  A plurality of substantially rectangular cells 7 are recessed in the mat frame 2, and adjacent cells 7 are connected to each other at their upper ends by connecting ribs 5 b. A peripheral rib 5 a having substantially the same height as the connecting rib 5 b is provided at the upper end portion of the cell 7 at the outer peripheral portion of the mat frame 2. In the vicinity of the center of each side of the bottom surface of each cell 7, four openings 6 are provided from the bottom surface side to the bottom of the side surface.

  The thicknesses of the ribs 5 (peripheral ribs 5a and connecting ribs 5b) are made flexible so that they can follow the unevenness of the laying surface (slabs) well, and at the same time, the mat frame 2 can be directly or Even if a person lays on the floor, it is necessary to have a thickness that does not crush, and it is necessary to set the thickness to 0.4 to 2.0 mm, for example. Thus, the mat frame 2 is supported by the bottom surfaces of the plurality of cells 7 and has a sense of stability due to bending, and has a shape that can be spread on a slab surface such as a rooftop. In addition, the thickness of the cell 7 needs the same consideration as the thickness of the rib 5.

  The mat frame 2 is preferably made of a synthetic resin, such as vinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene, polystyrene, etc., and formed by a molding method such as vacuum molding, blow molding, injection molding, or extrusion molding. The Note that the size of the mat frame 2 is appropriate, and in the example, it was 500 × 500 × 100 mm.

  Although the magnitude | size of the opening part 6 is appropriate, it must be made into the magnitude | size which can respond to the irrigation to the planting mat 1. FIG. That is, it may be suitable for discharging excess water from the irrigation water to the planting mat 1 using a watering can or the like and for absorbing water from a water retention layer described later. The discharged water flows on a slab surface having a slope for drainage and is drained by a drainage drain.

  In order to clarify the arrangement of the filter 3 and the plant growing material 4 of the planting mat 1, a configuration diagram of the planting mat according to the present invention is shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the connecting rib 5b is formed in a cross-shaped wide shape at the vertical and horizontal centers of the mat frame 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, it is possible to form the peripheral ribs 5a and the connecting ribs 5b in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction at appropriate positions so as to be wide. . Further, the width of the rib 5 is appropriately determined as necessary.

  And you may use it combining only the planting mat 1 which has the rib 5 made wide, or may be used in combination with the planting mat 1 which does not have the rib 5 made wide.

  The planting mat 1 having the wide rib 5 has an effect of facilitating the installation of the water supply pipe in the arrangement of the irrigation device described later.

  Next, an embodiment in which the partition member 8 is formed in the cell 7 of the mat frame 2 used for the planting mat 1 will be described. FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a mat frame in which the partition member 8 is integrally formed, and each cell 7 is divided into the defining portion 7 a by the wall-shaped partition member 8.

  In the present embodiment, the wall-type partition member 8 is integrally molded when the mat frame 2 is manufactured. Although the shape of the partition member 8 is a cross shape, the shape is not limited to this, and the shape such as a lattice shape is appropriate. The height of the partition member 8 was set to be substantially the same as the height of the rib 5 connecting the cells 7.

  Moreover, the thick part 9 is formed in the center part of the partition member 8 in the cell 7, and the upper part of four edge parts, and the small hole 10 is provided in the top surface. The small holes 10 serve to fix the seed sheet 17 when the seed sheet 17 is used.

  In the case where the cell 7 is divided into the defined portions 7a by the wall-shaped partition member 8, it is preferable to provide the opening 6 near the bottom surface of the cell 7 for each defined portion 7a for water flow. Instead of providing for each 7 a, a notch for communication between the defining portions 7 a may be formed in the lower portion of the partition member 8, and water may be passed through the opening 6 such as one location of the cell 7.

  The partition member 8 is formed integrally with the mat frame 2. However, the partition member 8 and the mat frame 2 may be separated, and as an example, an enlargement of the mat frame in which a separate partition member is arranged in FIG. A sectional view taken along the line C-C is shown in the plan view and FIG.

