Abstract

(57) [Problem] To provide an apparatus capable of automatically sprinkling a potted plant with an appropriate amount of water at predetermined time intervals. SOLUTION: A water tank, a pump connected to the water tank through a suction pipe, a motor for driving the pump, a power supply for supplying power to the motor, and a power supply for supplying power to the motor are provided on an upper surface of a bottom plate at predetermined time intervals. The plant was planted on the upper surface of the base plate, which was set up so that the power was turned off at set intervals, and the top plate was formed so as to rise up from the bottom plate and cover the top of the bottom plate horizontally. A pot is placed, and a watering pipe is piped from the outlet of the pump to immediately above the pot.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the present invention pertains] The present invention relates to an automatic watering device for potted plants.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a house is left out for a long time, there is no device capable of watering a potted plant at predetermined time intervals, and the potted plant is left without watering. Or something.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the present invention] In view of this point, an object of the present invention is to provide a device capable of automatically spraying an appropriate amount of water to a potted plant at a predetermined time.

[0004]

[MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a water tank, a pump connected to the water tank via a suction pipe, and a pump driven on the upper surface of the bottom plate. A motor, a power supply to energize the motor, and a timer that operates to energize the motor at set intervals and shut off the energization at set intervals are installed. On the upper surface of the base plate formed so as to cover horizontally, a pot with a plant is placed, and a sprinkling pipe is piped from the discharge port of the pump to directly above the pot. is there.

[0005]

[Embodiment of the Invention] A bottom plate having an appropriate area is formed from hard plastic, wood, metal or other appropriate material. On the upper surface of the bottom plate, a water tank, a pump connected to the water tank via a suction pipe, a motor for driving the pump, a power supply for energizing the motor, and a motor for energizing the motor at set intervals are provided. A timer that operates so as to cut off the energization every set time is installed. A base made of hard plastic, wood, metal or other suitable material is fixed to the bottom plate so that it rises from the periphery and covers the top of the bottom plate horizontally. A pot with a plant is placed on the upper surface of the platform. A watering pipe is installed from the discharge port of the pump to just above the bowl.

[0006] In the automatic watering apparatus for potted plants having the above configuration, water is poured into a water tank, and a timer is used to set a time interval for watering and a time interval for watering an appropriate amount of water according to the potted plants. When the house is absent, the power is supplied to the motor and the pump is driven every time the time set by the timer elapses, so that the water in the water tank is automatically sent to the pot through the watering pipe. Sprinkled. Then, every time the appropriate amount of water is sprinkled according to the plants planted in the pot, the power to the motor is shut off by the timer, the pump stops operating, and the sprinkling is automatically stopped. Therefore, the potted plant can be prevented from weakening or withering.

[0007]

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Is provided with a frame wall 2. On the upper surface of the bottom plate 1, a cap 3 is detachably fitted to the inlet, and a water tank 5 containing water 4, a pump 7 connected to the water tank 5 via a suction pipe 6, and a pump 7 A motor 8 to be turned on, a power supply unit 9 for energizing the motor 8, and a timer 10 that operates to energize the motor 8 at set intervals and to shut off the energization at set intervals are provided. The timer 10 can set four time intervals, for example, every 12 hours, every 24 hours, every 48 hours, and every 72 hours, and also can set a time interval for spraying an appropriate amount of water according to a potted plant. Use the one configured as follows. The power supply unit 9 may use a commercial power supply of 100 V, a rechargeable battery, or a dry cell such as an AA battery.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a bed formed so as to rise up from the periphery of the bottom plate 1 and cover the upper side of the bottom plate 1 horizontally, for example, has a size of 80 mm in height, and has a lower end portion fitted to the frame wall 2. And fixed with screw bolts 12. Reference numeral 13 denotes a hole provided on a side surface of the base 11 at a position facing the outlet 14 of the power supply unit 9, and a plug 15 connected to a commercial power supply or a charging device is inserted into the outlet 14 through the hole 13. Numeral 16 denotes a flower pot placed on the upper surface of the base plate 11, on which cacti and other plants 17 are planted. Numeral 18 denotes a watering pipe, which is arranged so as to pass from a discharge port of the pump 7 to a hole 19 provided on a side wall of the base plate 10 and to reach just above the flowerpot 16.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the dimensions of the bottom plate 1 and the base plate 11 may be changed to dimensions other than those shown in the above embodiment. The arrangement of the devices installed on the upper surface of the vehicle may be changed to an arrangement other than the arrangement shown in the above embodiment, and the timer 10 may have a time interval other than the four time intervals shown in the above embodiment. The design can be changed as appropriate, such as by using one that can set

[0010]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, when the house is left out of the house for a long time, the present invention can be used to water the potted plants at predetermined intervals. In addition, the amount of watering can be adjusted to an appropriate amount according to the potted plant, so that the potted plant can be prevented from weakening or withering.
