EP1312718A2 - Tub for plants as wall element and noise protection wall constructed therewith - Google Patents

Abstract

The plant tub has a free-standing structure, with upper and lower profiles to lock into each other with a force fit in a dry bond. They can be erected to form a wall or line terraces. Rain water can reach the plants, as they are only partially shrouded by the tub shape. The tubs are of concrete, or recycled plastics.

Description

(2) 1. Technical field :

Devices for area limitation and / or slope cladding, soundproofing and protecting from sound, can be planted on both sides, as a free-standing Walls or as retaining walls against the ground, preferably made of high-density concrete or plastic (recycled materials). So plantable, soundproofing forms.

(2) 2. State of the art :

The plantable forms offered on the market are mostly artificial Concrete stones. These are stacked exactly on top of each other the top row of layers can be planted. Soundproofing is minimal Set back against a slope, only narrow ones open Plant fields that give slightly better sound insulation values when vegetated. In addition, these forms have the distinctive property of water absorption and increased release into the atmosphere (evaporation).

(2) 3. Problems :

The areas are in residential areas, especially in terraced houses comparatively low for plantings. The border area to the neighbor is often problematic in this regard because of the ideas and ideals experience shows that there are very different neighbors.

One often sees wooden or plastic fencing as Privacy screens, which take up little floor space, but which Intake of plants are hardly or unsuitable. The propagation of sound is naturally little impeded in wicker fences.

Walls made of conventional plantable forms are exactly one above the other layered in the covered forms not to be planted and are not very stable in the horizontal plane, unless they are with Adhesive mortar connected. Then, however, this can happen when canceling one Wall destroy the plantable forms and because of the adhesive mortar lead to disposal problems.

The undesirable property of water absorption in these forms and release into the atmosphere (evaporation) through the material and Warming from the sun's rays removes some of the plants the earth's moisture. These plantable forms also see integrable irrigation system does not have what the used To irrigate plants automatically.

A solution was therefore sought in which the plantings were arranged one above the other lying layers are provided and after a short time Growing time the wall is completely green. The wall should also be be free-standing and allow planting on both sides as well as automated irrigation and pipes for energy and provide information. It must be stable and plantable Shapes should still wear away without breakage and be reusable to meet changing needs. The soundproofing has also of outstanding importance.

(2) 4. Presentation of the Invention : (Problem Solving)

Form A ist nur einseitig zu bepflanzen, sie kann jedoch 180° um die Hochachse gedreht in den Mauerverband eingesetzt werden.

Form B ist darüber hinaus beidseitig bepflanzbar und dient bei höheren freistehenden Mauern als größere Basis.

Form C ist oberer Abschluss, um den Kanal für die oberste Reihe der frontoffenen Formen A bzw. B zu überdecken.

Hereby plantable soundproofing forms for the garden and. Landscaping registered. They are preferably made from high-density concrete with ducts for pipes that are used for the automated irrigation of the plants used. In addition, the channels are used to hold cables for energy, such as for lighting the gardens or for information facilities. Forms A, B and C (Fig.2a-c) form a related system

Form A can only be planted on one side, but it can be used in the wall structure when rotated 180 ° around the vertical axis.

Form B can also be planted on both sides and serves as a larger base for higher free-standing walls.

Form C is the upper end to cover the channel for the top row of open forms A and B.

1. Die Form A weist frontseitig eine schalldämmende Öffnung zum rinnenförmigen Pflanzbereich auf, der den Wurzelballen dadurch ausreichenden Halt gibt, daß der Pflanzbereich im Querschnitt nicht halbkreisförmig gestaltet ist und so ein sonst mögliches Herausdrehen der Pflanzen samt Erde aus der Öffnung verhindert (Fig. 1a). Die Form B besitzt einen zweiten Pflanzbereich auf der rückwärtigen Seite der Form (Fig. 1b). -Siehe Anspruch 1-.

