Description

Air cleaner using plant

The present invention relates to an air cleaner using a plant, and more particularly to an air cleaner using a plant to perform the air cleaning function using a plant planted to form a vertical wall along the wall.

Recently it has been known that plants play a role in purifying the air. Therefore, many technologies for purifying indoor air or air of a desired space by utilizing the purification of plants have been provided.

In the following prior art documents, air is passed between the plants and the soil in which the plants are planted to collect the purified air and supply it to a desired place. In particular, the Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-1128824 is to plant the plants along the wall and to pass through the soil between the plants and plants planted as air passes through to collect the purified air to supply to the desired space.

As described above, in the conventional technology of purifying air using plants, air must pass through soil in which plants are planted, and thus, moisture necessary for growing plants is discharged together with air. Therefore, there is a problem that the growth of the plant becomes difficult.

In addition, in order for air to pass through the planted soil, a very large fan is required, and there must be a certain amount of voids in the soil. However, it is very difficult for air to pass through common soils.

Therefore, soil for plants used in air cleaners should be relatively large in pore size. However, if there are many voids in the soil as described above, there is a problem that the soil cannot contain moisture for a long time, such that the water supply amount is increased.

In the case of planting plants along the wall, when the walls are not flat and the walls on both sides meet at a predetermined angle, an area where the plants are not planted is generated, and the overall appearance of the air cleaner is deteriorated. When viewed from the front of the planted state does not matter the front direction of the user, but when viewed from the left or right side of the plant is visible, the appearance of the air cleaner is deteriorated, that is, there is also a problem that the deterioration rate decreases.

In addition, when the plant is planted along the wall in the vertical direction with respect to the floor to provide an air purifier, the wall and the plant are installed to secure a space for installing a fan, a hood and a flow path for flowing air. There is a problem in that a relatively wide gap is required between the parts occupy a lot of air cleaners indoor space. In particular, when the hood is located behind the vertical wall made by the plant, the space between the vertical wall made by the plant and the wall becomes wider, thereby increasing the area occupied by the entire air cleaner.

An object of the present invention is to solve the conventional problems as described above, and to separate the air passage through which the purified air passes in the air purifier that purifies the air using the plant separately from the soil in which the plant is planted.

Another object of the present invention is to make the front surface of the plant block in which the plant is planted in the air purifier to purify the air using the plant as a curved surface.

Yet another object of the present invention is to plant plants as much as possible regardless of the angle between adjacent walls in an air cleaner that uses plants to purify the air.

Still another object of the present invention is to support a plant planted in a horizontal direction in the air cleaner purifying the air using the plant so as to face the direction of gravity opposite as much as possible.

Another object of the present invention is to install a filter planted at the inlet of the air flow path in the air purifier to purify the air using the plant to clean the dust and the like.

According to a feature of the present invention for achieving the object as described above, the present invention provides a mounting frame mounted on the wall, a fixed plate mounted on the front of the mounting frame, and the vegetation hole of the front and side mounted on the fixed plate A plant block through which the plant can be planted, a hood mounted on the fixed plate corresponding to the plant block to collect the purified air from the plant, a plant filter installed at the inlet of the hood, and the plant filter planted therein; And a fan for sucking and delivering the purified air from the plant to the hood, and an air duct for delivering the air delivered by the fan to a desired place.

The fixing plate is provided with a first mounting portion on which the plant block and a hood are mounted and a second mounting portion on which the plant block is mounted are different from each other.

The front surface of the block body forming the skeleton of the plant block is formed in a curved surface.

The vegetation soil space formed inside the block body communicates with the outside through a plurality of through holes formed in the block body and is opened to the upper portion of the block body and shielded by a cover.

On the back of the block body, a discharge flow path is formed so as to correspond to one vegetation hole formed in the front of the block body, and discharge air for discharging the purified air into the room.

The vegetation hole supports a plant in which a plant support is installed, and the plant support is integrally formed on the hook piece and the hook piece that is hooked inside the vegetation hole and extends upwardly inclined upward toward the upper part in a semi-cylindrical shape. It consists of.

The plant support is made of a flexible material.

The plant block and the plant filter are separately provided with a water supply pipe for water supply and water supply is separately controlled.

The plant filter is mounted in the hood through a seal.

