Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an ecosystem growth block having holes for planting, more specifically, a surface makeup with porous lava, particularly for harmony with the natural environment to destroy the ecosystem. Not about ecosystem growth blocks.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are planting blocks as blocks for promoting greening.
Plants have been developed by implanting plants in a basket-shaped concrete product with an open bottom (Fig. 5), or by making a frame-like frame with concrete blocks and growing the plant in the hollow portion.

In recent years, pseudo stone-shaped blocks whose surface is made of synthetic resin in a natural stone-like manner are connected by metal steel wires via hooks provided on the side surfaces of the blocks, and the blocks formed between the blocks are connected to each other. Planting blocks have been developed for vegetation of weeds and the like (Fig. 6).

[0004]

However, in the conventional planting block, since the bottom of the concrete product is simply opened, even if a plant grows from the hole, the tasteless surface of the concrete is exposed. It was inconsistent with the natural environment.

Further, even if the surface of the block is modeled in the manner of a natural stone and the surface is made up, the surface is still concrete and no plant or the like grows on the concrete surface. Furthermore, even if natural stones such as gravel are embedded on the surface of the block, the block itself does not grow plants and microscopic organisms, only the plants planted in the holes grow, and the block itself becomes a natural environment. It was not assimilated to grow natural plants, insects and small animals.

[0006] In recent years, the divided blocks are to grow plants from the gaps between the blocks to make ones that are close to the natural environment, but the surface of the blocks is concrete as above, and the blocks themselves are It does not serve as a place to foster ecosystems. In addition, although the divided blocks are mainly installed on the slope of the river, it is difficult to connect them with wires on the slope of the river where the unevenness is severe, because the blocks between the blocks float due to the unevenness of the ground. There is a drawback that the workability is poor.

Moreover, even if natural stones are embedded in the surface of the divided blocks, it is not easy to pack natural stones of different sizes into blocks of a certain size, and the size of stones that fit in the shape of the block is selected. It was difficult to do and the workability was poor.

As described above, in recent years, the surface of a block that exposes the dry tasteless surface of the concrete is applied to the surface like a natural stone, or a space is created between the blocks when the blocks are installed. Although we have started to provide products that match the natural environment as much as possible such as growing plants, these blocks are approaching those that match the natural environment from an ornamental viewpoint, but the blocks themselves are made of concrete. Since it is a structure of, the installation of this may destroy the ecosystem such as the river. For this reason, it has been desired to provide concrete products that do not damage the ecosystem and that match the ecosystem, such that the blocks themselves serve as a place for growing the ecosystem.

The present invention is gentle to the natural environment, makes it easy for the ecosystem to grow from the block itself, does not expose the bare bare concrete surface as a block, and also allows the use of natural stones for large and small surface makeup. The object is to provide an ecosystem breeding block that can be easily manufactured even when used.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present inventor has conducted earnest research on an ecosystem growth block that does not destroy the ecosystem but rather serves as a new habitat for living things. As a result, if necessary, a sand layer is provided on the surface, and as surface decorative aggregate, cobblestone, crushed stone, tuff,
One or more planting that exposes one or more natural stones such as andesite, slate, granite, serpentine, limestone, etc. or porous aggregate such as lava or porous concrete to make up the surface and penetrate from the surface to the back It has been found that the above problems can be solved by using an ecosystem growing block having holes or pipes that penetrate the back surface of the concrete block from the back of a porous aggregate such as holes or lava.

Natural stones as surface decorative aggregates include cobblestone, crushed stone, anti-firestone, tuff, andesite, slate, granite,
Although any natural stone such as serpentine or limestone can be used, it is most preferable to use porous lava, pumice, or porous concrete. Porous lava absorbs water and is highly moisturizing, so that moss can easily grow on its own among natural stones. In addition, since the lava is used as the surface decorative aggregate, the sand around the lava and the soil filled in the planting holes are always kept in a moist state, and the entire block becomes a new habitat for the creatures. You can
Porous concrete is also porous and therefore absorbs water and has excellent moisturizing properties, so that it can be used.

It is preferable to provide a plurality of lava on the surface as a surface decorative material, but it is preferable to provide a large amount of lava when growing a lot of moss on the surface. In addition, lava has a purifying action, and when it is installed in a river, it is possible to purify the polluted river and obtain a natural environment more favorable to the ecosystem.

A sand layer is provided on the surface of the block, and the joint portion between the surface decorative aggregates is designed so that the tasteless dry surface of concrete is not exposed by the sand layer. The sand layer is preferably a layer on the surface of the block of about 1 to 5 cm, and the sand layer in the joint portion between the surface decorative aggregates is
Although it is excellent in scenery as it is, the grass may be sown in advance on the sand at the time of making the block or after the block is molded to sow seeds. It should be noted that, if the sand layer is thick, a tall plant with roots grows, and if the sand layer is thin, a short plant grows. Therefore, a plant to be grown can be selected by adjusting the sand layer. Therefore, the sand layer can be adjusted depending on the plants grown at the construction site. For example, when weeds do not want to reproduce, the sand layer may be thinned before use. When the sand layer is not provided, it is preferable to expose the lava as much as possible on the surface and use the joint portion as a planting hole.

