Description

The present invention relates to a greening display device used for indoor decoration.

In addition to the scientific action of purifying the air, the plant has been recognized for its psychological action to give comfort and healing to the viewer's heart. For this reason, plants are often placed in places where people gather, such as living spaces and space for attracting customers. House plants have long been known as representatives of such plants. Many houseplants are relatively unaffected by the environment, are easy to care for, and feel natural vegetation, so they have been widely used to date. Recently, as a more artificial greening method, a method of using a unitized greening panel or the like and greening a wall surface or the like, for example, has come to be used (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .

Plant growth requires carbon dioxide, water, and light energy. Carbon dioxide can be taken from indoor air, and light energy can be taken from sunlight, indoor light, or the like that shines through windows. All of these can be ingested by plants autonomously. However, indoors where there is no rainfall, it is necessary to artificially supply only water. Some greening devices using greening panels have automated water supply, but many of them have hidden the water supply pipes so that they are not visible to the public, or conversely, the water supply itself is positive. There are no directing effects.
An object of the present invention is to enhance a display effect by effectively showing a water supply action in a greening display device used for indoor decoration.

A greening display device is provided in which water discharged from the water supply is supplied to the lower water storage container.

In this greening display device, the water discharged from the upper water storage container falls into the lower water storage container, whereby water is supplied to the plant. A certain amount of water is stored in each water storage container and is ingested by the plant planted in the planting container through the water passage hole of the planting container. If water is supplied to the uppermost water storage container, water is automatically supplied to the lower water storage containers in order from the upper stage to the lower stage. If the water discharged from the lowermost water storage container is purified using a filtration device etc. and then pumped to the uppermost water storage container by a pump, a water supply cycle that does not require external supply can be constructed. It is also suitable for use in places where there is no water source.

This greening display device produces a contrast between a plant and a water supply act of static and dynamic. The contrast between the dynamics of water flow and water sound supplied from the upper reservoir to the lower reservoir and the static plant without movement and sound enhances the display effect and draws the viewer's attention In addition, I try not to get bored even if I watch it for a long time.

Side view of greening display device An enlarged side view of a part of the greening display device

Hereinafter, the greening display apparatus of embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
FIG. 1 shows the structure of the green display device 10. The support column 12 stands upright with the upper end 14 and the lower end 16 fixed or pressed against the indoor ceiling and floor, respectively. A blower 18, a water supply tank 20, a greening panel 22, a light emitting panel 24, and a running water tank 26 are arranged on the side of the support 12 in order from the bottom to the top, and are supported by the support 12 so as not to fall down. . The water dropped from the greening panel 22 is temporarily stored in the water supply tank 20 and pumped to the running water tank 26 via a water channel (not shown). The plant 30 planted on the greening panel 22 is swayed by the wind sent upward from the blower 18.

The greening panel 22 and the light emitting panel 24 are arranged one above the other on the upper and lower sides, and each forms a panel wall. The greening panel 22 and the light emitting panel 24 are disposed close to each other so as to be parallel to the support column 12, and the light emitting panel 24 is disposed on the side closer to the support column 12. The pillar 12 is provided with five guides 32a, 32b,... 32e extending in the horizontal direction at equal intervals in the vertical direction, and each greening panel 22 and the light emitting panel 24 are located between the guides 32a, 32b,. It is attached to.

FIG. 2 shows the structure of the greening panel 22. The greening panel 22 is provided with two upper and lower water storage containers 36 on the front surface of the support panel 34 (the light emitting panel 24 side is the rear surface), and a planting container 38 is stored in each of the water storage containers 36. The support panel 34 is a rectangular plate-like body, and the upper side and the lower side are fitted in the lower groove 44 of the guide 32a and the upper groove 46 of the guide 32b, respectively. The greening panel 22 is movable in the horizontal direction along the guides 32a and 32b while sliding between the lower groove 44 and the upper groove 46, and can be attached to or detached from the ends of the guides 32a and 32b.

The water storage container 36 includes a rectangular bottom wall 48, a side wall 50, a front wall 52, and a rear wall 54. The side wall 50 and the front wall 52 are orthogonal to the bottom wall 48, but the rear wall 54 is inclined rearward in a direction away from the front wall 52 as the distance from the bottom wall 48 increases. Since the rear wall 54 of the water storage container 36 is fixed to the support panel 34 by the fastener 56, the bottom wall 48 tilts downward and the front wall 52 tilts forward.

