Description

  The present invention relates to a greening device for a building, and more particularly to a technique suitable for greening a wall surface of a building.

Recently, the heat island phenomenon has become a problem. As is well known, the heat island phenomenon refers to a situation in which the temperature in an urban area shows an abnormally high temperature compared to the surrounding area. There are various causes of the heat island phenomenon, but one reason is the decrease in plants.

  In order to suppress such a heat island phenomenon, a technique for greening the wall surface of a building has been proposed. This is because the wall surface has a larger area than the rooftop, and the greening effect is increased by greening the wall surface.

  Conventionally, as a technique for greening the wall surface of a building, a vine plant is entangled with a wire provided on the wall surface, a vine plant is dropped along the wall surface from the roof, or a vine plant planted on the ground is climbed along the wall surface. A technique or a technique for fixing a pot in which a plant is planted to a wall surface is known. Further, as a technique for greening the rooftop, a technique is known in which plants and soil are put into a container or the like to be unitized (greening unit) and a plurality of greening units are laid on the rooftop.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a building greening apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiment is an example, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.

  FIG. 1 shows a building greening apparatus 1 according to the present invention. The greening device 1 is continuously installed on a plurality of greening units 12 that hold soil 35 and plants 36 (see FIGS. 8 and 9), a wall surface 51 and a rooftop 52 of a building 50, and the greening unit 12 is movable. The guide rail 11 is a guide means for supporting the roof, and the roof 52 of the building 50 or the ground 56 around the building 50, in this embodiment, the roof 52, and the greening unit 12 is moved along the guide rail 11. And a winch 13 as moving means.

  Next, each of the above components will be described. Here, for example, a case where a three-story school building is greened will be described. The rooftop 52 has a number of flat portions although there are some irregularities. A plurality of windows 55 are provided on the wall surface 51 of each floor. The guide rail 11 is provided continuously over substantially the entire width L except for the entire height H of the wall surface 51 and the portion where the winch 13 of the rooftop 52 is installed. Further, a fence 57 having an opening for allowing the guide rail 11 and the greening unit 12 to pass through is provided at the end of the roof 52 on the side of the wall surface 51 to be greened.

  The guide rails 11 are provided in a plurality of rows at predetermined intervals, and in this embodiment, four rows are provided. The guide rail 11 is made of stainless steel (for example, SUS304) or the like because of the requirement for rust prevention because it is an outdoor specification. Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, for example, an H-section steel (200 × 200 × 8 × 12) having flanges 21 and 21 that are parallel to each other and a web 22 that connects the center portions of the flanges 21 and 21. Is used.

  In order to move the greening unit 12 without rubbing against the roof 52 or the wall surface 51, the guide rail 11 is separated from the roof 52 or the wall surface 51 by an appropriate distance, and is attached to the roof 52 or the wall surface 51 by a gantry 42 (see FIG. 6) or the like. is set up.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the greening unit 12 is arranged across a plurality of rows between the guide rails 11, 11, and in this embodiment, three rows. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, both sides of the greening unit 12 are detachably attached to the chain 23 by a chain attachment mechanism 40 provided in the greening unit 12. Thereby, the greening unit 12 itself can be easily replaced. As shown in FIG. 4, the chain attachment mechanism 40 can be configured by, for example, surrounding a chain attachment bearing 43 attached to the rotary shaft 27 with a master ring 44. The end of the chain 23 is attached to the master ring 44.

  The chain 23 is movably disposed in a space extending through the greening unit 12 and the guide rail 11. The chain 23 is made of a high-strength metal material such as a special alloy. As shown in FIG. 5, in the vicinity of the corner 52 a of the roof 52, the guide rail 11 is formed in an arc shape in order to prevent the chain 23 from being damaged at the corner 52 a, and a large number of guide rails 11 are formed along the guide rail 11. A guide roller 41 is provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the greening unit 12 includes a plantan-like container 25. The container 25 is filled with soil 35, and a plant 36 is planted in the soil 35. In the present embodiment, the container 25 has a rhombus cross section, and is formed with a length L = 850 mm, a width B = 360 mm, and a height Y = 180 mm. The reason why the cross-sectional shape of the container 25 is a rhombus is that the volume of the soil 35 can be reduced compared to the case where the cross-sectional shape is a square, and the weight can be reduced. Because it can.

