Description

  The present invention relates to a dilution container capable of easily and reliably diluting a stock solution of liquid fertilizer, liquid herbicide, liquid pesticide and the like to a predetermined concentration.

  For example, when diluting a liquid fertilizer, liquid herbicide, or liquid pesticide stock solution to a certain concentration with water to adjust the required dilution, it has been common practice to use a lid for a bottle containing these stock solutions or a separate light weight. It was necessary to store a predetermined amount of the stock solution in these using a cup, and pour it into a container and dilute with a predetermined amount of water. Even if it does not matter so much when an expert performs these dilution operations, it is an unfamiliar operation when performing it in a general household, so there is a risk that the stock solution may contaminate these during work. In addition, depending on the type of undiluted solution, there was a risk of rough hands. In addition, the dilution operation is very troublesome, for example, the concentration of dilution varies depending on the type of stock solution used. For this reason, the diluent has been appropriately adjusted according to the amount of the eye, but the dilution factor tends to be excessive or too small, and it is never preferable to spray such an inappropriate diluent on plants. It wasn't.

  In view of such problems, an irrigation pot described in Patent Document 1 has been proposed in which a stock solution such as liquid fertilizer is simply and reliably diluted to a predetermined concentration. As shown in FIG. 8, this irrigation pot a has a stock solution measuring cup b for storing a stock solution such as liquid fertilizer used after being diluted with water attached to the lower surface e of the upper lid d of the pot body c, It was provided so as to be able to appear and retract with respect to the formed water injection opening f. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the stock solution measuring cup b was attached to the tip of a shaft rod g that can slide along the lower surface e on the lower surface side of the upper lid d.

  The shaft rod g is inserted into a holding cylinder h provided on the lower surface e, and the stock solution is obtained by sliding the shaft g to the right direction shown in FIGS. The measuring cup b appears in the opening f of the upper lid d. From this state, the shaft g is slid in the left direction F2 with respect to the holding cylinder h, as shown in FIG. The stock solution measuring cup b is stored in the lower surface e of the upper lid d so as to be immersed in the opening f.

  Then, when the stock solution measuring cup b is positioned in the opening f, the shaft g rotates about its axis, whereby the stock solution put in the stock solution measuring cup b can be discharged into the pot body c. The undiluted solution discharged into the pot body c is diluted with a predetermined amount of water to obtain a diluted solution having a predetermined dilution ratio. The pot body c is set to a volume that provides a predetermined dilution ratio with respect to the volume of the stock solution measuring cup b, and the outer surface j of the peripheral wall portion of the pot body c is as shown in FIG. Marks k1 and k2 of 1000 cc and 2000 cc were engraved in a part having a capacity 1000 times that of the stock solution measuring cup b and a part having a capacity 2000 times, respectively.

  For example, when adjusting a 1000-fold diluted fertilizer using the irrigation pot a having such a configuration, the stock solution measuring cup b is stored in the lower surface e of the upper lid d, and the pot body c is 1000 times larger. After accommodating 1000 cc of water up to the mark k1, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, the stock solution measuring cup b is pulled out to the opening f, and the stock solution of liquid fertilizer is contained therein so as to be almost full. Thereafter, the stock solution measuring cup b is rotated, and the stock solution in the cup is poured into the water of the pot body c to uniformly mix the stock solution and water. In addition, when adjusting the diluted fertilizer of 2000 times, after storing 2000 cc of water up to the mark k2 of 2000 times in the pot body c, the stock solution measuring cup b is rotated to remove the stock solution in the cup. Pour into the water in c, and uniformly mix the stock solution and water. The stock solution in the stock solution measuring cup b may be poured into the pot body c and then water may be poured into the pot body c.

  However, the irrigation pot a having such a configuration has the following problems. That is, when using the irrigation pot a, the stock solution measuring cup b is pulled out to the opening f, and a stock solution such as liquid fertilizer is poured into the opening f, and the stock solution measuring cup b is rotated to rotate the cup. When pouring the undiluted solution into the pot body c, the shaft rod g had to be rotated around its axis, but the cup pulling operation and the shaft rod rotating operation were: It is understood to be done at the fingertip. For this reason, these operations are not only troublesome, but also the stock solution may adhere to the hands and clothes during the rotation operation, which may contaminate the hands and the like. Further, when it adheres to the hand, there is a risk of rough hand depending on the type of the stock solution.

