A modular plant wall Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant wall structure technology, and in particular to a modular plant wall. Background Technology
[0002] Plant walls are installed in some indoor spaces, exhibition halls, or along garden paths. They are generally made of materials such as wood or plastic and are fixed together with bolts or nails. Green plants are then planted in the planting structure in front of the wall to achieve a green display.
[0003] The currently constructed plant wall has the following problems:
[0004] 1. The current plant wall assembly is relatively complicated, requiring each brick to be assembled and fixed, lacking a quick and stable connection function, which is not conducive to rapid assembly;
[0005] 2. It is inconvenient to connect different bricks as needed to adapt to installation;
[0006] 3. It lacks the function of centralized drainage and prevention of soil erosion. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a modular plant wall with V-shaped inserts, which provides a combination function, can quickly connect different bricks, and provides support in the front and back directions.
[0008] This invention provides a modular plant wall, specifically comprising: hollow brick panels, the main body of which is a grid structure, with grid-like through-beams on the upper and lower sides; a connecting hole in the middle of the hollow brick panel; reinforcing bricks, the same size as the hollow brick panels, with a stepped through-hole in the middle, the front section of which is circular and the rear section is square, a connecting locking plate fitting inside the rear section of which is integrally provided, and two sets of snap fasteners integrally provided on both sides of the front of the connecting locking plate; a semi-circular flowerpot, with a connecting post integrally provided in the middle of the rear end of which matches the connecting hole; a connecting locking post integrally provided in the middle of the rear end of the connecting post, which can interlock with the snap fasteners; and connecting bricks, with V-shaped inserts on both the upper and lower sides of which are connected to the reinforcing bricks.
[0009] Optionally, four sets of circular grooves are provided on the adjacent surfaces of the hollow brick slab and the reinforcing brick, and mating discs for alignment are provided in the circular grooves; the mating discs are disc-shaped cylindrical structures, and the two sides of the mating discs are rounded.
[0010] Optionally, the connecting pile has a grid hole structure in the middle that is the same as that in the hollow brick slab. When the connecting pile is installed in the connecting hole, the grid hole structure and the grid structure in the hollow brick slab form a complete grid channel.
[0011] Optionally, the rear ends of both sides of the connecting locking post extend outward, and the extended part can match and engage with the buckles set at the front ends of the adjacent two sets of snap fasteners, while fixing the hollow brick plate and the reinforcing brick. In this state, the opening of the semi-circular flower pot faces upward; the opening of the semi-circular flower pot has a sloping structure that is lower in the front and higher in the back.
[0012] Optionally, a row of drainage holes is provided on each side of the bottom rear end of the semi-circular flowerpot, and a filter screen for intercepting soil is fixedly installed on the inner side of the drainage holes.
[0013] Optionally, a circular channel is provided between the docking pile and the connecting lock pile. The front side of the circular channel extends to the semi-circular flower pot. An intercepting cotton block is fitted at the connection between the semi-circular flower pot and the circular channel. The intercepting cotton block is fixed by filling the semi-circular flower pot with soil. A water pipe connector can be installed at the rear end of the circular channel. Water can be connected through a water pipe for unified water replenishment, and water can be poured directly into the soil to prevent loss.
[0014] Optionally, the front side of each connecting brick is provided with a water collection hole that runs vertically through it, and a collection channel is also provided above the front of the water collection hole; a filter screen is fixedly installed on the outside of the collection channel, the top of the collection channel is a sloping surface, and the top of the collection channel extends beyond the front side of the hollow brick slab.
[0015] Optionally, four sets of inclined grooves are provided on the upper and lower sides of the reinforcing brick and the connecting brick, as well as on the left and right sides of the reinforcing brick. The four sets of inclined grooves are staggered and can fit together to accommodate half of the V-shaped insert. The reinforcing brick is connected to other reinforcing bricks through the V-shaped insert. Two sets of side connecting frames are provided on the outermost reinforcing brick in conjunction with the V-shaped insert. The rear edges of the reinforcing brick and the connecting brick are all reinforced rib structures.
[0016] Optionally, the bottom of the side connecting frame is a fixed support leg; a top connecting rod is fixedly installed above the two sets of side connecting frames; a water channel is fixedly installed below the two sets of side connecting frames, and a drain pipe is connected below the water channel; the bottom connecting brick is attached to the top of the water channel, and the groove at the top of the water channel is aligned with the bottom of the water collection hole.
[0017] The beneficial effects are as follows:
[0018] 1. This invention provides quick assembly while ensuring planting. Interlocking is achieved by rotating the external extension of the connecting locking post between the two side snap fasteners. This can fix the hollow brick slab and the reinforcing brick. At the same time, the semi-circular flower pot itself can maintain balance by gravity and will not move or loosen. After filling with soil, it can be more stable, which provides convenience for installation.
[0019] 2. The V-shaped inserts provide a quick assembly connection, enabling the rapid connection of different bricks and providing support in both the front and rear directions. The connecting bricks are installed at the corners of the water channel and the side connecting frame, connected by the V-shaped inserts. Then, the reinforcing bricks are installed on top of the connecting bricks by connecting them with the V-shaped inserts. By repeating this installation method, each set of reinforcing bricks and connecting bricks can be connected. The V-shaped inserts also have a guiding function, requiring only the two ends of the V-shaped inserts to be connected, making assembly and disassembly convenient.
[0020] 3. In addition, it has a complete drainage system. Each semi-circular flowerpot can be watered individually as needed, or the water supply can be integrated through pipes to water the inside of each semi-circular flowerpot at the same time. Excess water will be discharged through the drainage holes, dripping down into the collection channel in front of the connecting bricks, flowing down with the water collection holes, and finally flowing into the water channel and being discharged from the drain pipe. The filtered drainage can also prevent soil loss. Attached Figure Description

[0053] First, install a set of connecting bricks 6 at the corner of the water channel 10 and the side connecting frame 8, and connect them with V-shaped inserts 7. Then, install the reinforcing bricks 2 on the top of the connecting bricks 6 by connecting them with V-shaped inserts 7. Repeat this installation method to connect each set of reinforcing bricks 2 and connecting bricks 6. Finally, install the other side connecting frame 8 and the top connecting rod 9 to complete the fixing.
[0054] Finally, fill the semi-circular flowerpot 5 with soil and then plant the plant. Each semi-circular flowerpot 5 can be watered individually as needed, or the water supply can be integrated through pipes to water the inside of each semi-circular flowerpot 5 at the same time. Excess water will be discharged through the drain hole 503, dripping down into the collection channel 602 in front of the connecting brick 6, flowing down with the water collection hole 601, and finally flowing into the water channel 10 and being discharged from the drain pipe 11.
