DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the connection structure of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The connection structure 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 is made of a hard synthetic resin material in the case of the present embodiment, and a series of columnar protrusions 3 are arranged at substantially equal intervals on a substrate 2 made of a flat rectangular plate. It has a structure with multiple protrusions.
Here, the material of the connection structure 1 can be appropriately changed according to the use, and metal, porcelain, and other appropriate materials can be used, and is not particularly limited to the examples.
[0006]
In the case of the illustrated example, the protrusions 3 are provided in a total of nine rows and columns on the substrate 2 in a total of nine rows. The cylindrical portion has a truncated cone shape with an opening 3a at the bottom surface of the substrate 2 and closing the top portion 3b. (See FIG. 4).
Moreover, the 1st connection structure part and the 2nd connection structure part are formed as a connection means to the vertical and horizontal of this connection structure 1. FIG.
The 1st connection component consists of the latching receiving part 4 and the latching protrusion 5 which were provided in the both ends of vertical and horizontal (for example, let it be horizontal).
[0007]
In the illustrated example, the latch receiving portion 4 is folded back into a substantially mountain shape at substantially the same height as the projecting portion 3 (which may be higher or lower than the projecting portion 3 as required). 4a is formed.
Moreover, the latching protrusion 5 consists of the protrusion piece which inclines slightly back so that it can fit in the said locking groove part 4a.
[0008]
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6, one of the connecting structures 1 and 1 'connected to the front and rear (referred to as 1 and 1' for the sake of explanation) is connected to the engaging groove portion 4a 'of one (rear) connecting structure 1' (the front (front)). The locking projection piece 5 of the connecting structure is fitted and locked.
At the time of this connection, the connecting portion of both connecting structures may be sealed by, for example, fitting a seal member S into the gap of the locking groove portion 5a ′.
In the case of the illustrated example, the locking concave groove portions 4a and 4a 'are formed of a groove having an inverted cross-section substantially V or U shape inclined slightly rearward, so that the locking protrusions 5 and 5' are appropriately inclined. Can be engaged, and by setting the thickness of the groove of the locking groove slightly larger than the thickness of the locking protrusion, the connection is made with some bending according to the inclination and unevenness of the installation surface be able to.
[0009]
Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the second connecting component is engaged with the receiving portion 6 having the recessed groove portions 6a provided at both ends of the other of the vertical and horizontal sides (for example, vertical) and the recessed groove portions 6a. It consists of a projecting piece 7.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the protruding piece 7 of one connecting structure 1 is fitted and locked to the concave groove portion 6 a ″ of the other connecting structure 1 ″, thereby connecting the connecting structures adjacent in the vertical direction. (1 and 1 ″) can be connected without gaps.
Here, the projecting piece 7 protrudes horizontally in parallel with the substrate 2, and the receiving portion 6 projects horizontally so that the projecting piece 7 is aligned with the recessed groove portion 6 a.
[0010]
FIG. 7 shows a different embodiment of the second connection component.
Both of the second connecting components are composed of a receiving part 6 having a concave groove 6a, and have a structure in which both are connected via a separate locking tool 7 '.
In this case, since the corrugated plate-like spring material is used as the separate locking member 7 ′, the adjacent connecting structural members 1 and 1 can be bent and connected.
Even when this connection is made, the connection portions can be sealed by closely contacting the receiving portions 6 and 6 facing each other or by closing the gap with a seal member (not shown).
[0011]
As a result, a large number of connecting structures connected in the left-right direction are set to a surface in which each substrate 2 is continuously connected, and the clearance S1 between the protrusion 3 and the locking receiving portion 4 and the protrusion 3 and the protrusion 3 Since the gap S2 between the gaps S3 and the gap S3 between the protrusions 3 and the locking protrusions 5 are aligned by the adjacent connecting structures, a series of flow paths L that are continuous in the left-right direction can be formed (FIG. 6). reference).
In the front-rear direction, the engagement points of the first connection components 4 and 5 function as a series of peripheral walls that form the flow path.
[0012]
Moreover, since the connection structure is connected without a gap at the time of connection, there is a waterproof effect.
If the engagement portion is sealed, the waterproof effect can be further enhanced.
