Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a planting box for growing plants on the wall surface of a building, the outside of a veranda, a concrete wall, a balustrade of a bridge, and other places on the side of a space such as a building. is there. Therefore, because it is set in a relatively short distance space, the entire planting box is covered with plants so that it can be enjoyed in the short distance space side and the living environment can be beautified. It forms a planting box with a view.

2. Description of the Related Art Regarding the growth of plants in a planting box, the same applicant as the present invention has long taken the lead in disclosing various inventions. Techniques disclosed by the same applicant, such as Japanese Patent No. 1050930, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-32929, and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 3-22925, exist as conventional techniques.

[0003]

As described above, the planting box of the present invention is set on the side of a space such as a building, so that it can be enjoyed at a relatively short distance and has a direct connection to the living environment. Therefore, it is important to minimize the exposure of artificial works, to green and beautify the whole, and to have a lively aesthetic view so that the presence of the outer part of the planting box is not as noticeable as possible. Is a necessary requirement, and
Since the plants in the planting area other than the top surface are unstable laterally planted and placed in an environment exposed to wind and rain, it is necessary to take measures to prevent the shaking and fluctuation of the plants and the diffusion of the culture soil. In addition, unlike the plants planted on the ground, the entire structure is cultivated on the side of the space, and therefore adverse effects due to heat rays such as direct sunlight and radiant heat are also serious, so it is necessary to suppress it as much as possible.

[0004]

The present invention has the above-mentioned problems.
In order to solve the above, the following configuration was adopted. That is, on
The outer shell with an open top that has a plant implant on the surface
It is fixed to the side of the space such as a building by the fixing plate for suspension of the surface.
In the planting box that grows plants by
At least on the front side, multiple stud holes are provided in multiple rows
A side implant part, and the inside of the outer part of this side implant part.
On the peripheral surface, there is a stem insertion groove that inserts the stem of the plant
Insert the inner contact plate to prevent intrusion, and set the inner circumference of this inner contact plate.
Placed an open-cell foam sheet for heat insulation and air introduction on the surface
This open cell foam sheet corresponds to the stem insertion groove
Position, the root of the plant can be inserted and the stem of the plant is kept in close contact.
It is a cut that can be held. Outer shell has low heat
Conductive materials such as organic materials such as FRP
For example, even when it is fixed to the wall surface of a building, the weight is reduced.
Insulation even when exposed to direct sunlight, radiant heat, and other light rays
It is preferable because it has an effect. Also, implants formed on the outer shell
The holes are arranged vertically in 2 or 3 steps.
If you arrange them in two or three rows in the direction,
In a planting box that can be seen from a relatively short distance
This is preferable because it reduces the exposed surface area of the outer shell.
It can be said that this is a new embodiment. This outer shell is a box shape with an open top
The length of the depth depends on the installation location.
However, if the depth is relatively long,
It is desirable to form the stud holes on the side surfaces in multiple stages.
That way, the entire surface of the outer shell will be surrounded by plants.
become. In addition, if necessary, the studs should be placed between the studs.
Even if a constriction part is formed to form a linked implant part
Good. Furthermore, the corners of the bottom should be curved as necessary.
It should be considered so that it will be easily covered by plants.

In such a planting box, long-term
A water tank was provided to avoid irrigation over the entire period.
A configuration can also be adopted. That is, by the boundary plate in the outer shell,
A division is formed between the lower water tank section and the upper plant growing section.
Then, the water in the water tank part is sucked up to the plant growing part side on the boundary plate.
A moisture wicking mechanism was installed to absorb moisture on the plant growth side of the boundary plate.
Wettable continuous porosity that keeps water diffusion in cooperation with lifting mechanism
The body sheet is laid and the height of the water tank part and the plant growing part
Set the ratio so that the plant growing department is large, and
Adopted a configuration in which multiple side implants are arranged on the growing section side
it can. Here, the height of the water tank part and the plant growth part is divided.
The outer shell should be set so that the plant growing section becomes large.
In order to cover the entire surface of the part with plants as much as possible
Yes, in this way the main part of the
Outside the outer shell, eg to replenish water in the water tank
For example, on the back side of the outer shell, or any other inconspicuous place,
A configuration in which an auxiliary tank is installed can also be adopted.

In the above structure, the inner surface of the outer shell is
Insert and arrange the contact plate, and insulate and air on the inner peripheral surface of this inscribed plate.
The open-cell foam sheet for introduction arranged, the open cell
Align the root of the plant with the foam sheet at the position corresponding to the stem insertion groove.
A cut that can be inserted and holds the plant stem tightly
Once formed, the planting box will be protected from direct sunlight, radiant heat, etc.
Low thermal conductivity material, inner plate and foam sheet
Invasion of light rays etc. is prevented at the plant and the culture soil in the growing section is planted.
Prevents outflow and scattering from the recess
it can. Also, at the cut end of the open-cell foam sheet, the plant
Stalks can be held tightly, and because of its heat insulation effect
Therefore, the temperature can be maintained at a temperature suitable for growing plants. Sa
In addition, the open-cell foam sheet grows air from above.
Since it can be introduced into the growing section, good plant growth is possible.
It This open-cell foam sheet also has a heat insulating effect.
Therefore, the growth of the plant is improved. In addition, an auxiliary tank
When used, the water of the outer shell that has an automatic moisture wicking mechanism
Set it at the same height as the tank and connect it, or a suitable check valve machine
Connect by structure to supply water shortage for a long time.
