    TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to a device for vertical cultivation of plants comprising a panel element arranged on a vertical edge with an outer layer, used in bushings for plants are accommodated, and an upper end surface which scrutinizes both a front and a back side of the element.
    The invention also relates to the use of a device as above.
    Finally, the invention also relates to a method of providing such a device.
    AGE TECHNOLOGY There are already devices for upright, approximately vertical, cultivation. An example of such a device is shown in EP2428110. In this device a hydrophilic felt material is arranged between a rear, waterproof layer and a frame surface layer, used in slides are accommodated for plants. In addition, a seam or lattice is used to secure the felt material. The constituent layers are all soft, so that the device is rollable. A perforated tube is inserted into the top of the device, for the supply of water and water-soluble feed. Excess water is released at the bottom of the device through slippery. The soft device is intended to be arranged on a cradle or the like, partly because it is not self-supporting and partly because it is single-sided.
    The construction shown works relatively selectively, at least in certain climates and for certain plant types, but has spirit. disadvantages. Since the water is drained out at the bottom, it is only suitable for outdoor use, and d. Over such a surface that the water that drips out does not cause damage or discoloration that is responsible for decaying. At the same time, it is necessary to arrange it next to a cradle, which limits the freedom of choice in its placement. FR2634971 shows another example of a similar device having a waterproof, upright disc which is covered with a felt material. Fittband is arranged darpa, so that Walla firm plants. Also in this device water is supplied via a perforated pipe at the upper edge of the device. At the bottom, a trig is arranged for collecting and recirculating water which is supplied to the felt material.
    This device also has certain disadvantages. Admittedly, it is independent and liar a collector to take care of excess water, but the risk is imminent that it is black to regulate the water supply. At a low supply and high ambient temperature, there is a great risk that the evaporation from the felt material is so extensive that only the plants in the upper part of the device, near the water supply, get enough water. Evaporation can also lead to a change in the concentration of the nutrient in the water, which can have a negative effect on sensitive plants.
    A higher water supply can compensate for the loss via evaporation, but entailed a risk that the plants in the upper part would be given too large amounts of water. In addition, if the temperature drops, the evaporation decreases and even the plants in the lower part of the device risk an excessive supply of water, which can only be partially compensated by draining water away in the lower edge of the device. The problems become more pronounced with increasing size of the device, since the evaporation is in proportion to the surface of the device.
    Common to the two devices is also that they are limited in size, and the possibilities of adjusting the size of their size to the place where they are to be arranged are very small.
    PROBLEM SETTING It is thus desired to provide a device for vertical cultivation where size and location are freely selectable, and where the water supply in the device is not problematic in the ways described. TROUBLESHOOTING The template on which the invention is based is achieved if the device initially indicated is given the sign that the element along the edges of its upper surface is provided with at least one elongated ridge. The panel element is provided along the edges of its lower surface with at least one elongate bead, the shapes of the bead and the ridge being complementary for interconnection of two panel elements, and that a filling is arranged in the panel elements.
    Additional advantages are obtained if the device is additionally given one or more characteristics according to claims 2-5.
    Regarding the manner of providing the device, the object is achieved if this can be characterized in that a prefabricated, insulated cradle element is arranged so that a face surface having edges is turned upwards, and the cradle element is arranged so that a lower end surface having elongated beads is wound downwards and engages through the rings. an outer layer of the element is taken up for insertion of vdxter into a filling.
    Additional advantages are obtained if the door is further marked according to claim 7.
    COMPILATION OF DRAWING FIGURES The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. These show: Fig. 1 a partially cut-away perspective view of a device according to the invention, showing a number of panel elements; Fig. 2 is a sectional perspective view of a horizontal joint between two elements according to Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a view according to Fig. 2 of a vertical joint between two panel elements.
    PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 4 Fig. 1 shows a growth cradle 1 according to the invention consisting of four interconnected panel elements 2, 3. Since the elements 2, 3 are interconnected, only an irrigation unit is needed, which is arranged substantially at the upper end surface 5 of the upper panel elements 3. The panel elements 2, 3 have bushings 6 through their surface layers 9, at least on the sides which are intended as their front sides 7, but also the backs may be provided with bushings 6, for those applications where one wants to have a plant wall with plants on both sides. At the bottom, at the lower edge of the lower panel elements 2, a collecting vessel 8 is arranged, for collecting the water which seeps out from the bottom of the lower panel elements 2. A pump 16 for water supply to the plant cradle 1 is also arranged in connection with the collecting vessel 8.
