Can be removed. Thereby, problems, such as a corrosion of a string body (61) and deterioration, are solved. In addition, since the bottom of the cap part (63) has an acute cone or pyramid shape, the fixing to the ground is ensured.
At the bottom of the cap part (63) formed in a cone or a pyramid, at least one discharge hole (631) is provided.
In the supply means (6) having such a configuration, the string body (61) sends out the liquid in the storage portion (31) to the distal end portion by capillary action, similarly to the liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. The liquid reaching the tip of the string body (61) is dropped inside the cap part (6), and the liquid is discharged from the discharge hole (631) to the root of the object such as an external plant.

FIG. 5 shows a form of a tubular supply mechanism (6) used in the liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. 3, and FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (e) show different forms.
Fig.5 (a) is the form which attached the string (61) to the front-end | tip part of the tube (64) connected to an accommodating part (31). The liquid stored in the container (31) passes through the tube (64) and permeates the string (61) disposed at the tip. Then, a small amount of liquid is discharged from the string body (61) to the outside. In addition, in the form shown to Fig.5 (a), you may attach the cap part (63) shown in FIG. 4 to the string body (61) of a front-end | tip.

FIG.5 (b) consists of the plug part (65) attached to the tube (64) connected to an accommodating part (31), and a tube (64) front-end | tip part.
A female thread portion (641) is formed on the inner wall surface of the distal end portion of the tube (64).
The plug portion (65) has a cylindrical shape, and includes a conduit portion (651) having an external thread portion (652) on the outer peripheral surface, and a fixed head portion (653) formed in an acute cone or pyramid shape at the tip. . The male screw portion (652) is screwed with the female screw portion (641), and the plug portion (65) is connected to the distal end portion of the tube (64).
A discharge hole (631) is formed in the middle of the conduit portion (651). The liquid flowing down through the tube (64) and reaching the plug part (65) is discharged from the discharge hole (631).
The fixed head portion (653) is inserted into the ground near the root of the desired plant. In this way, the supply means (6) is fixed to the ground.
The female screw portion (641) has a tapered female screw shape that decreases in diameter as it goes deeper, the male screw portion (652) has a shape corresponding to the female screw portion (641), and the conduit portion (651) is made of a flexible material. Thus, the liquid discharge amount from the discharge hole (631) can be adjusted by the screwing amount of the screw portions (641, 652). That is, if the screwing amount of the screw portions (641, 652) is increased, the flow path in the conduit portion (651) is narrowed, so the discharge amount from the discharge hole (631) is reduced and the screwing amount is reduced. Then, the flow path in the conduit part (651) becomes wider, and the liquid discharge amount from the discharge hole (631) increases.

FIG.5 (c) is a form using the tube (64) and the cap part (63) shown in FIG.
The tube (64) shown in FIG. 5 (c) includes a flow path (642) formed narrow at the tip. The flow path (642) has a circular cross section. A male screw portion (643) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the tube (64). The length of the male screw part (643) and the length of the flow path (642) are substantially equal.
The structure of the cap part (63) is substantially the same as the structure shown in FIG. 4, but an internal thread part (632) is formed on the inner wall surface.
The cap (63) is connected to the tip of the tube (64) by screwing the female thread (632) of the cap (63) and the male thread (643) of the tube (64).
The liquid flowing down through the tube (64) is discharged from a discharge hole (631) formed in the cap part (63) and supplied to an object such as a plant.
In addition, the female thread part (632) of the cap part (63) is formed in a taper shape that becomes smaller in diameter as it goes deeper, and the male thread part (643) of the tube (64) has a tapered shape corresponding to the female thread part (632). When formed, the discharge amount from the discharge hole (631) can be adjusted by the screwing amount of the female screw portion (632) and the male screw portion (643).
That is, if the screwing amount is increased, the diameter of the flow path (642) is reduced and the discharge amount is reduced. On the other hand, if the screwing amount is reduced, the discharge amount is increased.

FIG.5 (d) is a figure which shows the modification of FIG.5 (c).
The cone or pyramid at the tip of the cap (63) shown in FIG. 5 (d) is solid. And the drain hole (631) is provided in the part in which the internal thread part (632) is formed. One projection (633) protrudes from the inner bottom of the cap (63) and is inserted into the tip of the tube (64). The protrusion (633) has a conical shape, and is formed narrower toward the tip. The other structure is the same as that of the cap part (63) shown in FIG.5 (c).
The supply means (6) configured in this manner increases the threaded engagement of the male screw portion (643) and the female screw portion (632), so that the protrusion (633) enters the flow path (642) and flows. Since the road area is narrowed, the amount of liquid discharged from the discharge hole (631) is reduced. Conversely, if the screwing amount is reduced, the liquid discharge amount is increased.

