Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a human being by introducing an animation of a tree, as seen in a forest, into a space in a building where human living activities are performed. To improve the living environment of the people and to create a better living place for both mind and body.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

In recent years, human life has been concentrated in cities with the development of science and technology and industry, and the human living environment, especially the atmospheric environment, is getting worse.

Traditionally, the atmosphere has been
Atmospheric purification such as adsorption of harmful gas and replenishment of oxygen was performed, and an environment suitable for maintaining our lives and living activities was formed.

In other words, forest trees contain fine dust, No _X , S contained in the air.
o At the same time as adsorbing and absorbing harmful substances such as _X , supply fresh oxygen and supply hydrocarbons such as monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, or those with hydroxyl groups and aldehyde groups bonded thereto, diterpenes, It is known to release volatile organic compounds (phytontides) such as phenolic compounds, and these plant bioactive substances can be used for human mental sedation, stability, awakening, blood pressure, muscle strength, respiration, gastrointestinal digestion. It is said to contribute to the physiological activities of human life and the creation of an environment, such as diuresis, sterilization, and insecticide.

However, due to recent urban concentration, the vegetation density of trees in the human living environment has decreased year by year, making it difficult to regenerate against environmental destruction such as air pollution caused by human life, and the living environment has deteriorated. The situation is steadily going on.

As means for improving the deterioration of the urban atmosphere, conventionally, indoor air is removed through a filter to remove suspended matters, and activated carbon is used to remove odors and the like. Although this technique has a certain effect, it only removes harmful substances, and does not provide components that contribute to human physiological activities like forest trees.

Recently, it has been attempted to improve the indoor air environment by dispersing fragrances or essential oils extracted from trees into the room using an air conditioner or the like. However, these are one of the components released by the trees. It is just a club and cannot expect the effect of forest bathing.

Furthermore, potted plants are placed in houses, offices, etc., but these are intended to improve the visual environment, and dissipate components to the extent that they contribute to human physiological activity. You can't get it.

For these reasons, there is an aspiration to make the human living space of a building the same as the forest environment, and there is a strong demand for the development of an artificial forest technology that generates many radiated components in a small space.

[Means for solving the problem]

The present invention pays attention to such a point, has developed a cultivation method capable of generating a large amount of radiated components in a small space, and has succeeded in purifying the air using this, and in more detail, Plants are planted in a predetermined space separated from the human living space, lighting and nutrients are supplied, and at the same time, living using the radiated components of living plants that supplies the air containing the radiated components of the plants to the human living space in the building In the method for improving the environment, the atmosphere in the predetermined space is maintained at a temperature of 25 to 35 ° C. to activate the physiological activity of the plant, and stimulated by an external force such that a foliage of the plant in the predetermined space is damaged. It is intended to provide a method for improving a living environment using a radiation component of a living plant, characterized in that the release of the radiation substance is promoted by giving the substance.

Further, the predetermined space is demarcated from the outside world by a transparent plate made of glass, plastic or the like, and a high-speed air flow is applied to the plant branches and leaves in the predetermined space to stimulate the plant branches and leaves.

In addition, by introducing heated air into the vegetation space of the plants in the predetermined space, or by irradiating heat radiation to the cultivation floor where the plants or the plants in the predetermined space are vegetated, Is maintained at 25 to 35 ° C.

(Operation)

When plants are cultivated by the above-mentioned method, the physiological activity of the trees is activated, and the emission components are extremely increased.
Therefore, even in a small space, an air purifying action similar to that of a natural forest of a large area occurs, and if this atmosphere is supplied to a human living space, the physiological activity of humans can be enhanced and the effect of mental stability can be obtained as in the forest. be able to.

〔Example〕

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, a plant cultivation facility 1 used in the present invention is provided with a bed 3 on a building 2 to form a cultivation floor 4, and a plant 5, 5 such as a tree. Vegetation.

The plant cultivation equipment 1 of the present invention may be located anywhere in a building, such as a basement, a roof, a center of a hall or a wall,
Alternatively, it can be provided on a terrace or the like. FIG. 1 shows an example in which the device is installed on the roof of an apartment or office building, FIG. 2 shows an example in which the device is installed in a basement, and FIG. 3 shows an example of a device which is installed in the center of a hall such as a lobby.

When using natural daylighting, it is preferable to provide it on the rooftop, bay window, terrace, etc., but it is also possible to provide it in basement, lobby, hall, etc. if artificial light, glass fiber, etc. are used to introduce light.

In addition, the plant cultivation facility 1 can be provided adjacent to a building.

