Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building engineering technology, and in particular to a vertically extended structure for a single household space and garden. Background Technology

[0002] The fourth generation of housing, also known as courtyard houses, vertical garden eco-housing, or urban forest garden architecture, is characterized by each household having a private outdoor courtyard. Through innovative architectural design, green plants, gardens, and even small trees are introduced into high-rise buildings, aiming to realize the vision of having a rooftop garden for every household.

[0003] While rooftop gardens can enhance the landscape, they face challenges in practical applications due to their location suspended high above building facades or rooftops, with planting areas detached from the natural ground surface and some greenery distributed vertically. These challenges include low irrigation efficiency and difficult drainage. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vertically extended structure of a single household space and garden, which improves the irrigation efficiency of the rooftop garden and reduces the drainage difficulty by optimizing the zoning and pipe layout of the rooftop garden.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a vertically extended structure of a single household space and garden, including: the main body of the house, a roof garden and an irrigation system;

[0006] The main body of the house has living space and a rooftop;

[0007] The rooftop garden is supported by the main body of the building. The rooftop garden includes a first planting area, a second planting area and a third planting area. The first planting area is laid on the horizontal surface of the rooftop. The first planting area, the second planting area and the third planting area are connected in sequence along the irrigation direction. The third planting area, the second planting area and the first planting area are arranged in a gradient along the height direction of the main body of the building.

[0008] The irrigation system includes multiple drainage pipes laid on the planting surface of the rooftop garden, which extend along the irrigation direction and connect to a sewer inlet located on the ground.

[0009] Furthermore, the second planting area is laid on the rooftop and extends downwards at an angle close to the eaves.

[0010] Furthermore, the third planting area is laid on the exterior wall facade of the main body of the house.

[0011] Furthermore, some of the drainage pipes are distributed at intervals along the length of the first planting area or the second planting area, and some of the drainage pipes are distributed at intervals along the width of the first planting area or the second planting area.

[0012] Furthermore, some of the drainage pipes are distributed at intervals along the length of the third planting area.

[0013] Furthermore, there are multiple second planting areas and multiple third planting areas, with multiple second planting areas distributed at intervals around the outer periphery of the first planting area, and multiple third planting areas distributed at intervals around the outer periphery of the first planting area.

[0014] Furthermore, the vertically extended structure of a single-family space and garden also includes multiple water storage tanks, each of which is located at the connection between one of the second planting areas and the third planting area.

[0015] Furthermore, the vertically extending structure of a single-family home and garden also includes a staircase. The staircase is located outside the living space and is supported by the main body of the house. The staircase includes multiple stair segments that are connected end to end and have an alternating upward trend along the height direction of the main body of the house. The stair segment at the top of the staircase connects to the rooftop.

[0016] Furthermore, a reversing platform is provided at the junction of any two of the stepped segments, and the vertically extended structure of a family-household space and garden also includes multiple fourth planting areas, with any one of the fourth planting areas located on any one of the reversing platforms.

[0017] Furthermore, the vertically extended structure of a single-family home and garden also includes an entrance garden and a central courtyard, which are connected by a corridor, and the staircase is located in the central courtyard.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. Based on the fact that the rooftop garden is supported by the main building structure, the rooftop garden includes a first planting area, a second planting area, and a third planting area. The first planting area is laid out on the horizontal plane of the rooftop. The first, second, and third planting areas are connected sequentially along the irrigation direction, and the third, second, and first planting areas are arranged in a gradient along the height direction of the main building structure. It can be understood that the planting areas of the rooftop garden are distributed at different heights, with the first planting area located at the highest point. This three-dimensional layout gives the rooftop garden a rich visual aesthetic. The stepped structure of the third, second, and first planting areas effectively avoids mutual shading between plants, ensuring that each planting area receives ample sunlight from multiple angles, which is beneficial to plant growth. At the same time, this stepped layout forms a natural water flow gradient, providing favorable conditions for efficient irrigation and drainage.

[0020] 2. The irrigation system includes multiple drainage pipes laid on the surface of the rooftop garden. These drainage pipes extend along the irrigation direction and connect to a sewer inlet located on the surface. It is understood that because the rooftop garden adopts a gradient layout from high to low, a natural water flow is formed. Therefore, laying drainage pipes along the irrigation direction can quickly draw water according to the terrain. The water flows from the first planting area through the second and third planting areas and finally into the sewer. This drainage structure significantly improves irrigation efficiency by enhancing water resource utilization, and effectively prevents water accumulation from damaging plant roots and the building structure.

