Description

[0001] Prefabricated plant cultivation equipment [0002]

The present invention relates to a prefabricated plant cultivation apparatus capable of mounting a plurality of pots and being arranged in various patterns on a plane.

Traditional plant cultivation methods using a large number of pollen require large spaces for planting. It is necessary to arrange the flowerpot vertically in a situation where the space is insufficient such as an indoor space or a complicated inner space. In addition, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2013-0043008, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0068829, Have been developed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted, however, that the drawing numbers for the same or similar components throughout the drawings and embodiments shall be used collectively.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, therefore, are not to be construed as limiting the technical spirit of the invention. It is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited by any of the details of the description to those skilled in the art from the standpoint of a person skilled in the art that any or all of the drawings shown in the drawings are not necessarily the shape,

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, a plant cultivation apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cultivation block 10 and a connecting member 20 connecting neighboring cultivation blocks 10.

The cultivation block 10 is approximately hexahedron, the interior of which is an empty space. An opening 11 is formed in the front surface to hold the flowerpot obliquely. A pedestal 111 is formed under the opening to support the inclined flowerpot. For reference, FIG. 2 (a) and FIG. 9 show that the pollen T is tilted on the pedestal 111.

The cultivation block 10 can be manufactured by separately manufacturing the upper member 10a and the lower member 10b and combining them. This type of construction contributes to reducing the number of molded articles by using a water storage block and an upper member, which will be described later, as a common part.

A certain level of water can be stored in the bottom portion of the inner space of the lower member 10b. The thus stored water is able to supply water to the soil contained in the pollen (T) by locking a part of the pollen (T) placed in the opening.

Since the cultivation block 10 is in the form of a hexahedron, the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 13 are rectangular. A recess 14 and a fitting hole 15 are formed in the four corners of the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 13. Since each of the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 13 has four corner portions, one of the cultivation blocks 10 has eight recessed portions 14 and a fitting hole 15.

The recessed portion 14 and the fitting hole 15 are configured to connect two cultivation blocks arranged vertically or at the same height on a horizontal plane. The recessed portion 14 and the fitting hole 15 are symmetrical about the center of the cultivation block 10, .

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, the recess 14 is formed by recessing the peripheral portion of the vertex of the hexahedron. The recess 14 serves as a space for accommodating the block body 21 of the connecting member 20 to be described later.

The fitting hole 15 formed at the bottom of the recess 14 has a circular cross section and a through hole is formed at the bottom of the fitting hole 15 and communicates with the empty internal space of the replica block 10.

The edges of the four sides of the cultivation block 10 each lead to the bottom of the depression 14, and the side edge 16 is formed as a curved surface.

4, the arc 161 of the curved surface formed by the side edge 16 becomes a part of the circumference of the concentric circle C with respect to the fitting hole 15 when the reaming block 10 is viewed from above . That is, when the curved surface of the side edge 16 is extended to form the circle C, the circle C is concentric with the fitting hole 15. [

The limitation of the curved surface with respect to the side edges is related to the various planar arrangements of the cultivation block 10 via the connecting member 20 described below.

The connecting member 20 is a member for vertically stacking or connecting other cultivating blocks disposed side by side. The connecting member (20) has two or more cylindrical columns (22) inserted into the fitting hole (15).

Specifically, various connecting members are shown in Figs. 3 (a) to 3 (c).

The connecting member (hereinafter, referred to as a quadric link member 20a) shown in FIG. 3 (a) is provided with a pair of cylindrical columns 22 in the up-and-down direction about the block body 21 .

The cylindrical pillar 22 provided in parallel to the block member 21 is connected by a passage 23 formed inside the four-way connecting member 20a. Thus, the upper two cylindrical columns 22 can function as tubes.

Both side portions of the block body 21 are formed by a curved surface 211. The curved surface 211 corresponds to the concave surface 141 formed inside the depression 14. When the four-way connecting member 20a is coupled to the fitting hole 15, the curved surface of the block body 21 is brought into contact with the concave surface 141 of the depressed portion. The curved line formed by the concave surface 141 becomes a part of the circumference of the imaginary circle C forming the arc of the aforementioned side edge 16 when the depression 14 is viewed in a plan view.

The connecting member shown in FIG. 3 (b) (hereinafter referred to as a "straight connecting member 20b") has a shape in which cylindrical pillars 22 are provided at both ends of the cylindrical block body 21. The two cylindrical columns 22 are communicated with each other by the linear passage 23 passing through the cylindrical column 22 at one end, the block body 21 and the cylindrical column 22 at the other end. The flat connecting member 20b is used to vertically communicate the two stacking blocks 10 with each other.

The connecting member (hereinafter referred to as a 'C-shaped connecting member 20c') shown in FIG. 3 (c) is a shape in which the middle of the four-top connecting member 20a is cut. A pair of cylindrical columns 22 are provided in parallel at the upper portion of the block body 21 and these two cylindrical columns 22 are connected by a passage 23.

3 (d) is the closing member 30. The closing member 30 has one cylindrical column 22 and a block body 21, but no passage is formed. The closing member 30 is coupled to one fitting hole to block the fitting hole.

