Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vegetative assembled channel which ensures characteristics of a concrete channel, such as stable strength to earth pressure, and at the same time provides an optimum living area for plants and small animals including insects, to thereby bring about co-existence and co-prosperity with organisms and harmonization with the nature. <P>SOLUTION: The vegetative assembled channel is formed by erecting U-shaped frame members 3 at intervals, erecting a plurality of concrete panel members 2 at locations between support portions 32 of the respective frame members 3. Each concrete panel member 2 has a plurality of through holes 21 formed therein, and an inner end face of each through hole 21 is covered with a water permeable mesh 22. Then vegetative sandbags including seeds or in-situ soil 23 is embedded in each through hole 21 along the mesh 22. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a vegetation assembly channel in harmony with nature for supplying rainwater, agricultural water, drainage, and the like.

  Conventionally, concrete waterways have been formed to send rainwater, agricultural water, drainage, etc. to the sea, rivers, lakes, ponds, water purification plants, etc. For example, concrete U-shaped frames and panels A waterway that combines these is formed. In such concrete-clad water channels, it is possible to secure a stable strength against earth pressure, and it is effective for securing the necessary water volume and preventing unnecessary leakage to the outside. Since it is difficult for plants to overgrow and small animals such as insects to inhabit, they were liberated from the surrounding natural world and were difficult to harmonize with nature.

Therefore, in Patent Document 1, for example, a concrete water channel having a vegetation shelf is formed by a U-shaped frame, a plate-hanging member, and a retaining plate, and a plant is grown on the vegetation soil filled in the vegetation shelf. An assembling fence has been proposed.
JP 2004-137892 A

  However, out of the U-shaped frame body, plate-hanging member, and earth retaining plate, the U-shaped frame body and earth retaining plate have ready-made products. In addition, there is a disadvantage that a high cost is required, for example, a complicated operation is required to fit the earth retaining plate into the inclined groove of the plate-hanging member.

  In view of such a current situation, the present invention provides coexistence with living organisms by providing an optimal habitat area for small animals such as plants and insects while maintaining the characteristics of concrete water channels such as ensuring stable strength against earth pressure. The purpose of this project is to provide a vegetation assembly channel that can promote harmony with nature.

  The present invention achieves the above-mentioned object, and the invention according to claim 1 comprises a plurality of concrete panels provided with a plurality of through holes and the inner end surfaces of the through holes are covered with a water-based mesh. The members are respectively disposed between the supporting column portions of U-shaped frame members standing upright and spaced from each other, and vegetation soil containing seeds or locally generated soil is embedded in the through holes along the mesh. This is a vegetation assembly channel.

  According to the present invention, the characteristics of the concrete channel such as ensuring stable strength against soil pressure are maintained, and seeds mixed in vegetation soil or locally generated soil embedded in a plurality of through holes germinate. It grows on the walls of the canal through the gaps between the meshes, making it an optimal habitat for small animals such as insects, and coexistence with living organisms and harmony with nature. Since a mesh made of stainless steel, resin, or the like can be embedded in a ready-made panel frame, there is no need to manufacture a new frame, which is economical.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings which are embodiments thereof.
1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a vegetation assembly water channel according to the present invention, and the vegetation assembly water channel 1 is mainly formed by a concrete panel member 2 and a U-shaped frame member 3.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and the like, the concrete panel member 2 includes a plurality of through holes 21 and covers the inner end surface of the through holes 21 with a water-based mesh 22. In the through hole 21 along the mesh 22, a space 24 in which a vegetation soil containing seeds or a locally generated soil 23 is embedded is formed. In order to make the connection with the U-shaped frame member 3 stable and easy, dovetails 33 formed at the side ends of the U-shaped frame member 3 and protrusions 34 formed at the lower end, It is desirable to form the joint part 25 and the notch part 26 which correspond.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the U-shaped frame member 3 is formed by integrally forming a bottom portion 31 and two supporting column portions 32 in a substantially U shape and a substantially U shape. The U-shaped frame member 3 is erected at an interval corresponding to the length of the concrete panel member 2 when the vegetation assembly channel is installed, and is connected to the concrete panel member 2. In order to make the connection with the concrete panel member 2 stable and easy, dovetails 33 and protrusions that match the joint 25 formed at the end of the concrete panel member 2 at the end and the notch 26 formed at the lower end. It is desirable to form the portion 34.

  Below, the specific example of the construction method of the vegetation assembly waterway of this invention is demonstrated.

  First, the U-shaped frame member 3 is erected at a position corresponding to the length of the concrete panel member 2 at a position where the vegetation assembly water channel 1 is to be formed.

  Next, the concrete panel member 2 in which the mesh 22 made of stainless steel, resin, or the like is coated on the inner surface side of the through-hole 21 is fitted and fixed between the column portions 32 of the adjacent U-shaped frame 3 from the outside.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the vegetation soil or the locally generated soil 23 stuffed with seeds from the outside is stuffed into the through hole 21 along the mesh 22 of the concrete panel member 2, and the earth and sand 4 is backfilled on the outside. One side wall of the vegetation assembly channel 1 is formed. Similarly, the other side wall of the vegetation assembly channel 1 is formed to complete the installation of the vegetation assembly channel 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the seed 5 mixed with the vegetation soil or the locally generated soil 23 germinates and the plant 5 thrives on the wall surface of the channel through the gap of the mesh 22, and becomes an optimal habitat area for small animals such as insects. Coexistence and co-prosperity with living organisms and harmony with nature are possible.

It is a perspective view which shows the state in the middle of construction of the Example of the vegetation assembly waterway of this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the state in which the plant is growing on the inner wall after construction of the vegetation assembly waterway of FIG. It is AA sectional drawing shown except the plant in the vegetation assembly waterway of FIG. It is a perspective view of the concrete panel member 2 used in FIG.
