This invention is invention regarding a vegetation board | substrate, specifically, a vegetation board | substrate whose main objective is to cure moss plants, and its use for a wall surface, etc.

In recent years, global-level warming has become a problem due to emissions of so-called greenhouse gases caused by excess carbon dioxide.

As a solution to the warming problem, introduction of clean energy, improvement of energy consumption efficiency, saving of energy consumption itself, and the like are considered, but greening of urban areas is also considered to be a very effective measure.

As the greening system of the urban area, roof greening and wall greening are typical. Moreover, although various plant species which are the main agents of greening have been examined, among them, moss plants are attracting attention as extremely promising plants because they are easy to manage and the cost per unit area is low.

When wall greening is carried out using moss plants as greening materials, there is a problem in that moisture is biased in the lower region of the wall surface, and it is difficult to moisten uniform curing on the entire wall surface in the long term.

The present inventors have studied to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, a dry moss layer is provided to the substrate to fix the moss plant on the reticular body to maintain good ventilation, and the moisture is continuously passed through the dry moss layer. By supplying uniformly, it discovered that the said subject could be solved.

That is, this invention provides the vegetation board | substrate (henceforth this board | substrate) characterized by the dry-water moss being laminated | stacked and fixed to the flat-shaped network in which the moss plant was fixed, over one wide planar whole surface of the said network. The method of using a vegetation substrate, characterized in that the lichen plant fixed to the reticulum is cured while the dry moss laminated and fixed on the substrate is brought into contact with water, while the water is infiltrated into the entire dry moss. (Hereinafter also referred to as this method of use).

In the flat network of the substrate, the size (eye) of the mesh constituting the network is about 3 mm to 2 cm, and usually about 5 mm to 1 cm. Further, the opening ratio of the surface of the network is preferably about 60 to 98%, and more preferably about 80 to 95%. The thickness of the network is about 5 mm to 4 cm and usually about 1 cm to 2 cm. In addition, the raw material of the network is not particularly limited, such as plastic, rubber, metal, etc., but it is very suitable that the material is easy to bend and is excellent in durability over time. In view of such a point, a metal excellent in durability, such as plastic and stainless steel, is illustrated as a very suitable material which comprises a reticular body. Generally, the network body used for uses, such as soft ground stability etc. which are known as "anchor mat", can be diverted to this invention.

The moss plant fixed to the said board | substrate is not specifically limited, It is also possible to use the moss plant native to nature, as it is, and to use the moss plant obtained by the cultivation method. In addition, it is also possible to use "cultivated moss" using the so-called culture method (for example, "plant biotechnology II", Tokyo Chemical Co., Ltd .: modern chemistry, extraordinary page 39, "cultivation of congenital currents" (Onozor), etc.). Although possible, it is usually preferable to use moss plants obtained by the cultivation method.

The moss plant obtained by the usual cultivation method can be used for the cultivated moss plant, but it is preferable to use the moss plant fragment group which can be obtained by the following method especially about this invention.

That is, cultivation of a moss plant which cuts in the vicinity of the colony of the moss which grew and uses the cut moss plant fragment as a harvest, continues to cure the colony of the moss plant cut | disconnected, and performs the said curing and harvesting cycle. About the method, the group of fragments of the moss plant can be applied to the present invention.

Here, the colony of moss plant which grows artificial base which fixed moss plant even if colony of moss plant which grew in colony of natural moss plant is connected to colony of moss plant which can be obtained by normal palette cultivation It's okay. The colony of the moss plant may be cured in the state of a flat installation frame, or may be cured on a wall or a normal surface. As for the time when the above-mentioned cutting | disconnection is performed, the time point when the growing mossy plant reached about 23 cm in general is very suitable. The cutting of the vicinity of the colony of a moss plant can be performed using the various cutting mechanisms, for example, scissors, a barrican, a thunder, etc. of the upper part (green-green part) of the colony of a moss plant. Moreover, by touching the upper part of the colony of a mossy plant with a broom, a brush, etc., the vicinity of the government of a mossy plant is easily cut | disconnected, and the target moss plant fragment can be obtained.

Subsequent to the cutting process mentioned above, the fragment of the moss plant obtained by cutting | disconnection is used as a "harvest crop" as a moss plant as a basis. In addition, the colony of the moss plant after being cut can continue to cure and grow the moss plant again. By performing the cutting process again with respect to the colony of the regenerated moss plant, a fragment group of the moss plant can be obtained again. By performing this curing and harvesting cycle, moss plants can be efficiently obtained as "crops".

