Description

DESCRIPTION

Multifunctional and modular urban structure

Technical sector

The present invention belongs to the field of smart and sustainable urban furniture, particularly the development of multifunctional structures to improve the urban environment through renewable energy systems, hydroponic infrastructure, and digital connectivity.

Background of the invention

Cities face challenges such as a shortage of green spaces and high building concentrations that limit the planting of vegetation. Currently, solutions such as Wi-Fi-enabled benches or solar charging stations exist, but these lack integration between energy generation systems, sustainability, and community services into a unified framework.

Among the solutions known in the market, we find products such as:

Enel X Smart Bench: Urban station with solar charging points.

Enel X Solar Light Pole: A pole with lighting and solar panels. However, these solutions do not include features such as rainwater harvesting and storage, hydroponic systems, substrate-integrated vegetation, multifunctional spaces, digital services, or environmental monitoring.

The device is presented as an innovative alternative that incorporates these elements, along with artificial intelligence for autonomous garden management and monitoring, into a single energy- and water-independent device.

Explanation of the invention

The multifunctional and modular urban structure integrates:

• Generation of renewable energy through solar panels (9), which power all the device's systems, including irrigation, connectivity and digital services.

• Hydroponic system (1) with recirculating irrigation, which uses a water storage tank (2) with the capacity to collect and manage rainwater, maximizing the use of water resources.

• Coworking space, equipped with USB charging points, WiFi connectivity (13), integrated benches (4) and a central table, designed to facilitate collaborative work activities in public spaces.

• Environmental monitoring using sensors (14) that collect real-time data on temperature, humidity and air quality.

Artificial intelligence, which acts as a smart assistant to enhance the user experience, offering interactive services through a touchscreen (6). In addition, AI is responsible for the automated irrigation management, monitoring, and maintenance of the hydroponic system and planters.
