Description
CULTIVATION RECEPTACLE COMPRISING A WATER DISTRIBUTOR
The present invention relates to a cultivation receptacle for accommodating a plant or crop in a greenhouse and a corresponding system and a method for cultivating a plant using such a cultivation receptacle.
In the field of horticulture, techniques for cultivating plants can generally be divided into substrate based and non-substrate-based techniques. For substrate-based techniques. a substrate (e.g. soil or rockwool) is provided to facilitate root growth. This substrate is periodically watered to provide the plants growing in the substrate with water and nutrients (fertiliser) that is dissolved in said water. In contrast, non-substrate-based techniques involve suspending the root system of the plant directly in nutrient-rich water, which may be supplied either in liquid form (hydroponics) or in the form of a periodically released mist (acroponics).
Regardless of which technique is used, in practice a large amount of wastewater is generated that the plants failed to absorb. This wastewater generally contains leftover nutrients that are essentially wasted and moreover make the wastewater unsuitable for being disposed of directly for environmental reasons. Moreover, this wastewater may also contain disease producing pathogens that can spread to other plants in the greenhouse, which prohibits this wastewater from being used to water these other plants. For these reasons, this wastewater from the cultivation receptacles must be treated before it can safely be disposed of, which requires resources in the forms of energy and/or chemical agents.
A further downside of known cultivation receptacles and cultivation systems is that they generally provide few or sub-optimal opportunities measuring (a concentration of) nutrients or fertiliser. While it is certainly possible to measure the concentration of nutrients that is supplied to the plants in the cultivation receptacles. it is generally difficult if not impossible to deduce from these measurements the amount of nutrients that is absorbed by the plants.
The objective of the present invention is to provide a cultivation receptacle with which at least some or more of the hereabove disadvantages or further disadvantages of known cultivation receptacles are obviated or abated.
This objective is achieved with a cultivation receptacle according to the present invention, comprising a bottom, one or more than one sidewall, and a cover that together define an accommodation that is configured to receive at least one plant having water roots and air roots, a water distributor arranged in the accommodation that is configured to support and water the water roots of a plant, and an air root growth space arranged in the accommodation between the water distributor and the cover. 33 With the hereabove cultivation receptacle according to the present invention, water supplied to the one or more plants arranged in (an accommodation of) the cultivation receptacle is distributed over an enlarged surface area in a filmlike or moist layer, so that it may be easily absorbed by said plants. As such, the amount of water supplied to the plants may be kept to an advantageous minimum, with little or no wastewater being generated.
In a preferred embodiment of the cultivation receptacle according to the present invention, the water distributor is a rigid structure comprising one or more than one channel configured to distribute the water over a top surface of the water distributor.
In these preferred embodiments, such a rigid structure allows the water to be substantially evenly distributed, contrary to water retaining structures comprising €.g. a sponge or the like that tend to retain water at a relatively fixed location.
In a further preferred embodiment of the cultivation receptacle according to the present invention, one or more than one channel forms a maze or labyrinth like structure on the top surface of water distributor.
The maze or labyrinth like structure ensures that the water is distributed over substantially the entire top surface of the water distributor, so that it may be distributed to all the plants that are arranged within the accommodation of the cultivation receptacle.
In a further preferred embodiment of the cultivation receptacle according to the present invention, the cultivation receptacles comprises at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to obtain a nutrition value from a group of nutrition values, said group comprising at least a nutrition concentration, an acidity, a temperature, an oxygen content and an electric conductivity of water present on the water distributor, wherein the at least one sensor is connectable to a watering system configured to water the water distributor in dependency of the nutrition value obtained by the at least one sensor.
In a further preferred embodiment of the cultivation receptacle according to the present invention, the water distributor is arranged at a vertical offset relative to the bottom, and wherein a water reservoir is arranged between a level of the water distributor and the bottom.
In these embodiments, the water reservoir serves as an emergency backup water source for the plants in case water cannot be supplied to the water distributor of the cultivation receptacle, for example in case of a malfunction. Moreover, excess water that cannot be retained by the water distributor may be collected in this water reservoir. As such, the water reservoir preferably at least partially surrounds the water distributor in further preferred embodiments.
