  As described above, various types of automatic watering devices have been conceived and used in the past. However, since they are complicated and expensive and are not common, the present invention is simple in configuration and relatively inexpensive. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic water supply device that can be supplied, can be used casually even in ordinary households, and can automatically and continuously perform watering and water supply operations once started.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the device according to claim 1 is provided with a water tank from which a water pipe is drawn and from which a water supply tube is taken out, and a float that moves up and down in accordance with the amount of water in the tank. The other end of the wire fixed to a lever that opens and closes a stop cock installed at one end of the water pipe is fixed to the float, and the float descends to connect the wire The stop cock can be opened by pulling the lever by tensioning, and the stop cock can be closed by abutting and pushing up the lever. Therefore, the automatic water supply apparatus is characterized in that a predetermined amount of water is always stored in the water tank, and a predetermined amount of water can be supplied from the water supply tube at all times.

  Preferably, two clamping plates are provided in the middle of the water supply tube, and the clamping pressure by the two clamping plates is adjusted by advancing and retreating the adjusting screw contacting one of the clamping plates. Deploy a water volume adjuster that can adjust the water flow rate. The water supply tube may be branched, and a nozzle may be attached to the tip of the water supply tube.

  The present invention is as described above, can be supplied at a relatively low cost with a simple structure, can be used easily even in ordinary households, and once started, it automatically and continuously sprays and supplies water over a long period of time. There is an effect that can be performed, and there is an effect that the amount of water supply can be adjusted.

  A preferred embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a use state of an automatic water supply apparatus according to the present invention, which is a water tank 1 into which a water pipe 8 is drawn, a water supply tube 2 coming out of the water tank 1, and a water amount adjustment provided in the middle of the water supply tube 2. It consists of a tool 3 and a nozzle 4 attached to the tip of the water supply tube 2 as necessary.

  2 and 3 are views showing the internal structure of the water tank 1, and a float 5 is provided in the water tank 1 as shown therein. The float 5 is supported by a swing arm 6 attached to the inner wall of the water tank 1 and moves up and down according to the water volume in the water tank 1.

  The water pipe 8 drawn into the water tank 1 is inserted from above into a support plate 7 disposed at the top of the water tank 1 and fixed thereto. A stop cock 9 is installed in a portion of the water pipe 8 that projects below the support plate 7, and a J-shaped lever 10 for opening and closing the stop cock 9 is attached. One end of a metal wire or other strong wire 11 is attached to the tip of the lever 10, and the other end of the wire 11 is fixed to the upper surface of the float 5. Reference numeral 12 denotes a lid of the water tank 1.

  FIGS. 4 to 6 are diagrams showing the configuration and operation of the water amount adjuster 3. The water amount adjuster 3 includes a container 15 through which the water supply tube 2 is inserted and a pair of upper and lower pressure plates 16 installed in the container 15. , 17, a lid 18 and an adjustment screw 19 installed on the lid 18. The clamping plate 16 and the clamping plate 17 are supported by four support posts 20, usually screws, with the four corners sandwiching the water supply tube 2, and only the upper clamping plate 16 can slide up and down along the support post 20. It is.

  The clamping plate 16 is in contact with the tip of an adjustment screw 19 and is pushed by screwing the adjustment screw 19. Therefore, the clamping plate 16 can be moved up and down by the advancement and retraction of the adjustment screw 19 (upward movement is caused by the restoring force of the water supply tube 2). The amount of water can be adjusted.

  The tip of the water supply tube 2 is branched as necessary, and a nozzle 4 such as a porous tube is appropriately attached to each branch end as necessary, and inserted into the soil such as a pot 22 to be supplied with water. The water supply tube 2 may be branched before reaching the water amount adjuster 3, and the water amount adjuster 3 may be provided in each branch path.

  In the above configuration, when the inside of the water tank 1 is empty, that is, when the float 5 is at the descending end and the stop cock 9 is in the open state, the tip of the water supply tube 2 is inserted into the soil such as a pot 22 or the like. When water is supplied to the pipe 8, water is supplied into the water tank 1 through the stop cock 9 and gradually stored, and part of the water flows out to the water supply tube 2. As the amount of water increases, the float 5 rises and eventually hits the lever 10 to push it up. Thus, the lever 10 is rotated and the stop cock 9 is gradually closed, and the stop cock 9 is completely closed when the water tank 1 is full. Thus, water supply from the water pipe 8 is temporarily stopped.

  However, since the outflow from the water supply tube 2 continues little by little during that time and thereafter, the water stored in the water tank 1 is gradually reduced and the float 5 is lowered. When the float 5 is lowered to a certain position, the loosened wire 11 is tensioned, and the lever 10 is pulled and rotated. Thus, the stop cock 9 that has been closed gradually opens, and water supply from the water pipe 8 begins again, and the water volume in the water tank 1 increases.

  Since the above operation is automatically and repeatedly performed according to the volume of water in the water tank 1, the water supply to the water supply tube 2, that is, the water supply to the bowl 22 and the like is not interrupted. Adjustment of the amount of water supplied to the bowl 22 and the like is performed by moving the adjustment screw 19 of the water amount adjusting tool 3 forward and backward.

  This device is used not only for watering entrances and gardens in general households, watering garden plants and home gardens, but also for various uses such as water supply to agricultural crops and water for livestock etc. Is available.

  Since the structure is simple, it is easy to manufacture, can be supplied at a low price, and is easy to maintain. Moreover, according to a use, the amount adjustment | control water 3 can also be operated and the amount of supplied water can also be adjusted.

  Although the invention has been described in some detail with respect to its most preferred embodiment, it will be apparent that a wide variety of different embodiments can be constructed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is not restricted to the specific embodiment other than limiting in.
