Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a container for greening such as a sound insulation wall or retaining wall of a highway, a side wall of a dam, a bridge, a building, or the like, or a wall surface that greens a wall surface using plants.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, “tsuta” is often used for the greening of the current wall surface, etc., but vegetation soil is necessary at the bottom or top of the wall, and until “tsuta” grows to green the long wall take time.
[0003]
Therefore, there is a method in which a pot like a flower pot is formed on the retaining wall or the like, or a pot or container is attached to a wall surface and vegetated in this pot or container.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, those that use conventional pots or containers for greening are vulnerable to drying and generally require maintenance such as irrigation and fertilization. In addition, there are soil bags using nonwoven fabrics, soil moisture sensors and liquid fertilizer mixers, irrigation pipes, automatic irrigation systems using drainage pipes, construction methods called `` vertical forests '' using planted trees, etc. This is a unitized vegetation soil, plant and irrigation device, which is large and too expensive.
[0005]
The object of the present invention is to eliminate the inconvenience of the conventional example, there is no need for soil on the upper and lower walls, etc., and the entire wall can be greened quickly and easily, and the container itself is easy to install. Another object of the present invention is to provide a container for greening such as a wall surface that can effectively use rainwater and suppress the evaporation amount, so that maintenance work is almost unnecessary and hassle-free.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is, firstly, a flattened vertical container with an open front, in which cells are formed in multiple layers with partition plates that are installed obliquely at intervals in the container. Filling the back of the formed drainage hole with lightweight material with good water permeability to fill the cell with artificial soil including artificial lightweight soil in the cell as the water storage part, and secondly, the side of the container The face plate is provided with a water drain hole at a position higher than the water drain hole provided in the partition plate . Third, the partition plate has a lower end of the partition plate protruding from the front end of the upper partition plate, and a cell opening. the surface is arranged in stepped, fourth, the upper surface is also an open surface to form a vegetation foundation filled with artificial soil on a triangular cross section of the space formed by the rear plate and both side plates and the uppermost partition plate This is the gist.
[0007]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the entire front surface of the container is greened simultaneously by planting the cell in the cell, the wall surface and the like of the container mounting portion can be fully greened quickly. In addition, by dividing the inside of the container into thin-layer cells with a partition plate, evaporation can be prevented, and since natural evaporation is small and moisture utilization efficiency is very high, almost no artificial irrigation work is required. Furthermore, the adoption of artificial lightweight soil makes it possible to reduce the weight of the container, improve the growth environment of the plant, and make it maintenance-free.
[0008]
The types of plants planted in the cell are widely available, and you can enjoy various plants. You can also select the type that suits the land and climate.
[0009]
Since the container itself has a small protrusion from the wall surface to which it is attached, it can be used in places where the installation location is limited, such as the side of a viaduct.
[0010]
Also, the movement of the water in that each partition plates to form a drain hole is only gravity flow through the drain hole, so have used special equipment, there is no fear of failure, during extreme dry Even when irrigation is necessary, if the water is sufficiently supplied to the uppermost stage of the container, the required amount of water is distributed to each container, so the amount of work can be reduced.
[0011]
Furthermore, the water supplied to the upper part of the container by rainwater or the like forms a reservoir in the reservoir in the container, and excess water is received by the lower cell and the lower container, so that the rainwater can be effectively used.
[0012]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above-described function, the drain hole provided in the side plate of the container does not normally function as a drain and contributes to the air supply in the cell. When it is not enough to treat the partition plate with only the drain hole due to heavy rain, the drain hole provided in the side plate works to prevent the water head from rising too much into the soil and reaching the open front of the cell.
[0013]
According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the cell opening surfaces are arranged in a step shape, water can be directly supplied to each cell by rainfall.
[0014]
According to this invention of Claim 4, it becomes possible to plant a plant also to the upper part of a container.
[0015]