Although not shown in detail in FIG. 3, an O-ring for sealing may be provided around each cylindrical column.

The spacing d1 between the four top linking members 20a and the two cylindrical columns 22 arranged side by side in the C-shaped connecting member 20c is set to be equal to the distance d1 between the side edges 16 Of the distance d2.

In Fig. 4, another rewinding block 10 'is placed on the right side of the middle rehabilitation block 10, and the distance d1 between the front and rear fitting holes 15 disposed close to each other, The spacing distance (d1 in FIG. 3 (a) or (c)) of the two cylindrical columns disposed side by side in the connecting member or the U-shaped connecting member is the same.

On the other hand, on the left side of FIG. 4, another rewinding block 10 '' is arranged in a state where the side edges 16 of the rewiring blocks 10 '' are in contact with each other. Is equal to the distance d1 between the two cylindrical columns 22 arranged side by side in the four-top link member 20a or the C-shaped link member 20c (d1 in Fig. 3 (a) or (c) Do.

The curved surface of the side edge 16 follows the circumference of the circle C centered on the fitting hole 15 and the condition of the two cylinders arranged side by side in the four-top linking member 20a or the C- Shaped connecting member 20a or the C-shaped connecting member 20c (or 20b) by the condition that the separation distance d1 of the column 22 is twice the distance d2 from the fitting hole 15 to the side edge 16 Can arbitrarily set the angle of the other cultivation block 10 " connected to a cultivation block 10. Here, an arbitrary angle includes a case in which the side surfaces are disposed to face each other.

The connecting members used for connecting the cultivation blocks will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4. FIG.

The connection of the basic cultivation block 10 is a vertical lamination. The four fitting holes of the upper surface 12 of the reaming block 10 located at the lower part and the upper fitting surface of the lower right growing block 10 and the upper surface 13 of the reaming block 10 are connected. At this time, a straight type connecting member 20b or a four-type connecting member 20a is used for vertically connecting the replica block 10.

On the other hand, a plurality of sets of the cultivation blocks stacked one above the other can be connected to the left and right. At this time, the U-shaped connecting member 20c or the four-shaped connecting member 20a is used to connect the fitting holes located at the same height.

In this square connection (lamination in the vertical direction or side-by-side connection), the same type of connection member is used for the front-back and left-side fitting holes on the left side. In the plant cultivation apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1, the upper and lower cultivation blocks 10 are connected to each other at the right side. In the planting cultivation apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1, The member 20b is used.

Referring to Fig. 4, the four-way connecting member 20a is used to connect the upper left cultivation block, the upper right cultivation block, the lower left cultivation block and the lower cultivation block together. Shaped connection member 20c is used for connecting left and right upper surfaces of the cultivation blocks 10 at the uppermost end of the plant cultivation apparatus 100 or for connecting the lower surfaces of the cultivation blocks 10 at the lower end.

The closing member 30 is used to block the remaining insertion holes to which the connecting member 20 is not engaged. In FIG. 4, upper and lower left and right and bottom right insertion holes of the plant cultivation apparatus 100 are used.

On the other hand, the water storage block 50 may be used as the lower end of the plant cultivation apparatus 100. The water storage block 50 may have the same configuration as the rehabilitation block 10, except that there is no opening for pollen deposition. The water storage block 50 can be manufactured by assembling a lower member (not shown) having no opening in the upper member 10a shown in FIG.

4, the water flow inside the plant cultivation apparatus 100 is shown. The water collected in the water storage block 50 provided at the lower side is pressurized through the pump P and introduced into the upper part of the cultivation apparatus 100 located at the uppermost one side. In the drawing, the pump is shown as being located outside the water storage block, but the pump may be located inside the water storage block.

When the water level exceeds a certain level in the re-building block 10 due to the inflow water, the overflowing water flows into the left re-building block 10 through the four-way connecting member 20a, (10). In the cultivation blocks 10 arranged at the same height on the uppermost layer, the water level is kept constant in the cultivation blocks as the water flows from the left side to the right side. At the left end of the uppermost layer, the upper and lower rearing blocks 10 are connected to the straight connecting member 20b so that water flows into the lower rearing block 10.

In the second upper layer, water flows in through the rightmost cultivation block 10 and the leftmost cultivation block 10 through the straight connecting member 20b connected to the uppermost cultivation block 10, The rearing blocks 10 are communicated by the four-way connecting member 20a provided at the bottom, and the water is supplied horizontally. Therefore, a constant water level is maintained in each cultivation block of two layers. The re-building blocks 10 at both ends of the two layers are connected to the re-building block 10 at the both ends of the three-layer structure by the straight connecting member 20b, so that the overflowing water flows into the re-

In this way, the parallel growth blocks 10 of each layer are kept filled with a certain level of water.

The lowest water storage blocks 50 are communicated with each other by the C-shaped connecting member 20c so that water flowing into the leftmost water storage block 50 flows to the rightmost water storage block 50 . The collected water is again fed through the pump (P) to the uppermost cultivation block (10).

