Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of greening engineering technology, and in particular to a modular vertical greening exterior wall. Background Technology
[0002] Due to the limited land area in cities, urban greening is relatively expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to make full use of urban space to improve the urban environment as much as possible. Vertical greening, as an effective means to improve the level of urban greening, can address the problem of urban space congestion and play a role in improving the urban ecological environment.
[0003] Vertical greening is typically installed vertically on the exterior wall surface using prefabricated construction technology, where individual greening modules are assembled onto the wall surface to form a green wall structure. Each greening module extends diagonally upwards with a hollow inner support for planting greenery. However, due to long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays and wind and rain, the support may become brittle and deformed. In addition, the weight of the greenery after absorbing water makes the support prone to breakage. Replacing the support requires disassembling some adjacent greening modules based on the location of the broken support, which is inconvenient. Therefore, this application proposes a new technical solution. Utility Model Content
[0004] To facilitate maintenance, this application provides a modular vertical greening exterior wall.
[0005] This application provides a modular vertical greening exterior wall, employing the following technical solution:
[0006] A modular vertical green wall includes multiple greening modules, a snap-fit structure for splicing the greening modules layer by layer, a support frame for fixing the spliced greening modules to the exterior wall surface, and an irrigation mechanism for watering the plants in the greening modules. It also includes a panel on each greening module and a fixing mechanism for detachably connecting the panel to the greening module. The panel surface is attached to the outer surface of the greening module. A support shell for supporting the plants is fixedly inserted through the panel. The support shell extends obliquely and is hollow inside with an opening at one end. The greening module has a groove obliquely opening that communicates with the inner cavity of the support shell. An inner cup for planting plants is placed inside the support shell. The inner cup has several through holes, and its bottom abuts against the bottom of the groove. Water permeable holes are through the top and bottom of the greening module, communicating with the groove. The irrigation mechanism has a water delivery end connected to a water permeable hole located at the top row of greening modules.
[0007] Optionally, the fixing mechanism includes a locking bar and multiple locking blocks. The locking bar is horizontally arranged and fixedly connected to the upper end of the greening module. A strip-shaped groove for the locking bar to pass through is opened through the upper end of the panel. Multiple locking blocks are arranged and fixed on the upper wall of the strip-shaped groove. A locking groove for the locking blocks to be engaged is opened on the upper surface of the locking bar.
[0008] Optionally, the upper end of the greening module is provided with an embedding groove, and the lower end of the greening module can be embedded and spliced into the embedding groove of the next layer of greening module. The buckle structure includes protruding ribs that are fixedly connected to both sides of the greening module and located at the lower end. The two side walls of the greening module located in the embedding groove are respectively provided with grooves for the protruding ribs to be inserted. The part of the greening module located in the side wall of the embedding groove is deformable. The upper edge of the inner side of the embedding groove is provided with a slope. The upper and lower edges of the protruding ribs are both provided with a rounded corner structure.
[0009] Optionally, a water-receiving block is provided below the bottommost greening module. The water-receiving block is a long strip structure that is hollow inside and open at the top. The upper edges on both sides of the water-receiving block extend inward with protruding edges, which slide into the protruding ridges of the bottommost greening modules.
[0010] Optionally, a locking block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper end of the support shell, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper end of the inner cup. The fixing block is hollow inside and opens at one end facing the support groove. A locking groove for the locking block to pass through is opened on the side wall of the fixing block facing the locking block. A limiting groove with a trapezoidal cross-section is opened along the upper edge of the locking groove. The maximum width of the limiting groove is smaller than the opening width of the locking groove. A clearance groove is opened on both sides of the end of the locking block so that the locking block can be locked into the limiting groove.
[0011] Optionally, the irrigation mechanism includes a water pipe, multiple drippers, and multiple drainage pipes. The water pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall surface through fittings and is located above the uppermost greening module. The drippers are fixedly inserted through pre-drilled water holes in the water pipe. One end of the drainage pipe is fixedly connected to the water outlet of the dripper, and the other end of the drainage pipe is inserted into a permeable hole located at the top of the uppermost greening module.
[0012] Optionally, the locking block is cone-shaped, and the locking groove has a triangular cross-section.

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0020] This application discloses a modular vertical greening exterior wall.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The modular vertical green wall includes multiple greening modules 1, a snap-fit structure 2, a support frame 3, an irrigation mechanism 4, a panel 5, and a fixing mechanism 6.
[0022] In this embodiment, the greening module 1 has a rectangular cross-section. The snap-fit structure 2 is used to splice the various greening modules 1 together. The support frame 3 can be used to vertically fix the spliced greening modules 1 to the outer wall surface using bolts. The irrigation mechanism 4 is used to irrigate the green plants in the greening module 1. The panel 5 is attached to the outer surface of each greening module 1 and is detachably connected to the outer surface of the greening module 1 by the fixing mechanism 6. The outer surface of the panel 5 is integrally formed with a support shell 51 that is inclined upwards. The support shell 51 is hollow inside and open at the end to support the green plants. The greening module 1 has a groove 52 that communicates with the inner cavity of the support shell 51 along an oblique direction.
[0023] Both the upper and lower ends of the greening module 1 are provided with water permeable holes 11 running longitudinally through them, and the water permeable holes 11 are connected to the support groove 52. The water permeable holes 11 between the upper greening module 1 and the lower greening module 1 are aligned. The irrigation mechanism 4 is provided with a water delivery end, and the water delivery end is connected to the upper water permeable hole 11 in the uppermost greening module 1, so that water can penetrate from the top layer through the water permeable holes 11 of each layer of greening module 1 to the lowermost greening module 1.
