[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building decoration technology, specifically an ecological module for decorating the exterior of buildings. Background Technology

[0002] Planting vegetation on building facades can not only beautify the building's appearance and alleviate the urban heat island effect, but also purify the air, reduce noise, and improve the quality of the urban ecological environment.

[0003] However, existing ecological modules mostly adopt fixed splicing structures, making it difficult to achieve diverse combinations of facade shapes. They generally use conventional sprinkler irrigation on a regular basis, which is prone to irrigation blind spots and can easily cause local over-wetting or drought. Moreover, existing ecological modules generally only have basic greening functions and lack the creation of habitats for insects and other organisms, making it impossible to form a complete ecological cycle system and thus failing to achieve the comprehensive benefits of improving urban micro-ecology and promoting biodiversity.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide an eco-friendly module for decorating building facades. Utility Model Content

[0026] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] To address the issue that existing ecological modules mostly employ fixed splicing structures, making it difficult to achieve diverse combinations of shapes, please refer to... Figures 1-2 , Figure 4The present invention provides an ecological module for decorating the exterior of a building, including an ecological box 1 installed on the exterior of the building. An ecological bridge 2 is hinged to the bottom of the ecological box 1. Two adjacent ecological boxes 1 are connected to each other through the ecological bridge 2 to form an exterior decoration structure with different geometric shapes or artistic patterns. The top of the ecological box 1 is provided with a plurality of first planting troughs 103, and the top of the ecological bridge 2 is provided with a plurality of second planting troughs 201.

[0029] The top two ends of the ecological box 1 are fixedly provided with upper support ears 101, and the bottom middle of the ecological box 1 is fixedly provided with lower support ears 102. The upper support ears 101 and lower support ears 102 are respectively connected to the corresponding ends of the ecological bridge 2 through a hinge structure to ensure that the connection between the ecological boxes 1 is stable and has flexible splicing.

[0030] The ecological box 1 has a rotating cylinder 104 inside its internal cavity. Multiple third planting troughs 104a are evenly distributed on the surface of the rotating cylinder 104. A drive unit 104b is located below the rotating cylinder 104 to drive its rotation, enabling the exposure and irrigation of different third planting troughs 104a. An insect platform is located on the top of the rotating cylinder 104. When the drive unit 104b is activated, it drives the rotating cylinder 104 to rotate, causing the evenly distributed third planting troughs 104a on its surface to rotate accordingly. When irrigation is needed for plants in a third planting trough 104a, the drive unit 104b controls the rotating drum 104 to rotate the third planting trough 104a to the position below the corresponding second drip hole 108. Water flows through the second drip hole 108 to complete irrigation. The rotating drum 104 increases the utilization rate of the planting space inside the ecological box 1, allowing for the planting of more plant species and enriching the landscape layers. Corresponding materials, such as wood chips, bamboo tubes, and pebbles, are laid on the insect platform, allowing insects to rest, drink, and forage on the platform, further enhancing the biodiversity of the ecological module, providing insects with additional habitat and activity space, and enriching the ecosystem of the building facade.

[0031] The eco-box 1 is connected to adjacent eco-boxes 1 via a bottom-hinged eco-bridge 2. Utilizing the rotational characteristics of the hinged structure, multiple eco-boxes 1 and eco-bridges 2 can be freely combined into different geometric shapes or artistic patterns. LED light strips can be embedded in the surfaces of both eco-boxes 1 and eco-bridges 2, creating unique light and shadow effects at night. During installation, first fix the eco-box 1 to the building facade, using methods such as pre-embedded, hanging, magnetic, or other installation methods, ensuring a stable installation of the eco-box 1. When using a hanging installation method, weld an L-shaped metal bracket to the back of the eco-box 1. Meanwhile, U-shaped slots matching the L-shaped metal brackets are fixed to the building facade with expansion bolts. The L-shaped metal brackets of the ecological box 1 are inserted into the U-shaped slots, and then reinforced with bolts. After the ecological box 1 is installed, the ecological boxes 1 are connected end to end by ecological bridge 2. The angle and position can be adjusted according to the design requirements to complete the splicing. It is suitable for personalized architectural designs, such as splicing into wave shapes, geometric matrices, animal outlines and other shapes. Users can choose different combination schemes according to the architectural style, which solves the problem that the existing building facade decoration is difficult to balance aesthetics and ecological function.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Based on Example 1, in order to address the problem that existing ecological modules often use sprinkler irrigation for plants, which can easily lead to localized over-wetting or drought and result in less than ideal irrigation effects, such as... Figures 2-3 , Figures 5-6 As shown, the top of the ecological box 1 is also equipped with a ring-shaped irrigation channel 106, and the top of the ecological bridge 2 is also equipped with a linear irrigation channel 203. The ring-shaped irrigation channel 106 and the linear irrigation channel 203 form a three-dimensional irrigation structure for drip irrigation of the first planting trough 103 and the second planting trough 201. The ring-shaped channel design makes the irrigation coverage more comprehensive, ensuring that each planting trough receives water evenly, while the symmetrically distributed linear channels ensure that the plants in each planting trough receive water evenly on both sides, promoting balanced plant growth.

