The innovation refers to an advantageous technology in agricultural, mechanical engineering, plant section in entire engine of electrical elements.

Description or the related art including information disclosed. examples of such assemblies are disclosed in the following:

Agricultural production system with temperature controlled root zone - US8881454 :

An agricultural production system consists of a number of plant units which form a canal complex through parts of the units. Each plant unit has an upper portion that supports a plant in a growing medium, and a lower residential portion defining a cavity of the compartment below the upper unit, so that the plant roots will expand into the compartment. Water networking includes a number of irrigation units, each connected with a plant area and delivered water to the plant's site from the water source.

The system is networked and is a networked environment for plant growth, and only one type of cultivation is conducted, while the domestic culture machine is capable of geoponics, hydroponics, and aeroponics, and is equipped with an ultraviolet disinfectant system and water recycling system.

Low pressure aeroponic growing apparatus - US 6807770 :

An aeroponic growing machine has been introduced, which includes a low-pressure liquid-nutrient delivery system produced by centrifugal force using a rotary cylinder device. The rotary cylinder device distributes liquid nutrient solution to the plant's roots using centrifugal force, thus it eliminates the need for a high pressure pump and nozzles. The geometric shape of the enclosed root growth area is such that it allows broken droplets to be randomly spread in various directions completely around the root of the plant at 360 degrees.

This aeroponics machine is at a low pressure, while my machine is a device for three types of cultures that can be used to culture any species of plant with any kind of culture.

Method and apparatus for automated agriculture and agriculture- US9854750 :

A method and system for continuous plant growth automatically is using production lines each containing a number of growth sectors, each growing sector includes different levels of horizontal transportation, a source of light and liquid nutrient for every level of each part, and the plant trays that move horizontally. So that each part after the growth is longer than the previous one to receive more growth trays from the previous part. As the number of plants in the tray are decreased or increased due to growth of plant species, but the number of plants in the growth sector stays constant. Therefore, a group of plants is broken down into more trays, so that they grow from germination to harvest through growing parts, with the ability to simultaneously start the growth cycle for additional products.

The above initiative is a plant production line in which there are several rows of plant culture, and only geoponics is carried out, while the machine provides three types of cultures, saves water according to the closed water circuit, and sterilizes the environment with UV.

Orbital hydroponic or aeroponic agricultural unit - USAPP 20050011119 :

It is a hydroponic/aeroponic agricultural unit that requires the closure of plants in a highly saturated environment and is further irrigated by sprinkler irrigation. The invention also has the ability to be changed from small housing to large housing by modifying the diameter of a drum, so that a small drum can act as a kindergarten for the seedlings. When the seedlings become plants, a larger drum is made. A number of boards that form the drum can be placed near the bulb when they are smaller and far from larger. A simple but reliable system allows the drum rotation.

In this initiative, plant is cultivated in a small diameter drum and transported to large drums after growth. As well as, there are two types of cultures in it. Considering the findings in this regard, the machine occupies little space over other devices, these devices are only used for large centers or used only for a single purpose. The current initiative has a water saving system, as well as disinfection and sterilization, but none of the previous designs have such an advantage.

This summary is intended to provide an overview of the subject matter of the present disclosure, and is not intended to identify essential elements or key elements of the subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to determine the scope of the claimed implementations. The proper scope of the present disclosure may be ascertained from the claims set forth below in view of the detailed description below and the drawings.

In one general aspect, the present disclosure describes Domestic agricultural machinery with the ability to geoponics, hydroponics, and aeroponics, equipped with ultraviolet ray disinfectant system and recycling water system in the field of technical and human requirements, it is under Agriculture A01 sector and F-class Mechanical Engineering section F01 of Total Motor Plants and H-Electronic H01 of Elements Electric BASIC that in the agricultural industry, there is no complete agricultural machinery that can work in the residential unit and be appropriate for this place. Some problems in this area are the inability to create a culture bed in new and traditional methods together in a residential environment, the inability of safe, effective and inexpensive disinfection, the water shortage in agriculture, heavy investment for the construction of a greenhouse or production unit. In this regard, a domestic agriculture machine allows three culture methods, such as geoponics, hydroponics, and aeroponics with the use of innovative equipment and techniques and increases the yield. In this design, ultraviolet radiation and ozone gas are also sterilized and safe for culture media. To save water, the machine also creates a closed water cycle in the system, so that 98% of the water consumed is entirely spent on production and there is no waste water. It can be used in the agricultural industry to increase productions and reduce water use in the agricultural sector. Using this machine individually is also effective, but it is better to use this machine in the agricultural industry as a network to formulate the process of production and sale purposefully.