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, this invention is demonstrated using drawing.

[About this board]

1 is a view showing one embodiment of the manufacturing process of the present substrate.

This board | substrate can be manufactured based on a planar network. FIG. 1 (1) is a diagram showing a state in which the moss plant 12 is fixed to a predetermined portion of the plate-shaped network 11. The flat mesh 11 has a substantially constant thickness h, while the wide plane (both sides) 111 has a wide portion 111 a and a narrow portion 111 b. have. As described later, the wide portion 111 a is a portion where the moss plant 12 is fixed, and the narrow portion 111 b is a portion where the moss plant 12 is not fixed. Such a shape is very suitable in consideration of the rearing efficiency of the dry moss to be described later. However, the shape is not limited thereto, and for example, such a different width portion may not be provided and a plurality of portions corresponding to the narrow portion may be provided. It is possible to make the shape of the entire reticle 11 different from the example shown here, such as to form a single step portion and to further narrow the width (to be described later). The moss plant 12 can be fixed in the network by pushing the inside of the wide part 111 a of the network 11. The pushing method is not particularly limited. For example, the pushing method can be pushed with a hand, a hand, or the like, but it is very suitable to use hydraulic pressure or wind pressure. Specifically, by mounting the moss plant 12 on the fixed part of the moss plant of the reticular body (in this example, the wide part 111 a), and catching the water pressure of the jet stream and the wind pressure 13 from the compressor therefrom, By such a pressure, the moss plant 12 can be efficiently pushed and fixed inside the network 11. The density which fixes the moss plant 12 is not specifically limited, but about 12 moss plants / 10 cm <^2> . The above jet stream can be sufficiently used in the present invention even if the jet stream is of a degree that can be obtained by attaching a commercially available jet nozzle to a domestic water supply hose.

FIG. 1 (2) is a step of FIG. 1 (1), which is a first step of an example of stacking and fixing dry moss over one large flat front surface of the reticular body 11 'having the moss plant 12 fixed therein. Indicates. That is, dry moss immersed in water is dehydrated to the extent that the water does not fall (hand squeezing), and evenly disposed only one side of the wide plane of the reticular body 11 'in front, and the dry moss layer ( 14) is a process for manufacturing. It is necessary for such arrangement and the dry moss to be in contact with each other without a gap as a whole in order to uniformly infiltrate water on the entire surface if the dry moss is moist, but as long as this condition is satisfied, the thickness of the dry moss layer is small. It is economical.

The manufacturing of the dry moss layer 14 is performed by pushing the dry moss disposed on the reticular body 11 'using, for example, a hand or eddle into the reticular body. It is possible. In addition, by flowing the water flow from above the dried moss moss, specifically, by flowing the water flow that can be obtained from the water pressure source of the household water supply degree through the shower nozzle, very suitably, The dried moss layer 14 can be efficiently pushed into the inside of the network body 11 ', and the desired dry moss layer 14 can be manufactured.

1 (3) has shown the intermediate process of the example of lamination and fixation of said dry moss. 1 (4) is a longitudinal section which looked at AA 'of the board | substrate pre10 of the state in which the said intermediate process was completed as a cut surface, The said intermediate process is further from the dry moss arrange | positioned on the network body about the first process of the former. It is a process of laminating plate-shaped objects. It is very suitable for the plate-shaped body to exhibit the ordering function with respect to the present substrate, and the material of the plate-shaped body is very suitable to have a property of permeating water. Moreover, it is more suitable that it is a material which is hard to corrode over time. Specifically, plastics, rubber, plywood, corrosion resistant metals, etc. are mentioned. In addition, in one example, the plate-like body 15 is manufactured by adhering the same network-like body 152 with the network-like body 11 to one surface of the plate material 151, and the side of the network-like body 152 is a dry moss layer ( 14), it is possible to provide a concave-convex structure on the surface in contact with the dry moss layer 14 of the plate-like body 15 in this manner. In this process diagram, the plate-like body 15 is pressed against the dry moss layer 14 provided on the network 11 '(in the direction of the arrow press) and pushed into the mesh 11 of both networks. And the dry moss constituting the dry moss layer 14 are engaged with each other. Most of the moss plants 12 fixed to the inside of the reticular body 11 'and the dry moss layer 14 contact by the said pushing process, and the dry moss layer 14 is used by using this board | substrate mentioned later. Moisture is continuously supplied through the moss to continuously grow the moss plant (12). The mossy plant 12 is also in a state where the dry moss layer 14 is not in contact with the dry moss layer. The moss plant 12 continues to grow because the air humidity in the vicinity is high. It is a suitable environment.