  The container 25 is made of, for example, stainless steel (SUS304 or the like), and the surface thereof is subjected to a blurring finish to prevent reflection of sunlight. Further, by processing the outer peripheral surface of the container 25 into a punching metal shape, it is possible to improve the appearance design and reduce the intimidating feeling, and at the same time to reduce the weight. Moreover, when the outer peripheral surface of the container 25 is formed in a punching metal shape, the nonwoven fabric 37 is stuck on the inner surface, thereby preventing the soil 35 from flowing out and preventing the water in the soil 35 from leaking excessively. .

    As shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the container 25 is suspended from the rotating shaft 27 via the holding member 26. The holding member 26 extends upward from the container 25, and the holding member 26 and the rotating shaft 27 are rotatable by inserting a container holding bearing 45 provided at an end of the holding member 26 through the rotating shaft 27. It is connected. The rotary shaft 27 is detachably attached to the chain 23 by a chain attachment mechanism 40 (see FIG. 4). As the chain 23 moves along the guide rail 11, the greening unit 12 also moves.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a wheel 28 such as a tire is rotatably provided on the rotating shaft 27. The wheel 28 has substantially the same diameter as the gap between the flanges 21 and 21 in the guide rail 11. Thereby, when the greening unit 12 moves along the guide rail 11, it can suppress that the wheel 28, ie, the greening unit 12, rattles. When a traction force acts on the greening unit 12, the wheel 28 rotates on the flange 21 in the guide rail 11. Thereby, the greening unit 12 moves smoothly on the guide rail 11.

  Moreover, the container 25 is formed so that the part below the rotating shaft 27 is heavier than the upper part when the soil 35 and the plant 36 are put therein. As described above, since the container 25 is rotatable relative to the rotation shaft 27, when the greening unit 12 is disposed on the wall surface 51 or the rooftop 52, the container 25 is always lighter, that is, the opening 25a and the plant 36. Becomes upward. Thereby, it can prevent that the soil 35 in the container 25, the plant 36, and the water | moisture content inside fall from the container 25. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the soil 35 to be filled in the container 25 is made to be a soil having a low specific gravity and a weight of about 0.6 and less scattering. Such soil can be constituted, for example, by mixing 30% of organic compost, which is a slow-acting fertilizer, into 70% of the recycle artificial soil, Bostfarm (registered trademark).

  The plant 36 can be planted throughout the four seasons by constructing an ornamental plant such as Hedera, which is an evergreen vine, but in actual operation, it has the maximum function to replant the plant 36 in the container 25 flexibly. It is possible to select plants that respond to seasons and events.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the winch 13 is installed, for example, at an end 53 on the opposite side of the wall surface 51 to be greened on the roof 52 of the building 50. The winch 13 pulls the greening unit 12 line by line. In the present embodiment, since three greening units 12 are provided, three winches 13 are also provided. Examples of the winch 13 include a take-up drum type low-speed wire winch. The winch 13 has drums 13a and 13b divided into two at the center. A single wire 30, 30 is wound around these drums 13a, 13b in the same direction.

  These two wires 30 and 30 are attached to one of the two chains 23 attached to both sides of the greening unit 12, respectively. That is, the winch 13 pulls the chains 23 provided on both sides of the greening unit 12 by the two wires 30 and 30, thereby moving the connected greening units 12 simultaneously.

  The winch 13 is controlled by automatic control means. The automatic control means automatically controls the electromagnetic brake in cooperation with, for example, a limit switch so as to pull or stop the wire 30 with a predetermined length. Furthermore, in order to stop the wire 30 at the limit position of the winding range of the wire layer in the drums 13a and 13b when an automatic control abnormality occurs, the control device has a stroke control with built-in upper limit stop means and lower limit stop means. An apparatus is preferably provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the winch 13 and the automatic control means are covered with a cover 39 made of, for example, stainless steel (for example, SUS304).

  According to this greening device 1, the greening unit 12 can be arranged at a position where the wall 55 of the wall 51 is shielded when the outside air temperature is high, such as during the daytime in summer. As a result, the greening unit 12 can be used in place of a curtain or Yoshizu and the temperature rise in the room can be suppressed, so that the cooling temperature can be set higher. It is also conceivable that not only the building 50 but also the surrounding ground or the like is greened, so that the cooling facility in the building 50 is unnecessary. As such an example, a building without a cooling facility such as a school can be exemplified.

