Description

{Production of plant culture mat with plant waste recycling}

The present invention relates to a vegetation mat, and more specifically, to the production of a new landscaping and agricultural vegetation mat that allows recycling of plant by-products and is easy to plant.

Various plant by-products or agricultural by-products are generated through various agricultural activities, including distribution, and these by-products and their disposal are emerging as a global environmental problem. It is known that domestic farms produce about 10 million tons of agricultural by-products every year. Although some of these agricultural by-products are reduced, most are incinerated or left behind as waste. However, this treatment method is causing another environmental problem due to the waste of biological resources, and is a huge burden, especially at the current time when carbon neutrality must be achieved.

In addition, in Korea, in addition to agricultural by-products, various plant by-products such as plant-derived food, waste wood, fallen leaves, and green algae are generated in industrial or forestry fields, but the areas where these plant by-products can be reused in an environmentally friendly manner are limited.

Meanwhile, various types of vegetation mats have been developed and used for landscaping.

Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-0178009 discloses a “vegetation mat using paper,” which is a mixture and seeds prepared by preparing water-soluble upper and lower paper and mixing fertilizer, soil conditioner, and adhesive. After uniformly distributing on the lower paper and joining the upper paper, the mixture, and the lower paper using a circular compression heating roller, a support net and a plurality of fertilizer stands are attached thereon, wherein the upper We propose a method to germinate and grow seeds in an even distribution on the ground surface by preventing seeds or fertilizers from escaping or escaping between the paper and the lower paper.

Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-0687584 discloses "Vegetation environment mat and method of manufacturing the same", which describes the invention as a vegetation environment mat for erosion prevention and ecological restoration, comprising a fiber mat and installation on the top thereof. A mat containing a mesh layer and a mixture of seeds, charcoal powder, rice straw, and adhesive included between the fiber mat and the mesh layer is provided.

Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-878797 proposes ‘vegetation mat for slope greening’. This method includes a vegetable sheet layer in which seeds, soil conditioners, and adhesives are mixed and applied uniformly on a water-soluble sheet, and the same water-soluble sheet as above is attached and pressed thereon; A vegetable fiber net made of either jute or coconut fiber, and a fertilizer net layer made of fertilizer pipes; A vegetation mat is provided, which is made of either jute or coconut fiber and includes a protective net layer laminated at the bottom to protect the vegetation sheet layer.

However, this method of manufacturing vegetation mats has nothing to do with plant by-products and their recycling. Additionally, there is a problem that the seed adhesion rate is low because the seeds are attached to the mat with an adhesive or the like.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a vegetation mat for landscaping or agriculture that can utilize plant by-products.

Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a vegetation mat for landscaping or agriculture that can utilize plant by-products.

Example 1

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the landscaping vegetation mat 10 according to the present invention includes a mat 100 containing plant by-products and having a plurality of pot holes 110,

A vegetation port 200 inserted into the port hole 110, and

It includes soil 300 for vegetation planted in the vegetation pot.

The mat 100 used in the landscaping vegetation mat 10 has a three-layer structure, with an upper natural mat 120 and a lower natural mat 130 located at the top and bottom, respectively, and a plant by-product layer 130 between them. ) is formed.

The upper natural mat 120 is made of natural fibers such as coconut and jute, or is made of biodegradable synthetic fibers. Biodegradable synthetic fiber is woven into a mat using polylactic acid (PLA).

The lower natural mat 140 is also made of natural fibers such as coconut and jute, or biodegradable synthetic fibers. Biodegradable synthetic fiber is woven into a mat using polylactic acid (PLA).

The plant by-product layer 130 is rice straw, rice husk, barley straw, wheat straw, rice husk, crushed rice, green rice, barley husk, soybean stalk, perilla stalk, peanut stalk, peanut pod, soybean oil meal, sesame oil cake, perilla oil cake, corn stalk, red pepper stalk, and tomato stem. , eggplant stems, persimmon pruning branches, pear pruning branches, grape pruning branches, peach pruning branches, and chestnut pruning branches are naturally dried in sunlight, and then crushed into a mixture of plant by-product powder and adhesive.

The mat 100 is made by placing a lower natural mat 140 on it, dispersing the plant by-product powder in water, laying a plant by-product paste mixed with a polysaccharide adhesive, and placing an upper natural bat ( 120) is placed, and the plant by-product paste is dried and solidified to form one with the natural mats above and below.

The port hole 110 formed in the mat 100 is made using a drilling device, and the diameter of the port hole 110 is determined in consideration of the size of the plant port to be inserted and fixed in the port hole 110, and is 30 ~ It has a diameter in the range of 50 mm. The portholes 110 formed in the mat 100 are formed at regular or irregular intervals and may be formed at intervals of approximately 30 to 200 mm.

The vegetation port 200 inserted into the porthole 110 of the mat 100 has a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the porthole 110. For example, a vegetation port 200 with a diameter of 30 to 50 mm is used in a porthole with a diameter of 30 to 50 mm, and the height of the vegetation port is used in the range of 50 to 100 mm.

The shape of the vegetation port 200 can be a cylindrical vegetation port with the same upper and lower diameter, or a vegetation pot in the form of an upper and lower narrowing that is wide at the top and narrow as it goes down, and it is easy to combine the vegetation port 200 and the mat 100. To do so, a vegetation pot in the form of an upper-gwang-low-gyeop can be used. In this case, the diameter of the vegetation port 200 is formed so that the upper part is larger than the diameter of the porthole 110 and the lower part is smaller than the diameter of the porthole 110, so that the vegetation port 200 inserted into the porthole 110 is formed. Make sure it doesn't fall out.

The vegetation pot 200 is manufactured by processing biodegradable film or paper into a pot shape, and is configured to decompose after the plants grown in the vegetation pot 200 grow. The vegetation pot 200 has perforations formed on the bottom for ventilation, moisture discharge, and passage of roots, so that before the vegetation pot made of biodegradable film or paper decomposes, the plants grown in the pot grow and form a mat. It takes root in the soil where it is installed.

The vegetation soil 300 filled in the vegetation pot 200 uses soil containing plant by-products. Plant by-products for plant pots are used by drying the by-products and crushing them into powder, or by molding them into pellets. It is used as a mixture of powder and pellets. The soil filled in the vegetation pot is a mixture of 10 to 30 parts by weight of plant by-products per 100 parts by weight of soil.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the vegetation pot 200 is coupled to the mat 100 containing plant by-products, and the inside of the vegetation pot 200 is made of plant by-products and soil, and the vegetation soil containing seeds ( A vegetation mat 10 having 300) is constructed covering the ground 1.

As shown in FIG. 4B, when a certain period of time elapses after construction, the seeds contained in the vegetation soil 300 sprout and grow.

In addition, as shown in Figure 4c, as time passes, the roots grow larger, penetrate the planting pot, and grow roots on the ground.

As additional time passes, the natural fibers and/or biodegradable fibers that make up the mat and the biodegradable film and/or paper that make up the pot decompose, and the plant by-products return to their natural state.
