Description

Eco-friendly tree protection cover {Cover for protecting tree}

The present invention relates to an eco-friendly tree protection cover, and in particular, to an eco-friendly tree protection cover that uses tree-friendly soil as its main ingredient and is capable of supplying nutrients for tree growth.

In general, trees are planted on city streets and parks to improve the aesthetics of cities, and provide people with comfort and psychological stability through functions such as reducing air pollutants, purifying the air, absorbing solar heat, and providing shade. Tree protection covers are installed around these trees to prevent weeds and soil loss.

Typically, a protective cover is constructed so that the border frame (protection frame) and the cover plate (protection plate) are coupled to each other to prevent the occurrence of weeds and soil loss. However, when the tree's roots grow, the protective cover of this structure causes the border frame or cover plate to rise and create a ledge, which becomes an obstacle to walking and harms the aesthetics. In addition, there is no means to supply the nutrients necessary for the growth of trees, so when pests and diseases occur or moisture supply is not smooth, the trees no longer grow or die.

To solve this problem, the street tree protection device of Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-2103940 consists of a block support part that supports the sidewalk block on the street tree protection frame, so that when the frame is raised by the roots of the street tree, it rises together with the sidewalk block. , it is possible to prevent a step between the sidewalk block and the border frame from forming in advance, but there is a limitation in that it cannot prevent the entire protective cover (edge frame + cover plate) of the plate structure from rising.

And in Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0131053, a fertilizer receiving groove is formed in the protection plate through which the received fertilizer can be supplied toward the ground, and the technology is capable of supplying the nutrients necessary for the growth of trees without the operator having to apply fertilizer separately. Although this is disclosed, there are inconveniences such as having to install a net on the top of the fertilizer receiving groove to prevent the fertilizer from being blown away by the wind.

Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-2103940 ‘Street tree protection device’ Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0131053 ‘Tree protection cover’

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and provides an eco-friendly tree protection cover that can be easily installed and can supply nutrients for tree growth without being affected by environmental factors without causing the entire cover to rise due to the growth of the tree's roots. There is a purpose.

The present invention's eco-friendly tree protection cover for achieving the above object includes a soil structure whose main component is soil and has a three-dimensional shape; A nutrient structure containing a fertilizer component and having a three-dimensional shape, wherein the nutrient structure is disposed between a plurality of soil structures arranged to cover the vicinity of the base of the tree.

Additionally, the first joint may be fixed by a fixing pin driven into the ground.

Additionally, the nutrient structure disposed between the plurality of soil structures may be formed in a smaller size than the soil structure, and may be connected to each other by a second joint.

According to the present invention, as a nutrient structure containing fertilizer components is placed between a plurality of soil structures arranged to cover the vicinity of the base of the tree, it fills the gaps between the soil structures to prevent the occurrence of weeds and soil loss. In addition, since the fertilizer component is absorbed into the soil near the tree and supplied to the tree, it is possible to supply nutrients for the growth of the tree without being influenced by environmental factors such as wind.

And by using the first joint or/and the second joint, a plurality of soil structures or/and a plurality of nourishing structures can be easily installed to cover the area near the base of the tree, thereby improving the convenience and speed of work. In addition, the cover, which includes a plurality of soil structures connected by a first joint and a plurality of bisecting structures connected by a second joint, causes the cover to rise partially rather than the entire cover even when tree roots grow, causing pedestrians to trip over the ledge and fall. It can prevent damage to the sidewalk and prevent it from damaging the aesthetics of the sidewalk.

In the present invention, a soil structure with soil as the main ingredient and having a three-dimensional shape so that the entire cover does not rise due to the growth of the roots of the tree, supplies nutrients for the growth of the tree without being influenced by environmental factors, etc. and can be easily installed. ; A nutrient structure containing a fertilizer component and having a three-dimensional shape, wherein the nutrient structure is disposed between a plurality of soil structures arranged to cover the base of the tree, suggests an eco-friendly tree protection cover.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical gist of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the eco-friendly tree protection cover of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 1 to 5.

The eco-friendly tree protection cover of the present invention includes a soil structure 100 and a nutrient structure 300, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, and is placed on the ground near the base of the tree.

The soil structure 100 is formed to have a three-dimensional shape while containing soil components. For example, the soil structure 100 is preferably made of soil as its main ingredient, and may be formed to have various shapes such as a sphere, a hemisphere, or a polyhedron.

