Description

  The present invention relates to a water pump. More specifically, the present invention relates to a water pump used for watering of vases, water vases, etc., watering potted flowers, watering of fishbowls, moving water between containers, etc. Is.

  The present applicant provides a water exchanger for vases (hereinafter referred to as “conventional water exchanger”) in Utility Model Registration No. 3108976.

In the conventional water exchanger, a suction pipe provided with a first check valve and a discharge pipe provided with a second check valve are communicated with the lower end of an expandable / contractible elastic grip tube, Is a water exchanger for vases characterized by being bent to the discharge pipe side.
Utility Model Registration No. 3108976

  In the above conventional water exchanger, although the upper part of the suction pipe is bent toward the discharge pipe, the suction pipe is not flexible, so the size of the object to be viewed inserted in the vase, Depending on the height, shape, etc., the water exchanger may not be used without being brought into contact with the object to be viewed.

In this application, “subjects” refers to plant branches, leaves, flowers, and other objects that are inserted in a vase for ornamental purposes.

  When changing the water in the vase, if the changer comes in contact with the object inserted in the vase, not only the arrangement of the object in the vase is disturbed, but also the petals and other parts of the object fall. There is also a fear.

  In addition, the conventional water exchanger has a problem that it is bulky during packaging, transportation, storage, and the like.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems in the conventional water exchange device, and not only changes the vase, water vase, etc., but also waters potted flowers, changes the fishbowl, and moves water between containers. The present invention has been made in an attempt to provide a water pump that is preferably used for the above-mentioned.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a vase water pump.

(1) A suction pipe provided with a first check valve and a discharge pipe provided with a second check valve are communicated with the lower end of the inflatable / contractible elastic grip tube, and the suction pipe and the discharge pipe are each flexible. A water pump characterized by having a property (Claim 1).

(2) A locking means for locking the suction pipe and the discharge pipe is provided at the lower end of the elastic grip tube (claim 2).

[Operation of device]
[Convention of claim 1]
For example, when the water in the vase is discharged using the water pump of claim 1, the lower end of the suction pipe is positioned in the water in the vase while the object to be watched is inserted in the vase, and the discharge pipe Place the lower end in an empty container such as a bucket placed near the vase. After the elastic grip tube is gripped by the hand and contracted by the grip force, the elastic grip tube is released from the grip force. When appropriate, the elastic grip tube expands to its original state due to elasticity. The elastic grip tube performs a suction action by expanding. Then, the first check valve of the suction pipe opens and the second check valve of the discharge pipe closes, and the water in the vase rises up the suction pipe, passes through the first check valve, and flows into the elastic grip tube. .

  Subsequently, when the elastic hand tube filled with water is contracted again by hand, the first check valve of the suction pipe is closed and the second check valve of the discharge pipe is opened. It passes through the check valve and is discharged from the discharge pipe into a container such as a bucket.

  The expansion and contraction of the elastic grip tube as described above is continuously repeated until there is no water in the vase.

  After the water in the vase is exhausted, the old water in a bucket or the like is discarded, new water is placed in the container, and the container is placed in the vicinity of the vase. Subsequently, the tip of the suction pipe is positioned in the water in the container, the tip of the discharge pipe is positioned in the vase, and new water in the container is transferred to the vase by the same operation as described above.

[Convention of claim 2]
When the water pump is packaged, transported, stored, etc., the suction pipe and the discharge pipe are bent and locked to the locking means at the lower end of the elastic grip tube. See FIG.

[Convention of claim 1]
Since the suction pipe and the discharge pipe of the water pump are each flexible, the water pump can be used without being brought into contact with an object to be viewed inserted into the vase, for example, when changing the water of the vase. Moreover, since the suction pipe and the discharge pipe of the water pump are flexible, the water pump can be used for various operations such as watering the pot flowers, changing the water in the fishbowl, and moving the water between the containers. .

[Convention of claim 2]
When the water pump is packaged, transported, stored, etc., the water pump can be folded in a compact manner by folding the suction pipe and the discharge pipe and locking them with the locking means at the lower end of the elastic grip tube.

  What is shown by the code | symbol 1 is an elastic grip tube which can be expanded and contracted. The elastic grip tube 1 contracts by gripping force when grasped by a hand, and expands to its original state by elasticity when released from the gripping force. The elastic grip tube 1 is a bellows tube as an example.

  A suction pipe 3 and a discharge pipe 5 are communicated with the lower end of the elastic barrel 1.

  The suction pipe 3 is provided with a first check valve 7. The first check valve 7 opens to allow water to flow from the suction pipe 3 to the elastic gripping cylinder 1 when the elastic gripping cylinder 1 expands and performs a suction action. The first check valve 7 is closed to prevent the water from flowing from the elastic gripping tube 1 to the suction pipe 3 when the first gripping tube 1 contracts and performs a discharging action.

  The discharge pipe 5 is provided with a second check valve 9. The second check valve 9 closes to prevent air or water from flowing into the elastic grip tube 1 from the discharge pipe 5 when the elastic grip tube 1 expands and performs a suction action. When the first handle 1 contracts and discharges, the second check valve 9 opens to allow water to flow from the elastic handle 1 to the discharge pipe 5.

  The suction pipe 3 and the discharge pipe 5 are flexible. The suction pipe 3 and the discharge pipe 5 are each a flexible hose, for example.

  In the illustrated example, a connecting pipe 10 is attached to the lower end of the elastic gripping cylinder 1, the suction pipe 3 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 10, and a first check valve 7 is provided in the vicinity of the one end. A discharge pipe 5 is connected to the other end of the connecting pipe 10 and a second check valve 9 is provided in the vicinity of the other end.

  A locking means 11 for locking the suction pipe 3 and the discharge pipe 5 is provided at the lower end of the elastic grip tube 1.

  The locking means 11 in the illustrated example has a plate-like body 13 attached to the lower end of the elastic gripping cylinder 1, and the plate-like body 13 has a notch 15 for locking the suction pipe 3 and the discharge pipe 5, respectively. 17 is formed. What is indicated by reference numeral 18 is a through-hole formed in the plate-like body 13.

  What is indicated by reference numeral 19 is an object to be viewed. What is indicated by reference numeral 21a is a vase as a vase. What is shown by the code | symbol 21b is a basin as a vase. What is shown by the code | symbol 23 is containers, such as a bucket.

It is a front view which shows a part of water pump by this invention. It is a top view which shows an example of a latching means. It is a front view which shows the state which latched the suction pipe and the discharge pipe with the latching means. It is a front view which shows an example of the use condition of the water pump by this invention. It is a front view which shows another example of the use condition of the water pump by this invention.
