Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a novel liquid decoration device.

More specifically, in a liquid decoration device comprising a sealed chamber composed of a transparent plate and a liquid decoration mechanism consisting of means for flowing down or spouting liquid stored in the sealed chamber, there is no need to fog the transparent plate. The present invention relates to a liquid decoration device that allows a liquid decoration mechanism to be operated without any trouble.

Note that in the present invention, liquid includes water, aqueous solutions with low viscosity, and various liquids, but water will mainly be used as a representative in the explanation.

Recently, a liquid decoration device that uses a fountain or a device in which falling water is collected by a mineral water plate to form a spherical or umbrella-shaped liquid film has been proposed.

However, because these devices generate droplets due to their mechanism, when they are operated in an open state without covering them in any way, they first introduce dust from the air and gradually become contaminated. In addition, organic matter and bacteria in the air are mixed in, causing the water to gradually rot and emit a foul odor.

Therefore, as a result of various studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventor of the present invention came up with the idea of housing these liquid decoration mechanisms in a sealed chamber, at least a part of which is made up of a transparent plate. It arrived.

According to this device, the above-mentioned problems of contamination caused by droplets and foul odors caused by rotting water could be solved.

However, when the liquid decoration mechanism is stored and operated in a sealed room, the room is kept at high humidity, and the temperature outside is generally low, so the inside of the transparent plate may become cloudy due to condensation. If the droplets adhere to the surface of the transparent plate, the visibility inside the room will deteriorate, and conversely, when the humidity outside the room is kept high and the temperature inside the room is low, as mentioned above, A new problem arises in that dew condensation forms on the outside of the transparent plate.

In order to prevent such dew condensation, for example, a heating element (such as a nichrome wire or a conductive coating) may be installed on the transparent plate.
Possible methods include providing a heater and applying electricity to heat it.

However, in this case, a special transparent plate is used, which is not only expensive but also has problems such as poor transparency.

Furthermore, this method cannot prevent the drop in transparency due to the adhesion of droplets generated indoors. Therefore, the transparent plate must be moved away from the droplets unnecessarily, or the liquid decoration mechanism itself must be used to suppress the droplet generation itself. Structural improvements are also required.

This invention was developed to solve the problems of conventional devices as described above, and by using a rectified water film to wash away dew condensation and water droplets on the surface of the transparent plate, the transparency is completely eliminated. The object is to provide a liquid decoration device that can be operated without damage.

In other words, the device of the present invention is capable of discharging liquid by means of flowing or spouting water into a closed chamber, at least a portion of which is made up of a transparent plate (including not only flat plates but also curved plates and cylindrical plates). A decoration mechanism is housed therein, and a liquid rectifying means is provided above the sealed chamber, and the liquid rectifying means directs rectified water from the upper part of the transparent plate along the surface of the transparent plate constituting the sealed chamber. The present invention relates to a liquid decoration device characterized in that it is made to flow down in the form of a thin film.

Next, the liquid decoration device of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of the sealed chamber of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment in which a water-flow type liquid decoration mechanism is housed in the sealed chamber, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the liquid rectifying means. It is a cross-sectional view showing the condition of the boxlock.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a sealed chamber, and the sealed chamber 1 is formed into a cylindrical shape by a transparent plate 2. As shown in FIG.

A liquid rectifying means 3 containing a rectifying member 4 is provided at the upper part of the transparent plate 2, and a slit 5 is provided at the lower end of the liquid rectifying means 3 along the surface of the transparent plate 20.

From the slit 5, the water 14 whose flow velocity is reduced and rectified by the rectifying member 4 of the liquid rectifying means 3 flows down along the surface of the transparent plate 20 in the form of a thin film 6.

7 is an intermediate liquid rectifying means 1; the intermediate liquid rectifying means 7;
is provided at an intermediate position of the transparent plate 2, and receives the thin film 6 which tends to become turbulent due to the surface resistance of the transparent plate 20 as it flows down, and rectifies the flow again.

However, this intermediate liquid rectifying means is not necessarily necessary unless turbulence is observed in the water film.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a balancing tank, which is attached to the upper wall of the sealed chamber 1 by a fastener 11, and the lower part of the balancing tank 8 is in close contact with the upper part of the transparent plate 2 for liquid rectification. Means 3 is provided.

9 is an overflow pipe, and the overflow pipe 9 is connected to the balancing tank 8.
The water overflowing upstream of the overflow pipe 9 flows down to the lower stock tank 12.

The water flowing down to the lower stock tank 12 is transferred to the liquid supply pump 1
3 supplies the liquid to the balancing tank 8 through the liquid supply pipe 10 connected to the liquid supply pump 13.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the sealed chamber 1 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, but it may also be a transparent cylindrical body with an inverted U-shaped cross-sectional shape. However, it is of course possible to cover the entire circumferential surface of the sealed chamber 1, or to cover the entire circumferential surface and the upper surface thereof.