  In the present embodiment, a cross-shaped partition member 8 is disposed as a separate member in the cell 7, and a thick portion 9 is formed at the center portion of the partition member 8 and the upper portion of the four end portions in the same manner as described above. The small hole 10 is provided in the top surface. Although the height of the partition member 8 is substantially the same as the height of the rib 5 of the cell 7, it is not limited to this.

  A raised portion 11 is formed from the lower side surface of the cell 7 toward the center of the bottom surface, and an opening 6 for water passage is provided on the upper surface of the end portion of the raised portion 11 toward the center of the cell 7. Yes. The inside of the raised portion 11 is a concave groove 11a that is an inverted U-shaped space, and excess water that has passed through the opening 6 is discharged from the concave groove 11a.

  Examples of a separate partition member 8 are shown in FIGS. FIG. 14A is a perspective view of the partition member 8 that is integrally fitted vertically, and FIG. 14B is a perspective view of the partition member in a fitted state. The two flat plates 8a are integrally fitted up and down at the notch 12 to form the partition member 8. FIG. 15 is a perspective view of the partition member 8 that fits into the recesses and projections, and the projections 13 and the recesses 14 fit into the recesses and projections in the center plane of the two substantially right-angle plates 8 to form the partition member 8. FIG. 16 is a perspective view of the partition member 8 that engages the arc portion with the concave and convex portions. At the center portion of the two curved plates 8b, the arc convex portion 15 and the arc concave portion 16 engage the concave and convex portions with the partition member 8. To do.

  Since these partition members 8 are all separable, they do not take up space during storage and carry-in, and the partition member 8 in FIG. 14 can be folded in the fitted state by rotating in the direction of the arrow. Even if it is not separated, there is an effect similar to the above to some extent.

  An example of the planting mat 1 is shown in FIG. A filter 3 (not shown) is laid in each cell 7 of the mat frame 2, and a separate cross-shaped partition member 8 is disposed on the filter 3. The cell 7 is divided into the defining portion 7 a by the arrangement of the partition member 8. In each defined portion 7 a, the plant growing material 4 is packed up to the upper end of the rib 5.

  When the partition member 8 is used, the strength against the pressure from the upper part of the mat frame 2 is increased and reinforced, so that maintenance and inspection are performed when the mat frame 2 is laid, when the planting mat 1 is laid, or after laying is completed. When walking on the top of the mat frame 2, the mat frame 2 is prevented from being damaged, and the roots of plants such as the grass of the planting mat 1 are alleviated.

  Moreover, about the plant growth material 4 in each cell 7, since it will prevent the center part of the land for a long period of time in the case of customer soil and the movement in the case of light soil and light block material, the plant growth material 4 It has the effect of always maintaining good conditions for plant growth.

  The partition member 8 can also be applied to the mat frame 2 in which the connecting rib 5b in FIG. 8 is lower than the peripheral rib 5a. After the plant growing material 4 is packed to the height of the connecting rib 5b, the cut grass is arranged on the upper surface. When finishing the joint, it may be substantially flush with the peripheral rib 5a.

  Next, a method (planting equipment) for laying the planting mat 1 according to the present invention using the water retention layer 21 will be described.

  FIG. 18A is a plan view when a planting mat is laid on the upper part of the water retention layer, and FIG. 18B is a sectional view taken along the line DD. In this laying method, a screen-like (planar) water-retaining layer 21 is formed on the laying surface 20, and the required number of planting mats 1 is spread on the water-retaining layer 21. For the water retaining layer 21, a woven / nonwoven fabric using a chemical fiber or a natural fiber, felt, a water-absorbing polymer processed into a sheet, or a composite thereof is used.

  By adopting the above laying method, a part of the surplus water such as irrigation from the upper part by watering, rain, etc., is stored in the water retention layer 21 without being drained to the drainage drain, and the plant growing material in the cell 7 When the water 4 becomes insufficient, the water in the water retaining layer 21 is absorbed by the capillary action from the opening 6 at the bottom. Therefore, the water retention layer 21 serves as a water supply source for the plant growth material 4 and does not have to worry about withering, greatly contributes to plant growth and is easy to manage.

