Description

  The present invention is installed along the wall surface of a building, or installed as a street barrier in place of a conventional street tree, used as a road separation zone, and further used as an indoor partition wall It is related with the standing wall-like planting device which can be used in various ways.

Today, not only the rooftop of buildings but also the greening of walls is being proposed as a measure to improve the landscape and the so-called heat island phenomenon, and various techniques for greening the walls are being offered.
When the wall surface is greened, by reducing the amount of solar heat transmitted from the wall surface, it is possible to reduce the rising temperature of the living space configured inside the building and to reduce the cooling load. Therefore, realizing wall greening of the building contributes to mitigating the heat island phenomenon. In addition, the greening of the wall gives a natural harmony by changing the inorganic wall surface to a human-friendly landscape.

As an example of the wall greening technique, there is a technique in which a rigid frame is formed along the wall surface, and a mat-like planting unit in which plants are planted in advance is fitted in this frame to form a green space. With this technique, a desired design can be realized when the planting unit is fitted into the frame.

As another wall greening technique, a key groove is formed on the outer wall surface and a moisture supply pipe is provided, and a planting container unit having a key portion that fits into the key groove is prepared, and a desired plant is prepared. There is a technique for attaching a necessary number of planting container units in which a plant is implanted to a keyway to greenen the outer wall (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this technique, the green space completed for every planting container can be comprised by winding the vine of the plant around the frame provided in the planting container. For this reason, the design of the outer wall can be set by selecting from among a plurality of types of planting containers in which different plants are planted and attaching them to the outer wall.

Furthermore, a technique has also been proposed in which a net member is erected in a container, and a vine plant is wound around the net member to promote the growth of a vine plant implanted in the container. In this technique, a wheel is attached to the container so that the container can be moved, and the container is placed on the veranda near the window of the room, so that it can be used as a movable awning and the area of green space can be expanded.

The technology related to the present invention is disclosed in the following document.

However, the prior art described in the above-mentioned document has problems such as a large construction, requiring a large amount of cost for installation and removal, and is not easy to handle and difficult to maintain. In addition, there is no planting device that can be easily moved and that can be used to construct a greening wall easily indoors or outdoors, and can be used without taking place in place of conventional street trees. The standing wall-shaped planting apparatus according to the present invention has been made in order to solve such problems in the prior art.

The invention of the present application comprises a plant channel that is arranged at least one opposite to enable plant climbing, and a plant support that is stretched between the plant channels and enables plant growth and growth. A standing wall-shaped planting device configured to form a standing wall by vegetation between the plant channels, wherein the plant channel surrounds the plant and guides its traveling direction upward and the plant support side The above-mentioned conventional problem is to be solved by providing a standing wall-like planting device in which the plant support is composed of a lattice or mesh-like porous body.

Further, in the above standing wall-shaped planting device, the plant conduit is constituted by a tubular body, and an opening is provided on the plant support side of the tubular body to form the passage, surrounding the plant and its traveling direction The control wall that guides the pipe upward may be formed by a wall portion of a tubular body.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned standing wall-like planting device, a fibrous body is affixed to the wall of the tube that constitutes the plant conduit so that the plant can be self-attached to support and promote the advancement of the plant upward. Sometimes.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned standing wall-like planting device, there is a case where a plant locking body is accommodated in the pipe body constituting the plant conduit to support and promote the advancement of the plant upward.

Moreover, in any of the above standing wall-like planting apparatuses, the plant to be vegetated in the apparatus may become an adsorption climbing type evergreen plant.

The present invention has the following effects.
(1) The wall surface can be greened quickly and easily inside and outside the building.
(2) Since large-scale construction is not required, installation cost, management cost or removal cost is low.
(3) In the present invention, the standing wall greening surface is planted on both sides, so it can be used like a partition, and can be used in many directions as a partition material indoors and outdoors.
(4) It can be used instead of a guardrail instead of a roadside tree or as a landmark.
(5) By installing the present invention on a window in summer, it can be used in place of a curtain to effectively block heat.
(6) The present invention, which is a standing wall shape in the normal state, can be installed horizontally or inclined, and the usable range is extremely wide.

  In the standing wall planting device, the tube constituting the plant channel is formed of a metal material or a resin material, and the cross-sectional shape is preferably a semicircle or a semi-elliptical shape. In its shape, a control wall is constructed that surrounds the plant with both end wall portions and the wall portions sandwiched between the end wall portions and guides the traveling direction upward. A irrigation part is formed at the lower end of the tube.

