Description

  The present invention relates to a planter suitable for rooftop greening of a building or the like, and more particularly to a rooftop greening planter with reduced irrigation management and irrigation work.

  In recent years, from the viewpoints of alleviating the heat island phenomenon, reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, saving energy in buildings, and healing effects on people, rooftop greening has been promoted in which the rooftop surface of buildings is covered with plants.

  Conventionally, as a method of rooftop greening, a rooftop greening method has been proposed in which the rooftop of a building is covered with a shelf such as a pergola, a planter is installed under the pergola, and the branches and leaves of the vine planted in the planter are attracted to the pergola. (See Patent Document 1). Moreover, although it is not the method of rooftop greening, the greening method which attaches a net to a planter and attracts the vine planted by the planter to this net is proposed (refer patent document 2).

  However, since the rooftop greening method proposed in Patent Document 1 attracts a vine plant to a pergola and greens it, it takes a long time for the rooftop to be greened. The proposed greening method can be planted on a vertical plane, but cannot be planted on a horizontal plane and cannot be used as a rooftop greening method.

  Therefore, the present applicant has intensively studied in order to solve the problems of the above-described conventional rooftop greening method, and has a planter provided with a net-like panel body having an area larger than the upper surface of the planter body on the upper surface of the planter body. Proposed (see Patent Document 3). According to this planter, since a vine plant grows along a net-like panel body, rooftop greening can be achieved in a short period of time, which is extremely preferable.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-140252 JP-A-7-39366 JP 2005-176827 A

  However, the above-mentioned rooftop greening planter proposed in Patent Document 3 described above always monitors the dry state of the soil and has to perform irrigation each time the soil is dried. Moreover, the rooftop has nothing to block sunlight and is well ventilated, so the soil must be drastically dried and the watering operation has to be performed frequently. Therefore, the monitoring operation of the soil dry state and the irrigation operation are troublesome, and it has been desired to reduce these operations.

  The present invention solves the above problems and has a structure in which water can be stored below the soil, and the water stored by the pumping pipe can be supplied to the soil to monitor the dry state of the soil. An object of the present invention is to provide a rooftop plantation planter that can supply water for a long period of time.

  A rooftop plantation planter according to claim 1 is a planter having a planter body for planting a plant, and a net-like panel body provided on an upper surface of the planter body and having an area larger than the upper surface of the planter body. The main body has an outer frame body in which water is stored, an inner frame body that is separably installed in the outer frame body and is filled with soil, and water that is stored in the outer frame body is filled in the inner frame body The pump has a pumping pipe for supplying to the soil, and the pumping pipe is attached to an arbitrary number and an arbitrary place.

  The rooftop greening planter according to claim 2 is the rooftop greening planter according to claim 1, wherein the pumping pipe mounting portion is formed at an arbitrary position of the inner frame, and the pumping pipe mounting portion includes the pumping pipe, the inner frame, A through-hole for connecting the pump and a screw through-hole for insertion of the pumping pipe mounting screw can be formed, and the inner frame is formed by screwing a screw into a screw hole formed in the pump-up pipe through the through-hole for screw It is structured to be equipped with a pumping pipe.

  The rooftop greening planter according to claim 3 is the rooftop greening planter according to claim 2, wherein the pumping pipe mounting portion is formed on the circumference of the center and an arbitrary radius, and the distance between the pumping pipe mounting portions is substantially the same. It is configured as a feature.

  The rooftop greening planter according to claim 4 is characterized in that, in the rooftop greening planter according to claim 1, 2, or 3, the pumping material made of a mixture of pearlite or crushed baked tiles and zeolite is filled. It is configured.

  A rooftop greening planter according to a fifth aspect is the rooftop greening planter according to the fourth aspect, characterized in that the particle sizes of the pearlite, the baked roof tiles, and the zeolite are about 2 to about 10 mm.

  According to the rooftop greening planter according to claim 1, it has an outer frame body in which water is stored, and an inner frame body that is separably installed in the outer frame body and is filled with soil, and is stored in the outer frame body. Since the pumping pipe for supplying the treated water to the soil filled in the inner frame body is provided, the water stored in the outer frame body can be automatically supplied to the soil by the pumping pipe. Since water is automatically supplied to the soil when the soil is dry, it is not necessary to monitor the dry state of the soil, and water can be supplied to the soil over a long period of time. In the present invention, it is necessary to monitor the amount of stored water. However, since the decrease in stored water is much slower than the drying of soil, the interval between monitoring operations is long. Furthermore, the outer frame body and the inner frame body communicate with each other through a pumping pipe, and since the area of the pumping pipe is smaller than the area of the bottom part of the inner frame body, even if rainwater enters the soil due to rain, It is possible to suppress as much as possible that the fertilizer is washed away in the stored water in the lower frame.

  In addition, since any number of pumping pipes can be installed at any location, the installation of the pumping pipe can be changed as appropriate depending on the plant to be planted, the environment of the installation location, etc. Can be supplied.

