Description

{Vertical Typed Apparatus For Cultivating Plant}

The present invention relates to a plant cultivation apparatus and a method of constructing a vertical garden, and more particularly, to a plant cultivation apparatus and a method of constructing a vertical garden which constitute a vertical garden and which are suitable for the physiology and ecology of each plant And to an effective vertical plant cultivation apparatus.

Recently, as well as Korea, the world has been making various attempts to apply and cultivate plants on artificial walls. Previously, simply vine plants had been the concept of simple wall-painting with some attached vines by means of wall-climbing, recent wall-paintings have developed into a form that applies a wide variety of plants directly to the walls, The term 'vertical garden' is applied to the design concept of 'garden'.

Various attempts have been made to apply plants directly to the walls. In particular, Petrol Blanc, a representative of Europe, attaches a double nonwoven fabric to a building wall and applies a variety of plants by making holes. The company G-sky in North America modifies plastics to apply plants after wall attachment And the plant in the United States of America, the nonwoven fabric pocket is formed by forming a vertical garden.

The method of forming such a vertical garden is the same as the basic system consisting of a device or structure or module for planting a vertical wall surface, a device for fixing the soil and the plant, and a device for periodically supplying water.

However, based on this basic idea, ecological and environmentally customized systems suitable for various plants, which are among the various methods of constructing the vertical garden, have almost disadvantages. Therefore, a vertical garden composed of plants of one kind or similar nature is not uncommon, but there are limitations in applying various plants to various flowers, shrubs, or trees, as in the plain plain.

The reason for this is that soil and water must be artificially supplied to the vertical walls. Until now, it has been a general system that soil and water are applied as one or the same.

For example, when water is supplied to a vertical wall of a certain area, it can not meet various water demands of various plants, and the acidity and the breathability of the soil in which the plant is rooted and supported can be adjusted to the ecological characteristics of each plant It is natural that it can not be given. In order to fix the soil and plants on the wall, it is natural that the roots of the plants can not grow down to the bottom of the soil like the original shape because a film like shelf structure constituting a certain layer can not be formed.

In addition, the name of the mural painting (Patent No. 10-0807285) designed and invented by the present inventor is a sponge-type block made of soil and fiber mixed to allow the roots of the plant to freely grow down, It is the only product in Korea that is installed for more than 5 years. However, this mural does not meet the water requirements, soil pH, and nutrient requirements of each plant that is being planted, so that some plants will die out over time, and in order to correct them, the sponge-like solidified vegetation base There was a disadvantage to do.

The vertical plant cultivation apparatus according to the present invention may be installed on an outer wall, an inner wall, or a wall of a building.

The vertical plant cultivation apparatus according to the present invention comprises a support frame body 20, support frame body installation means 10 and 10 'for installing the support frame body 20, a seating sheet 30 seated on the support frame body 20, A growth base member 40 to be filled in the seating sheet 30, and watering means for supplying water.

The support frame body 20 is formed in a net shape by connecting a plurality of parallel transverse bars 21 and a plurality of parallel vertical bars 22 perpendicularly connected and fixed. The support frame body 20 may be used as it is, or may be manufactured separately, as is known in the art. The support frame body 20 may be injection molded using a synthetic resin, or may be manufactured by welding metal wires.

The support frame body mounting means 10, 10 'refers to various facilities or means for fixing the support frame body upright relative to the ground. The support frame 20 provides a plurality of rectangular spaces S arranged longitudinally and laterally.

The seating sheet 30 having a width larger than the width W of one space S is installed in one row partitioned longitudinally by the longitudinal bar. That is, the seating sheet 30 is installed for each row, and is seated so as to be continuously inserted in several spaces S constituting one row, and the edges are superimposed on each other. The seating sheet 30 is provided in the form of a roll, in the form of a woven fabric, a felt or a nonwoven fabric. The seating sheet 30 is seated on the transverse bar 21 of the supporting frame body in a wavy pattern, that is, when seen from the side, in the form of a J or U and is fitted and formed to form the vegetation bag 31. [ The vegetation bag 31 provides a planting space M. The seating sheet 10 is preferably a felt or nonwoven fabric so that water is uniformly diffused by the capillary action to be supplied to the plant F. [

The number of the seating sheets 30 equal to the number of the spaces S provided transversely to the supporting frame body 20 is seated on the supporting frame body 20. It is preferable that the adjacent seating sheets 30 overlap each other by about 10 to 50 mm. Both edges 34 and 35 of the seat sheet will have openings, and these edges 34 and 35 may be sealed by sewing or the like.

