Description

  The present invention mainly relates to a greening panel for performing construction such as rooftop greening.

  In recent years, the demand for urban greening has increased, and in response to this, technology for greening by installing vegetation panels on the roof of buildings has been developed and is becoming popular. This kind of rooftop greening is to cultivate plants on the rooftop of the building and to reduce the absorption and release of heat from the rooftop surface, thereby suppressing the so-called heat island phenomenon. It is also intended to improve the environment against air pollution and the like through cultivation. As such a rooftop greening technique, patent applications such as Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 below have been filed.

  Such rooftop greening techniques are generally divided into centralized management type greening and rough release type greening. In centralized management type greening, not only from a technical point of view, such as suppression of the heat island phenomenon, it is also important to maintain an aesthetic appearance by constructing an artificial garden etc., so careful maintenance is performed at regular intervals, etc. As the name suggests, intensive management is required.

  On the other hand, the rough greening does not require aesthetics like the centralized greening, it is considered that it is sufficient to consider only the technical viewpoint, and it is desired to save labor as much as possible. Yes. From the viewpoint of such maintenance labor saving, sedums that do not require much irrigation are used as the main plant species in rough release greening.

  In addition, the soil is the basis for planting, and the thickness of the layered soil is required to be more than a certain level for the plant to grow properly. One of the reasons why sedum plants are mainly used for rough-release greening because they grow even when they are thin, so that they do not apply a large load on the roof, and are the most suitable plant species for so-called thin-layer greening. There is also one.

  As a technique related to thin-layer greening, for example, an application such as Patent Document 3 below has been filed. As described in the claims of the utility model registration of Patent Document 3, this Patent Document 3 describes “a large number of thin trays having a box shape with an open top and planted in advance in the thin trays”. And a thin-layer greening structure comprising a greening plant containing an evergreen giraffe. "

  However, since the thin tray described in the above cited reference 3 is used by laying a large number of vertical and horizontal installation surfaces such as a rooftop, it should be considered to have a structure that can be stacked up and down. Not in. Therefore, for example, when the planting base material is previously stored in a thin tray and is to be transported to the rooftop, a plurality of thin trays cannot be stacked and transported, resulting in a decrease in transport efficiency. For this reason, in order to stack and transport a plurality of thin trays, it is necessary to separately prepare a dedicated shelf or the like for stacking the plurality of thin trays and stack them in a plurality of stages using such a dedicated shelf or the like. .

JP 2003-143940 A JP 2004-89005 A Utility Model Registration No. 3151183

  The present invention was made in order to solve such problems. Even if the planting base material is stored and the plant is planted, the planting base material on the lower stage side, Plants are not crushed by the greening panel on the upper stage side, so plants can be planted and transported in multiple stages and transported to installation locations such as rooftops efficiently It is an object of the present invention to provide a greening panel that can be performed in a simple manner.

In order to solve such problems, the present invention provides a planting base material having a planting base material storage unit for storing a planting base material such as soil in the panel body. The panel main body can be stacked in a plurality of upper and lower stages with the storage space for the planting base material in the storage section secured, and the panel bodies adjacent in the vertical direction can be engaged with each other in a stacked state in a plurality of stages. When it is not in use, it can be stacked in multiple upper and lower stages without securing the storage space for the planting base material in the planting base material storage part, and the panel bodies adjacent to each other can be fitted together An engagement / fitting function combined projection that can be made is provided on the panel body, and the engagement / fitting function combined protrusion is engaged with the panel bodies adjacent to each other vertically. Make An engaging protrusion having a fitting space on the back side is provided, and the engaging protrusion having a fitting space on the back side for fitting the panel bodies adjacent to each other vertically is provided on the back side. A greening panel is provided, which is provided at an upper portion of the section .

  In such a configuration, the fitting space portion and the engaging space portion are formed in a shape having a long portion and a short portion in a bottom view, and are formed to be similar to each other, and further to each other It is possible to form the cross so as to form a substantially cross shape at right angles. Here, the “shape having a long portion and a short portion” is a shape in which the dimension in the longitudinal direction is longer than the dimension in the short direction, such as a rectangle or an ellipse. Therefore, for example, squares and circles are excluded.

