AUTONOMOUS PLANT INCUBATOR Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A01G27/02 

FIELD: autonomous devices.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to autonomous devices for the protection, feeding and watering of young plants in the early period of development. An autonomous plant incubator contains a reservoir for storing a nutrient aqueous solution, in which a filling neck is made and an irrigation device is installed, a collector in the form of a profiled section for collecting rainwater and water condensate from the atmosphere, in which a lock is made to replenish the reservoir with collected water. In the central part of the incubator, a chamber is made open from below and from above, permeable for the development of the root system and the germination of plants from the soil. On the outer side of the incubator there is a platform in the form of a bearing thin-walled body. The shape of the platform has the form of a cuvette with its concave side facing the ground and forming an upper wall, a side wall and an inner cavity. A collector for collecting water, a filler neck, a sluice and a part of the chamber for a plant are made on the upper wall of the platform. On the side wall of the platform, elements of adhesion to the ground are made. A channel is made on the platform with the ability to selectively open or block additional access to the chamber with the plant. The reservoir, irrigation device and elements of the chamber for the plant are placed in the inner cavity of the platform.

EFFECT: ensuring high plant survival, as well as expanding the functionality of autonomous plant incubators.