The terminology used herein in the specification of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a vertically extended structure of a single-family home and garden, comprising: a main house 1, a rooftop garden 2, and an irrigation system 3;

[0029] The main body of the house 1 has a living space 11 and a rooftop 12;

[0030] The rooftop garden 2 is supported by the main building 1. The rooftop garden 2 includes a first planting area 21, a second planting area 22 and a third planting area 23. The first planting area 21 is laid on the horizontal surface of the rooftop 12. The first planting area 21, the second planting area 22 and the third planting area 23 are connected sequentially along the irrigation direction. The third planting area 23, the second planting area 22 and the first planting area 21 are arranged in a gradient along the height direction of the main building 1.

[0031] The irrigation system 3 includes multiple drainage pipes 31, which are laid on the planting surface of the rooftop garden 2 and extend along the irrigation direction to connect to a sewer inlet located on the ground.

[0032] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The stepped layout of the rooftop garden 2 and the path of the drainage pipes 31 are aligned to achieve efficient irrigation and drainage. The process is as follows: Irrigation or natural rainfall first acts on the highest planting area 21, and then flows naturally down the stepped structure under gravity, passing through the second planting area 22 and the third planting area 23 in sequence. The drainage pipes 31, laid on the planting surface of each planting area and extending along the irrigation direction, can quickly collect water and guide it step by step because they follow the water flow path. Finally, the collected excess water or rainwater is discharged into the sewer through the drainage channel 31 located in the third planting area 23.

[0033] Based on the fact that the main body of the house 1 has a living space 11 and a rooftop 12; it can be understood that the living space 11 is divided into an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and functional areas. These functional areas are mainly used as bedrooms, but can also be flexibly converted (e.g., a study, a gym, or a storage room). The rooftop 12 is located on the roof of the main body of the house 1, and railings need to be installed at the edges of the rooftop 12 to ensure safety.

[0034] Based on the fact that the rooftop garden 2 is supported by the main building 1, the rooftop garden 2 includes a first planting area 21, a second planting area 22, and a third planting area 23. The first planting area 21 is laid on the horizontal plane of the rooftop 12. The first planting area 21, the second planting area 22, and the third planting area 23 are connected sequentially along the irrigation direction, and the third planting area 23, the second planting area 22, and the first planting area 21 are arranged in a gradient along the height direction of the main building 1. It can be understood that the planting areas of the rooftop garden 2 are distributed at different heights, with the first planting area 21 located at the highest point. This three-dimensional layout gives the rooftop garden 2 a rich visual aesthetic. The stepped structure of the third planting area 23, the second planting area 22, and the first planting area 21 effectively avoids mutual shading between plants, ensuring that each planting area receives sufficient sunlight from multiple angles, which is conducive to plant growth. At the same time, this stepped layout forms a natural water flow gradient, providing favorable conditions for efficient irrigation and drainage.

[0035] It should be noted that the first planting area 21 does not cover the entire rooftop 12, but rather reserves part of the space as a viewing platform. This design not only allows users to appreciate the three-dimensional landscape of the entire garden, but also provides an open and expansive view, significantly enhancing the living experience and spatial quality.

[0036] The irrigation system 3 includes multiple drainage pipes 31 laid on the surface of the rooftop garden 2. These pipes extend along the irrigation direction and connect to the sewer inlets located on the ground. It is understood that because the rooftop garden 2 adopts a gradient layout from high to low, a natural water flow is formed. Therefore, laying drainage pipes 31 along the irrigation direction allows for rapid water diversion following the terrain. The water flows from the first planting area 21 through the second planting area 22 and the third planting area 23, ultimately flowing into the sewer. This drainage structure significantly improves irrigation efficiency by enhancing water resource utilization and effectively prevents water accumulation from damaging plant roots and the building structure. The drainage pipes 31 directly connect to the sewer inlets, efficiently draining the collected water, reducing the pressure on the roof's waterproofing, and preventing rainwater or irrigation wastewater from overflowing, thus maintaining the cleanliness and aesthetics of the rooftop garden 2.