  The panel body can be formed, for example, in a shallow box-shaped tray comprising a bottom surface and a side surface rising from the bottom surface. In that case, the height of the fitting protrusion is preferably higher than the height of the side surface of the panel body.

  As described above, the greening panel of the present invention can be stacked in a plurality of upper and lower stages in a state where the storage space for the planting base material in the planting base material storage part is secured during use. Since the panel body is provided with an engagement / fitting function combined protrusion that allows the panel bodies adjacent to each other in the stacked state to be mutually engaged, the planting base material The planting base material is stored in the storage section, and a plant is planted, and the planting base material is stored and the planting plant is planted. It can be stacked in multiple stages so that the protrusions engage each other.

  In such a state where the panels for greening are stacked in multiple stages, storage space for the planting base material in the planting base material storage unit is secured, so the planting base material is stored in the planting base material storage unit in advance. However, even if the greening panels are stacked in multiple stages with plants planted on the planting base material, the planting base material stored in the planting base material storage part of the lower greening panel and its planting Plants planted on the planting base material are not crushed by the upper greening panels.

  Therefore, for example, sedum plants and other plants for thin greening with a low height can be planted and transported on the planting base material in the planting base material storage part of the greening panels stacked in multiple stages, There is an effect that it is possible to efficiently carry to the installation location such as the rooftop. In addition, even when transporting in such a state that the greening panels are stacked in a plurality of stages, the planting base material and plants of the lower greening panel are crushed by the upper greening panel as described above. Since there is nothing, there is no adverse effect on the plant to be planted.

  In addition, the above-mentioned engagement / fitting function combined protrusion, when not in use, can be stacked in a plurality of upper and lower stages without securing the storage space for the planting base material in the planting base material storage part, Since the panel bodies adjacent to each other in the vertical direction can be fitted to each other, when the greening panel of the present invention is not used for greening such as a rooftop, it is planted in the planting base material storage section. Empty greening panels that do not contain the planting base material can be stacked so as not to be bulky, and when the greening panel is not used, storage space is not excessively taken.

  Further, the fitting space portion and the engaging space portion are formed in a shape having a long portion and a short portion in a bottom view, are formed so as to be similar to each other, and are substantially orthogonal to each other. When formed in a cross shape, the upper and lower greening panels are overlapped so that the upper and lower greening panels are fitted in the same space with the long and short sides facing each other. Thus, the upper and lower greening panels are fitted to each other, and the upper and lower greening panels are fitted in the fitting space so that the longitudinal and short sides intersect each other. When the lower greening panels are overlapped, the upper and lower greening panels are not fitted to each other, and the lower greening panel fitting protrusions are within the engagement space of the upper greening panel. Will be engaged.

  In this case, since the fitting space portion and the engaging space portion are formed so as to be similar to each other, as described above, the fitting protrusion portion of the lower greening panel is the upper greening portion. In the state of being engaged in the engagement space portion of the panel for use, there is no backlash between the upper and lower greening panels.

Further, the panel body is formed in a shallow box-shaped tray formed of, for example, a bottom surface portion and a side surface portion formed upright from the bottom surface portion, and the height of the fitting protrusion is set to the height of the side surface portion of the panel body. If it is formed higher than the height, the planting base material in the planting base material storage part in a state where the protrusion for fitting of the lower greening panel is engaged in the engaging space of the upper greening panel There is an effect that the storage space can be secured more reliably.
Further, when the height of the protrusion for fitting is formed higher than the height of the side surface of the panel body in this way, the top of the protrusion for fitting formed higher than the height of the side surface, for example, Etc., and even if a net or the like is hooked on the top of such a protrusion for fitting, there is no fear that the net or the like may be caught accidentally on a plant for thin-layer greening that has been planted. There is an advantage.

