Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The disclosed technology can be installed in parks, amusement parks, school grounds, sports gyms, terraces, gardens, etc., and can be used as a trampoline on natural grass, etc. It belongs to the technical field of waving lawn structures that can produce a waving phenomenon that allows for easy exercise and play.

<Summary of the gist> The invention of this application is based on a base mat made of flexible resin such as soft plastic, on which a sheet-like mat made of corrosive soil or the like is planted with grass such as natural grass or artificial grass. This invention relates to a lawn structure that can exhibit a waving phenomenon in which folds such as kneading are freely formed by attaching a flexible sheet, and in particular, a flexible sheet made of soft resin or the like is attached to the back side of the flexible sheet. This invention relates to a wavy lawn structure in which one or a predetermined number of sealed fluid mats are disposed adjacent to each other via passages such as hoses.

<Prior Art> As is well known, as people's lives have improved, their lifestyles have become more obnoxious in various aspects, and maintaining health has become more important. Health promotion has become important among young people such as adolescents, and various exercise facilities and sports clubs have been established, and sports enthusiasm has become extremely popular.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, conventional playgrounds, sports gyms, etc.! As facilities have shifted their focus to health promotion functions, for example,
In most cases, it is limited to specialized sports such as golf, baseball, soccer, tennis, and volleyball, and some specialized sports clubs have multiple exercise facilities such as swimming, room running, and volleyball. However, even these are just a collection of various specialized sports functions, and there are almost no modes in which sports such as forest bathing or cycling can be performed inside a green environment, much less those who cannot afford it financially. Sports parks for young people, rooftops of condominiums restricted by narrow land conditions,
Furthermore, there were almost no facilities where people could exercise their mind and body in a natural way while also having the elements of play while gaining psychological satisfaction in a natural environment such as on a terrace or in a garden.

To deal with this, natural lawns can be grown in special sports gyms or poolsides of luxury cruise ships on ocean routes, or plantations can be created where potted ground cover such as begonias and orchids are arranged in spots. There is also a mode in which people can exercise and play in various environments, but in such a mode, exercise and play can be carried out freely between these environments due to considerations such as damage to ground cover. The problem was that it was difficult.

In addition, most of the traditional games and sports are fixed in type and have no novelty, and despite the fact that there is a growing demand for sports with a so-called simple feel among young people,
There was also the inconvenience that these were not satisfied.

Conventionally, in parks, schoolyards, event venues, etc., natural lawns are laid out on a flat surface, and access is prohibited to protect the natural lawns, which merely satisfy the visual green environment atmosphere. There were only facilities with only negative functions.

<Objective of the Invention> The object of the invention of this application is to not be satisfied with the fixed types of games, sports, etc. based on the above-mentioned prior art, but to be able to play games, sports, etc. that are physiologically and psychologically sufficient in a green environment. It is a park that is completely satisfying, is aesthetically pleasing, can be freely designed to minimize the area occupied, not only promotes motor function, but also promotes positive aspects of health and hygiene for both the mind and body. To provide an excellent undulating lawn structure that fully satisfies the Efsteria element and benefits the field of composite technology utilization in the outdoor construction industry, for event venues, as well as terraces of condominiums and gardens of private residences. That is.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the structure of the invention of this application, which is based on the scope of the above-mentioned claims in accordance with the above-mentioned purpose, has the following features:
In parks, event venues, school playgrounds, sports centers, as well as the rooftops of apartments, terraces, and gardens of private residences, one or more predetermined numbers of flexible resin, etc. A fluid mat is installed, and according to the design, these are connected by a passage such as a hose having a throttle valve through a control circuit, and a sheet such as a flexible resin air mat is laid on the common upper surface, and If natural grass is grown on corrosive soil that can be peeled off and replaced one by one, or artificial grass is planted and laid down to create a wavy lawn, gravity is applied in a trampoline style to the side of the lawn.
Through the flexibility of the fluid mat, the wavy lawn folds and becomes wavy, imparting appropriate movements such as jumping motion and rotation in the air, and also imparts a pine surge effect, and also promotes a refreshing feeling by sprinkling water on the lawn. It also promotes the absorption of fresh air and ozone-containing air through carbonic acid assimilation,
A sufficient sense of visual satisfaction is obtained, and the visual change of the Efsteria structure due to the undulation is fully utilized over time, and not only changes due to the kneeping action, but also changes due to the hydraulic pump etc. depending on the design. Through the supply and drainage action, the fluid mat of each unit expands and contracts, making it possible to forcibly create undulating folds.Furthermore, the design allows for the spotting of ground cover such as flowers in the necessary areas of the undulating lawn. We have taken technical measures to make it more aesthetically pleasing by arranging it in a row, and to make it possible to use it as a new exercise and play FFI facility.