In today's societies, the need for water and food is felt so much given the increase in population growth. Hence, the agricultural industry is one of the most respected industries. One of the technical problems in this industry is the lack of quality and quantity of produced crops, as well as waste of water resources, which has led to a crisis of shortage of water resources and disturbs the industry. Also, the application of toxins and pesticides has caused environmental pollution that changes the ecosystem and the life of other organisms.

Applying modern agricultural practices, such as all types of non-soil culture methods and greenhouse use, can mostly increase the speed and yield of production and, to a certain extent, cover crop-specific needs. But launching these methods in greenhouses and production units requires a lot of investment, which made us to ignore the use of these methods in the agricultural industry. Also, with population growth in a community, the demand for jobs and income is one of the inevitable needs, and the lack of job opportunities is detrimental to the economy of that community. This causes many socio-economic abnormalities and pressurize governments to create job opportunities. In the agricultural industry, there is no complete agricultural machinery that can work in the residential unit and be appropriate for this place. There is also no culture bed in the modern and traditional practices in the residential environment altogether. The water shortage, agricultural crops and the huge cost of greenhouse construction are among the problems in this area. By thinking and wondering about these problems in the agricultural industry and the social economy, this machine solves all of the above problems, so that by using the innovated equipment and techniques, it has the ability to culture in all three methods of geoponics, hydroponics and aeroponics, which this increases the production efficiency and thus the profitability of the machine. This machine also utilizes and incorporates scientific and practical techniques of UV and ozone gas production, and keeps the media close for effective, inexpensive and safe sterilization without any release to the environment.

In today's communities, the need for water and food is felt with increasing population growth. Hence, the agricultural industry is one of the most respected industries to this importance. One of the technical problems in this industry is the qualitative and quantitative deficiency of produced crops, as well as waste of water resources, which has led to a crisis of shortage of water resources and disturbs this industry. Also, the application of toxins and pesticides has caused environmental pollution that changes the ecosystem and the life of other organisms. Thus, the inventor decided to create a machine which has all the objectives mentioned to meet the needs and remove technical problems expressed in the field of agricultural industry by the help of technical knowledge and the use of scientific techniques. The above mentioned machine has several main parts:

Body: It includes 6 lightweight panels and humidity, temperature, UV and air insulation, 5 of which are permanently connected to each other and the 6^th part is attached as a door with magnetic tapes. Some parameters such as light weight, insulation against temperature, humidity, UV and air should be considered in choosing the material of the body. In this respect, a combination of an intermediate layer of high-density expanded polyestyrene and two layers of PVC sheet was used in the construction of body. Also, PVC ducts were used as a frame for each panel. The body dimensions used in this machine are 175-83-95. These dimensions can be changed in the basis of the user's order before construction. Typically, the standard dimensions of residential building doors are 90 x 200 cm.

Metal skeleton and shelves: This section is designed by galvanized corners in a way that the number of its floors can be added depending on the type of culture method and crop. It also is responsible for the weight tolerance and stability of the machine, which has two sections of the interior equipment floor and the cultivating floors.

The floor of the interior equipment is located on the upper floor of the metal skeleton, in which some of the equipment, such as the UV generator, fluid transfer system (drip irrigation and hydroponics), misting system, and electrical connections are placed. The culture compartment is designed in the lower decks of the metal skeleton section for culture, which the number of its decks can be changed by the number and height based on the type of culture and crop.

Air-handler unit: This section includes fogging and sucking fans and air-passage with a cooling-heating system and a fresh air conditioner which this section is located on the roof panel and comes through two pipes from the roof to the body and it is connected to the interior and air passageways. The door part of the air handler is sticking to the body by the magnet strips.

Its fluid transfer method is utilized by gravity and closing and opening flow through it are manually carried out by the valve connected to it.

Manual container moisturizing Hub: This hub causes a uniform distribution of fluid to the interface hoses between the floors on the left side of shelves. On the one side, it is connected to the container valve and on the other side it is connected to the interface hoses between floors on the left side of shelves. The hub and hoses must be placed below the liquid level of the container in order to transfer of fluids by gravity.