However, so that water can easily flow down along the surface of the soil structure 100, the soil structure 100 is preferably formed in a spherical or hemispherical shape. In particular, as shown in FIG. 1A, it is formed in a hemispherical shape so that it is in contact with the ground. It is more desirable to increase the friction force and ensure that it is stably supported on the ground.

The soil structure 100 may be formed to have a flat bottom, such as a hemisphere, and the fixing feet 110 may protrude downward. The fixing feet 110 are shaped like pins and are formed on the bottom of the soil structure 100 so that a plurality of them are spaced apart at a predetermined distance, so that the soil structure 100 can be stably fixed to the ground by being driven into the ground. there is.

The nutrient structure 300 is formed to have a three-dimensional shape while containing fertilizer ingredients. For example, the nutrient structure 300 may be formed by adding a fertilizer component to the same soil component as the soil structure 100, or may be composed of a fertilizer component as the main component. Additionally, the bisection structure 300 may be formed to have various shapes such as a sphere, a hemisphere, or a polyhedron.

However, so that water can easily flow down the surface of the nutrient structure 300, the nutrient structure 300 is preferably formed in a spherical or hemispherical shape, and the nutrient structure 300 is disposed between the soil structures 100. As it serves to fill the gap, it is preferably formed in a smaller size than the soil structure 100. In particular, as shown in Figure 1b, it is formed into a sphere smaller than the soil structure 100, effectively filling the gap between the soil structure 100 at the point adjacent to the hemispherical soil structure 100, and at the same time preventing water from flowing to the ground. It is more desirable to secure a gap for the flow to flow.

The nutrient structure 300 can be placed in the gap between the soil structures 100 so as to be spaced apart from the ground, as well as placed in the gap between the soil structures 100 so as to be placed on the ground. When the nourishing structure 300 is placed on the ground, the nourishing structure 300 may be provided with a structure that can be embedded in the ground, such as the fixing feet 110 of the soil structure 100.

A plurality of the soil structure 100 and the nutrient structure 300 as described above are each arranged to cover the vicinity of the base of the tree. In this case, the nutrient structure 300 is a plurality of soil structures as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5. It can be placed between (100). Therefore, a plurality of soil structures 100 cover the area around the base of the tree, and a nutrient structure 300 containing fertilizer components is placed between the soil structures 100 to fill the gap between the soil structures 100, Not only can it prevent the occurrence of weeds and soil loss, but it is also possible to supply nutrients for the growth of trees without being affected by environmental factors such as wind, as the fertilizer components are absorbed into the soil near the trees and supplied to the trees.

A plurality of soil structures 100 may be connected by threading a first joint 200 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 . The first joint 200 is preferably provided to penetrate the soil structure 100 so as to be adjacent to the ground when the soil structure 100 is fixed to the ground through the fixing feet 110.

The plurality of soil structures 100 threaded by the first joint 200 are preferably arranged adjacent to each other, and as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when viewed from the top, they have a circular or polygonal shape centered on the tree. It can be arranged regularly to achieve . This first joint 200 can move and arrange a plurality of soil structures 100 at once, allowing work to proceed conveniently and quickly.

Additionally, the plurality of bisecting structures 300 may be connected by threading a second joint 400 as shown in FIG. 2 . The second joint 400 may be provided to penetrate the central part of the bisection structure 300 as shown in FIG. 1, and the plurality of bisection structures 300 threaded by the second joint 400 are, Considering that the nutrient structure 300 is disposed between the soil structures 100, they may be provided to be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance. This second joint 400 can move and arrange a plurality of bisection structures 300 at the same time, allowing work to proceed conveniently and quickly.

Meanwhile, the first joint 200 and/or the second joint 400 may be fixed by a fixing pin 500 driven into the ground. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, both ends of the first joint 200 penetrating the plurality of soil structures 100 can be fixed by fixing pins 500, and these fixing pins 500 ) not only serves to fix the first seam 200 or/and the second seam 400, but also serves to secure the first seam 200 or/and the second seam 400. It may also serve to more firmly fix the plurality of soil structures 100 and/or the nutrient structure 300.

In addition, a cover including a plurality of soil structures 100 connected by a first joint 200 and a plurality of nourishing structures 300 connected by a second joint 400 is a partial cover, not the entire cover, even if tree roots grow.
