    [0001] CELLULAR AEROPONIC CULTURE FRAMEWORK AND AEROPONIC CULTURE PLANT Field of the invention.
    [0002] The present invention relates to the field of aeroponic culture. Aeroponics is a method of cultivation in which the roots of a plant are suspended in the air and sprayed at short, regular intervals with a mist of nutrient solution. The roots grow in a light-shielded chamber and are irrigated by high pressure sprinklers to vaporize a solution composed of microdroplets of ideal size between 20 and 80 μm (optimal size for root exchange). via a diaphragm pump and an expansion tank. As a result, the plants grow in a sanitized environment, preserved from all diseases and contaminations. On the other hand, the physical contact between the root mass and its container is minimized so that there is no obstruction to its natural development, access to the nutrient solution or oxygenation. In aeroponics, the plants have constant access to the nutrient solution, which itself has a very high oxygen content, thus allowing greater mineral absorption by the root hairs. 5 The more the plant absorbs water, oxygen and thus nutrients, the more important is the crop produced. Good oxygenation of the roots also allows increased prevention against pathogens. The more the root space is confined, the more important is the probability of disease development. Aeroponia's main goal is to maximize root exchange. The goal is to spray a nutrient solution for a very short time (0.5 to 1 second every 2-3 minutes) to maintain the presence of a fine nutrient mist heavily loaded with oxygen and minerals in the root chamber and therefore optimize the exchange of absorbent hairs. STATE OF THE ART Various solutions for the aeroponic culture are known in the state of the art. FR2960574 patent describes a device for using the food plants as architectural elements, through pipes to maintain the said plants. This is the concept of creating agricultural architectural spaces thanks to the new agricultural techniques above ground such as aeroponics and hydroponics. Thanks to the ETFE pipes and sheets, it is possible to create any form of structures to build architectural spaces. The process will be constantly renewed and the organic space will always be changed naturally. Disadvantages of the prior art The solutions of the prior art are adapted to artisanal or scientific cultures, or for applications of producing small quantities of species such as cannabis in the countries which allow its consumption. They do not allow industrialization of production in large quantities because the handling of the plantations requires a large and qualified workforce making the production costs excessive. Solutions Provided by the Invention In order to overcome these drawbacks, the present invention relates, in its most general sense, to an aeroponic culture frame constituted by a rigid frame open at its upper surface and its lower part and having peripheral shoulders for receiving at least one extractable plate, said pierced plate having a plurality of XxY housings 5 for receiving aeroponic culture cells, X and Y being integers greater than 3. Advantageously, said plate is formed by a polystyrene block , of cellular plastic or polycarbonate, in particular massive honeycomb plates 10 and / or corrugated. Preferably, the housings formed in said plate are configured to provide a seal between the upper surface and the lower surface when all the housings are occupied by culture cells. Alternatively, the frame has plugs to close the housing without cultured cells. The invention also relates to an aeroponic culture installation comprising a plurality of elements constituted by a rigid frame having supports for receiving at least one extractable plate, said pierced plate having a plurality of housings for receiving aeroponic culture cells, said 25 frames being mobile in at least one direction of displacement. Preferably, this installation comprises a mobile spray carriage under the surface of said frames. Advantageously, the installation comprises an unloading area frames at one end of said installation, and loading frames equipped with culture cells in a loading area. According to a variant, each frame is sized to receive N × M pierced plates, where N and M are integers, at least one being greater than 1. According to another variant, the installation comprises a plurality of plates pierced with a density of different dwellings. According to a variant, the installation comprises at least one jack for moving a tube capable of pushing a culture cell out of its housing. The invention also relates to an aeroponic culture cell for a frame according to the invention, formed by an annular ring having at least two lateral tabs. Advantageously, the cell has an annular base extended to its underside by a tubular skirt whose outer section is substantially equal to the inner section of the housing. Preferably, said annular base is pierced by an opening opening on a peripheral edge 3024817 - 6 - extended by at least three angles having at their lower end a shoulder. