Description

DISPOSITIF D'ARROSAGE MOBILE MOBILE WATERING DEVICE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'arrosage mobile. Elle s'applique en particulier à l'arrosage des végétaux par les professionnels et amateurs. Cet arrosage est traditionnellement effectué soit à l'aide d'un tuyau d'arrosage, soit à l'aide d'un arrosoir. L'avantage principal de l'arrosage au tuyau, avec ou sans équipement terminal de type lance ou pistolet, réside dans son alimentation continue qui en a fait le moyen le plus usité d'arrosage manuel des végétaux. L'arrosoir traditionnel n'a pas disparu pour autant, car il présente de nombreux avantages qui lui valent souvent la préférence des jardiniers : - pas de limite de distance entre le point d'accès au réseau d'eau et le point d'arrosage, pas de nécessité de déployer ni de ranger un tuyau pour un arrosage ponctuel - Meilleur contrôle visuel de la quantité d'eau versée, notamment du fait d'un débit instantané plus important - Arrosage incomparablement plus doux, limitant le risque d'abîmer les plantes fragiles L'arrosoir tel qu'on le connaît présente cependant l'inconvénient de devoir être rempli manuellement, ce qui implique d'une part des allers-retours vers le point d'eau ou au mieux l'usage d'un tuyau à proximité, et d'autre part de patienter lors de son remplissage en surveillant le niveau afin d'éviter un débordement. La présente invention entend apporter plusieurs perfectionnements à l'arrosoir, en particulier le remplissage continu et automatique en combinant les avantages de l'arrosoir et de l'arrosage au tuyau. A cet effet, la présente invention vise, selon un premier aspect, un dispositif d'arrosage mobile caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un réservoir, un raccordement à une alimentation et un système d'asservissement d'un niveau de remplissage assurant l'arrêt automatique du remplissage du réservoir. Grâce à ces dispositions, l'utilisateur obtient un gain de temps significatif, car le remplissage peut s'effectuer simultanément à l'arrosage, et une réserve peut se constituer durant les déplacements entre deux points d'arrosage, exploitant ainsi au mieux le débit parfois limité du tuyau. L'arrêt étant automatique, l'utilisateur n'a plus à surveiller le niveau d'eau et a naturellement tendance à occuper plus utilement le temps de remplissage, par exemple en coupant des fleurs fanées ou en arrachant des mauvaises herbes. L'agrément de pouvoir mieux profiter de son jardin pendant ces temps de remplissage se révèle à l'usage un avantage significatif de l'invention. Selon des caractéristiques particulières, le raccordement comporte un raccord rapide permettant de le désolidariser d'un tuyau d'arrosage lui-même muni d'une valve-stop. Grâce à ces dispositions il est possible d'utiliser le dispositif de manière autonome, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de couper l'alimentation en amont du tuyau. Selon des caractéristiques particulières, le système d'asservissement comporte un réglage du niveau d'arrêt du remplissage. Grâce à ces dispositions l'utilisateur peut ajuster la réserve permanente d'eau et donc le poids à transporter. Selon des caractéristiques particulières, le raccordement à l'alimentation est adapté à réaliser un couplage du raccordement par la simple action de reposer le dispositif sur un support, lui même adapté à recevoir un ou plusieurs dispositifs. Grâce à ces dispositions, il est possible de disposer en permanence d'un ou plusieurs arrosoirs toujours pleins, notamment dans les situations où cet équipement est mis à la disposition du public comme les cimetières ou les hammams, ainsi que pour certains usages où le point d'arrosage est peu éloigné du support (fleuristes, pépiniéristes, ouvriers de chantiers, ... ) et où un tuyau connecté peut se révéler peu pratique. Selon des caractéristiques particulières, le système d'asservissement comporte un flotteur effectuant un déplacement rectiligne. Grâce à ces dispositions, l'angle éventuellement adopté par le dispositif d'arrosage ne retarde pas le début du remplissage. Selon des caractéristiques particulières, le dispositif tel que succinctement exposé ci-dessus comporte un moyen d'éclairage adapté à éclairer les éléments arrosés.The present invention relates to a mobile sprinkler device. It applies in particular to the watering of plants by professionals and amateurs. This watering is traditionally carried out either using a garden hose or using a watering can. The main advantage of watering with a hose, with or without terminal equipment such as a lance or pistol, lies in its continuous supply which has made it the most widely used means of manual watering of plants. The traditional watering can has not disappeared, however, because it has many advantages which often earn it the preference of gardeners: - no limit of distance between the access point to the water network and the watering point , no need to deploy or store a hose for occasional watering - Better visual control of the amount of water poured, especially due