Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for growing plants with aeroponics, in the form of a dismountable modular vase composed of superposed modules ( 4 ) linked by joining rings ( 2 ) and covered by a sealing lid ( 1 ) or ( 21 ). The modules have a plurality of mouthpieces ( 5 ) symmetrically distributed at angular positions, into which the accessories are introduced, such as the rooting basket ( 6 ), the micro-greenhouse ( 22 ), the seed capsule in the form of a foam cube for germination ( 23 ), the support disks ( 24 ), ( 26 ) or ( 27 ), the rod ( 28 ) and the grid ( 29 ). A tank in two parts ( 32 ) and ( 33 ) forms a base for the device and comprises an inspection and supply lid ( 7 ), a protective grid ( 8 ) an on/off switch ( 9 ), a connection ( 10 ) for the power cable, rollers ( 30 ), support legs ( 31 ) and an electronic panel ( 11 ) that displays information about the level of the nutrient solution, temperature, humidity, timer control and automatic actuation functions of the electric components and electronic circuits. The device actuating components are housed inside, together with the float ( 15 ) which stores a mini-generator ( 16 ) of nutrient solution nanoparticles, a ventilation pump ( 17 ) with an air hose ( 18 ), a silencing capsule ( 19 ) and a ruler ( 20 ) with level sensors.

Claim (Index 1):
\u201cMODULAR ELECTRONIC VASE WITH AUTOMATED, DIGITAL CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEM, USED FOR AEROPONIC GROWTH OF PLANTS IN INNER AND OUTER ENVIRONMENTS\u201d wherein the top external portion has a sealing cap ( 1 ) and/or cap ( 21 ), which includes a lightning kit with three luminaires proper for plant growth, stackable growing modules ( 4 ), junction rings ( 2 ), a plurality of plant growing cups ( 5 ), symmetrically positioned at an angle where several accessories are attached such as rooting basket ( 6 ), micro-greenhouse ( 22 ), foam cube seed capsule for germination ( 23 ), support disks ( 24 ), ( 25 ), ( 26 ) and ( 27 ), plant guiding rod ( 28 ), support tray ( 29 ) and identification tags ( 34 ), completed by a water reservoir divided in two parts ( 32 ) and ( 33 ). The water inspection and supply lid ( 7 ), protective grid ( 8 ), on/off power switch ( 9 ), power input ( 10 ) for the power cable, rotating wheels ( 30 ), supporting legs ( 31 ), and, in particular, electronic panel with digital display ( 11 ) that displays information about the level of the nutrient solution, temperature, humidity, timer control and automatic actuation functions of the components as presented in  FIG. 4 , where power cables of all electric components and electronic circuits are protected and housed inside, are in this portion, along with the floating buoy ( 15 ) that holds the mini-generator ( 16 ) of the nutrient rich solution nanoparticles, aeration pump ( 17 ) with air hose ( 18 ) and a noise reduction capsule ( 19 ), a sensor level ruler ( 20 ). The aero cultivation system of this electronic device can be coupled to other growing modules ( 4 ) thus increasing its vertical capacity of production without the need of the base expansion, as presented in  FIG. 8 . The invention is customizable, adjustable and comes in different colors. The growing modules ( 4 ) with plant growing cups ( 5 ) and junction ring ( 2 ), mentioned above, are welded or constructed in one piece and coupled to the two-part reservoir, affixed by fast fitting securing mounting clips ( 3 ). The design has specific shape, size, technical details with interconnection between components and accessories that are unique of this invention, as mentioned in the specification. The apparatus is programmable, with wi-fi communication to send alerts and reports via application or web platform to smartphone or similar. It comes ready for use, further including: pH, TDS/EC sensors, and standard fittings to be used with the specific software (firmware) and hardware (circuitry) assemble of this urban cultivation of plants system.
