Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ecological engineering technology, specifically to a green block wall and a method for constructing a green block wall. Background Technology
[0002] Common wall greening typically involves fixing a framework grid to an existing brick wall, then attaching planting containers (such as plastic buckets or geomembrane bags) and planting plants within them. This type of wall greening has the following characteristics: it uses a lot of framework material (usually steel), resulting in material waste; adding a green outer layer to the existing wall takes up more space; the steel frame is prone to rust, difficult to repair, and not durable, etc.
[0003] To address the existing problems, a green block wall that combines bricklaying and landscaping is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The green block wall proposed in this invention includes green block materials, an interface agent, and green plants. The green block materials comprise a box-shaped hollow structure with an open top surface, specifically including masonry blocks, planting blocks, and composite blocks. The masonry blocks include one or more masonry cavities filled with compacted material; the planting blocks include one or more planting cavities filled with planting soil; the composite blocks are box-shaped hollow structures with an open top surface containing multiple cavities, including masonry cavities and planting cavities, with the masonry cavities filled with compacted material and the planting cavities filled with planting soil. The green plants are flowering plants grown in the soil of the planting cavities.
[0005] Preferably, the interface agent is mud or masonry mortar.
[0006] Preferably, the green plant block box-shaped hollow structure is made of recycled plastic sheet material, and the cross-section is rectangular or circular / semi-circular / quarter-circular or other polygons and combinations thereof.
[0007] Preferably, the lower part of the box-shaped hollow structure bottom plate has a plate strip of a certain length parallel to the side wall to form an insertion part. During masonry, the insertion part of the upper structure can be inserted into the backfill of the lower masonry cavity.
[0008] Preferably, the sidewall of the box-shaped hollow structure is provided with concave and convex joints, and adjacent blocks are connected by interlocking through the joints.
[0009] Preferably, the compacted material for the masonry cavity is a mixture of large aggregate and soil, which is then filled with mortar to compact and fill the gaps before being dried. The large aggregate is crushed stone, crushed brick, or recycled concrete and mixtures thereof.
[0010] The green block wall construction method described in this invention is as follows:
[0011] The first step is to process and manufacture the hollow structure of the greening blocks, including masonry blocks, planting blocks, and composite blocks, to form corresponding masonry cavities and planting cavities respectively;
[0012] The second step is to fill the masonry cavity of the masonry blocks and composite blocks with compacted material. When using large aggregates, mortar is poured into the gaps between the aggregates to compact and fill them, and then the mixture is dried.
[0013] Third, repeat the above steps to complete the finished green plant blocks of various sizes for later use;
[0014] The fourth step involves constructing the wall using the green plant blocks and the interface agent according to the wall design, while reserving space for the growth of green plants above the planting cavity.
[0015] During the upper and lower layer construction, after a layer of the interface agent is fully laid on the top surface of the masonry block, the upper layer of green plant blocks is constructed. The insertion part of the upper layer of green plant blocks penetrates the interface agent and inserts into the masonry cavity of the lower layer of masonry blocks.
[0016] When building from left to right, adjacent green plant blocks are connected by interlocking through the concave-convex joint; before the convex part is inserted into the concave part, an interface agent can be applied to its surface as needed, or after insertion, an interface agent can be injected into its gap to fill and compact the gap.
[0017] Preferably, an opening is made above the planting cavity of the green block wall to create a space for green plants to grow.
[0018] Preferably, the composite block masonry cavity is built inside the green block wall, and the planting cavity is cantilevered outside the wall, forming a space for green plant growth through the cantilever.
[0019] Preferably, a nylon mesh is fixed to the outer surface of the wall, and plaster is applied to form a plaster layer;
[0020] Fifth step: Fill the planting cavity with planting soil;
[0021] Step 6: Plant flowers and grasses in the planting soil.
[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It achieves wall greening simultaneously with wall construction, is easy to manufacture and construct, saves materials and land, is durable and maintenance-free, and contributes to carbon and dust reduction and environmental beautification; the masonry cavity interlocks tightly in all directions, resulting in strong integrity, improved wall rigidity, and enhanced wall stability; the compacted filler in the masonry cavity forms a unified whole with the cavity, resulting in high strength; the compacted material can be filled with broken bricks and recycled concrete aggregate in the mortar, reducing construction waste through material recycling; the planting soil in the planting cavity is filled after masonry construction, reducing the weight of the blocks during construction, maximizing ease of operation and reducing labor intensity; the hollow box of the masonry block can be made of recycled plastic, and after plastering, it is in a closed environment, exhibiting excellent durability, reducing plastic waste, and being economical, thus contributing to the sustainable development of a circular economy.

