Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give sunshine, wind, and rain indispensable for growing plants to wall-shaped planting areas uniformly for a specified time in a wall-shaped greening system, to make kinds of the plants to be grown diversified, and to make it possible to easily conduct maintenance and management of the plants, such as pruning the plants, supplying the plants with nutrients, exchanging the plants, and sprinkling the plants with water. <P>SOLUTION: Plant pot racks are circularly turned. Thus, such a state that a part of the plant pot racks is in the shade throughout the day is avoided, and therefore the sunshine, the wind, and the rain indispensable for growing the plants are given to the plants on each of steps of the racks for a specified time. Further, the kinds of the plants to be grown are diversified, because the plants are always exposed to the sunshine, the wind, and the rain uniformly in the specified time. Furthermore, the maintenance and the management of the plants, such as pruning the plants, supplying the plants with the nutrients, exchanging the plants, and sprinkling the plants with the water, are easily conducted at a predetermined position, because the plant pot racks are circularly turned. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, sunlight and wind and rain, which are indispensable for planting and growing, can be equally obtained for each stage for a certain period of time by rotating a horizontal parallel planting pot shelf suspended on a wall surface in an annular manner. Many types of planting can be used. And the technical field of wall-shaped greening method that facilitates maintenance management such as pruning and replenishing nutrients, replacing plants, and watering.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The conventional wall greening method is a wall greening method of plants that climb on top of ivy mainly planted on the ground along a planar grid fixed on the outer wall of the building, or a large planting method on the outer wall of the building In this method, a plant pot is provided, plants are planted in the plant pot, and the wall is greened.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to determine whether sunlight and wind and rain, which are indispensable for plant growth, can be equally obtained in a wall-shaped planting part for a certain period of time in a wall-shaped greening method. Can you use many types of planting? And it is how easy it is to perform maintenance management such as planting pruning and nutrient replenishment, planting replacement and watering.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve this problem, the present invention is to rotate each plant pot shelf in an annular manner, thereby avoiding shade throughout the day in a part of the plant pot shelf, so that sunlight and wind and rain, which are indispensable for plant growth, are constant in each stage planting. The plant can be used in a wide variety of ways because it can be obtained at the same time and the sunlight and wind and rain always hit for a certain period of time. In addition, maintenance management such as pruning and nutrient replenishment, plant replacement, and watering can be easily performed at a predetermined location by rotating the plant pot shelf in an annular manner.
[0005]
The ring-shaped rotating mechanism secures metal parts with gears with anti-reversal function at four places in the upper and lower parts to the building wall support part to be mounted, and metal gear belts with shelves fixing hardware on both upper and lower gears. In this method, flower pot shelves are hung on the metal belt with equally spaced wall surfaces.
[0006]
The annular rotating power of the above-mentioned device is a wall-shaped equilibrium arrangement in which the plant pot shelves are annular and can be easily rotated by hand manually, or an electric motor may be used. In addition, even if the electric line is not newly drawn in, it is also possible to use the solar thermal power generation panel or the wind power generation device to automatically rotate the motorized ring.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A description will be given based on an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an oblique view of the configuration of an annular rotary planting pot shelf apparatus. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the difference between the shapes of the plant pot shelves (A) and (B). FIGS. 3A and 3B show the positional relationship between the supporting wall surface and the annular rotating planting pot shelf unit. FIG. 4 shows a maintenance management relationship when the apparatus is mounted on a support wall on the middle floor of a building. FIG. 5 shows the details of joining the annular rotating metal belt and the plant pot rack. FIG. 6 shows a free-standing annular rotating planting pot shelf apparatus for growing crops three-dimensionally in a farmland or the like, which is configured such that each planting pot shelf surface rotates horizontally to obtain sunlight for a certain time. FIG.
[0008]
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of the present apparatus, in which a holding hardware 6 combined with a gear 5 is mounted on a support wall 20 at four predetermined corners. An annular metal belt 7 with metal fittings 8 for attaching the plant pot rack 1 to the upper and lower gears 5 at the four corners is engaged with the five. Next, the plant pot shelf units combined from 1 to 4 are sequentially attached to 8. After the installation is completed, the pot 2 in which the plant 22 is planted is incorporated into 5. The plant pots may be set together in the shelf unit and then attached to the shelf unit 8. In addition, if the plant pot shelf unit is attached while the balance of the annular balance is being achieved, the assembly can be easily performed while the annular rotation is performed by the hand turning bar 9 without using power.
[0009]
FIGS. 2A and 2B show a difference in shape of a shelf 1 portion of the planting pot shelf unit. (A) One type of shelf in which a welded wire mesh is bent into a box shape and planted pots are placed therein. (B) is a type of shelf in which a metal plate is bent to form a round hole for holding a plant pot. In addition, a part of the material and shape can be replaced with various materials and shapes as long as they have the safety and the function of holding the pot. Note that the shelf hanging material 3 is not always necessary. FIGS. 3A and 3B show a cross-sectional relationship of the above-described annular rotation between the plant pot shelf units (A) and (B) and the support wall surface 20.
[0010]

It can be installed on any floor, regardless of height. FIG. 5 shows the details of joining the plant pot shelving unit to the shelf mounting hardware 8 attached to the annular metal belts 7 and 7. At the factory, 8 is attached to 7 in advance, and 7 is meshed with 5 gear portion, and the ball bearing assembly ring 4 is passed through 3 so that the center of gravity of the plant pot rack 1 is always lower than 3, and portions 8 and 3 are attached. Are put together, and a washer 8b is sandwiched therebetween, screwed in with a bolt 8a, and fixedly joined.
[0011]
FIG. 6 shows a self-supporting circular rotating planting pot shelf device for growing crops three-dimensionally in a farmland or the like, which is configured to automatically rotate horizontally so that each planting pot shelf is exposed to sunlight for a certain period of time. FIG. First, the foundation 18 is set horizontally, and the circular steel member 17 with a built-in horizontal rotation mechanism for the self-supporting support structure is fixed thereon. Reference numerals 15 and 16 denote a support structure for mounting the circular rotary planting pot shelf apparatus, and a fall-prevention metal fitting is provided and fixed on 17 so as not to hinder horizontal rotation. The thirteen solar thermal power generation panels and the fourteen wind power generation devices are used as a power source for the automatic control rotary drive device. In addition, although the watering equipment of 19 is used at the time of a drought, since the structures of 15 and 16 rotate horizontally and the planting pot shelf steps rotate in a circle, if one place is one step, automatic watering can be carried out to all the planting pot shelves. I can do it.
