The plantable concrete block 9 has a fixed size of 1200mm × 900mm × 150mm. The plantable concrete block device 1 includes three plantable concrete slabs 13 and two lightweight concrete slabs 14. The plantable concrete slabs 13 and lightweight concrete slabs 14 are welded together with internal steel bars; grooves 12 are located on the plantable concrete slabs 13 and lightweight concrete slabs 14, and penetrate through holes 15 in the concrete blocks. The holes 15 are mortised into wooden sticks 16. The plantable concrete blocks 9 are combined with the lightweight slabs 10 through base blocks 2. The wooden sticks 16 are elm wood sticks with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 155 mm.

[0029] Nut 11, which fixes the spiral connector 7 to the lightweight plate 10; groove 12 on the plantable concrete block; hole 15 through the concrete device; wooden stick 16, which can connect the concrete block, the lightweight concrete plate, and the hinge device through the hole 15.

[0030] Please see Figure 5 The plantable concrete slab 13 includes a vegetation roll 17, which comprises, from the outside to the inside, an irradiation-reflecting layer, a temperature-regulating layer, a moisture-controlling layer, a root-inducing layer, and a seed germination layer, ensuring rapid vegetation growth and establishment. Vegetated concrete 18 is made from recycled construction waste, achieving the reuse of construction waste and resource recycling. The vegetation roll 17 is located on the surface of the plantable concrete slab 13, and the planted concrete 18 is located in the inner layer of the plantable concrete slab 13.

[0031] Plant seeds are sown in the vegetation roll 17, and plant roots 111 can grow in the vegetation concrete 18.

[0032] Please see Figure 6 This invention provides a hinge device 19 for connecting a planted concrete block device to a building wall. The hinge device 19 includes a hinge sleeve 21; screws 20, which secure the hinge sleeve 21 to the wall; the screws 20 being 10mm diameter Phillips head screws; a hinge 22, which includes a rod-shaped metal 24 with spiral threads at both ends and a nut 25 for securing the hinge 22, the hinge 22 fitting inside the hinge sleeve 21; and a buckle 23, which includes a component 26 welded to the hinge 22, and three metal blocks 27 welded to the component 26. Each metal block 27 has a small hole 28 with a diameter of 2cm for engaging with a wooden stick 16 of the same size. The metal blocks 27 engage with grooves 12.

[0033] During installation, first, place a sealing rubber ring 8 over the small hole on the lightweight board 10, then insert the spiral connector 7, which is welded to the suction cup component, into the small hole. Finally, attach the nut 11 to the spiral connector 7 from the inside to complete the connection between the lightweight board 10 and the suction cup component. Next, weld the lightweight board 10 to the plantable concrete block 9 to complete the assembly of the plantable concrete block device 1. After fixing the hinge device 19 to the building wall, rotate the hinge 22 to engage the connecting device buckle 23 with the groove 12 of the plantable concrete block 9. Then, pass the wooden stick 16 through the small hole 15 and the buckle hole 28 of the plantable concrete block 9 to ensure a tight connection between the buckle 23 and the plantable concrete block 9.

[0034] Please see Figure 7 The present invention provides a rainwater harvesting irrigation device 33, which includes: a rainwater collection box 29, a water cavity 30 fixedly installed on the outer wall connected to the rainwater collection box, and a plurality of nozzles 31 fixedly installed on the right side of the water cavity 30 connected to the water cavity 30.

[0035] A solenoid valve is installed inside the nozzle 31 connected to the water chamber 30; a water supply mechanism is connected to the nozzle 31; the water supply mechanism includes a water pipe and a fixing plate, and the water pipe is installed on the building wall through the fixing plate. The water supply mechanism draws water into the water chamber 30, and when the solenoid valve is opened, the plants in 9 can be irrigated through the nozzle 31.

[0036] The principle of the rainwater irrigation device is as follows: When it rains, rainwater enters the interface through the filter layer in the rainwater collection box 29, and then enters the water chamber 30 for storage as irrigation water, thus achieving water conservation. Impurities in the rainwater are blocked by the filter layer. One end of the water pipe is fixedly connected to the water chamber 30, and the other end extends through the wall to the inner wall and is fixedly connected to a water pump; water is pumped into the water chamber 30 by the water pump.

[0037] The working principle of this invention's vertical green decorative strip is as follows: Plantable concrete blocks are fixed to the wall using hinges. The upper and lower plantable concrete blocks are connected by suction cup components. When the upper and lower plantable concrete blocks are connected, the suction cups are squeezed, expelling air through valves on the suction cups. After the air is expelled, the valves close to prevent air backflow, ensuring a firm connection between the upper and lower plantable concrete blocks. Wooden sticks are then inserted through holes in the plantable concrete block device and the hinged device's locking mechanism for reinforcement. During rain, rainwater passes through a filter layer in the rainwater collection tank, enters the interface, and then flows into the water chamber for storage as irrigation water. Impurities in the rainwater are filtered out by the filter layer. A water pump draws water and delivers it to the water chamber through pipes. Sprinklers connected to the water chamber then irrigate the plants. The entire device is interconnected, achieving waste material reuse and a lasting, vibrant greening effect on the building facade.
