Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a partition unit that is installed outdoors or semi-outdoors. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, outdoor and semi-outdoor greening has been achieved by planting plants directly on the ground or in planters placed on the floor in outdoor areas such as rooftops of buildings such as office buildings and apartment complexes, or semi-outdoor areas such as shared verandas that are not private areas (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).
[0003] Patent Document 1 listed below discloses a facility for greening a rooftop by placing a plurality of planters on the floor surface of a building, such as the rooftop, and growing plants in the planters. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-72194 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] However, even for plants planted outdoors or semi-outdoors for greening purposes, there are cases where it is desirable to restrict human access for management reasons. For example, when multiple planters are installed on part of the roof of an apartment building or the like to be used as a vegetable garden for growing vegetables and fruits, it is necessary to restrict human access so that people other than the growers cannot touch the cultivated objects (vegetables and fruits).
[0006] However, there has been no partition unit that can separate a specific space outdoors or semi-outdoors so that plants can be grown inside. Therefore, even if a part of the rooftop space of a building is to be used as a rental vegetable garden, it is not possible to restrict people's access to the vegetable garden.
[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of these points, and its purpose is to provide a partition unit that partitions a specific space outdoors or semi-outdoors in such a way that access to the interior can be restricted while allowing plants to be grown inside. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this invention partitions an outdoor or semi-outdoor rectangular space in plan view with four wall sections, provides a lockable door to restrict access to the interior space, does not have a ceiling, provides louvers on the opposing wall sections, and provides openings through which water supply pipes and electrical wiring can be inserted.
[0009] Specifically, the first invention is a partition unit that divides an internal space that is rectangular in plan view and is located outdoors or semi-outdoors, and is equipped with four wall portions that close off the four sides of the internal space, and each of the wall portions has three or more pillars that are erected at intervals, a plurality of upper rails that connect the upper ends of each two adjacent pillars, and a plurality of panel members that cover the underside of the upper rails between each two adjacent pillars, and at the corners of each of two adjacent wall portions, the two wall portions share one of the pillars, at least one of the plurality of panel members is composed of a lockable door, and at least one of the wall portions of at least one pair of wall portions consisting of two opposing wall portions is composed of a louver, and an opening is formed below at least one of the plurality of panel members other than the door, between the installation surface and the lower part.
[0010] According to the partition unit of the first invention, a specific outdoor or semi-outdoor space can be partitioned in a manner that restricts access to the interior using four wall sections, one of which is a lockable door. Furthermore, the partition unit does not have a ceiling, allowing sufficient sunlight to enter the interior space, and louvers are provided on the two opposing wall sections, ensuring ventilation to the interior space. Furthermore, the partition unit has openings in advance through which water supply pipes and electrical wiring can be inserted, making it easy to install water supply equipment, lighting, and other electrical equipment in the interior space. In other words, the partition unit can partition an outdoor or semi-outdoor environment (internal space) that is suitable for growing plants and has excellent lighting and ventilation, while restricting access to the interior.
[0011] A second invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the opening is formed below all of the plurality of panel members other than the door.
[0012] According to the second invention, openings through which water supply pipes and electrical wiring can be inserted are provided around the entire periphery of the interior space, so that the water supply pipes and electrical wiring can be taken out from openings close to the faucet or power source, eliminating the need to route the water supply pipes and electrical wiring unnecessarily.
[0013] The third invention is the second invention, characterized in that, below all of the plurality of panel panels other than the door, a lower rail is provided connecting the two pillars on both sides of the panel panel, and below all of the lower rails, a reinforcing rail is provided connecting the lower ends of the two pillars to which the lower rails connect, and the opening is formed between the lower rail and the reinforcing rail.
[0014] In the third aspect of the present invention, openings through which the water supply pipe and electrical wiring can be inserted can be easily formed simply by providing reinforcing bars below the lower bars at predetermined intervals.
[0015] The fourth invention is characterized in that, in any one of the first to third inventions, all of the surface materials other than the door among the plurality of surface materials are made up of louvers, and the door panel of the door is made up of louvers.
