Description
본 발명은 식물을 사용한 공기청정기에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 벽체를 따라 수직벽을 형성하도록 심어진 식물을 사용하여 공기청정기능을 수행하도록 한 식물을 사용한 공기청정기에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an air cleaner using a plant, and more particularly to an air cleaner using a plant to perform the air cleaning function using a plant planted to form a vertical wall along the wall.
최근에 식물이 공기를 정화하는 역할을 한다는 것이 알려졌다. 따라서, 식물의 정화작용을 활용하여 실내공기 또는 원하는 공간의 공기를 정화하는 기술들이 많이 제공되고 있다. Recently it has been known that plants play a role in purifying the air. Therefore, many technologies for purifying indoor air or air of a desired space by utilizing the purification of plants have been provided.
아래의 선행기술문헌들에서는 식물 사이와 식물이 심어진 토양을 공기가 통과하도록 하여 정화된 공기를 모아 원하는 장소로 공급하도록 하고 있다. 특히, 대한민국 등록특허 제10-1128824호에서는 벽체를 따라 식물을 심고 식물 사이와 식물이 심어진 토양을 관통하여 공기가 통과하면서 정화된 공기를 모아 원하는 공간으로 공급하도록 하고 있다.In the following prior art documents, air is passed between the plants and the soil in which the plants are planted to collect the purified air and supply it to a desired place. In particular, the Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-1128824 is to plant the plants along the wall and to pass through the soil between the plants and plants planted as air passes through to collect the purified air to supply to the desired space.
이와 같이 식물을 사용하여 공기를 정화하는 종래 기술에서는 식물이 심겨진 토양을 공기가 통과하여야 하므로, 식물의 생육에 필요한 수분이 공기와 함께 배출된다. 따라서 식물의 생육이 어렵게 되는 문제점이 있다.As described above, in the conventional technology of purifying air using plants, air must pass through soil in which plants are planted, and thus, moisture necessary for growing plants is discharged together with air. Therefore, there is a problem that the growth of the plant becomes difficult.
그리고, 식물이 심겨진 토양을 공기가 통과하기 위해서는 매우 용량이 큰 팬이 필요하게 되고, 토양 내에 공극이 일정 이상 있어야 한다. 하지만, 일반적인 토양을 공기가 통과하는 것은 매우 어렵다.In addition, in order for air to pass through the planted soil, a very large fan is required, and there must be a certain amount of voids in the soil. However, it is very difficult for air to pass through common soils.
따라서, 공기청정기에서 사용하는 식물을 위한 토양은 상대적으로 공극이 큰 것이어야 한다. 하지만, 이와 같이 토양 내에 공극이 많아지게 되면 토양이 수분을 오랜 동안 함유할 수 없게 되어 물공급량이 늘어나게 되는 등의 문제점이 있다.Therefore, soil for plants used in air cleaners should be relatively large in pore size. However, if there are many voids in the soil as described above, there is a problem that the soil cannot contain moisture for a long time, such that the water supply amount is increased.
그리고, 식물을 벽체를 따라 식재함에 있어서 벽체가 평면이 아니고 양측의 벽체가 소정의 각도를 가지고 만나도록 되는 경우에는 식물이 식재되지 않는 영역이 발생하게 되어 공기청정기 전체의 외관이 나빠지고, 식물이 식재된 상태를 전방에서 볼 때 사용자의 정면방향은 상관이 없으나 좌측 또는 우측으로 보았을 때 식물의 측면이 보이게 되어 공기청정기의 외관이 나빠지는, 즉 녹시율이 떨어지는 문제점도 있다.In the case of planting plants along the wall, when the walls are not flat and the walls on both sides meet at a predetermined angle, an area where the plants are not planted is generated, and the overall appearance of the air cleaner is deteriorated. When viewed from the front of the planted state does not matter the front direction of the user, but when viewed from the left or right side of the plant is visible, the appearance of the air cleaner is deteriorated, that is, there is also a problem that the deterioration rate decreases.
또한, 실내의 벽체를 따라 식물을 바닥에 대해 수직방향으로 심어서 공기청정기를 제공하는 경우에는 공기를 유동시키기 위한 팬, 후드 및 유로 등을 설치하기 위한 공간을 확보하기 위해 벽체와 식물이 설치되는 부분의 사이에 상대적으로 넓은 틈새가 필요하게 되어 실내공간을 공기청정기가 많이 차지하게 되는 문제점이 있다. 특히 후드가 식물에 의해 만들어진 수직벽의 후방에 존재하는 경우 식물에 의해 만들어진 수직벽과 벽체의 사이 공간이 넓어지게 되어 전체 공기청정기가 차지하는 면적이 늘어나는 문제점이 있다.In addition, when the plant is planted along the wall in the vertical direction with respect to the floor to provide an air purifier, the wall and the plant are installed to secure a space for installing a fan, a hood and a flow path for flowing air. There is a problem in that a relatively wide gap is required between the parts occupy a lot of air cleaners indoor space. In particular, when the hood is located behind the vertical wall made by the plant, the space between the vertical wall made by the plant and the wall becomes wider, thereby increasing the area occupied by the entire air cleaner.