The filter body forming the skeleton of the plant filter is formed with an inner space that is open to the top, the vegetation soil is filled in the inner space is planted.

The vegetation soil of the plant filter is provided with at least one of grains of turbulence, masato or floral foam.

An additional filter is further provided at the front end of the hood passing through the plant filter to remove contaminants in the air.

The vegetation soil space formed inside the block body of the plant block is open to the top, the inlet of the open vegetation soil space is covered by a cover.

The bottom of the fixing plate is further provided with a drain plate for collecting and draining moisture from the plant block.

In the air cleaner using the plant according to the present invention can obtain the following effects.

First, in the present invention, since the hood for collecting the air purified by the air cleaner is made separately from the plant block in which the plant is planted, and between the plant blocks, the length of the front and rear directions of the air cleaner using the plant is minimized, which is required for the installation of the air cleaner. There is an effect that the space is reduced.

In the present invention, the front of the plant block and the plant filter is curved so that when the air purifier is seen from the front, the front end of the plant planted can be seen at any position in front and the block body or the filter body of the inside is well visible to the outside. There is an effect that the greening state by the plant becomes more abundant.

Further, in the present invention, there is a vegetation hole in one side of the plant block, so that the block body of the plant block is not exposed to the outside even in a portion where the wall is bent.

In addition, the present invention uses a plant support to prevent the plant planted in the plant block sag in the direction of gravity. The plant support supports the stem of the plant, so that the plant grows well in the upward direction, thereby providing an effect of allowing the plant to grow well as a whole.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the hood is installed between the plant blocks so that air does not pass through the plant blocks, and only the purified air is collected by the plants through the hood so that the plants of the plant blocks can grow better. For example, even if a fan with a relatively small capacity can be used, the air cleaner can work well.

For example, a plurality of blocks are fixed to the wall 12 at predetermined intervals, and the fixing plate 30 to be described below is fixed to the block 12. In this case, the block simultaneously serves as the bar 22 and the spacing bar 24.

The bar 22 has a fixed plate 30 is mounted. The fixing plate 30 is preferably made of a synthetic resin material. Of course, the fixing plate 30 may be made of a metal material, but a synthetic resin material is preferable in consideration of productivity. The stationary plate 30 is equipped with a plant block 40 and a plant filter 60 to be described below. The fixing plate 30 has a rectangular plate shape when viewed from the front. The front configuration of the fixing plate 30 is shown well in FIG. The main body 32 forms a skeleton of the fixing plate 30. The main body 32 is a rectangular plate when viewed from the front.

Protruding ribs 33 are formed at an upper end of the main body 32. The protruding rib 33 has a plate shape protruding by a predetermined length along an upper end of the main body 32. The protruding rib 33 serves to support the lower end of the main body 32 of the fixing plate 30 at the upper end when a plurality of fixing plates 30 are used.

The main body 32 of the fixing plate 30 has a first mounting part 34 and a second mounting part 35. The first mounting portion 34 is retracted to the rear relative to the second mounting portion 35. The first mounting portion 34 is located at the upper end of the second mounting portion 35. That is, the first mounting portion 34 is between the protruding rib 33 and the second mounting portion 35.

The first mounting part 34 and the second mounting part 35 are equipped with a plant block 40 and a plant filter 60 to be described below. To this end, the main body 32 of the fixing plate 30 has the configuration as shown in FIG. A plurality of mounting guide ribs 36 are formed in the first mounting portion 34 and the second mounting portion 35. The mounting guide rib 36 serves to support lower edges of both ends of one plant block 40 or the plant filter 60. In this embodiment, the mounting guide rib 36 is a plurality of pairs in the left and right directions on one fixing plate 30, there are five lines in the vertical direction. However, the number of the mounting guide ribs 36 depends on the design conditions. In addition, the mounting guide rib 36 may be omitted at the portion where the hood 50 to be described below is mounted.

Adjacent to the mounting guide rib 36, a spacer rib 37 is formed on the fixed plate (30). The spacer rib 37 is configured to form a predetermined gap between the fixing plate 30 and the plant block 40 to be described below. The spacer rib 37 is formed to protrude upward and downward in this embodiment. However, the shape of the spacer rib 37 may be varied, such as cross.

