Description

  The present invention relates to a wall surface greening system for greening a wall surface of a structure.

  Conventionally, wall greening has been performed by planting the walls of buildings and civil engineering structures (structures) for the purpose of alleviating the heat island phenomenon in urban areas, absorbing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and creating amenity spaces. .

And in this kind of wall greening system A, as shown, for example in FIG.2 and FIG.3, the greening unit provided with the soil base (base) 1a to which planting is performed, and the frame member 1b holding this soil base 1a There is one in which 1 is arranged in parallel along the wall surface T1 of the structure T (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2007-222201 A

  However, in the above-mentioned wall greening system A, since the greening unit 1 is installed by detachably fixing the frame member 1b to the trough member 2 having a substantially concave cross section extending in the horizontal direction, the structure is always provided. The wall surface T1 of T is covered with the greening unit 1 (wall surface greening system A). For this reason, when the structure T is a building, sunlight is blocked by the greening unit 1 so that the illuminance on the side of the building T is reduced, and the indoor lighting from the opening such as the window of the building T is obstructed. Becomes darker. In addition, there is a problem that the burden of the utility cost is increased because the indoor lighting is hindered by the wall greening.

  In addition, there is a case where it is desired to grow a plant quickly at a low temperature such as in winter. In such a case, the plant grounding surface 1c (the surface of the cultivating base 1a) of the greening unit 1 is orthogonal to the solar rays, and solar heat is generated. By sufficiently absorbing (heating) the greening unit 1, it becomes possible to grow plants efficiently in a short time. However, in the wall surface greening system A described above, the greening unit 1 is always fixed in a state where the plant ground contact surface 1c is aligned with the wall surface T1 of the structure T, and therefore cannot sufficiently absorb solar heat. There was a problem that the growth of plants could not be promoted.

  In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a wall greening system that enables daylighting to a structure (the interior of a building) while performing wall greening, and that can promote plant growth at low temperatures such as in winter. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following means.

  In the present invention, since the greening unit is tilted from the state of being installed so as to cover the wall surface of the structure, for example, an opening is formed between adjacent greening units. It becomes possible to irradiate the structure side with sunlight. Thereby, when the structure is a building, indoor lighting can be performed while greening the wall surface.

  In addition, for example, when it is desired to promote plant growth at low temperatures such as in winter, wall greening is applied to the structure by tilting the greening unit so that the plant ground plane (base surface) is orthogonal to the sunlight. It is possible to sufficiently absorb (heat collection) solar heat while applying.

  Further, in the wall surface greening system of the present invention, a gear is provided in the greening unit, and an endless first transmission member is wound around the gears of the plurality of greening units to rotate the first transmission member. It is desirable that the plurality of greening units be configured to tilt simultaneously by being moved and rotating the gears of the plurality of greening units.

  In the present invention, since the first transmission member can be rotated and the plurality of greening units can be tilted at the same time, it is possible to easily and efficiently light indoors and heat each greening unit. It becomes possible.

  Furthermore, in the wall surface greening system of the present invention, an electric motor having a rotating shaft is provided, and an endless second transmission member is wound around the rotating shaft of the electric motor and at least one gear of the greening unit. More preferably, the first transmission member is configured to rotate by driving the electric motor to rotate the second transmission member and rotating a gear of the at least one greening unit. .

  In the present invention, the second transmission member and thus the first transmission member can be rotated by driving the electric motor, and the plurality of greening units can be tilted simultaneously. Thereby, it is possible to more easily and efficiently perform indoor lighting and heat collection of each greening unit.

  In the wall surface greening system of the present invention, it is more desirable that a control means for controlling the driving of the electric motor is provided.

  In this invention, it becomes possible to tilt the plurality of greening units automatically according to the position of the sun by controlling the drive of the electric motor according to the position of the sun, for example. Thereby, it is possible to more easily and efficiently perform indoor lighting and heat collection of each greening unit.

  According to the wall surface greening system of the present invention, since the greening unit is provided so as to be tiltable with respect to the wall surface of the structure, it is possible to perform daylighting indoors when the structure is a building. A bright room can be realized while applying, and the burden of utility costs can be reduced.