본 발명의 목적은 상기한 바와 같은 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 식물을 사용하여 공기를 정화하는 공기청정기에서 정화된 공기가 통과하는 공기유로를 식물이 식재된 토양과 별도로 두는 것이다. An object of the present invention is to solve the conventional problems as described above, and to separate the air passage through which the purified air passes in the air purifier that purifies the air using the plant separately from the soil in which the plant is planted.

본 발명의 또 다른 목적은 식물을 사용하여 공기를 정화하는 공기청정기에서 수평방향으로 심어지는 식물이 최대한 중력반대방향을 향하도록 지지하는 것이다. Still another object of the present invention is to support a plant planted in a horizontal direction in the air cleaner purifying the air using the plant so as to face the direction of gravity opposite as much as possible.

본 발명에 의한 식물을 사용한 공기청정기에서는 다음과 같은 효과를 얻을 수 있다.In the air cleaner using the plant according to the present invention can obtain the following effects.
먼저, 본 발명에서는 공기청정기에서 정화된 공기를 모으는 후드가 식물이 식재된 식물블럭과는 별도로 만들어져 식물블럭의 사이에 있으므로 식물을 사용한 공기청정기의 전후방향의 길이가 최소화되어 공기청정기의 설치에 필요한 공간이 줄어들게 되는 효과가 있다.First, in the present invention, since the hood for collecting the air purified by the air cleaner is made separately from the plant block in which the plant is planted, and between the plant blocks, the length of the front and rear directions of the air cleaner using the plant is minimized, which is required for the installation of the air cleaner. There is an effect that the space is reduced.
그리고 본 발명에서는 식물블럭과 식물필터의 전면이 곡면으로 되어 있어 전방에서 공기청정기를 볼 때, 전방 어느 위치에 있더라도 식재된 식물의 선단을 볼 수 있게 되고 내측의 블럭본체나 필터본체가 외부로 잘 드러나지 않게 되어 식물에 의한 녹화상태가 보다 풍성하게 되는 효과가 있다.In the present invention, the front of the plant block and the plant filter is curved so that when the air purifier is seen from the front, the front end of the plant planted can be seen at any position in front and the block body or the filter body of the inside is well visible to the outside. There is an effect that the greening state by the plant becomes more abundant.
그리고, 본 발명에서는 식물블럭의 일측면에도 식생공이 있어 벽체가 꺾여진 부분에서도 식물블럭의 블럭본체가 외부로 드러나지 않도록 할 수 있게 되는 효과가 있다.Further, in the present invention, there is a vegetation hole in one side of the plant block, so that the block body of the plant block is not exposed to the outside even in a portion where the wall is bent.
또한, 본 발명에서는 식물블럭에 식재된 식물이 중력방향으로 처지는 것을 방지하기 위해 식물지지대를 사용한다. 상기 식물지지대는 식물의 줄기를 지지하여 주므로 식물이 상방향으로 잘 자랄 수 있도록 해주어 전체적으로 식물이 잘 자랄 수 있도록 해주는 효과를 제공한다.In addition, the present invention uses a plant support to prevent the plant planted in the plant block sag in the direction of gravity. The plant support supports the stem of the plant, so that the plant grows well in the upward direction, thereby providing an effect of allowing the plant to grow well as a whole.
한편, 본 발명에서는 식물블럭의 사이에 후드가 설치되도록 하여 식물블럭을 공기가 통과하지 않도록 하고 단지 상기 후드를 통해 식물에 의해 정화된 공기가 모아지도록 하므로 식물블럭의 식물이 보다 잘 자랄 수 있게 되고, 상대적으로 용량이 작은 팬을 사용하더라도 공기청정기가 잘 동작되는 효과를 얻을 수 있다.On the other hand, in the present invention, the hood is installed between the plant blocks so that air does not pass through the plant blocks, and only the purified air is collected by the plants through the hood so that the plants of the plant blocks can grow better. For example, even if a fan with a relatively small capacity can be used, the air cleaner can work well.

The additional filter 58 may be located inside the inlet of the hood 50. The additional filter 58 filters the fine dust in the air. The additional filter 58 contains, for example, grains such as charcoal. That is, the filtering material in the additional filter 58 may be changed according to the environment of the internal space by filtering the inorganic dust or pollutants. The filtering material entering the inside of the additional filter 58 may be a material having a relatively large amount of voids to allow air flow to the hood 50. The additional filter 58 is installed in the inlet of the hood 50 and has the same cross-sectional shape as the flow cross section of the hood 50. At this time, there should be no air leakage between the additional filter 58 and the hood 50. The additional filter 58 may not be used depending on the indoor environment.