FIG. 5 (e) shows a configuration in which a needle valve type discharge mechanism with a discharge amount control function is attached to the tip of the tube (64).
The discharge mechanism (66) includes an upper bottom portion (661) and a lower bottom portion (662), and a body portion (663) formed hollow.
A tubular connection portion (664) protrudes outward from the circumferential surface of the body portion (663), and the connection portion (664) is fitted onto the tube (64). The liquid flowing down through the tube (64) flows into the body part (663) through the connection part (664).
A tubular throttle part (665) is provided along the inner peripheral surface of the trunk part (663), and the throttle part (665) projects inward of the trunk part (663).
A conical penetrating portion (666) penetrates into the opening formed in the center of the throttle portion (665). From the upper part of the penetration part (666), a columnar adjustment part (667) is erected and connected to the upper bottom part (661). A screw portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the adjustment portion (667), and a screw portion that meshes with the screw portion is formed in an opening provided in the center of the upper bottom portion (661). A disc-shaped knob (668) is provided at the upper end of the adjustment part (667), and the penetration part (666) can be moved up and down by rotating the knob.
From the lower surface of the lower bottom portion (662), a conical or pyramid-shaped fixing portion (669) formed with an acute angle at the lower end protrudes. The fixing portion (669) has a pipe line inside, and the pipe line communicates with the space inside the body part (663).
A discharge hole (631) is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed portion (669). The discharge hole (631) communicates with the pipe line inside the fixed portion (669). As a result, the liquid flowing down through the tube (64) reaches the fixing portion (669) from the body portion (663) and is discharged from the discharge hole (631).
When the penetrating portion (666) is lowered by the rotation of the adjusting portion (667), the space between the throttle portion (665) and the outer peripheral surface of the penetrating portion (666) is narrowed, and the amount of liquid flowing to the fixing portion (669) is reduced. As a result, the amount of liquid discharged from the discharge hole (631) decreases. On the other hand, when the penetration part (666) is raised, the amount of liquid discharged from the discharge hole (631) is increased.

In the liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. 3, the stabilizer (71) and the spacer (72) are arranged above the fixture (7) to form a space between the liquid supply mechanism (1) and the ground. The space may be provided by other methods.

It is preferable that it can be changed.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing details of the pot tray (36). Fig. 8 (a) is a view of the bowl tray (36) seen from above, and Fig. 8 (b) is a side sectional view of the bowl tray (36).
The pot tray (36) includes an upper plate (361) that forms the upper surface thereof and a wall plate (362) that extends downward from the outer edge of the upper plate (361).
The upper plate (361) has a flat plate shape and includes a central opening (363) at the center thereof. The upper plate (361) includes a sliding door (364) that can slide along the upper surface of the bowl tray (36). When the sliding door (364) slides to the left or right, a space connecting the outer edge of the bowl tray (36) and the central opening (363) is formed.

As shown in FIG. 7, the wall plate (362) has a height such that the upper plate (361) is positioned higher than the lower end of the adapter portion (4). Further, the wall plate (362) includes at least one through hole (365), and allows the liquid to enter the basin tray (36).
In FIG. 8, the bowl tray (36) has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, but is not limited thereto, and a desired shape such as an ellipse or a circle can be selected as appropriate. In addition, when the shape of the bowl tray (36) is the same as the shape along the inner peripheral edge of the opening (34) of the storage part (31), it is possible to prevent invading pests such as mosquitoes from the upper surface, and the storage part (31 The hygiene inside can be suitably maintained.
Moreover, you may provide a small hole for draining, a groove | channel, etc. suitably on the upper surface of a bowl tray (36). Alternatively, the upper surface of the bowl tray (36) may be formed in a net shape.

As the plant cultivation container (37), a pot or a planter can be used as appropriate.
The plant cultivation container (37) contains soil for plant cultivation. Moreover, an opening part is provided in the bottom face of the plant cultivation container (37), and the string body (61) hangs downward from the opening part. The upper part of the string body (61) is embedded in the soil in the plant cultivation container (37).
When the plant cultivation container (37) is placed on the pot tray (36), the lower end of the string (61) is the liquid in the storage section (31) through the opening (363) of the pot tray (36). Soaked inside. The string body (61) sucks the liquid upward by capillary action and supplies the liquid into the plant cultivation container (37).
When the plant cultivation container (37) is placed, the sliding door (364) is moved to form an opening that connects the central opening (363) from the outer edge of the pot tray (36). Since the string body (61) can be disposed in the central opening (363), the handling becomes very easy.
In addition, since the upper surface of the pot tray (36) is located higher than the liquid level of the container (31), excessive water is not supplied to the plant cultivation container (37), and the plant is grown in the plant cultivation container (37). The roots of the do not rot.