  The greening panel of the present embodiment is used for rooftop greening, and the panel body 1 of the greening panel is formed in a planar square shape as shown in FIG. 1, and the whole is a general purpose such as polyethylene and polypropylene. Made of synthetic resin. Further, the panel body 1 is formed in a shallow box-like tray shape including a planar square bottom surface portion 2 and a side surface portion 3 rising from four sides of the bottom surface portion 2.

  And the space part enclosed by the said side part 3 is formed as the planting base material storage part 4 which stores planting base materials, such as soil. In addition to natural soil, lightweight artificial soil can be used as this soil. Moreover, the thing which foamed clay minerals, such as a granular pearlite, can also be used as a planting base material.

  In the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the bottom surface portion 2 of the panel body 1, two flat ribs 5 that slightly protrude from the bottom surface portion 2 are formed, for a total of four. And in the part which the flat rib 5 formed in this length and width 2 cross | intersects, the engagement / fitting function combined protrusion 6 is erected. Since the flat ribs 5 are erected at the intersecting portions, a total of four engaging / fitting function combined protrusions 6 are provided.

  This combined engagement / fitting function protrusion 6 allows the panel main body 1 to be moved up and down in a plurality of stages while maintaining the storage space for the planting base material in the planting base material storage part 4 when the greening panel is used. The panel main bodies 1 adjacent to each other in the state of being stacked in a plurality of stages can be mutually engaged, and when not in use, the planting base material in the planting base material storage part 4 Without being able to maintain the storage space, it is possible to superimpose a plurality of upper and lower stages, and the panel bodies 1 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction can be fitted to each other.

  The engaging / fitting function combined protrusion 6 includes an engaging protrusion 7 that engages the panel main bodies 1 that are vertically adjacent to each other in a stacked state when the greening panel is used, When the greening panel is not used, it includes a fitting protrusion 8 for fitting together the panel main bodies 1 stacked in a plurality of stages. As shown in FIG. 1, the engaging protrusion 7 and the fitting protrusion 8 are each formed in a substantially rectangular plane, and the engaging protrusion 7 is formed to protrude from the upper part of the flat rib 5. The joint protrusion 8 is formed so as to protrude above the engagement protrusion 7 so as to straddle the engagement protrusion 7 in a direction orthogonal to the engagement protrusion 7 so as to form a substantially cross shape. . As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the top portion 8 a of the fitting protrusion 8 is formed to be higher than the top portion 3 a of the side surface portion 3.

And the back side of the said protrusion part 7 for engagement and the protrusion part 8 for fitting is formed as the space part 10 for engagement and the space part 10 for fitting, as shown in FIG. Engagement when the greening panel is used and fitting when the greening panel is not used are performed using the engaging space 9 and the fitting space 10. As described above, the engaging protrusion 7 and the fitting protrusion 8 are each formed in a substantially rectangular shape on the plane, and therefore the engaging space portion 9 and the engaging space portion 10 are formed in a substantially rectangular shape on the bottom surface. However, the engaging space portion 9 and the fitting space portion 10 are formed in a substantially rectangular shape that is similar to each other. This point will be described in more detail. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the fitting protrusion 8 is formed so as to be gradually narrowed from the lower portion toward the upper portion, and the cross-sectional shapes thereof are all similar. It is formed to be a rectangular shape. Then, the top 8a of the fitting protrusion 8 is engaged with the engagement space 9 of the upper greening panel, and in this engaged state, the top 8a of the fitting protrusion 8 is greened on the upper side. As a result, the projection 8 for engagement and the projection 7 for engagement are similar to each other in a substantially rectangular plane. Accordingly, the engaging space 9 and the fitting space 10 are formed in a substantially rectangular shape that is similar to each other.
Here, the engaging space portion 9 needs to have a larger diameter than the portion in the vicinity of the top portion 8a of the fitting protrusion 8 that is inserted into the engaging space portion 9. In this case, it is desirable that the engagement space portion 9 is engaged with no looseness. Therefore, it is inconvenient if the diameter of the engagement space portion 9 is larger than the diameter in the vicinity of the top portion 8a of the fitting projection portion 8, and the size is slightly larger. Is desirable. In this sense, it is desirable that the diameter of the engagement space 9 is smaller than the diameter of the lower portion of the fitting protrusion 8.