The first mounting portion 34 has a hood hole 38 is formed. The hood hole 38 is a portion through which the hood 50 or air duct 52 to be described below penetrates the fixing plate 40. The hood through hole 38 is formed in the middle of the fixing plate 30, the two ducts 52 through which two hoods 50 corresponding to the two plant filters 60 and at the same time or are connected to the two hoods 50. ) Pass through.

The second mounting portion 35 is formed with a flow passage hole 39. The flow passage hole 39 is a portion through which the flow passage which collects the purified air and sends it back to the indoor space. The plant block 40 is installed in the second mounting portion 35 in which the flow passage hole 39 is formed. Of course, the passage hole 39 does not necessarily have to be in the second mounting part 35.

The configuration of the plant block 40 mounted on the fixed plate 30 will be described in detail. The configuration of the plant block 40 is well illustrated in FIG. 4, and the block body 42 and the cover 48 form a skeleton of the plant block 40. The block body 42 has a vegetation soil space 44 formed therein and becomes substantially hexahedral. The vegetation soil space 44 is opened to the upper portion of the block body 42, and is shielded by the cover 48. The cover 48 and the block body 42 are formed with a plurality of through holes (not shown). The through hole is formed such that the corresponding portion of the block body 42 is shaped like a net.

Therefore, moisture may freely move to the inside and outside of the vegetation soil space 44 through the plant block 40. Of course, air movement between the inside and the outside of the plant block 40 is also possible to some extent.

The front surface of the block body 42 is formed in a curved surface. In this embodiment, the curved surface having a predetermined radius of curvature is moved from one end to the other end in the horizontal direction with respect to the front surface of the block body 42. That is, the length of the front and rear direction of the block body 42 gradually increases from one end of the block body 42 to the other end thereof. Of course, the block body 42 may be configured such that the front center portion protrudes most and less protrudes toward both ends. In the present embodiment, when the two block bodies 42 are placed side by side in the left and right directions, the center portion protrudes most.

For reference, the front surface of the block body 42 is not necessarily to be a curved surface. For example, the front surface of the block body 42 may be formed in several planes, and the front and rear lengths of the block body 42 may be increased from one end of the block body 42 to the other end thereof.

Vegetation holes 46 are formed on the front and both side surfaces of the block body 42. The vegetation hole 46 passes through the block body 42 to communicate the vegetation soil space 44 with the outside. The vegetation hole 46 is a part through which the plant penetrates. In this embodiment, the vegetation hole 46 is formed in one line in the left and right directions, but the vegetation hole 46 may be formed in a plurality of lines such as two lines or three lines.

The discharge passage hole 47 is formed through the rear surface of the block body 42. The discharge passage hole 47 is a portion through which the discharge passage 56 connected to the air duct 52 to be described below passes.

The cover 48 is seated on the top of the block body 42 serves to shield the vegetation soil space 44. By covering the upper portion of the vegetation soil space 44, the cover 48 to supplement the vegetation soil in the vegetation soil space 44 even in the state in which the plant block 40 is installed on the fixed plate 30 It is possible.

A fixing rib 48 'protrudes from an upper surface of the cover 48. The fixing ribs 48 'are provided side by side and serve to fix the water supply pipe 80 to be described below. The outer surface of the water supply pipe 80 is in close contact between the fixing ribs 48 'to fix the water supply pipe 80.

In this embodiment, the plant block 40 is fastened to the fixing plate 30 through a fastener such as a screw. In the drawings, a fastener is not shown for convenience of illustration, and a configuration in which the fastener can be fastened to the fixing plate 30 and the plant block 40 is not shown. The plant block 40 may be fixed to the fixing plate 30 in a variety of structures. For example, a fixing rail may be installed at positions corresponding to both ends of the plant block 40 in the fixing plate 30, and hook ribs at both ends of the plant block 40 may be hooked to the fixing rail.

On the other hand, between the plant blocks 40 is provided with a hood 50 for collecting the purified air provided by the plant planted in the plant block 40. 2, the hood 50 is positioned at the position where the plant filter 60 to be described below is installed. 2 is a front view of the air cleaner of the present invention viewed from the front, the hood 50 is provided in the second row from the top to the bottom in the first mounting portion 34 of the fixing plate 30. That is, the hood 50 is positioned between the upper first row of the first mounting unit 34 and the upper first row of the second mounting unit 35. At the tip of the hood 50, an additional filter 58 and a plant filter 60 to be described below are installed. For reference, the location of the hood 50 and the plant filter 60 is not necessarily to be the same as the illustrated embodiment, it may be any one of the five strings in one fixing plate 30.

