Greenhouse

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes an improved greenhouse design that uses wide, ship-like roof panels stabilized by integrated lattice structures. A unique structural frame layout, partly outside and partly inside the covering surface, allows for a larger, unobstructed internal space, better natural light entry, and enhanced ventilation. The design supports use of various covering materials (glass, plastic, foil) and enables efficient construction with reduced material usage.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Commercial plant cultivation in horticulture and agriculture
• Botanical gardens and plant conservatories
• Research greenhouses for universities and agricultural institutes
• Retail garden centers and nurseries
• Livestock or small animal shelters needing natural light and ventilation
• Recreational or educational spaces with a greenhouse climate

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Increases usable internal space by minimizing interior supports, allowing more flexible use and easier movement inside
• Improves light transmission and ventilation, creating better growing conditions for plants
• Enables energy and material savings due to a more efficient structural design
• Supports various roof forms and covering materials, offering flexibility to adapt to local climate and material availability
• Reduces construction and maintenance costs by simplifying frame and roof structure
• Helps maintain optimal greenhouse climate without complex systems, aiding plant quality and sustainable, biological farming
• Enhances wind and load resistance without significant increases in material or build height

Patent Abstract

Greenhouse has wide ship-like roof tiles (6a) statically stabilized using integrated lattice rails (2) . That part (1a) of the bearing frame (1) situated above the level of the guttering (8) is outside the covering surface and the remaining part (1b) of the bearing frame is inside the covering surface. The bearing frame is situated along an oblique axis (a) to the greenhouse, and can also be situated along the lengthwise axis of the greenhouse.
