Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention automatically supplies an appropriate amount of natural water to a plurality of horticultural grass and flower pots without using electric power, etc. The present invention relates to a water supply device which always stores fresh water as emergency drinking water in a water storage tank configured by.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, water supply from a water pipe using a hose,
Water was supplied from a small water supply tank by using the capillarity or the like, or each electric flowerpot was supplied by using an electric automatic water supply device. In addition, there is no device that can transport and move emergency beverages, automatically, and always keep fresh water.

Each of the conventional methods has the following drawbacks. (1) The method of supplying water to each flowerpot from the water pipe requires opening and closing the water tap each time the water is supplied, and there is a risk of dying the plants in the absence of a long period of summer. (2) Natural water supply from a small water tank cannot be used for a long time because the amount of water stored is limited by the capacity of the water tank. Further, the water supply by the automatic water supply device is expensive. (3) On the other hand, water stored as emergency drinking water needs to be refilled periodically because it rots in a few weeks, which is difficult in terms of implementation such as refilling work and cost. (4) The water storage system directly connected to the water pipe requires a pressure resistant tank, is difficult to transport in an installation location and in an emergency, and has a special water storage container for preventing spoilage, but it is extremely expensive.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, in the present invention, a depressurization tank is installed above a plant or the like to be water-supplied, and tap water depressurized in the depressurization tank is further controlled by a water supply controller. The above-mentioned problems are solved by utilizing the above-mentioned method to supply natural water or dripping water to potted plants and the like and to constantly secure emergency drinking water.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. The water supply device has a water supply function for potted plants and the like and a water storage function for emergency drinking water, and these functions can be used individually or simultaneously. (1) Water supply function for potted plants, etc. A depressurization tank 5 which is equipped with a ball tap 3 in a hollow container 2 with a lid 1 and a water tap 4 on the lateral side is several meters from a potted plant to be watered. Installed at a high position and connected to the water main pipe 0. B. A hollow container 6 is divided into a control room 9 and a water supply room 10 by a wall 8 having a water vent hole 7, and a buoyant body 12 having a rubber plate 11 attached to the upper surface is put in the control room 9 and a top part is covered with a lid 13. Water supply port 14 for covering and supplying water into the control room 9 from the upper center of the lid 13.
A water supply controller 15 which is attached by projecting about 0.5 mm from the inner surface. (C) The water supply controller 15 is connected to the water tap 4 of the depressurization tank 5 via the water hose 16 and the water divider 17 with a water shutoff valve. (D) The water supply chamber 10 and the bowl plate 19 are connected to each other by the water supply core 18, and the water supply core 18 is connected to the flower pot 20 for natural water supply. (E) The water passage hose 16 is connected to the water diverter 17 with the water shutoff valve, and the amount of water is controlled by the water shutoff valve of the water diverter 17 with the water shutoff valve to perform dripping water supply. (2) Water storage function for emergency drinking water a. The depressurization tank 5 is installed at a sufficient height, and is connected from the bottom to the water storage tank 23 composed of a plurality of plastic tanks 22 and the like by the water supply pipe 21. The water supply pipe 21 from the last outlet is connected to a water tap faucet 24 which is normally used in the house. B. The plurality of plastic tanks 22 are connected by a connecting pipe 25 and a water pipe cap 26. The depressurizing tank 5, the water supply controller 15, the water flow hose 16,
A water supply device including a water divider 17 with a water shutoff valve, a water supply core 18, a water tank 23, and the like.

The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and when using this, the depressurizing tank is installed at a position several meters higher than the potted plant or the like to be water-supplied, and is connected to the water main pipe to provide a water tap. Connect the water hose to the water supply and connect it to the water supply controller through the water divider with a shutoff valve. (1) The water supply controller is connected to the pot plate with the water supply core, and water is supplied by using the capillary phenomenon with the water supply core attached to the bottom hole of the flowerpot. (3) On the other hand, the emergency drinking water storage tank connected to the depressurization tank is installed in a relatively safe place, such as under the eaves or under the floor, and tap water is used at the faucet that is normally used inside the house. The water in each plastic tank is stirred each time, and fresh tap water is always secured. (4) In the event of a disaster such as an earthquake, after confirming the safety, remove the water pipe cap, disconnect it, and move to the evacuation site instead of the normal cap. (5) For normal use in a faucet, water pressure can be obtained by installing a depressurization tank at a high position. If high water pressure is required for car washing, etc., connect directly to the water pipe.

According to the present invention, the depressurization tank is installed at a position several meters higher than the potted plant or the like to be water-supplied, whereby the high pressure of tap water is controlled by the ball tap of the depressurization tank and the water supply is controlled. Water the vessel at low pressure. The water supply controller maintains a constant water level, and supplies the required amount of water for the plant from a water supply core attached to the bottom of the flowerpot. For this reason, it is connected to the water supply, there is no limit to the amount of water supply, and stable water supply is possible for a long time. (A) It is possible to connect the water dip with stop valve and the water supply controller to increase or decrease the number of flower pots, etc., to be watered as necessary. (C) Water can be supplied to each flower pot etc. in the required amount for plants, and for directly planted plants, the water supply amount can be adjusted by dropping water for each target plant. D. If the position is lower than the depressurization tank, it is possible to drip water to plants in the hanging pot. Fully automatic water supply is possible without using human power, electricity or mechanical power. (F) It is composed of inexpensive members that are generally commercially available, and the structure of the entire device is extremely simple and inexpensive, and the effect is outstanding. By connecting a plastic tank water storage tank between the depressurization tank and the tap, you can keep your emergency drinking water fresh.
In addition, secure without performing replacement work.
