Description

Artificial grass mat {ARTIFICIAL LAWN MAT}

Embodiment of the present invention relates to an artificial turf mat, and more particularly to an artificial turf mat capable of symbiosis with natural grass.

In general, natural turf has good contact and natural friendliness when stepped on by humans, whereas when the land where natural grass is planted is impacted (e.g., stepping hard with soccer shoes on a soccer field, In the case of hitting the grass with a golf club at the golf course), it is difficult to maintain the natural grass such as the ground is easily dug, the initial installation cost and maintenance costs are high.

Therefore, artificial turf which is inexpensive and easy to maintain is mainly used for sports fields (including soccer fields or baseball fields) or golf courses. Since artificial turf has a poor contact feeling compared to natural grass, it is used by filling rubber chips made by finely crushing sand or waste tires or waste rubber between artificial turf to improve the touch feeling of artificial turf. At this time, about 120 tons of rubber chips enter one artificial turf football field.

Such artificial turf is not environmentally friendly because 1) it uses rubber chips made by crushing waste tires or waste rubber, and 2) it is difficult to separate and remove sand or rubber chips filled between artificial turf. It is difficult to do, and 3) artificial grass mat is used to adhere to the ground of the playground or golf course using an adhesive, there is a disadvantage that the installation of artificial grass is cumbersome.

Therefore, as part of an effort to harness both the advantages of natural grass (for example, eco-friendliness) and the advantages of artificial grass (for example, cost reduction and easy maintenance), a technology for coexisting natural grass and artificial grass This has been proposed. Prior art literature on this has the following registered patents.

Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-1044653 (Notification Date: 2011.06.29) Looking at the patent document, the artificial turf of the patent document includes a bubble 1 braided into synthetic fibers and a synthetic fiber pile yarn 2 protruding upward from the bubble 1. Thus, the space part 3 is naturally formed in the bubble 1, and natural grass is planted in the space part 3 so that natural grass and artificial grass coexist. However, the artificial turf of the patent document is synthesized because the foam 1 itself is formed by braids of synthetic fibers are woven into a network structure, and the synthetic fiber pile yarn 2 is formed extending from the soft base foam 1. The fiber pile yarn 2 is not supported properly by the bubble 1. In this case, the synthetic fiber pile yarn 2 does not stand in the upper direction of the bubble 1 and sags laterally. Moreover, when a person steps on artificial grass, the synthetic fiber pile yarn 2 almost lies on the ground. In this case, since the synthetic fiber pile yarn 2 covers the space portion 3, the upper space of the space portion 3 on which the natural grass is formed cannot be secured, which adversely affects the growth of the natural grass, and the synthetic fiber pile When the yarn (2) is lying on its side, the natural grass will also lie together, which will shorten the life of the natural grass. In addition, the artificial turf of the patent document is installed by driving the bubble (1) to the playground using a pin (Pin), because the bubble (1) is formed by braids of synthetic fibers are woven tightly to the bubble (1) with a pin It is difficult to fix, and therefore, the artificial turf is easily heard when an impact occurs in the artificial turf. In this case, an injury to the athlete who is exercising in the playground with artificial turf may occur. For example, a soccer player may be injured by falling on artificial turf, and a golf player may swing a golf club while the golf club is caught on artificial grass, thereby causing a great shock to the body.

Embodiment of the present invention is to provide an artificial turf mat that can protect the natural grass while symbiosis between natural grass and artificial grass.

Embodiment of the present invention is to provide an artificial turf mat that can be firmly fixed to the floor surface is installed while making the natural grass and artificial grass symbiotic.

Artificial turf mat according to an embodiment of the present invention, the frame is formed artificial turf; And a space part formed at least inside the frame and in which natural grass is vegetated.

According to the embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to make the artificial grass and the natural grass symbiotic, thereby giving a nature-friendly nature to the playground or golf course where the artificial grass mat is installed, while reducing the installation cost and maintenance cost do. At this time, by forming a protective projection on the upper portion of the frame of the artificial turf mat, it is possible to prevent the artificial turf and natural grass is completely stepped on, and to provide a space for supplying air to the natural grass even if the natural grass is stepped on. . In addition, by forming a fixing projection in the lower portion of the frame of the artificial turf mat, the artificial turf mat can be firmly fixed to the ground of the playground, it is possible to prevent a safety accident.