상기 후드(50)의 선단에는 식물필터(60)가 설치된다. 상기 식물필터(60)는 상기 후드(50)의 선단에 누설이 발생하지 않도록 시일(도면부호 부여 않음)을 개재한 상태로 장착된다. 상기 식물필터(60)는 식물이 식재된 필터이다. 상기 식물필터(60)의 골격을 필터본체(62)가 형성한다. 상기 필터본체(62)의 내부에는 내부공간(63)이 형성된다. 상기 내부공간(63)은 상기 필터본체(62)의 상부로 개방된다. 상기 필터본체(62)는 위에서 설명된 식물블럭(40)의 블록본체(42)와 유사한 구성을 가진다. 즉, 내부공간(63)이 외부와 잘 연통되도록 필터본체(62)에도 다수개의 통공이 그물 형태로 만들어져 있다.The plant filter 60 is installed at the tip of the hood 50. The plant filter 60 is mounted with a seal (not shown) interposed therebetween so that leakage does not occur at the tip of the hood 50. The plant filter 60 is a filter planted plants. The filter body 62 forms the skeleton of the plant filter 60. An inner space 63 is formed inside the filter body 62. The inner space 63 is opened to the upper portion of the filter body 62. The filter body 62 has a configuration similar to the block body 42 of the plant block 40 described above. That is, a plurality of through holes are also made in the form of a net so that the inner space 63 communicates well with the outside.
상기 내부공간(62)에는 식생토가 채워진다. 상기 식생토는 상대적으로 공극이 크게 만들어지는 것이 사용된다. 예를 들면, 입자가 커서 공극이 많이 생길 수 있는 크기를 가지는 난석이나 마사토이다. 그리고, 꽃꽂이에 사용되는 플로럴 폼(Floral form)(일명 '오아시스')을 소정의 직경을 가지는 알갱이로 만들어 사용할 수 있다. 이와 같이 식생토를 만드는 것은 상기 후드(50)로 공기가 식물필터(60)의 식생토를 잘 통과하여 들어갈 수 있도록 하기 위함이다. 여기서 상기 식생토는 예를 들면, 난석, 마사토 또는 플로럴 폼만으로 만들어지는 것이 아니라, 이들 중 적어도 어느 하나가 일정 비율 이상으로 섞여 있어 통기성을 제공할 수 있으면 된다.Vegetation soil is filled in the internal space 62. The vegetation soil is used that is made relatively large voids. For example, it is a stool or masato that has a size that is large enough to cause large voids. In addition, a floral form (also known as an oasis) used for flower arrangement may be used as granules having a predetermined diameter. This is to make the vegetation soil in order to allow the air to pass through the vegetation soil of the plant filter 60 to the hood (50). In this case, the vegetation soil is not made of, for example, only a hard stone, masato or floral foam, but at least one of them is mixed in a predetermined ratio or more to provide breathability.

The plant support 70 is made of a flexible material that can be bent by an external force while maintaining its overall shape. The plant support 70 is installed to protrude inward through the vegetation hole 46 in the block body 42.
상기 식물지지대(70)의 형상이 도 5에 잘 도시되어 있다. 상기 식물지지대(70)에는 상기 식생공(46)의 내측 가장자리에 안착되는 걸이편(72)이 있고, 상기 걸이편(72)의 소정 구간을 둘러서 전방 상부로 상향 경사지게 연장되는 지지편(74)이 있다. 상기 걸이편(72)은 상기 식생공(46)의 내측에 걸어져 식물지지대(70)가 상기 식생공(46)에 견고하게 설치되도록 한다. 상기 걸이편(72)의 양단은 상기 지지편(74)보다 더 상부로 돌출되어 있다. 상기 지지편(74)은 대략 반원통형상으로 만들어져 상기 식물(P)을 지지하게 된다.The shape of the plant support 70 is shown well in FIG. 5. The plant support (70) has a hook piece (72) seated on the inner edge of the vegetation hole (46), and a support piece (74) extending upwardly inclined upwardly around a predetermined section of the hook piece (72). There is this. The hook piece 72 is hooked inside the vegetation hole 46 so that the plant support 70 is firmly installed in the vegetation hole 46. Both ends of the hook piece 72 protrude upward more than the support piece 74. The support piece 74 is made of a substantially semi-cylindrical shape to support the plant (P).
상기 식물지지대(70)는 유연한 재질로 만들어져 있으므로 상기 식물블럭(40)의 식생토공간(44)의 내부에 상기 식생공(46)을 통해 삽입되어, 걸이편(72)만이 상기 식생토공간(44) 내에 있으면서 식물블럭(40)에 장착되도록 한다.Since the plant support 70 is made of a flexible material, the plant support 70 is inserted into the vegetation soil space 44 of the plant block 40 through the vegetation hole 46, and only the hook piece 72 has the vegetation soil space ( 44 to be mounted on the plant block 40.
