Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】本発明は、植物の栽培時に使用する植物栽培用パネル部材と、植物栽培用パネルを使用した植物栽培装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年、大都市の中心部では、ヒートアイランド現象が社会問題となっている。ヒートアイランド現象とは、都市活動によって都市中心部で大気が高温になる現象のことを指す。また、ヒートアイランド化が進むと、冬の時期には都市上空に大気の逆転層ができて、都市部に蓋をしたような状態になり大気汚染が深刻化するという問題もある。
【０００３】
ヒートアイランド現象の原因としては、ビルのコンクリートや道路の舗装が太陽熱を日中では吸収し、夜間に徐々に放出するため地表付近に熱がたまってしまうことが一因と考えられている。その他にも、クーラーや自動車の排気ガスなどの廃熱、樹木や土が減ったことにより水分蒸発による冷却能力の減少、高層建造物の増加で通気が悪くなり、都市部の換気がしにくくなっているなど様々な原因が考えられている。
【０００４】
このヒートアイランド現象を解決する手段としては、緑地を創出することが効果的とされているが、都市部において新たな緑地を創出することは実際問題として困難である。そこで、都市部の自治体などでは、一定規模の面積を有する建築物の屋上緑化を推進し、ヒートアイランド現象の解決策の一つにしようとする試みがなされている。
【０００５】
従来の屋上緑地化の方法としては、屋上スラブ上に配水管を設置し、その上に土壌を敷いて植物を植えるのが一般的である。
【０００６】
また、この他にも、保水性を有し、比重の軽い軽量土壌を使用し、芝やセダムといった比較的乾燥に強い地被植物を植栽して屋上を緑化する方法もある。
【０００７】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記した前者の従来の屋上緑化方法では、土壌の重量が大きくなり、建築構造に負担がかかりすぎてしまうという問題がある。具体的には、高木を植えるためには約６０ｃｍの土壌が必要である。そして、客土の比重は約１．６であることから、これら土壌と、植物、土壌中の水分を計算すると平米あたり１０００ｋｇもの重量となってしまう。よって、この方法で屋上を緑化するには、十分に耐久性のある建築構造の建築物でなくてはならないが、必然とコスト高になってしまうという問題がある。更に、屋上緑化を計画していない既存の建築物は、この方法を適用することが困難であるという問題がある。また、高木や植物を植えた後、植物の根が生長すると屋上の防水層が痛む危険性があるという問題もある。
【０００８】
また、前記した後者の屋上緑化方法では、保水性があり、比重の軽い軽量土壌を使用しているため、土壌の厚さが４０ｍｍ程度でも植物を生育することが可能である。この方法では、平米あたりの重量を約６０ｋｇと軽減することができるが、土壌の厚さが薄いため土壌中の水分が蒸散しやすく、頻繁に潅水しなければならないという問題がある。更に、この方法は、施工の行程が多く、煩雑であることや、潅水装置を設けて頻繁に潅水する必要があるため、施工コストが高くなりがちで維持コストも高くなりやすいという問題がある。
【０００９】
また、両者の屋上緑化方法は、屋上緑化をするにあたり大規模な施工が必要であるため、簡単には屋上緑化にすることができないという問題もある。
【００１０】
以上のことから、屋上緑化を想定していない建造物でも屋上緑化が可能で、屋上緑化にかかる施工コストを低減でき、簡単に屋上緑化にすることが可能な屋上緑化方法、または、屋上に設置して屋上緑化が可能な植物栽培装置の開発が望まれていた。
【００１１】

図２は、本発明に係る植物栽培用パネル部材４の一実施の形態を示した説明図である。本発明に係る植物栽培用パネル部材４は、植物３６を保持させることができる略格子状又は略網目状のパネル６と、パネル６の一方の面側に設けられた脚部８とからなることを特徴とする。
【００２０】
パネル６は、略格子状又は略網目状のものが好ましいが、板状部材でも使用可能である。格子又は網目のメッシュ部分は、ある程度の大きさを有するものが好ましい。本発明に係るパネル６は、例えば、１０００ｍｍ×１２００ｍｍ程度の大きさで、メッシュ部分が１５０×１００ｍｍ程度の大きさのものを使用するのが好ましいが、パネル６・格子・網目の形状や大きさ、については種々の条件を考慮して適宜設定すれば良い。また、板状部材を使用する場合は、通気孔など孔を複数個形成するのが良い。
【００２１】
パネル６の材質としては、鉄、スチール、ステンレス、アルミなどの金属が好ましいが、木材、プラスティックなどの材料も使用可能である。また、防錆、防腐のために各種メッキや各種塗料を塗布しても良い。
【００２２】
脚部８については、図中ではＶ字型の脚部８を使用しているが、パネル６を所定の高さに保持でき、パネル部材４を安定して固定することができるものであれば、どのような形状及び構造であっても良い。また、図中ではパネル６周縁のフレーム部分に脚部８を設けているが、パネル６内部に設けても良く、脚部８の設置位置及び設置数などは適宜設定すれば良い。脚部８の高さについては、２００ｍｍ前後の高さが良いが、植物栽培用プランター１２の高さなどを考慮して適宜設定すれば良い。