  The presence of the water-retaining layer 21 can favorably maintain the moisture-growing conditions of the plant even if the plant-growing material 4 serving as a plant growth medium is reduced. It has the effect of reducing the load burden.

This is an example of a combination of the mat frame 2 and the water tank tray 28, and is laid on a water tank tray 28 capable of storing four mat frames 2 having 16 cells. The connecting means of the adjacent peripheral ribs 5a when the mat frame 2 is spread is the same as that shown in FIGS. 9 (a) to 9 (d).

  FIG. 29 is a perspective view of the mat frame 2 having 16 cells 7 and a water tank tray 28 that can accommodate four of them. For convenience of explanation, the water tank tray 28 is divided into four blocks 30, respectively. Water tanks 29 of different sizes are defined.

  The block 30 a accommodates one water tank 29 for one of the mat frames 2 having 16 cells 7. The block 30 b accommodates eight cells 7 in one water tank 29 and accommodates one of the mat frames 2 having 16 cells in two water tanks 29. The block 30 c accommodates four cells 7 in one water tank 29, and accommodates one of the mat frames 2 having 16 cells 7 in four water tanks 29. The block 30 d accommodates one cell 7 in one water tank 29, and accommodates one of the mat frames 2 having 16 cells 7 in 16 water tanks 29.

  In the upper part of the water tank defining portion 29a between the block 30a and the block 30c, a water passage recess 27a is formed by cutting out one part so as to communicate with each water tank 29. Even in other portions, the water flow into the respective water storage tanks 29 can be facilitated by forming the water flow recesses 27a as shown by chain lines.

  FIG. 30 is a perspective view of a water tank tray provided with a plurality of water tanks. The water tank tray 28 is partitioned into a plurality of water tanks 29, and one cell 7 can correspond to one water tank 29.

  If the number of cells 7 allocated to one water storage tank 291 is reduced, water supply to the plant growing material 4 in each cell 7 is ensured, and in this embodiment, the water storage tank 29 and the cell 7 are one-to-one. It will be better if it corresponds. In this case, if a water passage recess 27a is formed at the upper end portion of the defining portion 29a of the water storage tank 29 to facilitate water flow to each water tank 29, water replenishment is further ensured. Furthermore, if the slope for drainage of the laying surface 20 of the planting mat 1 is used, more effective and efficient water supply can be realized.

  Next, an example in which adjacent water tank trays 28 are connected to each other will be described.

  FIG. 31 is a perspective view showing a connected state of the water tank trays. In the method of laying the planting mat 1 according to the present embodiment, a required number of recessed water tank trays 28 that can store the planting mat 1 are laid on the laying surface 20 of the planting mat 1, and the water tank tray 28 is filled with the required number. The planting mat 1 is laid, and the side surface upper ends 28 a of the water tank trays 28 are connected by a connecting member 31.

  Each water tank tray 28 has a connecting member 31 made of synthetic resin, specifically a substantially inverted U-shaped linear connecting member 31a, a substantially cross-shaped connecting member 31b, over the entire length of the adjacent side upper end 28a. The substantially T-shaped connecting member 31c is fitted and fitted to each other.

  When the water tank trays 28 are connected to each other, it is possible to exchange the excess water stored between the adjacent water tank trays 28. From this point, the water flow recess 27a is formed on the side surface upper end portion 28a of the water tank tray 28. If it is provided, it becomes more advantageous.

  Here, an example in which the cutout recess 34 is formed in the water tank tray 28 will be described. FIG. 32 is a perspective view showing a modified example of the connection state between the water tank trays.

  The method for laying the planting mat 1 according to the present embodiment uses the water tank tray 28 in which the cutout recess 32 is formed in the side upper end portion 28a, and the cutout recess 32 between the water tank trays 28 is adjacent to the laying surface 20. In this manner, the water tank tray 28 is laid down, and the connecting member 31d is fitted into the notch recesses 32, and the water tank tray 28 is fitted.