As shown in FIG. 9, a net-like support member (371) may be attached to the bottom surface of the plant cultivation container (37). Then, the string body (61) may be inserted into the lattice of the support member (371), and the protrusion (611) may be protruded from the outer peripheral surface of the string body (61) above the support member (371). If it does in this way, a projection part (611) will be hooked on the lattice of a supporting member (371), and it will prevent that a string object (61) falls off from a plant cultivation container (37) bottom.
Furthermore, when the upper end portion of the string body (61) is hardened with a water-soluble resin or a water-soluble adhesive, the upper end of the string body (61) can be reliably inserted into the inside from the bottom surface of the plant cultivation container (37).

  FIG. 10 shows a third embodiment. FIG. 10A is a side sectional view of the liquid supply mechanism, and FIG. 10B is a view seen from above. The third embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the liquid supply mechanism (1) as an automatic irrigation apparatus using the plant cultivation container (37) shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, but the usage is moisture for pets. Used for supply. The difference between the configuration of the third embodiment and the second embodiment is that the third embodiment does not require a pot tray (36) and a plant cultivation container (37), and the liquid level control is an accommodation section ( 31) It is a point that is actively controlled using a floating body regardless of the atmospheric pressure related to the liquid level in the tank and the pressure balance in the reservoir (2). Other configurations are the same as the configuration of the liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG.

The liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. 10 mainly includes a reservoir (2) and a liquid receiver (3). In the example shown in FIG. 10, the reservoir (2) is arranged on the right side. Similarly to the second embodiment, the reservoir (2) is connected to the liquid receiver (3) with the opening facing downward, and supplies the liquid into the liquid receiver (3).
The liquid receiver (3) has a large opening (34) on its upper surface. Adjacent to the opening (34), an upper plate (35) covering the upper surface of the liquid receiver (3) is provided. A cylindrical supply port (32) is erected upward from the upper plate (35). The upper plate (35) and the supply port (32) support the reservoir (2).
Moreover, the area | region of an opening part (34) is comprised from the edge part (312) standingly arranged from the bottom face (311) and the bottom face (311) outer edge.

A part of the wall surface constituting the supply port (32) extends to the inner bottom surface of the accommodating portion (31) and is connected to the inner bottom surface. The wall surface functions as a support wall (53) that supports the connection mechanism (5).
The support wall (53) is provided with a rotating shaft (531), and a rod-shaped arm portion (54) is connected to the rotating shaft (531). The arm part (54) can be rotated up and down around the rotation axis (531).
A floating body (55) is attached to the end of the arm portion (54) in the region of the opening (34). The floating body (55) has a lower specific gravity than the liquid used. At the other end of the arm portion (54), a rod-like projection portion (52) standing up is disposed.
The upper end of the protrusion (52) is inserted into the pipe (42) of the adapter (4) attached to the reservoir (2), and the valve body (51) arranged in the pipe (42) In accordance with the operation of the part (54), the pipe (42) is moved up and down.

In the liquid supply mechanism (1) having the above configuration, the valve body (51) is the liquid outlet of the reservoir (2) until the reservoir (2) is inserted into the supply port (32) of the receiver (3). To prevent leakage of liquid. When the reservoir (2) is inserted into the supply port (32) and the protrusion (52) pushes up the valve body (51), the liquid from the reservoir (2) passes through the conduit (42) of the adapter portion (4). And then flows down into the liquid receiver (3). The position of the floating body (55) rises while the upper end position of the protrusion (52) falls as the liquid level in the accommodating part (31) of the liquid receiver (3) rises. And the valve body (51) reaches the adapter part (4) lower end, and stops the liquid supply from the reservoir (2).
The pet can ingest the liquid in the container (31) through the opening (34) provided on the upper surface of the container (31). When the liquid level in the container (31) is lowered due to liquid intake, the tip of the protrusion (52) rises again, pushes up the valve body (51), and causes the liquid in the reservoir (2) to flow down. In this way, the liquid level in the storage part (31) is kept in a certain range.
In addition, it is preferable to distribute | arrange the lower end of an adapter part (4) in the position higher than the upper limit of the control liquid level which fluctuates. If it does in this way, since an adapter part (4) will leave | separate from a liquid level, it will become possible to prevent the liquid in a accommodating part (31) flowing backward into a reservoir | reserver (2).
In addition, in the form used as a water supply device for pets, the floating body (55) is not an essential configuration, and a form in which the protrusion (52) protrudes upward from the bottom surface of the housing part (31) may be adopted. Good.

