The invention relates to a device for plant irrigation with a trough for receiving liquid, with a provided above the tub bottom of the tub support, with a capillary mat provided on the support, with a liquid-permeable film attached to the mat, which has a footprint for irrigation of the plant forms, and with at least one adjoining the mat capillary connector for receiving liquid of the tub.
In order to enable autarkic irrigation of plants, devices are known from the prior art, which use capillary means for this purpose. Thus, GB2281182A proposes to space a capillary mat over a carrier from the bottom of the tub and to connect it with capillary connecting elements in order to be able to absorb liquid from the tub. The capillary mat is covered by a liquid-permeable or perforated foil which forms a footprint for the plant so that the plant can draw liquid from the mat. Disadvantageously, the capillary connecting element freely hangs over openings of the carrier in the liquid above the trough bottom, which is why such a construction in the case of their movement, for example by their transport or a change in their location, has disadvantages - such as unwanted slippage of the mat. Furthermore, with the aid of such a known device, a targeted adjustment of the extent of irrigation can not or only with difficulty be ensured.
The same disadvantages are to be expected in other constructions (WOOO / 25573A) in which dispensed with capillary connection elements and edge sides of the capillary mat hang in the liquid. 2/15 -2 -
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide, starting from the input prior art, a device that can steadfast ensure a self-sufficient and adjustable in degree irrigation of a plant even with mobile use. In addition, this device should be structurally simple and inexpensive to produce.
The invention solves this problem by the fact that the carrier has at least one particular rigid line, in particular forms, which is filled by the capillary connection element.
If the carrier has a line, this carrier can be used for simple and secure guidance of the capillary connecting element. It can thus be provided with a support for the continuous and constant transport of liquid of the tub to capillary mat available, which is not only mechanically strong, but also relatively independent of vibration, movement of the device in the course of their understanding, etc. - the fasteners can thus be largely secured against slipping each other and subsequently also against the tub. A stable, self-sufficient irrigation for plants can thus be ensured even with a mobile use of the device, even if the capillary mat has no direct contact with the liquid of the tub or is disposed above the liquid level of the tub. A particularly stable and above all structurally simple device may result if the carrier forms the line and / or the line is filled by the capillary connecting element. Thus, the immersion position of the capillary connecting element is ensured in the liquid of the tub even at high movement loads. In addition, it can be ensured with the line open to the mat and to the liquid that the capillary connecting element is connected to liquid of the trough and to the capillary mat or in contact therewith. As a further consequence, even a uniform irrigation of the footprint can be achieved. In particular, the device according to the invention is characterized by the enclosure of the capillary connecting element, which is easy to provide, in that the line is filled by the capillary connecting element. The fact that the carrier preferably forms the line, moreover, a reduction in components of the device and thus with a cost reduction can be achieved. Advantageously, by adjusting the number of lines whose size in terms of their diameter, the properties of the capillary connecting elements, etc., a comparatively accurate adjustment of the extent of liquid transport from the trough to the footprint are made possible.
If the carrier is designed in the form of a grate, advantages may result, inter alia, from constructive simplicity. In this way, for example, the maintenance - such as filling the tub with liquid, the test of the water level, the cleaning of the device, etc. can be simplified.
If the line tapers concentrically in the direction of the trough bottom, the amount of capillary liquid transfer to the mat can be adjusted, as a result of which the device according to the invention can also be characterized by versatile applicability-corresponding to the supply of minimum and / or maximum amount of water required for the respective plant species. Furthermore, in this way a comparatively comprehensive, uniform supply of the capillary mat provided on the carrier can be ensured.
In order to achieve a safe and constant in its extent, determinable absorption of liquid from the tub, it can be provided that the line terminates in an opening in front of the tub bottom. In this way, it can be achieved that impurities possibly present in the tub do not or at least to a lesser extent affect the capillary liquid transfer. 4/15 -4-
A uniform wetting of the mat with liquid from the tub can be achieved if the carrier has evenly distributed over its extension lines arranged.
If the rust-shaped carrier has a line on at least one node of its webs, its simple positioning or even its simple provision is ensured. Last but not least, this can increase the stability of the capillary connection with respect to displacements due to movement forces. The device can therefore be particularly suitable for mobile use.
If the carrier with its webs on the side wall of the tub, among other things, the rigidity of the tub can be increased and the positioning of the conduit with the capillary connecting element can be simplified. If the carrier with its webs also at least partially adjoins the bottom of the tub, this advantage is further improved.