1 and 6, the hood 50 is positioned in a relatively recessed space between the protruding rib 33 and the second mounting portion 35 in the fixing plate 30. In this embodiment, two hoods 50 are installed on one fixing plate 30 so as to be symmetrical with each other. An air duct 52 is connected to the hood 50. The fan 54 is installed inside the air duct 52. In this embodiment, the fan 54 is inside the air duct 52, in particular adjacent to the hood 50, but this need not be the case. The fan 54 may be at the end of the air duct 52.

The fan 54 may be for each hood 50 or there may be one in combination with several hoods 50. This is because the capacity or number of the fans 54 may vary depending on the total capacity of the air cleaner.

The hood 50 has a flow cross-sectional area of the air flow path formed therein becomes narrower from the front end to the rear end to serve to collect the air. The fan 54 pressurizes the air so that the air flows well through the air duct 52. The air duct 52 is to move the air collected by the hood 50 to the desired place. In the illustrated embodiment, the air duct 52 delivers air to the discharge passage 56 passing through the plant block 40. The discharge passage 56 penetrates the inside of the plant block 40 and serves to discharge the purified air directly into the indoor space. In order for the discharge passage 56 to be installed, one of the vegetation holes 46 must pass through the discharge passage 56, and at the same time, the discharge passage hole 47 formed on the rear surface of the block body 42 is formed. Penetrates.

An additional filter 58 is installed at the inlet of the hood 50. The additional filter 58 may be located inside the inlet of the hood 50. The additional filter 58 filters the fine dust in the air. The additional filter 58 contains, for example, grains such as charcoal. That is, the filtering material in the additional filter 58 may be changed according to the environment of the internal space by filtering the inorganic dust or pollutants. The filtering material entering the inside of the additional filter 58 may be a material having a relatively large amount of voids to allow air flow to the hood 50. The additional filter 58 is installed in the inlet of the hood 50 and has the same cross-sectional shape as the flow cross section of the hood 50. At this time, there should be no air leakage between the additional filter 58 and the hood 50. The additional filter 58 may not be used depending on the indoor environment.

The plant filter 60 is installed at the tip of the hood 50. The plant filter 60 is mounted with a seal (not shown) interposed therebetween so that leakage does not occur at the tip of the hood 50. The plant filter 60 is a filter planted plants. The filter body 62 forms the skeleton of the plant filter 60. An inner space 63 is formed inside the filter body 62. The inner space 63 is opened to the upper portion of the filter body 62. The filter body 62 has a configuration similar to the block body 42 of the plant block 40 described above. That is, a plurality of through holes are also made in the form of a net so that the inner space 63 communicates well with the outside.

Vegetation soil is filled in the internal space 62. The vegetation soil is used that is made relatively large voids. For example, it is a stool or masato that has a size that is large enough to cause large voids. In addition, a floral form (also known as an oasis) used for flower arrangement may be used as granules having a predetermined diameter. This is to make the vegetation soil in order to allow the air to pass through the vegetation soil of the plant filter 60 to the hood (50). In this case, the vegetation soil is not made of, for example, only a hard stone, masato or floral foam, but at least one of them is mixed in a predetermined ratio or more to provide breathability.

Meanwhile, the plant support 70 supporting the plant P to support the plant P exposed to the outside through the vegetation hole 46 of the plant block 40 is able to grow well. 46). The plant support 70 is made of a flexible material that can be bent by an external force while maintaining its overall shape. The plant support 70 is installed to protrude inward through the vegetation hole 46 in the block body 42.

The shape of the plant support 70 is shown well in FIG. 5. The plant support (70) has a hook piece (72) seated on the inner edge of the vegetation hole (46), and a support piece (74) extending upwardly inclined upwardly around a predetermined section of the hook piece (72). There is this. The hook piece 72 is hooked inside the vegetation hole 46 so that the plant support 70 is firmly installed in the vegetation hole 46. Both ends of the hook piece 72 protrude upward more than the support piece 74. The support piece 74 is made of a substantially semi-cylindrical shape to support the plant (P).

Since the plant support 70 is made of a flexible material, the plant support 70 is inserted into the vegetation soil space 44 of the plant block 40 through the vegetation hole 46, and only the hook piece 72 has the vegetation soil space ( 44 to be mounted on the plant block 40.

