Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of removably planting a wall surface of a building with plants.

[0002]

[Prior Art] By decorating the walls of buildings, elevated structure walls, concrete retaining walls, river revetments, etc. with plants, it is effective not only for improving the scenery and rendering, but also for reducing the heat load against urban heat islands. Since it is large, various proposals for this have been made. The typical method is as follows.

(1) Plant vines on the ground or planting containers at the foot of the building wall, or plant vines on a balcony or rooftop to plant vines and then directly plant vines on the walls. Adsorb and climb or hang down.

(2) Instead of adsorbing the vines directly on the wall as described above, a climbing auxiliary material such as a net or a lattice set attached to the wall is attached and the vines are adsorbed on this material.

(3) A plant pot is hung on the wall surface, and vines are planted on the pot to crawl on the wall surface.

(4) When constructing a wall surface, a material for planting is embedded in advance, and a plant is planted on the wall surface using this material.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned method, in general, wall surface greening depends on the growth of plants, so it takes time to green, and it is difficult to shape it into an arbitrary shape according to the wall surface. There is a problem that it is difficult to renew the tree as needed.

[0008] On the other hand, not only are vines planted on the wall surface, but the beautification / scenery is carried out according to the position and characteristics of the building so that the wall surface is intended. It is ideal to be able to freely select the type of plant, and to achieve a wide variety of greening, and the arrival of technology that meets these requirements is desired. However, conventional technology is not at this level. The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[0009]

According to the present invention, a plant cell and a planting cell having a trunk having a diameter larger than that of the cell are connected to each other by a short pipe to form a two-dimensional expansion on the wall surface. The cells are scattered, the water-retentive culture material is loaded into the cells, and the roots of the plants are inserted into the inlets to plant the plants, and water is supplied into the cells through the short pipes. A detachable wall surface greening method is provided.

[0010]

[Function] If a plant retaining cell and a planting cell having a body with a diameter larger than this inlet are loaded with a water-retaining culture material and the root of the plant is inserted into the inlet, various plants will not fall from this cell. Can be implanted as. If the cells in which the plants are planted are connected by vertical and horizontal pipes and scattered on the wall with a two-dimensional spread, the wall can be decorated with plants.

At that time, by connecting each planting cell and the short pipe in a detachable manner, the number and arrangement of cells can be freely selected, and replacement is also free. Therefore, the greening area can be freely adjusted according to the shape and size of the wall surface, and the restoration can be freely performed.

Further, by connecting each planting cell with a short pipe in the vertical direction and a short pipe in the horizontal direction, for example, in a grid pattern, each planting cell can be stably supported, and the vertical pipe can supply water for moisture. Can be used as a supply means of. For example, the nutrient water can be supplied into each planting cell by instilling the nutrient water from the upper end of the vertical pipe. At that time, the planting cell and the vertical pipes are filled with a water-retaining culture material so that the nutrient water can be maintained for a required time. Moreover, the horizontal pipe can be used not only as a support member for supporting the planting cell but also as a rainwater receiver.

In addition, since each planting cell serves as an independent planting container, any plant can be planted freely. As a result, the planting cells can be painted in different colors and colors depending on the plant selected in each cell. You can freely decorate the wall. Moreover, if you use flowering plants, you can enjoy changes over time according to the flowering time.

The wall surface greening method of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the embodiments of the drawings.

EXAMPLE FIG. 1 is an elevational view schematically showing an example of a wall surface greening method of the present invention, in which a planting cell 1 is a vertical short pipe 2 (hereinafter referred to as a vertical pipe) and a horizontal direction. Short pipe 3
It shows a state in which various plants are planted in each planting cell 1 by connecting them with a two-dimensional spread on the wall surface (also referred to as a horizontal pipe).

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the planting cell 1, and FIG. 3 shows its cross section. The planting cell 1 of this example has a plant planting port 4
It is composed of a container whose height on the upper surface is lower than the inner diameter of the barrel, and the barrel has pipe connection holes 5 at 90 ^° intervals around the central axis. The hole 5 is a short cylinder slightly protruding from the body of the container. A lid 6 is attached to each unused connection hole 5.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the vertical pipe 2 and the horizontal pipe 3 are connected to the planting cell 1, and the short pipe of the pipe connecting hole 5 of the planting cell 1 and each pipe 2, 3 are coupled. It is connected using the joint 7. At that time, the vertical pipe 2 uses a normal hollow pipe, but the horizontal pipe 3 uses a pipe having a rainwater receiving hole 8 and is connected to the planting cell 1 so that the rainwater receiving hole 8 faces upward. To do.

FIG. 5 schematically shows a state in which the water-retaining material 9 is loaded into the planting cell 1 and the plant root 10 is loaded from the planting port 4 and planted. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, it is convenient to wrap the root 10 of the plant together with the culture soil in the porous sheet 11 and then plant the plant.

