The block body 410 is provided with a plurality of sliding holes 411 through which the plant roots are set, and plants such as grass are planted through the sliding holes 411. At this time, the material of the block body 410 may be high density polyethylene (HDPE), but is not limited thereto.

On the other hand, in order to increase the bending rigidity of the block body 410, the border of the block body 410 may be formed thicker than the inside. For example, the rim of the block body 410 may be in the form of a reinforcement band thicker than the inside.

Meanwhile, the sliding hole 411 is not limited to the circular shape shown in the drawing, and may be implemented in various shapes such as a square and an octagon. For example, the block body 410 is implemented in the form of a rectangular plate that can support and support the plant at the bottom, so that the root of the plant can be settled in the soil through a plurality of sliding holes 411 penetrating up and down.

The plurality of growth point protection protrusions 420 are formed to protrude from the top of the block body 410 to protect the growth point of the plant. The growth point protection protrusion 420 prevents the growth point of the plant from being injured by a pressure (answer pressure) applied to the plant when a person steps on the plant such as grass planted on the block body 410.

For example, the growth point protection protrusion 420 may be formed to protrude upward from the block body 410 so as to be disposed between the sliding holes 411. At this time, the height of the growth point protection protrusion 420 is suitable to a height such that no pressure is applied to the growth point of the plant.

The growth point protection protrusion 420 is capable of various shapes (circular, angular, etc.) when viewed from the protection side of the growth point, but preferably, three or more protrusions are formed radially to secure the stiffness against soil pressure in various directions. It is good.

The protruding projection 420 of the radial structure also derives the effect of possible storage of rainwater. The growth point protection protrusion 420 may be configured to have a cross section with a larger bottom portion than the upper portion, considering that the bottom portion receives a greater load than the upper portion, and according to this structure, the planted plant is stably settled because the upper portion is sharper than the lower portion. You can.

It is preferable that the growth point protection protrusions 420 are uniformly formed at regular intervals with each other, and at this time, the growth point protection protrusions 420 are prevented from preventing the roots of the planted plant from spreading around. It may be implemented such that the root crawl induction portion 421 is formed.

The root crawl induction part 421 is intentionally secured a space so that the growth point protection protrusions 420 are not blocked, for example, the root crawl induction part 421 may be an empty space between the growth point protection protrusions 420. On the other hand, the gap between the growth point protection protrusions 420 may be such that the foot does not fall out.

A plurality of root protection protrusions 430 are formed protruding from the lower portion of the block body 410 to protect the roots of the plants. The root protection protrusion 430 prevents the root of the planted plant from being pressed even if a person steps on the vegetation block. For example, the root protection protrusion 430 may be implemented at the same position as the growth point protection protrusion 420 to increase the rigidity against the load.

On the other hand, the root protection protrusion 430 is preferably formed sharply while going to the bottom to increase the fixing ability to the ground. In addition, the root protection protrusion 430 may be implemented such that three or more protrusions are formed radially, such as the growth point protection protrusion 420, to secure the stiffness against soil pressure in various directions.

The reservoir 440 is formed around the sliding hole 411 of the block body 410 to store water that is supplied to the plants. For example, the reservoir 440 may be a concave space formed around the sliding hole 411 of the block body 410 and open toward the top. Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that the reservoir 440 is formed in a band shape along the circumference of the sliding hole 411.

The interlocking unit 450 is formed around the block body 410 and assembled with neighboring vegetation blocks. For example, a plurality of interlocking parts 450 are formed around the block body 410, and may be implemented in the form of protrusions having grooves formed in the vertical direction at the same time, but are not limited thereto. However, when the vegetation blocks are assembled with each other, it is preferable that the interlocking unit 450 is implemented to maintain the same line.

Meanwhile, according to an additional aspect of the present invention, the block body 410 may further include a fixing unit 419. The fixing unit 419 is inserted with a fixture (not shown in the drawing) for fixing the block body 410 with the water collecting block 100.

For example, the fixing unit 419 may be formed at the center and corner portions of the block body 410, and may be a plate shape through which the fixing hole 419a through which the fixture (not shown in the drawing) is inserted is vertically penetrated. The fixing hole 419a has an appropriate size through which the fixture can pass, and has a relatively small size compared to the attachment hole 411 for planting plant roots.

On the other hand, the fixing unit 419 may include at least one sliding hole 419b so that the roots of plants planted through the fixing unit 419 can be settled. For example, the sliding hole 419b may be formed radially around the fixing hole 419a.

The soil loss prevention hole 500 accommodates a plurality of vegetation blocks 400 and prevents soil loss in the vegetation blocks. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the soil loss prevention hole 500 is partitioned 510 to prevent soil loss in vegetation blocks, and bent inward from the bottom of the partition walls to support a part of the outer bottom of the vegetation block. It may include a bottom support 520.

At this time, the bottom support portion 520 may include a plurality of screw coupling grooves 521 for screwing the cover 121 of the upper body 120 of the water collecting block 100 with screws (not shown).