1 (5) has shown the subsequent process of the lamination and fixation example of said dry moss. This step is a step of completing each of the elements constituting the substrate pre10 made by the above intermediate step more firmly to complete the present substrate 10 (FIG. 2). In this example, a fixing device known as a "C ring" is used for the entire surface of the substrate along the edge of the substrate pre10. The fixing means by the ring-shaped member 161 using the female fixing device 16 includes the elements constituting the substrate pre10, specifically, the reticular body 11 'on which the moss plant 12 is fixed, and dry moss. Each of these elements is firmly bonded to the layer 14 and the plate-like body 15. The C-ring used in this example is an example, and other fixing methods, for example, sewing, stapler, screw fixing, etc. can be performed.

FIG. 2 has shown the figure of this board | substrate manufactured by the process of FIG. 2 (1) is an illustration of the substrate 10 of the example shown in FIG. The board | substrate 10 is comprised from the fixing part 101 of moss plants, and the non-fixing part 102 of moss plants, The fixing part 101 of moss plants is the moss plant 12 fixed to the network 11 ) Is exposed toward the substrate surface 10a, while the dry moss layer 14 laminated and fixed to the bottom surface of the same substrate is in contact. Remarks 102 of the moss plant are structurally the same as the fixing part 101 of the moss plant, except that the moss plant 12 is not fixed. The non-fixing part 102 of the moss plant becomes a contact part with water, such as a water tank, in the use of this board | substrate 10, and this water infiltrates the dry moss layer 14 whole toward the fixed part 101 of a moss plant. And the moss plant 12 is continuously supplied by direct contact or indirect rise of air humidity. Moreover, since the moss plant 12 is exposed to the surface of a board | substrate, photosynthesis by sunlight can fully be performed.

Fig. 2 (2) shows a non-stationary shape 102 of the moss plant 100, and Fig. 2 (3) shows a shape where the same non-security part 102 " 100 μs), both of which are common in that such non-fixed parts can be brought into contact with water and the water can be evenly infiltrated into the dry moss layer, so long as these conditions are satisfied. In addition to the shape of, the shape of the entire substrate is also not limited.

[About use method of this board]

As described above, the present substrate can be used by contacting the dry moss layer with water, and performing curing of the moss plant fixed to the network while infiltrating water into the entire dry moss. This usage method assumes inclined surface greening, such as a wall surface or a normal surface especially. The dry moss layer is brought into contact with water by contacting the water stored in the reservoir provided in the protruding structure having the opening facing upwards of the gradient surface with the dry moss located at the corresponding end of the present substrate inserted at one end. Is very suitable. The non-fixed part of the moss plant of the present substrate corresponds to one end of the present substrate to be brought into contact with water.

3 illustrates the shape of the reservoir. 3 (1) is a complete view of the reservoir. The reservoir 20 is composed of a plurality of reservoir units 201 that protrude from the wall surface 22. A watering pipe 21 is further provided above the water storage unit 201A located at the top of the wall surface, and is set so that water can be supplied to the water storage unit 201A as necessary. When water is collected up to a predetermined level of the storage unit 201A, the excess water is discharged from a drain hole (not shown), or the storage unit provided above the storage unit 201A stage and provided below it ( 201 B) is to be stored. This is, for example, the shape of the interior of the storage units 201 A and 201 B has a wide opening in the upper part, the width of the bottom part in the lower part becomes narrow, and the water overflowed from the interior of the storage unit 201 A to the outside, or discharged. It can be realized by designing the opening of the water storage unit 201B to be located at the point where the water is dropped. The reservoir 20 is further designed from the storage unit 201B to 201C as if the water is moved and stored as described above. In this way, water is sequentially stored from the upper storage unit 201A to the lower storage unit 201F. The water stored in the reservoir 20 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, tap water or rain water.

3 (2) shows an example of installing individual storage units on the wall surface. The water storage unit 201 is fixed to the wall surface 22 and provided. The general method is not particularly limited, and the screw stop is not particularly limited, such as anchor fixing 2012.