[0037] In addition, since the pipeline is laid in the shallow ground, any blockage or damage can be quickly located and repaired, greatly reducing the difficulty of later maintenance.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, preferably, the second planting area 22 is laid on the rooftop 12 and extends downwards at an angle close to the eaves. It can be understood that because the second planting area 22 extends downwards at an angle from the rooftop 12 towards the eaves, its slope effectively guides irrigation water or natural rainfall towards the third planting area 23, strengthening the drainage trend of the entire stepped layout and improving water resource utilization efficiency. At the same time, the sloping planting surface visually enhances the dynamic aesthetics of the three-dimensional greening.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, the third planting area 23 is laid on the exterior wall 13 of the main building 1. It can be understood that this design makes full use of the vertical space of the main building 1, further enhancing the three-dimensionality of the rooftop garden 2. By directly laying the third planting area 23 on the exterior wall 13, the green coverage rate is increased without occupying additional ground area.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, preferably, some of the drainage pipes 31 are distributed at intervals along the length of the first planting area 21 or the second planting area 22, and some of the drainage pipes 31 are distributed at intervals along the width of the first planting area 21 or the second planting area 22. It can be understood that the crisscrossing drainage pipes 31 constitute a grid-like irrigation system 3, ensuring that both natural rainfall and irrigation wastewater can be quickly captured and diverted by the nearest drainage pipe 31, avoiding localized waterlogging and ensuring healthy plant growth.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, preferably, some of the drainage pipes 31 are distributed at intervals along the length of the third planting area 23. It can be understood that these drainage pipes 31 located in the third planting area 23 not only serve to collect and guide water at multiple points, but can also be considered as a series of planting guidance units. The greenery in the third planting area 23 is arranged at intervals following the drainage direction of the pipes, so that the growth arrangement of the plants blends with the drainage path, forming an orderly landscape and naturally enhancing the irrigation effect through the water flow direction.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, preferably, there are multiple second planting areas 22 and multiple third planting areas 23. Multiple second planting areas 22 are distributed at intervals around the outer perimeter of the first planting area 21, and multiple third planting areas 23 are distributed at intervals around the outer perimeter of the first planting area 21. It can be understood that this design constructs a three-dimensional spatial garden with the first planting area 21 as the core, and multiple second planting areas 22 and third planting areas 23 arranged in an intermittent, surrounding layout. This ensures that the main body of the house 1 is surrounded by plants from top to bottom, forming a richer and more balanced ecological landscape, improving space utilization efficiency while enriching the visual effect.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, the vertically extending structure of a single-family space and garden also includes multiple water storage tanks 4, with any one of the water storage tanks 4 located at the connection point between any of the second planting area 22 and the third planting area 23. It is understood that water, whether from irrigation drainage or rainfall, tends to accumulate at the connection point of the second planting area 22 (i.e., the eaves). The function of the water storage tank 4 is to temporarily store excess irrigation water or rainwater flowing down from the second planting area 22, thereby slowing down the drainage speed to the third planting area 23, relieving drainage pressure, and reducing the risk of water accumulation in the third planting area 23.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, the vertically extending structure of a single-family home and garden also includes a staircase 5. The staircase 5 is located outside the living space 11 and supported by the main building 1. The staircase 5 includes multiple stair segments 51, which are connected end-to-end and have an alternating upward trend along the height of the main building 1. The stair segment 51 at the top of the staircase 5 connects to the rooftop 12. It can be understood that by providing the staircase 5, a convenient vertical transportation path is provided for the residents, enabling them to easily reach the rooftop 12 and perform daily maintenance or enjoyment of the rooftop garden 2.

[0045] like Figure 2As shown, preferably, a reversing platform 52 is provided at the junction of any two of the staircase segments 51. The vertically extended structure of a single-family home space and garden also includes multiple fourth planting areas 24, each of which is located on one of the reversing platforms 52. It can be understood that setting up fourth planting areas 24 on the reversing platforms 52 not only makes efficient use of the unused space of the staircase 5, but also allows green elements to appear alternately along the path of the staircase 5, further integrating the rooftop garden 2 into the living space 11.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the vertically extended structure of a single-family home and garden also includes an entrance garden 6 and a central courtyard 7, which are connected by a corridor 8. The staircase 5 is located in the central courtyard 7. It can be understood that residents can enjoy the view as soon as they step into the entrance garden 6, enhancing the sense of ritual upon returning home. The entrance garden 6 can also be used as a parking space. The introduction of the central courtyard 7 not only provides the house with better lighting and ventilation but also offers residents ample activity space and diverse viewing angles, truly realizing the vertical extension of the home and garden.