[0034] The annular irrigation channel 106 has a first drip hole 107 on its side wall for drip irrigation of plants in the first planting trough 103, and a second drip hole 108 on its bottom surface for drip irrigation of plants in the third planting trough 104a. The annular irrigation channel 106 also has an overflow outlet 109 on its side wall, and an outlet 110 at the bottom of the ecological box 1. A water conveying channel is provided between the overflow outlet 109 and the outlet 110.

[0035] Two linear irrigation channels 203 are provided, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the second planting trough 201, for receiving the water flow discharged from the outlet 110 of the ecological box 1 above; the linear irrigation channel 203 includes a water storage chamber 203a and a flow guiding chamber 203b. The lower end of the water storage chamber 203a is closed, and the upper end is connected to the flow guiding chamber 203b. The side wall of the water storage chamber 203a is provided with a third drip hole 203c for drip irrigation of the plants in the second planting trough 201.

[0036] During irrigation, external water sources, such as municipal water supply or rainwater harvesting systems, are delivered through water pipelines to the annular irrigation channel 106 at the top of the uppermost ecological box 1. The water flows evenly along the annular channel and continues to be injected until the channel is completely filled. When the water level in the annular irrigation channel 106 exceeds the design threshold, excess water overflows through the overflow outlet 109 and is guided by the built-in water delivery channel, eventually being discharged from the outlet 110 at the bottom of the ecological box 1. The water discharged from the outlet 110 of the ecological box 1 flows directly into the guide cavity 203b at the top of the lower ecological bridge 2. After being guided by the guide cavity 203b, the water flows into the water storage cavity 203a until the water storage cavity 203a is filled. Then, excess water flows through the guide cavity 203b into the annular irrigation channel 106 of the lower ecological box 1, completing the relay transmission of irrigation water and realizing continuous irrigation of the multi-layer ecological modules.

[0037] Drip irrigation delivers water slowly to the plant roots in the planting trough through drip holes, achieving precise irrigation and improving irrigation efficiency. The three-dimensional irrigation structure ensures even water delivery, avoiding localized over-wetting or drought, and improving plant survival rates. Drip irrigation saves water compared to traditional flood irrigation, reducing water waste.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] Based on Examples 1 and 2, in order to address the problems of low efficiency in plant disease and pest control, serious waste of pesticides, and difficulty in achieving long-term ecological protection in existing ecological modules, such as... Figures 2-5 As shown, the top of the ecological bridge 2 is symmetrically provided with linear liquid flow channels 202 on both sides of the second planting trough 201. The linear liquid flow channels 202 are open trough structures. The top of the ecological box 1 is provided with an annular liquid flow channel 105, which is a closed trough structure. The linear liquid flow channels 202 and the annular liquid flow channels 105 form a three-dimensional liquid delivery structure, which is used to attach the liquid to the surface of the annular liquid flow channels 105 and the linear liquid flow channels 202 to achieve insect repellency or insect attraction.

[0040] The inner cavity of the ecological box 1 is also provided with a medicine component 3 for supplying medicine to the linear medicine flow channel 202; the medicine component 3 includes a medicine storage tank 301, a water pump 302 and a medicine output pipe 303 installed on the water pump 302, and the end of the medicine output pipe 303 extends to the top of the linear medicine flow channel 202.

[0041] When the pesticide component 3 is activated, the pesticide is transported to the linear pesticide channel 202 and flows along the tank under gravity, so that the pesticide is evenly attached to the surface of the tank to form a pesticide film. As the pesticide continues to flow, the excess part flows into the annular pesticide channel 105 of the ecological box 1 below, completing the three-dimensional pesticide attachment process. The insect repellent or insect attractant pesticide attached to the surface of the channel plays its corresponding role by evaporating odor or releasing attractant substances. Compared with the traditional spraying method, this three-dimensional pesticide delivery structure achieves precise attachment and long-term release of pesticide, reducing pesticide waste and drift pollution.

[0042] The above-described embodiments are merely one implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