In a further preferred embodiment of the cultivation receptacle according to the present invention, the cultivation receptacle comprises at least one water level sensor configured to sense a water level in the water reservoir, wherein the water level sensor is connectable to a watering system for maintaining a desired water level within the water reservoir. 33 In a further preferred embodiment of the cultivation receptacle according to the present invention, the cultivation receptacle comprises at least one further sensor, wherein the at least one further sensor is configured to obtain one further nutrition value from a group of nutrition values, said group comprising at least nutrition concentration, an acidity. a temperature, an oxygen content and an electric conductivity of water present in the water reservoir. wherein the at least one further sensor is connectable to a watering system configured to water the water distributor in dependency of the nutrition value obtained by the at least one sensor.
In a further preferred embodiment of the cultivation receptacle according to the present invention, the cultivation receptacle further comprises a water sensor configured to detect water on the water distributor, wherein the water sensor is configured to be connectable to a watering system configured to water the water distributor.
In the above embodiments of the cultivation receptacle comprising at least one of the hereabove described sensors, water may be supplied to at least the water distributor of the cultivation receptacle in dependency of a value obtained by one or more of the aforementioned sensors.
The above objective is moreover achieved with a cultivation system in accordance with the present invention, comprising at least one cultivation receptacle according to any one of the foregoing claims, and a watering system configured to water a water distributor of the at least one cultivation receptacle.
In a preferred embodiment of the cultivation system according to the present invention, the watering system is configured to water the water distributor of the at least one cultivation receptacle in dependency of a sensor value obtained from one or more than one of: a water sensor configured to detect water on the water distributor, a sensor configured to obtain a nutrition value of water present on the water distributor, a further sensor configured to obtain a nutrition value of water present in a water reservoir of the at least one cultivation receptacle, and a water level configured to sense a water level of water in a water reservoir of the at least one cultivation receptacle.
Lastly, the above objective is moreover achieved with a method for cultivating a plant, comprising arranging at least one of a plant, seed and seedling in an accommodation of a cultivation receptacle according to any one of the hereabove embodiments, and watering a water distributor of the cultivation receptacle, wherein the moisture is arranged in the accommodation and is configured to support and water the water roots of a plant.
The present invention will be elucidated here below with reference to the drawing. in which:
Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a plant receptacle according to the present invention;
Fig. 2 shows a top-down view of the plant receptacle of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the plant receptacle of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 shows a cross-sectional view in a width direction of the plant receptacle of Fig. I - 3; and
Fig. 5 depicts a plant receptacle according to the present invention with a plurality of sensors in conjunction with a watering system.
Referring now to the figures, a cultivation receptacle | comprises a bottom 3, one or more than one sidewall 5 and a removable cover 7 placed on a topside of the cultivation receptacle. The bottom 3, sidewalls 5 and the cover 7 collectively define an accommodation 9 into which at a plant 13 may be arranged with at least its roots. A top section of this plant 13 may protrude out of the accommodation through an orifice provided in the removable cover 7.
The plant 13 is supported by a water distributor 11 arranged within the aforementioned accommodation 9. The water distributor 11 provides support to the plant 13 within the accommodation 9, in particular with respect to the plant’s 13 roots. Moreover, as is best elucidated in Fig. 5 the water distributor 11 distributes water that is supplied to the water distributor 11 (e.g. dripped thereon by means of a dripper 29) over a top surface 16 of the water distributor 11. where it may be easily absorbed by the roots of the plant 13.
The water distributor 11 and the removable cover 7 together define an air root growth space 17 in which the plant 13 may develop air roots 15.
Plants generally comprise two types of roots: water roots 12 through which a plant absorbs water and air roots 15 through which the plant absorbs air. When placed in the cultivation receptacle 1, a plant 13 will primarily develop water roots 12 along the top surface 16 of the water distributor 11 where they may readily absorb water. In contrast, the air roots 15 of the plant 13 primarily develop in the air root growth space 17 above the water roots 12, there where the air roots 15 may absorb ambient air.