【００２３】
また、本発明に係るパネル６は、折り曲げ可能であることを特徴とする。図３は、パネル６を折り曲げた状態を示した説明図である。
【００２４】
折り曲げ可能な箇所としては、パネル６の端部でも良いし、パネル６内部でも良い。また、図示されているように一カ所だけ折り曲げ可能であっても良いし、複数箇所が折り曲げ可能であっても良い。また、折り曲げ可能な可動範囲としては、９０度程度が好ましいが、それ以上であっても良い。本発明では、折り曲げ部としてヒンジを用いているが、その他の手段及び構造であっても良い。また、折り曲げた状態を保持できるような構造及び手段を用いても良い。
【００２５】
また、本発明に係るパネル部材４は、植物栽培用プランター１２に取付可能なプランター取付部１０が設けられていることを特徴とする。
【００２６】
図２に示されているように本発明ではプランター取付部１０として、パネル６内にフレームを設け、フレーム内にプランターを挿入して植物栽培用プランター１２とパネル部材４を連結固定する構造としているが、図４に示されたように植物栽培用プランター１２を挿入する箇所に金網のカゴを設けても良い。また、この他にも連結部や係合部を設けて取り付ける構造であっても良く、パネル６を植物栽培用プランター１２に取り付けることができるものであれば、どのような手段及び構造であっても良い。
【００２７】
本発明に係る植物栽培用プランター１２は、園芸用、農業用、観賞用に使用される植物栽培用の箱体であればどのようなものであっても使用することが可能で、一般的に製造販売されているものであっても良い。植物栽培用プランター１２の大きさとしては、３００ｍｍ×１０００ｍｍ×２００ｍｍ程度のものが使用しやすいが、適宜設定すれば良い。また、植物栽培用プランター１２の材料としては、木材、金属、プラスティック、陶器などが使用可能であり、種々の条件を考慮して適宜設定すれば良いが、植物栽培用プランター１２とパネル部材４を連結固定したときに、植物栽培用プランター１２の自重によって植物栽培用プランター１２及びパネル部材４が容易に移動しない程度の重量を有するものが好ましい。
【００２８】
次に本発明に係る植物栽培装置２について図を参照にしながら説明する。図１は、本発明に係る植物栽培装置２を示した説明図である。
【００２９】
本発明に係る植物栽培装置２は、植物３６を保持させることができる略格子状又は略網目状のパネル６と、パネル６の一方の面側に設けられた脚部８とを備え、パネル６が折り曲げ可能な植物栽培用パネル部材４とからなり、植物栽培用パネル部材４と植物栽培用プランター１２を共に使用することを特徴とする。
【００３０】
本発明に係る植物栽培用パネル部材４及び植物栽培用プランター１２については、詳細を上記したため省略する。
【００３１】
また、植物栽培用プランター１２及びパネル部材４は、連結固定されても良いし、一体形成されていても良い。連結固定する場合は、パネル部材４と植物栽培用プランター１２を取付可能なプランター取付部１０をパネル部材４に設けるのが良い。プランター取付部１０としては、図２に示されたようにパネル６内に開口部を設け、植物栽培用プランター１２を開口部内に設置するものでも良いし、連結手段や係合手段などを用いることも可能である。
【００３２】
本発明に係る植物栽培装置２は、植物栽培用プランター１２の自重及び植物栽培用プランター１２内の土壌の重さによって、植物栽培用プランター１２及びパネル部材４が風に飛ばされる心配はないが、おもり部材を用いたり、パネル固定手段などを設けても良い。パネル固定手段としては、地面に係合部を有する杭を打ち付け、パネル部材４の脚部８又はパネル６と係合部を係合させてパネル部材４を固定させる方法などがあるが、その他の手段であっても良い。
【００３３】
本発明に係る植物栽培装置２で植栽される植物３６はツタ科の植物が好ましい。ツタ科の植物３６は壁、柱などにつるを付着したり、巻き付きながら生長する性質を有する。即ち、ツタ科の植物３６を植栽した植物栽培用プランター１２の近傍に面状のパネル６を地面と水平に設置すると、つるがパネル６に絡まりながら生長するため、パネル６一面をツタ科の植物３６の葉で覆うことができる。
【００３４】
従って、本発明に係る植物栽培装置２は、植物栽培用プランター１２内の少量の土壌だけで、広範囲を緑化が可能となる。この植物栽培装置２を建築物の屋上に設置すれば、少量の土壌で広範囲の緑化が可能であるため、屋上緑化のために耐久性を計算していない既存の建築物であっても設置が可能で、効率良く屋上緑化が可能となる。
【００３５】
ツタ科の植物３６としては、ナツヅタ、ヘンリーヅタ、アメリカヅタ、キヅタ、セイヨーキヅタ、カナリーキヅタなどが植裁可能であるが、その他にも植物栽培用プランター１２に植裁が可能で、枝葉がパネル部材４一面に広がって生長する植物３６などであれば本発明に係る植物栽培装置２で植裁が可能である。
【００３６】
また、本発明に係る植物栽培装置２は、植物栽培用プランター１２に自動的に潅水可能な潅水装置１４が設けられていても良い。図５は、本発明に係る潅水装置１４の一実施の形態を示した説明図で、図６は点滴式潅水ホース１６を示した説明図、図７は点滴式潅水ホース１６の部分拡大断面図である。
【００３７】
