Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an artificial pond and a water plate, and more particularly, to an artificial pond capable of removing floating debris without requiring a dedicated power and a water plate used for the artificial pond.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional artificial pond, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
Floating debris is removed using an apparatus described in JP-A-78977, JP-A-8-192012, JP-A-9-291522 and the like.

The apparatus described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-178977 is an apparatus in which a fine screen is provided on the outer periphery of a rotating drum and floating dust is scraped off the water surface by the fine screen by rotating the rotating drum. is there.

The apparatus described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-201212 is an apparatus for rotating a screw pump to scrape floating debris from the water surface and remove it.

[0005] The apparatus described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-291522 is an apparatus that removes floating debris by using a high-pressure pump to suck up floating debris together with water.

[0006]

In the above-mentioned conventional artificial pond, a dedicated power is required to remove floating debris, and there is a problem that the equipment cost and the running cost are increased. Therefore, a first object of the present invention is to provide an artificial pond capable of easily removing floating dust without requiring dedicated power. A second object of the present invention is to provide a water plate that can be suitably used in the artificial pond.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a reservoir having a depth of 10 cm or more and having an overflow overflow in all or a part of the surrounding area, and a reservoir 2 to 5 cm below the surface of the reservoir. A water plate supported by supporting legs so as to be horizontal or at a gentle inclination, and a garbage collection pit disposed outside the overflow weir so that floating garbage that has flowed over the overflow weir can be collected. To provide an artificial pond characterized by the following. In the artificial pond of the present invention, 2 to 5 cm below the surface of the reservoir
The water in the reservoir is separated into a water surface and a bottom surface by a water plate provided so as to be substantially parallel to the water surface.
The water surface flow (flow near the water surface) generated by the wind or the fountain is faster than the case where no fractionation is performed (that is, the case where no water plate is provided). As a result, the suspended solids quickly flow to the periphery of the reservoir and flow over the overflow crest to the solid waste collection pit. Therefore, floating dust can be easily removed without requiring a dedicated power. In addition, since the bottom side is hidden by the water plate, subsidence dust is not visible, and the appearance can be improved. In addition, if the upper surface of the water plate is black, the mirror effect of the water surface is strengthened, so that the landscape around the artificial pond is reflected on the water surface vividly, and the appearance can be improved. Also,
If you add a pattern to the upper surface of the water plate, you can enjoy the pattern through the water surface. In other words, the pattern attached to the bottom of the reservoir may be too deep to be seen or may be obscured by subsidence. Because there is no, you can enjoy enough.

[0008] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a water plate supported by supporting legs so that it can be used submerged 2 cm to 5 cm below the surface of the water in the artificial pond of the first aspect. The water plate can be suitably used in the artificial pond.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited by this. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an artificial pond according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
FIG. 2 is a top view of the artificial pond in FIG. 1. This artificial pond 100
Is a reservoir 1 having a depth of 10 cm or more and having an overflow 2 over the entire periphery (or a part thereof), and a horizontal (may be gently inclined) 2 to 5 cm below the surface of the reservoir 1. The water plate 3 supported by the supporting legs 4 and the refuse collection pit 6 disposed outside the overflow crest 2 so as to collect the floating refuse F flowing out over the overflow crest 2. I have it.

The water plate 3 is made of cast iron, and may be painted black, painted red or yellow, or painted with polka dots or wavy lines. The length of the support leg 4 is adjustable. In addition, the water plate 3 and the support leg 4 are only mounted on the bottom of the reservoir 1 and are not fixed.

A part of the refuse collection pit 6 is provided with a water intake filter 7 for taking in water that has flowed into the refuse collection pit 6 and preventing ingress of refuse. A fountain nozzle 8 is provided at the center of the reservoir 1. The water intake filter 7 and the fountain nozzle 8 are connected by a pump 9 and a pipe 10, and the water intake filter 7
The water taken in from the fountain is jetted from the fountain nozzle 8 and circulated.

Further, a light-up light source 11 driven by a lighting device 12 is provided below the water plate 3.

In the artificial pond 100, the water in the reservoir 1 is divided into a water surface side and a bottom surface side by a water plate 3 provided below the water surface. Therefore, as shown by arrows in FIG. 3, the flow caused by the wind or the fountain occurs substantially only on the water surface side, and a fast water surface flow occurs. (On the contrary,
If the water plate 3 is not provided, the flow is slow because the flow drags to deep water. Since such a fast water surface current is generated, the floating waste F quickly flows to the periphery of the reservoir 1, passes over the overflow crest 2, and flows out to the waste collection pit 6. Therefore, the floating dust F can be easily removed without requiring a dedicated power.

The non-floating debris sinks from between the water plates 3 to the bottom of the reservoir 1 and becomes subsided debris S. Since such sinking dust S is hidden by the water plate 3, it is not visible from the outside, and the appearance can be improved.

Since the water plate 3 hides the pipe 10 and the light-up light source 11, the appearance can be improved in this respect as well.

If the water plate 3 painted black is used, the mirror effect of the water surface is enhanced.
As shown in (2), a landscape like the building B around the artificial pond 100 is vividly reflected on the water surface (building image I), and the beauty can be improved. And the water plate 3
Subsidence dust S hardly accumulates on the top, and the effect of enhancing the mirror surface effect is maintained. (On the other hand, even if the bottom of the reservoir 1 is made black, the settlement refuse S accumulates, and the effect of strengthening the mirror effect soon diminishes.)

In addition, the water plate 3 painted with color
If the water plate 3 on which the pattern is drawn is used, the pattern can be enjoyed through the water surface. (On the other hand, even if a pattern is provided on the bottom of the reservoir 1, it is not easily enjoyed because it is deep and hard to see, or is hidden by the sinking waste S.)

It is preferable that the water plate 3 is periodically raised to polish its upper surface and to clean the bottom of the reservoir 1 (removal of the settling dust S).

[0019]

According to the artificial pond of the present invention, floating garbage can be discharged to the garbage collection pit with a fast surface current, so that floating garbage can be removed without requiring a dedicated power. Also, the water plate hides the sinking debris at the bottom of the reservoir, which can improve the appearance.