FIG. 11 shows a modification of the liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. FIG. 11A is a side sectional view of the liquid supply mechanism (1), and FIG. 11B is a view of the liquid supply mechanism (1) as viewed from above.
In addition to the configuration of the liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. 10, the liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. 11 has a wave barrier (56) surrounding the floating body (55) in the region of the opening (34). ).
The wave preventing wall (56) is a U-shaped wall, and both ends thereof extend from the support wall (53). Further, the upper edge of the wave barrier (56) is higher than the liquid level to be controlled. In addition, a flow hole is appropriately provided in the lower part of the wave barrier (56) so that the liquid from the reservoir (2) can flow.
A floating body (55) is disposed in a region surrounded by the wave preventing wall (56) and the support wall (53).
Since the wave barrier (56) surrounds the floating body (55) in this way, the floating body (55) is not affected by the waves generated when the pet ingests the liquid, and the liquid from the reservoir (2) is not affected. Supply will be carried out smoothly.

  As another modification, the floating body (55) may be movable along the arm portion (54) and fixed at a desired position on the arm portion (54). In this way, it is possible to adjust the liquid level control characteristics to be desired. For example, if the floating body (55) is attached to the tip of the arm part (54) arranged far from the reservoir (2), the vertical movement of the valve body (51) becomes gradual, and the vicinity of the reservoir (2) If the floating body (55) is fixed in the middle of the arm portion (54), the valve body (51) can be operated quickly.

In the above example, the adapter portion (4) and the spherical valve body (51) formed in a tapered tube shape have been described, but the adapter portion (4) and the valve body (51) of other shapes are also used. It can be used.
FIG. 12 shows another form of the connection mechanism (5). FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b) show examples of modifications of the connection mechanism (5), respectively. In the upper figure, the valve body (51) is arranged at the upper position, and liquid outflow from the reservoir (2) is prevented. The stopped state is shown, and the lower figure shows a state in which the valve body (51) is arranged at the lower position and liquid can be discharged from the reservoir (2).

As shown to Fig.12 (a), the adapter part (4) provided with the straight pipe line (42) with a fixed pipe line area can also be used. A valve body (51) slidable in the axial direction of the pipe line (42) of the adapter part (4) is disposed in the pipe line (42).
The valve body (51) is formed in a substantially I-shaped axial cross section, and has a disk-shaped head portion (511) formed larger than the pipe line (42) at the upper and lower ends thereof. The upper head (511a) is located above the conduit (42), and the lower head (511b) is located below the conduit (42). The lower surface of the lower head portion (511b) is connected to the arm portion (54), and the valve body (51) slides up and down along the axial direction of the pipe line (42) by the operation of the arm portion (54). .
The valve body body part (512) between the upper and lower head parts (511) is formed longer than the length of the pipe line (42). When the lower head (511b) comes into contact with the lower end of the pipe (42), the valve body (51) is in the upper position (see FIG. 12 (a)), and the upper head (511a) is in the pipe. (42) When contacting the lower end, the valve body (51) is in the lower position (see FIG. 12B).

The inside of the valve body body part (512) is formed hollow. An upper opening (513) is formed on the upper peripheral surface of the valve body body (512), and a lower opening (514) is formed on the lower peripheral surface of the valve body body (512), and the upper opening (513) and The lower opening (514) communicates with a hollow portion (516) inside the valve body body.
When the valve body (51) is in the upper position, the upper opening (513) is located above the upper end of the pipe (42), and liquid is supplied into the valve body (51) through the upper opening (513). Is done. On the other hand, the lower opening (514) contacts the inner wall surface of the pipe (42), and the liquid supplied to the inside of the valve body (51) does not flow out of the valve body (51).
When the valve body (51) is in the lower position, the upper opening (513) comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the pipe line (42), and the liquid inflow into the valve body (51) is stopped. On the other hand, the lower opening (514) appears below the pipe (42), and allows the liquid flowing into the valve body (51) to be discharged. The discharged liquid is supplied into the storage part (31).

12B shows a valve body having an I-shaped cross section instead of the upper opening (513), the lower opening (514) and the hollow portion (516) of the valve body (51) of FIG. 12 (a). (51) It is the form which formed the groove part (515) in the valve body trunk | drum (512) peripheral surface. The groove (515) extends along the axial direction of the valve body (512), and when the valve body is in the upper position, the upper end of the groove (515) appears above the pipe (42) and the lower end of the groove (515). Is in contact with the inner wall surface of the pipe (42). The liquid in the reservoir (2) then flows into the groove (515).
When the valve body (51) is in the lower position, the upper end of the groove (515) contacts the inner wall surface of the pipe (42). On the other hand, the lower end of the groove (515) appears below the pipe (42). At this time, the liquid in the groove (515) is discharged.
By using the valve body as shown in FIG. 12, it becomes possible to supply a constant and small amount of liquid to the storage portion (31), and finer liquid level adjustment is possible.
In the groove portion (515), the head portion (511b) disposed at the lower end of the valve body body portion (512) may be removed, and the valve body body portion (512) may be formed in a substantially T-shaped cross section. And by extending the groove (515) to the lower end of the valve body (512), the liquid continues to flow out from the lower end of the groove (515) when the upper end of the groove (515) appears inside the reservoir (2). It becomes.