to a higher instantaneous flow rate - Incomparably softer watering, limiting the risk of damaging fragile plants The watering can as we know it has the disadvantage of having to be filled manually, which implies on the one hand back and forth to the water point or at best the use of a hose to proximity, and on the other hand to wait during its filling while monitoring the level in order to avoid an overflow. The present invention intends to make several improvements to the watering can, in particular the continuous and automatic filling by combining the advantages of the watering can and hose watering. To this end, the present invention aims, according to a first aspect, a mobile sprinkler device characterized in that it comprises a reservoir, a connection to a supply and a system for controlling a filling level ensuring the automatic filling of the tank. Thanks to these provisions, the user obtains a significant time saving, because the filling can be carried out simultaneously with watering, and a reserve can be constituted during the movements between two watering points, thus making the best use of the flow rate. sometimes limited from the pipe. The shutdown being automatic, the user no longer has to monitor the water level and naturally tends to occupy the filling time more usefully, for example by cutting dead flowers or by pulling weeds. The pleasure of being able to make the most of your garden during these filling times proves to be a significant advantage of the invention. According to particular characteristics, the connection comprises a quick connection making it possible to separate it from a garden hose itself provided with a stop valve. Thanks to these provisions it is possible to use the device independently, without the need to cut the supply upstream of the pipe. According to particular characteristics, the control system includes an adjustment of the filling stop level. Thanks to these provisions, the user can adjust the permanent reserve of water and therefore the weight to be transported. According to particular characteristics, the connection to the power supply is suitable for coupling the connection by the simple action of resting the device on a support, itself suitable for receiving one or more devices. Thanks to these provisions, it is possible to permanently have one or more watering cans always full, especially in situations where this equipment is made available to the public such as cemeteries or hammams, as well as for certain uses where the point is not far from the support (florists, nurserymen, construction workers, ...) and where a connected hose can prove impractical. According to particular characteristics, the servo system comprises a float carrying out a rectilinear movement. Thanks to these provisions, the angle possibly adopted by the sprinkler device does not delay the start of filling. According to particular characteristics, the device as succinctly described above comprises a lighting means adapted to illuminate the watered elements.
Grâce à ces dispositions, le dispositif selon l'invention permet un arrosage confortable et contrôlé dans de faibles conditions d'éclairage. Selon des caractéristiques particulières, le dispositif tel que succinctement exposé ci-dessus comporte un capteur de mouvement ou d'inclinaison et une temporisation assurant l'extinction automatique du moyen d'éclairage après une période d'immobilité. Grâce à ces dispositions, l'extinction automatique après une période sans utilisation permet de faire face à l'oubli d'extinction manuelle et donc de prolonger l'autonomie. Selon des caractéristiques particulières, le dispositif tel que succinctement exposé ci-dessus comporte un logement ou un moyen de fixation adapté à porter au moins un outil à main. Grâce à ces dispositions, et du fait que le remplissage s'effectue sans surveillance, l'utilisateur peut alternativement déverser son arrosoir et effectuer d'autres tâches durant le remplissage à l'aide desdits outils. Cette pratique exploite au mieux le débit de l'alimentation et permet une productivité supérieure pour une quantité d'eau identique à celle déversée dans une durée donnée par un pistolet ou une lance. Selon des caractéristiques particulières, le dispositif tel que succinctement exposé ci-dessus comporte un appareil de restitution ou d'émission /réception des sons. Grâce à ces dispositions, l'utilisateur a la possibilité de mettre à profit le temps d'arrosage pour se distraire, communiquer ou s'informer. Selon un deuxième aspect, la présente invention vise un dispositif d'arrosage mobile caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un moyen d'éclairage adapté à éclairer les éléments arrosés. Les avantages, buts et caractéristiques particulières de ce deuxième aspect étant similiaires à ceux décrits pour le premier aspect, ils ne sont pas rappelés ici. D'autres avantages, buts et caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, dans un but explicatif et nullement limitatif, en regard des dessins annexés dans lesquels : Les