    Each of the panel elements 2, 3 has surface layers 9, which, as mentioned above, are wholly or partly provided with bushings 6. Plants are placed in the bushings 6, so that their roots extend Mat a shorter or longer piece in the respective panel elements 2, 3 fy11- ning 15.
    The bushings 6 are arranged in different configurations, as in rows and columns, in rows where the bushings 6 are offset in relation to them on the row above, as shown in Fig. 1, in circles or in random configurations.
    The surface layer 9 consists of some suitable material, such as metal or hard plastic, which in itself is dimensionally stable, so that a self-supporting element is formed which does not require any special resurfacing to be held in an upright, substantially vertical, ldge. The material must also be in principle impermeable to water, apart from the bushings 6.
    This prevents water from evaporating through the surface layer 9 in a response-controlled manner.
    The water that is not consumed by the plants will be led neatly through the element 2, 3, and only the consumption of the plants controls how much water and nutrients need to be supplied. In addition, the concentration of the nutrient in the water is kept substantially constant throughout the element 2, 3.
    The filling 15 is advantageously a water-absorbent insulating board, which conducts water well. Excess water, which is not used directly by the plants, is not retained, but is not led under the influence of gravity. The plants do not risk becoming Overwatered as the excess water is drained away. Since the water does not stand still, there is no breeding ground for mold or a bad smell.
    The panel elements 2, 3 can be connected to each other, so that a plant cradle 1 of any size and configuration can be built up. The upper and lower end faces of the respective elements 2, 3 are open, so that water from an irrigation device can be let in and pass from an upper element 3 to a lower 2, and finally drained out at the bottom to the collecting vessel 8. To maintain the upper ones. With the advantages of minimizing the losses of water and fertilizers that pass through the element, it is desirable that the interconnection is lacquer-free. This is also an aesthetic advantage, in that the surface layers 9 of the elements 2, 3 are visible when plants are placed in the bushings, since lacquer could discolour the surfaces or cause deposits to drip.
    The panel elements 2, 3 can be anchored to each other by means of some of the existing fittings known in the field for connecting two elements positioned next to each other in one and the same plane. In a preferred embodiment, shown in the figures, especially in Fig. 2, a horizontal joint 13 is provided by a folding of the upper and lower edges of the surface layers 9, so that these can be interconnected with each other.
    Along the edges of the upper end surface 5 on each panel element 2, 3 a folding with at least one groove 10 is arranged, as shown in the sectional view in Fig. 2. In the preferred embodiment a corresponding folding is arranged with a bead 11 with complementary shape and location at the edges of the lower end face 12 of the respective panel elements 2, 3 Strictly speaking, the respective bead 11 in the preferred embodiment is formed in the same way as a groove 10, but with an orientation and mating which makes it easily connectable to a groove 10 on a adjacent elements. In the preferred embodiment there are folds with the groove 10 and the bead 11 on each side of the panel elements 2, 3. The grooves 10 and the beads 11 have several functions.
    A first function is that the folds with grooves 10 and beads 11 have a guiding function when the panel elements are to be positioned in one and the same plane to be fastened together 6 with the possible fittings discussed above. When the bead elements 11 cooperate with the grooves 10, the panel elements 2, 3 are guided in their entirety to stretch in the same plane, the installation and mounting, and skew in the growth cradle 1 built up by the panel elements 2, 3 is avoided. In an ideal situation, the guide is sufficient to hold the elements 2,3 in place in relation to each other, and further anchorages are superfluous.
    When the growth cradle 1 is built up, it is inevitable that its joints 13 between the elements 2, 3 are exposed to stresses. The folding, however, helps to stabilize the joint 13, so that its shape to absorb loads at an angle to the plane of the panel elements 2, 3 is high without the need for stronger external fittings. Namely, the forces transverse to the plane of the panel elements 2, 3 will be absorbed in the contact surfaces between the grooves 10 and the beads 11, along the stone part of the joint 13. This results in a considerably stronger joint 13.
    Finally, the seam also prevents leakage through the joint 13 from its filling material to the outside. Water moving downwards inside the upper panel element 3 will be trapped in the inside of the beads 11, as it is transported near the surface layer 9. When the insides of the beads 11 are filled with water, this will begin to seep over the inner edge 14 of the bead and further down into it. lower panel element 2. Inside the folds 10, 11 of the panel elements 2, 3, the end surfaces 5, 12 are open, so that the filling 15 in the respective panel elements 2, 3 is exposed. Water that seeps down into the central portion of the panel elements 2, 3 will thus be led straight neatly without any problems. Thus, the water with any added nutrient is retained inside the panel elements 2, 3, and is passed without leakage past a joint 13 between an upper 3 and a lower 2 panel element. Vdxtvdggar 1 of virtually any size can be built up of the input panel elements 2, 3.