In the first to third embodiments described above, the configuration in which the pipe line (42) of the adapter part (4) protrudes downward from the reservoir (2) has been illustrated and described. However, the pipe line (42) May be embedded in the reservoir (2).
FIG. 13: is a figure which shows the form which embed | buried the pipe line (42) of the adapter part (4) inside the reservoir | reserver (2). 13 (a) and 13 (b) show different forms.

While the upper end of the straight pipe portion (421) is closed, a water guide hole (423) is formed on the peripheral surface. The liquid in the reservoir (2) flows into the conduit (42) from the water guide hole (423).
The valve body (51) is disposed in the pipe line (42), and in a state where the valve body (51) is not pushed by the protruding portion (52) of the connection mechanism (5), the valve body (51) is located at the lower end inside the tapered pipe portion (422). It is supported and prevents liquid outflow in the reservoir (2).
The size of the water guide hole (423) is smaller than the size of the valve body (51) and prevents the valve body (51) from going out of the pipe (42).
The cylindrical portion (412) is fitted on the supply port (32) of the liquid receiver (3), and the reservoir (2) is fixed on the liquid receiver (3).
If the adapter part (4) formed in this way is used, since the pipe line (42) is embedded in the reservoir (2), the arrangement height of the reservoir (2) on the liquid receiver (3) is increased. It is possible to reduce the thickness. Accordingly, the height of the center of gravity of the liquid supply mechanism (1) can be lowered, and the stability of the liquid supply mechanism (1) can be improved.

The adapter part (4) shown in FIG.13 (b) is not provided with an attaching part (41), but is provided with the pipe line (42) which consists of a straight pipe part (421) and a taper pipe part (422). A thread portion is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the mouth of the reservoir (2). Further, the outer peripheral surface of the reservoir (2) port is supported by the inner peripheral surface of the supply port (32) of the liquid receiver (3).

The 2nd adapter part (400) equips the peripheral surface with the 2nd water guide hole (404), and the height position of the 2nd water guide hole (404) is in agreement with the 1st water guide hole (452).
The valve body (51) is disposed inside the second adapter (400), and the valve body (51) is a tapered tube of the second adapter (400) in a state where the valve body (51) is not pushed by the protrusion (52) of the connection mechanism (5). It is located at the lower end of the path (402) and closes the tapered pipe line (402).

In the case of using the adapter part (4) shown in FIG. 15, the mouth part of the reservoir (2) is directed downward with the positions of the first water conduit (452) and the second water conduit (404) being shifted. At this time, the first water conduit (452) and the second water conduit (404) do not communicate with each other, and the liquid inside the reservoir (2) does not leak.
In this state, the reservoir (2) port is inserted into the supply port (32). Then, the reservoir (2) is rotated about its axis, and the positions of the first water guide hole (452) and the second water guide hole (404) are aligned. In this way, the first water guide hole (452) and the second water guide hole (404) communicate with each other, so that the liquid in the reservoir (2) can flow out into the liquid receiver (3).
Therefore, by using the adapter part (4) as shown in FIG. 15, it is possible to reliably prevent liquid leakage when the reservoir (2) mouth part is directed downward.

The liquid leakage prevention function exhibited by the adapter section (4) shown in FIG. 15 can be obtained with a simpler structure.

The coil spring (425) urges the valve body (51) downward, and presses the valve body (51) against the outlet portion of the tapered tube portion (422).
Therefore, in a state where the valve body (51) is not pushed up by the protrusion (52) of the connection mechanism (5), the valve body (51) reliably closes the conduit in the adapter section (4). Therefore, when the reservoir (2) is installed, the liquid in the reservoir (2) does not leak even if the mouth of the reservoir (2) is directed downward.
In addition, when using the adapter part (4) shown in FIG. 16, it is preferable that a valve body (51) is formed with materials, such as a rubber | gum which can be deform | transformed a little. By forming the valve body (51) with such a material, high sealing performance can be exhibited.

In 1st thru | or 3rd embodiment, the large opening part (34) was provided in the string body (61) and the accommodating part (31), and the example which performs a liquid supply to the target object outside an accommodating part (31) was shown. However, the liquid can be supplied by other methods.
FIG. 17 shows a usage form as a simple water supply. The liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. 17 mainly includes a reservoir (2) that stores liquid and a liquid receiver (3) that receives and temporarily stores liquid supplied from the reservoir (2). Become. The connection form between the reservoir (2) and the liquid receiver (3) is the same as that described with reference to FIG. The liquid stored in the reservoir (2) is water.

