SYSTEM FOR THE VEGETABLE GARDEN AND NURSERY CULTIVATION OF PLANTS
A system for vegetable garden and nursery cultivation of plants is described that includes a cabinet comprising a plurality of shelves on which to cultivate plants. The shelves are being positioned one on top of the other along a vertical axis, so as to identify a space interposed between the upper face of a shelf and the lower face of the overlying shelf. The space is adapted to cultivate the plants. Further, means for generating a light source, means for delivering a liquid, and means for suction/supply of a forced air flow are provided. Further, means for moving the shelves along the vertical axis are included, there being a control unit configured to control operation of the means for moving, the means for generating the light source, the means for delivering the liquid, and the means for suction/supply.
Flowerpot made of waste tires and preparing method thereof
A flowerpot made of waste tires, includes: a suspended tire, a circular bottom plate, a hose clamp, a fixed disk and a supporting tube; wherein the fixed disk is fixed on a ground, the supporting tube is set up from a center of the fixed disk, the circular bottom plate has through holes for matching with the supporting tube; the suspended tire, the circular bottom plate and the hose clamp pass through the supporting tube, and the hose clamp tightly clamps a top portion of the supporting tube on the circular plate without any slip; the suspended tire is provided above the circular plate; the suspended tire, the circular bottom plate and the hose clamp form a flowerpot body structure suspended on the supporting tube; the suspended tire is filled with soil for planting plants.
METHOD OF OPERATING A CAMERA ASSEMBLY IN AN INDOOR GARDENING APPLIANCE
A gardening appliance includes a grow tower rotatably mounted within a liner and having a plurality of apertures for receiving one or more plant pods. A controller is operably coupled to a drive motor and a camera assembly and is configured to operate the drive motor to rotate the grow tower while obtaining a series of images. The controller is further configured to analyze the series of images using a machine learning image recognition process to identify a target image of the series of images that corresponds to an image having the best image quality or clarity.
Stackable Modular Planter
A stackable modular planter includes an open top plant box with a base and four side walls adapted to receive a growing medium and plants. The open top plant box has a first width. An irrigation box below the open top plant box base has a second width larger than the first width. The irrigation box can be filled with irrigation fluid. An open top hopper on one side of the open top plant box on top of the irrigation box can receive irrigation fluid which drains into the irrigation box. An overflow drain aperture in the irrigation box lets excess irrigation fluid flow. When a plurality of the stackable modular planters are stacked above another planter, excess irrigation can flow from the overflow aperture into the hopper of the planter below.
A MULTI-STACKING DECORATIVE FLOWERPOT UNIT
The multi-stacking decorative flowerpot unit (1) comprising: a pole (2) extending vertically, a plurality of flowerpots (3) having a through hole (3a), which is formed in a bottom part of the flowerpot (3) in order to pass the pole (2) though the flowerpot (3), and a spacer (4) having a cylindrical shape and being placed between adjacent upper and lower flowerpots (3). And the pole (2), the flowerpot (3), and the spacer (4) are united by passing the through hole (3a) and the spacer (4) through the pole (2). This configuration makes it possible for many plants to be placed in a small space such as a room. And work efficiency and workability are improved, and the flexibility of its design and the quality of its display are enhanced by this invention.
CULTIVATION ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD
The invention relates to a cultivation arrangement. A first and a second rack are arranged adjacent and aligned with each other, providing a working space therebetween. Each rack comprises support structures arranged at support heights for supporting cultivation packages at a plurality of heights. The support heights are aligned with each other. The support structures comprises one or more guiding members and the arrangement comprises moving means arranged for moving packages from the first to the second rack or back, via the working space. Cultivation packages can be supported such that at most a single package is supported at each of the aligned support heights. This enables the packages to be alternatingly supported in either the first or the second rack across the support heights. The arrangement further includes an operator platform contiguous to the working space which is moveable in a vertical direction to enable working at different heights.
AUTOMATED VERTICAL PLANT CULTIVATION SYSTEM
An automated outdoor modular vertical plant cultivation system forming a vertical structure is provided. The system includes a plurality of shelves, each shelf having a web and flanges; two posts, each post having a web and flanges. Each shelf of the plurality of shelves is mounted between the two posts with incremental spacing between each adjacent shelf along a vertical length of the two posts. The web of each shelf includes a plurality of openings for retaining planter vessels. The flanges of each shelf retain an embedded structural member. The system includes a fluid circulatory system including shelf irrigation piping extending longitudinally above the web of each shelf; and power or power and data and fluid members for the system distributed from vertical risers located in proximity to the web of the posts, wherein the flanges of the shelves have provisions to retain the fluid circulatory system.
Indoor garden center with a resilient sealing element
An indoor gardening appliance includes a liner defining a grow chamber and a grow module rotatably mounted within the grow chamber for receiving a plurality of plant pods, the grow module defining a plurality of grow chambers spaced apart along the circumferential direction. One or more resilient sealing elements, e.g., formed from silicone, are positioned at the distal ends of the grow module to seal a gap between the grow module and the liner. The resilient sealing elements define one or more air ducts for providing a flow of air through the resilient sealing element into one of the plurality of chambers and a flow regulating device for regulating the flow of air.
AIR TREATMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM
A living wall system or method involving a plurality of living wall modules. Each living wall module has a module body enclosing a module plenum, the module body having a growth media port and at least one duct port in fluid communication with the growth media port via the module plenum. The plurality of module plenums are interconnected through the plurality of duct ports to form a recirculation plenum. At least one directional blower is received within the recirculation plenum, the at least one directional blower between at least one upstream living wall module and at least one downstream living wall module to direct fluid flow from the at least one upstream living wall module to the at least one downstream living wall module.
MULTI-PLANE CONFIGURABLE GROW SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT AGRICULTURE
A controlled environment agriculture system maximizes high quality yield, plant or organism density, and life cycle productivity. A combined structure contains automated conveyance and more than two vertically stacked planes of horizontal track that plants traverse throughout their life cycle. Nutritional support, controlled lighting, controlled climate and air flow are managed at each plane and coordinated across all planes as a system for optimized life cycle productivity. Plant or organism growth carriers are conveyed and connected to multiple planes with controlled elevators that enable continuous movement of plants throughout their lifecycle from seedling to harvest in a serpentine, carousel, or straight path configuration. Plants enjoy a variety of controlled environmental conditions including lighting, airflow, CO2, temperature and humidity configured to their organism type and optimized by life cycle stage. The ongoing movement provides an optimal environment for robust plant growth, eliminates the opportunity for pests to settle and lay eggs, and enables the ability to course correct organisms to higher yields.