Referring back to FIG. 1, an arbitrary angle can be given when connecting the re-building block 10 horizontally. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the left growing blocks 10 and the right three growing blocks 10 are combined at a predetermined angle.

At the point where the angle is changed, the left and right reaming blocks 10 are connected to the rear fitting hole by the C-shaped connecting member 20c or the four-piece connecting member 20a. While the front fitting holes are connected to the closing member 30 or the straight connecting member 20b.

As described above, only one of the fitting hole at the front side and the fitting hole at the rear side of the same side is joined by the C-shaped connecting member 20c and the four-piece connecting member 20a, and the remaining fitting hole is formed by the closing member 30, By joining the member 20b, it is possible to change any angle at that portion. According to the selection of the connecting member, the assembly form of the plant cultivation apparatus can be changed in various forms on a plane.

6 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line C-C 'in FIG. 6 (a). In connecting the growth blocks 10 in a row, a C-shaped connecting member 20c or a four- Member.

In order to make the reaming blocks 10 acute with respect to the front surface of the rehabilitation block 10 on which the pollen is placed, a U-shaped connecting member 20c or a four-way connecting member is used only in the front fitting hole, A U-shaped connecting member 20c or a four-piece connecting member is used only in the fitting hole in the rear side.

Thus, the plant cultivation apparatus 100 can be customized along wall surfaces having various curved surfaces.

6 (b) and 6 (c) show the arrangement of the growth blocks 10 in a circular shape. A circular plant cultivation apparatus 100 in which the pots are mounted along the outer circumference by coupling the rear left and right fitting holes of each cultivation block 10 with the C-shaped connecting member 20c or the four-piece connecting member 20a . Such a circular structure allows the plant cultivation apparatus 100 to be installed around the circular column of the building.

Fig. 7 shows an example in which neighboring growth blocks 10 are assembled in a manner of being in contact with each other. On the rear surface of the cultivation block 10 located at the top of the drawing, the side surfaces of the other cultivation blocks 10 are mounted in a face-to-face manner so that the two cultivation blocks can be connected vertically. At this time, the U-shaped connecting member 20c and the four-piece connecting member 20a are coupled to the adjacent two fitting holes.

By appropriately mixing these vertical connection methods together with the installation angle giving method of FIG. 6, the plant cultivation apparatus can be installed in accordance with various structures of the building.

On the other hand, FIG. 8 shows that the plant cultivation apparatus 100 may be installed stepwise in the vertical direction.

As the front fitting holes of the upper surface 12 of the reaming block 10 located below and the front fitting holes of the lower surface of the rearing block 10 located above are coupled to the straight connecting member 20b or the quadruple connecting member, The rehabilitating block 10 is further protruded forward than the rehabilitating block 10 above. By repeating this, the plant cultivation apparatus can be configured to be stepped like a staircase. The three-dimensional arrangement of these cultivation blocks allows the maximum amount of sunlight on the pots placed in each cultivation block, and can be utilized in stairs or stables.

Figure 9 relates to a cultivation block 10 employed in another embodiment of the present invention. The technical characteristics of the cultivating block of the above-described embodiment can be intact as long as they do not conflict with the following description.

In the bottom of the cultivation block 10 according to another embodiment, a pedestal 40 for adjusting the height of the pollen T is provided.

At the end of the inner pipe 42, a protrusion 421 protruding from the outer circumferential surface is formed.

The stationary piping body 41 is provided with a longitudinal groove 411 formed in the longitudinal direction of the stationary piping body 41 and accommodating the projections 421 and a stationary piping body 41 at the left and right side walls of the longitudinal groove 411, A plurality of branch grooves 412 are formed in a zigzag shape along the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal grooves 411 so as to be able to receive the projections 421.

The projection length of the inner tube 42 can be adjusted while the protrusion 421 of the inner tube 42 rides along the length groove 411. [ The projection length of the inner tube 42 and the support plate 43 is fixed by rotating the inner tube 42 protruding with an appropriate length to the left or right and inserting the protrusion 421 into any one of the grooves 412.

On the other hand, if the inner tube 42 is rotated in the opposite direction and the protrusion 421 is detached from the branch groove 412, the protrusion length of the inner tube 42 and the pedestal 111 can be adjusted again.

The height of the pollen T entering the cultivation block 10 can be adjusted through the pedestal 40 thus operated. In other words, even if a variety of flower pots are used, the plant pots can be exposed to the outside by fully protruding the flower pots, have.

Referring again to FIG. 2 (a), the protruding length of the support plate 43 can be adjusted to control the depth of the pollen T which is immersed in water. In other words, the receiving portion 40 can be used to vary the water supply amount according to the characteristics of individual plants.

In connecting the two cultivation blocks arranged horizontally at the same height, at least one connecting member (C-shaped connecting member or four-shaped connecting member) in which the cylindrical columns are arranged in parallel is used, And it is possible to increase the binding force between the cultivation blocks. Further, the horizontal movement of the water through the connecting member becomes possible, so that the number of pumps used for water supply can be minimized.