figures 1 et 2 représentent schématiquement et en perspective deux modes de réalisation particuliers du dispositif selon l'invention. En référence à ces figures, le dispositif comporte un arrosoir (1 ) équipé d'un raccord (2,2b) pour le connecter à un tuyau d'alimentation (3) permettant d'assurer son remplissage et d'un robinet flotteur (5,5b) assurant l'arrêt du remplissage lorsqu'un certain niveau est atteint. La connexion entre l'arrosoir et le tuyau se fait de préférence à l'aide d'un raccord rapide maie (2, 2b) fixé sur la paroi extérieure ou sur l'anse de l'arrosoir, et d'un raccord rapide (4, 4b) équipé d'une valve stop coté tuyau. L'arrosoir peut ainsi être désolidarisé de l'alimentation d'un simple geste, par exemple pour aller plus loin que ce que permet le tuyau, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de couper l'alimentation au robinet. Un tel dispositif apporte à l'utilisateur un gain de temps significatif, car le remplissage démarre dès lors qu'il commence à verser, les temps de remplissage et de vidage sont ainsi au moins en partie juxtaposés, et une réserve se constitue durant les déplacements entre deux points d'arrosage, exploitant ainsi au mieux le débit parfois limité du tuyau. L'arrêt étant automatique, l'utilisateur n'a plus à surveiller le niveau d'eau et a naturellement tendance à occuper plus utilement le temps de remplissage, par exemple en coupant des fleurs fanées ou en arrachant des mauvaises herbes. L'agrément de pouvoir mieux profiter de son jardin pendant ces temps de remplissage se révèle à l'usage un avantage significatif de l'invention. Le robinet flotteur (5,5b) peut être d'un type quelconque, par exemple identique aux modèles employés pour les chasses d'eau sanitaires. On utilisera cependant de préférence un modèle à fort débit équipé d'un flotteur à déplacement rectiligne car il permet le déclenchement immédiat et rapide d'un nouveau remplissage, sitôt l'arrosoir incliné vers l'avant. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier illustré par la figure 2, le raccordement peut être conçu et disposé de manière à permettre l'accouplement de l'alimentation en posant simplement l'arrosoir sur un support (10) adapté à accueillir un ou plusieurs arrosoirs selon la présente invention, lui-même connecté au réseau d'alimentation. Il est ainsi possible de disposer en permanence d'un ou plusieurs arrosoirs toujours pleins, notamment dans les situations où cet équipement est mis à la disposition du public comme les cimetières ou les hammams, ainsi que pour certains usages où le point d'arrosage est peu éloigné du support (fleuristes, pépiniéristes, ouvriers de chantiers, ...) et où un tuyau connecté peut se révéler peu pratique. Il est à noter que le dispositif selon l'invention ne présente pas d'inconvénient par rapport à un arrosoir traditionnel, notamment du fait qu'il peut toujours être rempli de manière classique. Son marché potentiel est donc composé des ventes actuelles d'arrosoirs auxquelles s'ajoutent les achats de renouvellement spécifiquement provoqués par les avantages qu'offre la présente invention. Le gain de temps obtenu par l'usage alterné de deux ou plusieurs dispositifs selon la présente invention contribue encore à augmenter son marché. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le robinet flotteur est muni d'un réglage (9, 9b) facilement accessible du niveau de remplissage. L'utilisateur peut ainsi ajuster facilement la réserve permanente d'eau et réduire le poids transporté. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'arrosoir est équipé d'un dispositif d'éclairage (7) dirigé vers le point d'écoulement de l'arrosoir. L'arrosage s'effectuant le plus souvent en fin de journée, cet éclairage permet un arrosage confortable et contrôlé à la tombée de la nuit. Une bonne qualité d'éclairage est obtenue avec peu d'énergie électrique, du fait de l'écoulement doux et localisé de l'arrosoir. Ce système d'éclairage peut avantageusement être muni d'un détecteur de mouvement ou d'inclinaison et d'une temporisation, permettant l'extinction automatique après une période d'inactivité, ceci afin de préserver l'autonomie en cas d'oubli d'extinction manuelle. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'arrosoir est muni d'un emplacementThanks to these provisions, the device according to the invention allows comfortable and controlled watering in low lighting conditions. According to particular characteristics, the device as briefly described above comprises a movement or tilt sensor and a delay ensuring automatic extinction of the lighting means after a period of immobility. Thanks to these provisions, automatic shutdown after a period of non-use makes it possible to cope with the forgetting of manual shutdown and therefore to extend autonomy. According to particular characteristics, the device as succinctly described above comprises a housing or a fixing means suitable for carrying at least one hand tool. Thanks to these provisions, and the fact that the filling is carried out without