다음으로, 상기 식물블럭(40)이나 식물필터(60)에 물을 공급하기 위한 구성을 살펴본다. 이를 위해 상기 식물블럭(40)의 커버(48) 상면을 따라 연장되게 급수관(80)이 설치된다. 상기 급수관(80)은 상기 커버(48)의 고정리브(48')를 통해 고정되어 있다. 상기 급수관(80)에는 중간중간에 상기 커버(48)를 통해 식물블럭(40)의 내부로 물을 공급할 수 있는 점적공(도시되지 않음)이 있다. 상기 점적공은 그 크기에 따라 식물에 공급하는 물의 양을 조절할 수 있다. 상기 점적공은 상기 커버(48)쪽으로 개방되게 형성되어 있다. 상기 급수관(80)은 수평방향으로 설치된다. 도 2에서는 급수관(80)이 고정판(30)의 모든 줄마다 설치되지 않은 것으로 되어 있으나, 반드시 그러한 것은 아니다. 즉, 고정판(30)에 설치된 식물블럭(40)의 모든 줄마다 급수관(80)이 설치될 수도 있고, 몇개의 줄에만 급수관(80)이 설치될 수도 있다.Next, the configuration for supplying water to the plant block 40 or the plant filter 60 will be described. To this end, the water supply pipe 80 is installed to extend along the upper surface of the cover 48 of the plant block 40. The water supply pipe 80 is fixed through a fixing rib 48 ′ of the cover 48. The water supply pipe 80 has a drop hole (not shown) that can supply water to the inside of the plant block 40 through the cover 48 in the middle. The drop ball may adjust the amount of water supplied to the plant according to its size. The drop hole is formed to open toward the cover 48. The water supply pipe 80 is installed in the horizontal direction. In FIG. 2, the water supply pipe 80 is not installed in every row of the fixed plate 30, but is not necessarily so. That is, the water supply pipe 80 may be installed in every row of the plant block 40 installed in the fixing plate 30, or the water supply pipe 80 may be installed in only a few rows.
도면으로 도시되지는 않았지만, 상기 식물필터(60)의 상부를 통과하도록 급수관(80)을 둘 수 있다. 상기 식물필터(60)에 물을 공급하는 급수관(80)에는 다수개의 세관을 두어 상기 식물필터(60)의 식생토로 직접 물을 공급하도록 할 수 있다. 물론, 점적공을 급수관(80)에 두어 물을 식물필터(60)에 공급할 수도 있다. 상기 식물필터(60)로 물을 공급하는 것과 상기 식물블럭(40)으로 물을 공급하는 것은 별개로 하는 것이 좋다. 이는 상기 식물필터(60)에 물이 공급되어야 하는 양과 주기는 상기 식물블럭(40)에 공급되어야 하는 물의 양과 주기와는 다르기 때문이다.Although not shown in the drawings, the water supply pipe 80 may be provided to pass through the upper portion of the plant filter 60. The water supply pipe 80 for supplying water to the plant filter 60 may be provided with a plurality of tubules to directly supply water to the vegetation soil of the plant filter 60. Of course, by dropping the ball in the water supply pipe 80 may be supplied to the plant filter 60. Supplying water to the plant filter 60 and supplying water to the plant block 40 may be separately. This is because the amount and the period of water to be supplied to the plant filter 60 is different from the amount and the period of water to be supplied to the plant block 40.
상기 급수관(80)으로 물을 공급하기 위해 급수원(82)과 급수관(80)이 연결된다. 상기 급수원(82)으로는 물탱크 등 다양한 것이 될 수 있는데, 상기 급수원(82)에는 수도가 있어 상기 급수관(80)과 연결된다. 상기 급수관(80)을 통한 물공급은 별도의 밸브를 제어함에 의해 원하는 시간에 이루어질 수 있다.A water supply source 82 and a water supply pipe 80 are connected to supply water to the water supply pipe 80. The water supply source 82 may be various, such as a water tank, the water supply source 82 is connected to the water supply pipe 80 because there is a water supply. The water supply through the water supply pipe 80 may be made at a desired time by controlling a separate valve.
그리고, 공기청정기에 별도의 수조(84)가 구비될 수 있다. 상기 수조(84)는 공기청정기가 설치된 공간 내에 있을 수도 있고, 별도의 공간에 있을 수도 있다. 상기 수조(84)는 물을 임시 저장하는 곳이다. 상기 수조(84)에 펌프(86)가 설치되어 상기 급수원(82)에서 공급되는 물과 함께 상기 수조(84)의 물을 상기 급수관(80)으로 공급할 수 있다.In addition, an additional water tank 84 may be provided in the air cleaner. The water tank 84 may be in a space where an air cleaner is installed, or may be in a separate space. The water tank 84 is where water is temporarily stored. A pump 86 may be installed in the water tank 84 to supply water from the water tank 84 to the water supply pipe 80 together with water supplied from the water supply source 82.
