Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a wall greening module, and more particularly to a wall greening module with an air purification function and a drip irrigation structure, applicable to the field of greening equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous increase in urban building density, traditional planar green spaces are becoming increasingly limited. Vertical greening, as an effective way to increase green area and improve the urban ecological environment, has received widespread attention.

[0003] Chinese patent CN208523330U discloses a vertical green wall, including a base and a support frame fixedly connected to the base by pre-embedded parts embedded in the base. The support frame is provided with drip irrigation pipes and mesh hanging racks on its sides. Multiple planting pots are evenly distributed on the hanging racks. The drip irrigation pipes are arranged horizontally and located above the planting pots. Because the pre-embedded parts embedded in the base have a high degree of integrity with the base, the two are not easy to loosen. Therefore, the support frame can be firmly fixed to the base.

[0004] While there are some scattered eco-friendly air purifiers on the market, these products also have many shortcomings. They usually use a combination of plants, activated carbon adsorption, ultraviolet lamps, fans, water curtains, and other methods, but most of them are single-unit devices with a limited number of plants, which cannot fully utilize the purification effect of the plants. At the same time, these products lack modular design, making it difficult to achieve effective integration with walls, and they cannot meet the needs of large-area expansion. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that although there are some scattered ecological air purifiers on the market, these products also have many shortcomings. They usually use a combination of plants, activated carbon adsorption, ultraviolet lamps, fans, water curtains and other methods, but most of them are single devices with a limited number of plants, which cannot give full play to the purification effect of plants. At the same time, these products lack modular design, making it difficult to achieve effective integration with the wall, and even more so, they cannot meet the needs of large-area expansion.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a wall-mounted greening module with an air-purifying function and a drip irrigation structure. The module includes a casing with multiple drainage holes at both its upper and lower ends. A front and rear cavity sandwich panel is located at the front end of the casing, with a mesh layer at the front end of the sandwich panel, a plastic substrate at the front end of the mesh layer, and a planter cup plate at the front end of the plastic substrate. Multiple planting cup rings are distributed at the front end of the planter cup plate. A fan chamber is installed at the left end of the casing, and a fan is installed inside the fan chamber. The module housing contains a water replenishment baffle inside the empty compartment. A pipe support is installed at the upper end of the module housing, and a drip irrigation main pipe is installed at the upper end of the pipe support. Multiple drip irrigation outlet valves are installed at the lower end of the drip irrigation main pipe, and the multiple drip irrigation outlet valves are arranged horizontally and equidistantly. Multiple water storage groove baskets are installed at the end of the water replenishment baffle near the plant planting cup plate. A water guide vertical pipe is installed at the outer end of the water storage groove basket. An inner hollow groove is opened at the rear end of the water storage groove basket. An electric winding roller is installed at the inner end of the inner hollow groove, and water-guiding cotton thread is wound at the outer end of the electric winding roller.

[0007] In the aforementioned wall-mounted greening module with drip irrigation structure and air purification function, the module shell is spliced ​​and installed according to its surface area to create a reliable carrier for plant planting. The device is equipped with a gas circulation system consisting of a fan chamber and a fan mechanism. The fan can deliver or draw air to the module panel. When delivering air, an air pressure difference is formed within the module panel, driving the air to flow through the plastic matrix. The three-dimensional mesh-like soil aggregate structure, artificially domesticated microbial flora, and plant root microorganisms within the plastic matrix purify the air. When drawing air, it improves the gas circulation of the plant growth environment, promotes gas exchange in the indoor microenvironment, and is beneficial to plant growth. At the same time, it is also beneficial to the purification of the indoor microenvironment air.

[0008] As a further improvement to this application, multiple water guide vertical pipes are arranged in a vertically corresponding manner, and the module shell is mounted on a steel structure support.

[0009] As a further improvement to this application, the water-conducting cotton thread passes through the front and rear cavity sandwich plates and the mesh layer in sequence and extends into the plastic matrix.

