Description

The utility model relates to horticulture in general and modular systems for arranging plant compositions in particular and can be used for growing plants, in particular flowers, berries, seedlings, and ornamental plants in greenhouses, indoors and outdoors.

Nowadays, many problems arise in arranging "ever-blooming" flowerbeds, borders, rock gardens, etc. (hereinafter referred to as compilation) in a cultivated plant rearing. The same applies to the problem of suitable plant positioning within a compilation and combining of plants in a compilation in which the plants require different types of care and surface fertilization and have a different root system depth. The problems also affect different flowering periods, different plant heights and different types of soil that allows the plants to grow better.

Modular systems for arranging plant compositions with external modules and internal modules for plant cultivation are known, which are arranged in corresponding external modules (see, for example, the description of the invention of WO 2009116228 , IPC A01G 9/00, A01G 1/00, published on 24/09/2009; CH 102124916 A IPC A01G 9/02, published on 20/07/2011; US 2012036773 (A1) , IPC A01G 9/02, published on 16/02/2012).

The main drawback of similar devices is that the external module is unable to accommodate the different height internal modules for cultivating plants with different root systems with the top edges of the different height internal modules at the same level.

The prototype of the claimed technical solution is a modular system for arranging plant compositions comprising external modules and internal modules for plants arranged in corresponding external modules (see for example the description of the invention of WO 2009116228 , IPC A01G 9/00, A01G 1/00, published on 24/09/2009).

A disadvantage of the prototype is that each of the external modules is unable to accommodate the different height internal modules for cultivating plants with different root systems, with the top edges of internal modules of different heights at the same level. This disadvantage is caused by the prototype intended for cultivating the same (or very similar) plants in identical internal containers.

The technical result is to provide arranging plant compositions by placing an internal module in each of the external modules, the internal module being selected from a plurality of different height internal modules for plants having different root systems, and the top edges of the internal modules different heights to the same level.

The subject matter of the claimed technical solution is characterized in that it comprises external modules and internal modules which are respectively arranged in the corresponding external module; whereas, unlike the prototype, each external module is provided in a form whose cross-section is of any geometric configuration, preferably the same for each external module; wherein the position of each internal module for plants in the corresponding external module is fixed by means of contact with a side wall of the external module or by contact with the bottom of the external module either directly or via intermediate elements; wherein each internal and / or external module is provided with openings in the sidewalls and / or floor for excess water drainage and floor ventilation within the internal module.

The subject matter of the technical solution is disclosed by means of the drawings which specify possible embodiments.

1 is an axonometric view of an external module according to the first embodiment;

2 Fig. 10 is a plan view of the first embodiment;

3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA according to the first embodiment;

4 is an axonometric view of an external module according to the second embodiment;

5 is a plan view of the second embodiment;

6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA according to the second embodiment.

The modular planting arrangement includes external ones modules 1 and internal modules 2 for plants, each in the corresponding external modules 1 are arranged ( 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 ). The external module 1 may be provided with a shape whose cross section has any geometric configuration, preferably the same for each external module 1 ( 1 . 2 . 3 . 5 ). For example, this may be of square, rectangular ( 4 . 5 ), hexagonal ( 1 . 2 ), round or irregular cross-sectional shape. The position of each internal module 2 for plants is in the corresponding external module 1 by means of a contact with a side wall of an external module 1 or by means of a contact with the bottom of the external module 1 either fixed directly or via intermediate elements. For example, this may be by means of contact between the top edge of each upper module 1 and the upper edge flanges of the internal module 2 or by means of a contact between the projections on the outside of the upper part of the internal module 2 and / or the projections on the inside of the upper part of the external module 1 or by means of a contact between the projections on the bottom of the internal module 2 and / or the projections on the bottom of the external module 1 be provided.

Fixing the internal modules 2 in the external modules 1 represents the top edges of the internal modules 2 ready, which are arranged at the same common level.

The shape of the internal modules 2 in their tops is identical to the inside of the external modules 1 ,

The bottom and / or side walls of each internal and / or external module 1 . 2 are provided with openings for excess water drainage either into the floor or to the areas of the area where these modules are located, as well as for floor ventilation within the internal module 2 , The openings in the external module 1 and the internal module 2 can be arranged in a sieve-like structure.

One or more external modules 1 are embedded in a location where an assembly is to be placed if the claimed modular system is used for arranging outdoor plant compositions, or these are arranged on a flat surface, for example when the beds are arranged on a building roof. The external modules 1 may be attached to each other by means of fixing elements to provide a reliable three-dimensional structure. The external modules 1 are assembled in a three-dimensional structure of the module system for arranging plant compositions according to the shape of a composition to be arranged.

The external module 1 can be provided with removable interior parts on which the internal modules 2 load with their flanges. The pattern of the assembly to be arranged is formed by means of the internal parts. Use of the latter allows the internal modules 2 different size can be used. In addition, it is possible in this way to prepare for further growth of the composting central plants.

If the internal modules 2 are used for separate plant cultivation, it is easy to "always flowering" compilations by employing the arrangement of the claimed internal modules 2 to arrange for a separate plant cultivation, in the plants in the external modules 1 bloom.

In the case of the claimed modular system for arranging plant compositions, defects occurring during planting in the conventional composition, when the larger plants appear to be arranged at the front and can only be corrected by replanting, are easily changed by changing the positions of the front ones and rear internal modules 2 corrected.

The problem of combining plants into an overall composition in which the plants require different types of soil and surface fertilization to be used is achieved by means of a separate cultivation of plants in different internal modules 2 solved.

The problem of combining plants into an overall composition in which the plants have different root system depths is due to the internal modules used 2 solved with a different height.

When arranging decorative lids on some of the external modules 1 It is possible to provide the passageways for providing access to the plants or walking.

• 1. Ein Anordnen von Zusammenstellungen erfordert keine Neubepflanzung
• 2. Pflanzen stehen immer zur Verfügung, wie erforderlich verändert zu werden.
• 3. Die Pflanzen, die unterschiedliche Böden erfordern und unterschiedliche Wurzelsystemarten aufweisen, können kombiniert werden.
• 4. Da die externen und die internen Module 1, 2 vereinheitlicht sind und die Notwendigkeit einer Neubepflanzung vermieden wird, ist dieses für eine schnelle Anordnung einer erforderlichen Pflanzenzusammenstellung zugelassen.

The advantages of the claimed modular system for arranging plant compositions are as follows:

• 1. Arranging compilations does not require replanting
• 2. Plants are always available to be changed as needed.
• 3. The plants, which require different soils and have different root system types, can be combined.
• 4. As the external and the internal modules 1 . 2 standardized and the need for replanting is avoided, this is allowed for a quick arrangement of a necessary plant composition.