本発明に係る潅水装置１４は、電磁弁１８、逆止弁２０、バルブボックス２２、点滴式潅水ホース１６を備えている。点滴式潅水ホース１６は、植物栽培用プランター１２内の土壌面に設置され、適当量の水分を土壌に潅水できるものである。また、Ａ／Ｃコントローラー２６、雨センサー２４を備え、植物栽培用プランター１２内の土壌を適度な湿度に保つことができる。
【００３８】
潅水装置１４は、植物栽培用プランター１２内の土壌を適度な湿度にできるものであれば、その構造や手段などについては、特に限定せず、一般的に製造販売されているものであっても使用可能である。
【００３９】
次に、本発明に係る植物栽培装置２の使用方法について説明する。図８は本発明に係る植物栽培装置２の側面図で、図９はＡの部分拡大断面図である。本発明に係る植物栽培装置２を使用する場合、植物栽培装置２を設置する場所を決定し、パネル部材４を最初に設置する。
【００４０】
次に、植物栽培用プランター１２をパネル部材４のプランター取付部１０に取り付ける。植物栽培用プランター１２内には、排水層として軽石４２などを２０ｍｍ程度の高さになるように敷き詰め、その上に軽量土壌３８及び長期作用型の固形肥料４０を適宜入れる。そして１ｍ程度に生長したツタ科の植物３６を適当数、所定の間隔を設けて植え付け、枝葉をパネル６に載せる。
【００４１】
次に、潅水装置１４を設置して、点滴式潅水ホース１６を土壌面に設置すれば植物栽培装置２の設置が完了する。その後は、潅水装置１４が自動的に潅水するため、手入れなどは頻繁に行う必要はない。
【００４２】
落葉の掃除や植物３６の手入れなどをする場合は、図３に示されたようにパネル６を折り曲げれば、作業用通路又は作業空間を簡単に創出することができるため、作業効率が良くなる。
【００４３】
この植物栽培装置２を建築物の屋上に設置する場合は、図１０に示されたように連続して設置すれば、面的な屋上緑化が可能となる。隣り合う植物栽培装置２との間に間隙を設けなくても、図３に示されたようにパネル６を折り曲げれば、作業用通路又は作業空間が容易に創出することができるため、作業効率が良くなるだけでなく、屋上一面を緑化することも可能である。
【００４４】
更に、本発明に係る植物栽培装置は、植物の根は植物栽培用プランター１２内に収まり、枝葉はパネル６に付着又は巻き付いて生長するため、屋上のスラブや壁面に植物が接触しない。即ち、屋上の緑化をやめるときに植物や土壌の後処理が無く、植物栽培装置２を撤収するだけで済むという利便性を有する。
【００４５】
【発明の効果】
本発明に係るパネル部材は、植物を保持させることができる略格子状又は略網目状のパネルと、パネルの一方の面側に設けられた脚部とからなり、パネルは折り曲げ可能であるため、植物をどの角度でも保持することができ、種々の植物の保持が可能な汎用性を有する。
【００４６】
また、本発明に係る植物栽培装置は、植物栽培用パネル部材と植物栽培用プランターを共に使用し、パネル部材は折り曲げ可能であるため、植物栽培装置を設置した後、パネル部材の下を掃除するとき、パネルを折り曲げるだけで作業空間を創出することができ、空間を有効利用することができる。
【００４７】
また、本発明に係る植物栽培装置は、植物栽培用プランターにツタ科の植物が植裁され、建築物の屋上に設置するため、少量の土壌でパネル一面に枝葉を生長させることができ、効率良く屋上緑化が可能となる。
【００４８】
更に、植物栽培装置の重量が負担にならないため、屋上緑化を計画していない既存の建築物であっても屋上緑化が可能となる。
【００４９】
また、植物栽培用プランターとパネル部材のみを設置するため、屋上緑化工事の施工数を低減させることができ、簡単且つ低コストで屋上緑化が可能となる。また、屋上緑化を止める場合も、植物栽培装置を撤収するだけで済むため、土壌や植物の後処理をなくすことができ、利便性が高い。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plant cultivation panel member used for cultivating plants and a plant cultivation apparatus using the plant cultivation panel.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, the heat island phenomenon has become a social problem in the center of large cities. The heat island phenomenon refers to a phenomenon in which the atmosphere becomes hot in the city center due to urban activities. In addition, when heat islanding progresses, there is a problem that in the winter season, an inversion layer of the atmosphere is formed over the city, and the city is in a state of being covered with a lid, and the air pollution becomes serious.