The vegetation bag 31 is formed simply by folding and segregating the seating sheet 30 in a wavy shape without requiring sewing, bonding or other fixing means. However, plants or nonwoven fabrics are smaller or very thin and softer than those of meshes, they must be easily sagged or loosened and must be applied by gluing or other fixing methods, but the present invention makes it possible to easily construct them in the field without involving such efforts and costs.

A method for fixing the seating sheet 30 to the transverse bar 21 may be adopted in order to prevent the seating sheet 30 seated on the transverse bar 21 from flowing. An adhesive or a fixing pin may be used and sewing 32 may be performed.

4 shows that the seating sheet 30 is provided only in one row. 1 and 2, a plurality of vegetation pouches 31 arranged longitudinally and laterally are provided by seating the seating sheet 30 in the remaining space S in this manner. The size of the vegetation bag 31 and the like will be adjusted according to circumstances such as which plant is to be planted.

On the other hand, the roots can grow naturally through the gap between the overlapping portions between the seating sheets 30, and a separate space for passing the roots is not required.

A growth-based member (40) for providing soil for plants is placed in each vegetation bag (31) provided with a seat sheet. The growth-based member 40 may be a scalp 41 (see FIG. 8) consisting of an envelope and soil surrounded by the envelope. Further, according to the plant species to be cultivated, a squirrel (41) made of soil of another ingredient is used. In other words, different clusters 41 having the soil composition suitable for the physiology and ecology of the plant applied to each vegetation bag 31 are put into the plant. The soil may be composed of peat moss, pearlite, compost, fertilizer, sand, mahogany, clay, etc. depending on the crop, and the clusters may be made of different colors depending on the composition of the soil Can be provided. The volume of the squat 41 may be, for example, 50 to 200 ml. The clusters 41 containing the soil of different components may be mixed into one vegetation bag 31 according to the characteristics of plants, or may be put into only one species.

The soil is described in more detail as follows.

For example, azaleas like acid are first wrapped in rhizosphere roots in a nonwoven vegetation bag, then covered with a standard soil cover, wrapped around the roots, and a mess of acidic soil, . Alkaline soils and well-deserted boxwoods are packed in standard, separately packaged roots and filled with alkaline soils and well-drained magma soil. In this case, when water is given to plants that like water, the soil that absorbs the water will have a lot of water, and the soil of plants that do not like water will drain the water quickly. Soil acidity is based on the basic properties of each soil. And when the standard soil is watered, it swells up more than three times and catches the roots. The nutrients are packed in another carton, and plants that demand a lot of fertilizer frequently and plants that require less fertilizer sometimes give it slowly. These capsules are all different colors and are easy to work with. The use of such a squirrel makes it safer for the soil to fall on the ground during work and become dirty or worms.

The watering means supplies water to the seating sheet so that water is diffused and supplied to the soil. The irrigation means may include a water supply pipe 50 installed at the upper end of the seating sheet 30 in the lateral direction and a plurality of nozzle holes 51 provided along the extending direction of the water supply pipe 50. In particular, the water supply pipe 50 can be installed in a tunnel provided by fixing the upper end of the seating sheet 30 by being rounded as shown in an enlarged view of FIG. Water sprayed from the nozzle hole 51 is uniformly diffused by the capillary phenomenon and supplied to each vegetation bag 31, and the remaining amount thereof flows downward. The water supply unit 52 supplies water to the water supply pipe 50 automatically or manually.