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION The present invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, relating to a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment with reference to the appended drawings in which: FIG. perspective of an example of installation according to the invention - Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a frame according to the invention - Figure 3 shows a perspective view 15 of a culture cell according to the invention . Description of the Installation FIGS. 1 and 2 show a view of an exemplary embodiment of the installation according to the invention respectively in perspective and in cross-section. The installation is formed by a frame having two rails (1, 2) extending longitudinally, supported by legs (3, 4) distributed along these rails (1, 2) to form a production line. The installation also comprises frames (5, 6) supporting polystyrene plates (7, 8) traversed by housings (9). These frames (5, 6) are formed by assembling L-shaped metal sections (20, 21), seen in section, to present a lower shoulder (22, 23) on which the lower peripheral edge of the polystyrene plate (7). The rails (1, 2) comprise rollers lo (10 to 14) for moving the frames (5, 6) longitudinally. Figure 2 shows a sectional view of an alternative embodiment where the frame receives an arrangement of NxM polystyrene plates. In this case, crosspieces (24) support the inner peripheral edges of the plates. The plates have housings (9) passing through the plate (7), cylindrical in shape, round or square section, or frustoconical shape.
    [0003] These housings are intended to receive a culture cell formed by a molded plastic part shown in FIG. 3. Description of the culture cell The culture cell has an annular base (25) extended at its lower face by a tubular skirt ( 26). The outer section of the annular base (25) is greater than the inner section of the housing (9). The outer section of the tubular skirt (26) is substantially equal to the inner section of the housing (9), to allow insertion and extraction with a small clearance, to ensure lateral and then superior sealing, through the annular base (25). This annular base (25) is pierced by a square opening (27) opening on a peripheral edge lo (28) extended by four angles (30 to 33) having at their lower end a shoulder (40 to 43). These cells are intended to receive blocks (34 to 36) formed by a parallelepiped-shaped porous substrate containing a plant seed to be grown. The configuration of the cell makes it possible to house this block while preserving a large area for misting, when the seed has not yet germinated. Indeed, the four lateral faces of the block (34 to 36) 20 and the lower surface are accessible to receive by misting the nutrients. The shape of these cells also ensures a seal and prevents the spread of misting over the surface of the plate (7). This avoids the risk of rotting leaves and loss of nutrient fluid. The excess nutrient liquid falls to the bottom of the plant in a collection and recycling bin. The unoccupied housing of the plate (7) is closed by a plug (37) sealing.
    [0004] Separation of Culture Cells Referring back to FIG. 1, a solution will now be described to facilitate rearrangement of the culture cells on the plate.
    [0005] During loading, the blocks containing the seed can be arranged on the plate in a dense manner. As the plant growth progresses, the follicular system occupies a growing volume. It is therefore expedient to be able to change the surface density of the cells, with a maximum grouping during loading and one or more spacings during the growth phase. For this, one solution is to remove a portion of the cells with their vegetated blocks to reposition them on another plate, with a larger spacing. For example, the central cell is removed from a set of five slots forming a square, with a central housing and a housing at each corner. For this, the installation comprises a motorized equipment 25 ensuring the raising and lowering of a cross member (50) supporting jacks (51 to 53) spaced in a step 3024817 -10 - corresponding to the pitch of the housing of the polystyrene plate . These cylinders move tubes having a section corresponding to the section of the tubular skirt (26) of the cells. A tube thus surrounds the root system and then pushes the cell out of its housing. An operator can then grab it to move it and insert it into the empty slot of another plate. The mobility of the frames relative to the rails makes it easier to manipulate the plates for loading, unloading and moving the cells. In particular, the loading can be carried out at one end of the rails, and unloading at the other end, where the frame carrying the tray (s) whose cells carry mature plants is recovered, removed from the rails to be transported in a plant recovery zone before being reloaded with blocks not yet germinated, and to be placed on the rails, at the opposite end for a new crop cycle. 25
