APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATED CONTROL FOR A PERFORMANCE VEGETATION WALL SYSTEM
A vegetation wall system includes an irrigation tank, a vegetation mounting unit with a vegetation holding unit, a pump feeding water from the tank to the holding unit, a programmable logic control unit including a central processing unit and a sensor, wherein the central processing unit monitors an aspect in the wall system by measuring, by the sensor, a component of the aspect as a first component measurement, waiting a predetermined period of time and then measuring, by the sensor, the component of the aspect as a second component measurement, determining, by the central processing unit, a change in the aspect based on the first and second measurements and the predetermined period of time, determining whether the change is outside a threshold range, in response to determining that the change is outside the threshold range, determining that an anomalous condition exists, and generating an alert when the anomalous condition exists.
AUTOMATIC PLANT CULTIVATION DEVICE
The invention relates to the field of soil and ionitoponic (ionitoponics) automated cultivation of plants having various morphological structures and can be applied in everyday life. The technical result to be achieved by the invention is to ensure a balanced growth and development of plants without human intervention. The essence of the invention is that a plant cultivation device comprises a plant cultivation chamber and the following controller-operated modules: a lighting module, a ventilation module, a substrate humidity monitoring module, an irrigation module, a module for monitoring a water level in a reservoir, and a plant growth stage monitoring module. The device further comprises: a controller-operated plant cultivation module comprising a container and a substrate provided with all necessary micro—, macroelements and microorganisms to achieve the best plant growth; a substrate humidity monitoring module; and a means for differentiating air flows.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENT FOGPONIC AGRICULTURE
An integrated modular and scalable fogponics crop growth system for cultivating a crop includes an upper growth chamber housing a leafy portion of a crop, a lower growth chamber housing a root portion of the crop, a nutrient tank and dispenser, and an environmental system. The nutrient dispenser is coupled to the nutrient tank holding a nutrient mixture for sustaining the crop. The dispenser atomizes the nutrient mixture into a nutrient fog using a booster pump and a high pressure pump capable of generating approximately 800 PSI to 1500 PSI. The high pressure pump is operatively coupled to a nozzle configured to dispense the atomized nutrient fog, substantially between 6 microns and 15 microns droplet size, into the lower growth chamber. Temperature and humidity are separately controlled in the leaf area.
WATER RECYCLING TYPE GREENHOUSE
The present disclosure discloses a water recycling type greenhouse, including a greenhouse body; a water collection device is arranged in the greenhouse body; the water collection device is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet; a condensation portion and a reheating portion are arranged in the water collection device; and the water recycling type greenhouse further includes an energy supply system. Air in the greenhouse body can be poured into the water collection device from the air inlet, flow through the condensation portion and the reheating portion in sequence, and finally be discharged into the greenhouse body again from the air outlet. When the heated air is discharged into the greenhouse body again, a decrease of the temperature of the greenhouse is not likely to occur, and normal growth of plants is not easily affected.
MULTI-STAGE PLANT CULTIVATION SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF ENHANCING PLANT PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
A multi-stage plant cultivation system for and method of enhancing plant production efficiency is disclosed. For example, a multi-stage plant cultivation system and method may provide a vegetation module and multiple growing modules arranged sequentially and wherein the full growing life cycle of a plant may be perform within the modules. In one example, the multi-stage plant cultivation system and method may provide a vegetation module and multiple growing modules that may further include a plant transport system, one or more air handler systems, one or more lighting systems, one or more water delivery systems, one or more wastewater systems, and a controller.
OVERFLOW PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR A HYDRATION SYSTEM IN AN INDOOR GARDENING APPLIANCE
A gardening appliance includes a grow tower rotatably mounted within a liner and defining a root chamber. A mixing tank defines a water inlet, a nutrient inlet, and a mixture outlet. An overflow protection system is operably coupled to the mixing tank and includes a wastewater reservoir, an overflow port fluidly coupled to the mixing tank, an overflow conduit providing fluid communication between the overflow port and the wastewater reservoir, and a one-way overflow valve fluidly coupled to the overflow conduit to prevent liquid flow back into the mixing tank.
GROWING ENVIRONMENT CONTROL SYSTEM
A growing environment control system includes a house environment control device that controls a surrounding environment of plants under cultivation in an agricultural house, and a parameter management device that creates and provides template parameter information including environment parameter information used by the house environment control device and pertaining to control of the surrounding environment, and identification information pertaining to content or an attribute of the environment parameter information and used for identifying the environment parameter information.
SCALABLE AND RE-CONFIGURABLE SYSTEM FOR INDOOR GROWING
The present invention is a scalable and re-configurable system for indoor growing. The scalable and re-configurable system for indoor growing is comprised of a plurality of growing sleds, in which each growing sled has a plurality of plant stations. Plants are grown in receptacles on each plant station. The plant station is rotated by a drive system. Each plant station provides irrigation. Each plant station has a forced frame connected to the top of a plant support assembly. A forced frame is used to confine each plant to a known foot-print. This is necessary in indoor growing in order to make the production uniform and efficient.
