Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a garden device comprising a fountain object to be placed in a garden as well as a liquid system for supplying a liquid to the fountain object, which liquid system includes a liquid pump and a liquid supply line for pumping liquid to the fountain object through said liquid supply line, and which liquid system further includes a solar panel for generating electric energy for driving the liquid pump, as disclosed e.g. in document US-5 040 726 .
  • Such a garden device is generally known.
  • garden centres are experiencing an increasing public interest in all kinds of garden ornaments and related articles.
  • Said public interest in particular results from an increasing need that people feel to embellish the surroundings of their houses, in particular the garden, with ornaments, such as artistic stone objects.
  • ornaments such as artistic stone objects.
  • garden fountains for example provided with decorative stones as fountain objects, from which water spouts up in a decorative manner with some force.
  • a drawback of the known garden device is that the electric energy generated by the solar panel is stored in batteries of the garden device, so that the batteries will run out after some time in the absence of (sufficient) sunlight. Consequently, the pump can function only for a limited period of time (for example only six hours).
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved garden device which also meets the public's increasing need to arrange their gardens in a decorative way by means of fountain objects.
  • a garden device of the kind described in the introduction characterised in that the liquid system further includes a sensor designed to measure the amount of sunlight as well as a controller designed for connecting the liquid pump to the electricity grid for driving the liquid pump in dependence on the amount of sunlight measured by the sensor.
  • the controller will connect the liquid pump to the electricity grid. Since no use is made of batteries, the charging of said batteries need not be taken into consideration, so that the fountain object can function at any desired moment and for any desired period of time.
  • the sensor and the controller are preferably integrated into one element.
  • the liquid pump is only driven by electric energy from the electricity grid in those cases where the amount of sunlight measured by the sensor alone would not suffice for supplying the electric energy required for driving the liquid pump.
  • the controller sees to it that the liquid pump is automatically connected to the electricity grid without delay and that it is driven purely by electric energy from said electricity grid.
  • the liquid pump is driven by electric energy from the electricity grid and by electric energy generated by the solar panel in situations in which the amount of sunlight measured by the sensor alone would not suffice for supplying the electric energy required for driving the liquid pump.
  • the solar panel generates usable electric energy, to be sure, but not enough to drive the liquid pump on its own.
  • the electric energy generated by the solar panel is nevertheless used for helping to drive the liquid pump (i.e. supplementary to the electric energy from the electricity grid).
  • the fountain object can therefore function at any desired moment and for any desired period of time without objectionable interruptions, whilst use is made at all times of the electric energy supplied by the solar panel.
  • the fountain object comprises a lighting system, which lighting system is fed with electric energy from the electricity grid and/or with electricity generated by the solar panel.
  • a lighting system in particular comprises several LED's.
  • the pressure of the liquid being pumped to the fountain object by the liquid pump is adjustable. It is preferable in that regard if the liquid supply to the fountain object can be controlled in a continuously variable manner, thus providing a virtually infinite number of variation possibilities in having the liquid (water) spout from the fountain object in a decorative manner.
  • the liquid supply to the fountain object can be either shut off or opened, so that the liquid pump in fact has two operative positions, viz. a (fully) closed position, in which no liquid is supplied, and a (fully) open position, in which liquid (water) is allowed to pass.
  • the advantage of this is that a simple, reliable and low-maintenance construction is obtained, wherein the fountain object can adorn the garden in an attractive manner.
  • the liquid pump can preferably be operated by remote control.
  • the liquid system can be connected to the water system of a house.
  • the liquid system is a closed liquid system.
  • the liquid pump is in that case disposed in the liquid reservoir and the fountain object is disposed above the liquid reservoir.
  • the fountain object may be rectangular or circular in shape.
  • a cube-shaped, beam-shaped or spherical fountain object possibly mounted on a standard, is very decorative.
  • a fountain object 4 is placed on a standard 3 in the water reservoir 1, from which fountain object water from the water reservoir 1 being pumped up by the water pump spouts in a visually attractive manner.
  • a ring 5 is furthermore provided on the standard 3, on which ring LED's 6 are mounted, which give the whole a magical look. It will be understood that a closed water circuit is used here.
  • the water pump 2 makes it possible to have water spout up from the fountain object 4 with different forces, if desired. To that end, use is made of a remote control unit 7.
  • a solar panel 9 comprising solar cells 8 is provided, which is capable of converting sunlight into electric energy, as well as an alternating current/direct current converter 10, a so-called AD/DC adapter", which is connected to the electric system of, for example, a house.
  • a so-called “controller” 11 provided with a sensor and a controller determines the manner in which the water pump 2 is driven, and that as follows.
  • the amount of sunlight is measured by a sensor.
  • situation "A” the solar panel 9 will generate electric energy in an amount that will suffice for driving the water pump 2 with said energy alone.
  • the controller will in that case determine that the supply of energy will be effected only by the solar panel 9 and that consequently no electricity will be drawn from the electricity grid.
