[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a water supply device and a water supply tool for plant cultivation in home gardening and the like, using containers for pots, planters, and boxes.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For the cultivation of plants growing in pots, planters, boxes, etc. in home gardening, replenishing water (watering) is one of the essential tasks for daily management. Therefore, it was the biggest trouble for plant lovers, especially for pot cultivation, that they could not replenish their water when they left home due to travel or the like. As a countermeasure, (a) soak the whole bowl in a flooded basin, or (b) pass a cloth through the bottom hole of the basin to the water in the basin, and suck the water in the basin by the capillary phenomenon of the cloth. The method of sucking it into the roots, or (c) burying it in the soil in the shade, (d) transferring it to the shade or giving a large amount of water using the shade, or (e) to familiar people For example, we asked for watering or temporarily kept it at an acquaintance's house.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, regarding (a) and (b) above, the maximum is 3 to 4 days, and if it is longer than that, the root root at the bottom of the pot will rot. (C) is not possible for apartments and condominium residents without gardens. Also, for (d), even if a large amount of water is given, there is a limit to the degree of water retention in the pot, and most of them run out of the pot and are just resting. For (e), it is difficult to ask casually if going out frequently. Due to such problems, I felt very inconvenient in terms of water supply and plant cultivation.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention eliminates such inconvenience, and the watering of pots during absence is transferred to the shade or shaded, and the pots that have been watered on the day, or the daily sitting room, corridor It is intended to provide water supply equipment and water supply equipment for plant cultivation, which can be continuously supplied with 1 to 5 liters of water for pots that are being viewed and installed in a room such as is there.

[0005] A branching material for a core material, in which a branching material is provided at the other end of a lead material made of a twisted fiber having an appropriate thickness, and the branching material is provided by branching into a plurality of stages so that each branching has a half thickness Corrosion-resistant nails are provided at the leading edge, and a covering material such as a pipe or sheet is used to form an appropriate amount of exposed area at one end of the lead material. The core material of the water supply tool drilled at an appropriate pitch is suspended in an appropriately sized water tank with an exposed part, and no small holes are arranged.The first small hole is located on the edge of the water tank, and A covering material is provided so that the small holes are on the outside, and corrosion-resistant nails are inserted in the soil in the container such as a pot so that the core material is locked and the water tank is filled with water.

[0006]

[Action]

 The water in the water tank passes through the main material of the core material and the branch material to supply water from the corrosion resistant nails to the container by the penetration of water from the exposed part, the capillary phenomenon and the principle of siphon. Therefore, the core material sends the water in the water tank to the container as it is, but the coating material prevents evaporation of the water guided by sunlight or ventilation. In addition, the small holes provided in the covering material facilitate the capillarity by escaping the air inside the covering material, and are also absorbed by the capillarity and accumulated in the space between the lead material and the covering material at the top of the core material. When water starts to flow down, it prevents a large amount of water from flowing through the entire space between the main material and the covering material, and always conducts water through the core material.

The reason why the small hole is not provided in the covering material in the water supply tank is to allow the main material to permeate gradually from the exposed portion and to make the amount of introduced water uniform over a long period of time. Alternatively, by providing the exposed part at the bottom of the water tank, the pumping due to the capillary phenomenon is promoted to a single layer, and the pump is completely pumped up to the bottom, resulting in efficient use. Furthermore, the water tank is filled only after the installation is complete, so the initial water transfer rate is slower than when the core material is in a wet state, so it takes time to supply water by permeation. There is a large difference, and in addition to the difference, water can be maintained for a long time by uniform infiltration. Therefore, after use, remove the core material from the coating material, wash it with water, dry in the sun and reuse.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, A shows the whole water supply tool, and 1 is a core material consisting of a main material 2 and a branch material 3, and a branch material 3 which is half the thickness of the main material 2 made of fiber twisted yarn of appropriate thickness. The branch material 4 is provided at the other end of the main material 2 in a branched manner, and the branch material 4 having a thickness half that of the branch material 3 is provided at the tip of the branch material 3 in a branched manner. Reference numeral 5 denotes a corrosion resistant nail, which is provided so as to be inserted into the tip of the branch member 4. Reference numeral 6 is a covering material made of a vinyl pipe or a sheet, which covers the main material 2 so as to provide an exposed portion 2a with one end exposed, and a first small hole 7a, a second small hole 7b on one side surface. The small holes 7 are provided at a proper pitch. Reference numeral 8 denotes a covering material made of a vinyl pipe or a sheet, which covers the branch material 3. Reference numeral 9 is a covering material made of a vinyl pipe or a sheet, and covers the branching material 4 so as to expose the corrosion-resistant nail 5. Reference numeral 10 denotes a water supply tank having an appropriate shape and having a lid 10a (appropriate shape) formed with an insertion hole 10b, which is provided at an arbitrary position at a high place. Reference numeral 11 is a container made of a planter or the like having an appropriate size, in which the soil 11a is put and the plant 12 is planted on the ground.

In use, the water supply tank 10 is provided at a high place, and the container 11 is provided in the ground with a drop of about 30 to 70 cm. Then, the exposed portion 2a of the main material 2 is inserted through the insertion hole 10b and the exposed portion 2a is provided at the bottom of the water supply tank 10 so that the first small hole 7a becomes the edge 10c of the water supply tank 10 and the small hole 7 of the second small hole 7b is outside. The water supply tool A is hung so that the lower end of the corrosion resistant nail 5 is inserted into the soil 11a around the plant 12 growing in the container 11 to lock the core material 1, and then the water supply tank 10 is filled with water. Fill up. Then, the water permeates from the exposed portion 2a with the lapse of time from the time when the water is started to be poured, and the water level of the water supply tank 10 lowers accordingly. Then, the main material 2 above the water surface in the water tank 10 gradually becomes wet with the pumped water due to the capillary phenomenon, and gradually flows from the main material 2 to the branch materials 3 and 4 according to the siphon principle, and the corrosion-resistant nail at the tip end. It penetrates into the soil 11a through 5. Then, while gradually permeating through the exposed portion 2a, it passes through the core material at a constant speed, and at the same time, the small holes 7 improve the ventilation in the covering material 6 to obtain a uniform water volume. . Further, since the water in the water supply tank 10 is completely pumped up by the exposed portion 2a and the exposed portion 2a is used in a dry state, the initial water guiding speed is slowed down to enable long-term water guiding.

It should be noted that, with respect to the water-conducting state when the core material 1 is in a dry or wet state, the water-conducting state with respect to the filled state of the core material 1 and the covering materials 6, 8, 9 and the length of the core material 1. Experiments were conducted on the conditions of water transfer and the conditions of water transfer with respect to the condition where the small hole 7 was installed underwater. Some of the results are shown below and the others are omitted. Experimental result. Conditions, vinyl chloride tube with an outer diameter of 10 mm and an inner diameter of 8 mm as the covering material 6, and 10/3 number of yarns as the core material 1 (filling degree 10 g / m, packing density 71% per cross-sectional area) length 90 cm, water tank The volume is set to 10, and the volume is 5 liters, and the water drop at the start of the experiment is 55 cm. Table 1 shows the results of measuring the amount of water transferred under these conditions.

[0011]

[Table 1]

[0012] From Table 1, the water transfer is almost stable for up to 7 days. After 7 days, the water transfer rate decreases sharply and then gradually decreases, but water transfer can be performed for 15 days or more.

[0013]
