Description

Technical area

[0001] The present invention relates to a filter housing for grow cabinets according to the preamble of claim 1. In particular, the present invention relates to a self-supporting filter housing for grow cabinets (hereinafter also referred to as grow tents, grow boxes, plant tents) for cultivating plants, which filter housing consists of several magnetically connectable housing parts and is designed to accommodate an air supply filter (filter medium). State of the art

[0002] External filter boxes connected to a grow tent via a hose are known from the state of the art. These air intake filters are installed outside the grow tent. Furthermore, air intake has largely been neglected in home cultivation in grow tents. The disadvantages are manifold. Installation is time-consuming and complicated, making quick setup and dismantling impossible. Conventional systems are relatively expensive. The attachment of the air intake hose must be individually adapted due to the different air intake openings of individual manufacturers and grow tent variants. Previously available solutions also take up significantly more space and are not aesthetically pleasing for home cultivation. Description of the invention

[0003] The present invention is based on the object of eliminating the aforementioned disadvantages and of creating a filter housing which enables simple retrofitting of an air supply filter to grow cabinets.

[0004] According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the filter housing according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

[0005] The filter housing according to the invention initially consists of several housing parts which can be reversibly connected to one another, wherein at least one housing part has one or more air passage openings and at least one housing part forms a filter cavity provided for receiving a filter medium.

[0006] The filter housing according to the invention is characterized in that at least one first housing part comprises at least one magnet and / or at least one magnetically attractable element and at least one second housing part comprises at least one magnet and / or at least one magnetically attractable element, wherein the magnet(s) and / or the magnetically attractable element(s) are formed and arranged on the at least two housing parts to magnetically attract one another for the reversible connection of the at least two housing parts.

[0007] Grow tents currently on the market can now be easily retrofitted with the filter housing according to the invention without requiring much effort or damaging the tent. The filter housing can also be easily uninstalled and reinstalled at any time. By inserting a filter medium into the filter cavity (filter basket) formed by at least one housing part, the incoming air drawn into the grow tent is kept free of dust, etc. (the purity of the filtered air depends on the type of filter inserted into the holder). The filter medium can also be easily changed. It is space-saving and aesthetically pleasing, and thus does not disrupt the living atmosphere, unlike other solutions.Thanks to the special design of the filter housing, there is little to no light leakage through the air intake openings, which also positively impacts the living environment (depending on the filter medium). Furthermore, larger filter housings can be individually mounted on smaller air intake openings. Brief description of the drawings

[0008] Further objects, features, advantages and possible applications of the filter housing according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawings.

[0009] The drawings show Fig. 1 the filter housing according to the invention in an advantageous embodiment in an exploded view; Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b the assembled filter housing in different views. Implementation of the invention

[0010] As from Fig. 1, a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that at least two housing parts 11, 12 have at least one flat connecting profile 112, 122, wherein at least two connecting profiles 112, 122 are designed such that they lie directly or indirectly flat against one another when magnetically connected.

[0011] The at least one magnet 111 and / or the at least one element is preferably arranged circumferentially around the at least one air passage opening 100, 110, 120.

[0012] The at least one magnet 111 and / or the at least one element can advantageously - as can be seen from the Fig. 1-2b - be arranged on the edge of a housing part 10, 11, 12.

[0013] The housing parts 10, 11, 12 can be round, oval or polygonal, whereby - as can be seen from the Fig. 1, Fig. 2b - it is particularly advantageous if the housing part 12 is designed in a ring-like manner, which can be attached as a holding ring to an inner wall of a grow tent 2 for mounting the filter housing 1 according to the invention.

[0014] Most preferably, at least two housing parts 10, 11 are hollow-cylindrical and can be connected to one another in a form-fitting manner to form the filter cavity 10.1.

[0015] A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that at least two housing parts 10, 11 each have a further passage opening 101, 111, wherein the at least two further passage openings 101, 111 are arranged correspondingly on the at least two housing parts 10, 11 in such a way that they form a common passage opening on the filter housing 1.

[0016] The filter housing 1 can further comprise at least one sealing means 13 which is to be arranged in a form-fitting manner between at least two housing parts 11, 12 and which is designed to enclose the air passage opening 100, 110, 120 on the outside.

[0017] Furthermore, it can comprise at least one adhesive 14 which is to be arranged in a form-fitting manner between at least two housing parts 11, 12 and which is designed to enclose the air passage opening 100, 110, 120 on the outside, wherein the sealing means 13 and / or the adhesive 14 can be annular. More specific details on the drawings

[0018] In the Fig.In the exemplary embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figures 1-2b, the filter housing according to the invention preferably consists of two identical, approximately 2-3 cm high, hollow, cylindrical or rectangular housing parts 10, 11, which can be inserted into one another to tightly enclose a filter medium 3. The filter housing 1 is preferably provided with air slots on the top and bottom so that the supply air is guided through the filter medium in a controlled manner. The filter housing 1 is preferably designed so that it can be reopened with the fingers by gently pulling on the outer filter basket part.

[0019] The filter housing 1 has preferably neodymium magnets and a sealing strip (compression band) 13 on the outer edge. The sealing strip 13 is ~3 mm higher than the magnets and thus enables a clean seal against the grow tent wall, even on uneven surfaces (e.g. at seams).

[0020] The second housing part 12 (retaining ring) is also equipped with neodymium magnets in this version and also has a light adhesive coating (adhesive ring) 14. It can be glued to the grow tent wall (film) in the first step. It can also be removed again without leaving any residue.

[0021] Application: The second housing part 12 (retaining ring) is first glued to the inner or outer wall of the grow tent over the desired air intake opening. Then the two housing parts 10, 11, which form the filter basket, are placed on the opposite side of the grow tent wall. The filter basket 10, 11 is held in place by magnets. To change the filter medium, the entire filter basket or just the outer part can be removed and then simply reattached to the same position. The change can therefore also take place directly on the grow tent wall without having to remove the entire filter basket. The filter basket can be easily removed (slide) with one hand and, thanks to the magnets, can be easily placed back in the same place.

[0022] The correct filter housing size must be selected for the individual air intakes of the various grow tents. You can also choose between filter housings with or without cable entry / negative pressure indicators. All variants ideally have the same design.
