Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an automatic water tank for a flowerpot which can be attached to a commercially available flowerpot to automatically supply water.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Since the flower pots are simply pot-shaped, there is no area for storing water, and the trees and flowers planted in them need to be watered daily. Therefore, when the house is away for a long time, it is impossible to water the flowerpot, so it is necessary to prepare a means to kill the trees and flowers, or not to die. In order to solve these drawbacks, conventionally, there has been proposed a water tank provided under the flower pot or a device for hooking the water tank on the flower pot with a hook to supply water to the water tray. However, none of the above means can stably supply water to the flowerpot for a long period of time. In other words, the former does not supply enough water to the soil, and the latter has a commercially available flower pot that is made of plastic and is easily made. It had the drawback that it could easily fall over and damage the plant trees.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As a result of extensive research on the conventional water tank, the present inventor placed a water tank on a water storage tray and narrowed the lower end of the water tank to sandwich the water tank between the flowerpot and the water tray. The present inventors have completed the present invention, finding that the stabilization of the flowerpot will enable long-term water supply.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to an automatic water supply tank comprising a water supply tank, a flange portion provided at a lower end portion of the water supply tank, and a water supply nozzle provided at a center portion of the flange portion, wherein the water supply tank is a semi-cylindrical shape having an arc shape in a longitudinal direction. According to the automatic water tank of the flowerpot, wherein the flange is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the water tank, and has a cutting area at the center thereof, and a water supply nozzle is opened in the cutting area. .

[0005]

[Action]

 When supplying water to the automatic water supply tank 3 of the present invention having the above structure, the water supply nozzle 6 is connected to a water pipe (not shown) and water is supplied from the longitudinal opening 10 of the water supply nozzle. Put in. By reversing the supplied automatic water tank 3, the packing rubber ball 11 closes the nozzle opening 7 of the water supply nozzle 6 so that water does not leak. By setting the automatic water supply tank 3 of the present invention between the flower pot 1 and the water supply tray 2, the packing rubber ball 11 blocking the nozzle opening 7 is pushed by the water supply tray 2 and a gap is formed at the nozzle opening. Formed and water flows through the reservoir. Water flow stops when the water level in the water storage tray and the water level in the water supply tank are balanced. When the amount of water in the water storage pan decreases in this way, water is automatically supplied from the water tank, and the amount of water in the water storage pan is always kept constant.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view in which an automatic water supply tank 3 is arranged between a flower pot 1 and a water storage tray 2, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the automatic water supply tank 3 seen from the bottom on the flange portion 5 side. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the water supply nozzle 6 taken along the lines A and A'in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the water supply nozzle 6 taken along the lines B and B'of FIG. The water tank 3 shown in FIG. 1 is a plastic water tank obtained by blow-molding plastics, and it may be transparent or decoratively colored depending on its purpose.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the automatic water supply tank 3 comprises a water tank tank 4, a flange portion 5 at the inner peripheral edge portion, and a water supply nozzle 6 provided at the center of the flange portion. The water tank tank 4 has an arc shape in the longitudinal direction, and the outer portion has a vertical shape so that it can be mounted on the rim 12 at the peripheral portion along the shape of the water storage tray 2, and the inner portion from the lower end to the upper portion of the water tank. The taper side wall 13 is gently inclined outward to about 1/3. The flange portion 5 is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the lower end of the water tank tank 4, and the tip end of the flange portion is narrowed in the lateral direction so that it is sandwiched between the flower pot 1 and the water storage tray 2. A cutting region 8 is formed at the center of the flange portion 5 in the longitudinal direction, and a water supply nozzle 6 is provided therein. The water supply nozzle 6 has a cylindrical shape, and the joint with the water tank tank 4 is provided with a notch taper 9 to narrow the opening in the lateral direction as shown in FIGS. The opening is widened, and an opening taper 10 is provided so that water is supplied through the opening to the inside of the water tank when the water is supplied to the water tank. A circular nozzle port 7 is provided at the center of the water supply nozzle 6. A rubber ball 11 for packing is inserted in the cylindrical portion of the water supply nozzle 6, and plays a role of packing at the time of water supply and drainage. When water is supplied to the water tank 4, the rubber ball for packing is cut by the taper 9, and water is supplied to the water tank 4 through the opening in the longitudinal direction. On the other hand, when water is supplied to the water storage tray 2, the packing rubber ball 11 is pushed up from the bottom of the water storage tray, and water is supplied to the water storage tray 2 from the peripheral edge of the nozzle port.

Although the single automatic water tank of the present invention can be used, it is preferable to install two or more automatic water tanks along the flowerpot in order to stabilize the flowerpot.

【The invention's effect】

 The automatic water tank of the present invention stabilizes the flowerpot by setting it around the flowerpot, and can supply water for a long time.