  Furthermore, in the center of the bottom surface portion 2, as shown in FIG. 1, a flat plate-shaped tread portion 11 is formed so as to protrude from the bottom surface portion 2. The tread board 11 serves as a foot platform for the operator when storing the planting base material in the planting base material storage unit 4 or planting the plant on the planting base material, for example, for maintenance. Is. Elongated reinforcing ribs 12 are formed from the tread plate portion 11 toward the four engaging / fitting function combined protrusions 6. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, reinforcing ribs 13 having a substantially cross shape in a bottom view are formed on the back surface side of the tread plate portion 11. As shown in FIG. 5, the rib 13 on the back surface side of the tread portion 11 is formed so that the skirt portion 13 a approaches the bottom surface portion 2. Further, a reinforcing rib 18 similar to the reinforcing ribs 12 and 13 is also formed on the back side of the fitting protrusion 8 as shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, two cutouts 14 for inserting the irrigation pipe are formed in each of the four side surfaces 3 at two locations. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the notch 14 is formed by being cut out in a square shape from the top 3 a of the side face 3. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a pin insertion hole 15 for inserting a fixing pin or the like for fixing the irrigation pipe inserted through the notch 14 is formed in the bottom surface 14 a of the notch 14. ing.

  A long hole 16 is formed in the apex 3a of the side surface 3 on both sides of the notch 14. This long hole 16 is used arbitrarily. For example, after storing the planting base material in the planting base material storage part 4, a fixing pin or the like for fixing the net covering the upper surface of the panel body 1 is inserted. Used for purposes such as Further, a short flange 17 projects outward from the top 3 a of the side surface 3. Further, a drain hole 18 is formed in the boundary portion between the bottom surface portion 2 and the side surface portion 3 of the panel body 1.

  And when using the panel 20 for greening which consists of such a structure, as shown in FIG. 8, while storing the planting base materials 21, such as soil, in the planting base storage part 4 of the panel main body 1. As shown in FIG. The plant 22 is planted on the planting base material 21, and the greening panels 20 and 20 are stacked up and down as shown in the figure.

  At that time, as shown in the figure, the lower stage of the fitting portion 8 of the lower greening panel 20 is engaged with the top part 8a of the lower greening panel 20 in the fitting space 10 of the upper greening panel 20. The upper greening panel 20 is stacked on top of the greening panel 20. In this case, since only the top 8a of the fitting protrusion 8 is engaged in the fitting space 10 of the upper greening panel 20, as shown in FIG. In the part 4, a storage space for storing the planting base material 21 and planting the plant 22 is secured.

  Thus, the lower greening panel 20 is accommodated in the fitting space 10 of the upper greening panel 20 so as to secure a storage space for storing the planting base material 21 and planting the plant 22. The upper greening panel 20 is stacked on the upper part of the lower greening panel 20 by engaging the top part 8a of the fitting space part 10, and as shown in FIG. And the greening panels 20 are also arranged on the left and right.

Thus, in the state which laminated | stacked the panel for greening in several steps, since the storage space of the planting base material in the planting base material storage part 4 is ensured as mentioned above, the planting base material 21 is planted beforehand. Even if the planting base material 21 is stored in the planting base material 21 and the planting base material 21 is planted, the planting base material storage unit of the lower planting panel 20 is stacked. The planting base material 21 housed in 4 and the plant 22 planted in the planting base material 21 are not crushed by the upper greening panel 20. Therefore, for example, sedum plants and other plants for thin greening with a low height can be planted and transported on the planting base material in the planting base material storage part of the greening panels stacked in multiple stages, There is an effect that it is possible to efficiently carry to the installation location such as the rooftop. In addition, even when transporting in such a state that the greening panels are stacked in a plurality of stages, the planting base material and plants of the lower greening panel are crushed by the upper greening panel as described above. Since there is nothing, there is no adverse effect on the plant to be planted.
In particular, since the top 8a of the protrusion 8 for fitting is formed at a position higher than the top 3a of the side surface 3, as described above, planting is performed in a state where the greening panels are stacked in a plurality of stages. The storage space for the planting base material in the base material storage part 4 is further ensured.

