Definitions
- the object of the present invention is a green facade formed by means of an assembly of detachable panels with plants, wherein it is possible to meet the water needs of the entire facade through a tank that each of the panels has, without needing to water the panels forming it one by one.
- the green facade does not require an individual irrigation installation for each of the panels, but rather it is only necessary to supply water to a cistern of the upper panel for each of the columns of the green facade.
- auxiliary means such as hoses or spray, sprinkling or drip irrigation, which distribute the water over the panels.
- the present invention relates to a green facade formed by means of an assembly of panels with plants, wherein carrying out the inflow of water which is required by the entire facade from the upper part thereof is possible, with a water outlet per column of panels, without the need to water the panels forming it one by one.
- the facade is formed by at least one column of panels, wherein the column is formed by panels arranged one on top of the other, wherein a tank, a substrate and the plants are located within each panel .
- Each of the panels has a tank which allows storing a determined amount of water which is used in supplying the plant species that are planted on the substrate of the same panel .
- Felt is introduced in the tank located in the lower part of the panel, absorbing the water and leading it by capillarity into the substrate of the panel, favoring the growth of the plants included within the substrate of the mentioned panel .
- a green facade with at least one column is thus formed.
- each column of panels there is a water outlet, which water fills the tank of the panel located thereunder which, when full, runs over and falls onto the panel below it, the tank of which is filled and the process continues until reaching the tank located at the foot of the column.
- the water runs over the edge of the tank, it flows through the gutter formed by the lower wall of the panel and is sent to the lower panel, flowing over the corrugated surface of the bottom of the panel until reaching the tank of the lower panel, and so on and so forth.
- the water outlet is activated by sensors (at least one sensor per column) strategically arranged in the panels the plants of which have the highest water needs of each column.
- Each panel can be individually replaced without needing to remove any adjacent panel since they are not conditioned by the irrigation networks which complicate the replacement of other panels.
- Figure 1 shows the section obtained from a column of panels of the green facade of the present invention.
- Figure 2 shows in detail the different views of the container configuring the panel, without felt, without substrate and without plants: front view 2.1, bottom view 2.2, rear view 2.3, top view 2.4 and lateral views 2.5 and 2.6.
- Figure 3 shows in detail section A-A of the container of a panel used in the green facade, without the substrate and plants .
- Figure 4 shows a section of the felt envelopment of the substrate .
- Figure 5 shows a section of the assembly of the substrate inserted in the felt.
- Figure 6 shows a perspective representation of a panel viewed from the front face, or the face which is arranged facing the outside of the facade.
- Figure 7 shows a perspective representation of a panel viewed from the rear face, or the face which is arranged facing the facade .
- the present invention relates to a green facade formed by means of an array of panels (1) arranged in rows and columns.
- the panels are essentially rhomboid-shaped, with vertical front and rear faces, whereas the upper and lower faces are inclined and parallel with an inclination increasing from the facade towards the outside of the building.
- Each of the panels (1) has a tank (2) in its lower part, whereas a felt envelopment (13) ( Figures 4 and 5) which contains the substrate (3) that serves as the base for the growth of the plants (4) is housed in the rest of the inner space
- FIG. 3 which shows a section of the container.
- the containers forming part of the panels (1) have a rhomboid-shaped configuration, the facing surfaces of which are parallel, such that it has a rear face (5), or face that is inside the facade of the building where the panels are arranged, there is a series of projections (8) on this rear face (5) for fixing and supporting each panel (1) . Furthermore, it has a front face (6) parallel to the rear face (5), and from which the plants (4) emerge during their growth.
- the panels (1) have an open upper face (7) through which the substrate (3) inserted in the felt (13) is introduced, as can be observed in Figures 4 and 5.
- Figure 4 thus shows a section of the felt (13) which will envelope the substrate, whereas
- Figure 5 shows a section of the felt (13) containing the substrate (3) .
- the triangular-shaped lower space of the panels (1) which perform the functions of a water tank (2) can be seen in Figure 6, and a series of brackets (11), the upper part of which serves as support for the felt envelopment (13) containing the substrate (3) is regularly arranged in said lower space.
- Acting as a gutter (14), the outer part of this lower face ( Figure 1) is the element through which the excess water of a tank drips to then lead it to the tank of the panel located thereunder.
- Figure 7 shows a perspective view of the container from the bottom or inner face of the green facade.
- the front face (6) or the face which is arranged facing towards the outside of the building is formed by a grating (15) which prevents the substrate (3) inserted in the felt (13) from coming out.
- brackets (11) do not come into contact with the rear face (5) of the panels, leaving a space (9) where the felt (13) is housed which passes through the slot (10) defined between the free end of each bracket (11) and the rear face (5) of each panel (1) .
- Figure 7 shows the rear face (5) of the containers which has a corrugated configuration so that when the felt envelopment (13) is attached to this face, a space is left between the grooves (16), through which space the excess water from the tank of the panel located thereabove circulates to the tank of this panel.
- the projections (8) which can be seen in detail in Figures 1, 3 and 7, show an inclined lower face (12), such that it defines an acute angle inside which it is possible to house a section which, fixed to the facade, could serve as a support point for the panels (1) .