Next, the configuration for supplying water to the plant block 40 or the plant filter 60 will be described. To this end, the water supply pipe 80 is installed to extend along the upper surface of the cover 48 of the plant block 40. The water supply pipe 80 is fixed through a fixing rib 48 ′ of the cover 48. The water supply pipe 80 has a drop hole (not shown) that can supply water to the inside of the plant block 40 through the cover 48 in the middle. The drop ball may adjust the amount of water supplied to the plant according to its size. The drop hole is formed to open toward the cover 48. The water supply pipe 80 is installed in the horizontal direction. In FIG. 2, the water supply pipe 80 is not installed in every row of the fixed plate 30, but is not necessarily so. That is, the water supply pipe 80 may be installed in every row of the plant block 40 installed in the fixing plate 30, or the water supply pipe 80 may be installed in only a few rows.

Although not shown in the drawings, the water supply pipe 80 may be provided to pass through the upper portion of the plant filter 60. The water supply pipe 80 for supplying water to the plant filter 60 may be provided with a plurality of tubules to directly supply water to the vegetation soil of the plant filter 60. Of course, by dropping the ball in the water supply pipe 80 may be supplied to the plant filter 60. Supplying water to the plant filter 60 and supplying water to the plant block 40 may be separately. This is because the amount and the period of water to be supplied to the plant filter 60 is different from the amount and the period of water to be supplied to the plant block 40.

A water supply source 82 and a water supply pipe 80 are connected to supply water to the water supply pipe 80. The water supply source 82 may be various, such as a water tank, the water supply source 82 is connected to the water supply pipe 80 because there is a water supply. The water supply through the water supply pipe 80 may be made at a desired time by controlling a separate valve.

In addition, an additional water tank 84 may be provided in the air cleaner. The water tank 84 may be in a space where an air cleaner is installed, or may be in a separate space. The water tank 84 is where water is temporarily stored. A pump 86 may be installed in the water tank 84 to supply water from the water tank 84 to the water supply pipe 80 together with water supplied from the water supply source 82.

The drain pipe 88 is connected to the water supply pipe 80. The drain pipe 88 is delivered to the water supply pipe 80 to deliver the remaining water flows to the water tank (84). An end portion of the drain pipe 88 or the water tank 84 is provided with a discharge path 88 ′ to discharge the water used in the air cleaner to the outside.

On the other hand, the lower end of each fixing plate 30 has a drain plate 90 to be located below the plant block 40. The drainage plate 90 collects the water away from the plant block 40 at the top thereof and transfers it to the plant block 40 or the water tank 84 at the bottom thereof. The drainage plate 90 may be configured such that adjacent ones of the fixed plates 30 are connected to each other.

In addition, the plant (P) is to grow in the forward upward direction by the plant support 70, the plant (P) is not necessarily so, it can be used a variety of properties of the plant (P). For example, it may be used to grow the plant to stretch in the direction of gravity. If necessary, several kinds of plants (P) may be used simultaneously.

Hereinafter, the installation and use of the air cleaner using the plant according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.

First, planting the plant (P) in the plant block 40 will be described. The vegetation soil is introduced into the vegetation soil space 44 of the plant block 40. A separate nonwoven fabric (not shown) may be provided on the inner surface of the vegetation soil space 44 so that the vegetation soil does not easily escape from the block body 42 of the plant block 40. As the vegetation soil, it is preferable to use one suitable for the type of plant P. Once the vegetation soil is filled to the lower part of the vegetation hole 46, the root portion of the plant P is inserted through the vegetation hole 46 and the vegetation soil is filled again. The vegetation soil space 44 of the block body 42 is filled with vegetation soil to the end and compacted.

For reference, the part of the vegetation hole 46 is not penetrated at the time of manufacture, and can open and use only what is necessary at the time of use. That is, there is a disk-shaped plate to block the vegetation hole 46, which is connected to the block body 42, and when used, it is necessary to remove the plate by cutting the connected portion. In addition, a plant such as a nonwoven fabric may be installed inside the plant block 40 or the plant filter 60 to prevent loss of vegetation soil.