The planting hole is penetrated from the front surface to the back surface of the block, and the planting hole is filled with soil and a plant such as azalea is planted. Then, on the back surface of the planting hole, the soil of the planting hole and the soil of the construction site are combined to integrate the block with the ground.
In addition, the planting hole is provided with a plurality of arbitrary numbers under the joints between the lava or under the lava, and the shape can be appropriately selected from various shapes such as a rectangular parallelepiped shape, a crescent shape, a cylindrical shape, and an elliptical shape. , A large planting hole may be provided at the center, or a plurality of different shapes may be provided, and it may be appropriately selected depending on the purpose of the product to be molded.

The concrete of the concrete block is
Depending on the product, ultra-hard kneading or soft-mixing concrete can be used, but for demolding, ultra-hard kneading and soft-mixing can be appropriately selected and used.

The shape of the concrete block is a quadrangle,
A rectangular shape or the like can be selected as appropriate, but it is preferable that each side surface has a recess. This is because when similar blocks are connected, the recesses combine to form a hole,
This is because it can be used as a planting hole. Also, as the block, interposition block, large block, flat plate,
It can be used for any block such as a waterway block.

According to the present invention, when lava is used as the surface decorative aggregate, the sand has a suitable water content in the joint sand part and the planting hole soil part, so that moss, plants and small animals can easily grow. Become.

However, when lava is not used and only the sand layer is formed on the surface of the block, only the planting hole is formed on the surface of the block, or the combination of the sand layer and the planting hole is used, let alone moss, There is almost no growth of plants or creatures. From this, it is preferable to use lava as the surface decorative aggregate, and excellent effects can be obtained only by the combination of the present invention.

Further, as another aspect of the present invention, one or more porous lava or porous concrete is exposed on the surface of the concrete block, and an ecology having a hole or a pipe penetrating from the back of the lava to the back surface of the concrete block. It is a system training block.

If a hole is formed behind the lava or the like, the water content in the soil will penetrate into the back of the lava to keep the lava in a moist state and promote moss growth and ecosystem development. This is effective because moss and the like are grown in a damp place and cannot maintain a wet state when the block is in the sun. Further, instead of the holes, a vinyl pipe penetrating the block may be inserted, and at this time, if the vinyl pipe is connected to the water channel, a wet state can be maintained on a regular basis. In addition, if the planting holes are provided at the joints of the concrete block at the same time as these holes, it is possible to provide a concrete block that better matches the ecosystem.

[0021]

[Effects] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an ecosystem block which is kind to the natural environment and in which the ecosystem can be easily grown from the block itself. Also, without exposing the bare dry concrete surface as a block, grass can be easily grown by sowing seeds such as grass in the sand part, and if vegetation such as azalea is planted in the sand part of the planting hole, Nurturing continues more than conventional planting blocks. Furthermore, construction on slopes such as rivers can be easily performed, and after the construction, moss can be easily grown, microorganisms and insects can be grown along with the moss, and the river can be purified from the lava purifying action. Therefore, it is possible to provide an ecosystem block that is kind to the ecosystem and can obtain an environment similar to a natural environment, and the block itself, which has not been a conventional block, serves as a place for nurturing the ecosystem. Furthermore, if holes or pipes are provided from behind the lava or the like, the water supply is excellent, the wet state is maintained, and it becomes easier to grow the ecosystem.

【Example】

Example In a 1000 × 1000 × 500 mm iron mold, a bottom magnetized 100 × 400 × 300 mold for planting holes was installed at an arbitrary position, and then a sand layer was spread over 20 mm, and makeup was further applied. Various sizes of lava were placed as sand aggregate on the sand layer, and then concrete was poured into the sand layer. After curing, the product was obtained by demolding with a mold for planting holes. The product obtained has lava 2 on the surface, sand layer 3 on the joints, planting holes 5 penetrating the front and back in the concrete part 4, and recesses 6 of 50 mm on the four sides. There is. When the obtained ecosystem growth block 1 is connected and spread as a retaining wall on the riverbed, the sand part 3 is planted with azalea seedlings in the seeds of grass, planting holes and the holes of the recesses obtained by connecting. The grass grows in about 2 weeks, moss grows in the lava area in about 1 month, and azaleas grow.
After that, it was confirmed that the azaleas could be raised without dying.

At the same time, when lava was not provided and only the sand layer was formed on the surface, a block consisting of the sand layer and planting holes was prepared, and the block was spread in the same manner. It did not grow up easily, and the azaleas in the planting department were also burned in 3 weeks.