In addition, for example, at night, the greening unit 12 is moved to the rooftop 52 using nighttime power, so that the irrigation of the greening unit 12 and the management of the replacement of the plant 36 can be easily performed on the rooftop 52. In winter, the daylight can be taken into the room by opening the window 55 by arranging the greening unit 12 on the rooftop 52 even during the daytime. Moreover, when the rooftop 52 has a greening zone, it is preferable that the greening unit 12 can be integrated with the greening zone of the rooftop 52.

  As described above, wall greening and rooftop greening can be realized selectively or both at the same time, and by moving the greening unit 12 in response to changes in weather and seasonal conditions, greening corresponding to all conditions can be achieved. It becomes possible. Further, by arranging the greening unit 12 on the wall surface 51, the plant 36 can be appreciated from the ground.

  Moreover, since the load concerning the container 25 and the wheel 28 can be reduced by using the lightweight soil 35, it can suppress that the container 25 or the wheel 28 is damaged. Furthermore, since the weight of the greening unit 12 is shared by the two wheels 28, damage to the wheels 28 can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the greening unit 12 is held by the two chains 23, 23, the greening unit 12 can be held more reliably.

  Moreover, since the operation | work which attaches the greening unit 12 to the guide rail 11, the maintenance work of irrigating or pruning the plant 36 in the greening unit 12, etc. can be performed on the roof 52, these work becomes easy. Thereby, a general person can easily perform these operations without depending on a specialist. Further, it is possible to green the window 55 which has been difficult in the past, and the window 55 can be easily opened by moving the greening unit 12.

  As described above, since the general person can easily perform operations such as irrigation and pruning of the plant 36 in the greening unit 12 without depending on a specialist, the greening unit 12 can be used in schools, hospitals, general buildings, etc. And open to the students, patients, staff, and the general public so that they can grow plants 36 on their own. For example, when a school student grows the plant 36 of the greening unit 12, an educational effect such as a sense of accomplishment of growing the plant 36 can be expected, and a sense of comfort, relaxation, and healing can be provided. It has the same effect on patients, staff and the general public.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the guide rail 11, the chain 23, the container 25 and the like are formed of stainless steel has been described. However, the material of each part can be freely selected. Moreover, the component of the soil 35 can also be selected freely.

  Further, the spacing between the greening units 12 can be arbitrarily adjusted by changing the position where the chain attachment mechanism 40 is provided with respect to the chain 23. Further, in the above embodiment, when the greening unit 12 is moved from the wall surface 51 to the rooftop 52, the spacing between the greening units 12 does not change, but when the greening unit 12 is moved from the wall surface 51 to the rooftop 52, for example, a ski resort Like the gondola, the interval between the greening units 12 can be automatically reduced.

  This is because the height H of the wall surface 51 is generally larger than the width L of the rooftop 52, so when the greening unit 12 is arranged on the wall surface 51, the space between the greening units 12 is widened to widen the range of greening. When the greening units 12 are arranged on the rooftop 52, the interval between the greening units 12 is narrowed so that all the greening units 12 can be raised to the rooftop 52.

  Moreover, a wire can be provided along the guide rail 11, and a vine can be entangled in this wire. In this case, a wider range of greening is possible, and the number of plant types increases, so the effect of greening is enhanced.

  Moreover, it can comprise so that each greening unit 12 can be automatically watered by providing water supply equipment, such as piping, in the guide rail 11, and providing a water supply nozzle etc. in this water supply equipment. Irrigation water can be reused by circulating rainwater. In this case, the rainwater tank can be installed on the roof 52 or on the ground around the building. When the rainwater tank is installed on the ground, the rainwater in the rainwater tank is pumped up and temporarily stored in the tank installed on the roof 52, and the rainwater is supplied to the water introduction facility with a timer, and the greening unit 12 is irrigated from the water introduction facility. be able to.

  Further, the guide rail 11 can be extended on the ground 56 (see FIG. 1) around the building 50, and the winch 13 can be installed on the ground 56. Thereby, even when the roof 52 is narrow, the roof 52 can be effectively greened. In this case, the greening unit 12 can be disposed on the ground 56. Thereby, since the maintenance of the greening unit 12 becomes possible on the ground 56, work becomes easy.

  Moreover, although the case where the guide rail 11 was installed in both the wall surface 51 and the rooftop 52 was demonstrated in the said embodiment, the guide rail 11 is installed only in one of the wall surface 51 or the rooftop 52, and one of the wall surface 51 or the rooftop 52 is installed. Only can be greened.