Further, although the liquid rectifying means 3 is installed inside the sealed chamber 1, it may be installed on the surface of the transparent plate 20 outside the sealed chamber 1.

When the liquid rectifying means 3 is installed outside the sealed chamber 1, the liquid circulation mechanism composed of the liquid supply pump 13, the stock tank 12, the liquid supply pipe 10, the overflow pipe 9, and the balancing tank 8 is also installed outside the sealed chamber 1. It is preferable to install it outside.

In this case, if contamination of the water due to the incorporation of dust becomes a problem, instead of the circulation method, a method is used in which fresh water is constantly supplied from the outside, a rectified water film is formed by the liquid rectifier 3, and the water is used and then drained away. It is desirable to take

As will be described later, FIG. 3C shows a system in which water is supplied from the outside.

Furthermore, in the present invention, any member that can uniformly reduce the flow velocity can be used as the rectifying member 4; In particular, materials with a porous concept, glass, poly, urethane foam, net-like members (for example, those made of metal, resin, resin, natural fibers, synthetic resins, glass fibers, etc., organized, formed, bundled, bundled, etc.), sponges, etc. , sponges or particulate materials (eg sand), etc., may be used alone or in combination.

The thus obtained rectified water film has a mirror-like appearance as if it were stationary, but this mirror-opened appearance depends on the amount and packing density of the rectifying member 4 in the liquid rectifying means 3. can be easily created by adjusting the hydraulic pressure (water surface level) or the slit (outlet) clearance.

By adding an appropriate amount of a disinfectant, antiseptic, or algaecide agent to the water 14, it is possible to prevent the water from rotting, having a bad odor, or growing algae.
The replacement or repair period can be extended, making maintenance management easier.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment in which a water flow type liquid decoration mechanism is housed in a sealed chamber.

A water receiving tank 25 is arranged in the upper center of the sealed chamber 1, and a mineral water plate 21 is arranged below the water receiving tank 25.

The water tank 25 is fixed via a perforated plate 24 of the water tank 25' by a hanging rod 23 attached to an indicator plate 26 at the top of the sealed chamber 1.

The mineral water plate 21 is provided on an extending indicator rod 22 fixed to the center of the bottom of the stock tank 12 at a position facing the water outlet of the water receiving tank 25.

A liquid supply pump 13 is disposed in the stock tank 12, and a distribution pipe 15 is connected to the pump 13.
It is connected to the upper part of the indicator rod 22 in a shape that encloses it,
A nozzle 20 is provided in the distribution pipe 15.

Therefore, when the submersible pump is driven, the water 14 is transferred to the distribution pipe 15.
The water is pumped through the nozzle 20, and is sprayed as a fountain 16 and stored in a water tank 25 (the nozzle is provided at an angle that allows the fountain to reach the water tank).

Next, the water flowing out from the water outlet 27 of the water receiving tank 25 is expanded by the mineral water plate 21, forms a spherical water film 28, and flows down.

Furthermore, a light source 17 and a color filter 1 are located above the sealed chamber 1.
9 is provided, and the transmitted light of the light source 17 is beautifully colored through a color filter 19 which is rotated by the drive of a motor 18.

Note that in this example, the liquid decoration mechanism is water flow-J.
Although an example of application of k has been shown, the present invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the arrangement of the liquid rectifying means.

FIG. 3A shows an example in which water is attached to a transparent plate 2 having a curved surface, and FIGS. 3B and C show an example in which the water is attached to a flat transparent plate 2. Furthermore, in FIG. 3C, water is attached to a liquid rectifying means. 3 shows an example in which water is supplied from the outside by a downstream method (not a circulation method), and 29 is a water supply pipe.

Since the liquid rectifying device of the present invention has the above configuration, the water is decelerated and completely rectified to form a uniform and stable thin film, which flows down the surface of the transparent plate and removes water droplets or condensation on the surface of the transparent plate. I rinsed it out and maintained sufficient transparency in the room, so I'm now in the room.

The water film obtained by this configuration is almost completely rectified and flows down as a uniform thin film over the entire surface of the transparent plate 2, so that the rectified water film becomes stationary as described above. It has a mirror-like appearance.

However, if the liquid rectifying means described above is not used, the water will flow down in a turbulent state, producing countless waves on the membrane surface, and the light rays will be diffusely reflected on those parts, making it difficult to see through the inside of the sealed room. This results in a decrease in visibility, and not only is it impossible to achieve the excellent perspective effect seen in the present invention, but also
Problems arise in that the liquid decoration device in the room can only be seen with a distorted appearance, or even disappear, and cannot fully perform its intended decorative function.

As mentioned above, the present invention uses a rectified water film to wash away condensation and water droplets on the surface of the transparent plate.
To provide an excellent liquid decoration device that can be operated without impairing transparency.