The water distributor 11 is preferably a rigid structure comprising — for example — a rigid plastic or the like with one or more than one channel 15. Such a rigid structure allows water to be substantially evenly distributed in a thin filmlike layer within the one or more than one channel 15, contrary to water retaining structures comprising e.g. a sponge or the like. The channel 15 may be formed by a channel-shaped recess on the top surface 16 of the water distributor 11, or alternatively in between protrusions forming dams on said top surface 16.
In the appended drawings, the at least one channel 15 forms a maze or labyrinth like structure on the top surface 16 of water distributor 11 that extends in zigzagging directions over substantially the entire top surface 16. Relatively small amounts of water that are dripped on the top surface 16 may therefore spread out over an enlarge surface area of the water distributor 11 to form the aforementioned thin filmlike layer of water, which may be easily absorbed by the water roots 12 of the plant 13. As such, the water needs of plants 13 arranged in the cultivation receptacle
1 can be met with only a minimal amount of water being supplied and little to no wastewater being generated.
In accordance with some embodiments of the cultivation receptacle according to the present invention, the water distributor 11 may be arranged at the bottom 7 of the cultivation receptacle I. However, in the depicted preferred embodiments of the cultivation receptacle 1 the water distributor 11 1s suspended within the accommodation 9 and arranged at a vertical a vertical offset relative to the bottom 3. A water reservoir 19 is preferably arranged between a level L; of the water distributor 11 and the bottom 3.
As elucidated above. water supplied to (e.g. dripped onto) the top surface 16 of the water distributor 11 serves as the primary water source for the one or more plants 13 growing in the cultivation receptacle 1. Because this amount of water is relatively small and is largely either absorbed by the one or more plants 13 or evaporates, a malfunctioning of a watering system through which said water is supplied can easily result in dehydration of the plants.
The aforementioned water reservoir 19 serves as an emergency backup water source in the event that the above occurs. As is elucidated in Fig. 4, the water roots 12 of the plant 13 over time develop to extend downward from the water distributor 11 and into the water reservoir 19. Here, the water roots 12 may absorb at least some amount of water and thus stay hydrated until the supply of water to the water distributor 11 is restored.
The water reservoir 19 may also collect any excess water that drips downward from the water distributor 11. It is for this reason the water reservoir 19 preferably at least partially surrounds the water distributor 11, when viewed in a top-down direction of the cultivation receptacle 1.
As stated above, water is supplied to the top surface 16 of the water distributor by means of a watering system. Fig. 5 depicts a hose 31 connected to a dripper 29 forming part of such a watering system for supplying water to at least the water distributor 11.
The embodiment of the cultivation receptacle 1 depicted in Fig. 3 moreover comprises a plurality of sensors 21, 23, 25 and 27 associated with the watering system.
The first of these sensors is 9 is water sensor 21. The water sensor 21 may be arranged at or near the (the top surface 16 of) the water distributor 11 and is configured to detect the presence of water on the water distributor 11. Moreover, the water sensor 21 is communicatively connected with the aforementioned watering system comprising the hose 31 and dripper 29.
The water sensor 21 is configured to monitor the presence of water on the water distributor 11 where it may easily be absorbed by the plants 13. In the event that the water sensor 21 fails to detect the presence of water or detects only an amount of water that is insufficient, additional water is supplied to the water distributor 11 via the dripper 29. As such. the water sensor 21 ensures that an appropriate minimal amount of water is be fed water distributor 11 and distributed to the water roots of the plants 13 at all times. A plurality of water sensors 21 may be provided at or near various locations of the top surface 16 of the water to detect the presence or absence of water across substantially the entire top surface 16 of the water distributor 11.
Within the water reservoir 19 a water level sensor 23 is provided, the water level sensor 23 being configured to sense a water level in the water reservoir 19. As stated above, the water reservoir 19 primarily serves as a backup water source in case water is not being supplied to the water distributor 11. As such, a minimum water level L; is maintained within the water reservoir 19. In the event that the water level sensor 23 senses that the water level within the water reservoir 19 drops below a minimal water level, additional water is fed into the water reservoir 19 until said minimum water level is reached. This additional water may be fed into the water reservoir via a dedicated inlet, or via the watering system comprising the dripper 29 and hose 31 by temporarily overflooding the top surface 16 of the water distributor 11.