And a crushed stone and soil are put into the part enclosed by the surrounding wall which the said 1st connection structure part forms, a plant is planted, or a lawn is planted.
Therefore, if this connection structure is connected and laid on the rooftop or the like, a rooftop garden can be constructed.
[0013]
The connection structure 1 formed in this manner is placed on the installation surface for use, but may be fixed or locked to the installation surface.
As a fixing method, known fixing means such as a method of adhering to an installation surface using an adhesive, a method of fixing using a fixing screw or a fixing bolt can be used.
Moreover, as a latching means, as shown, for example in FIG. 9, the example of the latching structure in the case of arrange | positioning the connection structure 1 on an inclined ground is shown.
In this case, the bar member 10 such as a pile is fixed to the inclined installation surface.
The bar member 10 is arranged so as to be aligned with at least one of the protrusions 3 of the connection structure 1.
As a result, the bar member 10 fixed to the installation surface is fitted into the hollow of the protrusion 3 and the connection structure 1 is locked, so that the connection structure 1 is held at a predetermined position even on an inclined surface. can do.
[0014]
Further, since the protrusion 3 is hollow, gravel or concrete can be filled in the hollow and solidified to be used as a solid column, thereby increasing the supporting force.
Alternatively, the connecting structure may be floated on the water surface by closing only the opening of the protrusion 3 or filling the hollow with a synthetic resin foam.
Further, a hole 3c may be provided on the top surface of the protrusion 3 so that air below the back surface of the substrate 2 can be discharged to the upper part (outside) through the protrusion hollow (see FIG. 4).
[0015]
Moreover, the connection structure 1 formed in this way can also be connected up and down by the vertical connection means.
Thereby, the channel by which the upper stage and lower stage of a connection structure were independent can be formed.
Here, the vertical connection means may be formed integrally with the connection structure, or may be a structure provided separately and connecting both vertically.
In the case of the example shown in FIG. 10, the connecting structure 1 is composed of an upper and lower connecting tool 8, and the protrusions (referred to as 3 and 3 ′) that are vertically stacked can be locked. It is like that.
[0016]
The upper / lower connector 6 is composed of frusto-conical locking cylinders 8a and 8b that project symmetrically from the center in the vertical direction, and have openings in the upper and lower sides.
And the outer periphery of this latching cylinder 8a, 8b can be fitted in the hollow side inside the protrusion 3 inside.
Further, the recessed portions of the locking cylinders 8a and 8b can be fitted on the upper side of the protrusion 3.
[0017]
Accordingly, the protrusions 3 of the connection structure 1 arranged above and below are aligned, and the upper locking cylinder 8a is inserted into the interior hollow of the protrusion 3 of the upper connection structure 1 by the vertical connection tool 8. The lower end of the lower locking cylinder body 8b is externally fitted to the protrusion 3 of the lower connecting structure 1 so that they can be locked up and down.
In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes a cover plate arranged at the uppermost stage of the connection structure, and is used to form a flow path whose upper part is blocked by the uppermost connection structure.
The cover plate 20 may be provided with holes in the form of dots to form ventilation holes.
[0018]
In this way, the connection structure 1 can be connected in the vertical or horizontal direction and the vertical direction to form a series of flow paths L.
And the connecting structure connected vertically or horizontally is buried at the bottom of the landfill of waste, and it is structured to treat drainage such as rainwater, or it is used as an underground water storage part, and it is stacked up and down to form a ventilation part. It can be used in various ways.
[0019]
Moreover, in the said Example, although the case where the protrusion was made into the cylinder was illustrated, a solid pillar may be sufficient. Moreover, the shape can also be suitably set, such as a cross-sectional square, a cross-sectional polygon, and a cross-sectional ellipse.
Further, the connection structure of the connection structure is not limited to the embodiment, but it is preferable that one is a peripheral wall so as to form a flow path and the other is open.
In the present embodiment, the side orthogonal to the first connecting component is completely open along the edge, but it may be a part, and when this is connected, it is continuously connected by a large number of connecting structures. I just need it.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, the present invention is simple to construct and can connect a plurality of connecting structures having protrusions having strength, and can plant a plant between adjacent first connecting components, If laid on the rooftop, a rooftop garden can be easily formed.