[0024] With the above settings, when the support shell 51 needs to be replaced, the panel 5 can be removed from the greening module 1 through the fixing mechanism 6, and the panel 5 with the new support shell 51 can be replaced. The panel 5 covers the outer surface of the greening module 1, which can also protect the greening module 1. This not only facilitates maintenance but also improves the service life of the greening module 1.
[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixing mechanism 6 includes a locking bar 61 and multiple locking blocks 62. The locking bar 61 is horizontally arranged and fixed to the upper end of the greening module 1. The upper end of the panel 5 has a horizontally penetrating groove 63 for the locking bar 61 to pass through. The upper ends of the multiple locking blocks 62 are arranged along the length of the groove 63 and fixed to the upper wall of the groove 63. The upper surface of the locking bar 61 has a longitudinally arranged locking groove for the locking blocks 62 to be inserted. The vertical length of the groove 63 is greater than the vertical length of the locking bar 61, so that the locking bar 61 can be inserted into the groove 63. Then, the panel 5 is moved down so that the locking blocks 62 are inserted into the locking groove. In this embodiment, the locking blocks 62 are conical and the cross-section of the locking groove is triangular, which makes it easy to move the locking blocks 62 into the locking groove. Under the gravity of the green plants, the groove 63 of the panel 5 can be tightly pressed against the locking bar 61, and it is also convenient to disassemble the panel 5.
[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 To facilitate planting or replacing greenery, an inner cup 7 for planting greenery is placed inside the support shell 51. Several through holes 71 are opened through the side wall of the inner cup 7, and the bottom of the inner cup 7 abuts against the bottom of the support groove 52, so that water can seep into the soil in the inner cup 7 through the through holes 71. Thus, before installing the green wall, greenery can be pre-planted in the inner cup 7. After the greening module 1 is assembled, the inner cup 7 with planted greenery can be easily placed into the support shell 51.
[0027] To increase the stability between the inner cup 7 and the support shell 51, a locking block 8 is fixed to the upper inner wall of the support shell 51, and a fixing block 9 is fixed to the upper outer wall of the inner cup 7. The fixing block 9 is hollow inside and has an opening at one end facing the support groove 52. A locking groove 91 for the locking block 8 to pass through is provided through the side wall of the fixing block 9 facing the locking block 8. A limiting groove 92 with an isosceles trapezoidal cross section is provided at the upper edge of the locking groove 91. The maximum width of the limiting groove 92 is less than the opening width of the locking groove 91. As a result, inclined clearance grooves 81 are provided on both sides of the end of the locking block 8. When the inner cup 7 is placed into the support shell 51, the locking block 8 is first moved into the locking groove 91, and then the clearance grooves 81 of the locking block 8 are moved into the limiting groove 92, so that the limiting groove 92 can hook the end of the locking block 8, thereby fixing the fixing block 9 and the locking block 8.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The method of splicing the greening modules 1 is described as follows:
[0029] The upper end of the greening module 1 has an embedding groove 12 along the longitudinal direction. The lower end of the greening module 1 can be embedded and spliced into the embedding groove 12 of the lower greening module 1. The snap-fit structure 2 includes protruding ribs that are fixedly connected to both sides of the greening module 1, and the protruding ribs are located at the lower end of the greening module 1. Correspondingly, the side walls of the greening module 1 on both sides of the embedding groove 12 are respectively provided with grooves 21 for the protruding ribs to be inserted. It should be noted that the part of the greening module 1 located on the side wall of the embedding groove 12 is deformable. Specifically, it can be made of plastic material, so that the elastic deformation of the plastic can be used to make the protruding ribs be inserted into the grooves 21.
[0030] In order to make the protrusion fit into the groove 21 more smoothly, the upper edge of the inner side of the groove 12 is provided with a bevel, and the upper and lower edges of the protrusion are both rounded, so as to facilitate the protrusion to move into or out of the groove 21.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 The irrigation mechanism 4 includes a water pipe 41, multiple drippers 42, and multiple drainage pipes 43. The water pipe 41 is fixed to the outer wall surface by fittings and is located above the uppermost greening module 1. The multiple drippers 42 are arranged along the length of the water pipe 41. The water inlet end of the dripper 42 is fixedly inserted into a pre-drilled water hole on the lower surface of the water pipe 41, and the water outlet end of the dripper 42 is fixedly inserted into the upper end of the drainage pipe 43. The lower end of the drainage pipe 43 is inserted into a permeable hole 11 located at the upper end of the uppermost greening module 1. In this embodiment, the dripper 42 adopts the pressure compensated (PC) dripper 42 of the prior art. The water pipe 41 is connected to a preset water supply system. Since the water supply system is a conventional technology and is not the focus of this application, it will not be described in detail here.
[0032] Reference Figure 3Considering that water will flow out from the permeable holes 11 of the bottom green module 1, which may easily dirty the ground, a water-receiving block 10 is detachably located below the bottom green module 1. The water-receiving block 10 is a long strip structure with a hollow interior and an open top. In order to facilitate the connection of the water-receiving block 10 to the lower end of the green module 1, the upper edges on both sides of the water-receiving block 10 are curved inward and have protruding edges. The protruding edges slide into the protruding edges of the bottom green modules 1, thereby fixing the water-receiving block 10 to the green module 1. At the same time, no tools or parts are needed. When needed, the water-receiving block 10 can be easily removed to pour out the accumulated water.
[0033] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
