Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a portable water exchanging bucket device for fresh flowers, etc., which is used for exchanging water in, for example, a vase or basin for fresh flowers.

[Prior art] When replacing the water in a vase or water basin containing fresh flowers, the heavy vase or water basin has traditionally been carried to a sink, etc., and conventionally, the water has been poured out using a small ladle or spoon, or the flowers have been taken out and then the water changed. Because it was a long process, it took a lot of time and care to make sure the fresh flowers didn't lose their shape when touched. In other words, with large fresh flowers, it is difficult to restore them to their original appearance, and the whole room gets soaked with water, so you end up having to replace the water a lot, and the leaves of the precious fresh flowers wither, and the flowers and buds wither before they can be seen in full bloom. It's the end. Once the water was replaced, the heavy vases or basins had to be carefully carried back to the exhibition site without disturbing the flower decorations.

As a result, we often experience water changes becoming less frequent or giving up due to the hassle, and as a result, fresh flowers lose their vigor and wither within a short period of time.

In particular, flowers displayed at flower fairs, exhibitions, lectures, and event venues that last for a long period of time must be managed so as not to lose their vitality during the period, which is a headache for everyone involved.

Therefore, the inventor of this application has created a new method for water replacement, and what can be filed as Utility Application No. 61-50908 is to take the old water that has been pumped out to a sink, throw it away, and then wash the dirt in the tub with water. This process is even more difficult when the sink is far away, and if you are not paying close attention during the water change process, you may find that the old water is replaced. The water from the ivy overflowed into the tub, and conversely, too much water was supplied from the tub, causing it to overflow from the basin, so we were still not satisfied with its perfection.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention aims to provide a portable water exchange bucket device for fresh flowers, etc., which is effective and suitable for solving the above-mentioned difficulties.

(2) Structure of the invention [Means for solving the problem] The portable water exchange bucket device for fresh flowers, etc. of the present invention has a leg wall extending downward from the side wall to discharge water to the lower part near the bottom of the bucket, which is formed at the raised bottom.

A plurality of dry batteries (not shown), which are the driving power source for each sensor 11 and 24, can be stored in parallel, and the waterproof case lid 9b is formed to be able to be fitted and removed from the case body 9a, so that the dry batteries can be replaced. At the same time, a slide switch SW ₁ of the water suction pump 14 and a slide switch SW ₁ of the water supply pump 19 are respectively attached to the upper surface of the top plate of the case lid 9b.

In the figure, numerals 33 and 34 are conductive wires connecting each of the pumps 14 and 19 and each of the sensors 11 and 24 and are covered with waterproof coating.

Reference numeral 35 in the figure is a sealing plug formed in a lower part of the central partition plate 1 close to the bottom 17 of the tub in a communicating hole 36 that communicates the drain tank 2 and the water tank 3 so that it can be easily rotated and removed manually.

[Function] Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when exchanging water in a vase, water basin, etc. (not shown) filled with fresh flowers, etc., a partition plate 1 is provided below the partition plate 1 provided inside the tub body 8. After making sure that the seal 35 is tightly closed, store the necessary amount of fresh water in the water tank 3 at a sink, etc., and then transport it to the desired location of the vase or water basin and fit the water intake tube opening 15. Remove the water absorbent bellows tube 13 from the member 28 and remove it from the semicircular recessed fitting part 27 one after another, immerse the water absorbent tube opening 15 under the water surface in the vase or basin, and turn on the slide switch SW ₁ provided on the top surface of the case lid 9b. The water suction pump 14 is driven to suck water from the vase or water basin to the suction port 1 of the water cylinder port 15.
Water is sucked in from 5a through 13 suction bellows pipes, passed through the L-shaped drain pipe 12, and collected in the drain tank 2 in the tub body 8 from the drain port 10, and the suction is completed by turning off the slide switch _SW1 and driving the water suction pump 14. It will stop and draining will be completed. In addition, when the amount of water to be drained is large, when the water surface rising in the drain tank 2 touches the drain stop sensor 11 installed in the drain port 10 located approximately 10 to 15 cm below the tub rim 4. When the drain stop sensor 11 is activated, a signal is transmitted through the conductor 33 passing through the water suction bellows pipe 13, and the water suction pump 14 is automatically stopped. Once the drainage work is completed, open the water intake tube port 1 as appropriate.
5 and the water absorption bellows tube 13 are stored in their original predetermined positions.

When supplying new water, similarly to the above-mentioned drainage work, connect the L-shaped water discharge pipe 25 and the water supply bellows pipe 22 to the semicircular recessed fitting portion 31 on the outer peripheral surface extending from the eight leg walls 29 of the tub body to the side wall 26 and the fitting member. 32, insert the L-shaped water discharge pipe 25 into the vase or basin, and then close the case lid 9b.
When the slide switch SW ₂ provided on the top surface is turned on, the water supply pump 19 is activated and fresh water in the water tank 3 flows through the bottom hole 18, the water supply pump 19, the water supply bellows pipe 22, the L-shaped water discharge pipe 25, and the water discharge port 23. The water is then supplied into a vase or basin. At this time, hang the L-shaped water discharge pipe 25 over the edge of the vase, etc., and place the water discharge port 2 at an appropriate desired position.
If the water discharge stop sensor 24 provided in the water supply bellows pipe 22 is positioned so that when the rising water surface touches the water discharge stop sensor 24, the water discharge stop sensor 24 will be activated and a signal will be sent to the conductor wire passing through the water supply bellows pipe 22. 34, and the drive of the water supply pump 19 is automatically stopped.

When the water supply is completed, the L-shaped water discharge pipe 25 and the water supply bellows pipe 22 are appropriately stored in their original predetermined positions.

In addition, when the amount of water to be drained or supplied is large, a sealing plug 35 fitted in a communication hole 36 provided at the lower part of the central partition plate 1 that partitions the drain tank 2 and the water supply tank 3 may be used. By removing them, the drain tank 2 and water tank 3 are integrated, so they can be used freely depending on the situation.

[Effects] In this way, the present invention uses one bucket when replacing water in vases, water basins, etc., and also uses an easy-to-operate water suction pump when draining, so there is no need to unnecessarily touch flowers, etc. Since the wastewater is stored in one tank of the tub, there is no need to go through the trouble of having to dispose of the collected wastewater in another location, other tub, bucket, etc. Since it uses an easy-to-operate water supply pump, there is no need to lift a heavy bucket of water to a high position.In addition, the water suction pump and water supply pump will stop due to the activation of the drainage stop sensor and water discharge stop sensor, which will prevent unnecessary water leakage. It does not overflow, and the two water tanks can be connected if necessary, so it can be used for multiple purposes.The water absorption bellows tube and the water supply bellows tube are neatly stored on the outside of the tub, making it extremely easy to use. It has excellent practicality and usefulness, such as being able to easily change water even for children, the elderly, and sick people who are weak and able to always enjoy fresh flowers.