상기 급수관(80)과 연결되어서는 배수관(88)이 있다. 상기 배수관(88)은 상기 급수관(80)으로 전달되어 유동되고 남은 물을 상기 수조(84)로 전달하는 것이다. 상기 배수관(88)의 끝부분이나 상기 수조(84)에는 퇴수로(88')가 구비되어 공기청정기에서 사용된 물을 외부로 배출하여 버릴 수 있도록 한다.The drain pipe 88 is connected to the water supply pipe 80. The drain pipe 88 is delivered to the water supply pipe 80 to deliver the remaining water flows to the water tank (84). An end portion of the drain pipe 88 or the water tank 84 is provided with a discharge path 88 ′ to discharge the water used in the air cleaner to the outside.
한편, 상기 각각의 고정판(30)의 하단부에는 상기 식물블럭(40)의 하부에 위치되게 배수판(90)이 있다. 상기 배수판(90)은 그 상부의 식물블럭(40)에서 떨어진 수분을 모아서 예를 들면 그 하부에 있는 식물블럭(40)이나 상기 수조(84)로 전달하도록 한다. 상기 배수판(90)은 인접하는 고정판(30)의 것끼리도 서로 연결되도록 구성할 수 있다.On the other hand, the lower end of each fixing plate 30 has a drain plate 90 to be located below the plant block 40. The drainage plate 90 collects the water away from the plant block 40 at the top thereof and transfers it to the plant block 40 or the water tank 84 at the bottom thereof. The drainage plate 90 may be configured such that adjacent ones of the fixed plates 30 are connected to each other.
그리고, 상기 식물(P)은 상기 식물지지대(70)에 의해 전방 상방향으로 자라도록 되어 있으나, 식물(P)이 반드시 그러해야 하는 것은 아니고, 식물(P)의 특성이 다양한 것을 사용할 수 있다. 예를 들면, 식물이 중력방향으로 늘어지도록 자라는 것을 사용할 수도 있다. 필요한 경우에는 여러가지 종류의 식물(P)을 동시에 사용할 수도 있다.In addition, the plant (P) is to grow in the forward upward direction by the plant support 70, the plant (P) is not necessarily so, it can be used a variety of properties of the plant (P). For example, it may be used to grow the plant to stretch in the direction of gravity. If necessary, several kinds of plants (P) may be used simultaneously.
이하 상기한 바와 같은 구성을 가지는 본 발명에 의한 식물을 사용한 공기청정기를 설치하는 것과 사용하는 것을 상세하게 설명한다.Hereinafter, the installation and use of the air cleaner using the plant according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.
먼저, 상기 식물블럭(40)에 식물(P)을 식재하는 것을 설명한다. 상기 식물블럭(40)의 식생토공간(44)에 식생토를 투입한다. 상기 식생토가 상기 식물블럭(40)의 블럭본체(42)에서 쉽게 빠져나가지 못하도록 상기 식생토공간(44)의 내면에는 별도의 부직포(도시되지 않음)를 둘 수도 있다. 상기 식생토로는 식물(P)의 종류에 맞는 것을 사용하는 것이 좋다. 일단 식생토를 상기 식생공(46)의 하부까지 채운 후에는 상기 식생공(46)을 통해 식물(P)의 뿌리부분을 삽입하고 다시 식생토를 채운다. 상기 블럭본체(42)의 식생토공간(44)에 식생토를 끝까지 채워서 잘 다진다. First, planting the plant (P) in the plant block 40 will be described. The vegetation soil is introduced into the vegetation soil space 44 of the plant block 40. A separate nonwoven fabric (not shown) may be provided on the inner surface of the vegetation soil space 44 so that the vegetation soil does not easily escape from the block body 42 of the plant block 40. As the vegetation soil, it is preferable to use one suitable for the type of plant P. Once the vegetation soil is filled to the lower part of the vegetation hole 46, the root portion of the plant P is inserted through the vegetation hole 46 and the vegetation soil is filled again. The vegetation soil space 44 of the block body 42 is filled with vegetation soil to the end and compacted.
참고로 상기 식생공(46)의 부분은 제작 시에는 관통되어 있지 않고, 사용 시에 필요한 것만을 개방하여 사용할 수 있도록 되어 있다. 즉, 상기 식생공(46)을 막도록 원판 형상의 판이 있는데, 이는 상기 블럭본체(42)와 연결되어 있고, 사용 시에는 연결된 부분을 절단하여 판을 제거하면 되는 것이다. 그리고, 상기 식물블럭(40)이나 식물필터(60)의 내부에는 부직포와 같은 것을 내면에 설치하여 식생토가 유실되는 것을 방지하도록 할 수 있다.For reference, the part of the vegetation hole 46 is not penetrated at the time of manufacture, and can open and use only what is necessary at the time of use. That is, there is a disk-shaped plate to block the vegetation hole 46, which is connected to the block body 42, and when used, it is necessary to remove the plate by cutting the connected portion. In addition, a plant such as a nonwoven fabric may be installed inside the plant block 40 or the plant filter 60 to prevent loss of vegetation soil.
