Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a plate-shaped trench for supplying moisture to plants.

[0002] More specifically, the invention relates to a water supply plate-type trench that is installed for drainage in a park, sports field, golf course, or road where plants such as grass and flowers are planted, and is equipped with a drainage outlet and a water reservoir, thereby preventing the plants from dying and helping with plant growth and management by supplying water stored in the reservoir to the ground as well as draining water during rainfall or water supply.

[0003] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a water supply plate-shaped trench in which the upper and lower surfaces are configured to be flat, thereby maintaining flatness when constructing parks, facilitating plant planting, aiding in growth and management, and furthermore, having no problems even with changes in terrain or curved construction. Background Technology

[0004] Generally, trenches are constructed by burying them along the edges of roadways or roads to drain rainwater or water during rainfall or water supply, thereby preventing flooding. Recently, they are also being installed in sports fields, golf courses, and parks featuring landscaping or grass to prevent landscaping plants from collapsing or being washed away by rainfall.

[0005] Such trenches are typically made of materials such as concrete (like cement), metal, or synthetic resin, and are provided with a drainage channel on the inside. They are provided by covering a body with an open top and a cover having a drainage hole on the open top of the body.

[0006] The trench provided in this way collects water flowing down from landscaping plants or grass during heavy rain or the rainy season through the drainage holes in the cover into the body and drains it through the drainage channel, thereby preventing water from pooling on the landscaping plants or grass and causing them to fall over, be washed away, or collapse due to excessive water.

[0007] However, the above trench is merely a drainage device that collects and drains water, and has the problem that, for instance, if water needs to be supplied to the landscaping plants, water cannot be supplied unless a separate water supply means such as a sprinkler, water pump, or water truck is used.

[0008] Therefore, in order to resolve the above problem, according to Korean registered patent No. 10-1969827 (Title: Landscaping Trench) (Prior Art 1), a trench body having an open top and a drainage channel provided inside; a seating member placed on the upper opening of the drainage channel; a landscaping member covering the upper surface of the seating member; a partition wall erected in the drainage channel; and permeable holes perforated in the wall of the drainage channel; so that rainwater passing through the landscaping member and the seating member flows into the drainage channel and is stored in a reservoir provided by the partition wall, and the stored rainwater flows into the ground through the permeable holes to supply water to the roots of trees and plants planted in the surrounding area.

[0009] However, the above-mentioned prior art 1 provides a reservoir with a partition wall in the main body to store water and then supplies water to the roots of trees or plants planted in the ground through the permeability holes of the main body. However, since the water supplied from the reservoir of the main body flows from the upper to the lower according to the laws of nature, it can be supplied to the roots of trees or plants planted in close proximity to the main body, but it still has the problem that water cannot be supplied to the trees or plants if the planting location of the trees or plants is far from the main body or if they are planted in an upper location of the main body.

[0010] In addition, according to Korean published patent No. 10-2015-0110193 (Title: Infiltration type rainwater storage tank equipped with a landscaping planting section) (Prior Art 2), a rainwater storage tank comprises: a landscaping planting section including a landscaping box with an internal space formed to accommodate planting, and a drainage hole formed on the lower side of the landscaping box; a storage tank body coupled to the lower side of the landscaping planting section, a protruding wall formed to protrude into the lower side of the storage tank body to form a partition wall, thereby forming a rainwater storage space to the outside and a rainwater infiltration space to the inside, and a rainwater inlet formed on the upper side of the storage tank body for the inflow of rainwater, and a wick formed to extend from the lower side of the landscaping planting section to the internal rainwater storage space of the storage tank body to absorb rainwater in the rainwater storage space and deliver moisture to the landscaping planting section on the upper side.

[0011] However, the above-mentioned prior art 2 involves burying a storage tank body, which is equipped with a rainwater inlet on the side and a rainwater storage space that stores rainwater flowing in from the inlet on the inside, and a wick in the rainwater storage space, into the ground where planting is to be done, and installing a landscaping planting section that accommodates planting and has a drainage hole above the storage tank body buried in the ground. This has the inconvenience of having to bury the storage tank body in the ground and install the landscaping planting section above. Furthermore, when landscaping with plants such as grass or flowers in a large space, there is a burden on installation and construction due to the need to bury and install them individually in the large space, and there are problems such as limitations on burying and installing the plants such as grass or flowers. The problem to be solved

[0012] The problem that the present invention aims to solve is to prevent the planting from dying due to a lack of moisture by installing a trench that is buried in the ground where plantings such as grass or flowers are transplanted to drain and store rainwater or water, and an absorbent sheet equipped with a wick that absorbs the stored water on the upper and lower surfaces of the trench, thereby draining the water during rainwater or water supply to prevent moisture from accumulating on the ground, and furthermore, by storing a portion of the rainwater so that when the ground dries out, the stored water is absorbed by the wick to wet the upper and lower absorbent sheets and supply moisture to the ground.