Descriptions of the automatic container:

This container is designed in such a way that all its components together can perform the following tasks in accordance with any type of crop:

Automatic container tasks:

Drip irrigation with the help of all the specific components and process control system (Farmer)

Environmental humidity generation with the help of all the specific components and process control system (Farmer)

Discharge prevention: Mechanical turn-on and turn-off of the inlet water from the outside of the machine in order to fill the water supply sufficiently with the help of all the components in particular.

Initiative and description of the components of the automatic container:

It has a fan located on the lid of the automatic container and has the function of suction air from outside to inside the container. It has a small funnel for manually transferring fluids to fill the source.

The mechanical valve connected to the submersible pump, which is connected on the one hand to the urban water hose, and on the other hand to the body of container, and it has a function of controlling the reservoir water level in geotropic culture method.

An electrical-mechanical switch which is connected to submersible pump. This switch is connected to the body of container on one side and electrical connector on the other side that comes from the timer module relay, and is connected to the feed wire of the piece. And it is responsible to cut power to prevent the burning of the piece when the liquid level is too low. Also, it is responsible to reactivate the piece if the liquid level rises due to the manual entry of the liquid from the piece or the automatic entry of the piece, and the remaining time in the corresponding timer module.

The electrical connection connector which is connected to the fan and parts of the steam generator (ultrasonic) on one side and to the power cable supplied by the humidity control module on the other side. The water pump is responsible for thrusting liquids from the container to the hub.

The liquid in the container, according to the type of crop, can be water, liquid fertilizer, soluble dietary supplement, hydroponic fluid and aeroponic fluid.

The coolant vaporizer is an ultra-sonic electronics component that, by ultrasound vibrations, causes the separation of liquid molecules in container and produces cold steam. Steam outlet cavities result from ultrasonic activity. There is a hole in the container lid below the fan location to enter air. Inlet of the effluent pipe is connected to the hose.

Artificial Lighting System:

SMD artificial light generation is used for most crops to provide the light needed for growth for each floor and adjustable in terms of time and mediate intensity of light (modules and volumes). Artificial light for plant growth does not have harmful wavelengths of the sun and is known as clean energy. Simply, it simulates the required wavelength of photosynthesis.

The location of mounting of these generators is below the superstructure floor, where the productive light produces the surface of crop. This position is the best point in terms of light exposure uniformly on the floor surface. Also, it can be moveable in the entire environment due to the connection with the bolts and nuts to the floor. The body of the generator is designed in such a way that it has the ability to rotate vertically and horizontally. It is therefore adjustable.

Fluid recycling system:

This system is designed for optimal use of water and fluids in the machine. The addition of irrigation water or other fluids and vapors from ultrasonic activities that form dew due to collision with surfaces is collected on the bottom of the machine in a container; and as fluid levels rise in this container, the switch connected to Submersible pump is turned on and fluids are transported through the pipe to the automated container for sterilization by the UV generator and reuse. The wire contains the power required by the pump, which comes from the power hub.

Air Blower and Suction Tube:

Blower and sucker tubes are designed for uniform air flow in the entire interior medium of the machine, so that air flows all parts equally. These pipes are placed vertically in the middle of the left and right walls of the machine. On the pipes, blower and sucker openings for air passage are placed in a way that covers a 180º angle, and allows air flow to circle 180° horizontally. The beginning of blower tube is connected to the input trunk-like tube and the beginning of sucker pipe is connected to the output trunk-like tube. The ends of both pipes are blocked.

Fluid transfer system to floors:

Due to the versatility of the machine for a variety of cultures with a two-vessel design for transferring fluids to the culture surface of two categories of hose connectors, an automatic liquid carrier is used which is connected to the automatic container and manual fluid carrier that is attached to the container. The end of hose is connected to the hub. These hubs produce a uniform distribution of fluid to porous hoses. Thin pores of these hoses act like drip irrigation hoses. Both with pressure and without pressure (adsorption due to gravity pressure and osmotic absorption) transfer fluid to the culture surface. The end of hoses have been blocked to prevent the flowing fluid being integrated and fed back in hose to the reservoir. Hoses and hubs form a single piece that is fitted to a place. This piece can be placed below, in the middle and on the surface of the soil and perform its tasks. The end of pipe collects effluent. For the invention, there are four floors of culture that these floors and requirements are being able to increase or decrease. All hose material is flexible PVC.

