AUTONOMOUS, DAYTIME-WATERING PLANT IRRIGATION SYSTEM
A plant irrigation system for autonomous outdoor daytime-watering includes a rigid endothermic container having first and second ports in fluid communication with the container's interior volume. With the container on the ground, the first port is above the second port relative to the ground. An indicator coupled to the container identifies a fill level such that, when the container is on the ground, less than 50% of the container's interior volume lies below the fill level. A lid provides sealing engagement with the first port. An open-ended conduit has a first end and a second end. The first end is sealingly coupled to the second port, and the second end is adapted to be positioned near a plant. The conduit is configured to traverse a path such that a portion of the path is above the container's identified fill level when the container is on the ground.
APPARATUS, A SYSTEM, A METHOD AND A LIGHT CONTROL DEVICE FOR FACILITATING HYDROPONIC CULTIVATION
A hydroponic cultivation apparatus, a system and a method for facilitating hydroponic cultivation is disclosed. The hydroponic cultivation apparatus includes a reservoir, a plinth, a grow tray with a grow tray lid, and a docking with coupler. The reservoir, placed upon the plinth, is located at a higher position adjacent to the grow tray for optimizing liquid circulation from the reservoir to the grow tray and vice-versa using one or more pipes, a solenoid valve and a pump. The base further includes a dock coupled to the grow tray for providing an electrical connectivity to the grow tray and simultaneously allowing the liquid to flow through the grow tray without being leaked. Further, the apparatus is having a roof which is provided with sources of illumination for providing light required for plant growth.
SEEDING TRAY AND ACCESSORIES
A seedling cube for growing seedlings, the seedling cube comprising a seedling tray having a plurality of cells and a branching table surrounded by the cells, and a cube lid having a water storage tank, which is configured to be disposed on top of the seedling tray.
Vertical hydroponic system
An embodiment of the novel and inventive vertical hydroponic system comprises a double-sided system, each side having two sets of double-door tile panels. Each door is mounted on hinges attached at either the right or left sides of an external support frame with the doors opening out from the middle. Each door in this embodiment may support a 6×4 array of novel and inventive tiles, each tile arranged with two columns of 3 pot supports, each such tile capable of supporting 6 grow pots, for a total of 144 grow pots per door. In this embodiment all four doors can support up to 576 grow pots. However, an infinite number of tile variations are possible with the 2×3 array being just one. The doors can be opened during the growth cycle without disconnecting or interrupting the irrigation components which allows for fast and easy harvesting and maintenance. A submersible pump and its control electronics are mounted in the support framework so the system is self-contained. Scheduling software is provided via digital mobile app, which is downloadable from common app sources. The hydroponic system is interconnectible to the internet for remote maintenance and monitoring.
ECOLOGICAL REVETMENT FOR REGULATING WANDERING RIVERS
The invention belongs to ecological revetments in the technical field of river ecology, which particularly involves an ecological revetment to regulate wandering rivers. The ecological revetment is composed of porous concrete-piles, ecological connecting-plates, an ecological viewing-corridor and a slope green-belt. The ecological landscape-corridor and anchor rod are placed on the upper and middle parts of the pile structure, respectively. In virtue of the innovative structure, the ecological revetment will strengthen the revetment structure, reduce the revetment settlement, prevent the revetment from moving, and enhance the overall stability of the revetment project. The ecological holes exist on the ecological connecting-plates, which is beneficial to the exchange of material and energy from the river course and the bank slope, and the holes could greatly enhance the self-cleaning capacity of the water body. Not only do the plants on the ecological viewing-corridor provide the habitats for the organisms, but also green the revetment.
MODULAR CONTROL-TYPE PLANT CULTIVATION DEVICE
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a plant cultivation device, including: a body part configured such that a growth space in which a soil and plants are accommodated and to which a nutrient solution is supplied and an auxiliary space which is disposed under the growth space, into which air is introduced and through which a nutrient solution supplied to the soil is discharged are formed therein; a fertilization part disposed inside the body part and configured to supply a nutrient solution to the soil; and a separation part disposed between the growth space and the auxiliary space, configured to prevent the inflow of the soil into the auxiliary space, and provided with a plurality of openings having a smaller diameter; wherein the air introduced into the auxiliary space is introduced into the soil through the openings and promotes the growth of the plants.
Water Bowl Connectable to Drip Irrigation System and Emitter Therefor
A bowl is attached to a drip irrigation system at an emitter, so that the bowl can be filled with water in an automated fashion, using the control timer and solenoid valves of the existing irrigation system. The emitter has a stem and a head. The stem extends through a hole in the sidewall of the bowl so that the head rests against the sidewall of the bowl. Preferably the head is flush with the sidewall of the bowl and forms a water-tight seal with the sidewall of the bowl. Drip irrigation tubing is attached to the stem of the emitter and connected to the drip irrigation system. A through-hole runs through the emitter to permit water to flow from the drip irrigation tubing through the stem and head into the bowl. An in-line valve between the water source and the emitter improves control of the water through the emitter.
MEDIUM-FLOWABLE BODY AND GREENING SYSTEM WITH AT LEAST ONE SUCH A MEDIUM-FLOWABLE BODY
A body through which a medium can flow, in particular a body through which a fluid and/or gas can flow, with at least one exterior, wherein the body through which a medium can flow is self-supporting or includes at least one supporting body that provides mechanical stability, as well as a greenery system with at least one greenery element for installation on a surface, including at least one such body through which a medium can flow, in particular a body through which a fluid and/or gas can flow.
Stack Planter Reservoir
A stack planter reservoir retains a volume of water to be pumped through a hydroponic system. The stack planter reservoir includes a reservoir base, a lateral wall, a lid-receiving lip, and a planter-supporting lid. The reservoir base and the later wall define a storage volume for water. The lid-receiving lip is perimetrically connected to the lateral wall to receive the planter-supporting lid. The planter-supporting lid supports a single planter or a plurality of stacking planters. The planter-supporting lid includes a pump outlet to allow fluid transport from the storage volume to the planter or plurality of stacking planters.