[0016] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, louvers are provided around the entire periphery of the interior space, which provides excellent ventilation in the interior space.
[0017] A fifth invention is characterized in that in any one of the first to third inventions, the plurality of face materials all have the same outer dimensions.
[0018] In the fifth aspect of the invention, the multiple panel members are all configured to have the same external dimensions. Therefore, when installing a partition unit near a wall on a rooftop or other surface, the direction in which ventilation can be ensured may be fixed. However, by configuring the multiple panel members so that their external dimensions are all the same, the position of the louvers can be freely changed to suit the environment of the installation site. In this way, according to the fifth aspect of the invention, panel members can be easily replaced, making it possible to easily and reliably ensure ventilation. [Effects of the Invention]
[0019] As described above, the partition unit of the present invention partitions an interior space that is rectangular in plan view and is used outdoors or semi-outdoors with four wall surfaces, is provided with a lockable door to restrict access to the interior space, has no ceiling, provides louvers on the opposing wall surfaces, and provides openings through which water supply pipes and electrical wiring can be inserted. Therefore, the present invention can provide a partition unit that partitions a specific space outdoors or semi-outdoors in such a way that access to the interior can be restricted while allowing plants to be grown inside.

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are merely preferred examples in nature and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, its applications, or its uses.
[0022] First Embodiment of the Invention 1 shows a partition unit 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This partition unit 1 is installed outdoors, such as on the roof of an office building or an apartment building, or semi-outdoors, such as on a veranda, and partitions a specific space so that plants can be grown inside.
[0023] -composition- As shown by the arrows in Figure 1, in the following explanation, the direction from the top right to the bottom left in Figure 1 is referred to as "front," the direction from the bottom left to the top right is referred to as "back," the direction from the bottom right to the top left is referred to as "left," and the direction from the top left to the bottom right is referred to as "right," with up and down being as per the page.
[0024] As shown in Figure 1, the partition unit 1 comprises four wall portions 10 that close off the four sides of an internal space S that is rectangular in plan view, a beam portion 20 that connects the upper ends of the four wall portions 10, and a base portion 30 that is provided below and supports the four wall portions 10.
[0025] [Wall section] The four wall portions 10 are composed of a first wall portion 11 that blocks the front of the internal space S, a second wall portion 12 that blocks the back, a third wall portion 13 that blocks the left side, and a fourth wall portion 14 that blocks the right side.
[0026] Each wall portion 10 has four pillars 15, three upper rails 16 connecting the upper ends of each pair of adjacent pillars 15, and three panel members 17 covering the lower portions of the upper rails 16 between each pair of adjacent pillars 15. At the corners of each pair of adjacent wall portions 10 (the first wall portion 11 and the third wall portion 13, the third wall portion 13 and the second wall portion 12, the second wall portion 12 and the fourth wall portion 14, and the fourth wall portion 14 and the first wall portion 11), the two wall portions 10 share one pillar 15. That is, in the first embodiment, the partition unit 1 has twelve pillars 15 and twelve upper rails 16, and twelve panel members 17. In the first embodiment, the middle panel member 17 of the three panel members 17 of the first wall portion 11 is formed by a door D.
[0027] The 12 pillars 15 are hollow metal square timbers (80 mm × 80 mm × 2091 mm in this embodiment 1), and are erected in a matrix with three pillars spaced apart in the front-to-back (vertical) and left-to-right (horizontal) directions, and the positions of the pillars 15 on opposing wall surfaces 10 are aligned. In this embodiment 1, the four pillars 15 on each of the first wall surface 11 and the second wall surface 12 are arranged so that the pitch (center-to-center) between the two inner pillars 15 is 940 mm and the pitch (center-to-center) between the two outer pillars 15 is 1000 mm. On the other hand, the four pillars 15 on each of the third wall surface 13 and the fourth wall surface 14 are all arranged so that the pitch (center-to-center) is 1000 mm. In other words, in this embodiment 1, the pitch (center to center) of the two pillars 15 on both sides of the central panel 17 of the first wall portion 11 formed by the door D and the pitch (center to center) of the two pillars 15 on both sides of the panel 17 facing the door D of the second wall portion 12 are slightly shorter than the pitch (center to center) of each of the other two adjacent pillars 15.
