  • the application US2009/0307973 A1 discloses a vertical device having independent trays where the liquid goes from a container to the next one in a lower level by gravity and it does not include a structure that captures and maximizes light.
  • the present invention discloses a hydroponic cultivation device capable of retaining light so as to speed up the crop growing process and having an independent irrigation device guaranteeing the appropriate distribution of nutrients.
  • the present invention refers to a modular device vertically incorporating different levels with channels for hydroponic cultivation, said channels being independent for each level and being provided with liquid that is distributed along the channel.
  • This liquid is the result of a mixture of nutrients among tanks being positioned at the rear side of the device, the role of which is also to recycle the liquid being received and recirculate it into other levels.
  • a first aspect of the invention refers to a device for vertical hydroponic crops characterized in that it comprises:
  • each tray comprises a device with longitudinal channels and plates being arranged onto said channels, wherein said channels comprise in turn holes configured for accommodating the plants to be grown.

  • a first pump located at the bottom of the structure, connected to the tank and configured for pumping the irrigation liquid from the tank to the trays, and
  • the pipes connecting the first pump of the irrigation equipment with each of the trays comprises liquid distributors having multiple nozzles, where each nozzle is configured to individually provide each channel of the tray with water.
  • the device comprises straightway valves arranged at the pipes before the liquid distributors. More preferably, the valves are solenoid straightway ones, that is, they are electric valves used for controlling the liquid passing through and their operation is based on the electromagnetic impulses of a solenoid (electromagnet).
  • the device comprises an electronic device located next to each straightway valve which controls opening and closing thereof.
  • the recirculation equipment comprises:
  • an excess liquid collecting device configured for collecting the excess liquid from each of the trays
  • a second pump located at the bottom of the device, at the end being opposite to the first pump of the irrigation equipment, connected through a pipe to the tank containing irrigation liquid and configured for pumping the excess liquid from each excess liquid collecting device towards the tank.
  • the device of the present invention can be introduced in the structure of a storage container so as to obtain a crop of a high density of plants under a controlled environment.
  • a controlled environment allows modification of the natural parameters of the environment, such as growing food which is not originally from that place.
  • the characteristics of the cultivation device of the invention make it possible for it to be movable for an easy transport thereof.
  • Another advantage of the device of the invention is that, by having a vertical structure, it allows accommodating a great amount of plants, creating an efficient space and taking advantage of the production area.
  • the modular structure of the device allows dimensional growing of the plants and provides the necessary space for that.
  • the recirculation device allows using the least amount of water possible per cultivation cycle, which implies a saving in water consumption.
  • the device uses mineral dissolutions in water to feed the plants.
  • the automatic valves of the device allow a power saving, as well as the reflecting panels which allow an increase of light intensity without an increase in power consumption.
  • the amount of nutrients can be controlled by using reservoirs or tanks.
  • the device of the present invention comprising the characteristics described above allows growing a high density of plants under a controlled environment using mineral dissolutions in water by means of an independent irrigation method and liquid recycling.
  • This device is suitable to be installed in urban environments and thus to allow mobility and easy access to the device.
  • each device has the possibility to increase or reduce the dimensions thereof as required.

  • FIG. 6. It shows another detailed view of the recirculation equipment of the device and the tanks with irrigation liquid.
  • the vertical hydroponic cultivation (1 ) under controlled environment is intended to be placed inside a structure capable of modifying the inner environment, as it shown in FIG. 1 where the cultivation device appears within the structure of a storage container (2) which allows cultivation in a controlled environment.
  • FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show that the vertical hydroponic cultivation device under controlled environment comprises a reflective or reflecting (3) sheet surrounding the supporting structure (4) of the vertical hydroponic cultivation device (1 ).
  • This reflecting sheet (3) has the purpose of increasing the intensity of the light the plants receive by reflecting the light emitted by the lights (5) being installed at the top of each tray (10).
  • FIG. 4 show that the trays (10) of the vertical hydroponic cultivation device under controlled environment comprises a set of channels (6) having a plate (7) at the upper part thereof arranged onto the channels (6), with a matrix of holes (8) to place the receptacles for each plant (9), such that each row of plants (9) coincide with the path of the liquid along each channel (6).
  • the hydroponic cultivation device under controlled environment comprises at least one reserve tank (1 1 ) with a mixture of all the nutrients dissolved in the liquid extracted by a liquid pump (12) which moves the liquid through irrigation pipes to each one of the levels or trays (10) of the hydroponic cultivation device.
  • the irrigation equipment is provided with water distributors (13) having multiple nozzles which individually coincide with each channel.
  • the irrigation equipment is also provided with straightway valves (14), preferably solenoid, automatically controlled by an electronic device (15). This electronic device (15) coordinates the opening and closing sequence of the straightway valves (14), such that only one of them is open per each cycle of irrigation.
  • FIG. 6 shows that the hydroponic cultivation device under controlled environment is provided with recirculation equipment consisting of cascading liquid collecting channels (16) directing the water being collected at each level or tray (10) towards a pump (17) for driving the liquid through a pipe (18) to a water distributor (19), the outlets of which are connected to the reserve tanks (1 1 ) so as to use the same liquid during the cultivation cycle.
  • recirculation equipment consisting of cascading liquid collecting channels (16) directing the water being collected at each level or tray (10) towards a pump (17) for driving the liquid through a pipe (18) to a water distributor (19), the outlets of which are connected to the reserve tanks (1 1 ) so as to use the same liquid during the cultivation cycle.