  According to the roof tree planting planter according to claim 2, the pumping pipe mounting portion is formed at an arbitrary position of the inner frame body, and the pumping pipe mounting portion is formed so that a through hole and a screw through hole can be formed. The through-hole and the screw through-hole can be formed at predetermined positions on the site, and only by screwing with the screw, the pumping pipe can be attached to the inner frame body very easily.

  According to the roof tree planting planter according to claim 3, since the distance between the center and an arbitrary radius is substantially the same, and the distance between the mounting portions of the pumping pipes is substantially the same, the predetermined number is set according to the number of pumping pipes to be attached. By attaching the pumping pipe to the pumping pipe mounting portion, water can be supplied substantially uniformly to the soil of the inner frame.

  According to the rooftop greening planter according to claim 4, since the pumping pipe is filled with a pumping material made of a mixture of pearlite or baked roof tiles and zeolite, water can be efficiently supplied to the soil. And water retention can be maintained by the crushed material of pearlite or baked tile, and decay can be prevented by zeolite.

  According to the rooftop greening planter according to claim 5, since the particle size of the pearlite, the baked tile crushed material and the zeolite is about 2 to about 10 mm, it is possible to efficiently pump water and supply water to the soil. The pumping material will not flow into the stored water.

  In the roof planting planter of the present invention, the planter body is composed of an outer frame body and an inner frame body that is separably provided on the outer frame body, and the shape of these frame bodies is circular in cross section. Various shapes such as a cylindrical body such as a square shape, a rectangular shape, and a polygonal shape can be employed. As the outer frame, a resin such as GRC (glass fiber reinforced lightweight concrete) or FRP whose surface is coated can be used. As the inner frame, various resins such as ASA resin and AES resin can be used. Can be adopted.

  A pumping pipe is provided for supplying water stored in the outer frame to the soil filled in the inner frame. This pumping pipe pumps up the water stored in the lower frame by capillary action and supplies it to the soil filled in the inner frame, and is attached to any number and any location. In order to attach the pumping pipe, it may be attached to the inner frame or the outer frame. For example, a pumping pipe mounting portion is formed at an arbitrary position of the inner frame, and the pumping pipe mounting portion is formed so as to be able to form a through hole that allows the pumping pipe and the inner frame to communicate with each other. The pumping pipe may be attached to the inner frame body by screwing a screw into a screw hole formed in the pumping pipe through the screw through hole. Moreover, at this time, it is preferable that the pumping pipe attachment part is formed on the circumference of the center and an arbitrary radius, and the distance between the pumping pipe attachment parts is substantially the same. Furthermore, it is preferable to form a drain hole in the pumping pipe mounting part other than the pumping pipe mounting part for attaching the pumping pipe, and it is possible to prevent water from being stored in the soil more than necessary by rainwater.

  The pumping pipe is filled with a pumping material, and the pumping material is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that exhibits a capillary phenomenon. Zeolite is preferred from the viewpoint of preventing (rotation due to contamination of organic fertilizer in soil with rainwater), and these can be used alone as pumping materials, but pearlite or baked tile crushed material and zeolite are mixed. And preferably used. The mixing ratio (vol%) between the pearlite or fired roof tile crushed material and the zeolite is preferably pearlite or fired roof tile crushed material: zeolite = 60 to 90:40 to 10 vol%. If the pulverized pearlite or baked tile is less than 60 vol% (zeolite exceeds 40 vol%), water retention may not be sufficiently secured, and the zeolite is less than 10 vol% (40 pearlite or baked tile crushed material). If it exceeds 80 vol%), the anti-corruption property may not be sufficiently secured. Moreover, the particle size of the pulverized pearlite or fired tile is preferably 2 to 10 mm, and the particle size of zeolite is preferably 2 to 10 mm. If the particle size of pearlite, baked roof tiles, and zeolite is less than 2 mm, water will be supplied to the soil more than necessary, and it will not be possible to store water for a long period of time, and water provided at the bottom of the pumping pipe will penetrate. There is a possibility that the pumping material will flow out from the hole, or the hole may be clogged, making it impossible to absorb water sufficiently. On the other hand, if the particle diameter exceeds 10 mm, pumping by capillary action may not be sufficiently performed.

  It is also possible to attach the pumping pipe without filling the pumping material. By adopting such a configuration, the function as a pumping pipe is not exhibited, but the inner frame can be supported, so that the inner frame can be deformed downward even when the weight of the soil is large. Can be prevented.

  The soil to be filled in the inner frame is preferably lightweight for installation on the roof, and can maintain high water retention in order to eliminate the need for watering for a long period of time, and after planting the planter body, In order to accelerate the growth of plants (especially vines of vines), it is preferable to mix organic fertilizers that are optimal. For example, perlite (water retention, light weight), vermiculite (water retention, light weight, fertilizer), peat moss (water retention, fertilizer), bitter soil (fertilizer), humus (fertilizer), and these multiple types are blended at a predetermined ratio Use soil.

Plants to be planted on the planter body are plants that can be attracted in the lateral direction and plants that grow in the lateral direction. For example, there are vine plants such as Hedera canariensis, Hedera helix, honeysuckle, Teikakazura, etc. A first embodiment of a rooftop plantation planter according to the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
