Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flowering plant-watering system which can save a water resource, can save the cost of water in an area where the price of the tap water is high, can water and simultaneously sterilize with a sterilizer, because dropping pipes are clogged with proliferated algae to stop the dropping of water, when the dropping pipes are used for a long period, can apply a liquid fertilizer, can largely save a watering work, and enables even elderly people to easily grow a flowing plant and a green plant. SOLUTION: Water left in a bathtub can be used to save the water resource. An algicide is sometimes poured in a water tank 3 to prevent the generation of algae. If necessary, a liquid fertilizer and a sterilizer can be poured in the water tank 3 to manure and sterilize.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to irrigation of planters, flowerpots and the like in general households and the like. It aims to provide a cheap system that meets the demands of the world, who want to moisturize their lives and decorate and grow flowers and greenery.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Irrigation of flower pots and planters involves
This is done with a bucket and ladle or tap. However, when the number of flower pots and the like is large, there are the following problems. The burden is particularly heavy on the elderly. As a publicly known example, there is JP-A-63-263023.

[0003] In the case of dew dew, it takes time to irrigate and it is difficult to irrigate a hanging pot at a high position. In buckets and ladles, the water is strong and the soil is washed away. The use of tap water is uneconomical and cannot be fertilized or disinfected. In the known example, there is no countermeasure against algae, and micro-tubes are expected to be clogged. Therefore, stable operation for a long period of time is difficult. There was such a problem. The present invention provides a system that is inexpensive enough to be adopted in ordinary households.

[0004]

The water is finely divided so as to be able to irrigate a large number of flowerpots and planters at a time with minimum effort. In this case, the drip tube is used for a long time,
Take countermeasures since water algae may proliferate inside and clog the tubules. Regardless of the height position of the flower pots and the like, the amount of irrigation of each flower pot and the like can be adjusted. The water for irrigation uses the remaining water in the bath effectively and saves water resources. Fertilize and disinfect as necessary.

[0005]

As shown in FIG. 1, a bathtub 1 is provided.
The remaining water is supplied by the electric pump 2 to the water supply tank 3 located at a position higher than the hanging pot 9. The amount of water sent at this time (liter)
Can be adjusted according to the set time of the digital timer 15. The water reaches the branch pipe 10 through the water supply pipe 4 by natural flow from the water supply tank 3. The stop valve 5 is always open, and is closed when necessary for changing the shape of a flowerpot or cleaning.

Further, the water passes through the drip tube 11 and the water amount adjusting valve 6. At this time, by rotating the screw 16 shown in FIG.
It is dropped at 7 mag. The main body of the water amount adjusting valve 6 is the U-shaped bracket 1
5 is formed by screwing a perforated, torsioned screw 16 and can be provided at extremely low cost. Thereby, the water supply amount of a large number of drip points can be adjusted individually, so that water supply can be performed according to the growth state of each plant.

When performing fertilization or disinfection, the injector 13 is operated to inject the liquid fertilizer or the chemical from the liquid fertilizer or the chemical liquid container 12 into the water supply tank 3 and mix them. A chemical solution or the like is injected by the reciprocation of the check valve 14 and the piston of the injector 13. During the high temperature period in summer, algae are generated inside the transparent drip tube 11, clogging the drip tube and causing a problem that water supply is stopped. Suspension of water supply must be avoided as it may kill important plants.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As a countermeasure, an anti-algae agent (eg, wood vinegar, Aldy Destroyer, etc.) can be injected by the injector 13 as required, and can be operated safely over a long period of time. It is effective to change the concentration of the anti-algal agent to the portion where algae are generated, and locally remove the drip tube 11 at the outlet of the stop valve 5 and inject the anti-algal agent.

[0009]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the system of the present invention. If the water tank 3 is installed on the roof of the first floor, and the rainwater falling on the roof of the second floor is guided from the rain gutter to the water tank, the water saving effect is further improved.
The water supply in the water tank 3 has the energy of the position,
By using this, it can be applied to watering the lawn of the garden, washing the car, and flushing the toilet.

[0010]

According to the present invention, it is possible to save water resources and save water bills.
It is a gospel for areas with high water bills and for municipalities that lack water. Saves labor and time for irrigation. Elderly and busy people can enjoy growing flowers. There is no clogging of the drip tube due to the generation of algae, and the system can be operated stably for a long period of time, so that reliable irrigation can be expected.