[0028] Of the 12 upper rails 16, all of the upper rails 16 other than the upper rail 16 above door D are made of hollow metal square bars measuring approximately 50 mm x 30 mm or square bar-like members with the inner and outer surfaces of the hollow metal square bars measuring approximately 50 mm x 30 mm projecting downward by approximately 10 mm, and are fixed to two adjacent pillars 15 so as to connect the upper ends of each pair of pillars 15. The above-mentioned inner surface portion refers to the surface portion that becomes the inner surface of the partition unit 1, and the outer surface portion refers to the surface portion that becomes the outer surface of the partition unit 1. The upper end of a panel member 17 made of glass, which will be described later, is fixed to the upper rails 16 made of square bars, and the upper end of a panel member 17 made of louvers, which will be described later, is fitted and fixed between the projecting portions of the inner and outer surfaces of the upper rails 16 made of square bar-like members. On the other hand, the upper rails 16 provided above the door D are made of hollow metal square bars (50 mm x 100 mm in this embodiment 1), and are fixed to the two pillars 15 in the first wall portion 11 so as to connect the upper ends of the two pillars 15. The twelve upper rails 16 are provided so that their upper ends are positioned at the same height.
[0029] The twelve panel members 17, except for the door D described above, are made of glass or louvers. In this embodiment 1, the three panel members 17 of the first wall portion 11 are made of a door D in the middle and glass on the left and right sides. The three panel members 17 of the second wall portion 12 are all made of louvers. The three panel members 17 of the third wall portion 13 are made of louvers in the middle and glass on the front and back sides. The three panel members 17 of the fourth wall portion 14, like the third wall portion 13, are made of louvers in the middle and glass on the front and back sides. The panel members 17 other than the door D have their side ends abutting the pillars 15, their upper ends abutting the upper rails 16, and their lower ends abutting the lower rails 18 described below, and are fitted into a frame consisting of the two pillars 15, the upper rails 16, and the lower rails 18.
[0030] In this embodiment 1, door D is a louver door, and is equipped with a key so that it can be locked. Door D is an openable door, and is attached to the second pillar 15 from the right of the first wall portion 11 via hinges so that it can be opened and closed freely. In this embodiment 1, the glass is made of transparent glass. In this embodiment 1, the louvers a that are waist-high or higher are made of a translucent resin material, and the louvers b that are lower than waist-high are made of an opaque resin material.
[0031] Furthermore, in the partition unit 1, an opening O through which a water supply pipe and electrical wiring can be inserted is formed below at least one of the twelve panel materials 17 other than the door D, between the panel material 17 and the installation surface G. In this embodiment 1, as shown in Figures 2 to 5, an opening O is formed below all of the twelve panel materials 17 other than the door D.
[0032] Specifically, lower rails 18, which serve as the lower frames of each panel 17, are provided below all (11) of the 12 panel panels 17 except for door D. The lower rails 18 are formed in a shape that is upside down compared to the upper rails 16. That is, when the upper rails 16 are square bars, the lower rails 18 are made of similar hollow metal square bars measuring approximately 50 mm x 30 mm. When the upper rails 16 are square bar-shaped members, the lower rails 18 are made of similar hollow metal square bars measuring approximately 50 mm x 30 mm, with the inner and outer surfaces of the metal square bars protruding upward by approximately 10 mm. Both the square bars and the square bar-shaped members are fixed to the two pillars 15 so as to connect the portions above the lower ends of each of the two adjacent pillars 15. The lower ends of the panel panels 17 made of glass are fixed to the lower rails 18 made of square bars, and the lower ends of the panel panels 17 made of louvers, which will be described later, are fitted and fixed between the protruding portions of the inner and outer surfaces of the lower rails 18 made of square bar-shaped members. The eleven lower rails 18 are provided so that their lower ends are positioned at the same height.