[0035] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this invention provides a green block wall and its construction method, for use in green block walls where plants can be planted integrally on the wall surface. The implementation method is as follows:
[0037] S1. Recycle second-hand plastic products and process them to make hollow structures of green plant blocks (1000), including masonry blocks (11), planting blocks (12), and composite blocks (13), which respectively form masonry cavities (101) and planting cavities (102), see Figure 1 ;
[0038] S2. Fill the masonry cavity (101) of the masonry block (11) and composite block (13) with compacted material (111). When using large aggregate (1111), inject mortar (1112) into the aggregate gaps to compact and fill the cavity, then let it dry. See Figure 7 ;
[0039] S3. Repeat the above steps to complete the green plant blocks (1000) of various sizes for later use.
[0040] The green plant block (1000) has a box-shaped hollow structure with single or multiple chambers, made of recycled plastic sheets, and has a cross-section that is rectangular, circular, semi-circular, quarter-circular, or other polygonal shapes and combinations thereof. Figure 1 Both the masonry blocks (11) and the planting blocks (12) in the middle are single-chambered. Figures 2-6 The composite block (13) is a multi-chamber combination.
[0041] S4. The green plant blocks (1000) and the interface agent (2) are used to build the wall according to the wall design, and a space for green plants to grow on the upper part of the planting cavity (102) is reserved.
[0042] When laying the bricks, if Figure 7 As shown, after the top surface of the masonry block (11) is fully covered with a layer of the interface agent (2), the upper layer of green plant blocks is built. The insertion part (1011) of the upper layer of green plant blocks penetrates the interface agent (2) and is inserted into the masonry cavity (101) of the lower layer of masonry blocks.
[0043] When laying bricks on the left and right, such as Figure 8 As shown, adjacent green plant blocks are connected by interlocking joints (103). The interlocking joints (103) include a concave portion (1031) and a convex portion (1032). The inner bottom width of the concave portion (1031) is a1, and the outer opening width is a2. The corresponding convex portion (1032) has a root width of t1 and an end width of t2. The relationships between a1, a2, t1, and t2 are: a1 is greater than t2, t2 is greater than a2, and a2 is greater than t1. Before the convex portion (1032) is inserted into the concave portion (1031), an interface agent (2) can be applied to its surface as needed, or after insertion, an interface agent (2) can be injected into its gaps to fill and compact them.
[0044] S5. Fill the planting cavity (102) with planting soil (121);
[0045] S6. Plant flowers and grasses (3) in the planting soil (121);
[0046] S7. Fix nylon mesh (4) to the outer surface of the wall, and plaster to form a plaster layer (5), see Figure 9 .
[0047] Figure 10 In the first embodiment shown, the composite block (13) includes both a building cavity (101) and a planting cavity (102). The building cavity (101) is built inside the green block wall, and the planting cavity (102) is cantilevered outside the wall, forming a green growth space through the cantilever.
[0048] Figure 11 The second embodiment shown is a corner wall, and the composite block (13) containing the masonry cavity (101) and planting cavity (102) on both sides of the intersection of the two walls is made as a whole. The masonry cavity (101) is built inside the walls on both sides of the intersection, and the planting cavity (102) is cantilevered outside the walls on both sides of the intersection, forming a green growth space similar to a "hanging corner" through the cantilever.
[0049] Figure 12 In the third embodiment shown, an opening is made above the planting cavity (102) of the green block wall, forming a space for green plants to grow. When the opening is made near the top wall, it forms an open groove above, which is more conducive to the planting and growth of green plants.
[0050] In summary, the green block wall of this invention combines wall construction and greening in one, with readily available materials, simple process, and convenient construction. The compaction material can be filled with broken bricks and recycled concrete aggregate in the mortar, reducing construction waste through material recycling. The planting soil in the planting cavity can be filled after the masonry is completed, minimizing the weight of the blocks and facilitating operation and reducing labor intensity. The interlocking connection of the masonry cavities results in a green block wall with good strength, rigidity, and durability, saving materials and land, beautifying the environment, and simultaneously allowing the recycling of second-hand plastic products and recycled concrete, reducing plastic waste and construction waste. It is economical, conducive to the sustainable development of the circular economy, and has good economic and social benefits.
[0051] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
