Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for greening a city by planting.

  Urban greening not only mitigates the heat island phenomenon, but also has a soothing and gentle healing effect on the eyes. In addition to vacant land on the ground, the areas where greening is possible are mainly the rooftops of buildings, and the walls of factories and buildings. There are various structures such as toilets, ventilation towers, basement doorways. There is also a need for greening in the store facade.

  The greening unit of Patent Document 1 has a plant container and a plant shelf as basic configurations, and is combined with a controllable water supply device. The plant shelf is basically a combination of a bar with high rigidity and a lattice, and various combinations and arrangements of these are provided. The wall surface greening device of Patent Document 2 has a structure in which a plurality of planting units are suspended from the roof by wires to cover the wall surface, and requires a lifting device 30 and the like. The greening method of Patent Document 3 is a structure in which a plurality of attachments are fixed to a wall surface, and linear bodies are stretched around in a lattice shape so that plants planted in a soil holding unit are supported by the linear body. is there.

  In urban areas where greening is required, there are medium- and small-scale structures that can be greened or that require greening, as well as the rooftop and large walls as described above. However, the large greening structure is not suitable for such a medium-scale or small-scale greening because of its large scale, and it is necessary to draw individual design drawings one by one. Furthermore, even with a small greening structure, conventional greening devices and units are all members necessary to complete the function as a greening device, that is, planting and irrigation devices and devices that guide and support plants. Are not prepared in a single set, and it is necessary to purchase and arrange each member.

In addition, such medium-scale or small-scale structures have various shapes and dimensions as a whole, and if the support such as a lattice for guiding and supporting plants is rigid or lacks morphological flexibility, It may not fit well with the greening area. In addition, the coupling between the devices is not uniform, and additional members and processing may be required.
An object of the present invention is to easily carry out greening mainly on medium-scale and small-scale structures (greening targets) and to reduce the cost for greening.

  A planting device, a irrigation device, and a wire as a device for attracting and supporting the planted plant are arranged to make a planting device set. A solar panel power supply device or LED lighting device may be provided.

If a greening device set is purchased, the functions necessary for greening are completed, so there is no need to purchase each device necessary for greening, and the greening work can be performed easily and reliably. Further, there is no mismatch between the prepared devices, and no additional members or processing are required for construction.
Since the support that guides and supports the plant is a wire, it has a very high degree of morphological and dimensional freedom with respect to the object to be planted, and it can be divided into several groups dimensionally and mass-produced in each group. Therefore, the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, since the wire can freely bend and increase / decrease the number of wires, it is possible to deal with a wide range and precise response to a morphological or area change of the object to be greened. Even when removal is planned in the future, such as temporary greening of the construction site, the removal work is easy and can be reused.

The planting device set 2 basically includes a planting device 3, an irrigation device 4, and a wire 5 as a device for attracting and supporting the planted plant. In this embodiment, there is another power supply device 6 using a solar panel 25.

The bus stop 1 has a typical form in which a roof 7 is supported by a support column 8 and is elongated along a road. A front portion indicated by an arrow is a boarding location and a rear location is a getting-off location, and a bench 9 is installed at an intermediate portion.
The planting device 3 is a so-called planter, and is disposed on the lower side of the bench 9 and includes a soil container 10 and an irrigation pipe 11. Note that bulletin boards and the like are often installed at benches 9 at bus stops, but the planting device 3 is installed without removing them.
The soil accommodating unit 10 accommodates soil suitable for the growth of vine plants (for example, Teika pods), and the soil accommodating unit 10 is supplied with water from the irrigation pipe 11 so that the soil moisture is properly maintained.

As shown in FIG. 3, the irrigation device 4 includes a water storage tank 12, the irrigation pipe 11, the shower device 13, a control device 17, and a pump 18. The irrigation device 4 uses rainwater, and collects rainwater in a water storage tank 12 having a capacity of about 200 liters using a gutter 14 provided on the roof. There is a filter inside the water storage tank 12 so that a large garbage can be separated. Reference numeral 15 denotes a drain pipe for overflow.
The water storage tank 12 is connected to the irrigation pipe 11 via the valve device 16 and to the pump 18, and the rising pipe 13 a of the shower device 13 is connected to the discharge port of the pump 18 (thick line in FIG. 3). Route). The pump 18 is turned on and off by a switch sw1. And the said valve apparatus 16 and switch sw1 are under control of the control apparatus 17 (dashed line path | route in FIG. 3). In this embodiment, the control device 17 includes a timer for controlling the opening / closing of the valve and a light sensor for discriminating day and night in order to control the lighting / lighting of the lighting device 27 described later.
The shower device 13 (FIG. 2) sprays water every predetermined time from the nozzle 13 b attached to the tip of the rising pipe 13 a connected to the discharge port of the pump 18 to plant trees growing on the upper surface of the roof 7. Further, water is supplied to the irrigation pipe 11 from the water storage tank 12 via the valve device 16 every predetermined time.

