Abstract

PURPOSE:To build an excellent place for both mind and body by a method wherein by activating the physiological activity of vegetable densely planted in a given space, discharge of a radiation material is promoted, and obtained radiation component-contained air is fed in a human living space. CONSTITUTION:Trees, e.g. a fir, a Japanese cypress, a Japanese cedar, a ginkgo, a tree of life, a eucalyptus, a camphor tree, planted in a forest, can be used as vegetable 5, and especially a young plant is preferable. Since a vegetable planting space is reduced as much as possible to improve space efficiency, vegetable is densely planted, and is planted at a high temperature in a range of 25-35 deg.C near the upper limit of temperature suitable for growth of vegetable. Artificial illumination 22 is provided where necessary. In this way, a radiation component is generated and by utilizing natural convection, the feed of the radiation component to a human living space is effected. In order to improve efficiency, a vegetable planting space 6 is partitioned from the outside 7, and atmosphere in the vegetable planting space 6 is fed to a human living space 10 through a first blower 8 and a duct 9 where necessary.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention provides a space within a building where human life activities take place.
It relates to a method of improving the living environment of humans by introducing the vitality generated by trees, as seen in forests, and creating a place where people can live better both physically and mentally.

[Conventional technology and its issues]

In recent years, human life has become concentrated in cities due to the development of science, technology, and industry, and the human living environment, especially the atmospheric environment, is deteriorating.

In the past, the biologically active functions of forest trees purified the atmosphere by adsorbing existing gases and replenishing oxygen, creating an environment suitable for sustaining our lives and carrying out daily activities.

In other words, forest trees are fine dust contained in the air.

It adsorbs and absorbs harmful substances such as NoX and So, and at the same time supplies fresh oxygen. It is known that these plant physiologically active substances emit volatile organic compounds (phytoncides) such as phenolic compounds, and these physiologically active substances in plants have effects on the sedation, stability, and alertness of the human mind, blood pressure, muscle strength, breathing, and gastrointestinal effects. It is said that it contributes to the physiological activities of human life and the creation of the environment, such as digestion, diuresis, sterilization, and insecticide.

However, due to recent urbanization, the density of tree vegetation within the human living environment in cities is decreasing year by year, making it difficult to regenerate against environmental damage such as air pollution caused by human life, and the living environment continues to deteriorate. The current situation is that we are moving forward.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as a means to improve the deterioration of urban air quality, indoor air has been passed through filters to remove suspended matter and activated carbon to remove odors and the like. Although this technology has certain effects, it only removes harmful substances and does not provide components that contribute to human physiological activities, like forest trees do.

Recently, efforts have also been made to improve the indoor air environment by dispersing fragrances or essential oils extracted from trees indoors using air conditioners, but these are just some of the components emitted by trees. It is only a part-time activity, and you cannot expect the same effects as forest bathing.

Furthermore, potted plants are placed in houses, offices, etc., but these are intended to improve the visual environment, and do not contain emitted components to the extent that they contribute to human physiological activity. You can't get it.

For these reasons, there is a desire to make human living spaces in buildings similar to forest environments, and there is a strong demand for the development of artificial forest technology that can generate a large amount of radiated components in a small space.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention has focused on this point and has developed a cultivation method that enables the generation of a large amount of emitted components in a small space, and has succeeded in purifying the air using this method. Plants are planted densely in a predetermined space, and light and nutrients are supplied, as well as heated to a temperature of 25°C to 35°C to activate the physiological activities of the plants and enhance the release of radioactive components. The present invention provides a method for improving the living environment using emitted components of living plants, which is characterized by supplying component-containing air to human living spaces in buildings.

Further, the present invention allows plants to grow in a space defined from the outside world, and air containing emitted components can be supplied to the human living environment at the most effective time.

Furthermore, the generation of radiated components is further increased by pruning the tree to increase the number of branches and leaves, applying external stimulation to the plant, or administering a corrective agent.

[For production]

When plants are cultivated by the above-mentioned method, the physiological activity of the trees becomes active and the generation of radioactive components becomes extremely large. Therefore, even in a small space, the air purifying effect similar to that of a wide-area natural forest occurs, and if this atmosphere is supplied to human living spaces, it will have the same effect as a forest, increasing human physiological activity and promoting mental stability. be able to.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, a plant cultivation membrane (11) used in the present invention is a structure in which a bed 3 is installed in a structure 2 to form a cultivation bed 4 to grow plants such as trees. vegetation.

The plant cultivation equipment 1 of the present invention may be installed anywhere in a building, such as in a basement, on a rooftop, in the center of a hall or against a wall, or on a terrace. Figure 1 shows an example of installation on the rooftop of an apartment, office building, etc.
The figure shows an example of the device installed in a basement, and FIG. 3 shows an example of the device installed in the center of a hall such as a lobby.