상기 식생토공간(44)에 식생토를 완전히 채우고 나면 상기 커버(48)를 닫아 식물블럭(40)을 완성한다. 상기 식물블럭(40)에 상기 식생공(46)을 통해 식재되어 식생공(46)의 외부로 돌출된 식물(P)은 중력방향으로 처지게 될 가능성이 있다. 이를 방지하기 위해 상기 식생공(46)에는 도 5에 도시된 바와 같은 식물지지대(70)를 장착한다. 상기 식물지지대(70)는 유연한 재질로 만들어져 있어, 상기 식생공(46)의 내부로 삽입할 수 있다. 즉, 상기 걸이편(72)만이 상기 식생토공간(44)의 내부에 삽입되어 걸어지면 된다. 물론, 상기 식생토공간(44)에 식생토를 채우기 전에 미리 식물지지대(70)를 설치할 수도 있다. 상기 식물지지대(70)에 의해 상기 식물(P)이 지지되므로 전방 상방을 향해 세워져 자랄 수 있다. 상기 식물지지대(70)는 반드시 사용하여야 하는 것은 아니고, 필요 시에 사용할 수 있다.After the vegetation soils 44 are completely filled with vegetation soils, the cover 48 is closed to complete the plant block 40. The plant P, which is planted in the plant block 40 through the vegetation hole 46, protrudes out of the vegetation hole 46, may sag in the direction of gravity. To prevent this, the vegetation hole 46 is equipped with a plant support 70 as shown in FIG. The plant support 70 is made of a flexible material, it can be inserted into the vegetation hole (46). That is, only the hook piece 72 may be inserted into the vegetation soil space 44 to be walked. Of course, the plant support 70 may be installed in advance before filling the vegetation soil in the vegetation soil space 44. Since the plant P is supported by the plant support 70, the plant P may be raised and raised forward. The plant support 70 is not necessarily used, and may be used when necessary.
상기 벽체(12)에는 설치프레임(20)이 장착된다. 상기 설치프레임(20)을 상기 벽체(12)에 장착한 후에는 상기 고정판(30)과 벽체(12) 사이에 설치되어야 할 구성요소들을 설치한다. 예를 들면, 공기덕트(52)와 팬(54)이 있다.The installation frame 20 is mounted on the wall 12. After the mounting frame 20 is mounted on the wall 12, the components to be installed between the fixing plate 30 and the wall 12 are installed. For example, there is an air duct 52 and a fan 54.
다음으로, 상기 고정판(30)을 상기 설치프레임(20)에 장착한다. 상기 설치프레임(20)에 고정판(30)을 장착한 후에는 상기 고정판(30)에 식물블럭(40)과 후드(50) 그리고 식물필터(60) 등을 설치한다.Next, the fixing plate 30 is mounted to the installation frame 20. After the fixing plate 30 is mounted on the installation frame 20, the plant block 40, the hood 50, and the plant filter 60 are installed on the fixing plate 30.
상기 고정판(30)에 상기 식물블럭(40)을 설치하기 위해서는 체결구를 사용한다. 상기 식물블럭(40)의 배면 가장자리를 둘러 다수 개의 체결구가 관통하여 상기 고정판(30)에 체결되도록 하는 것이다. 상기 식물블럭(40)들은 상기 고정판(30)의 제1장착부(34)와 제2장착부(35)의 해당되는 위치들에 각각 설치된다.A fastener is used to install the plant block 40 on the fixing plate 30. A plurality of fasteners penetrate around the rear edge of the plant block 40 so as to be fastened to the fixing plate 30. The plant blocks 40 are respectively installed at corresponding positions of the first mounting portion 34 and the second mounting portion 35 of the fixing plate 30.
참고로, 본 실시례에서는 도 2에서 볼 수 있는 바와 같이, 하나의 고정판(30)에서 하나의 줄에 4개의 식물블럭(40)이 장착된다. 물론, 하나의 줄에 2개의 식물블럭(40)이 사용되도록 식물블럭(40)의 크기를 설정할 수도 있으나, 식물블럭(40)의 취급 등을 고려할 때는 4개의 식물블럭(40)이 한줄에 설치되도록 한다. 참고로, 상기 식물필터(60)는 한 줄에 2개가 사용되도록 하고 있다.For reference, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, four plant blocks 40 are mounted in one row in one fixing plate 30. Of course, the size of the plant block 40 may be set so that two plant blocks 40 are used in one row, but when considering the handling of the plant block 40, four plant blocks 40 are installed in one line. Be sure to For reference, two plant filters 60 are used in one line.