supervision, the user can alternately pour his watering can and perform other tasks during filling using said tools. This practice makes the best use of the feed rate and allows higher productivity for an amount of water identical to that poured in a given time by a gun or a lance. According to particular characteristics, the device as succinctly described above comprises an apparatus for restitution or emission / reception of sounds. Thanks to these provisions, the user has the possibility of taking advantage of the watering time to distract, communicate or inform himself. According to a second aspect, the present invention relates to a mobile sprinkler device characterized in that it comprises a lighting means adapted to illuminate the sprinkled elements. The advantages, aims and particular characteristics of this second aspect being similar to those described for the first aspect, they are not repeated here. Other advantages, aims and characteristics of the present invention will emerge from the description which follows, for explanatory purposes and in no way limiting, with reference to the appended drawings in which: FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically and in perspective represent two embodiments individuals of the device according to the invention. With reference to these figures, the device comprises a watering can (1) equipped with a connector (2,2b) for connecting it to a supply pipe (3) allowing it to be filled and a float valve (5 , 5b) ensuring the filling stop when a certain level is reached. The connection between the watering can and the hose is preferably made using a quick coupling (2, 2b) fixed on the outside wall or on the handle of the watering can, and a quick coupling ( 4, 4b) fitted with a stop valve on the pipe side. The watering can can be detached from the food with a simple gesture, for example to go further than the hose allows, without the need to cut off the supply to the tap. Such a device provides the user with a significant saving of time, since the filling starts as soon as it begins to pour, the filling and emptying times are thus at least partly juxtaposed, and a reserve is formed during the displacements. between two watering points, making the best use of the sometimes limited flow of the hose. The shutdown being automatic, the user no longer has to monitor the water level and naturally tends to occupy the filling time more usefully, for example by cutting dead flowers or by pulling weeds. The pleasure of being able to make the most of your garden during these filling times proves to be a significant advantage of the invention. The float valve (5.5b) can be of any type, for example identical to the models used for sanitary flushing. However, it is preferable to use a high-flow model equipped with a float with rectilinear displacement because it allows the immediate and rapid triggering of a new filling, as soon as the watering can tilted forward. According to a particular embodiment illustrated in Figure 2, the connection can be designed and arranged so as to allow the coupling of the supply by simply placing the watering can on a support (10) adapted to accommodate one or more watering cans according the present invention, itself connected to the power network. It is thus possible to permanently have one or more watering cans always full, especially in situations where this equipment is made available to the public such as cemeteries or hammams, as well as for certain uses where the watering point is not far from the support (florists, nurserymen, construction workers, ...) and where a connected pipe can prove impractical. It should be noted that the device according to the invention does not have any drawback compared to a traditional watering can, in particular because it can always be filled in a conventional manner. Its potential market is therefore composed of current sales of watering cans, to which are added the renewal purchases specifically brought about by the advantages offered by the present invention. The time savings obtained by the alternating use of two or more devices according to the present invention further contributes to increasing its market. According to a particular embodiment, the float valve is provided with an easily accessible adjustment (9, 9b) of the filling level. The user can easily adjust the permanent water reserve and reduce the weight transported. According to a particular embodiment, the watering can is equipped with a lighting device (7) directed towards the pour point of the watering can. As watering is most often done at the end of the day, this lighting allows comfortable and controlled watering at dusk. Good lighting quality is obtained with little electrical energy, due to the gentle and localized flow of the watering can. This lighting system can advantageously be equipped with a movement or tilt detector and a time delay, allowing automatic switching off after a period of inactivity, this in order to preserve autonomy in the event of forgetting to manual shutdown.
