DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an embodiment of a unit-type biotope according to the present invention.
[0007]
The biotope according to the present invention includes a container container 1 for a pond for inhabiting aquatic organisms, and a plurality of containers for forming a planting space that are disposed around the container container 1 for a pond. It is comprised from the container-like container 2 for planting. Planted plants are selected for the purpose of inhabiting, introducing and attracting various or selective organisms. In addition, the combination of the container-like containers 1 and 2 is not limited thereto, and a movable and easily installed biotope can be realized by arbitrarily combining a single or a plurality of containers. Moreover, you may make it connect the container-like container 1 for ponds as needed.
[0008]
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the container-like containers 1 and 2 of FIG. The container is made of resin or steel and has an open top and a watertight bottom. The planar shape of the container is rectangular (one side length is an integral multiple of the other side length, allowing various arrangements), hexagons, triangles, etc. Form a continuous vegetation base with a high degree of variability. A pair of concave grooves m are formed at the bottom of the container-like containers 1 and 2, and the container-like containers are transported by inserting a fork of a forklift into the concave grooves m. Instead of the concave groove m, it may be integrated with a carriage or a wheel so that it can be moved easily.
[0009]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a method of connecting a plurality of container-like containers 2 for vegetation. A hook-shaped walking path connecting member 3a is inserted into the wall of an adjacent container-like container so that a person can walk for management and appreciation. Further, a notch k is formed in a part of the wall of the container-like container, and the notch connecting member 3b is inserted along the notch k so that a soil layer is also formed on the connecting member 3b. As indicated by the dotted lines in the figure, the continuity of the soil space is maintained and movement between container-like containers such as soil organisms is ensured.
[0010]
In addition, the container-like containers 1 for ponds are also connected to each other by a walking path connecting member 3a and a notch connecting member 3b so that a person can walk for management and appreciation, and a container such as aquatic organisms. Movement between containers may be enabled.
[0011]
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of the unit-type biotope of the present invention. The upper ends of the container container 1 for pond and the container container 2 for planting are connected by a connecting member 3a for walking paths. In the figure, a wall member 5 for retaining soil is attached to the container 2 for planting on the left side, and thereby a planting base (an artificial aggregate layer 6, an artificial lightweight soil layer 7, which will be described later, normal soil such as field soil, etc.) The soil layer 8) can be provided with an inclined surface.
[0012]
A mat-like covering member 4 made of a fibrous material such as coconut shell having appropriate irregularities or roughness on the surface is coated on the upper surface of the connecting member 3a for walking path and the wall member 5 and the other wall portion of the container. One end of the covering member 4 is extended in the container-like container 2 for planting, and the other end is extended in the container-like container 2 for pond. In addition, when the adjacent container-like containers are container-like containers 2 for planting, both ends of the covering member 4 are extended in the container-like container 2, and the container-like container 2 is not connected to anything. In this case, the end of the covering member 4 is extended so as to be in contact with the container installation surface 9 such as the ground or floor.
[0013]
This covering member 4 takes into consideration the landscape of the biotope space, prevents the fall of small animals such as insects, or allows the organisms that have fallen into the pond to rise, and facilitates movement between container-like containers. .
[0014]
In the container-like container 2 for planting, a planting base composed of an artificial aggregate layer 6, an artificial lightweight soil layer 7, and a normal soil layer 8 such as field soil is installed in this order from the bottom. The ratios of the normal aggregate layer 8 such as the artificial aggregate layer 6, the artificial lightweight soil layer 7, and the field soil are variable depending on the conditions of the installation place of the unit type biotope of the present invention. Similar planting bases 6 to 8 can also be installed in a container container for ponds. In order to facilitate replanting of plants as well as direct planting, planting is performed by arranging containers such as pots and planters in a container-like container and surrounding them with a soil material or the like.
[0015]
In addition, you may make it make a height difference in the installation position of the container-like container 2 for planting with respect to the container-like container 1 for ponds, and also connect container-like containers with different depths. Thus, the ground with a difference in the height of the planting surface may be formed.
[0016]
Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above-described embodiment, adjacent container-like containers are connected by a connecting member, but the connecting member may be omitted and only a covering member may be formed. A pedestrian environment can be formed, and the continuity between the planting bases in the container-like container and between the grounding ground and the planting base in the container-like container can be maintained. It enables movement between planting bases in a container.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform installation, movement, and removal in a short period of time and at low cost without the need for new waterproofing work or equipment work. In addition, since it is lightweight and the entire shape can be freely configured, it is possible to form a biotope that effectively uses space regardless of the installation location, area, and shape of the building. Furthermore, biodiversity in the biotope space can be improved by easily connecting container containers for ponds.