[0033] Furthermore, reinforcing bars 19 are provided below all of the lower bars 18 at intervals d (51 mm in this embodiment 1). The reinforcing bars 19 are made of metal members with a U-shaped cross section and a size of approximately 50 mm x 40 mm, with the bottom surface open, and are fixed to two pillars 15 so as to connect the bottom ends of each pair of adjacent pillars 15. The eleven reinforcing bars 19 are provided so that their top ends are positioned at the same height.
[0034] In this way, a lower beam 18 is provided above the reinforcing beam 19 connecting the lower ends of each two pillars 15 with a predetermined distance d between them, thereby forming an opening O between the lower beam 18 and the reinforcing beam 19.
[0035] In this embodiment 1, the predetermined distance d is set to 51 mm. Note that the predetermined distance d may be any distance as long as the opening O is configured to allow the water supply pipe and electrical wiring to pass through, but is preferably set to, for example, 40 mm or more and 60 mm or less. This is because the opening O is large enough to allow the water supply pipe and electrical wiring to pass through while not impairing the functionality of the partition unit 1.
[0036] [Beam] The partition unit 1 does not have a ceiling, and the upper surface of the internal space S surrounded by the four wall surfaces 11 to 14 is open.
[0037] The beam section 20 is composed of two main girders 21 and six minor girders 22. The two main girders 21 are made of hollow metal square timbers (50 mm × 100 mm in the first embodiment) and are fixed to two opposing columns 15 in the opposing first wall surface section 11 and second wall surface section 12 so as to connect the upper ends of the two opposing columns 15. The six minor girders 22 are made of hollow metal square timbers (40 mm × 40 mm in the first embodiment) and are perpendicular to the two main girders 21, bridging the gap between the two main girders 21 and between the two main girders 21 and the third and fourth wall surface sections 13, 14. Specifically, the six small beams 22 are bridged between the pillar 15 of the third wall surface portion 13 and the left-side main beam 21, between the two main beams 21, and between the right-side main beam 21 and the pillar 15 of the fourth wall surface portion 14, so as to connect the opposing pillars 15 of the two pillars 15 of the opposing third wall surface portion 13 and fourth wall surface portion 14, and their ends are fixed to the pillars 15 or the main beams 21.
[0038] [Base] The partition unit 1 does not include a floor material, and the underside of the internal space S surrounded by the four wall surfaces 11 to 14 is open. The base 30 is provided below the internal space S on the installation surface.
[0039] The base portion 30 is made up of 12 base plates 31, the same number as the pillars 15. The base plates 31 may have any configuration as long as they can support the load of the partition unit 1, but in this embodiment 1, they are made in the shape of a plate from the same material as the pillars 15. The lower ends of the pillars 15 are fixed to the base plates 31, and the weight of the partition unit 1 is supported via the pillars 15.
[0040] In this way, the partition unit 1 is composed of four wall portions 10, a beam portion 20, and a base portion 30, and is configured so that the top surface of the internal space S, which is rectangular in plan view, is not covered, but is surrounded on all four sides by the four wall portions 10, each having a lockable door D, thereby restricting entry and exit to the internal space S.
[0041] -Example of use of partition unit- The partition unit 1 can be installed in multiple locations, such as on the roof of an apartment building, and as shown in Figure 6, planters P can be placed in the internal space S, allowing the unit to be used as a rental vegetable garden where vegetables, fruits, and other plants can be grown in the planters P.
[0042] The partition unit 1 separates a specific space on the rooftop while ensuring natural lighting and ventilation, so the internal space S separated by the partition unit 1 becomes an environment suitable for growing plants. Below, we will explain the natural lighting and ventilation of the internal space S, the method for inserting piping and wiring, and access restrictions in that order.
[0043] [Lighting] The partition unit 1 has excellent lighting because it does not have a ceiling panel and the upper part of the internal space S is open. Therefore, by installing the partition unit 1 outdoors or semi-outdoors on a rooftop or balcony, etc., it is possible to let in sufficient sunlight into the internal space S and partition off an environment (internal space S) that is suitable for growing plants and has excellent lighting.
