It relates to the capsule and charging platform. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE 15 Controlled-release capsules release water or plant nutrient-containing liquids into specific containers. It can be used to provide a growth medium for a period of time. This The capsules are charged by the user by immersing them in water or a nutrient solution. and then placed in the growing medium. However, it is known that In applications, charging the capsules with liquid is mostly done by the user. 20 It relies on manual soaking or immersion processes. During manual charging procedures, the capsule remains immersed in liquid. the duration of retention, the position of the capsule in the liquid, the depth of immersion, and the capsule itself. The applied movement can vary depending on the user. This variability is the same. capsules with different properties absorb different amounts of liquid and the capsules are 25 different from each other This can cause them to exhibit release behaviors, especially in laboratories. In experiments and student applications, these operator-dependent differences are observed in the experiment. This reduces the comparability and reproducibility of the results. In known systems, the capsule being immersed in liquid ensures that the capsule reaches its intended target. This alone does not indicate that it is loaded with a certain amount of liquid. The capsule's cycle start date is 30 The extent to which the capsule is charged is not measured by its mass and its mass after charging. This cannot be numerically verified. Therefore, an underloaded capsule and an overloaded capsule. It is not possible to make a measurement-based distinction between a loaded capsule and only Acceptance is based on the immersion time. 2 The capsules' material, geometry, nanofiber layer thickness, and absorption capacity. And the number of charge-discharge cycles it has previously undergone can vary. This depends on... the required immersion time and target loading rate for different capsules and the movement profile may also vary. However, in known applications, the capsule Monitoring calibration information on a per-capacitor basis and, when the relevant capsule is identified, capsule-specific 5 It is not possible to apply the parameters automatically. The capsule material and the devices used to charge the capsule. Treating them independently also creates another technical problem. The reusability of the capsule does not depend solely on the capsule material. The capsule's Loading the capsule with varying amounts uncontrollably in each cycle prevents it from reaching its target of 10. deviating from the working order and obtained in multiple charge-discharge cycles This can cause the results to change, especially if the capsule is left out for longer than necessary. Failure to keep the nanofiber in the liquid for a sufficient period or to verify the loading level This can lead to the layer being used outside of its intended operating conditions. Storage carried out in open containers, bottles or similar fixed structures 15 During these processes, the components in the liquid fertilizer gradually release substances into the container over time. They can concentrate or precipitate in these regions. The capsules' caps the liquid the capsules are exposed to when it is present at different levels The conditions may vary. The capsules are placed in a liquid at a specified temperature. an automated structure that enables holding at a defined depth and with a defined motion profile 20 If not available, the capsules must be charged under uniform and repeatable conditions. It is becoming more difficult. In the current state of the art, it can also be charged with water or liquid fertilizer. capsules, an RFID-based identification structure that recognizes the capsules, capsule-specific calibration parameters, automatically moving perforated capsule tray and 25 A single functional system for load cell measurement that verifies the load level by mass. an integrated platform focused on education and research that brings together various sectors in its chain It is not available.

Another aim of the invention is to prevent liquid from entering the ceramic core of the capsule. The loading process with leak-proof coating is mainly based on hydrophilic polymer-based nanofiber 15 The goal is to ensure that this occurs on the outer layer. Thanks to this structure, ceramics the core and the RFID chip inside the core from the direct effect of the liquid The aim is to protect it. Another purpose of the invention is to prevent the capsule from containing too little or too much material.