[0010] As a further improvement of this application, the water-guiding cotton line includes a first cotton line, a second cotton line, and a third cotton line that are interconnected, and a spring is provided on one side of the water-guiding cotton line.

[0011] As another improvement of this application, the spring and the inner wall of the water storage groove are connected to each other, and the upper end of the hollow groove is provided with a through hole.

[0012] As a further improvement to this application, a sealing water-blocking ring is installed at the inner end of the penetrating inner hole, and a water-guiding cotton thread passes through the inner and outer positions of the sealing water-blocking ring.

[0013] As a further improvement to this application, the left and right ends of the water-guiding cotton thread are symmetrically provided with arc-shaped hooks, and one of the arc-shaped hooks is fixedly connected between the spring and the water-guiding cotton thread.

[0014] In summary, this technical solution involves first constructing a steel structure support frame during vertical wall construction, then assembling and installing the module shell according to its surface area. The device includes a gas circulation system composed of a fan chamber and a blower. The blower can supply or draw air to the module panels. When supplying air, a pressure difference is created within the module panels, driving airflow through the plastic matrix. The artificially acclimatized microorganisms and plant root microorganisms within the matrix purify the air. When drawing air, the gas circulation in the plant growth environment is improved, promoting gas exchange and benefiting plant growth. The plant planting cups are distributed with multiple planting cup rings, and the planting cups are placed within them according to the plan. Plants require water, and this solution uses a drip irrigation system consisting of a drip irrigation main pipe, drip irrigation outlet valve, water replenishment baffle, and water-conducting cotton thread. The drip irrigation main pipe is mounted on top of the module plate via a pipe support. Its multiple horizontally spaced drip irrigation outlets deliver water to a vertical water replenishment baffle, which stores a fixed amount of water. Water-conducting cotton threads connect the water replenishment baffle and the plastic substrate, guiding water through capillary action. This is controlled by an electrically wound roller, which can precisely adjust the winding amplitude of the water-conducting cotton threads according to the water requirements and growth stages of the plants. This allows the first, second, and third cotton threads with decreasing water-conducting strength to be distributed in the plastic substrate. This design can flexibly adapt to different water replenishment needs of plants on each module shell, ensuring that each plant receives a precise and appropriate water supply at each stage of its growth, thereby effectively improving the survival rate and growth quality of the plants.

[0023] The two embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] First implementation method:

[0025] Figure 1-3This invention illustrates a wall-mounted greening module with an air-purifying function and a drip irrigation structure. The module includes a housing 1, with multiple drainage holes 26 at both its upper and lower ends. The upper end of the housing 1 has a grooved structure for easy water storage, and a water-guiding slope is provided at the upper end to facilitate water flow towards the drainage holes 26. The material of the housing 1 includes, but is not limited to, weather-resistant PP plastic, and can also be a corrosion-resistant metal material, which the user can choose according to actual needs. A front and rear cavity sandwich plate 4 is fixedly connected to the front end of the housing 1, and the front end of the front and rear cavity sandwich plate 4 is fixedly connected to... The mesh layer 5 is made of nylon mesh, which has good air permeability and a certain strength to ensure air circulation. A plastic substrate 6 is fixedly connected to the front end of the mesh layer 5. The plastic substrate 6 is a solidified fiber soil, which can be one of the following: rock wool substrate, phenolic resin substrate, straw-based solidified substrate, or polyester fiber substrate. It has good air permeability, water retention, and fertility, providing a suitable environment for plant growth. It also filters and purifies the air flowing through it. Furthermore, in specific implementation, microbial inoculants can be added to the plastic substrate 6 as needed to further improve the air purification effect. The front end of the substrate 6 is provided with a plant planting cup plate 7, which is connected to the front and rear cavity sandwich plate 4 by threads. Multiple planting cup rings 8 are distributed at the front end of the plant planting cup plate 7. The left end of the module shell 1 is fixedly connected to the fan cavity 2, and the inner end of the fan cavity 2 is fixedly connected to the fan 3. The fan 3 is preferably a crossflow fan, but an axial flow fan can also be used. A water replenishment baffle 12 is fixedly connected to the empty chamber inside the module shell 1. A pipe support 10 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the module shell 1. A drip irrigation main pipe 9 is engaged at the upper end of the pipe support 10, and multiple drip irrigation outlet valves are fixedly connected at the lower end of the drip irrigation main pipe 9. The drip irrigation outlets 11 are arranged horizontally and equidistantly. The drip irrigation main pipe 9 serves as the main water supply pipe for the entire water replenishment system. It is securely installed above the module shell 1 via the pipe support 10 to replenish water. Meanwhile, the seepage holes 26 are located directly above and below the plastic substrate 6. The water flowing out of the drip irrigation main pipe 9 gathers at the upper end of the module shell 1 and then seeps into the plastic substrate 6 from top to bottom through the seepage holes 26. It also flows to the lower module shell 1 through the seepage holes 26 on the lower side, thus achieving simultaneous water replenishment of the plastic substrate 6 in the upper and lower module shell 1 through a single drip irrigation main pipe 9.