A water support 60 having a U-shaped or J-shaped cross-sectional shape may be fixedly installed at the lower end of the seating sheet 30 to receive water from the upper side. The water pedestal 60 may be used to store falling water, but it may also serve to guide the water to one side due to a gradient.

The support frame body mounting means 10 and 10 'are provided to mount the seat seat 30 upright perpendicularly to the ground, or fix it on the outer wall surface of the building.

The supporting frame body mounting means illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 is constituted by a stand-alone mounting stand 10 for allowing the supporting frame body 20 to stand upright on the ground so as to incline at an angle of 70 to 90 degrees with respect to the ground like a newspaper board do. The free standing mounting table 10 may include a vertical column 11, a pedestal 12, an upper transverse frame 14 and an intermediate support 13. The support frame 20 is detachably seated on the self-supporting stand 10. The pedestal (12) or the vertical column (11) can be fixed to the ground by an anchor means or the like.

Another example of the support frame mounting means is shown in Fig. According to the present embodiment, a method of fixing to a wall of a building is proposed. The supporting frame body mounting means comprises a wall frame 10 'fixed to the upper and lower ends of the supporting frame body 20 and a strut fixing frame 15 extending from the wall frame 10' in the backward direction. The strut mount 15 may have a bracket 18 for securing it to a wall surface. The bracket 18 may be provided with a fixing nail hole. The support 15 may be configured to allow the two pipes 16 and 17 to slide together to adjust the distance between the wall and the supporting frame 20.

As a result, the seating sheet 30 may be provided in various ways as a means for hanging it on various walls or standing upright on the ground.

5 to 6 are perspective views of a support frame 20, a self-supporting stand 10 and a wall stand 10 'according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the shape of the support means for hanging the seating sheet 30 in a corrugated manner can be variously suggested according to the installation environment and the demand of the user. FIG. 5 shows a supporting frame body 20 of a hexahedral structure type, and FIG. 6 shows a state of being fixed to a wall surface and protruding in three dimensions from a wall surface.

Hereinafter, another embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. According to this embodiment, the waterproof film 70 can be poured on the back surface of the supporting frame body 20. The waterproof 70 is for preventing the water supplied to the plant from flowing through the wall and contaminating the wall. According to the waterproof 70, the water can be introduced into the mess without being evaporated.

The waterproof 70 may be fixed to the back surface of the support frame 20 and may be continuously installed so that the upper part thereof is on the upper surface of the lower part as shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, the vegetation method will be described.

When plants (F) are planted, they are firstly wrapped with a bag (41) such as a non-woven bag or a mosquito net, which can wrap the plant roots and have the minimum soil and plant roots originally possessed by the root of the plant. (See FIG. 8). In order to secure the plants securely inside the vegetation pouch and improve the growth, generally, each vegetation bag is filled with soil.

To supply different soil types according to the characteristics of the plant (F), soil acidity (acidic, neutral, alkaline) and water retention for water-loving plants and dry-loving plants, Prepare the squirrels containing these different soils and fertilizers. The squid can be displayed in different colors for each ingredient. Squids can be nonwoven or netted bags that can be routed.

When each plant is fixed around its roots using the desired scales so that each plant prepared in the vegetation bag is not moved and moved, each soil will be able to supply the soil acidity, moisture and nutrients preferred by each plant. By displaying these squares in color and dividing the various plants into groups, it is possible to supply the squid simply during installation.

According to the present invention, plants have plants that like or dislike water, and plants that like acidic soil, alkali soil, and neutral soil, respectively. When the soil is contained in a nonwoven fabric pan, the PH star (coco peat is acidic, Pearlite is acidic, volcanic stone is alkaline, etc.), and water-dropping characteristics (such as masato, loess, etc.) So that the plants can grow smoothly even if irrigation is made in the same amount from the upper part. (Eg azalea - acid soil, boxwood, juniper - alkaline soil, royal kernels, autumn leaves - like water, hate juniper trees, dolomite - water and mostly neutral soil)

The above description is only an example based on the technical idea of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. For example, all embodiments described above may be freely combined and practiced by those skilled in the art, and any combination thereof should be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention.