The hardware components work together to enable the recognition of capsules (100), capsule-specific the application of parameters, the performance of the controlled immersion process, and This makes it possible to verify the loading level. The basis of the invention is that the capsule (100) is a passive element capable of absorbing only liquid. not being used, each capsule (100) being identified via RFID, to the identified capsule Automatic retrieval of the charging parameters of (100), the capsule (100) is determined immersion in the liquid under a specific duration, depth, and motion profile, and the resulting Mass verification of the load level via load cell sensor (240) It constitutes. 20 In the system covered by the invention, the capsule (100) structure and the charging system are independent of each other. not as two products, but as a specific capsule (100) in multiple charge-discharge cycles a functionally connected platform that enables its use within the work environment It is structured in this way. In this context, the physical structure of the capsule (100) is RFID based Identification, capsule-specific calibration parameters, automatic immersion 25 Load verification based on mechanism (230) and load cell sensor (240) is the same technique. They work together within the system chain. The subject of the invention is a capsule (100), a ceramic covered with a leakproof material. core (110), an RFID chip (130) located inside the ceramic core (110) and hydrophilic polymer-based nanofiber wrapped around the outer surface of the ceramic core (110) 30 It consists of layers (140). The capsule (100) is spherical or ellipsoidal in shape. It can be formed. The outer diameter of the capsule (100) is between 10 mm and 50 mm. Capsule (100) geometry and size, capsule (100) liquid transport its capacity, the experimental or breeding environment in which it will be used, and the perforated charging system. 6 according to the capsule placement area allocated on the capsule tray (210) It can be determined. The ceramic core (110) forms the mechanical support section of the capsule (100). It brings. The ceramic core (110) also contains the RFID chip (130) capsule (100) positioning within and hydrophilic polymer-based nanofiber layer (140) 5 It ensures that the ceramic core (110) is transported in the outer part of the capsule (100). Its outer surface is impermeable to liquids, has low water absorption tendencies, and is hydrophobic. It is coated with a leak-proof coating (120). The coating in question (120) is: silicone-based polymer, epoxy resin, polyether-based polyurethane, parylene C or It may contain at least one of the fluoropolymer-based materials. Coating (120), 10 will form a continuous and non-porous barrier on the surface of the ceramic core (110) It is applied in this way. In this way, the capsule (100) is charged with water or liquid fertilizer. during which the liquid passes into the ceramic core (110), ceramic core (110) absorption by and RFID chip located inside the ceramic core (110) (130) contact with the liquid is prevented. Thus, the holding and transport of the liquid is 15 mainly in the hydrophilic polymer-based nanofiber layer (140) outside the capsule (100) It is happening. Hydrophilic polymer-based nanofiber layer outside the ceramic core (110) (140), absorbs water or liquid fertilizer and the time in the environment where the capsule (100) will be used It forms the active capsule section that releases energy. This nanofiber layer is 20 (140); polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyacrylic acid or derivatives, at least one of cellulose-based polymers and polyamide-based polymers. It may contain polymers that tend to dissolve in water, in a cross-linked state. or it can be used in mixture with a water-insoluble carrier polymer. Nanofiber layer (140), with its high surface area and hydrophilic functional 25 These groups enable the absorption and transport of liquid within the layer. The aforementioned nanofiber layer (140) is a hydrophobic and waterproof coating (120). It is applied by wrapping it around the outer surface of the coated ceramic core (110). The subject of nanofiber layer (140) is single layer or multilayer It can be adjusted. The thickness of the nanofiber layer (140) is between 50 micrometers and 500 30 It can range between micrometers.

It releases moisture as a result of loading. The food capsule (100) is 10 Nutrient solution resulting from loading the nanofiber outer layer (140) with liquid fertilizer It carries out the release. Water capsule (100) and food capsule (100) have the same basic capsule architecture. It is possible. The type of capsule (100) is determined by the identification information contained in the RFID chip (130). It is related. Thus, the capsule (100) is either a water capsule or a food capsule. The system can determine and automatically select the appropriate charging protocol for the capsule type. It can be selected as such. Each capsule (100) contains at least one RFID chip (130) in its ceramic core (110) RFID chip (130) enables the capsule (100) to be distinguished by the system. It carries a capsule identity that provides. Capsule 20 read via RFID chip (130) its identity, the calibration parameters previously defined for the relevant capsule (100) It is used in calling. Capsule (100) specific calibration parameters at least target loading rate, immersion time and movement profile of the capsule (100) It includes. The immersion depth can also be determined specifically for the capsule (100) and It can be applied during the automatic charging process. Capsule ID is also capsule (100) 25 type, reference dry mass of capsule (100), reference mass after full impregnation and can be associated with the measurement protocol to be applied for the capsule (100). Thus different capsule (100) types or different suction characteristics in the same charging system Capsules (100) can be used. Calibration parameters relating to the capsule (100) are directly on the RFID chip (130) or 30 In a record structure associated with the capsule ID read from the RFID chip (130) It can be held. The basic function of the RFID chip (130) is to hold the capsule (100) of the charging system. recognition and pre-defined parameters for the capsule (100) by the user Furthermore, it enables automatic calling without the need for manual input. RFID 8 The capsule recognition process based on the same capsule, especially in reused capsules (100) (100) processing under the operating conditions specified for it in each charge cycle This allows the capsules (100) to be taken together in terms of appearance. despite having different absorption capacities and different nanofiber layer (140) structures or if it has a different intended use, the wrong charging protocol 5 Its implementation is being prevented. The charging system described in the invention is a stainless steel container into which water or liquid fertilizer can be placed. a steel container (200), a perforated capsule tray (210) into which the container (200) can be lowered, capsule a motorized or actuated table (210) that moves up and down movement mechanism (230), load cell sensor (240) associated with capsule tray (210), 10 RFID reader unit (250) for reading the RFID chips (130) of the capsules (100) and a control that enables the charging process to be carried out according to capsule-specific parameters (100) It contains unit (260). Stainless steel container (200), water or liquid in which the capsules (100) will be charged. It contains fertilizer. Stainless steel material, container (200) repeated 15 with liquid. It should be suitable for the surface, cleanable, and suitable for research or educational settings. This ensures that it can be reused. Perforated capsule tray (210), stainless steel for one or more capsules (100). Capsule tray ensures that the capsule is immersed in the charging liquid inside the capsule (200). (210) holes on the capsule plate (210) lower the liquid into the capsule plate 20 (210) allows it to pass through and reach the area around the capsules (100). It provides. The perforated structure also allows the capsules to be removed from the liquid when the capsule tray (210) is removed. (100) free liquid not retained in the stainless steel container (200) This allows the flow to occur. Thus, the mass measurement performed after charging... as little free fluid as possible accumulated on the capsule tray (210) 25 It is ensured that it is affected. Capsules (100) can be placed directly on the perforated capsule tray (210). or to maintain the position of the capsules (100) on the capsule tray (210). Capsule placement compartments (220) can be found. Capsule tray (210) is a single processing of capsule (100) or multiple capsules (100) in the same charge cycle 30 It can be arranged in a way that is suitable for receiving it. Motorized or actuated movement that moves the perforated capsule plate (210). mechanism (230), linear actuator (231), screw shaft mechanism (232) or lifting The movement mechanism (233) can be in the form of a lever mechanism. The movement mechanism (230) is the capsule 9 with the loading and measuring position of the table (210) on the stainless steel container (200) movement between immersion position inside stainless steel container (200) The mechanism of movement (230) causes the capsule plate (210) to immerse only in liquid. It is not limited to enabling its lowering and removal from the liquid. Capsule tray (210), According to the movement profile determined specifically for the capsule (100), during the immersion process 5 It can be moved up and down in a controlled manner. The motion profile is fixed at the specified immersion depth of the capsule table (210). holding, moving up and down at certain intervals, or keeping it stationary and This can involve the simultaneous application of different movement stages. The movement of the capsule tray (210) is read from the capsule's (100) RFID chip (130) 10 This is done according to the parameters called based on the identity information. Thus the capsules (100) move in the liquid as estimated by the user. instead of being made to work, a repeatable mechanical movement pattern for the same capsule type (100) is being implemented. Immersion depth, contact of the outer nanofiber layer (140) of the capsule (100) with the liquid 15 It determines the level. The capsule tray (210) is determined specifically for the capsule (100). It is lowered into a stainless steel container (200) to a depth of 200. Thus, the capsule (100) its position in the liquid and the part in contact with the liquid are under control It is kept. The immersion time is also automatically determined according to the RFID ID of the capsule (100). It is determined. The capsule tray (210) charges for the defined time for the capsule (100) 20 It is kept in the liquid and automatically released from the liquid when the time is up. This structure allows the user to monitor the immersion time. There is no need to do this and the capsules (100) are not too short or too long. Loading differences resulting from being contained in liquid are reduced. The system in question includes at least one load cell sensor associated with the capsule tray (210) 25 (240) is located. Load cell sensor (240), capsule or capsules (100) cycle measurement of the initial mass and the mass after being charged with liquid It provides. The load cell sensor (240) can be integrated into the capsule tray (210). or in a connection section where the load carried by the capsule plate (210) can be detected It can be positioned. The mass of the capsule plate (210) is tare 30 in the measurement system. It can be considered as a value. Load cell sensor (240); electrical, hydraulic, The load carried by the pneumatic or capsule plate (210) is given as mass or force information. It can be structured according to another measurement principle that can be converted. Before charging, the