[0013] Another problem that the present invention aims to solve is to protect the planting by preventing the planting from falling over or being washed away due to ground deformation, by installing a trench with a corrugated pipe-shaped cross section that drains and stores rainwater or water on the inside, and by applying an absorbent sheet equipped with a wick vertically to the ground where plantings such as grass or flowers are transplanted.

[0014] In addition, the present invention provides a trench that is easy to construct by simply placing it on the ground, as the upper and lower surfaces are configured to be flat, and also allows for easy maintenance of flatness during or after construction, and also facilitates planting work. means of solving the problem

[0017] The above trench is provided with upper and lower housings having a corrugated pipe shape that bends vertically with a predetermined spacing on the outer surface, and is characterized by comprising: a bending portion provided on one side and the other side edge of the upper and lower housings and having an uneven coupling portion formed to create an internal drainage space; a coupling boss provided on each of the inner surfaces of the upper and lower housings and reinforcing strength and maintaining the drainage space through mutual coupling; a drain hole provided on the outer surface corrugated pipe of the upper and lower housings for draining moisture; a drain hole provided on the lower surface of the bend of the drain hole and cut at a predetermined spacing to communicate with the drainage space; a water flow hole on the upper surface of the bend of the drain hole for guiding the water stored in the reservoir to flow into the drain hole; and a reservoir portion provided on the outer surface corrugated pipe of the upper and lower housings, alternately provided with the drain hole, and having a water storage space by closing the lower surface and side of the bend.

[0018] The absorbent sheet is provided with an upper sheet and a lower sheet, and is characterized by having wick holes provided at predetermined intervals in the upper and lower sheets, respectively.

[0019] The above nonwoven fabric is characterized by being made of a fiber material such as a nonwoven fabric having good absorbency and permeability.

[0020] The above wick is characterized by having one end provided in a wick hole provided in the upper and lower sheets, and the other end provided to be inserted into the reservoir of the trench.

[0021] The above wick is provided in the shape of a straw having a hollow interior, and is characterized by having one end fixed integrally to the upper and lower sheets or attached so as not to detach or separate.

[0022] The above wick is characterized by being made of a non-woven fabric material with good absorbency. Effects of the invention

[0023] The effect according to the means for solving the problem of the present invention is,

[0024] By providing a trench with an outer surface having a corrugated pipe shape and an inner drainage space, and having a drainage hole and a water reservoir alternately provided on the outer surface, and an absorbent sheet with a wick that absorbs moisture from the water reservoir on the upper and lower surfaces of the trench, when rain or water is supplied to the ground, the moisture seeping into the ground and absorbed by the absorbent sheet flows into the drainage hole and water reservoir provided on the outer surface of the trench and is stored in the water reservoir along with the drainage. When the ground dries out, the water is absorbed by the wick of the absorbent sheet provided in the water reservoir, wetting the absorbent sheet and supplying moisture to the ground, thereby preventing moisture deficiency in the ground and providing the effect of preventing the plant from dying due to moisture deficiency in the ground.

[0025] In addition, the present invention provides a trench having a corrugated pipe shape that drains and stores water inwardly in the lower part of the ground where planting materials such as grass or flowers are transplanted, and an absorbent sheet having wicks on the upper and lower surfaces of the trench, thereby helping plant growth and preventing the ground from changing abruptly even if the terrain changes over time after construction, by naturally bending according to the changing terrain, and also provides the effect of protecting the planting materials by preventing them from falling over or being swept away due to ground deformation.

[0026] In addition, the present invention provides the effect of easy construction and easy maintenance of flatness during or after construction by configuring the upper and lower surfaces flat, as well as facilitating planting work. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0031] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0032] First, FIG. 1 attached to the present invention is an exploded perspective view of the moisture supply plate-shaped trench of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view showing the construction process of the moisture supply plate-shaped trench of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the trench applied to the present invention.

[0034] Before explaining further, the trench of the present invention is configured with flat upper and lower surfaces to facilitate construction, has excellent flatness before and after construction, and is a trench capable of being equipped with a drain and a water reservoir.

[0035] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6, the moisture supply plate-shaped trench (100) of the present invention is largely provided with a trench (10), an absorbent sheet (20), and a wick (30).

[0036] The above trench (10) is installed by burying it in the ground where plantings such as grass or flowers are transplanted, and absorbs, drains, and stores rainwater or water from the ground where the plantings are transplanted.

[0037] The above trench (10) is each provided with upper and lower housings (12)(13) having a drainage space (11) on the inside, and these upper and lower housings (12)(13) are provided with an outer surface in the shape of a corrugated pipe that bends up and down with a predetermined spacing.

[0038] Therefore, the above trench (10) is provided with a space to drain and store rainwater or water absorbed from the ground while having strength through the upper and lower housings (12)(13) in the shape of a corrugated pipe.

[0039] The upper and lower housings (12)(13) are provided with a bent portion (15) having an uneven coupling portion (14) so ​​that the drainage space (11) is formed inwardly on one side and the other side edge, and each inner surface is provided with a coupling boss (16) that maintains the drainage space (11) and reinforces strength through mutual coupling.