  From the container (31) side of the liquid receiver (3), a discharge conduit extends. The conduit includes a regulator valve (314). The regulator valve (314) further includes an elbow tubular faucet (316) on the downstream side thereof, and the faucet (316) is connected to the regulator valve (314) so as to be rotatable about its axis. By turning the handle of the regulator valve (314), the cross-sectional area of the pipe line inside the regulator valve (314) is changed, whereby the flow rate of the liquid discharged from the accommodating portion (31) can be adjusted.

  A flat plate (74) is attached to the side of the housing (31). The fixed plate (74) is arranged with its surface vertical. A fixing tool (75) such as a nail is inserted through the fixing plate (74). By using a fixing means composed of such a fixing plate (74) and a fixing tool (75), the liquid supply mechanism (1) can be installed on an arbitrary wall surface standing vertically. Therefore, the liquid supply mechanism (1) as shown in FIG. 17 can be used as an outdoor simple water supply such as a campsite. Or it can function as a simple water supply at the time of a disaster. In addition to the nail, the fixture (75) can be a magnet, a suction plate, or the like.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing another usage pattern of the liquid supply mechanism (1). The liquid supply mechanism (1) illustrated in FIG. 18 includes an outflow control mechanism different from the outflow control mechanism including the regulator valve (314) and the faucet (315) of the liquid supply mechanism (1) illustrated in FIG. Is the same as that shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 18, the liquid stored in the reservoir (2) is a washing liquid, and a washing liquid for hand washing, body washing or clothes washing is preferably used.

The liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. 18 includes a discharge pipe (316) that protrudes from the lower surface of the housing (31). A rod-shaped rod-shaped portion (317) is disposed in the discharge pipe (316) toward the housing portion (31). The rod-shaped portion (317) includes a disc-shaped closing portion (318) projecting in the radial direction at the middle portion thereof. The upper end of the rod-shaped part (317) is connected to a coil spring (319) extending from the inner wall of the upper surface of the accommodating part (31).
The coil spring (319) urges the rod-shaped portion (317) downward, and the closing portion (318) abuts on the inner bottom surface of the accommodating portion (31), and closes the opening at the base end portion of the discharge pipe (316).
The liquid supply mechanism (1) including such an outflow control mechanism presses the lower end of the rod-shaped portion (317) from below to upward, so that the liquid in the storage portion (31) is discharged from the discharge pipe (316). Discharged. When the pressure from below the rod-shaped portion (317) is released, the rod-shaped portion (317) is pushed downward by the coil spring (319), and the closing member (318) closes the proximal end portion of the discharge pipe (316), The outflow stops.
One end of the rod-shaped arm portion is attached to the upper end of the rod-shaped portion (317), the other end of the arm portion is projected to the outside of the accommodating portion (31), and the arm portion is attached to the wall of the accommodating portion (31). A mode in which the rod-like portion (317) is vertically moved by an up-and-down operation of the arm portion may be adopted. When formed in this way, the discharge pipe (316) can be closed by moving the arm part upward and pressing the closing part (318) against the base end of the discharge pipe (316). Further, the arm part can be moved downward to separate the closing part (318) from the base end part of the discharge pipe (316), and the liquid in the storage part (31) can be discharged from the discharge pipe (316).

FIG. 19 shows a modified form of the outflow control mechanism shown in FIG. The outflow control mechanism shown in FIG. 19 includes a tapered tubular discharge pipe (316) that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the housing (31) and narrows downward. A rotation shaft (301) is provided on the wall of the discharge pipe (316), and the rotation shaft (301) rotatably supports the rod-shaped arm portion (302). A valve body (303) is disposed inside the discharge pipe (316).
The end of the arm part (302) in the discharge pipe (316) is connected to the valve body (303), and the other end of the arm part (302) is arranged outside the discharge pipe (316). A coil spring (306) extends from the upper surface of the valve body (303), and the upper end of the coil spring (306) is connected to a support wall (307) that extends horizontally into the accommodating portion (31). The coil spring (306) always urges the valve body (303) downward.
Although the shape of the valve body (303) is not particularly limited, the discharge pipe (316) is closed when it is urged downward by the coil spring (306) and reaches the lower limit position. When it is above the lower limit position, the liquid can flow through the discharge conduit (316).
When the end of the arm (302) located outside the discharge pipe (316) is moved downward, the valve element (303) is pushed upward. And the liquid inside an accommodating part (31) is discharged | emitted from a discharge pipe line (316). When the force on the arm portion (302) is released, the valve spring (303) is moved downward by the coil spring (306), the discharge conduit (316) is closed, and the discharge operation is stopped.