  In addition, by tilting the greening unit so that the plant ground plane is orthogonal to the sunlight, the greening unit can sufficiently absorb solar heat (heat collection), for example, at low temperatures such as in winter, It becomes possible to grow plants efficiently in a shorter time.

  Further, it is possible to efficiently perform irrigation by tilting the greening unit during rainfall.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 1, the wall surface greening system which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The present embodiment relates to a wall surface greening system for greening an outer surface and an inner wall surface of a building (structure).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the wall surface greening system B of the present embodiment is formed in a rectangular plate shape with a base 1 a to be planted, and is arranged in parallel along the wall surface T <b> 1 of the building T. A first chain (first transmission member) 3, a second chain (second transmission member) 4, an electric motor (electric motor) 5 disposed at the top of the wall surface greening system B, and an electric motor 5 A control means 6 such as a computer for controlling driving is provided.

  The greening unit 1 is supported by a support frame 7 disposed between the building T and a plurality of the greening units 1 are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction along the wall surface T1 of the building T. Further, in the greening unit 1 of the present embodiment, a rotation shaft (not shown) extending in the horizontal direction is integrally fixed to the upper end portion, and a gear (gear) 8 is attached to the rotation shaft. . Each greening unit 1 can be tilted about the rotation axis so that the lower shaft is moved upward from the state along the wall surface T1 of the building T with the rotation shaft supported by the support frame 7 in a rotatable manner ( It is provided in a freely rotatable manner. That is, each greening unit 1 is provided so as to be tiltable so that the plant ground contact surface 1c (the surface of the base 1a) faces upward from the state of facing the horizontal direction along the wall surface T1 of the building T.

  Then, an endless first chain 3 is wound around each gear 8 around the plurality of greening units 1 arranged in parallel in the vertical direction. An endless second chain 4 is wound around the gear 8 of the uppermost greening unit 1 and the gear 5b attached to the rotating shaft 5a of the electric motor 5.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the greening unit 1 may be configured to include a base 1a and a frame member 1b that holds the base 1a. The plant planted on the base 1a is preferably, for example, moss, sedum, vines, etc., but is not particularly limited. Even in the method of planting the plant on the base 1a, the plant 1a is directly No particular limitation is required, such as sowing to grow a plant, or providing a depression in the base 1a in advance and planting a pot seedling in this depression.

  In the wall surface greening system B of the present embodiment configured as described above, when the electric motor 5 is driven and the rotary shaft 5a rotates, the gear 5b attached to the rotary shaft 5a rotates, and the second chain 4 together with this. Rotate. By the rotation of the second chain 4, the gear 8 of the uppermost greening unit (at least one greening unit) 1 rotates, and the first chain 3 rotates as the gear 8 rotates. And since the 1st chain 3 is wound around each gear 8 of the some greening unit 1, the gear 8 of each greening unit 1 rotates with rotation of the 1st chain 3, and it is on wall surface T1 of the building T The greening units 1 installed so as to cover the wall surface T1 are tilted at the same time.

  Thereby, the opening 9 is formed between the greening units 1 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, and sunlight is irradiated to the building T side through the opening 9. For this reason, by tilting the greening unit 1 during the daytime, it is possible to daylight indoors from openings such as windows of the building T1, and even when wall greening is performed, the room becomes bright and extra light heat is generated. There is no cost burden.

  At this time, since the electric motor 5 is driven and the second chain 4 and thus the first chain 3 is rotated, the plurality of greening units 1 are tilted at the same time, so that the indoor lighting can be easily and efficiently performed. It is done. Further, when the driving of the electric motor 5 is controlled by the control means 6 according to the position of the sun, for example, the plurality of greening units 1 are automatically tilted according to the position of the sun. In addition, lighting in the room can be efficiently performed.