  Since the irrigation pot a is a method of changing the dilution rate by changing the amount of water to be put into the pot body c, when diluting the stock solution 1000 times, the water is supplied up to the mark k1 of 1000 times as described above. On the other hand, when the stock solution was diluted 2000 times, water was poured up to the mark k2 of 2000 times as described above, and the stock solution in the stock solution measuring cup was poured into this. Thus, since the irrigation pot a had a dilution rate set according to the amount of water to be put into the pot body c, the amount of the resulting diluted solution varied greatly depending on the dilution rate. For this reason, when 2000 cc of 1000-fold diluted fertilizer is required, for example, after 1000 cc is sprayed on the plant, the 1000-fold diluted fertilizer must be adjusted again through the same work process. There was a problem that the work was cumbersome.

  The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is an object to provide a dilution container capable of easily and reliably diluting a stock solution of liquid fertilizer, liquid herbicide, liquid pesticide or the like to a predetermined concentration. To do.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following means.
That is, the dilution container according to the present invention can be rotated at the upper edge portion of the container body whose upper end is open between a tilted state falling in the vertical plane and a standing state rising in the vertical plane. A handle is attached, and the handle is provided with a plurality of measuring containers having different volumes. Each measuring container can be in an open state at the upper end when the handle is in the tilted state. In the standing state, the stock solution stored in each measuring container can be discharged into the container body from the opening.

  In the dilution container, the container body is formed to be transparent or translucent, and a peripheral wall is provided with a mark indicating the amount of water necessary to obtain a dilution liquid having a required dilution ratio, and the plurality of measuring containers Is preferably set so that a plurality of required dilution ratios can be obtained in comparison with the amount of water stored in the container body.

  As one of the more specific embodiments of the dilution container according to the present invention, the container body is formed to be transparent or translucent, and the capacity of water in the container body is 5 liters on the peripheral wall portion. The handle is provided with three kinds of measuring containers having different capacities: a small volume measuring container, a medium volume measuring container, and a large volume measuring container. The volume of the small measuring container is set to 2.5 cc, the volume of the medium measuring container is set to 5 cc, and the volume of the large measuring container is set to 10 cc.

  In each of the dilution containers, for each of the measurement containers, it is preferable that a number indicating a dilution ratio value by comparison with the amount of water stored in the container main body is attached to the measurement container or the vicinity thereof.

  In each of the dilution containers, the central portion in the length direction of the handle has an annular shape having an outer edge portion and an inner edge portion facing each other at a required interval, and a finger is inserted into the insertion hole of the annular portion. It is preferable that the handle can be gripped by inserting and grasping the outer edge portion by hand, and the measuring container is provided on the inner edge portion.

  In this case, when the handle is viewed in the down state, a base end of an arm that projects horizontally toward the open portion is connected to the inner edge portion, and a tip end of the arm is connected to the measuring container. In this state, it is preferable that the opening of the measuring container is opened upward.

(1) According to the present invention, when the handle is in a tilted state, a measuring container having a required volume is selected, and after storing a stock solution of liquid fertilizer, liquid herbicide, liquid pesticide, etc., the handle is in an upright state. By doing so, the stock solution stored in the measuring container can be naturally discharged into the container body. Then, by uniformly mixing the discharged stock solution and a predetermined amount of water stored in the container main body, a dilution liquid having a predetermined dilution ratio can be easily and reliably adjusted.
Therefore, even when adjusting dilutions with different dilution rates depending on the type of stock solution used, it is easy to set the dilution rate of stock solutions such as liquid fertilizers, liquid herbicides, and liquid pesticides. The dilution operation can be easily and accurately performed. In addition, as long as the handle is raised, the stock solution in the measuring container can be reliably released into the container body. There is no danger of sticking and causing rough hands.

(2) If a number indicating the dilution factor is attached to each measuring container and its vicinity in comparison with the amount of water stored in the container, the relationship between the measuring container and the dilution ratio Easy to understand selection.