As shown in FIG. 4, the wire 5 is a spiral wire (nominal diameter) in which a fine wire of stainless steel (SUS304) is twisted and a similar auxiliary wire 20 is spirally wound around a main wire 19 whose surface is covered with a synthetic resin. 6 mm), and in this embodiment, wire fixtures 21a and 21b are provided at both ends. The fixture 21a at one end is a wire grip having a hook and a built-in chuck mechanism, and the movement in the return direction is prevented by inserting the end of the wire. The fixture 21b at the other end has a coil spring structure provided with a hook.
A plurality of wires 5 are prepared and are stretched between the planting device 3 and the roof 7 and are stretched over the entire surface of the roof 7. Various types such as a comb shape and a lattice shape can be adopted as the tensioning mode. Also, by combining the number of wires 5 and various modes, the size (area) and form of the roof can be easily set. Can be adapted.

The lower end of each wire 5 is engaged with an angle member 22 (FIG. 5) fixed to the edge of the planting device 3, and the upper end is engaged with an angle member 23 fixed to one end of the roof 7. The upper surface of the roof 7 is stretched between the angle member 23 and the angle member 24 fixed to the opposite edge side. In this embodiment, angle members are also fixed to the left and right edges, and the wires 5 are stretched around the top surface of the roof 7 in a lattice pattern. The tension of the wire 5 is 150 to 200N.
Since the wire 5 is a spiral wire, it is particularly excellent in guiding and supporting vines, and the vine grows along the spiral of the subline 20 and is reliably supported.

The solar panel power supply device 6 is mainly composed of the solar panel 25 and the battery 26 (FIG. 3). In this embodiment, the power supply device 6 is a power source for the illumination device 27 and the pump 18 using LEDs, and the control device 17. It is also a power source. Note that the control device 17 controls the opening / closing of sw1 that turns on / off the pump 18 and sw2 that turns on / off the lighting device 27 as described above.
The lighting device 27 using the LED is for crime prevention and can make the planted green beautifully at night. This illumination can also be used as an advertising box 28 or information transmission board using LEDs.

At the bus stop 1, the climbing plants planted in the planting device 3 extend upward through the wires 5, reach the roof 7 and thrive on the entire surface. The overgrown plants suppress the increase in ambient temperature due to the reflection of the roof 7, and also have the effect of relaxing the feelings of people waiting for buses and passers-by.
In addition, in the case of extreme sunshine, additional watering is necessary, or when appropriate planting is necessary when planting is too prosperous, it is usually possible to maintain the greenery only by looking around .

  And if this greening device set 2 purchases this set as goods and prepares it on the spot, since it can complete the function required for greening, it can be constructed easily and quickly. Moreover, since this set uses the wire 5 as a member for guiding and supporting the planted plant, it can easily correspond to the size and form of the object to be planted.

6 and 7 show an example (construction example 2) constructed at the entrance to the subway. Entrances to subways and underpasses are relatively long and often have a flat roof. In many cases, one side in the longitudinal direction is a roadway, and the other side is a sidewalk.
In such a place, the planting device 3 of the planting device set 2 and the water storage tank 12 of the irrigation device 4 are installed at the rear end (short side opposite to the exit) of the doorway structure, and the wire 5 is stretched from there. To do. The wire 5 is stretched from the angle member 22 fixed to the edge of the planting device 3 to the angle member 23 fixed to one end of the roof and the angle member 24 fixed to the other end of the roof. The fence 14 from the roof 7 is communicated with the water storage tank 12.

The wire 5 is easy to handle because it is easy to adjust its length and bends. There are a plurality of wires 5, and the length of each wire 5 is from the lower angle member 22 to the intermediate angle member 23 (for example, 2 m) and from the angle member 23 to the angle member 24 (the same 4m), or may be continuous from the lower angle member 22 to the angle member 24 on the other end of the roof. Furthermore, the wires 5 on the top surface of the roof may be arranged in a lattice pattern.
Even in such a case, the greening can be easily completed by simply purchasing the greening device set 2 that is sold and carrying it to the site, and almost setting it. Moreover, since it is functionally self-contained, there is no need for special vegetation after installation.

FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are examples (construction example 3) in which construction is performed on an exhaust port structure for an air conditioning facility that is often designed on the rooftop of a building, a garden plaza, or the like. In this structure, the roof 7 has a curved surface in which arcs are continuous from the design of the appearance.
Even in such a case, from the angle material 22 fixed in the vicinity of the planting device 3 by installing the planting device 3 of the greening device set 2 and the water storage tank 12 of the irrigation device 4 on the rear side opposite to the exhaust outlet. It is stretched over the angle member 23 (plurality) fixed to one end of the roof and the angle member 24 (plurality) fixed to the other end of the roof. The fence 14 from the roof 7 is communicated with the water storage tank 12.