상기와 같이 식물블럭(40)을 설치함에 있어서, 상기 벽체(12)의 형태에 따라 식물블럭(40)이 배치되는 것을 도 8에서 도 10을 참고하여 설명한다.In the installation of the plant block 40 as described above, it will be described with reference to FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 that the plant block 40 is disposed according to the shape of the wall 12.
먼저, 도 8에서는 하나의 평면으로 된 벽체(12)에 식물블럭(40)들이 설치된 것을 개략적으로 도시하고 있다. 이때, 상기 식물블럭(40)의 전면이 아치형의 곡면으로 되어 있으므로, 사용자가 어느 위치에서 보든지 대체로 각각의 식물(P)을 정면에서 볼 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서, 식물블럭(40)에 의한 녹화가 보다 확실하게 된다.First, FIG. 8 schematically shows that the plant blocks 40 are installed on a single wall 12. At this time, since the front surface of the plant block 40 is an arcuate curved surface, it means that the user can generally see each plant P from the front in any position. Therefore, the greening by the plant block 40 becomes more reliable.
한편, 상기 식물블럭(40)의 측면에도 식생공(46)이 있어, 도 9에 도시된 바와 같이, 양측의 벽체(12)가 직교하는 경우에도 식물(P)이 심어지지 않은 부분이 없게 된다. 즉, 2개의 벽체(12)가 만나는 부분에서 상기 식물블럭(40)의 측면이 위치하게 하고, 그 측면의 식생공(46)에도 식물(P)을 식재하여 녹화가 되도록 한다.On the other hand, there is a vegetation hole 46 also on the side of the plant block 40, as shown in Figure 9, even if the wall 12 on both sides is orthogonal, there is no part that is not planted plant (P) . That is, the side of the plant block 40 is positioned at the portion where the two walls 12 meet, and the plant P is planted in the vegetation hole 46 of the side to be greened.
그리고, 도 10에는 2개의 벽체(12)가 둔각으로 만나는 경우가 개시되어 있는데, 이 경우에는 식물블럭(40)에서 측면이 없는 부분이 2개의 벽체(12)가 만나는 부분에 위치하도록 하면 된다.In addition, FIG. 10 discloses a case where the two walls 12 meet at an obtuse angle. In this case, a part without a side of the plant block 40 may be positioned at a portion where the two walls 12 meet.
다음으로, 상기 고정판(30)의 제1장착부(34) 일부에는 상기 후드(50)가 장착된다. 상기 후드(50)는 하나의 고정판(30)의 한 줄에 2개가 사용된다. 상기 후드(50)는 그 유동단면적이 후드(50)의 정면에서 볼 때, 사각형으로 되는데, 후방으로 갈수록 점차 좁아지도록 구성되어 있다.Next, the hood 50 is mounted to a part of the first mounting part 34 of the fixing plate 30. Two hoods 50 are used in one row of one fixing plate 30. The hood 50 has a rectangular cross section when viewed from the front of the hood 50, and is configured to narrow gradually toward the rear.
상기 후드(50)에는 상기 공기덕트(52)를 연결하게 된다. 상기 공기덕트(52)는 도 6에서 볼 수 있는 바와 같이 2개의 후드(50)에 하나의 공기덕트(52)가 연결된다. 상기 공기덕트(52)의 일측에는 팬(54)이 설치되어 상기 후드(50)의 내부로 공기를 흡입하고 공기덕트(52)를 통해 배출하도록 한다.The air duct 52 is connected to the hood 50. As shown in FIG. 6, the air duct 52 has one air duct 52 connected to two hoods 50. A fan 54 is installed at one side of the air duct 52 to suck air into the hood 50 and to discharge it through the air duct 52.
상기 후드(50)를 설치한 후에는 상기 후드(50)의 입구에 부가필터(58)와 식물필터(60)를 설치한다. 상기 부가필터(58)는 식물필터(60)에 의해서 필터링할 수 없는 오염성분을 제거하기 위해 사용하는 것으로, 그러한 성분이 없는 환경에서는 반드시 사용해야 하는 것은 아니다.After the hood 50 is installed, an additional filter 58 and a plant filter 60 are installed at the inlet of the hood 50. The additional filter 58 is used to remove contaminants that cannot be filtered by the plant filter 60, and is not necessarily used in an environment without such components.
상기 후드(50)의 전면에는 식물필터(60)를 설치한다. 상기 식물필터(60)는 상기 후드(50)로 들어가는 공기 중에 섞인 유기질과 무기질 먼지를 걸러내기 위한 것이다. 특히, 상기 식물필터(60)에 식재된 식물(P)의 뿌리의 작용과 식생토의 미생물에 의해서 필터링이 이루어진다.The plant filter 60 is installed on the front surface of the hood 50. The plant filter 60 filters out organic and inorganic dust mixed in the air entering the hood 50. In particular, the filtering is performed by the action of the root of the plant (P) planted in the plant filter 60 and the microorganism of the vegetation soil.
