Although not shown in the drawing, a typical timer is connected to a controller (not shown) to control the operating time of the above-mentioned circulating water pump 90, and is formed on one side of the inside of the water storage tank 100 and includes a water storage tank 100. ) may include a conventional filter unit for purifying the water stored in the water.

Hereinafter, an indoor vertical wall landscaping device capable of variably adjusting the growth environment according to an embodiment of the present specification will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the indoor vertical wall landscaping device with an indoor air purifying function is used in public buildings (e.g., government offices, department stores, schools, etc.) where an unspecified number of people enter, or commercial buildings (e.g., government offices, department stores, schools, etc.) For example, it is installed on an indoor wall of a coffee shop, etc., and is not meant to be limited to this, and is limited to ordinary ornamental plants (for example, orchids, stem plants, or aquatic plants, etc.), etc. does not mean) can be placed.

The water stored in the above-mentioned water storage tank 100 is discharged by driving the circulation pump 90 by a control signal applied from the controller and flows upward along the second circulating water transfer pipe 160A in communication with the circulation pump 90. After passing through the second opening/closing valve (190A) installed on the middle side of the second circulating water moving pipe (160A), a plurality of water formed in a vertical direction to the water supply pipe (20) installed laterally on the upper part of the frame (10). It is discharged by two nozzles and falls in the form of water droplets on the back side of the moisture absorption member 40.

That is, when the indoor temperature where the landscaping device is installed is a certain temperature (for example, a dry state of 20°C or lower), such as in spring, fall or winter, it is discharged from the circulation pump 90 and flows through the second circulating water transfer pipe ( Since it is supplied to the water supply pipe 20 through the second on/off valve 190A installed on the middle side of the water supply pipe 20 (160A), the water droplets dripping through the nozzle of the water supply pipe 20 by drip irrigation are on the water absorption member 40. Since it flows down along the back surface, it is absorbed by the second plant group 80 including mosses or succulents settled on the surface of the moisture absorbing member 40.

At this time, the water in the water storage tank 100 is supplied to the drain 30 through the first circulating water movement pipe 160 and the first opening/closing valve 190 and moves to the water storage tank 100 along the passage 150. As this is repeated, the roots of plants such as orchids and bean orchids planted in the pot 60 can absorb the first plant group 220 mounted in the passage 150 of the drainage channel 30.

On the other hand, when the indoor temperature where the landscaping device is installed is an arbitrary temperature (for example, a high temperature and humidity environment of 20°C or higher), such as in summer, the water is discharged from the circulation pump 90 and flows into the second circulating water transfer pipe 160A. The supply to the water supply pipe 20 through the second on/off valve (190A) installed on the middle side is blocked (as an example, the second on/off valve (190A) consisting of a solenoid valve is switched to the closed state).

At this time, the water in the water storage tank 100 is supplied to the drain 30 through the first circulating water movement pipe 160 and the first opening/closing valve 190 and moves to the water storage tank 100 along the passage 150. As this is repeated, the roots of plants planted in the pot 60 can absorb the first plant group 220 mounted on the passage 150 of the drainage channel 30.

As described above, the circulating water (water) supplied to plants mounted on the indoor wall landscaping device can be managed by dividing it according to the season.

That is, when the indoor temperature is below 20℃ (dry state), such as in spring, fall, and winter, the water storage tank (100) - circulation pump (90) - second on-off valve (190A) - second circulating water transfer pipe ( 160A) - After being supplied to the water supply pipe 20, the water passes through a nozzle formed in the vertical direction and falls.

Therefore, the circulating water flowing down the back surface of the moisture absorption member 40 can be supplied as moisture to mosses, succulents, etc. mounted as the second plant group 80 in the upper area based on the drainage channel 30.

On the other hand, when the indoor temperature is 20℃ or higher and the environment is humid, such as in summer (referring to the summer season), the water storage tank (100) - circulation pump (90) - second on-off valve (190A) - second circulating water. Moving pipe (160A) - By blocking the supply of mosses, etc. to the second plant group (80) through the nozzle of the water supply pipe (20) (as an example, the second opening/closing valve (190A) consisting of a solenoid valve is closed. converted to), it is possible to prevent the death of lichens due to mold growth, etc., which occurs as moisture is supplied to lichens or succulents through the nozzle of the water supply pipe 20 in a high temperature and humidity environment.

Circulating water flowing into the pot 60 absorbs water by the impregnation 130 filled on the orchid layer 120 filled in the pot 60. Since the circulating water is absorbed and remains in the soil layer 140 laminated on the conception 130 (that is, the soil layer 140 absorbs moisture and maintains a moist state at all times, the planted aquatic plant 50 is prevented from drying out and dying. It is possible to prevent this), and it is possible to supply the necessary water to the roots of the first plant group 220 including succulents so that soybean orchids, succulents, etc. planted in the soil layer 140 can grow.

Some of the circulating water that flows into the pot 60 through the through hole 60a on the bottom of the pot 60 described above can maintain moisture in the pot 60 by the soil layer 140 and the impregnation 130.

As described above, after water falls from the discharge port of the water supply pipe 20, a portion of the circulating water flowing along the surface of the S-shaped drainage channel 30 flows into the flowerpot 60 and causes the third plant group 50 to grow. Since it serves as a water supply necessary for plant growth, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience of regularly watering plants to prevent them from drying out and dying.

Meanwhile, as the above-described circulation pump 90 is driven, the water (circulating water) flowing down the drain 30 performs the function of purifying indoor air. In other words, dust or fine dust generated indoors can be removed through sedimentation, or indoor components harmful to the human body, such as formaldehyde, can be removed by adsorbing together.

Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawing, the water in the water storage tank 100 and the water storage tank 100 are moved to the drainage channel 30 through the first and second circulating water transfer pipes 160 and 160A due to the driving of the circulation pump 90. And avoid supplying it to the water supply pipe 20, but connect the first and second circulating water transfer pipes (160, 160A) to the water pipe (not shown) to supply circulating water (water) to the drainage channel 30 and the water supply pipe 20. Of course, it can be configured to supply directly.

As a result, the work efficiency of construction is improved by reducing the number of relevant parts, and repair work becomes unnecessary when the circulation pump 90 in the water storage tank 100 breaks down, which has the advantage of facilitating post-management.

Although the above-described specification has been described with reference to preferred technical ideas as examples, those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications and other equivalent embodiments without departing from the essential characteristics of the specification.

Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in this specification are not intended to limit the technical idea, but are for explanation, and the scope of protection of the specification should be interpreted in accordance with the technical idea of the claims, and all technical ideas within the equivalent scope are subject to the rights of this specification. It should be interpreted as being included in the scope.