2. Das Trockenverbindungssystem der Formen wird vom Profil auf der Oberseite der Formen A und B gebildet, welches in das an der Unterseite der Formen A, B und C kraftschlüssig greift und ein vor oder zurück der Formenreihe darüber, oder 180° um die Hochachse verdrehte Setzen einzelner oder mehrerer Formen in einer Reihe ermöglicht (Fig.3a). Das dargestellte Trockenverbindungssystem ist in soweit Stand der Technik (Siehe DBGM 8603954). Das Profil hat auf der Oberseite der Formen eine Neuheit, welche in Bezug auf die Unterseite eine Lücke bildet, die zusätzliche technische Funktionen übernimmt (Fig. 3b). -Siehe Anspruch 2-.Diese Lücke dient erstens der Aufnahme für das lose Verbindungsteil gemäß Fig.4, ein gestanztes und dem Profil angepaßten Formpressteil, vorzugsweise aus nicht rostendem Stahlblech, welches zusammen mit den darüber gesetzten Formen den Verband von nicht im Verband gesetzter Formen herstellt. Auf das lose Verbindungsteil kann verzichtet werden, indem die Formen im Verband übereinander sitzen. Der Längenausgleich erfolgt durch gekürzte Formen.Die Lücke dient darüber hinaus als Kanal für die Wasserleitung und die Energiekabel. Das Verbindungsteil entsprechend Fig. 4 ist im Querschnitt offen profiliert, um Änderungen oder Reparaturen an den Installationen ohne nennenswerte Materialverluste zu ermöglichen.

3. Zur problemlosen Durchführung der Leitungen aus dem Kanal zwecks Abzweig für die Verbraucher sind die Formen an einer Seite mit einer Aussparung gemäß Fig. 6a-c versehen. -Siehe Anspruch 3-.

4. Die Formen können mit dem jeweiligen zur Type passenden keilförmigen Zwischenstück (Fig.5a-d) auch in Bogenlinie (als Innen-oder Aussenbogen) und in mehreren übereinander liegenden Lagen versetzt sein. Sie können gegen entsprechend ansteigendes Gelände, aber auch freistehend als Abteiler neben- und übereinander sitzten. -Siehe Anspruch 4-.

The innovations in detail :

1. The form A has a sound-absorbing opening on the front to the gutter-shaped planting area, which gives the root ball sufficient support that the planting area is not semicircular in cross-section and thus prevents the plants and soil from being rotated out of the opening (Fig. 1a ). Form B has a second planting area on the rear side of the form (Fig. 1b). - See claim 1-.

2. The dry connection system of the molds is formed by the profile on the top of the molds A and B, which engages non-positively in the underside of the molds A, B and C and one in front or back of the mold row above, or rotated 180 ° around the vertical axis Placing one or more shapes in a row enables (Fig.3a). The dry connection system shown is state of the art (see DBGM 8603954). The profile has a novelty on the top of the molds, which forms a gap with respect to the bottom, which takes on additional technical functions (Fig. 3b). See claim 2. This gap serves firstly to accommodate the loose connecting part according to FIG. 4, a stamped shaped part that is adapted to the profile, preferably made of stainless steel sheet, which, together with the molds placed above it, is used to form non-bonded molds manufactures. The loose connection part can be dispensed with by the forms sitting one above the other in the dressing. The length is compensated for by shortened shapes, and the gap also serves as a channel for the water pipe and power cables. The connecting part according to FIG. 4 is openly profiled in cross section in order to enable changes or repairs to the installations without significant material losses.

3. For the problem-free passage of the lines from the duct for the purpose of branching off for the consumers, the molds are provided on one side with a cutout according to FIGS. 6a-c. - See claim 3-.

4. The molds can also be offset in a curved line (as an inner or outer arch) and in several layers lying one above the other with the respective wedge-shaped intermediate piece (FIGS. 5a-d). You can sit next to and above each other against a correspondingly rising terrain, but also as a free-standing compartment. - See claim 4-.

Claims (5)

justified that the forms A u. B at least one gutter-shaped planting area that is not semicircular in cross-section own that can be planted from the front. justified by the fact that the non-positive profile at overlaying the shapes in each example of displacement one of Form to form continuous channel that the reception of the connecting part and serves the supply lines. justified by the fact that the shapes on each side a recess for the diversion to the Sprinklers or have energy consumers. justified by the fact that the moving forward or backward of overlapping forms in a curved line (inner and outer arch) while maintaining the dressing technique through wedge-shaped to match the type Intermediate pieces is achieved by the non-positive Profile according to claim 2 in the plan view extends at 2 times angled It is crucial that the boundary lines of the middle Section of the wedge-shaped intermediate piece run parallel to each other A favorable angle between these boundary lines and the respective lateral connecting line to the adjacent shape 7.5 ° which creates a full circle from 24 intermediate pieces. The one that is basically unchanged but not for easier manufacture angled planting channel of the wedge-shaped intermediate piece has the other course compared to the currently running forms slight decrease in volume. However, this affects not the function of a plant gutter.
