Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a connection device between a flowerpot mounting table with a lighting device and a partition.

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques / devices] It is well known that, in offices and the like, a flowerpot is placed on a flowerpot holder, but the conventional flowerpot holder is simply Since it only has the function of placing a flower pot, people have to supply water to the plants planted in the flower pot with dew, etc., which takes a lot of time and is left unattended for a long time. There was a problem that the plant died.

Therefore, as a prior art of water supply device, the actual development 59
JP-A-47461 discloses that the tip of a water supply pipe is exposed to the inside of a flower pot, and an electromagnetic valve is provided in the middle of the water supply pipe so that the solenoid valve is opened when the water content in the flower pot becomes a certain amount or less. We have proposed a device that is related.

However, this prior art has an advantage that water can be accurately supplied to the flower pots, but on the other hand, since the flower pots are provided scattered in the room, in order to supply water to each flower pot, the water supply pipes need to be stretched in the room. This requires a great deal of cost for the construction work and also deteriorates the appearance. Therefore, there is a problem that it cannot be practically carried out in offices, homes and the like.

In addition, when the flower pot is installed indoors, there is a problem in that the growth of the plant is hindered due to lack of sunshine.
Japanese Patent No. 53 proposes a device in which a pillar is erected from the bottom of the flower pot and a lamp with an umbrella is attached to the upper end of the pillar.

However, since this structure has a pillar extending from the center part of the flower pot, it is very unsightly, and the lower part of the pillar embedded in the soil corrodes and easily leaks electricity.
There was a problem that replanting of plants was extremely troublesome.

On the other hand, a partition partition installed in a room has, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-172511, the lower left and right ends of the partition panel or the lower ends of the left and right columns, which are orthogonal to the wall surface of the partition panel. It is well known that the body is made to stand on the floor by being supported by the legs that extend in the vertical direction, but the length of this leg has a certain limit so as not to interfere with the walking of people. Therefore, there is a problem that stability is poor.

Furthermore, it is often the case that the partition and the flower pot mounting table are arranged side by side, but in this case, since the two have been conventionally constructed without any relation, the structure as a whole is complicated.

The present invention solves the problem of water supply to a flower pot and the problem of lighting, respectively, and also solves the problem of water supply and the problem of illumination when a partition and a flower pot mounting table are installed side by side. It is intended to enable the partition to stably stand on its own without complicating the structure by utilizing the means for doing so.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve this object, in the present invention, a hose is inserted into a bendable pipe erected on the upper surface of a water tank built-in type flower pot mounting table, and the water in the water tank is connected to a pump that is intermittently driven by a timer. The surface of the panel-shaped support is configured to supply water into the flowerpot through the hose, and one side surface of the flowerpot mounting table and one side surface of the lighting device disposed above the flowerpot mounting table. And the side end of the partition is fixed to the back surface of the panel-shaped support.

[Function and effect of device]

In this configuration, by bending the tip end of the bendable pipe erected from the flower pot mounting table downward and allowing the end of the hose to face the inside of the flower pot, the pump operates intermittently with the timer, The water in the water tank is supplied to the flowerpot every time a certain period of time elapses.Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the time and effort required to water the flowerpot, and to ensure that the plant will die due to the long-term unattended state. It can be prevented.

The hose for water supply to the flower pot is inserted into the bendable pipe, and by bending this bendable pipe appropriately, the height and direction of the tip of the hose can be freely changed. , The water can be accurately supplied to the plant even if the height is different. Moreover, when the tip of the bendable pipe is curved, the hose will bend due to its elasticity to the inner surface of the bendable pipe. Since it causes friction between the outer surface of the hose and the inner surface of the bendable tube, the hose does not need any special fixing means and can be retained only by being inserted into the bendable tube. Although it is possible to accurately supply water to various flower pots having different shapes and sizes, the hose support structure does not become complicated.

In this way, the flowerpot placement table itself is provided with an automatic water supply function, and moreover, even if the shape or size of the flowerpot is different, water can be supplied accurately, so there is no need to water the plants even in the office or at home. That is, it is possible to surely realize that the plant is not killed due to the unmanned state continuing for a long time.