<Example> Next, an example of the invention of this application will be described below based on the drawings.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1.2, 1 is a wavy lawn that forms the center of the gist of the invention of this application, and in this embodiment, a large lawn is used for sports parks, sports centers, parks, schoolyards, gymnasiums, etc. In addition, small-sized ones are used on the rooftops of apartments, terraces, gardens, and even miniature ones are used as indoor II. Resin water tank type or oil tank type fluid mats 3.3... are installed adjacent to each other in a unit type, and from the bottom of each of these is a throttle valve having a predetermined flow resistance. 4 and have a relief valve and are connected to each other via a predetermined controller 7 by a passage 5 such as a hose, and the controller 7 is connected to a fluid tank 9 via a fluid pump 8 such as a hydraulic pump, Fluid leakage from each fluid mat 3 can be naturally replenished.

Each fluid mat 3 is filled in advance with an average amount of oil or water from the tank 9 via the control device 7 to prevent natural leakage during operation.

A base mat 10 of an air mat made of flexible resin or the like is placed on the upper surface of each fluid mat 3, and a lawn mat 12 on which natural grass 11 is grown in a predetermined corroded soil is placed on the upper surface of the base mat 10. are placed on the floor, and from the outside it looks like a kind of lawn carpet with natural grass sheets laid down.

Of course, in this embodiment, the lawn 11 in the lawn mat 12 may be an artificial lawn made of plastic or vinyl chloride instead of natural grass, but it may be made of artificial grass such as plastic or vinyl chloride. From the functional point of view, laying natural grass is more preferable.

Therefore, when laying the lawn mat 12 on the air mat 10, the grass mat 12 is properly fastened with buttons or hooks to prevent relative displacement or peeling, and the units of each predetermined size are laid adjacent to each other. It is also possible to freely replace each unit depending on the degree of damage or wear, or to select a colorful design such as a checkerboard pattern or a mosaic pattern depending on the type or color of the lawn for each unit.

In addition, in terms of design changes, it is possible to directly or indirectly grow appropriate ground cover such as flowers at each predetermined spot of the lawn pine 1, and it is also possible to plant a plantation of an appropriate height. Of course.

In the above structure, not only young people such as infants and adolescents,
For the purpose of exercising or sunbathing, middle-aged and elderly people lie down on the grass mat 12 of the undulating grass 1, or do a trampoline effect by jumping and flipping, etc., as shown in Fig. 2. , when a load F is applied from above at a predetermined location, the applied load is applied to the fluid mat 3 at that location via the air mat 10, or the fluid mat 3.3 adjacent thereto.
The expansion/contraction force is applied to and transmitted to the area.

As a result, the fluid in the fluid mat 3 at each location that has received the applied load F is compressed and is controlled by the control device 7 through the passage 5 such as a hose so that it does not return to the tank 9 from the check valve (not shown). At this time, the control device 7 detects the pressure of the fluid mat 3 that has received the applied load F, and controls the throttle valve of the other fluid mat 3. 4 is automatically adjusted, and the pressurized fluid from the fluid mat 3 that has received the applied load F is sent through the control device 7 to the fluid mats 3. The fluid mat 3, which is distributed outflow through the valves 4.4 and thus subjected to the applied load F, contracts and
Since the other fluid mats 3.3... bulge out, the lawn mat 12 as a whole folds as shown in FIG. Depending on the degree, a kind of waving effect may occur on the grass mat 12, and depending on the form, a wave-like propagation phenomenon may even occur, giving the reaction a unique sense of dynamism that cannot be obtained with conventional sports odors. This will occur with the following.

Of course, the waving phenomenon caused by waving at this time depends on the type and viscosity coefficient of the fluid contained in each fluid mat 3, the properties of the fluid mat, and the air mat 10.
Of course, the design can be changed depending on the material etc.

Such a phenomenon is not simply a trampoline phenomenon of only one person at a specific location on the lawn mat 12, but also a complicated rippling phenomenon caused by mutually independent jumping movements of multiple people at multiple locations. Effects such as a pine surge effect due to the expansion and contraction effect of each fluid mat 3 can also be provided.