During operation, the water level within the water reservoir 19 is preferably maintained at a water level Ls above the aforementioned minimal water level and below a level Ls of the water distributor 11.
Water supplied to the plants 13 typically comprises nutrients (i.e. fertiliser) dissolved therein for feeding the plants 13. The concentration (or amount) of nutrients in said water is preferably tailored to the nutrition requirements of the plants 13 to ensure that said nutrition requirements are met with little excess nutrients being wasted. To monitor the concentration of these nutrients and/or other nutrition related parameters of the supplied water a sensor 25 is provided.
The sensor 25 may be disposed at or near the water distributor 11 and is configured to measure one or more than one of a nutrition concentration. an acidity, a temperature, and an oxygen content of water supplied to the water distributor 11. Within the context of the present disclosure, each of these values may be referred to as a “nutrition value” that is obtained by means of the at least one sensor 25.
For example, the at least one sensor may be configured to measure an electric conductivity of water supplied to the water distributor 11 representing a concentration of fertiliser that is dissolved in this water.
The at least one sensor 25 is communicatively connected with the aforementioned watering system, which supplies water to the water distributor 11 at least partially dependent on the nutrition value obtained by the at least one sensor 25.
Alternatively or in addition, a further sensor 27 is arranged in the reservoir 19 and configured to obtain a nutrition value (i.e. one or more of a nutrition concentration, an acidity, a temperature, an oxygen content and an electric conductivity) of water present in the water reservoir
19. Like the aforementioned sensor 25, the further sensor 27 is coupled with the watering system to supply water in dependency of the nutrition value obtained by the at least one further sensor 27.
It is noted here that the hereabove described at least one sensor 25 and the at least one further sensor 27 constitute alternatives for obtaining a nutrition related parameter or value.
However, certain embodiments of the cultivation receptacle 1 may comprise both the at least one sensor 25 and the at least one further sensor 27. In these embodiments, the at least one sensor 25 obtains a nutrition value from water when said water is supplied to the water distributor 11. The at least one further sensor 27 obtains a nutrition value from this water after it has dripped off the water distributor 11 into the water reservoir 19 and at least some of the nutrients present in this
IO water have been absorbed. Based on the two nutrition values respectively obtained by these two sensors 25. 27 it may be derived how much fertiliser has been absorbed by the plants 13 and the watering system may supply water to the water distributor in dependancy of this difference.
While the present invention has elucidated with reference to the cultivation receptacle 1 as described here above, the present invention also encompasses a cultivation system comprising at least one cultivation receptacle 1 as described hereabove and a watering system configured to supply water to at least a water distributor 11 of said at least one cultivation receptacle 1.
Said watering system is preferably configured to water the water distributor 11 of the at least one cultivation receptacle 1 in dependency of a sensor value obtained from at least one of the hereabove described sensors 21, 23, 25 and 27.
Lastly, the present invention also comprises a method for cultivating a plant 13. This method comprises at least the steps of arranging a plant 13, seed or seedling in an accommodation 9 of a cultivation receptacle 1 as described hereabove; and watering the water distributor 11 of the cultivation receptacle 1, the water distributor 11 being arranged in the accommodation 9 and being configured to support and water the water roots of a plant 13, seed or seedling.
It is noted here that the scope of protection for the developments described in the present disclosure are by no means limited to any particular feature of the embodiments described above and illustrated in the appended drawing. The scope of protection is exclusively determined based on the limitations of the appended independent claims, but may, in some jurisdictions, even encompass obvious alternatives for features in the independent claims. For example, while the hereabove described sensors 21, 23, 25 and 27 are placed in the in the vicinity of the water from which they obtain their measurement value, it is conceivable that at least some of these sensors 21, 23, 25 and 27 are non-contact sensors capable of obtaining their respective measurement values without contact and at a distance from said water.
Other variations for specifically described elements, components and functionalities, that may also be embodied within the scope of the appended claims of the present disclosure, have been at least hinted at in the above embodiment description or the skilled person may be considered to be able to contemplate these variations within the range of this skilled person’s general knowledge.
This exemplary reference to alternative embodiments substantiates that any limitation to any specific feature that is not defined as a limitation in the independent claims is unwarranted.