[0026] Figure 1-3This technical solution demonstrates that multiple module shells 1 are sequentially installed on a vertical wall using a steel structure support. First, the steel structure support is constructed. Based on the surface area of ​​the support, the corresponding module shells 1 are securely installed on the steel structure base by splicing. Adaptive connecting components are used to ensure sufficient strength and stability between the module shells 1 and the steel structure base to support the weight of subsequent components and plant growth. Next, the front and rear cavity sandwich panels 4, mesh layer 5, and plastic matrix 6 are stacked and assembled sequentially into the internal space of the module shells 1. During this process, the connections between components must be tight and sealed to prevent gas leakage or the entry of debris. Finally, the plant planting cup plate 7 is used to seal the entire structure. Throughout the installation process, professional locking devices are used to secure each module, ensuring a stable and reliable connection between modules. This creates a solid and suitable cylindrical structure for plant cultivation. Finally, this solution includes a fan chamber 2 and a fan 3. The gas circulation system, with the fan 3 as the core power component, can deliver or draw air to the module shell 1 with the assistance of the fan chamber 2. When the fan 3 delivers air, a certain pressure difference is formed inside the module shell 1. Driven by this pressure difference, the outside air flows orderly through the plastic matrix 6. The plastic matrix 6 is rich in various substances with adsorption and filtration functions, which can effectively intercept, adsorb and decompose harmful pollutants and suspended particles in the air, thereby achieving the air purification and filtration effect. Conversely, when the fan 3 draws air from the direction of the plant planting cup plate 7, the air also passes through the plastic matrix 6, achieving indoor air purification and effectively improving the gas circulation in the plant growth environment, promoting gas exchange around the plants, timely replenishing the carbon dioxide required for plant photosynthesis (a supplementary lighting device is installed indoors to provide light energy for the plants), and releasing oxygen, thereby improving the overall air quality and creating a more favorable gas environment for the healthy growth of plants.

[0027] Second implementation method:

[0028] Figure 1-6The water supply partition 12 is shown to have multiple water storage trays 24 fixedly connected to one end near the plant planting cup plate 7. Water-guiding vertical pipes 18 are fixedly connected to the outer ends of the water storage trays 24. A hollow inner groove 13 is opened at the rear end of the water storage tray 24. An electrically wound roller 14 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the hollow inner groove 13. Water-guiding cotton thread 15 is wound around the outer end of the electrically wound roller 14. The multiple water-guiding vertical pipes 18 are arranged vertically in a corresponding manner. The module shell 1 is fixedly installed on a steel structure support. The water-guiding cotton thread 15 passes through the front and rear cavities sequentially. The interlayer plate 4 and the mesh layer 5 extend into the plastic matrix 6. The water-guiding cotton line 15 includes a first cotton line 20, a second cotton line 21 and a third cotton line 22 that are connected to each other. A spring 25 is provided on one side of the water-guiding cotton line 15. The spring 25 and the inner wall of the water storage groove basket 24 are fixedly connected to each other. A through hole 16 is opened at the upper end of the inner hollow groove 13. Arc-shaped hooks 19 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the water-guiding cotton line 15, and one of the arc-shaped hooks 19 is fixedly connected between the spring 25 and the water-guiding cotton line 15.

