Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The invention is mainly used for artificial plant cultivation floors for cultivating plants such as flowers, plants, lawns or ground cover on a concrete roof or veranda. About.

(Prior Art) Generally, when plants and flowers are planted in a place where natural soil does not exist, such as a rooftop or a veranda, pebbles, sand, and the like are conventionally placed in a flowerpot or a box-shaped vegetation floor container. A method of arranging soil, etc. as appropriate, planting flowers and plants in this and arranging it,
A method is used in which soil is placed all over a concrete board and plants are planted on the soil to form a garden.

In addition, these plant cultivation floors usually provide a water-permeable layer such as gravel on the bottom layer, and a sandy layer and a vegetated soil layer are sequentially provided thereon,
Water and fertilizer retained by the water holding capacity and fertilizing capacity in the vegetation soil layer are given to the plants, and excess water is drained through the aquifer.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned conventional plant cultivation floor has a small water retention capacity because the soil cannot be deepened as in a natural alley cultivation floor.

On the other hand, if drainage is worsened and the water retention capacity in the container is increased,
Because the water supply becomes excessive and only aquatic plants can be grown,
Extra water drainage is essential. Therefore, it is necessary to supply water at regular intervals.

In view of such a conventional problem, the present invention increases the water holding capacity by allowing water to be stored only at a certain level or less at the bottom of the cultivation bed, and excess water is quickly drained, and The purpose of the present invention is to provide an artificial plant cultivation floor suitable for being installed on a rooftop or a veranda, in a state where water is retained only by the water retention capacity of the soil component itself in the soil portion.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The gist of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is that a large number of flat-bottomed containers are provided in an outer peripheral wall installed on a support base so as to surround the periphery. A peripheral wall which arranges saucer materials, accommodates a cultivated soil constituent material to a predetermined thickness in the saucer material and in the outer peripheral wall thereon, and has a peripheral wall rising around the saucer material in the saucer material A lower partition is integrally provided, a trough-shaped groove is provided on the top surface of the partition, and a groove which crosses vertically and horizontally is provided on the bottom surface of the saucer, and both ends are opened in the two grooves. A water hole is present on the artificial plant cultivation floor which is vertically penetrated into the partition.

(Action) The artificial plant cultivation floor is supplied with rainwater or artificial water, and when the amount of the cultivation soil constituent material exceeds the water holding capacity of the cultivation soil component itself, the cultivation floor is sequentially accumulated at the bottom of the tray. When the water level becomes higher than the top surface of the partition, the water is collected in the concave groove of the top surface of the partition, drained to the bottom side through the water passage hole, and flows out through the concave groove of the bottom surface of the receiving pan. (Embodiment) Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a concrete support base such as a rooftop concrete floor of a building, on which an artificial plant cultivation floor of the present invention is installed.

The cultivation floor is composed of a large number of saucer materials 2, 2 arranged on the support base 1.
.. Constitute a bottom portion, and an outer peripheral wall 3 is erected on the outer periphery thereof.

Each saucer 2 is integrally formed of styrofoam, and a peripheral wall 5 is integrally raised around a square bottom wall 4 as shown in FIGS. The partition 6 is formed integrally. The partition 6 is formed lower than the peripheral wall 5, and a concave groove 7 is formed on a top surface thereof. A water passage hole 8 is opened in the concave groove 7 by vertically penetrating the partition 6, and a lower end opening thereof is opened in a concave groove 9 formed by vertically and horizontally crossing the lower surface of the bottom wall 4. . Are formed on the upper surface of the bottom wall, and a continuous groove 11 is formed between the protrusions. Also, on the outer surfaces of the four side walls 5, 5,..., A dovetail-shaped screwing concave portion 12 and a dovetail-shaped fitting convex portion 13 fitted into the concave portion 12 are integrally formed symmetrically with each other. .

The fitting bases 13 are fitted into the fitting recesses 12 between the adjoining saucer members 2, 2..., Respectively, so that they cannot be separated from each other.
It is lined up above.

Each of the receiving trays 2, 2,... Contains an organic solid material 14, which is one of the soil constituent materials, in each section divided by the partition 6. The organic solid material has a plane shape substantially the same as the inner shape of each partition portion, and is formed to have a thickness higher than that of the peripheral wall 5.

The organic solid material 14 is mainly composed of an organic fibrous material, for example, bagasse, bamboo stems, wheat straw, millet stems, etc., to which an inorganic material and a binder are added. % And press molded. Further, on the saucer material 2, an organic solid material 14
And the surface soil 15 which is another one of the soil constituent materials is laid all over the outer peripheral wall 3 so that the surface becomes flat. When the surface soil 15 is laid, a material 16 is inserted into the concave groove 7 at the top of the partition 6.

The depth of the saucer 2, the height of the organic solid material 14, and the thickness of the surface soil 15 are adjusted according to the size of the plant to be cultivated.

When water is supplied to the artificial floor for plant cultivation configured as described above by watering or rainfall after installation, the water is received and stored in the saucer 2. When the level of the water stored during the water supply becomes higher than the partition 6, the water flows into the concave groove 7 and is discharged from the water passage hole 8.

In the above embodiment, the organic solid material was used as the soil constituent material.
Although 14 and surface soil 15 are used, a gravel layer is housed at the bottom, and a surface soil layer may be laid on it, or even uniform soil may be used as a whole. .

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the artificial plant cultivation floor of the present invention arranges saucers at the bottom and lays soil components inside and on the bottom, so that water is collected in the saucers. As a result, the water retention capacity is increased, and the inside of each saucer is partitioned by partitions, so that water is stored at the bottom of the saucer for each small section, and the support base has some inclination. The water is retained in the whole area without bias.

Furthermore, when the water level becomes higher than each partition in case of oversupply,
The drainage water is drained from the partition, but at this time, the surrounding water is collected in the concave groove, so the drainage in the soil component material is performed quickly, and there is a vertical and horizontal groove on the bottom of the saucer material However, since the drained water quickly flows out according to the inclination of the support base, water always stays below a certain level in the pan,
The water content of the surface soil for cultivation is appropriately maintained.
