RU49420U1 - HOUSEHOLD PHYTOTRON - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to agricultural production, namely, means for growing plants on a hydroponic basis in protected ground. The household phytotron contains a translucent working chamber with vegetation trays installed in it, a container for nutrient solution and pipelines. To accommodate the vegetation trays, a hollow rack with an electric rotation drive is provided. There is a pallet equipped with a pipe and installed under the vegetation trays, mortar and pump, as well as a device for creating a rainbow. Using the proposed phytotron allows for uniform ventilation of plants, reduce the material consumption of the lighting system, and also activate the growth and development of plants through the use of a device to create a rainbow.

Description

The utility model relates to agricultural production, namely, means for growing plants on a hydroponic basis in protected ground.

Known plant for growing plants (AS USSR No. 865227, class A 01 31/00, 1980), containing a working chamber, the side and rear walls of which have a reflective coating, and in the upper part there is an air duct. Moreover, in the upper part of the chamber, radiation sources associated with the corresponding ballast equipment are also installed.

However, this installation is not effective enough due to the complexity of the design, the inability to effectively ventilate the volume of the working chamber, as well as the inability to effectively use the entire volume of the working chamber while automating the growing process.

The closest in technical essence to the claimed technical solution is an installation for growing plants (Galkin MA, Lipov Yu. RF Patent No. 2025944, 1995), containing a working chamber, the side and rear walls of which have a reflective coating, and in the upper part is made air duct hole. In the chamber, radiation sources connected to the corresponding ballast equipment are sectionally installed. The installation is equipped with a rack for trays installed in the rear of the chamber, and an air duct located in the vertical plane of symmetry of the chamber parallel to its side walls. In this case, the air circulation in the chamber is ensured by the pressure difference in the lower and upper parts of the duct, as well as additional, created by ballast equipment of the radiation sources.

However, this installation is not effective enough due to uneven ventilation of plants, high material consumption of the lighting system and the lack of devices to activate the growth and development of plants.

The aim of the invention is to increase the efficiency of the installation.

This is achieved by the fact that natural ventilation is provided in the working chamber; the walls of the chamber are translucent; vegetation trays are fixed on a hollow rack with an electric rotation drive, and a device for creating a rainbow is installed above the trays, which allows you to activate the growth and development of plants.

As a result of a search conducted in scientific, technical and patent literature, an identical technical solution was not found, which proves the technical solution meets the criterion of "novelty."

The proposed phytotron contains a working chamber 1 (Fig.), The walls of which are translucent. In the working chamber 1 is installed a hollow rack 2 having an electric drive of rotation. On the rack 2 are placed vegetation trays 3, for which there are latches and holes in the hollow rack (not shown). For irrigation, a container 4 for the nutrient solution, pipelines 5, a pan 6 with a nozzle 7, a mud pan 8 and a pump 9 are provided. In this case, the pan 6 has a hole in the center and is mounted on stands 10. Above the vegetation trays 3 there is a device 11 for creating a rainbow, consisting of from a lamp, lens and mirror (not shown). The ventilation is provided natural, that is, due to the flow of air through the open chamber doors or walls, which are hinged or removable.

Fitotron works as follows. Tanks with plants are installed on the vegetation trays 3. Stand 2 is driven into rotation by an electric drive. The pump 9 is turned on, and the nutrient solution from the tank 4 through the pipeline 5 and the hollow rack 2 goes to the vegetation trays 3, where it washes the roots of the plants. Next, the nutrient solution flows into the pan 6 and through the pipe 7 is discharged into the sump 8, from where using

pump 9 is fed into a tank 4 for a nutrient solution. Natural ventilation of the working chamber is carried out by opening the walls, while due to the rotation of the rack 2, a uniform air supply to the plants is ensured. Activation of the growth and development of plants is carried out using the device 11 for creating a rainbow, which is turned on in a special mode or works continuously (depending on the type and purpose of growing plants, etc.). Lighting of plants is carried out due to the light sources of domestic premises, as well as due to the device 11 for creating a rainbow. At the end of the growing period, the rack 2 electric drive, the pump 9 and the device for creating the rainbow 11 are turned off, after which the resulting biomass is harvested.

Using the proposed phytotron allows for uniform ventilation of plants, reduce the material consumption of the lighting system, and also activate the growth and development of plants through the use of a device to create a rainbow.