(3) In particular, in the case where the annular portion having an outer edge portion and an inner edge portion facing each other at a required interval is provided at the central portion in the length direction of the handle, and the measuring container is provided on the inner edge portion of the annular portion. The handle can be gripped by inserting a finger into the insertion hole of the annular portion and grasping the outer edge portion by hand, and this grip can be easily performed without obstructing each measuring container.

  1 to 3, the dilution container 1 according to the present invention is in a collapsed state in a vertical plane on opposing portions 6 and 6 of the upper edge portion 5 of the container main body 4 in which the open portion 3 is provided at the upper end 2. Both end portions 9 and 9 of the handle 7 are attached which are rotatable between A (FIG. 2) and a standing state B (FIG. 1) standing upright in a vertical plane. In this embodiment, the tilted state A does not necessarily mean a horizontal state, and may be a state inclined slightly downward from the horizontal state or a state inclined slightly upward. Further, the standing state B does not necessarily mean a vertical state, and when the handle 7 is raised from the tilted state A, the standing state B shows an angle state slightly smaller than the vertical state when viewed in the standing direction, It may exhibit an angle state that is much larger than the vertical state.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the handle 7 is provided with a plurality of measuring containers 10 having different volumes, and each measuring container 10 is shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 5, the opening 11 can be in a state of being opened upward, and the handle 7 is set to the upright state B, whereby the stock solution 12 (FIG. 4) contained in each measuring container 10 as shown in FIG. 5. Can be discharged from the opening 11 into the container body 4 as indicated by an arrow.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the container body 4 has an elliptical shape that is long in the front-rear direction in a plan view, with a required portion (for example, a central portion) at the upper end opened, for example, in a rectangular shape and provided with an open portion 3. It is made of a transparent or translucent resin material. The peripheral wall portion 14 is provided with a mark 15 for displaying the remaining amount value of the diluent stored in the container body 4. The mark 15 is attached to, for example, the outer surface 16 of the peripheral wall portion 14. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, marks (scales) indicating 1 liter, 2 liter, 3 liter, 4 liter, and 5 liter in order from the bottom. ) 15 is provided by engraving or printing. In this embodiment, the maximum value of the remaining amount is set to 5 liters in consideration of the fact that 4 to 6 liters of liquid fertilizer is usually used in the case of a kitchen garden, and for dilution with a diluent. The reason is that the weight is such that it does not hinder the container 1 when it is carried by hand, so that a maximum of about 5 liters of diluent can be adjusted. Since the container main body 4 is transparent or translucent, the water surface of the stored diluted liquid can be seen through the peripheral wall portion 14 of the container main body 4, so that the remaining of the diluted liquid is left by the mark (scale) 15. I know the amount.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a water guide pipe 18 projecting obliquely upward is connected to the lower portion 17 on the front end side of the container body 4 when viewed in the front-rear direction. Is provided with a lotus fruit portion 21 provided with a watering plate 20 having a large number of watering holes 19.

