연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The present invention is directed towards an improvement to hydroponic systems using vertical platforms to cultivate plants. A horizontal platform, and system using the horizontal platform, designed to provide for plant growth in a soilless growth medium using an ebb and flow system to cultivate plants within the horizontal platform is provided. The horizontal platform uses a floating valve system to control the amount of fluid cycled through the horizontal grow platform. The present invention further provides for a device that converts a hydroponic vertical tower to a hydroponic device using a vertical tower platform which is designed to circulate nutrients for plant growth in a soilless growth medium and a horizontal platform designed to provide for plant growth in a soilless growth medium using an ebb and flow system to cultivate plants within the horizontal platform.

1. A system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform comprising: a horizontal grow platform comprising a top portion and a bottom portion configured to receive and store a fluid;a floating valve system configured to control the amount of said fluid entering or exiting said horizontal grow platform bottom portion, said floating valve system comprising a buoyant fluid holding basin sized and shaped to receive and hold a predetermined volume of a fluid on one surface and a shaped float member having a calibrated release orifice arranged on a second opposing surface, said fluid holding basin having an opening positioned within a bottom wall and sized and shaped to allow fluid to move between said one surface and said second opposing surface; and a shaped float member seat formed within a bottom surface of said horizontal grow platform bottom portion and sized and shaped to receive said shaped float member; and at least one guide member configured to maintain positioning of said buoyant fluid holding basin within said horizontal grow platform as said buoyant fluid holding basin moves in a liner direction about said at least one guide member;a fluid reservoir operatively coupled to said horizontal grow platform;a fluid return configured to allow said fluid within an interior portion of said horizontal grow platform to return to said fluid reservoir, said fluid return fluidly coupled to said shaped float member seat via a fluid passageway and configured to allow passage of said fluid from said interior portion of said horizontal grow platform when said shaped float member is not engaged within said shaped float member seat;and a pump configured to move said fluid from said fluid reservoir to said horizontal grow platform. 2. The system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform according to claim 1 wherein said shaped float member seat contains a fluid passageway, said fluid passageway terminating in a fluid return opening. 3. The system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform according to claim 1 wherein said shaped float member and said shaped float member seat have conjugate shapes. 4. The system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform according to claim 1 wherein said shaped float member has a spherical or partially spherical shape. 5. The system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform according to claim 1 further including a timing mechanism. 6. The system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform according to claim 5 wherein said timing mechanism includes a dual cycle timing device. 7. The system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform according to claim 6 wherein at least one cycle of said dual cycle timing device is programmed for a 15 minute on period and a 15 minute off period. 8. The system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform according to claim 6 wherein at least one cycle of said dual cycle timing device is programmed for a 1 minute on period and a 3 minute off period. 9. The system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform according to claim 1 wherein said top portion contains at least one plant grow container. 10. The system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform according to claim 9 wherein said at least one plant grow container contains a mesh material. 11. The system for growing plants in a soilless growth medium using a horizontal grow platform according to claim 1 further including two or more vertically stacked growth containers, at least one said vertically stacked growth container fluidly coupled to said horizontal grow platform. 12. The horizontal platform for growing plants in a soilless environment comprising: a top portion;a bottom portion configured to receive and store a fluid; anda floating valve system configured to control the amount of fluid cycling through said horizontal grow platform bottom portion, said floating valve system comprising a buoyant fluid holding structure sized and shaped to receive and hold a predetermined volume of a fluid positioned on a first surface; a shaped float member having a calibrated release orifice arranged on a second opposing surface, said fluid holding structure having an opening positioned within a bottom wall of said fluid holding structure and sized and shaped to allow fluid to travel between said first surface and said second opposing surface; and a shaped float member seat formed within a bottom surface of said bottom portion and sized and shaped to receive said shaped float member, and at least one guide member configured to maintain positioning of said buoyant fluid holding structure within said bottom portion as said buoyant fluid holding structure moves in a liner direction about said at least one guide member;a fluid reservoir operatively coupled to said horizontal grow platform; anda fluid return configured to allow said fluid within an interior portion of said bottom portion to return to said fluid reservoir, said fluid return fluidly coupled to said shaped float member seat via a fluid passageway and configured to allow passage of said fluid from said bottom portion when said shaped float member is not engaged within said shaped float member seat. 13.