  In addition, in the state which accommodated the planting base material 21 in the planting base material storage part 4, as shown in FIG. 9, since the tread board part 11 has barely exposed from the surface of the planting base material 21, it is low in the number of steps. When the greening panels 20 are stacked, for example, when the planting base material is stored in the planting base material storage unit 4 or the plant is planted in the planting base material for maintenance or the like, the tread board unit 11 is used. Can be used as a footrest for workers.

On the other hand, when the greening panel 20 is not used for rooftop greening, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the lower greening panel 20 is placed in the fitting space 10 of the upper greening panel 20. The upper greening panel 20 is stacked on the upper part of the lower greening panel 20 so that the fitting protrusions 8 are fitted. In this case, as shown in the figure, without maintaining the storage space for the planting base material 21 in the planting base material storage part 4, it can be stacked in a plurality of upper and lower stages, and the greening adjacent to the upper and lower sides Panel 20
When the greening panel 20 is not used for greening the rooftop or the like, the planting base material storage unit 4 does not store the planting base material. The greening panels can be stacked so as not to be bulky, and when the greening panel is not used, there is no extreme storage space.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the fitting protrusion 8 provided with the fitting space 10 on the back side and the engaging protrusion 7 provided with the engaging space 9 on the back side are provided. Since the panel body 1 is provided with the engaging / fitting function combined protrusion 6, when the greening panel 20 is used, the greening panel 20 is provided in a plurality of stages while securing the storage space for the planting base material 21. When the greening panel 20 is not used, an empty greening panel that does not store the planting base material is stacked so as not to be bulky when the greening panel 20 is not used. In addition, it can be stored without taking up space.

  In the above embodiment, the panel body 1 is formed in a planar square shape. However, the shape of the panel body is not limited to the above embodiment, and the shape thereof is not limited. Moreover, in this embodiment, the panel main body 1 was comprised by general purpose synthetic resin, such as polyethylene and a polypropylene, However, The material of the panel main body 1 is not limited to this embodiment. For example, synthetic resins other than those described above can be used, and materials other than synthetic resins, for example, metals such as aluminum can be used.

  The kind of planting base material is not limited to natural soil or artificial soil, and clay minerals such as perlite can also be used.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the engaging protrusion 7 and the fitting protrusion 8 are each formed in a substantially rectangular shape on the plane, and accordingly, the engaging space portion 9 and the fitting space portion 10 are substantially rectangular on the bottom surface. However, the shape of the engaging protrusion 7 and the fitting protrusion 8 is not limited to this, and may be formed in an elliptical shape, for example.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, ribs 23 can be formed on the side surfaces of the fitting protrusion 8. In this case, when the upper and lower greening panels 20 are overlapped, as shown in FIG. 13, the ribs 23 of the lower greening panel 20 are in the engagement space portion 9 of the upper greening panel 20. You will be taken in. For this reason, as shown in the figure, the fitting protrusion 8 of the lower greening panel 20 is fitted in a state of being deeply inserted into the fitting space 10 of the upper greening panel 20. Therefore, the possibility that the upper and lower greening panels 20 and 20 are inadvertently brought into close contact with each other and it becomes difficult to release the fitted state can be solved.

  However, as compared with the case where the ribs 23 are not formed on the side surfaces of the fitting protrusions 8 as in the above embodiment, when the greening panels 20 are stacked in a plurality of stages, the ribs 23 are bulky. It becomes. Therefore, the presence / absence of the ribs 23 may be selected while considering the advantages and disadvantages of the embodiment of FIG. 10 and the embodiments of FIGS.
