Description

  The present invention relates to a box garden suitable for wall greening facilities, three-dimensional gardening, or three-dimensional vegetable gardens.

  Wall greening facilities are sometimes installed in condominiums, etc. for the purpose of reducing air conditioning costs and preventing global warming. On the other hand, there has been a demand for three-dimensional gardening or three-dimensional vegetable garden that can be easily installed so that it can be used in a corner of a home garden or a veranda in a condominium. In order to enable these, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-74444 describes a pot block devised so as to be easily stacked. The pot block described has the feature that it is easy to irrigate and stack using a slope.

However, there are problems such as the risk that water is consumed more than necessary, harvesting of fruits and vegetables is difficult, plants are difficult to replace, and the whole is likely to fall over.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-74444

  An object of the present invention is to provide a box garden that can be operated with only a minimum amount of water, can be easily harvested from fruits and vegetables, can be easily replaced, and can be safely installed.

  The box garden of the present invention has two or more lower tanks through which water flows, an upper opening, a window on the side surface, a drain hole on the bottom surface, and is stacked on the lower tank. And two or more planters that are stacked, watering means disposed on the planter, and a pump that pumps water from the lower tank and feeds water to the watering means.

  Alternatively, two or more planters having a window on a side surface and having piping that can flow mutually, and a pump for pumping water from one of the planters and feeding water to one of the planters It consists of.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the said planter is provided with the convex part and recessed part which can be connected with each of a side.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the planter is provided with a planting floor that has a size that can be taken in and out of the window and is made of artificial soil.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the planter which has the steel material installed upright and is piled up is fixed to this steel material.

  Further, it is preferable that the lowermost planter is provided with a plate-like protruding member on the window.

  The box garden of the present invention can be operated in a small place by supplying a minimum amount of water, and it is easy to harvest fruits and vegetables and replace plants, and can be safely installed.

  As a result, the land can be used effectively, and agriculture can be carried out in areas close to the consumption area, so that the cost of transporting fresh food can be reduced and, in turn, the Japanese food self-sufficiency rate can be increased.

  Also, in each home, as a three-dimensional gardening or three-dimensional vegetable garden, it can also be used in kitchen gardens where consumers produce fruits and vegetables themselves, and the effect that the safety of the table can be enhanced can get. Or, it is expected to be used as an ornamental to heal the “heart” that is easily devastated in modern society by growing flowers on the verandas of gardens and apartments.

  The present invention is also optimal as a wall greening facility as described above. In the wall surface greening facility using the box garden of the present invention so that there are four wall surfaces with respect to one roof, the cooling effect and the heat retaining effect of the building are enhanced. Furthermore, by adopting a planter made of a synthetic resin containing incinerated ash, durability against ultraviolet rays can be enhanced, and a wall greening facility having a high heat shielding effect against sunlight can be obtained.

  The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a box garden according to the present invention.

  The box garden of the present invention has two or more lower tanks (20) through which water flows, an upper part is opened, a window (11) is provided on a side surface, and a water drain hole (12) is provided on a bottom surface. And two or more planters (10) stacked on the lower tank (20), watering means (30) disposed on the planter (10), and water flows from the lower tank (20) And a pumping pump (22) for feeding water to the watering means (30).

  Furthermore, it has the steel material (14) installed upright, and the planter (10) piled up is fixed to steel material (14). As for the fixing method, holes are formed on both sides and fixed with bolts and nuts, or by any known technique.

  As shown in the figure, the water sprinkling means (30) may be a pipe with a hole in a part of the pipe (21).

  The planter (10) is preferably made of a synthetic resin, but it may be made of ceramic or other materials as well as known planters. Moreover, although the window (11) is substantially V-shaped, it may have any shape as long as the planting floor (13) to be put in the planter (10) can be inserted and removed. Moreover, a planting floor (13) consists of artificial soil, and if it is stored in a bag, it will be easy to handle. Further, the planter (10) is provided with a convex portion and a concave portion that can be connected to the side. By setting it as such a structure, the planter (10) fixed to the steel material (14) installed upright is fixed more firmly. In the example shown in the figure, an example in which stacking is performed so as to be shifted between the upper and lower sides is shown, but stacking may be performed in vertical alignment.

  While the planters (10) are adjacent to each other, as shown in FIG. 2, each of the planters (10) is provided with a convex portion (16) and a concave portion (17) to be freely connected. Any of the well-known techniques may be used for the structure of the convex portion (16) and the concave portion (17).

  Furthermore, the planter (10) located at the bottom is provided with a plate-like projecting member (15) on the window, receiving water dripping from outside through the plant, and minimizing the water that needs to be replenished. Good.

  Moreover, it is good to remove dust etc. by providing a filter in a pumping pump (22).

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a different embodiment of the box garden of the present invention.

  The box garden of the present invention has two or more planters (18) each having a window (11) on the side and provided with piping that can flow mutually, and water flows from one of the planters (18). And it consists of the pumping pump (22) which sends water to one of the planters (18). By configuring in this way, a box garden with a free layout can be obtained even in places where there is a height difference or where it is difficult to stack.

  The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is common in that water supply is minimal and the plant floor and the plant can be easily replaced from the window opened in the planter.

It is a perspective view which shows one Example of the box garden of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the Example from which the box garden of this invention differs.