FIG.4 (1) is a figure of the water storage tank 20 which attached this board | substrate, and FIG.4 (2) is the longitudinal cross-sectional view BB '. Each storage unit 201 and A201E are filled with a required amount of water 23. As described above, since the water 23 is designed such that an excess amount moves sequentially from the top toward the bottom storage unit, the water 23 is supplied only to the top storage unit 201A, thereby providing a water tank ( 20) The required amount of water can be supplied to the whole. For example, among the substrates 10A to 10E, 10D has one end inserted into the water storage unit 201D and is in contact with the water 23D therein. As described above, it is very suitable that the contact point is the non-fixed part 102D of the moss plant. And the fixed part 101D of a moss plant exposes the front surface 201C1 which comprises the surface 101D1 which the moss plant was exposed to from the upper side of the water storage unit 201D, and comprises the protrusion surface of the water storage unit 201C. It is becoming. The fixing part 101D of the moss plant is fixed and fixed as if covering the entire surface of the front plate 201 C1. The fixing and fixing means is not particularly limited, and screw fixing through the screw stopping hole described above, fixing with an adhesive, and the like can be performed. This is carried out as between the storage units 201 C and 201 B and between 201 B and 201 A. In addition, this example is fixing and fixing by the screw 24 between the moss plant fixing part and the front plate of the present substrate. In this way, the front surface of the water storage tank 20 is comprised as a state covered with the moss plant holding part of this board | substrate. The water which contacts the dry moss layer of this board | substrate in each water storage unit infiltrates into the whole dry moss layer evenly by the positive power of this dry moss. Thereby, the water of a reservoir is continuously supplied to the moss plant fixed to this board | substrate, and curing of moss plant can be stably performed also on a wall surface.

In addition, as shown in the longitudinal cross-sectional view of FIG. 4 (3) from the same point in time as FIG. 4 (2), the surface of the front plate constituting the water storage unit is formed of the steel surface 201 by plastic, sponge, concrete, mortar, glass, or the like. C2) etc. can be formed and the three-dimensional effect of the exposed part of the mossy plant holding part of this board | substrate can also be emphasized.

As described above, in the present invention, one end of the remarkable part of the moss plant of the substrate is inserted into the lower reservoir by pairing two reservoirs provided in the upper and lower portions of the gradient surface, and the water and one end of the place. Moss fixed to the substrate in a state in which dry moss of the skin is in contact with each other, and the other end of the substrate is disposed so as to overlap with one part or all of the front surface of the protruding structure forming the upper reservoir. It becomes possible to perform the curing of a plant.

Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of a projection viewed from the transverse side as a diagram illustrating another example of the use of the present substrate. In Fig. 5, the front plate 301 A1C1 is a shape that extends to the inside of the lower water storage unit 301 B and is fixed to and fixed to the surface of the front plate with the substrate 10＇AC in the exposed side of the moss plant facing up.

By taking such a shape, the space near the opening of the water storage unit becomes empty, and in this part, for example, the reticular body 301 B2 is provided in parallel with the water surface in the water storage unit, and dry moss thereon, for example, A part is arranged in the state which provided a drooping part to the inside of the storage unit 301 BC (301B3C3), and furthermore, in this dry moss 301 B3C3 by planting the moss plant and other plants 301 B4C4 mentioned above in this dry moss part 301 Among the water 301 A5C5 stored in the water storage unit 301 AC, 301 B5C5 is continuously supplied, and it is also possible to perform greening in the vicinity of the opening outside the exposed portion of the present substrate.

6 is a diagram illustrating another new shape of the present substrate. Fig. 6 (1) is a view showing a water storage unit made of soft plastic (vinyl chloride or the like). The storage unit 401 is a flexible substrate having a pocket structure 4012 capable of storing water having an opening portion 4011. This substrate is used as one unit, for example, so that a plurality of units 401 AFs do not leak from each other's joints on a complex curved wall shown in Fig. 6 (2) (the cross-sectional view of the inclined plane 41). By connecting and fixing a suture, the whole wall can be made into the reservoir 40. As in the above example, by supplying water to the reservoir pocket 4012 A of the uppermost reservoir unit 401 A constituting the reservoir, the water can be stored in the reservoir pocket 4012 BF fixedly fixed to the lower portion in turn. . In such a storage pocket, a complex curved surface is inserted by inserting a moss plant remarkable part of the present substrate 10＇＇A-F, and attaching a moss plant fixing part to each of the upper storage pocket surfaces with the moss plant exposed surface as the outer surface. It becomes possible to provide the greening surface covered by the moss plant which can grow continuously.

In this example of the present invention, the moss plant can be continuously supplied to the wall surface or the like, and the greening can be carried out with a good product ratio even in the wall environment. Moreover, since this board | substrate is easy to attach or detach, it has the characteristic also that the inspection of a greening wall surface becomes easy.