[0003]
One possible cause of the heat island phenomenon is that the building concrete and the pavement of the road absorb solar heat during the day and gradually release it at night, causing heat to accumulate near the ground. In addition, waste heat from coolers and automobile exhaust gas, reduced trees and soil, reduced cooling capacity due to water evaporation, increased high-rise buildings, worsened ventilation, and made it difficult to ventilate urban areas. Various causes are considered.
[0004]
As a means for solving this heat island phenomenon, it is considered effective to create a green space, but it is practically difficult to create a new green space in an urban area. Therefore, in the local governments in urban areas, attempts have been made to promote rooftop greening of buildings having a certain scale of area and to use the rooftop greening as one of solutions to the heat island phenomenon.
[0005]
As a conventional method of greening a rooftop, it is common to install a water distribution pipe on a rooftop slab and lay soil thereon to plant plants.
[0006]
In addition, there is a method of using a light-weight soil having a water retention property and a low specific gravity and planting a relatively dry ground covering plant such as turf or sedum to green the roof.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the former conventional rooftop greening method described above has a problem that the weight of the soil increases and the load on the building structure becomes excessive. Specifically, planting a tree requires about 60 cm of soil. And since the specific gravity of the soil is about 1.6, when the moisture in these soil, plants and soil is calculated, it will be as much as 1000 kg per square meter. Therefore, in order to green the roof by this method, the building must have a sufficiently durable building structure, but there is a problem that the cost is necessarily increased. Furthermore, there is a problem that it is difficult to apply this method to existing buildings that are not planned for rooftop greening. In addition, there is also a problem that if the roots of the plant grow after planting a tree or a plant, the waterproof layer on the roof may be damaged.
[0008]
Further, in the latter rooftop greening method, since light-weight soil having water retention and light specific gravity is used, plants can be grown even if the thickness of the soil is about 40 mm. According to this method, the weight per square meter can be reduced to about 60 kg, but there is a problem that the water in the soil is apt to evaporate due to the small thickness of the soil, and frequent irrigation is required. Furthermore, this method has a problem that the construction process is many and complicated, and that it is necessary to provide a watering device and frequent watering, so that the construction cost tends to be high and the maintenance cost tends to be high.
[0009]
Further, both rooftop greening methods require a large-scale construction for rooftop greening, and thus have a problem that rooftop greening cannot be easily performed.
[0010]
From the above, rooftop greening is possible even for buildings that are not supposed to be rooftop greening, which can reduce the construction cost for rooftop greening and make rooftop greening easier, or install on a rooftop It has been desired to develop a plant cultivation device capable of rooftop greening.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the panel member for plant cultivation according to the present invention includes a substantially lattice-like or substantially mesh-like panel capable of holding a plant, and a leg provided on one surface side of the panel. , Wherein the panel is bendable.
[0012]
Further, the panel may be provided with a planter mounting portion that can be mounted on the planter for plant cultivation.
[0013]
Further, the plant cultivation apparatus according to the present invention includes a substantially lattice-like or substantially mesh-like panel capable of holding plants, and a leg provided on one surface side of the panel, and the panel is bendable. A plant member for plant cultivation, and a panel member for plant cultivation and a planter for plant cultivation are used together.
[0014]
Further, the panel may be provided with a planter mounting portion that can be mounted on the plant cultivation planter, and the plant cultivation planter and the plant cultivation panel member may be connected and fixed.
[0015]
Further, the planter mounting portion is an opening provided in the panel, and a planter for plant cultivation may be installed in the opening.
[0016]

Moreover, the plant cultivation apparatus according to the present invention may be arranged such that a plant of the family Ivy is planted in a planter for plant cultivation, the panel holds vines and leaves of the plant, and is installed on the roof of a building.
[0018]
