  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a greening block A in the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a left side view of the greening block A. FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the greening block A. FIG. FIG. 4 is a front view of the greening block A. FIG. The greening block A of the present invention is characterized by a three-dimensional shape, and will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the greening block A mainly includes a basic block portion 1, a planting groove portion 2, and a support surface 3. The basic block portion 1 is a cuboid in terms of external shape. The “basic block” described in the claims includes various blocks that are stacked and fixed, such as a hook block and a retaining wall block. In this embodiment, the hook block is used. In the basic block portion 1 of the present embodiment, a hole having an elliptical cross section is opened in the vertical and horizontal directions (see FIGS. 2 and 3). This hole is for reinforcing the block fence by a method such as passing a reinforcing bar or filling mortar or concrete when constructing the greening block A as a block fence. The “cuboid” described in claim 1 includes those having a structure necessary as a basic block, such as a rectangular or circular hole.
The planting groove 2 is formed in an L shape in side view by a bottom plate 2a and a side wall 2b provided on the front surface of the bottom plate 2a (see FIG. 1). The rear surface of the bottom plate 2a of the planting groove 2 is joined to the front surface of the basic block 1, and the basic block 1 and the planting groove 2 are integrated. In addition, it is preferable for securing the strength to form a triangular joining portion 2c on the rear surface side of the bottom plate 2a in a side view and to join the front surface of the basic block portion 1 in a wide area.
The planting groove portion 2 is provided horizontally from one end to the other end of the front surface of the basic block portion 1 (see FIG. 4), and the bottom plate 2a is provided so as to be positioned at the lower end of the front surface of the basic block portion 1. (See FIG. 2).
The support surface 3 protrudes from the upper end of the front surface of the basic block portion 1 (see FIG. 1). In the present embodiment, the support surface 3 is provided horizontally from one end to the other end of the front surface of the basic block portion 1 (see FIG. 4), and is a rectangle having the same size as the planting groove portion 2 in plan view. (See FIG. 3).

  FIG. 5 is an external view of the greening block fence X constructed by the greening block A. FIG. Since the greening block A has both the basic block part 1 and the planting groove part 2 as viewed from the front, and the side faces are vertical and have no irregularities, they can be closely attached and arranged as a greening block fence X when arranged vertically and horizontally. Moreover, the flower 10 can be planted in the planting groove part 2 of the greening block 塀 X. Since there is no wall on the side surface of the planting groove 2, the portion is lighter. Therefore, the greening blocks A can be stacked in multiple stages to form the greening block 塀 X. When constructing as greening block 塀 X, reinforce the greening block 塀 X by passing a reinforcing bar through the hole provided in the basic block part 1 and filling mortar or concrete. Since it is performed only in the basic block portion 1 and not in the planting groove portion 2, it looks good as a flower bed and does not interfere with the growth of the flower 10.

  When the greening block A is constructed side by side, the adjacent planting groove portions 2 are connected to each other, and a continuous long planting groove portion 2 can be formed. By forming the continuous long planting groove part 2, it becomes possible to spread the soil 11 continuously, the root of the flower 10 can be stretched horizontally, and the freedom degree of planting increases. Large flowers 10 can be planted, and can be planted in a free arrangement without being limited to block units. Even when the planting pot 12 is installed in the planting groove 2, the length of the planting pot 12 is not limited, and the planting pot 12 can be installed freely from the small planting pot 12 to the large planting pot 12. can do. Moreover, even if it is the planting groove part 2 of the uppermost stage, since the support surface 3 has an effect which avoids strong sunlight similarly to a camellia, it is easy to grow the flower 10.

  FIG. 6 is a left side view of the greening block 塀 X. When the greening block A is installed vertically, the bottom plate 2a of the planting groove portion 2 of the upper greening block A is supported by the support surface 3 of the lower greening block A. Since the dimensions before and after contact are larger than when supporting the weight of the greening block fence X only with the basic block portion 1, it is possible to construct a strong block fence that is difficult to collapse even during an earthquake.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the greening block A has planting groove drain holes 4 at the center of both left and right ends of the bottom plate 2 a of the planting groove 2, and support surface water at the center of both left and right ends of the support surface 3. A punch hole 5 is provided. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the planting groove drain hole 4 and the support surface drain hole 5 are provided at the same position in plan view. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, when the greening block A is constructed vertically, the support surface drainage hole 5 of the lower greening block A and the planting groove drainage hole 4 of the upper greening block A are connected. The surface 3 does not block the planting groove drain hole 4. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the greening blocks A are installed side by side, the planting groove drain holes 4 and the support surface drain holes 5 of the adjacent greening blocks A are connected to each other, and the drain holes 8 are integrated. Form.