The planting cell 1 is loaded with the water retaining material 9, and the vertical pipe 2 is also loaded with a required amount of the water retaining material. This water-retaining material includes artificial inorganic materials such as perlite, vermiculite, and zeolite, as well as peat moss,
Use organic materials such as peat, as well as highly corroded black soil, alone or in combination. In addition, it is possible to use the entire amount of roke wool. It should be noted that the water retention material loaded in the vertical pipe 2 is preferably one having a certain degree of water permeability.

In this way, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, by connecting the planting cells 1 in the vertical direction by the vertical pipes 2 and in the horizontal direction by the horizontal pipes 3,
The planting cells 1 can be scattered in a required area on the wall surface in a grid pattern, and by planting an arbitrary plant in each planting cell 1, the wall surface can be decorated with plants.

In this case, it goes without saying that the greening frame of the present invention thus constructed is fixed to the wall surface as a whole, and is completely fixed by using an anchor or the like attached to the wall surface. At that time, the greening frame is detachably fixed to the wall surface so that the greening frame can be freely attached and detached. The planting cells and pipes may be made of metal, but in order to minimize the load on the entire greening frame, it is better to make it with a polymer resin material of low specific gravity.

To replenish the plants in each planting cell 1 with nutrient water, as shown in FIG. 1, a nutrient water replenishing port 12 is attached to the uppermost stage of the vertical pipe 2, and a replenishing moisture tank (not shown) is attached to the replenishing port 12. ) To supply an appropriate amount of nutrient water in the form of a drip through the nutrient moisture hose 13. The water supply supplied from the uppermost stage of the pipe is impregnated in the water retention material in the vertical pipe 2 and the planting cell 1, so that the water supply is maintained in the entire vertical direction. On the other hand, by closing the lowermost end of the vertical pipe 2 with the water-permeable plug 14, the water-retaining material can be discharged without dropping the water-retaining material.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, by using a horizontal pipe 3 having a rainwater receiving hole 8, rainwater is planted from the horizontal pipe 3 to the planting cell 1 and the vertical pipe 2.
It also flows naturally into. As a result, the planting cell is appropriately replenished with water, and excess water is discharged from the lowermost end of the vertical pipe 2.

As a planting cell, when it is attached to a wall surface, it is attached to a wall surface in addition to the above-mentioned embodiment in which plants are planted so that the trunks and stems face in a direction substantially perpendicular to the wall surface. Depending on the type of plant to be planted, various types can be used, in addition to the one with the spigot facing diagonally upward or vertically, and depending on the case. In addition to the above-described embodiment in which the pipe connecting holes are provided at 90 ^° intervals, the pipe connecting holes are set at 45 ^° intervals, 60 ^° intervals, or the like so as to form a diagonal cross shape or 6
Planting cells can also be scattered in a square mosaic pattern. At that time, the distinction between a horizontal pipe and a vertical pipe may disappear, but in essence, it may be considered that the nutrient water flows from the upper side to the lower side through the pipe.

In addition to the above-described embodiment, the planting cell and the pipe are connected by screwing the hole provided in the planting cell and the end of the pipe, and the pipe is made of a flexible resin for planting. Adopt a removable connection method that is applied to ordinary pipe connections, such as a method in which the cell hole is made into a short tube and the pipe is inserted into the short tube of the planting cell like a faucet and hose. You can

Industrial Applicability As described above, according to the present invention, planting cells, to which water for nutrients is appropriately supplied, are scattered on a wall formed of concrete or the like in accordance with the shape and size of the wall. Since it can be done, wall greening can be easily and rapidly created, and by selecting various kinds of plants,
Even on the same wall, it is possible to produce various landscapes and greatly enhance the effect of the amenity.

In addition to such effects for improving the landscape,
By covering the exposed concrete wall surface with plants, the heat load reduction effect and the thermal environment adjustment effect can be achieved, which in turn contributes to the improvement of the urban environment such as the energy saving effect, the carbon dioxide absorption effect, and the sound insulation effect. Yes,
It can contribute to the promotion of greening administration.

Further, also in terms of maintenance, it was difficult to maintain and replant once the planting was done by the conventional wall surface greening method, but in the method of the present invention, the plant was previously planted in the plant growing equipment. If mass production is carried out rapidly, and if planting cells and pipes are prepared, they can be transported to the site and installed, facilitating wall surface greening work and maintenance, and changing or removing plant types. Since it can be done freely, greening work and maintenance can be rationalized.

Regarding the supply of nutrient water, automation of drip infusion from the upper end of the pipe and natural drainage from the lower end of the pipe allow unmanned nutrient water management, and rainwater can be utilized, facilitating maintenance of plants.