상기 후드(50)와 식물필터(60)의 사이에서는 공기의 누설이 발생하지 않아야 확실한 필터링이 가능하다. 이를 위해서 상기 식물필터(60)와 상기 후드(50)의 입구 가장자리 사이에는 시일을 두어 공기의 누설이 발생하지 않도록 할 수 있다. 상기 후드(50)와 식물필터(60) 사이의 결합은 상기 고정판(30)과 식물블럭(40) 사이의 결합과 같은 방식으로 할 수 있는데, 단지 시일을 두어 누설이 발생하지 않도록 하는 것이 필요하다.Between the hood 50 and the plant filter 60, air leakage should not occur, so that certain filtering is possible. To this end, a seal may be provided between the plant filter 60 and the inlet edge of the hood 50 to prevent leakage of air. The coupling between the hood 50 and the plant filter 60 can be done in the same way as the coupling between the stationary plate 30 and the plant block 40, but only need to be sealed to prevent leakage. .
상기 후드(50)에서 모아진 공기를 전달하는 공기덕트(52)는 토출유로(56)와 연결되어 있다. 물론, 상기 공기덕트(52)가 별도의 경로를 통해 실내로 공기를 전달할 수도 있다. 본 실시례에서는 상기 토출유로(56)가 상기 식물블럭(40)을 관통하여 실내로 연결되어 있다. 따라서, 상기 공기덕트(52)를 상기 토출유로(56)에 연결하면 정화된 공기가 실내로 공급될 수 있다.An air duct 52 which transfers the air collected from the hood 50 is connected to the discharge passage 56. Of course, the air duct 52 may deliver air to the room through a separate path. In this embodiment, the discharge passage 56 is connected to the room through the plant block 40. Therefore, when the air duct 52 is connected to the discharge passage 56, purified air may be supplied to the room.
한편, 상기 급수관(80)은 상기 식물블럭(40)의 각각의 고정리브(48')에 압입시켜 고정할 수 있고, 상기 급수원(82)이나 펌프(86)와 연결되어 물을 공급받고, 배수관(88)을 통해 남은 물을 모아 전달하도록 설치하게 된다.On the other hand, the water supply pipe 80 may be fixed by pressing in each of the fixed ribs 48 'of the plant block 40, it is connected to the water supply source 82 or the pump 86 is supplied with water, It is installed to collect and deliver the remaining water through the drain pipe (88).
이와 같이 설치된 본 발명의 식물을 사용한 공기청정기에서는 상기 팬(54)을 구동시키면, 상기 식물(P)들에서 정화되어 나온 공기가 상기 후드(50)로 모이게 된다. 상기 식물(P)들에서 정화되어 나온 공기와 실내의 공기는 상기 팬(54)의 동작에 의해 상기 후드(50)로 유입되는데, 상기 식물필터(60)의 식생토를 통과하면서 먼지가 걸러지고 식물필터(60)의 식생토와 식물(P)의 뿌리에서 만들어진 성분들이 함께 섞이게 된다.In the air cleaner using the plant of the present invention installed as described above, when the fan 54 is driven, the air purified from the plants P is collected in the hood 50. The air purged from the plants P and the indoor air are introduced into the hood 50 by the operation of the fan 54. The dust is filtered while passing through the vegetation soil of the plant filter 60. Ingredients made from the vegetation soil of the plant filter 60 and the root of the plant (P) are mixed together.
그리고, 상기 부가필터(58)가 설치된 경우에는 부가필터(58) 내에 있는 성분에 의해 공기 중에 섞인 오염물질이 함께 제거된다. 이와 같이 식물필터(60)와 부가필터(58)를 통과한 공기는 상기 후드(50)에 모이고, 상기 팬(54)의 동작에 의해 상기 후드(50)에서 상기 공기덕트(54)로 유동되어 상기 토출유로(56)를 통해 실내로 공급된다.In addition, when the additional filter 58 is installed, the contaminants mixed in the air are removed together by the components in the additional filter 58. Air passing through the plant filter 60 and the additional filter 58 is collected in the hood 50, and flows from the hood 50 to the air duct 54 by the operation of the fan 54. It is supplied to the room through the discharge passage 56.
따라서, 상기 식물블럭(40)들 사이사이에 설치된 후드(50)에 의해 팬(54)의 흡입력이 작용하여 후드(50)로 상기 식물(P)들에서 정화된 공기가 모이고, 유기질과 무기질 먼지가 식물필터(60)와 부가필터(58)를 통과하면서 걸러진다. 이와 같은 과정을 거쳐 상기 후드(50)로는 정화된 공기가 공급되고, 상기 팬(54)의 동작에 의해 상기 공기덕트(52)를 통해 토출유로(56)를 거쳐 실내로 전달된다.Accordingly, the suction force of the fan 54 is acted by the hood 50 installed between the plant blocks 40 to collect the air purified from the plants P by the hood 50, and organic and inorganic dusts.