[0040] Therefore, the upper and lower housings (12)(13) have a drainage space (11) formed by the connection of the uneven connecting member (14) provided on the edge and the connection boss (16) on the inner surface. In addition, even if an external force is applied to the outer surface of the upper and lower housings (12)(13), the outer surface is firmly supported by the uneven connecting member (14) on the edge and the connection boss (16) on the inner surface, so that no damage or deformation occurs to the drainage space (11) and drainage is performed without blockage.

[0041] The upper and lower housings (12)(13) are provided with a drain (17) communicating with the drainage space (11) on the outer surface curve of the corrugated pipe shape, and a water reservoir (18) that alternates with the drain (17) and is continuously provided.

[0042] The above drain (17) is provided with a drain hole (172) that communicates with the drain space (11) by cutting at a predetermined interval on the outer surface of the corrugated pipe-shaped curved lower surface, and the above water reservoir (18) is provided to have a space for storing water by closing one side of the curve, the other side, and the bottom surface.

[0043] The curved upper surface of the drain (17) is provided with a water flow groove (171) that guides water to flow into the drain hole (172).

[0044] Therefore, water flowing into the trench (10) from the ground is stored in the water reservoir (18), and is drained through the drain hole (172) provided on the curved surface through the drain hole (171) and the water flow groove (171) into the drainage space (11) provided inside the trench (10), thereby preventing water accumulation and excess water on the ground, and additionally, water is maintained on the ground by the water in the water reservoir (18).

[0045] In the present invention, a drainage space (11) is provided with a second reservoir (19) inside a lower casing (13) that is placed on the construction floor, in particular, between the drain (17) and the reservoir (18). The second reservoir is provided between the reservoir and the drain on the bottom surface to facilitate water supply.

[0046] The trench (10) of the present invention is configured to naturally curve up and down according to changes in terrain, centered on a drain (17) protruding in the direction of the drainage space, and has the feature that the drainage space (11) is not compressed or damaged even after long-term use.

[0047] Meanwhile, the drain and reservoir of the present invention may be configured in a transverse direction, a longitudinal direction, or a cross shape intersecting each other, and the width may also be configured irregularly.

[0048] In another form, the drain and reservoir of the present invention may be configured not in a straight line shape as shown in the drawing, but in a circular shape, that is, in the form of multiple circular or arbitrary shaped grooves.

[0049] The absorbent sheet (20) according to the present invention is provided with upper and lower sheets (21)(22) respectively provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the trench (10).

[0050] The upper and lower sheets (21) (22) are provided with wick holes (23) at predetermined intervals set arbitrarily.

[0051] Here, the absorbent sheet (20) is provided with a fiber material such as a nonwoven fabric that has relatively good absorbency and permeability.

[0052] Therefore, the upper surface sheet (21) of the absorbent sheet (20) absorbs rainwater or water from the ground and permeates into the upper surface of the trench (10), and the rainwater or water permeated into the upper surface of the trench (10) is drained and stored in the drain (17) and reservoir (18) provided on the upper surface of the trench (10).

[0053] Meanwhile, the bottom sheet (22) applied to the bottom surface of the trench (10) absorbs and permeates the moisture drained to the ground by rain or water supply, drains it into the drain (17) located on the bottom surface, and stores it in the water reservoir (18), thereby dispersing the rain or water supply to the ground surface, thus preventing water accumulation and excess moisture on the ground surface.

[0054] One end of the wick (30) is provided in a wick hole (23) provided in the upper and lower sheets (21) (22) of the absorbent sheet (20), and the other end is provided to be inserted into a reservoir (18) provided in the trench (10).

[0055] If necessary, the above wick (30) may be provided in the shape of a straw having a hollow interior, and one end may be fixed integrally to the upper and lower sheets (21)(22) or provided by adhesive so as not to detach or separate.

[0056] The above wick (30) is provided with a fiber material such as non-woven fabric with good absorbency.

[0057] Therefore, the above wick (30) absorbs the water stored in the reservoir (18) of the trench (10) through the phenomenon of moving from a place of high water potential to a place of low water potential, i.e., 3-pressure, and wets the upper and lower sheets (21) (22) to supply water to the upper side, and the upper sheet (21) supplies water to the ground, and the lower sheet (21) absorbs the water from the ground and stores it in the reservoir (18), so that when dry, the water stored in the trench (10) is absorbed by the wick (30) to wet the ground, thereby supplying water to the planting material being transplanted and preventing the planting material from dying.

[0058] In addition, the wick (30) of the present invention is shown and described in the drawings and description as being located in the reservoir (18), but may be located in the drain (17) or in both the reservoir and the drain as needed.

[0059] As described above, the present invention is designed to be installed in lawn parks, etc., to drain water resulting from rainfall and water supply, and to store water to aid in the growth and management of plants. It is also designed with flat top and bottom surfaces for easy installation, naturally bends in response to terrain changes, and can be installed even on undulating terrain.
