, FIG. 1, repeating the shape of the tape and at the same time the shape of the crossbar. Fastening to the upper part of the crosspiece ensures the work of the rods and tool tray as a whole in tension, creating a strong and lightweight durable spatial design. The absence of the need for a lower fastening of the lodgement at the bottom of the structure allows you to create the required height and number of turns on demand. Light spacers do not obscure plants. A plastic pipe 9 is fixed along the tape 4, FIG. 1, in which droppers 10 are installed, FIG. 2, with microtubes 11, FIG. 2, for supplying water to containers 12, FIG. 2.