Floors: floors are divided into two groups of interior equipment and culture floors. The floor's bottom of the interior equipment is covered with a galvanized sheet to support the weight of the equipment and the separation of this floor from other floors. The culture floors are suitable for any kind of culture method, which is capable of maintaining the culture bed. The design of the floors is of a kind that has the ability to connect at any height on the metal structure (by bolts and nuts), as well as by the cross-link metal bar and the metal frame used in the floors to restrain the weight of culture surface and each floor can withstand more than 70 kg live load.

A mesh is placed on the floor bottom that provides the floor surface for placement of culture bed. For example, by spreading a plastic layer on the floor tray, the user will be able for geoponics on the floors, or by a bed pan and inserting the unit components into the pan and placing the pan on the floor, user will be able for the hydroponics. It is also possible to perform aeroponics by placing the culture medium in the mesh netting on the floors of this type of culture.

The explanations given in this section are practical in order to use of floors for this type of cultures.

Control panel:

The control panel is a box located in front of the air handler and above the body of the machine. Control and equipment powering are the responsibility of this section. User can control the growth and propagation conditions by entering the desired values in the microprocessor's memory.

Process control artificial intelligence (Farmer):

Process control artificial intelligence consists of a combination of processor functions and temperature and moisture control relays, timers, control panel plus mechanical components, including electrical submersible pumps and electrical switches and mechanical valve, each of which has an automatic reaction to environmental changes in the direction of system sustainability. In other words, process control on this machine is a kind of artificial intelligence that automatically responds to improve changes in "disruptive system stability" parameters. These functions are as follows:

Temperature control kits: These kits get the received temperature data from the relevant sensor inside the machine and, if changed to outside of the specified range, cooler and heater switches on or off.

Moisture control kit: This kit receives the moisture data from the relevant sensor inside of the machine and, if changed to outside of the specified range, the steaming device switches on or off.

Damper timer kit: It controls the replacement of old air with fresh air by dampers and damper fan at a specified time interval.

Light timer kit: This kit controls lighting for the growth of the plant by artificial light generator at a specified time interval.

Moisturizing timer kit: This moisturizing control kit (hydroponic water or fluid) is applied to the culture area at user defined intervals.

Submersible pump + Mechanical valve: When water is transferred to an automatic tank, the submersible pump sufficiently detects a rise in water level and closes the mechanical valve.

Submersible pump + Electric switch + Moisturizing timer kit: Submersible pump cut electric circuit of fluid pump by switch if the fluid level falls down inside the automatic container to prevent the pump from burning. Also, the submersible pump will restart the pump's electrical circuit by the switch to continue the moisturizing operation if the moisturizing timer is activated and the fluid level rises, either by a mechanical submersible pump or manually by a funnel.

Internal switch and submersible pump of vaporizers: It cuts off electric circuit in addition to control the vaporizers by the humidity kit if the fluid level of submersible pump's automatic tank and vaporizer's internal switch are lowered, and reestablishes the circuit and forces the vaporizer if the fluid level rises again.

Submersible pump and Switch: Submersible pump established in effluent collector container activates the electrical circuit of the discharge pump by the inboard submersible pump (905) if the fluid level rises to prevent the release of effluent to outside of the machine and the internal/external environmental contamination of the machine.

Sensor box: This box is located inside the skeleton in between floors and suspended in the air. There are four sensors in the box with the specifications of the table below.

Sensor type	Related to	Established status	Translocation ability
Temperature	Cooler Control Kit	Movable (sensor box/culture area)	Air-Soil
Temperature	Heater Control Kit	Movable (sensor box/culture area)	Air-Soil

13-Considering the standards of Jowent's loads in residential structures, by carrying out accurate calculations and proper design, the weight of the machine and the contents of the crop is such that it does not pose a risk to the residential structure and is suitable for fitting in these types of structures.

The production of this machine can also be manufactured industrially using the production line and industrial body molds by using materials that are proportional to a high speed and can also be described as semi-industrial in the workshop environment as described in the description.

This machine has the ability to culture all variety of crops in the way of Geoponics, Hydroponics, and Aeroponics. Therefore, choosing the best culture method depends on economic criterion, demand or time of the user .