If the side surfaces of the webs which converge in regions to each other extend in a flat bearing surface for the mat, the contact surface of the mat with the carrier can be reduced without impairing the stability of the device. Advantageously, the mat can nevertheless be supported to a sufficient extent by a support, with possible undesirable effects of resting on it - such as, for example, mold formation - being counteracted.
If the carrier is designed as a removable tray insert, the design conditions of the device can be further simplified. In addition, the maintenance of the device is considerably simplified, for example for cleaning purposes. In addition, it can be made possible in this way, the device quickly and easily - for example, by using different levels of pronounced capillary liquid transport - to adapt to the particular needs, needs of plants, etc. 5/15 -5-
If the capillary connecting element consists of a wick material, its increased capillary forces can be used to ensure adequate fluid transfer. In particular, glass fibers can be distinguished here-for example due to their long service life.
In the figures, for example, the subject invention is illustrated in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. Show it
1 is a plan view of a device for capillary irrigation of a plant,
2 shows a sectional view according to II-II of FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 shows an enlarged detail view of FIG. 2.
The device 1 shown, for example, according to Figures 1 and 2 has a trough 2 for receiving liquid 3, with which a non-illustrated plant is watered. This plant is placed on a provided above the tub bottom 4 of the tub 2 support 5 of the device 1, on its flat support surface 6, which is above the liquid level 7 of the tub 2. Between the carrier 5 and the plant, a capillary mat 8 is provided, to which a liquid-permeable or perforated film 9 connects. The film 9 subsequently forms the footprint 19 of the plant which is watered via the device. In order to supply the capillary mat 8, which lies above the mirror 7 of the liquid 3 of the tub 2, with liquid 3, a capillary connecting element 10 is provided, which protrudes both into the liquid 3 of the tub 2 and abuts against the capillary mat 8 , The capillary connecting element 10 can thus absorb liquid 3 of the trough 2 and forward it continuously to the capillary mat 8, which liquid 3 is then released via the foil 9 to the plant or its root system. This liquid 3 may consist, for example, of water mixed with a fertilizer.
According to the invention, the carrier 5 forms lines 11 which are filled by the capillary connecting element 10, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 2. The carrier is designed in a rust-shaped manner, wherein the lines 11 are each provided at nodes 15 of the webs 14. Thus, a particularly high mechanical strength of the device 1 is given, which also increases by the fact that the carrier 5 with its webs 14 on the tub bottom 4 and on the side walls 16 of the tub 2 connects.
By the mat 8 and the liquid 3 open towards lines 11 ensures that the capillary connector 10 remains in contact with liquid 8 and undergoes no drying. Advantageously, the lines end in 11 openings 13 in front of the tub bottom 4, so as to be less sensitive to contamination on the tub bottom 4, which are avoided especially at low water levels encrustations on the lines and thus restrictions on water transport. In this way, simple and stable construction are ensured.
A particularly stable device results from the fact that the lines 11, as shown in Fig. 2, are made rigid. Movement-induced displacements of the capillary connecting elements 10 are thus excluded, whereby the device is particularly suitable for applications in the course of which it is moved. Displacements of the parts of the device for irrigating a plant which are known from the state of the art and their associated disturbances or impairments in their function are therefore not to be expected.
As capillary connecting element 10, a wick material, in particular glass fiber, is conceivable. In general, it is mentioned that the connecting elements 10 can also have different dimensions, in particular with respect to their diameter, depending on their arrangement on the rust-shaped carrier 5, for example.
As can further be seen in FIG. 2, the carrier 5 forms the line 11, whereby an integral tray insert 12 is created, which underlines the constructive simplicity of the device 1 according to the invention. In addition, the tray insert 12 7/15 -7 - removed, which allows numerous advantages in terms of maintenance - such as cleaning - and variable use by simple and quick replacement of the frame 5 - if necessary against frame with different levels of water transport.
Since the line 11 tapers concentrically in the direction of the trough base 4, which can be better seen in FIG. 3, the suction effect of the capillary connecting element 10 is additionally reinforced. In addition, the carrier 5 evenly distributed lines 11 provided. Thus, by the device, an increased liquid transport to, but also a relatively uniform supply and distribution of liquid on the mat 8 are made possible.
The rust-shaped support 5 forms an interrupted support surface 6, wherein the flat support surfaces 6 are additionally kept small by partially tapered side surfaces 17, 18 of the webs 14, which terminate in the flat support surface 6, small. This ensures adequate ventilation of the mat 8 - accumulations of water between the webs 14 and mat 8 and the danger associated therewith mold growth are thus reduced. 8.15