    In the preferred embodiment shown in the figures, especially Fig. 3, internal fittings 18, which are arranged around longitudinal, angled flanges 19 on each of the two elements 3 which are connected, are used to provide a substantially vertical joint 20. Stabilizing edge plates 4 is arranged in the preferred embodiment, in order to hold the filling 15 of the elements 3 in place. The internal fittings 18 preferably extend along the entire or stone part of the length of the vertical joint 20, but shorter variants of the 7 fittings 18 are also conceivable. In that case, they are arranged close to the end surfaces of the panel elements 2, 3, in order to be accessible when interconnecting the panel elements 2, 3.
    If desired, additional fittings, which are known in the past, such as different types of flat jam or angle jam, can be used to anchor the growth cradle to a surface or in relation to an upright surface, such as a wall or cradle.
    The supply of water takes place via an irrigation unit, which comprises a perforated drip hose, which extends upwards from a pump 16 connected to a water supply. The water supply is regulated by regulating the pressure of the water coming out of the pump 16. The pressure must be sufficiently high to transport the water up to the upper end surface 5 of the upper element 3, and the excess pressure determines the amount of water supplied to the plant cradle 1. In a preferred embodiment a dosing unit, for supplying nutrients to the water, is also connected. to the pump 16. Sensors for sensing the moisture content in the cradle and the nutrient content in the supplied water are advantageously also included in the construction air supply of water and nutrients. An alternative is that the supply of water and nutrients is regulated manually.
    Since evaporation from the plant cradle is minimal, it will be easy to achieve a state of equilibrium where the water basket consumed by the plants is supplied via the drip hose. The actual consumption of the plants is decisive for the need for irrigation, and a surplus will be drained away to the collecting vessel 8, where it can be recirculated to the plant cradle 1 via the pump 16. The water distribution Mom the cradle 1 becomes relatively even, as not absorbed water is transported further neat. If the water supply is increased, the result will be an evenly distributed increase in the water supply in the entire plant cradle 1.
    At the side edges and at the upper end surface 5, roofing plates 21 are arranged lampwise, partly to prevent undesired evaporation and to achieve an aesthetically pleasing appearance, where both the open side surfaces of the panel elements and the hoses for water supply are hidden. A particularly preferred variant of the invention, which has just been described, is that prefabricated, insulated cradles are used as panels or either 2, 3. In this case, the company's hall / surface layer 9 and a filling 15 of insulating material are in place as results of a rational production in large series. The described folding is also found in certain types of cradle elements, with the purpose of preventing liquid from penetrating inside the surface layer. For this to work, the existing wall elements are intended to be mounted so that the ducted surface is to be watered down. As described above, an opposite function is obtained, i.e. that leakage from the inside out is prevented if the cradle elements are turned upside down.
    However, some adaptations of the existing, prefabricated wall elements must be made in order for a growth cradle 1 according to the invention to be the result. An irrigation system, comprising a drip hose, a collecting vessel 8 and a pump 16, shall be arranged in the manner described above. Of course, bushings 6, as described above, must be taken up in one of, or both, the surface layers 9.
    It is an aesthetic advantage if thick plates 21 are also arranged at the front surfaces and side surfaces which are not arranged next to any other cradle element. In addition, undesired evaporation is prevented, as described above. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, there is also a control unit for automatic control of the pump pressure based on ambient temperature and humidity in the cradle. In addition, insulated cradle elements of the type described provide a good adaptation to the environment with their modules. The cradle elements also have good conditions for interconnection, fastening and anchoring at the cradles Oven with its new area of use.
    The growth cradle according to the invention thus has a wide range of applications, for example public environments, offices, shopping centers, parks, urban environments. It can also function as a noise barrier at wagons, railway wagons, airports, or at machines, for example in factories. In all these functions, both single- and double-clad plant cradles can be used.
    Finally, the possibility of using temperate water inside the panel elements can be mentioned. Due to the good insulating properties of the elements, the risk of the water 9 freezing is reduced, and cultivation in the growth wall can be maintained alien during colder periods with a risk of frost.
    The invention may be further modified within the scope of the appended claims.