Further, by providing the lighting device, it is possible to solve the lack of sunshine and promote the growth of plants, and it is possible to illuminate the plants so that they are raised, so that the effect of the interior of the plants can be enhanced. The illuminating device is attached to a fixed panel support attached to the side surface of the flower pot mounting table, and is provided independently of the flower pot. Therefore, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-1253. However, problems such as deterioration of appearance and electric leakage, and difficulty in plant replanting do not occur, and the plant can be accurately illuminated regardless of the shape and size of the flower pot.

Moreover, by connecting the support for mounting the lighting device to the other surface of the partition panel, this plate functions as an end panel for making the partition self-supporting, and the partition self-supports without separately providing legs. But you can
The support is equipped with an automatic water supply device such as a water storage tank, and the weight of the flowerpot mounting base, which is increased in weight, is fixed to the lower portion of the support, so that the self-sustaining stability of the partition panel can be significantly improved.

Therefore, the partition panel can be self-supported by using the support for mounting the lighting device, and the self-sustaining stability of the partition is significantly improved by using the flowerpot mounting table whose weight is increased by providing the automatic water supply function. Therefore, when the partition and the flower pot mounting table are arranged side by side, it is possible to achieve stable self-supporting of the partition without complicating the structure.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 is a flowerpot mounting table having a rectangular shape in plan view for mounting the flowerpot A, and reference numeral 2 is an upper portion of the flowerpot mounting table 1. Panel-shaped supports for supporting the lighting device 3 are shown in FIG.

The flowerpot mounting table 1 is formed in a bottomed box shape with a large opening on the top, and a saucer 4 for the flowerpot A is detachably placed on the upper surface, and a strip-shaped metal plate is placed from the edge of the saucer 4. A bendable tube 5 which is configured to be bendable by spirally winding is installed upright, a flexible hose 6 made of vinyl or the like is inserted into the bendable tube 5, and the tip of the bendable tube 6 is inserted. The tip of the hose 6 is exposed to the inside of the flower pot A by curving downwards, while the water tank 7 having an upward opening is removably placed inside the flower pot mounting table 1 and The base end of the hose 6 is connected to the submerged pump 8.

Then, by connecting the power cord 9 of the pump 8 to the timer 10 and energizing the pump 8 intermittently (for example, every 24 hours) for a fixed time (for example, about 20 seconds), a predetermined time elapses. In addition, a certain amount of water is supplied into the flower pot A.

The timer 10 is fixed to the side plate of the flower pot mounting table 1 such that the operating portion 10a and the switch 10b are exposed to the outside, and the central portion of the saucer 4 is provided with the tank 7 in the tank 7. A drain port 4a having a diameter smaller than that of the opening 7a is bored so that the water flowing out from the flowerpot A naturally flows down into the tank 7.

The support body 2 is composed of a rectangular frame body 2b composed of upper and lower horizontal rods 19a and 19b and left and right vertical rods 19c, and a plate body 2a fitted to the frame body 2b. While fixing the screw 11 to one side surface of the flower pot mounting table 1, the cylindrical lamp case 12 of the lighting device 3 is detachably fixed to the upper surface of the support body 2 with the screw 13, and the lamp case 12 A lamp 14 such as a fluorescent lamp is removably attached to the inside of the container by an appropriate locking means (not shown). Further, the lid 15 is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the lamp case 12, while a perforated plate 16 formed by forming a large number of small holes in a transparent plate or a semitransparent plate is attached to the lower opening of the lamp case 12. It is detachably attached, and the power switch 1 for the lamp 14 and the pump 8 is provided on the outer surface of the lamp case 12.
7 and 18 are provided.

The frame 2b of the support 2 has a thickness equal to that of the plate 2a.
It is formed so as to have a thickness larger than that of the frame body 2b.
Are integrally fixed, and the vertical mounting rods 20 and 21 are fixed to the back surface of the plate body 2a with screws 22, and between the back surface of the left and right vertical mounting rods 20 and the back surface of the vertical mounting rod 21 in the central portion. A plurality of horizontally long locking plates 23 are fixed at appropriate intervals in the vertical direction, while downward hook-shaped locking pieces 25 are fixed on the front surface of the auxiliary panel 24 that closes the back surface of the frame body 19. It is fitted on the horizontally long locking plate 23.