After the vegetation soils 44 are completely filled with vegetation soils, the cover 48 is closed to complete the plant block 40. The plant P, which is planted in the plant block 40 through the vegetation hole 46, protrudes out of the vegetation hole 46, may sag in the direction of gravity. To prevent this, the vegetation hole 46 is equipped with a plant support 70 as shown in FIG. The plant support 70 is made of a flexible material, it can be inserted into the vegetation hole (46). That is, only the hook piece 72 may be inserted into the vegetation soil space 44 to be walked. Of course, the plant support 70 may be installed in advance before filling the vegetation soil in the vegetation soil space 44. Since the plant P is supported by the plant support 70, the plant P may be raised and raised forward. The plant support 70 is not necessarily used, and may be used when necessary.

The installation frame 20 is mounted on the wall 12. After the mounting frame 20 is mounted on the wall 12, the components to be installed between the fixing plate 30 and the wall 12 are installed. For example, there is an air duct 52 and a fan 54.

Next, the fixing plate 30 is mounted to the installation frame 20. After the fixing plate 30 is mounted on the installation frame 20, the plant block 40, the hood 50, and the plant filter 60 are installed on the fixing plate 30.

A fastener is used to install the plant block 40 on the fixing plate 30. A plurality of fasteners penetrate around the rear edge of the plant block 40 so as to be fastened to the fixing plate 30. The plant blocks 40 are respectively installed at corresponding positions of the first mounting portion 34 and the second mounting portion 35 of the fixing plate 30.

For reference, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, four plant blocks 40 are mounted in one row in one fixing plate 30.

After the hood 50 is installed, an additional filter 58 and a plant filter 60 are installed at the inlet of the hood 50. The additional filter 58 is used to remove contaminants that cannot be filtered by the plant filter 60, and is not necessarily used in an environment without such components.

The plant filter 60 is installed on the front surface of the hood 50. The plant filter 60 filters out organic and inorganic dust mixed in the air entering the hood 50. In particular, the filtering is performed by the action of the root of the plant (P) planted in the plant filter 60 and the microorganism of the vegetation soil.

Between the hood 50 and the plant filter 60, air leakage should not occur, so that certain filtering is possible. To this end, a seal may be provided between the plant filter 60 and the inlet edge of the hood 50 to prevent leakage of air. The coupling between the hood 50 and the plant filter 60 can be done in the same way as the coupling between the stationary plate 30 and the plant block 40, but only need to be sealed to prevent leakage. .

An air duct 52 which transfers the air collected from the hood 50 is connected to the discharge passage 56. Of course, the air duct 52 may deliver air to the room through a separate path. In this embodiment, the discharge passage 56 is connected to the room through the plant block 40. Therefore, when the air duct 52 is connected to the discharge passage 56, purified air may be supplied to the room.

On the other hand, the water supply pipe 80 may be fixed by pressing in each of the fixed ribs 48 'of the plant block 40, it is connected to the water supply source 82 or the pump 86 is supplied with water, It is installed to collect and deliver the remaining water through the drain pipe (88).

In the air cleaner using the plant of the present invention installed as described above, when the fan 54 is driven, the air purified from the plants P is collected in the hood 50. The air purged from the plants P and the indoor air are introduced into the hood 50 by the operation of the fan 54. The dust is filtered while passing through the vegetation soil of the plant filter 60. Ingredients made from the vegetation soil of the plant filter 60 and the root of the plant (P) are mixed together.

In addition, when the additional filter 58 is installed, the contaminants mixed in the air are removed together by the components in the additional filter 58. Air passing through the plant filter 60 and the additional filter 58 is collected in the hood 50, and flows from the hood 50 to the air duct 54 by the operation of the fan 54. It is supplied to the room through the discharge passage 56.

Accordingly, the suction force of the fan 54 is acted by the hood 50 installed between the plant blocks 40 to collect the air purified from the plants P by the hood 50, and organic and inorganic dusts. Is filtered while passing through the plant filter 60 and the additional filter 58. Through such a process, the purified air is supplied to the hood 50, and is transferred to the room via the air duct 52 through the discharge passage 56 by the operation of the fan 54.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the plant filter 60 and the plant block 40 may have the same degree of protruding. Of course, in the case of the plant block 40 directly above the plant filter 60, the plant P should be projected slightly rearward for growth and planting of the plant P in the filter 60.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but is defined by the claims, and various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the claims. It is self evident.