[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment 1, the surface materials 17 of the partition unit 1 other than the door D are made of glass or louvers, and the louvers have paneling a that is waist-high or higher made of a translucent resin material. In other words, the partition unit 1 has the entire perimeter of the surface materials 17, except for the door D, that are waist-high or higher made of a transparent or translucent material. Therefore, sunlight can be taken into the interior space S not only from above but also from the sides.
[0045] [Ventilation] In the partition unit 1, the first wall surface portion 11 and the second wall surface portion 12, which are opposed to each other, have three panel members 17, of which the center is configured with a louver (a louver door D with louvered door panels), and all of the three panel members 17 in the second wall surface portion 12 are configured with louvers. Also, the third wall surface portion 13 and the fourth wall surface portion 14, which are opposed to each other, have three panel members 17, of which the center is configured with a louver. That is, in the partition unit 1 of this embodiment 1, at least one panel member 17 in each of the two opposing wall surface portions 10 (wall surface portion pair) is configured with a louver. By arranging the panel members 17 made of louvers on the opposing surfaces in this way, wind can easily pass through the internal space S. The partition unit 1 of this embodiment 1 is configured to allow wind to easily pass through the internal space S in both the front-to-back and left-to-right directions. Therefore, by installing the partition unit 1 outdoors or semi-outdoors, such as on a rooftop or a balcony, it is possible to partition an environment (internal space S) that is well ventilated and suitable for growing plants.
[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment 1, openings O are formed below all of the panel members 17 other than the door D of the partition unit 1. Although the opening area of each opening O is not particularly large, by providing them around the entire periphery of the interior space S and below all of the panel members 17 other than the door D, ventilation of the interior space S is further improved.
[0047] [Piping and wiring insertion method] In the partition unit 1, an opening O is formed below at least one of the twelve panel members 17 other than the door D, through which water supply pipes and electrical wiring can be inserted between the panel and the installation surface G. Therefore, without modifying the partition unit 1, electrical equipment such as water supply equipment and lighting can be installed in desired locations in the internal space S (vegetable garden), and the water supply pipes and electrical wiring can be taken out to the outside of the partition unit 1 through the opening O.
[0048] Furthermore, in the present embodiment 1, openings O are formed below all of the panel members 17 other than the door D of the partition unit 1. In other words, because openings O are provided around the entire periphery of the interior space S, it is sufficient to take out the water supply pipes and electrical wiring from openings O that are close to the faucet and power source, and there is no need to route the water supply pipes and electrical wiring unnecessarily.
[0049] [Access Restrictions] In the partition unit 1, at least one of the 12 face panels 17 is configured as a lockable door D. Therefore, by locking the door D, it is possible to restrict access to the internal space S. When using it as a rental vegetable garden, by lending a key to the tenant, only the tenant can access the vegetable garden (internal space S).
[0050] -Effects of the first embodiment- According to the partition unit 1 of the first embodiment, a specific outdoor or semi-outdoor space can be partitioned in a manner that restricts access to the interior by using four wall surfaces 10 (first to fourth wall surfaces 11 to 14), one of the surface members 17 of which is configured as a lockable door D. Furthermore, according to the partition unit 1, by not providing a ceiling, sufficient sunlight can be taken into the interior space S, and by providing louvers on the two opposing wall surfaces 10, ventilation to the interior space S is ensured. Furthermore, according to the partition unit 1, by providing in advance openings O through which water supply pipes and electrical wiring can be inserted, water supply equipment, lighting, and other electrical equipment can be easily installed in the interior space S. In other words, according to the partition unit 1, it is possible to partition an outdoor or semi-outdoor environment (internal space S) that is excellent in lighting and ventilation and is suitable for growing plants, in a manner that restricts access to the interior.