  Further, on the opposing portions (front and rear portions) 6 and 6 of the upper end edge portion 5 of the container body 4, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, pivot projections 22 and 22 provided at both ends of the handle 7 are provided. Pivoting hole portions 23 and 23 for pushing are provided. However, as shown in FIG. 6, when the pivoting protrusions 22, 22 are pushed into the pivoting hole parts 23, 23, the pivoting projections 22, 22 come out into the pivoting hole parts 23, 23. It is fixed and can be rotated around its axis. As a result, the handle 7 can be rotated between the tilted state A that has fallen in the vertical plane and the standing state B that has risen in the vertical plane as described above. Contrary to the above, the pivoting protrusion 22 may be provided on the upper edge portion 5 while the pivoting hole 23 may be provided on both ends of the handle 7.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the handle 7 has an inverted U-shape in the standing state B, and an annular portion 26 is provided at a substantially horizontal central portion 25 in the length direction. Is provided. The annular portion 26 has an annular shape that includes an outer edge portion 27 and an inner edge portion 29 that are opposed to each other at a required interval and extends in the length direction of the central portion 25. As shown in FIG. When the four fingers 30, 30, 30, 30 are inserted into the insertion hole 31 of the annular portion 26 and the outer edge portion 27 is grasped by hand, the handle 7 is grasped by hand and the container body 4 is carried. Can do. And this holding | grip can be performed easily, without each measuring container 10,10,10 interfering.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, three kinds of dilution liquids can be adjusted for a predetermined amount of water (about 5 liters in the present embodiment) placed in the container body 4. In addition, three types of measuring containers 10, 10, 10 having different volumes are provided on the inner edge portion 29 of the annular portion 26 at both side portions and a central portion in the length direction. Now, in order from the one end side of the inner edge portion 29, a small-capacity measuring container 10a, a medium-capacity measuring container 10b, and a large-capacity measuring container 10c are provided. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the arm 35 protrudes horizontally toward the opening portion 3 at both side and center portions in the length direction of the inner edge portion 29 when viewed in the tilted state A. The base ends 36, 36, 36 of 35, 35 are connected, and the distal end 37 of each arm 35 is, for example, the upper end of the outer surface 39 of the weighing containers 10a, 10b, 10c as shown in FIG. It is connected. As seen from the state in which the arms 35, 35, and 35 protrude horizontally, the weighing containers 10 a, 10 b, and 10 c have the open portion 3 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 in this embodiment. The opening 11, 11, 11 is open upward, and the accommodating portion 40 has a tapered shape with a crimped diameter from the upper end 41 toward the lower end 42 as shown in FIG. 4. ing.

  For example, when adjusting the diluted liquid fertilizer at a required dilution rate of about 5 liters, the volume of each of the measuring containers 10a, 10b, 10c is set in comparison with the amount of 5 liters of water stored in the container body 4. For example, the volume of the small measuring container 10a is set to 2.5 cc, the volume of the medium measuring container 10b is set to 5 cc, and the volume of the large measuring container 10c is set to 10 cc. Now, as shown in FIG. 4, the handle 7 is brought into the down state A, and after the container 40 of the selected weighing container 10 is accommodated with a substantially full stock solution such as liquid manure, the handle 7 is moved as shown in FIG. 5. When the handle 7 is set in the standing state B, the measuring container 10 is positioned on the upper side of the open portion 3 and the opening 11 thereof is in a sideways state. As a result, the stock solution in the measuring container 10 can be naturally discharged into the container body 4 as indicated by an arrow in FIG. In this case, in order to perform discharge more smoothly, the handle 7 may be rotated to an angle that is too far from the standing state B. Since the stock solution in the measuring container 10 can be released into the container body 4 in this way, the stock solution can be easily and reliably released into the container body 4 without soiling hands and clothes. Thereafter, if about 5 liters of the stored water 38 accommodated in the container body 4 and the stock solution are uniformly mixed, about 5 liters of diluted solution can be obtained. Prior to this mixing, the timing of storing water in the container body 4 may be before or after discharging the stock solution into the container body 4. When water is stored in the container body 4 after discharging the stock solution into the container body 4, depending on the type of the stock solution, the water may be gradually increased while being diluted.

  When the small volume measuring container 10a is selected, since the volume is 2.5 cc, a diluted solution diluted about 2000 times can be adjusted. Further, when the medium-volume measuring container 10b is selected, since the volume is 5 cc, a diluted solution diluted about 1000 times can be adjusted. When the large-capacity measuring container 10c is selected, since the volume is 10 cc, a diluted solution diluted about 500 times can be adjusted. In this embodiment, since the water conduit 18 is provided in the container body 4, the dilution container 1 in which the diluent is stored in the container body 4 can be used as a watering can, as shown in FIG. By holding the handle 7 and carrying it to a required place and tilting the container body 4, the diluted liquid can be sprayed on the water spray plate 20 of the lotus seed portion 21 and sprayed on the plant.

  In addition, it dilutes by contrast with the quantity of the water accommodated in the said container main body 4 in the vicinity of this measuring container 10a, 10b, 10c, such as the outer surface 39 of each said measuring container 10a, 10b, 10c, and the surface of the said arm 35. If a number indicating a magnification value is described, selection of the measuring container 10 is easy to understand in relation to the dilution factor to be adjusted.
