  The staircase structure of the present invention is characterized in that plant cultivation units are laminated and disposed under a tread board.

  In the staircase structure of the present invention, it is preferable that the plant cultivation unit is arranged so that it can be pulled out.

  Moreover, in the staircase structure of this invention, it is preferable that a plant cultivation unit has a light source. In that case, it is more preferable that the light emitted from the light source is light having a wavelength that affects the growth of the plant.

  Moreover, in the staircase structure of the present invention, a skylight may be provided above the staircase so that sunlight from the skylight can be used for plant cultivation.

  Moreover, in the staircase structure of this invention, a window may be provided in the side surface of a staircase and the sunlight from a window may be made available for plant cultivation.

  Moreover, in the staircase structure of this invention, it is preferable that a kick board is provided and this kick board is made transparent or semi-transparent.

  In the staircase structure of the present invention, it is preferable that the tread board and the landing are made transparent.

  Therefore, the staircase structure is provided in a house.

  Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, there exists an outstanding effect that cultivation of a plant can be done efficiently in large quantities, without reducing a living space.

It is a front view of the staircase structure concerning Embodiment 1 of the present invention. It is the same side view. It is the schematic of a plant cultivation unit. It is a bottom part expansion front view of a plant cultivation unit. It is the same side view. It is the schematic of the step structure which concerns on Embodiment 2 of this invention. It is the schematic of the step structure which concerns on Embodiment 3 of this invention.

  Hereinafter, although the present invention is explained based on an embodiment, referring to an accompanying drawing, the present invention is not limited only to this embodiment.

Embodiment 1
1 and 2 show a staircase structure K according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the staircase structure K is configured such that a plant cultivation unit U is stacked and disposed under the tread FB of the staircase ST so that it can be pulled out.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the plant cultivation unit U is disposed on the main body 1 that is a frame-like body without a top plate, the water storage section 2 formed on the bottom of the main body 1, and the water storage section 2. The plant culture medium 3 and the light source 4 arranged on the upper part are provided, and the upper middle part of the plant culture medium 3 is made to be rough. Moreover, the plant cultivation unit U can be laminated | stacked up and down by the connection member J (refer FIG. 2). In the figure, reference numeral 5 represents a door, reference numeral G represents a groove, and reference numeral R represents a rail.

  The light emitted from the light source 4 is light having a wavelength that affects the growth of the plant. For example, the light has a wavelength that softens the leaves.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the plant cultivation unit U is arranged under the tread FB by stacking a number of units U corresponding to the number of steps of the staircase ST. That is, a single-layer plant cultivation unit U is disposed under the first step board FB, and a two-layer plant cultivation unit U is disposed under the second step board FB. It is assumed that a three-layer plant cultivation unit U is disposed below the bottom.

  On the bottom surface of the plant cultivation unit U located at the lowermost layer, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a required number of doors 5 are mounted in a predetermined arrangement (two in the illustrated example), and the floor In F, a rail R is laid in a groove G formed corresponding to the door wheel 5. Thereby, as shown with a dashed-two dotted line in FIG. 1, the laminated plant cultivation unit U can be pulled out, and the cultivated plant can be easily maintained.

  The kick plate KB of the staircase ST is transparent or translucent so that the light source 4 of the plant cultivation unit U functions as a footlight.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the plant cultivation unit U is stacked in the space below the tread FB of the staircase ST so that the plant cultivation unit U can be pulled out, so that the cultivation area of the plant can be reduced without reducing the living space. The increase can be achieved and the maintenance can be performed efficiently.

Embodiment 2
FIG. 6 shows a staircase structure K according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

  The second embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment. The skylight CW is provided on the staircase ST, and the step board KB and the landing DB are transparent so that sunlight from the skylight CW is used for plant cultivation. It is supposed to be made. The remaining configuration, operation, and effects of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, since sunlight is used during the daytime, an effect that cannot be obtained in the first embodiment that power consumption is reduced can be obtained.

Embodiment 3
FIG. 7 shows a staircase structure K according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

  The third embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment, in which a window W is provided on the side surface of the staircase ST, and the step board KB and the landing DB are also transparent so that sunlight from the window is used for plant cultivation. It is supposed to be made. The remaining configuration, operation, and effects of the third embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, since sunlight is used during the daytime, an effect that cannot be obtained in the first embodiment that power consumption is reduced can be obtained. Further, since the amount of sunlight irradiated from the window W is larger than that in the second embodiment, the plant grows faster than in the second embodiment.

  As described above, the present invention has been described based on the embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and various modifications can be made.

  In the present embodiment, the kick plate KB is provided. However, the kick plate KB may not be provided depending on the width of the tread plate FB.

  In the third embodiment, the window W is provided on the upper side of the tread board FB. However, the window W may be provided on the lower side of the tread board FB.

  The present invention is applicable to the housing industry.