  On the other hand, for example, when it is desired to promote the growth of plants planted on the base 1a of the greening unit 1 at low temperatures such as in winter, the electric motor 5 is driven so that the plant ground plane 1c is orthogonal to the sunlight. The greening unit 1 is tilted. When the greening unit 1 is tilted in this way, solar heat is sufficiently absorbed (heated) by the greening unit 1 (base 1a), and the plant is efficiently grown in a short time.

  Also in this case, the electric motor 5 is driven and the second chain 4 and thus the first chain 3 is rotated, so that the plurality of greening units 1 are tilted at the same time. It is done. Further, when the driving of the electric motor 5 is controlled by the control means 6 according to the position of the sun, for example, the plurality of greening units 1 are automatically tilted according to the position of the sun. And heat collection is achieved efficiently. Therefore, a plant will grow efficiently and reliably in a shorter time.

  Moreover, irrigation can be performed efficiently by tilting the greening unit 1 during rainfall.

  Therefore, in the wall surface greening system B of the present embodiment, the greening unit 1 is tilted from the state where it is installed so as to cover the wall surface T1 along the wall surface T1 of the building T, so Since the opening 9 is formed, the sunlight can be irradiated to the building T side through the opening 9. As a result, the indoor lighting of the building T can be performed while the wall surface is being greened, and a bright room can be realized while the wall surface is being greened, thereby reducing the burden of utility costs.

  Further, for example, when it is desired to promote the growth of plants at low temperatures such as in winter, the greening unit 1 is tilted so that the plant ground contact surface 1c is orthogonal to the sunlight, so that the building T is greened while the wall is greened. It becomes possible for the unit 1 to sufficiently absorb solar heat (heat collection). This makes it possible to grow plants efficiently in a shorter time at low temperatures such as in winter.

  Furthermore, it becomes possible to perform irrigation efficiently by tilting the greening unit 1 during rain.

  Moreover, in the wall surface greening system B of the present embodiment, the first chain 3, the second chain 4, and the electric motor 5 are configured so that the second chain 4 and the first chain 3 are driven by the driving of the electric motor 5. The plurality of greening units 1 can be tilted simultaneously. Thereby, it becomes possible to aim at indoor lighting and heat collection of each greening unit 1 more easily and efficiently.

  Further, at this time, a control means 6 for controlling the driving of the electric motor 6 is provided. By controlling the driving of the electric motor 5 in accordance with the position of the sun by the control means 6, a plurality of greening units 1 are automatically provided. Can be tilted according to the position of the sun. As a result, it is possible to more easily and efficiently light indoors and heat the greening units 1.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of the wall surface greening system based on this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said one Embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the meaning, it can change suitably. For example, in the present embodiment, the second chain 4, the electric motor 5, and the control unit 6 are provided, and a plurality of the greening units 1 are tilted simultaneously and automatically. The plurality of greening units 1 may be tilted simultaneously by manually rotating the gear 8 and rotating the first chain 3 together with the rotation of the gear 8. Further, for example, only the greening unit 1 covering an opening such as a window of the building T may be tilted so that the indoor lighting can be achieved, and a plurality of the greening units 1 are individually tilted. May be.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a rotation shaft is fixed to the upper end portion of the greening unit 1, and the rotation unit extending in the horizontal direction is supported by the support frame 7 so that the greening unit 1 can be installed in the building T. From the state along the wall surface T1, the lower end is tilted about the rotation axis so as to move upward. On the other hand, in the present invention, the greening unit 1 may be provided so as to be tiltable with respect to the wall surface T1, for example, a rotation shaft is fixed to one side end of the greening unit 1, and the vertical direction is The extending rotation shaft is supported by the support frame 7 so as to be rotatable, and the greening unit 1 can be tilted so as to move the other side end portion in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction) from the state along the wall surface T1 of the building T. May be provided. Even in this case, the greening unit 1 can be tilted to irradiate the building T side with sunlight so that indoor lighting can be achieved. Moreover, it is possible to collect more solar heat by tilting the greening unit 1 as compared with the state where the building T is installed along the wall surface T1.

  In the present embodiment, the first transmission member and the second transmission member are the first chain 3 and the second chain 4, but the first transmission member and the second transmission member may be belts, respectively. .
