Description

Liquid supply device {Fluid supply device}

The present invention relates to a liquid supply device, and more particularly, to a liquid supply device capable of preventing clogging of a conduit while smoothly supplying water or a sugar solution by a simple structure.

In general, the liquid supply device may be composed of a supply line such as a hose for supplying water, a chemical solution, or a sugar solution for bees, or a liquid supply pipe to accommodate a certain amount of the liquid supplied by the supply line. An example of applying the device in beekeeping is as follows.

In general, in the beekeeping process, water and sugar solution are continuously supplied to bees except for the milking season from April to June when flowers bloom, so that breeding and honey production can be increased. These liquid supply devices are usually composed of a main supply trough for filling food such as water or sugar solution, an individual feed trough inserted into each beehive, and a supply line to supply food by interconnecting the main supply trough and the individual feed trough.

In such a liquid supply device, a valve or a float capable of supplying or blocking a certain amount of food is provided in the individual feeding trough inserted into each beehive, and is usually provided in the individual feeding trough to automatically open and close the supply path according to the amount of food. It is equipped with a float, and conventionally, the supply of food is not smooth due to foreign substances being caught at the outlet of the supply line, etc., so the bees starve to death or the block is not smooth by the float. that will occur

In addition, the feeding tube is distributed to several beehives by connecting pipes or hoses from the feeding tube. Conventionally, a fitting pipe connecting branching distribution pipes to distribute food to each beehive is arbitrarily fitted according to the user's condition. As a result, it is very cumbersome to connect or disconnect the pipe.

In addition, when the conventional supply line is extended to supply solutions for agricultural crops or livestock, there is no big problem if the distance between the liquid supply tubes is far or when the supply line is used in a fixed position, but the distance between the liquid supply tubes is close. In the case of using it for moving or moving, there is a disadvantage in that it is difficult to reuse as well as the inconvenience of installation or separation of the supply line.

In addition, in the prior art, problems such as leakage or separation or replacement due to expansion or contraction of the hose depending on temperature, etc., are not only a hassle in maintenance, but also a distribution pipe suitable for the feeding device of bees or a joint coupled thereto There is a need for standardization of pipes or dedicated pipe fittings.