In addition, this phenomenon is very interesting when viewed from a side bench or the like, and is visually pleasing, and the changes over time of the Efsteria facility provide sufficient visual enjoyment.

And, such rhythmic movements are extremely effective not only for young people, middle-aged and elderly people, but also for kindergarten children and nursery school children, and even for childcare play at home.
Even young children can enjoy pleasure both physically and mentally.

Of course, there is no doubt that it is extremely effective for elderly people to sunbathe or take a nap.

Next, the embodiment shown in FIG.
2, the waving phenomenon occurs due to the waving caused by folding of the grass mat 12 through the trampoline etc., whereas the overall upper surface level of each fluid mat 3, i.e. With the level set in a flat state in advance, compressive force is applied to the internally stored fluid of a predetermined fluid mat 3 via the fluid pump 8 and the switching valve 13 to swell it, and the other fluid mats 3 are For each fluid mat 3.3, adjust the throttle valve 4.
...Forcibly supplying, outflowing, expanding and contracting the fluid in between from the outside to give the grass mat 12 a fold regardless of the presence of a person on it, thereby creating a rippling phenomenon through heteronomous waving. This mode is designed to provide various forms of stimulation, and it is possible to provide suitable stimulating exercises and pine surges to the elderly, sick, women, and children, not only to promote health but also to prevent earthquakes, etc. This mode promotes the absorption of carbon and ozone in the atmosphere of the natural lawn 11 while providing a sense of balance to the natural grass, and also provides sufficient atmospheric satisfaction. The waving phenomenon can be applied partially or entirely, and in terms of design changes, similar to the above embodiment, ground cover such as flowers or plantations can be applied to predetermined spots of the lawn mat. Of course, it is possible to provide the following.

The fluid mat 3 in each of the above embodiments may be a fluid mat made of flexible soft plastic or rubber.
The shape thereof may be a rectangular tank type as shown in FIG. 4, or a spherical type as shown in FIG. 5.

The form of the wavy lawn of the invention of this application as an Efsteria fixture is not limited to the above-mentioned mat types, but also a circle shape with a pool pool 14 in the center as shown in FIG. 7, and a shape as shown in FIG. Bromnath and flower beds 15
It can be placed around the

Note that the actual IM aspect of the invention of this application is of course not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and may include a shower ring device, a spot lighting device, a clean air blowing device, etc. around the undulating lawn. Various aspects can be adopted.

In addition, as mentioned above, in terms of design changes, artificial grass can be used instead of natural grass, or a mixture of the two can be used, and vegetation and planting patterns such as checkerboard patterns and mosaic patterns can be replaced or combined. Of course, it is also possible to plant ground cover such as flowers and plants here and there.

Furthermore, it is also possible to allow water to seep out from the bottom of the grass mat.

The object of the invention of this application is the movement of each of the above-mentioned embodiments,
It can be used not only as a play device, but also as a wavy lawn mat for inside and outside the house, an interior device, and as an interior and exterior decoration that gives dynamic changes over time, as well as for ornaments.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the invention of this application, a simple grass mat can be used basically in sports parks, playgrounds, sports centers, and even on the roofs of apartments, terraces, gardens of private homes, etc. By making it possible to take on a rippling form through the waving phenomenon caused by the folding, for example, the pine surge effect can be achieved not only during exercise by young and middle-aged people, but also during rest and sleep by sick and elderly people. Not only is it effective for promoting health by imparting various muscle movements autonomously and heteronomously, but its slopes and folds change over time, making it suitable for use as Efsteria fixtures and interior decorations. It has an excellent effect that makes it suitable for viewing, and by using a natural lawn for vegetation, it is possible to promote health through carbon dioxide assimilation and ozone action.

The waving of the undulating lawn can be done either through a base mat such as an air mat under the lawn mat, or through a predetermined number of units of fluid mat throttle valves or passages. Since the undulation occurs through the supply and outflow due to flow resistance, no impulsive force is applied, and no unexpected damage to the entire product occurs.According to this, it can also be used as a rehabilitation tool or a treatment tool. There are even side benefits you can do.

In addition, by laying the grass on the base mat, the appearance is sufficiently aesthetically pleasing and has the effect of promoting taste in plazas, event venues, etc.

Since everything except the control device having a special electronic control device can be manufactured using conventional technology, it does not require much man-hours, does not increase costs, and has the advantage of being able to provide a mass production supply system.