When using natural lighting, it is preferable to install it on rooftops, bay windows, terraces, etc., but if you plan to introduce light with artificial lighting, glass fiber, etc., it will be better to install it in the basement.

It can also be installed in a lobby, hall, etc.

Moreover, the plant cultivation equipment 1 can also be provided adjacent to a building.

The cultivation bed 4 is not particularly limited, and may be soil commonly used for plants and potted plants, and may be natural soil or an artificial cultivation bed using peat moss, soft silica, foamed resin, or the like.

In the present invention, the plants 5 can be widely used, and trees that grow in forests such as Sakhalin fir, Japanese cypress, Japanese cedar, ginkgo, Japanese cypress, eucalyptus, and camphor can be used.

Plants such as pothos can also be used.

Particularly preferred are trees that grow in temperate or subarctic zones.

These plants 5.5 are preferably young trees.

In the present invention, a young tree means a state of high physiological activity, and trees in the young to middle stage are used. Generally, 1st to 100th grade students are used, preferably 3rd to 6th grade students.

Although one type of these plants 5.5 can be used alone, the phytoncide components produced by the plants differ depending on the type, and the physiological activities imparted to humans differ based on this. Therefore, it is desirable to select the type or mix two or more types depending on the purpose.

Further, in the present invention, plants are planted densely in order to minimize the plant vegetation space and increase spatial efficiency.

The term "densely planted" in the present invention refers to densely planted vegetation that is higher than the vegetation density in a general forest, and means that a densely vegetated state is artificially created, for example, at intervals of 15a1.

Plants such as vegetated trees are cultivated at high temperatures close to the upper limit of the temperature suitable for the plants to live.

A range of 25 to 35°C is used for -a. By cultivating plants at high temperatures, their physiological activities are activated and more radioactive components are produced.

For heating, in addition to heating with an electric heater 21 as shown in the first diagram, a steam radiator, a gas/oil hot air heater, radiation heating, etc. can be used.

If necessary, artificial lighting 22 is provided as shown in the second figure.

Furthermore, at the same time as heating, far infrared rays having a wavelength of 2 to 7 microns, preferably 3 to 6 microns, can be irradiated onto the plants or cultivation beds using ceramics or the like. Irradiation with far-infrared rays has the effect of exterminating M bacteria, protecting plants from pathogens, and changing the composition of emitted components.

In the present invention, plants are cultivated in a state where their physiological activity is extremely active. Therefore, it is necessary to provide sufficient nutrients such as fertilizer, fertilization, and temperature control.

It is desirable to have automatic control of watering.

In addition, by pinching the vegetated plants, the leaf area can be increased and the number of branches and leaves can be increased.

Therefore, by pinning the plants, it is possible to increase the radiated components, and furthermore, by pruning the plants, it is possible to shape the tree and create a visually beautiful appearance.

Cultivation at high temperatures generates emitted components, and the resulting air containing the emitted components is delivered to human living spaces within buildings.

In this case, natural convection can be used to feed the human living space, but in order to increase efficiency, the first

．． The human living space 10 can be fed through the duct 9 .

Moreover, as a partition for forming the plant vegetation space 6,
Transparent plates such as glass and plastic can be used.
Alternatively, an air curtain may be used.

When using a transparent plate made of glass, plastic, etc., the surface may be cleaned by applying an antifogging agent, coating it with silicone resin, Teflon resin, etc., and installing a device that sprays water onto the plate. can.

The air containing the dissipated components is supplied to the human living space 10 using the first blower 8 as shown in the second diagram.
It is also possible to take 0 air into the plant vegetation space 6 through the second duct 11 and the second blower 12 and circulate it between the human living space 10 and the plant vegetation space 6.

Alternatively, the outside air from outside the building 2 may be taken in through the third duct 13 and sent to the human living space 10 through the plant vegetation space 6.

In this case, the outside air taken in is preferably purified through a filter 14 and activated carbon 15 before being sent to the plant vegetation space. In addition, by using activated charcoal and passing cherry, bratanus, locust or ginkgo organisms, No, + So
, can be removed.

In addition, in the present invention, in order to promote the generation of dissipative components,
It is desirable to stimulate the plants by applying an external force. The plants are
When a wound occurs on a branch or leaf, physiological activity becomes active and the generation of radiated components increases in order to heal it.

External force can be applied to the plants by injecting a high-speed air stream onto the plants, as shown in FIG. This can be done by injecting a high velocity air stream through the air.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, by running a trolley 20 on which flexible strings 619, 19 such as tape, ropes, chains, etc. are suspended, and traveling on the rails 23, the strings 19, 19 are brought into contact with the plants 5. At least an external force can be applied. In this case, when no stimulating work is to be performed, the trolley 20 is moved to one side and stopped, so that the aesthetic appearance is not spoiled.

Furthermore, the generation of emitted components can also be increased by administering a correcting agent.