[0029] Figure 1-6 The diagram shows multiple planting cup rings 8 evenly distributed on the plant planting cup plate 7. The plant planting cup plate 23 can be placed sequentially into the corresponding planting cup rings 8 according to the planting plan, providing a standardized and modular planting space for the plants. During the plant growth process, a stable and appropriate water supply is required. This solution adopts a drip irrigation water supply system consisting of a drip irrigation main pipe 9, a drip irrigation outlet valve 11, a water replenishment baffle 12, and a water-conducting cotton thread 15. The drip irrigation main pipe 9 serves as the main water supply pipe for the entire water supply system and is securely installed on the top via a pipe support 10. Above the multiple module housings 1 of the layer, multiple drip irrigation outlet valves 11 are evenly arranged on the drip irrigation main pipe 9. These drip irrigation outlet valves 11 are arranged in a horizontally equidistant manner, which can deliver the water in the drip irrigation main pipe 9 to the vertically arranged water replenishment baffles 12 inside the multiple module housings 1 with a stable flow rate and pressure. Each water replenishment baffle 12 has a specific water storage structure inside, and the water is precisely and quantitatively guided by multiple vertical water guide pipes 18, so that it can store a certain amount of water and conduct it, providing a stable water source guarantee for the subsequent water guiding process.

[0030] The water-conducting cotton thread 15, as a key water-conducting component connecting the water supply partition 12 and the plastic substrate 6, has one end in contact with the water in the water supply partition 12, and the other end extends into the plastic substrate 6 in the corresponding module shell 1. Automatic water conduction is achieved through capillary action. The water-conducting cotton thread 15 is connected and controlled by an electrically wound roller 14, which has a precise winding adjustment function. This function allows for precise adjustment of the winding amplitude of the water-conducting cotton thread 15 according to the water requirements and growth stages of different plants. In this way, the water-conducting... The first cotton thread 20, the second cotton thread 21, and the third cotton thread 22 in the cotton thread 15 are distributed in appropriate positions in the plastic matrix 6. Since the first cotton thread 20, the second cotton thread 21, and the third cotton thread 22 have differences in material, thickness, or structure, their water conductivity decreases in sequence. This design can flexibly adapt to different types of plants with different water replenishment needs on each module shell 1, ensuring that each part of the plant can obtain accurate and appropriate water supply at each stage of its growth, thereby effectively improving the survival rate and growth quality of the plants.

[0031] Figure 5 This invention illustrates a wall-mounted greening module with an air purification function and a drip irrigation structure. A sealing water-blocking ring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the penetrating inner hole 16. A water-guiding cotton thread 15 passes through the inner and outer positions of the sealing water-blocking ring 17. The sealing water-blocking ring 17 can effectively prevent water in the water storage groove basket 24 from leaking outward from the penetrating inner hole 16, ensuring the sealing of the water replenishment system, allowing water to be conducted in an orderly manner within the system, and avoiding problems such as water waste and water accumulation inside the module due to leakage.

[0032] Compared to Embodiment 1, this embodiment achieves different degrees of on-demand precise water replenishment for different plastic substrates 6 by adding the above-mentioned structure. However, it also increases the material cost. Therefore, those skilled in the art can selectively set the two embodiments according to the actual situation. For example, for cases where there are no strict requirements for water replenishment effect, the low-cost Embodiment 1 can be adopted; for plastic substrates 6 of cultivated plants that need to achieve different degrees of on-demand precise water replenishment effect, the more functional Embodiment 2 can be adopted.

[0033] In light of current practical needs, the above-described embodiments adopted in this application are not limited to this scope of protection. Any changes made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