The cultivation floor 4 is not particularly limited, and soil generally used for planting and potting can be used.
An artificial cultivation floor using peat moss, soft silica, foamed resin, or the like may be used.

In the present invention, the plant 5 can be widely used, and trees vegetating in forests such as Abies sachalinensis, Japanese cypress, Japanese cedar, Ginkgo, Niokiba, Eucalyptus, and Kusu can be used. Plants such as pothos can also be used.

 In particular, trees vegetated in temperate or subarctic zones are preferred.

 These plants 5,5 are preferably young trees.

In the present invention, a young tree means a state having a large physiological activity, and those from a young tree to a middle age are used. Generally, first to tenth graders, preferably third to sixth graders, are used.

One of these plants 5,5 can be used alone, but the plants have different phytoncide components depending on their types, and the physiological activities given to humans are different based on this. Therefore, it is desirable to select a type according to the purpose or to mix two or more types.

In the present invention, plants are densely planted in order to make the plant vegetation space as small as possible and to increase the space efficiency. The dense vegetation in the present invention means that vegetation is denser than the vegetation density in a general forest (for example, every 15 cm), and artificially creates a dense vegetation state.

Plants such as vegetated trees are cultivated at high temperatures close to the upper limit of the temperature suitable for the plants to inhabit. Generally 15-35
C., preferably in the range of 25 to 35C. By cultivating at a high temperature, the physiological activity of the plant is activated, and the generation of the radiation component increases.

For heating, in addition to heating with the electric heater 21 as shown in FIG. 1, a steam radiator, a hot air heater using gas or oil, radiation heating, or the like can be used.

If necessary, artificial lighting 22 is provided as shown in FIG.

Simultaneously with the heating, a far infrared ray having a wavelength of 2 to 7 μ, preferably 3 to 6 μ can be applied to the plant or cultivation bed with ceramics or the like. By irradiating far-infrared rays, germs are eliminated and plants are protected from pathogens.
It has the effect of changing the composition of the radiation component.

In the present invention, plants are cultivated in a state where physiological activities are extremely vigorous. Therefore, nutrients such as fertilizers need to be sufficiently fertilized, and it is desirable to automatically control fertilization, temperature control, and watering.

In addition, the vegetated plant can increase the leaf area and increase the number of branches and leaves by performing pinning. Therefore, the radiation component can be increased by cutting the plants, and the trees can be shaped by the cutting to create a visual beauty.

By cultivating it at high temperature, it emits radiation components,
The obtained air containing the radiation component is supplied to the human living space in the building.

In this case, natural convection can be used to feed the human living space. However, in order to increase the efficiency, the plant vegetation space 6 is connected to the external environment 7 as shown in FIGS. Define the atmosphere of the plant vegetation space 6 when necessary
8, can be supplied to the human living space 10 through the duct 9.

Further, as a partition for forming the plant vegetation space 6, a transparent plate such as glass or plastic can be used, or an air curtain may be used.

When using a transparent plate made of glass, plastic, etc., the surface may be cleaned by applying an anti-fog agent, coating it with silicon resin, Teflon resin, etc., and installing a device that sprays water on the plate. it can.

The air containing the diffusion component is sent to the human living space 10 using the first blower 8 as shown in FIG.
Can be taken into the plant vegetation space 6 through the second duct 11 and the second blower 12 to circulate the human living space 10 and the plant vegetation space 6.

Alternatively, outside air outside the building 2 may be taken in through the third duct 13 and supplied to the human living space 10 through the plant vegetation space 6.

In this case, the taken-in outside air may be purified through a filter material such as the filter 14 and sent to the plant vegetation space. In addition, No _X and So _X can be removed by passing through a living body such as cherry, sycamore, pseudocacia or ginkgo in combination with a filtering material.

In the present invention, it is desirable to stimulate the plant by applying an external force in order to promote the generation of a diffusion component. In a plant, when a small wound is caused on a branch or leaf, physiological activity is activated to heal it, and the generation of a diffusion component is increased.

In order to apply an external force to the plant, it can be performed by injecting a high-speed air flow into the plant. As shown in FIG.
This can be done by injecting a high velocity air stream through 8,18.

Also, as shown in FIG. 5, a flexible string 19, 19 such as a tape, a rope, a sword, or a carriage 20 having a suspended body
By suspending and running on 3, the strings 19 can be brought into contact with the plant 5 to apply external force. In this case, when the work of giving a stimulus is not performed, the aesthetic appearance is not spoiled by bringing the carriage 20 to one side and stopping it.

Furthermore, the administration of a dwarfing agent can also increase the generation of a radiation component.