  As described above, since the drain hole 8 is formed, excess water accumulated in the planting groove 2 due to rain or the like can be drained. If the filter 9 is installed in the drain hole 8, only excess water can be drained without causing the soil 11 spread in the planting groove 2 to flow out.

  In the present embodiment, the planting groove drain hole 4 and the support surface drain hole 5 are provided at the left and right ends, but it is not necessary to limit to this position. It may be provided near the center of the bottom plate 2a and the support surface 3, and the number thereof may be one or plural. However, it is preferable to provide a hole at the end as in the present embodiment because the formation of the greening block A is easier and the strength is less reduced compared to the case where it is provided near the center.

  Moreover, if the slope which falls toward the support surface drain hole 4 is formed in the upper surface of the support surface 3, it will become easy to collect the rainwater which fell on the uppermost support surface 3, and the rainwater was planted in the planting groove part 2. The flower 10 can be supplied.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a positioning convex portion 6 is provided on the upper surface of the basic block portion 1 of the greening block A, and a positioning concave portion 7 is provided on the bottom surface. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 6, when the greening block A is vertically stacked and constructed, the positioning convex part 6 of the lower greening block A and the positioning concave part 7 of the upper greening block A are engaged. Thereby, the positioning at the time of construction of the greening block A becomes easy, and the intensity | strength with respect to the horizontal external force of the greening block 塀 X after construction is increased.

As described above, the greening block fence X constructed using the greening block A is a block fence that can be planted (see FIG. 5). Moreover, the planting pot 12 can also be installed in addition to being able to plant the flower 10 by spreading the soil 11 in the continuous long planting groove part 2.
Furthermore, since the planting groove 2 and the support surface 3 are similar in appearance to the veranda and the wall of the apartment where people live, they are easy to match the cityscape.

  And as shown in FIG. 9, you may construct the greening block fence X by using the greening block A in part, combining with the block Z for general. When constructing the greening block every other step, the supporting surface 3 cannot support the upper greening block, so the supporting surface 3 is not necessary. In that case, you may construct using the greening block B mentioned later.

  Although there is no limitation in particular in the material of the greening block A, For example, it forms with concrete. In order to construct the greening block fence X using the greening block A, it is necessary to prepare many greening blocks A of the same shape. Therefore, from the viewpoint of productivity, it is preferable to manufacture with concrete suitable for mass production.

Next, the greening block B in 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing an example of the greening block B of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a side view showing another example of the greening block B of the present invention. The greening block B is not provided with the support surface 3. The planting groove 2 is fixed slightly above the lower end on the front surface of the basic block 1. In FIG. 8, the planting groove 2 is provided near the middle stage of the basic block 1. In this greening block B, since the planting groove part 2 does not need to be located at the lower end of the front surface of the basic block part 1, the planting groove part 2 may be provided at any position in the vertical direction. Since the rest of the configuration is substantially the same as in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same members, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

  Since the greening block B does not have the support surface 3, when the greening block B is installed vertically, only the basic block 1 supports the weight of the block fence. However, when the planting groove portion 2 is smaller than the basic block portion 1 or when the lightweight plant flower 10 is planted in the planting groove portion 2, the shape of this embodiment is not a problem. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, when the greening block B is constructed on the uppermost stage of the greening block 塀 X, or when the general cocoon block is constructed on the upper stage of the greening block B even if it is not the uppermost stage Since there is nothing to block in the height direction, tall flowers 10 exceeding the height of the greening block B can be planted. Also in this embodiment, if the greening block B is constructed side by side, a continuous long planting groove 2 can be formed, and the effect is the same as that of the greening block A of the first embodiment.
