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 capable of expanding a planting area.

  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.

  However, the rooftop plantation planter proposed in Patent Document 3 described above can attract vines by a mesh panel body in the horizontal direction, but cannot attract vines above the mesh panel body. The planting area was limited to the horizontal plane. In addition, when the vine plant extends beyond the peripheral edge of the reticulated panel body, the vine plant is in a state of hanging without being fixed, so it is always swayed by the wind and adversely affects the growth of the vine plant. there were. Furthermore, when a vine plant overgrowth, the peripheral part of the reticulated panel body cannot be recognized clearly, and the manager is in danger of touching the reticulated panel body.

  The present invention solves the above problems, can attract vines upward and downward at the periphery of the mesh panel body, and can clearly recognize the periphery of the mesh panel body. The purpose is to provide planters.

  The rooftop greening 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, In the peripheral part of the panel body, an expansion assisting member capable of attracting vines connected to at least one of the upper and lower directions is formed.

  A rooftop greening planter according to a second aspect is the rooftop greening planter according to the first aspect, wherein the expansion assisting member is formed in a mesh structure.

  A rooftop greening planter according to a third aspect is the rooftop greening planter according to the second aspect, wherein the expansion assisting member is formed of a double wire mesh.

  The rooftop greening planter according to claim 4 is the rooftop greening planter according to claim 1, 2, or 3, wherein the expansion assisting member is formed below and the lower end of the expansion assisting member is in contact with the floor surface. It is configured as a feature.

  According to the roof tree planting planter according to claim 1, it is possible to attract vines connected to at least one of the upper and lower directions (upper, lower, upper and lower modes) at the peripheral edge of the mesh panel body. An expansion assisting member is formed. Therefore, when the expansion assisting member is formed upward, the vine plant is attracted by the expansion assisting member and extends upward, so that the planting area can be expanded. In addition, when the expansion assisting member is formed below, when the vine plant is attracted to the expansion assisting member and extends downward, the vine plant is fixed to the expansion assisting member and is not greatly shaken by the wind. Therefore, it does not adversely affect the growth of the vine. Further, since the peripheral edge of the mesh panel body is clarified by the expansion assisting member, the manager can recognize the peripheral edge of the mesh panel body at a glance and prevent the sense of danger that the peripheral edge of the mesh panel body comes into contact. can do.

  According to the rooftop greening planter according to the second aspect, since the expansion assisting member is formed in a mesh structure, a vine can be attracted well.

  According to the roof tree planting planter according to the third aspect, since the expansion assisting member is formed of a double wire net having a mesh structure, the rigidity of the expansion assisting member can be increased. Moreover, a vine can be attracted more reliably by letting the inside of a double wire mesh pass.

  According to the roof tree planting planter according to claim 4, the expansion assisting member is formed below, and the lower end of the expansion assisting member is formed so as to be in contact with the floor surface. Even when the weight of the mesh panel body is large, the mesh panel body can be kept horizontal without being bent.

  In the roof tree planting planter of the present invention, an expansion assisting member is formed at the peripheral edge of the mesh panel body. The peripheral edge where the expansion assisting member is formed does not have to be the entire length of the peripheral edge, and may be formed at least partially. For example, when the net-like panel body is a square, it may be formed on its four sides or on two opposing sides. Further, the expansion assisting member may be formed in the lower part, the upper part, or the lower part and the upper part in the peripheral part of the net-like panel body. The hanging vine can be fixed without being shaken by the wind, and when it is formed upward, the planting area can be expanded. Furthermore, when formed below, it is preferable that the lower end of the expansion assisting member is grounded to the floor surface. Since the mesh panel body can be supported by grounding the lower end of the expansion assisting member on the floor surface, the mesh panel body can be maintained horizontally. When grounding to the floor surface, it is preferable to form an anti-slip portion made of rubber or the like on the grounding portion.

  The expansion assisting member is not particularly limited as long as it can attract vines, and can be formed in a structure in which iron wires are arranged in parallel, a mesh structure, or the like, but is preferably a mesh structure. By adopting a network structure, it is possible to satisfactorily attract vines. In addition, in the case of a mesh structure, a single wire mesh formed by one mesh panel or a double wire mesh in which two mesh panels are connected in parallel at a predetermined interval may be used, but the rigidity can be increased. It is preferable to use a double wire mesh because vines can be attracted reliably. In the case of a double wire mesh, for example, it is composed of an inner surface mesh panel, an outer surface mesh panel, and a connecting wire connecting the inner surface mesh panel and the outer surface mesh panel. The shape of the mesh is not particularly limited, and can be a square, a rectangle, a triangle, or the like.

  The enlargement auxiliary member can be formed on the peripheral portion of the mesh panel body by fastening the wire material of the enlargement auxiliary member and the wire material of the mesh panel body, and by using a fastening member that can be fastened, The member can be easily removed. In addition, in the case of a planter installed at a position adjacent to another structure (wall, fence, etc.) on the roof, the expansion assisting member may be connected to the structure.

  The net-like panel body is not particularly limited as long as it has a structure that can attract vines. For example, similarly to the expansion assisting member, even if the net-like panel body is formed of a double wire mesh, a single mesh panel is bent at a predetermined interval. You may form with the metal mesh made into the solid shape by forming a protrusion part. When two mesh panels are used, for example, the upper mesh panel, the lower mesh panel, and the connecting wire connecting the upper mesh panel and the lower mesh panel are used. The shape of the mesh of the mesh panel body is not particularly limited, and includes a square shape, a rectangular shape, a triangular shape, and the like, as well as a shape (rectangular shape having no both ends) in which the four sides are parallel.

  The planter body is planted with soil filled. The material of the planter can be resin such as GRC (glass fiber reinforced lightweight concrete), FRP, etc. whose surface is painted, and its shape The cross section can adopt various shapes such as a cylindrical body having a circular shape, a square shape, a rectangular shape, a polygonal shape, and the like.

  The soil to be filled in the planter body is preferably lightweight so that it can be installed on the rooftop, 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 vines (especially vines of vines), it is preferable to blend 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, and include, for example, vine plants such as Hedera canariensis, Hedera helix, honeysuckle, and Teikakazura.