  The wire 5 (plural) stretched on the roof 7 draws a polygon as viewed from the side, but can be easily adapted to the curved surface of the roof 7. Also in this case, a plurality of wires 5 may be continuous in the longitudinal direction, or one wire 5 may be disposed in the longitudinal direction. In this construction example, the plan view of the roof 7 is rectangular and simple. For example, even if it is elliptical, covering this surface with a wire can be easily handled by adjusting the arrangement and length of the wire 5. can do.

FIG. 10 shows a construction example 4 in which the facade (front side of the entrance / exit side) and the side surface of the convenience store are greened.
Convenience stores are intended for various social participations, such as collecting garbage and using solar energy, in addition to functions such as police officer liaison offices, government offices, and bank functions. Greening is one of them.
However, the conventional greening method has a drawback that it is large and costly, and the facade is hidden by a plant that has grown in a planar shape.

  Even in such a case, according to the present invention, the planting device set 2 is carried to the site, the water storage tank 12 of the planting device 3 and the irrigation device 4 is installed on the ground, and the ridge 14 of the building is connected to the water storage tank 12. Furthermore, by connecting the water storage tank 12 and the planting device 3 with a pipe, greening can be easily performed.

In construction example 4, the water storage tank 12 is enlarged to supply water to both the planting device 3 on the facade side and the planting device on the side wall surface. The greening device set 2 includes a power supply device 6 having a large solar panel, and includes a large solar panel 25 and a lighting device 27 installed on the roof 7. The illuminating device 27 is disposed below the portion that greens the side wall, and illuminates the planted plant for a certain period of time at night.
Moreover, although the several wire 5 arrange | positioned at the facade side is stretched from the planting apparatus 3 to the edge of the roof 7, the space | interval of the right and left is larger than the case of a side wall, and the state inside a building passes through glass. To the extent that can be seen. On the contrary, the arrangement of the wires 5 can be doubled back and forth at the side wall portion to make the greening darker. Since these constructions only adjust the number of wires 5, they can be easily handled.
Reference numeral 28 denotes an advertisement box, which can display the name of a greening cooperative company at night using the solar panel 25 as a power source.

  In any of the construction examples, the greening device set 2 having a necessary function, that is, a functionally complete greenery can be completed only by carrying the greening device set 2 to the site and performing the installation construction. There is no need to connect pipes to water pipes for water supply. Further, no mismatching occurs between the members during construction. Furthermore, it is possible to easily adapt to the situation in the field by adjusting the size and number of wires or bending the wires.

As described above, the examples have been described in the construction examples.
For example, large, medium, and small groups are prepared as the greening device set 2 so as to correspond to the scale of construction, and the basic length of the soil container 10 and the wire 5 is determined for each group. It is preferable.
The wire 5 is preferably a spiral wire, but is not limited to this, and a steel wire or the like can also be used.

The wire 5 is not only linearly stretched, but a single wire is folded back within a predetermined width, and the forward part and the returned retrograde part are connected to each other at a predetermined interval between the adjacent parts. Also included are those formed as a net. The fixtures at both ends of the wire are not limited to the wire grip 21a provided with the hooks and the hook 21b provided with the coil springs, but may have any structure as long as the end of the wire 5 can be fixed to another.
In a construction example of a convenience store, it is conceivable that drain water discharged from the air conditioner is guided to the water storage tank 12 and used effectively.

The shower device 13 is not essential because it includes the irrigation pipe 11 in the planting device 3, but it is preferable to provide the shower device 13 because it also cools the roof 7. Moreover, not only what sprays water from the nozzle of a front-end | tip, but the thing of the dripping method of dripping water from many small holes formed in the watering hose (pipe) is also employable. In the dripping method, the watering hose and the wire 5 (spiral wire) are crossed at the position of the dripping hole, and the rainwater dripped is transmitted along the wire 5 and supplied to the plant. The dripping method has less wasted watering.
Irrigation to the planting device 3 basically has a structure in which rain water supplied from the water storage tank 12 is supplied to the upper soil layer through a water absorption pipe by using the lower half of the soil accommodating part 10 as a water storage part in addition to the irrigation pipe 11. It can also be.
In places where a bench can be used, such as a bus stop, a pump for irrigation or sprinkling by using the weight of the person sitting on the bench to push down the piston or increasing the space pressure inside the water storage tank 12 by deformation of the bench. It can also be powered.