A drain hole 58 is provided in the bottom wall 48. The drain hole 58 is for maintaining a constant amount of water stored in the water storage container 36, and is located near the rear wall 54 and at a position lower than the upper edge of the front wall 52 from one side wall 50 to the other side. It is provided in the shape of a long hole extending over the side wall 50 of the. The water supplied to the water storage container 36 is stored up to the position of the drain hole 58, but is discharged from the drain hole 58 when the water is exceeded. The water discharged from the upper water storage container 36 is supplied to the lower water storage container 36, and again here, when it reaches a certain amount, it is supplied to the lower water storage container 36. Therefore, if water is supplied from the flowing water tank 26 to the uppermost water storage container 36, water is automatically supplied to the seven water storage containers 36 disposed below the water storage container 36. The water discharged from the lowermost water storage container 36 is collected in the water supply tank 20 and transferred to the flowing water tank 26 again through the flowing water channel 28. In the greening display device 10, such a water supply cycle is established.

A water guide panel 60 is attached to the bottom wall 48 along the drain hole 58. The water guide panel 60 includes two panels arranged in parallel at an appropriate distance, and a water guide space 62 formed between the two panels is continuous with the drain hole 58 in a straight line. The water guide panel 60 has the same width as the bottom wall 48, and has a length such that the tip reaches directly above the lower water storage container 36. Since the water discharged from the drain hole 58 is guided to the lower water storage container 36 by the water guide panel 60, the water is not spilled on the way and does not wet the indoor floor or furniture placed on the periphery.

The planting container 38 is provided with water holes 64, 66, 68 on the front wall, the bottom wall, and the side wall, respectively. These water passage holes 64, 66 and 68 are provided so as to be located below the water storage level WL of the water storage container 36. Since the planting container 38 is supported by a spacer 70 provided on the inner wall surface of the water storage container 36 so as not to be in direct contact with the inner wall surface of the water storage container 36, the water supplied to the water storage container 36 has a water passage hole 64, The plants 30 in the planting container 38 are ingested through 66 and 68. Since the planting container 38 is stored in a forward tilting posture in accordance with the forward tilt of the front wall 50 of the water storage container 36, the plant 30 protrudes outward from the front wall of the planting container 36 and is slightly downward due to the action of gravity. It becomes the form of. If the wind sent from the blower 18 hits this, it will shake randomly up and down and right and left, and the effect of attracting the viewer's attention and relaxing the feeling is born.

It is conceivable that the soil in the planting container 38 leaks out from the water holes 64, 66, 68 to the water storage container 36, but the soil having a higher density than water connects the bottom wall 48 and the front wall 52 of the water storage container 36. Since it accumulates at the corner, there is no worry of clogging the drain hole 58. Further, since the planting container 38 is not fixed to the water storage container 36 and can be easily removed, not only can the plant 30 be replanted, but also plants of different varieties can be planted in advance. It can be easily replaced with a planting container.

Similarly to the greening panel 22, the light emitting panel 24 can move in the horizontal direction along the guides 32a and 32b while sliding between the lower groove 72 and the upper groove 74 provided in the guides 32a and 32b. It can be mounted and removed from the end of 32b. The light emitting panel 24 emits light from the entire panel by a built-in light source (not shown) to illuminate the greening panel 22 arranged on the front surface. Furthermore, by supplying light energy from a short distance, the photosynthesis of the plant 30 can be promoted, the growth can be promoted, and the color development can be improved.

The greening panel 22 and the water guide panel 60 can be made of a translucent material such as an acrylic plate. Since the acrylic plate has good processability, high transparency, and excellent durability, it is suitable for manufacturing the greening display device 10 at low cost, and the quality can be kept stable for a long time. In addition, the plant 30 can be clearly seen with high transparency, and an effect of floating in the air can be expected. Further, the light of the light emitting panel 24 can be refracted in various directions according to the density of the flowing water density when the water flows through the water guide panel 60 from the top to the bottom, thereby producing a feeling of fluctuation.

The greening display device 10 is one embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention can be implemented as another embodiment. In particular, the number of greening panels 22 and light emitting panels 24 should be determined according to the height of the ceiling, and the number of guides 32a, 32b,... Moreover, the water storage container 36 provided in the greening panel 22 per sheet may be one, or three or more. Moreover, the drainage hole provided in the bottom wall 48 of the water storage container 36 can be changed to a continuous long hole like the drainage hole 58, and discontinuous holes can be arranged linearly at appropriate intervals. . Furthermore, as the greening display device 10 is simplified, the light emitting panel 24, the water guide panel 60, and the blower 18 can be omitted. When the greening display device 10 is attached to an indoor wall surface or the like, the support column 12 can also be omitted. In this case, the guides 32a, 32b,.