Reference numeral 26 indicates a partition, and the partition 26 is formed in a hollow shape by detachably mounting partition panels 28 on the front and back surfaces of a pair of left and right columns 27. The partition 26 has one strut 27 fixed to a vertically elongated mounting rod 21 attached to the frame body 19 with screws 29, while the other strut 27 has substantially the same shape as the panel-shaped strut body 2. The end panel 30 is fixed, and the partition panel 28, the panel-shaped support 2 and the end panel 30 are formed in a substantially H shape in a plan view so that they stand on the floor.

In this case, the power cord 9 for the pump 8 is pulled out into the hollow portion of the partition 26 through the through hole 32 formed in the lower horizontal rod 19b of the frame body 2b, while the power cord 31 for the lamp 14 is also connected to the plate body 2a. Through hole 34 and frame body 2 formed in
The power supply cords 9 and 31 are prevented from being exposed to the outside by pulling out into the hollow portion of the partition 26 through the through holes 35 respectively formed in the vertically elongated attachment rod 21 and the column 27 in b. The cord 36 for the switch 18 of the pump 8 is also inserted through the hole 37 formed in the lower horizontal rod 19b of the frame body 2b into the space between the plate body 2 and the frame body 19.

In the above configuration, if the tip of the bendable tube 5 is bent in the direction in which the tip of the hose 6 is exposed to the inside of the flowerpot A, the pump 8 is intermittently energized by the timer 10 as described above. By doing so, a fixed amount of water is supplied to the flowerpot A every time a fixed time elapses, so that it is possible to eliminate the time and labor required to water the flowerpot A, and the plant B can be left unattended for a long time. It can be surely prevented from dying.

Further, the water supply hose 6 is inserted into the bendable pipe 5, and by appropriately bending the bendable pipe 5, the height and direction of the tip of the hose 6 can be freely changed. Even if the shape, size, height, etc. of the are different, it is possible to supply water accurately. In this case, in a state where the tip end of the bendable tube 5 is curved, the hose 6 abuts on the inner surface of the bendable tube 5 by its own elasticity, and the hose 6 is placed between the outer surface of the hose 6 and the inner surface of the bendable tube 5. Since friction is generated in the hose 6, the hose 6 can be held so as not to come off simply by inserting it into the bendable tube 5, and water can be accurately supplied to various flower pots A having different shapes and sizes.
The mounting structure of the hose 6 does not become complicated.

Then, since the plant B is illuminated by the illumination device 3,
You can eliminate the lack of sunlight and promote the growth of plant B,
Since the plant B can be illuminated so as to rise, the effect of the plant B as an interior can be enhanced, but the lighting device 3 is attached to the plate body 2 fixed to the side surface of the flower pot mounting table 1, Since it is provided independently of the flowerpot A, there are no problems such as deterioration of the appearance, leakage of electricity, and difficulty in replanting the plant. The shape and size of the flowerpot A or the plant B It is possible to illuminate accurately regardless of height or the like.

Moreover, since the support body 2 for mounting the lighting device 3 also serves as an end panel for making the partition 26 self-supporting,
The partition 26 can be self-supporting without separately providing legs, and when the flower pot mounting table 1 and the partition 26 are arranged in parallel, the support structure of the partition 26 can be simplified, but the support 2 is Since the water tank 7 and the like are fixed to the flowerpot mounting table 1 whose weight has increased, the self-sustaining stability of the partition 26 can be significantly improved.

In this case, when the drain 4a is formed in the saucer 4 of the flowerpot mounting table 1 as in the embodiment, the water flowing out from the flowerpot A is collected in the tank 7, so that the flowerpot A is excessively supplied with water. However, there is an advantage that it is possible to surely prevent the time and labor required for water treatment and deterioration of appearance. Further, as in the embodiment, the power cords 9 and 3 are provided in the hollow portion of the partition 26 and the space of the frame body 19.