capsule’s (100) cycle starting mass load cell sensor (240) is measured by means of. The mass of the capsule (100) after complete impregnation is also measured by means of. This is determined within the scope of the calibration performed for the capsule (100). The capsule (100) Reference mass after full impregnation with the capsule's (100) RFID ID It is correlated. The cycle starting mass, measured before each charging cycle, is 5. It can be recorded as measurement data for the relevant charge cycle. Thus, the capsule (100) Reference mass values ​​of the capsule (100) when it is recognized again in subsequent charging cycles It can be called automatically. The capsule (100) can be called at the specified time, depth and movement. After being immersed in liquid under the profile, the capsule tray (210) automatically It is removed from the liquid. Then the mass of the capsule (100) after charging load cell 10 The mass measured after charging is measured by the sensor (240) of the capsule (100) cycle. by comparing the capsule's initial mass with its mass after full impregnation (100) loading level is determined. Thus, the capsule (100) only has a certain level. It is not considered sufficient that the capsule (100) has been kept in liquid for a certain period of time. Whether it actually loaded the intended amount of liquid is measured as 15 It is confirmed. Load cell sensor (240) based verification, in different capsules (100) or the same differences in absorption that may occur in different charging cycles of the capsule (100) It enables the determination of the target mass of the capsule (100) after charging. Whether the value corresponding to the loading level has been reached is determined through this measurement. 20 It is reported that the capsule (100) did not reach the targeted loading level. If determined, the capsule in question (100) is incomplete or It can be considered an unverified charging cycle. Thus, insufficient. Direct experiment or capsules (100) loaded with an amount of water or liquid fertilizer Transfer to the growing medium is prevented. Capsule (100) cycle start 25 Measurement of its mass and its mass after charging via load cell sensor (240, Capsule (100) performance can only be assessed by visual observation or user immersion numerical tracking regardless of its duration It provides. The operation of the platform subject to the invention, recognition of the capsule (100), capsule (100) 30 Calling specific charging parameters, controlled immersion of the capsule (100) into the liquid the stages of immersion and verification of the loading level of the capsule (100) It is based on a sequence.

RFID chip (130) After reading the capsule ID, the target loading rate for the capsule (100), Immersion time, immersion depth, and motion profile are automatically retrieved. If the capsule is a (100) water capsule or a food capsule, the relevant capsule type is also specified. It is identified via RFID identification. 5 Initial mass of capsule or capsules (100), capsule plate (210) It is measured by load cell sensor (240) before being lowered into the liquid. Cycle start After the mass measurement, the motion mechanism (230) is activated and the perforated capsule tray (210) stainless steel container (200) containing water or liquid It is lowered into fertilizer. Capsule tray (210), specified immersion for capsule (100) 10 Capsules (100) are moved to the defined depth. It is kept in liquid throughout the immersion period. The capsule tray (210) can be held in place or down according to the movement profile defined for the capsule (100). It can be moved upwards. This movement is defined by the capsules (100) with liquid and It enables charging under a repeatable mechanical contact pattern. 15 When the specified immersion time is completed, the capsule tray (210) automatically It is removed from the liquid. After the capsule tray (210) reaches the measuring position and free liquid not retained on capsules (100) through holes stainless steel coarse (200) after flowing back the mass of the capsules (100) after charging load cell sensor (240) It is measured with. The mass value after charging is the initial cycle mass of the capsule (100) and 20 This evaluation is based on the total impregnation mass. As a result, the loading level of the capsule (100) is numerically verified. If it is determined that the capsule (100) has reached the target loading level The charging process for capsule (100) is considered complete and capsule (100) is considered a perforated capsule. It is taken from the tray (210). In the controlled release test of the charged capsule (100), 25 It can be used in student practice or in a training environment. The invention encompasses RFID-based capsule recognition, controlled immersion, and load cell technology. sensor (240) based load verification independent auxiliary features These operations are not. These operations recharge the capsule (100) within the same operating order. These are interconnected technical steps that enable identification. RFID-based identification 30 If not done, the immersion time to be applied to the capsule (100), target loading The level and movement profile cannot be determined automatically. Controlled immersion. If not done, the capsule's (100) contact time, depth and movement with the liquid will not affect the user. It varies depending on the load cell sensor (240). If the load cell sensor (240) verification is not performed. 12 the applied immersion process creates the target loading level in the capsule (100) It is not possible to measure whether it does not create. Therefore, the reusability of the capsule (100) It is not merely the physical immersion of the capsule (100) in liquid more than once. The reusable operating mode allows the same capsule (100) to be charged in each charging cycle. being recognized by its identity, being charged under the parameters set for it, and 5 This is ensured by measuring and verifying the load level reached.
