Description

The present invention relates to a device for easily planting plants, flowers and other plants , and more particularly to a locking means in a planting device provided for cultivating plants on the rooftop or roof of a building. The present invention relates to a locking means that serves as a height reference when the soil layer is incorporated and that can lock the windproof net and can change the height in accordance with the thickness of the customer soil layer to be constructed.

In recent years, attempts have been actively made to plant plants on a large scale on the rooftops of buildings and other spaces, and to plant green spaces in urban areas.
In such a case, in many cases, a concrete layer of a presser foot is formed on a waterproof layer of a slab surface of a building or the like, and a gravel layer made of sand, gravel, etc. is used as a planting layer, Plants are planted by laminating layers one after another.

However, in order to obtain sufficient water retention and drainage for plants, it is necessary to introduce a considerable amount of earth and sand into the waterproof layer, and the concrete layer has a considerable weight, so these weights have an adverse effect on the building. There is a problem of affecting.
Therefore, the present applicant has previously disclosed a lightweight planting device excellent in water retention and drainage (see, for example, Japanese Patent No. 2531542).

In this planting device, a waterproof layer is fixed to a slab surface formed on the rooftop of a building, and a drain plate having a water retaining material having a nonwoven fabric and the like, and a concave portion and a convex portion 2 on the upper surface of the waterproof layer. Water retention / drainage means composed of, etc., and further, a planting layer composed of a gravel layer and a guest soil layer is laminated above the water retention / drainage means, and appropriate water retention and drainage by the water retention / drainage means etc. It has become something that can be obtained.
For this reason, the concrete layer provided in consideration of drainage becomes unnecessary, and the planting layer is set to a minimum necessary thickness considering the length of roots of plants and the like, for example, about 50 mm by improving water retention. It is possible.
The following documents are related to the present invention.
Japanese Patent No. 2531542 Japanese Patent No. 2717632

Therefore, in the conventional planting apparatus, the entire apparatus is reduced in weight and has an excellent function of avoiding adverse effects on buildings, but still includes some problems to be improved. .
That is, first, no countermeasure is taken against wind. This type of equipment is often installed in high places such as the rooftops of buildings, but in such high places there are always winds that are irregular in direction, so the soil of the guest soil layer is scattered. Cheap.
In addition, it is desirable to construct the soil layer as thin as possible from the viewpoint of the load on the building or the like, but if this is made too thin, the roots of the planted plant will not be stretched and will collapse even in a slight wind. This is particularly noticeable when planting a plant, and it is difficult to erect even when there is no wind in the case of a plant growing to a certain height.

In addition, in this type of equipment, once the soil layer is constructed, it is difficult to cultivate the soil in the soil layer, resulting in poor airflow below the soil layer, which has a significant impact on plant growth. It will be.
Furthermore, at present, there is a request from a user who wants to plant not only a horizontal surface such as a rooftop but also an inclined surface such as a sloped roof. When applied, the installation state becomes unstable, and it becomes particularly difficult to maintain the soil of the guest soil layer.
A technology for solving such a problem is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2717632. However, in this technique, there is a problem that the fixing of the apparatus is complicated, the construction cost increases, and the construction takes time.
The inventors of the present application have further worked on research and development of a new planting device, and the planting device is registered as Japanese Patent No. 3280912, Japanese Patent No. 3328653, and Japanese Patent No. 3385883. However, in these planting devices, the drain plate (water retention / drainage means) and the frustoconical hollow body as the fixing means are integrally formed, and the shape is complicated and enlarged as a whole. Therefore, when the drain plate is formed of a resin material, the mold is not easily manufactured and the cost is increased. Furthermore, it takes time to store and transport products.
For this reason, the drain plate and the hollow body are configured as separate members. First, the hollow body is installed and fixed, and then an attempt is made to install the drain plate through the hollow body at the opening of the drain plate. However, there is a disadvantage that the work efficiency is not improved.
Furthermore, since the conventional hollow body has a constant height, it has a problem that it cannot cope with the necessity of changing the earth floor thickness according to the installation state of the planting device.

The present invention includes a waterproof layer provided on a roof of a building, a roof, a root guard fixedly stretched on the waterproof layer in order to prevent extruding of a plant hair root and the like to the outside of the device, and a root guard. A water supply / drainage base for holding rainwater permeated from above or irrigation by other means, supplying the retained moisture to the root of the plant and grasping the laminated soil; -A soil layer that is installed on the drainage base and has a windproof net on the surface. The locking means can change the height in accordance with the thickness of the wall, and the locking means comprises a hollow body having a bracket portion that fits into an opening formed in the water supply / drainage base. Body
The outer shell is composed of a base that is a truncated cone-shaped hollow body and a top that is the outer shell-conical-shaped hollow body, and the conicity of the top is set to be steeper than the base and is tightly fitted to the base In addition, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems by providing a locking means configured so as not to be easily detached but detachable from the base.

The locking means described in paragraph 0007 may be configured to be locked with a windproof net by screwing.

Further, in the locking means described in paragraph 0007 or 0008, the top portions are sequentially overlapped and fitted to the base portion and have different heights, and the thickness of the soil layer is adjusted by adjusting the number of top portions at the construction site. In some cases, it is possible to easily install the locking means corresponding to the above.

The invention of the present application is provided with the above-mentioned locking means, and when building a planting device, the soil is included based on the height of the locking means when forming the soil layer of a predetermined thickness when constructing a planting device. Therefore, the construction work becomes easy and the efficiency is improved, and the effects such as the reduction of the overall manufacturing cost can be obtained, which greatly contributes to the greening of the urban space.
