Abstract

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for growing plants and greening vertical surfaces. A phytomodule (1) for plants includes sections for installing one or more plants in pots, has a fastening (6) to a vertical surface. The phytomodule contains a means for supplying liquid, one end of which is located at the bottom (2) of a storage cavity for nutrient liquid, and the other end is intended for contact with the soil in the pot. The storage cavity of the phytomodule is separated from the rest by a horizontally arranged insert (8), which is shaped to match the inner surface of the phytomodule, with the ability to be retained on at least two supports (4) at the lower level and on at least two supports (10) at the upper level. The supports are made in the form of protrusions on the bottom and side walls of the inner container of the phytomodule. The insert contains at least one through hole (9) for a pot, and on the sides contains at least two slots (11.1, 11.2) corresponding to the location of the upper level supports and not corresponding to the location of the lower level supports. The slots are made of such dimensions as to freely pass through the upper supports. EFFECT: increasing the volume of the water storage cavity, which can be adjusted depending on the duration of absence of watering. 4 cl, 4 dwg

Claims (4)

  1. 1. A phytomodule for plants, including sections for installing one or more plants in pots, having a fastening to a vertical surface, containing a means for supplying liquid, one end of which is located at the bottom of the storage cavity for the nutrient liquid, and the other is intended for contact with the soil in the pot, characterized in that the storage cavity of the phytomodule is separated from the rest by a horizontally located insert, which is made according to the shape of the inner surface of the phytomodule, with the possibility of being held on at least two stops at the lower level and at least two stops at the upper level, where the stops are made in the form of protrusions on the bottom and side walls of the inner surface of the phytomodule, wherein the insert contains at least one through hole for the pot, and on the sides contains at least two slots corresponding to the location of the stops of the upper level and not corresponding to the location of the stops of the lower level, where the slots are made of such dimensions that they freely pass through the upper stops.
  2. 2. The phytomodule according to paragraph 1, characterized in that inside the lower part of the phytomodule, which has several sections for installing several pots, from the bottom of the phytomodule through its opposite side walls, at least one solid partition is made, dividing the storage cavity of the phytomodule into adjacent sections.
  3. 3. The phytomodule according to paragraph 1, characterized in that stiffening ribs are provided on the bottom of the phytomodule.
  4. 4. A phytomodule according to paragraph 1, characterized in that the means for supplying liquid is made in the form of a wick made of textile material or in the form of watering pegs.

Description

The invention relates to agriculture, namely to devices for growing plants and landscaping vertical surfaces. A device for vertical or inclined placement of agricultural crops outside of plant soil (RU 2553649 C2, published June 20, 2015) is known from the existing prior art. The device has at least one phytomodule defining an internal volume intended for storing nutrients and plants and is bounded by a front wall and a rear wall rigidly connected to the front wall. At least the front wall has an opening for the passage of plants, and at least one wall, either front or rear, has a fixation space for attaching the phytomodule to a holder. Moreover, at least one wall, either front or rear, has overlapping ribs that allow, when the device is installed on a plant roof or wall and has at least two adjacent phytomodules, the phytomodules to overlap each other at least partially on the wall or roof. A phytomodule for growing plants and landscaping vertical surfaces is known (RU 148569 U1, published 12/10/2014), made in the form of a vertical panel made of plastic and fixed to the wall of a room or building or to any vertical structure, and also containing a system for supplying nutrient solutions or water, characterized in that the panel is made in the form of at least two leak-proof trays placed one under the other and having a transverse angle of inclination, and in each tray, except for the bottom one, a drainage hole or a cutout is made in the wall of the tray. A phytomodule for plant placement and vertical landscaping is known (RU 156472 U1, published 10.11.2015), comprising a supporting structure made of a moisture-resistant material, configured to secure its rear wall to a vertical surface. According to the claimed technical solution, the supporting structure is designed in the form of at least two shelves inclined relative to the rear wall, placed one above the other to form cavities for collecting drainage water, wherein each cavity is configured to implement wick irrigation. Moreover, each shelf may be equipped with a drain hole located to ensure the maximum level of drainage liquid accumulated in the cavity. The phytomodule may additionally comprise a supply system configured to deliver liquid to the cavities. The closest technical solution to the stated one is a vertical floral panel (RU 107448 U1, published August 20, 2011), which is a suspended element constructed as a supporting structure with elements for attaching soil containers. Each container consists of side and end walls and a bottom with drainage holes. The proposed design is easy to use, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and offers a variety of decorative options. A phytomodule for vertical gardening is known (patent RU 159281 U), made in the form of a vertical panel made of plastic and fixed to the wall of a room or building, and also containing a system for supplying a nutrient solution or water, characterized in that the panel is made in the form of at least two leak-proof trays-pallets, placed one under the other and having an angle of inclination, and the front wall of all the trays-pallets of the phytomodule is made of different heights, which guarantees the outflow of excess water during watering and allows leaving in the tray only the standardized amount of water necessary for watering the plants. A PHYTOMODULE FOR GROWING PLANTS AND LANDSCAPING VERTICAL SURFACES is known [patent RU 148569 U, published 12/10/2014] made in the form of a vertical panel made of plastic and attached to the wall of a room or building, containing a system for supplying a nutrient solution or water that operates on the principle of overflowing liquid from the upper trays to the lower ones through a system of pipes and drainage holes. The drawback of all the above-described well-known solutions is that all known phytomodules are designed for continuous watering. They cannot be used indoors or outdoors in dry climates during long periods without watering (a week or two or more). A phytomodular device for vertical or inclined placement of plants is known (RU 173971 U, published 09.22.2017), consisting of a supporting structure and phytomodules for placing plants, wherein the supporting structure is made with elements for fastening the phytomodules, and the body of the phytomodules consists of side and end walls and a bottom with an opening made in it for draining excess moisture, characterized in that the design of the phytomodule is made to allow the placement of pots with plants in it, on the end wall of the phytomodule there is a projection for the possibility of fixing it to the supporting structure, on the bottom of the phytomodule there is a storage cavity for water, a hygroscopic material is placed on the bottom of the phytomodule, retaining moisture for plant nutrition, and the phytomodule is attached to the supporting structure in such a way that an angle of 1 to 89 degrees is formed between the bottom of the phytomodule and the vertical.