FIG. 20 shows another outflow control mechanism. The outflow control mechanism shown in FIG. 20 includes a discharge pipe (316) protruding from the lower surface of the housing (31) and a rotary pipe (305) inserted from the side of the housing (31). One end of the rotary pipe (305) disposed inside the accommodating part (31) is opened, and the liquid in the accommodating part (31) enters the rotary pipe (305). The other end of the rotary pipe (305) is arranged outside the housing part (31) and is closed. The rotary pipe (305) is rotatably supported by the side wall of the accommodating part (31).
A rotary opening (304) is formed on the circumferential surface of the rotary pipe (305). The rotary opening (304) has the same position as the discharge pipe (316) at the axial position of the rotary pipe (305).
When the rotating conduit (305) is rotated about its axis and the rotating opening (304) is directed downward, the rotating opening (304) is aligned with the opening at the proximal end of the discharge conduit (316); The liquid inside the rotary pipe (305) is discharged out of the storage section (31) through the discharge pipe (316).

FIG. 21 shows another outflow control mechanism. The outflow control mechanism of the liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. 21 includes a discharge pipe (316) extending downward from the lower surface of the housing (31) and an internal pipe formed inside the housing (31) ( 308). The internal pipe line (308) extends laterally from the side wall of the accommodating part (31). The internal conduit (316) communicates with the discharge conduit (316). The internal conduit (308) includes an opening (309) having the same position in the axial direction as the proximal end opening of the discharge conduit (316) and the internal conduit (308). Further, a rod-shaped control rod (390) is inserted into the internal pipe line (308). A plug portion (391) is disposed at the end of the control rod (390) disposed in the internal pipe (308), and the entire outer peripheral surface of the plug (391) is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the internal pipe (308). ,In close contact. A button portion (392) is disposed at the other end of the control rod (390). The button part (392) is formed larger in diameter than the insertion part of the control rod (390) into the accommodating part (31).
The control rod (390) formed in this way is pushed into the internal conduit (308) by pushing the button portion (392). Since the button portion (392) is formed with a large diameter, the button portion (392) abuts against the side wall of the accommodating portion (31) at the maximum push-in position to prevent further pushing of the control rod (390). While the control rod (390) is pushed in, the plug (391) slides along the axial direction of the internal pipe (308).
A coil spring (394) is disposed between the rear side end portion (393) of the internal conduit (308) and the plug portion (391). The coil spring (394) biases the control rod (390) outward of the housing part (31).
When the force for pushing the control rod (390) into the housing portion (31) is released, the coil spring (394) pushes the control rod (390) out of the housing portion (31). In the position where the control rod (390) is pushed out to the maximum extent, the plug portion (391) abuts against the inner side surface of the accommodating portion (31) to prevent the control rod (390) from being pushed out further.
At the maximum pushing position of the control rod (390), the opening (309) and the opening at the base end of the discharge pipe (316) are closed by the plug (391). In this state, the liquid in the container (31) is not discharged.
When the control rod (390) is pushed in, the plug portion (391) moves, and the discharge pipe (316) communicates with the inside of the accommodating portion (31) through the opening (309). And the liquid inside an accommodating part (31) is discharged | emitted from a discharge pipe line (316).

FIG. 22 shows a modification of the outflow control mechanism shown in FIG.
Similarly to the outflow control mechanism shown in FIG. 21, the outflow control mechanism shown in FIG. 22 includes an internal conduit (308) in the accommodating portion (31), and the internal conduit (308) is downward from the lower surface of the accommodating portion (31). It communicates with a discharge conduit (316) extending toward the end.
The internal conduit (308) opens at the back end (393), and the opening includes a valve body. Further, a wall portion for supporting the coil spring (394) is provided at the rear end portion (393).
The plug portion (391) disposed in the internal pipe line (308) includes a flow path (380) extending along the valve body axis direction. The liquid in the storage part (31) that has flowed into the internal pipe line (308) from the back end (393) passes through the flow path (380) and reaches the discharge pipe line (316).
A valve body (381) that closes the flow path (380) is disposed at the downstream end of the flow path (380).
When the plug portion (391) is in the maximum pushing position, the valve body (381) is sandwiched between the side wall of the accommodating portion (31) and the surface on the downstream side of the plug portion (391), and reliably closes the flow path (380). Thereby, the liquid cannot pass through the flow path (380), and the liquid does not flow out from the discharge pipe (316).
When the plug (391) is pushed in, the valve body (381) is opened, and the liquid flows out of the discharge pipe (316) through the flow path (380).