Between the pipes, a plant support that allows the plant that climbed the pipes to extend and grow to form a greening wall is erected, and the pipe as a passage from the plant pipe to the plant support An opening is formed in the opening, and the opening is formed on the opening side of a semicircular or elliptical cross section.

  The plant support is extended and grown to form a standing wall that can be said to be a greening wall or a vegetation wall, but this plant support has a shape that makes it easy for the plant to get entangled or to adhere to the roots of certain plants. To do. For this reason, it is preferable to use a net or a light metal material made of coconut shell fibers, a porous plate made of a resin material, a lattice plate, or the like.

  As a plant to be planted in this standing wall planting device, a vine plant is basically suitable. Vine plants can be broadly divided into winding vines and adsorption plants. In the standing wall-like planting device of the present application, the plant guide erected in the vertical direction has a control wall that surrounds the plant and guides its traveling direction upward, and the plant repeats contact with the control walls on all sides. As a result, since it is guided to advance upward, it is not particularly limited to the type of plant, but from the standpoint of the fixing property to the wall portion of the plant channel and the plant support, an adsorptive plant is preferable, and particularly has an evergreen nature. Hedera such as Hedera canariensis and Hedera helix are suitable, and they are highly heat resistant and are most suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.

A coconut shell fiber layer is formed on the inner wall of the plant guide erected in the vertical direction as a fiber body for facilitating the self-adhesion of the attached roots of the plants, particularly Hedera. Further, a plant locking body is accommodated in the tube body as the plant conduit to promote support for advancement of the plant upward.
Since this locking body is a climbing tree of a plant, it may be a mere pole shape, a longitudinal shape formed with a large number of turns by wires, or a lattice plate.

A fixing pedestal is provided at the lower end of the tubular body as the plant conduit. The standing wall-shaped planting apparatus according to the present application can be easily attached to the wall portions inside and outside the building to realize greening of the wall surface. Moreover, it can be used in various modes as a partition wall both indoors and outdoors. Furthermore, it can be used in place of conventional street trees. In this case, since the occupation area is smaller than that of the roadside tree, the pedestrian is hardly disturbed.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, the plant support 2 is composed of a fabric made of coconut shell fibers. B and B are fixing bases.

FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing the configuration of the main part of the plant conduit 1. The plant conduit 1 has a control wall that surrounds the plant and guides its traveling direction upward, and a passage to the plant support 2 side. In this embodiment, the plant conducting path 1 is constituted by a tube, the control wall is constituted by wall portions 1a, 1a, 1a of the tube, and the passage is constituted by an opening 3 on the plant support side. And the fiber body 4 is affixed on the wall of the pipe | tube body which comprises the plant conducting path 1, the plant can be made to adhere | attach, and the advance of the plant to the upper direction is promoted. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 5 denotes a plant locking body housed in the pipe body 1 in the vertical direction so as to support and promote the advancement of the plant by fixing the plant roots and the like. Yes.

FIG. 3 is a front view of the locking body 5 housed in the tube body 1 constituting the plant conduit, and the locking body 5 is formed by forming a wire in a longitudinal shape so as to have a large number of folded portions. Thus, it has elasticity and is fixedly housed in the tube body 1 using its elastic force. The locking body 5 may be a lattice plate as shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 is a front view of the standing wall-shaped planting apparatus A in a state where a plant has grown over the entire surface of the plant support 2 to form a greening wall, that is, a standing wall-shaped planting. In this embodiment, the plant has planted adsorption climbing type Hedera canariensis. This plant is evergreen, resistant to heat, cold resistant and easy to manage. In the figure, reference numerals 6 and 6 denote irrigation units provided at the lower end of the tube 1. The irrigation unit 6 may be configured to supply water manually or to include an automatic water supply device.

Natural water or lightweight artificial soil is stored in the irrigation part, and Hedera canariensis is planted here. As the plant grows, the tip of the plant extends in the tube 1, abuts against the control unit configured by the inner wall of the tube 1, is blocked by the control unit, reverses, and turns in the opposite direction. It touches and reverses. By repeating this, the tip of the plant advances upward in the tube 1. That is, the traveling direction of the plant is guided upward by the control unit.