[0051] Furthermore, in the partition unit 1 of embodiment 1, openings O through which water supply pipes and electrical wiring can be inserted are formed below all of the multiple panel members 17 except for the door D. In this way, according to the partition unit 1 of embodiment 1, openings O are provided around the entire periphery of the interior space S, so that the water supply pipes and electrical wiring can be taken out from openings O that are close to the faucet or power source, eliminating the need to route the water supply pipes and electrical wiring unnecessarily.
[0052] Furthermore, in the partition unit 1 of embodiment 1, lower crosspieces 18 are provided below all of the twelve panel members 17 except for door D, connecting the two pillars 15 on both sides of the panel members 17, and reinforcing crosspieces 19 are provided below all of the lower crosspieces 18, connecting the lower ends of the two pillars 15, and an opening O is formed between the lower crosspieces 18 and the reinforcing crosspieces 19. In this way, in the partition unit 1, simply by providing the reinforcing crosspieces 19 below the lower crosspieces 18 at a predetermined interval d, an opening O through which a water supply pipe and electrical wiring can be inserted can be easily formed.
[0053] Second Embodiment of the Invention The partition unit 1 of embodiment 2 is a modified version of the partition unit 1 of embodiment 1. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 7, in embodiment 2, of the 12 panel members 17 of the partition unit 1, all 11 panel members 17 except for the door D are made of louvers.
[0054] In the partition unit 1 of the second embodiment, all of the twelve surface materials 17 except for door D are made up of louvers, and the door panel of door D is also made up of louvers. Therefore, according to the partition unit 1 of the second embodiment, louvers are provided around the entire periphery of the interior space S, making it possible to make the interior space S more ventilated than in the first embodiment.
[0055] Other Embodiments In the above embodiments 1 and 2, each of the four wall portions 10 has three surface materials 17, but the partition unit 1 of the present invention is not limited to the number of surface materials 17 provided on the wall portions 10 being three, and any number of surface materials 17 may be provided as long as each wall portion 10 has two or more surface materials 17 and the number of surface materials 17 provided on two opposing wall portions 10 (first wall portion 11 and second wall portion 12, third wall portion 13 and fourth wall portion 14) is the same.
[0056] Furthermore, in the above-described first and second embodiments, an example in which only one lockable door D is provided has been described, but the number of doors D is not limited to the above.
[0057] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiments 1 and 2, at least one surface member 17 made of louvers was provided on each of the four wall portions 10, but from the viewpoint of ensuring ventilation in the internal space S, it is sufficient that at least one surface member 17 made of louvers is provided on each wall portion of at least one of the two pairs of opposing wall portions.
[0058] In addition, in the above embodiments 1 and 2, openings O are formed below all of the 12 panel members 17 except for door D, and the above configurations are preferable in that there is no need to route water supply pipes or electrical wiring, but it is sufficient that openings O are provided below at least one of the panel members 17 other than door D.
[0059] Furthermore, in the partition unit 1 according to the first and second embodiments or their modifications, it is preferable that the surface members 17 provided on the four wall portions 10 all have the same external dimensions. When the partition unit 1 is installed near a wall on a rooftop or the like, the direction in which ventilation can be ensured may be fixed. However, by configuring all of the surface members 17 to have the same external dimensions, the position of the louvers can be freely changed to suit the environment of the installation site. Therefore, with the above configuration, the surface members 17 can be easily replaced, making it possible to easily and reliably ensure ventilation.
[0060] Furthermore, the partition unit 1 according to the above-mentioned embodiments 1 and 2 or their variations can be used not only as a vegetable garden but also as a rest space by placing directly planted plants and benches, and because it has excellent lighting and ventilation, it can also be used as a drying space or a space for raising insects such as bees.
[0061] In the partition unit 1 according to the first and second embodiments or the modifications thereof, a sunshade may be provided on the upper or lower part of the beam portion 20.
[0062] Furthermore, the various dimensions described in the above first and second embodiments and their modifications are merely examples, and the various dimensions of the partition unit according to the present invention are not limited to those described above. [Industrial Applicability]
[0063] The present invention is useful for a partition unit that is installed outdoors or semi-outdoors. [Explanation of symbols]