FIG. 23 shows another outflow control mechanism.
The outflow control mechanism shown in FIG. 23 includes an opening (382) provided on the lower surface of the housing (31), and a sphere (383) rotatably attached to the opening (382). The sphere (383) has a sphere shape and rotates around its center point.
When the surface of the sphere part (383) that was inside the accommodation part (31) appears outside the accommodation part (31) as the sphere part (383) rotates, the surface of the sphere part (383) has an accommodation part. (31) is attached. The object to be coated with liquid is brought into contact with the sphere (383), and the sphere (383) is rotated to apply the liquid to the object.
For the outflow control mechanism shown in FIG. 23, it is preferable to use a liquid having a relatively large viscosity, such as a liquid paste.

FIG. 24 shows a usage pattern of the liquid supply mechanism (1) using the outflow control mechanism as described above. The liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. 24 is used as a juice server that supplies carbonated beverages.
The liquid supply mechanism (1) includes a reservoir (2). Carbonated beverages are stored inside the reservoir (2). The reservoir (2) is arranged with the mouth facing downward. The adapter (4) described with reference to FIG. 15 is attached to the mouth of the reservoir (2) to constitute the reservoir (2) opening. The opening of the reservoir (2) is inserted into the supply port (32) of the liquid receiver (3), and the reservoir (2) is fixed on the liquid receiver (3).
In the receiving part (31) of the liquid receiver (3), the outflow control mechanism shown in FIG. 20 is disposed, and the rotating part (305) is rotated around its axis, whereby the receiving part ( 31) The outflow of the liquid in the inside is controlled. A cup is disposed below the discharge pipe (316) projecting downward from the lower surface of the housing part (31), and receives carbonated beverages flowing down from the discharge pipe (316).

  A flat water drop tray (90) is disposed above the accommodating part (31) and below the reservoir (2) body part. The water drop tray (90) is formed wider than the cross section of the reservoir (2) body part, receives water drops attached to the wall surface of the reservoir (2) body part, and is contaminated by water drops around the liquid supply mechanism (1). To prevent it. Further, the water drop tray (90) is provided with an opening (91) in a part thereof, and it is possible to drop water drops into the water reservoir (92) formed below the opening (91). .

When carbonated beverages are arranged in the reservoir (2), the pressure inside the reservoir (2) may be increased by carbon dioxide gas. Since excessive liquid may be supplied into the accommodating portion (31) by this pressure, the liquid supply mechanism (1) shown in FIG. 24 includes the following air hole structure.
The air hole (33) formed in the upper surface of the housing portion (31) is a tubular portion that stands upward from the upper surface of the housing portion (31). A small hole (331) is formed in the upper peripheral surface of the tubular air hole (33).
A membrane valve (332) is arranged in the middle of the air hole (33) below the small hole (331). The membrane valve (332) has one end fixed, and the other end has a movable range at a position where the membrane valve (332) is inclined downward from a horizontal position. In a state where the membrane valve (332) is horizontal, the membrane valve (332) closes the air hole (33).
By providing the membrane valve (332) in this way, even if liquid is excessively supplied into the accommodating portion (31), the membrane valve (332) is blocked, so that liquid is ejected from the air hole. There is nothing to do.
In addition, when using as a juice server as mentioned above, you may comprise an attachment part so that attachment to the drink bottle installation tool in a vehicle from a liquid receiver (3) side surface is possible.

FIG. 25 shows a usage pattern in which kerosene is transferred to another container.

A space for accommodating the valve body (51) is provided at the distal end of the flexible pipe (230), and the distal end side of the space is formed in a tapered shape.
A second container (1000) for receiving kerosene stored in the reservoir (2) is placed below the reservoir (2). A receiving tray (1002) having a protrusion (52) is disposed in the receiving port (1001) of the second container (1000).
When the flexible pipe (230) is installed on the receiving tray, the protrusion (52) pushes up the valve body (51) and opens the outlet of the flexible pipe (230). The kerosene in the reservoir (2) flows into the second container (1000), and the kerosene is transferred.
A cylindrical air hole (33) having substantially the same structure as the air hole described with reference to FIG. 24 is used in the vicinity of the base end portion of the flexible pipe (230). Thus, by providing the air hole (33) in the vicinity of the base end portion of the flexible pipe (230), the pulsation of kerosene flowing in the pipe at the time of kerosene supply can be reduced.
As shown in FIG. 25, the lower end of the air hole (33) protrudes into the flexible conduit (230). At the lower end portion of the flexible pipe (230), the reservoir (2) side is deep and the downstream side is cut obliquely so as to protrude short. By configuring the lower end shape of the air hole (33) in this way, backflow of kerosene when the flexible pipe (230) is removed from the second container (1000) at the end of kerosene supply can be prevented.
