[0002] For plants planted in various cultivation containers (such as flower pots), a watering device is generally used to achieve automatic watering. An existing watering device uses capillary phenomenon and siphon principle to realize automatic water supply to the cultivation container. For example, the flower pot watering device K disclosed in Chinese utility model patent No. CN203692108U includes a water delivery rod 1 and a clamp 20. The clamp 20 is retained on the curved portion 2 of the water delivery rod 1. Among them, the clamp 20 includes a clamp body 21, a cover body 23 and a fixing device. A groove with an open mouth 22 is recessed on the clamp body 21, and the cover body 23 covers the open mouth 22 of the clamp body 21, and the cover body 23 is detachably fixed to the clamp body 21 by a fixing device to clamp the water delivery rod 1. In addition, the fixing device includes a first fixing device 30A, a second fixing device 30B, and a third fixing device 30C of different structures.

[0003] The existing flower pot irrigation device K has the following defects: 1. The clamp 20 is composed of a clamp body 21 and a cover body 23. The two need to be formed separately through two processes during the production process. There are many production processes, low production efficiency, and more production materials, resulting in high production costs. In addition, three different structures of fixing devices are further formed on the clamp body 21 and the cover body 23 with smaller structures, which is complex in structure, difficult to manufacture, and has a high mold opening cost, which also causes the cost to remain high. 2. The two ends 1a and 1b of the water delivery rod 1 protrude from the clamp 20 and are exposed to the air. During long-term use, the water delivery rod 1 is easily collapsed due to impact, etc., shortening the service life of the irrigation device K. In addition, when the weather is dry, it is easy to cause water evaporation and affect the delivery flow.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which similar element numbers represent similar elements. It should be noted that the orientation descriptions involved in the present invention, such as the orientations or positional relationships indicated by up, down, left, right, front, and back, are all based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the technical solutions of the present application or / and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limitations on the present application. The first, second, etc. described are only used to distinguish technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0031] Combine first Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the water dripper 100 provided by the utility model is particularly suitable for automatically watering plants in a cultivation container. The water dripper 100 introduces water in a water supply container B into the cultivation container through capillary phenomenon and siphon principle phenomenon to achieve automatic watering. The water supply container B and the cultivation container are not specifically limited in the utility model. The water supply container B can be any container that can hold water, such as a plastic bottle, and the cultivation container can be any container that can plant plants, such as a flower pot.

[0032] Continue to combine Figure 1-Figure 9As shown, in the present invention, the water dripper 100 includes a water delivery rod 110, a sleeve 120 and a clamp 130. The water delivery rod 110 includes a fiber bundle 111 and a coating 112 wrapped around the outer periphery of the fiber bundle 111. The sleeve 120 is sleeved outside the water delivery rod 110, and at least one end of the water delivery rod 110 protrudes out of the sleeve 120, and the end of the water delivery rod 110 protruding out of the sleeve 120 serves as a water immersion portion 110a that can be immersed in water, and the other end of the water delivery rod 110 serves as a water flow-down portion 110b. The clamp 130 includes a clamp body 131 and a stopper band 132, and a curved receiving groove 1311 is provided on the clamp body 131, and the stopper band 132 is integrally formed on at least one side wall of the receiving groove 1311, and the stopper band 132 can be detachably connected to the clamp body 131. Therefore, when the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 are connected to each other and are clamped in the receiving groove 1311, the stopper belt 132 is buckled with the clamp body 131 to keep the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 in the receiving groove 1311, and the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 are kept in a bent shape through the receiving groove 1311. When in use, the immersion part 110a is immersed in the water in the water supply container, and the downward flow part 110b is arranged in the cultivation container, so that the water in the water supply container can be sucked up and transported to the cultivation container through capillary action and siphon principle to realize automatic watering.

[0033] Combination Figure 1-Figure 6 , Fig. 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, the side surface of the clamp body 131 is roughly C-shaped or U-shaped. The side surface of the clamp body 131 is recessed to form the receiving groove 1311, so that the receiving groove 1311 is directly formed into a C-shape or a U-shape according to the shape of the clamp body 131, and the receiving groove 1311 passes through the two ends of the clamp body 131 to form two ports. The sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 that are mutually sleeved can be directly pressed into the receiving groove 1311 from the side of the clamp body 131, and the two ends of the sleeve 120 extend out of the clamp body 131 through the two ends of the receiving groove 1311, thereby maintaining the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 as a whole in a V-shape (such as) through the curved receiving groove 1311. Figure 1-3 as shown) or U-shaped (as Fig. 9 Of course, the clamp body 131 can be formed into any shape, which does not affect the setting of the receiving groove 1311, and the shape of the receiving groove 1311 is not limited to C-shape or U-shape, and can be flexibly set according to needs.

[0034] Combination Figure 5-Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, at least two stopper strips 132 are integrally formed on the clamp body 131, and the stopper strips 132 are respectively formed at least at the two end positions of the receiving groove 1311. The stopper strips 132 are formed on at least one side wall of the receiving groove 1311, that is, each stopper strip 132 can be formed on the same side wall or different side walls of the receiving groove 1311. At the same time, the portion where each stopper strip 132 is connected to the clamp body 131 is flexible, and the end of each stopper strip 132 away from the clamp body 131 can be detachably buckled with the clamp body 131. Therefore, the stopper band 132 can be bent and then pressed on the top of the sleeve 120 and buckled on the clamp body 131, that is, the stopper band 132 is bent so that it passes through the opening of the receiving groove 1311 and then buckled on the clamp body 131, so as to keep the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 in the receiving groove 1311. By arranging the stopper bands 132 at the two end positions of the receiving groove 1311, the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 can be effectively fixed by pressing the stopper bands 132 to buckle them, so as to prevent them from escaping from the receiving groove 1311. Compared with the method of installing the cover body on the clamp body, the assembly operation of the present application is simpler, and the number of stopper bands 132 is reduced, which simplifies the structure of the clamp 130 as a whole, saves production materials and reduces production costs. Moreover, the production of the clamp 130 can be completed by molding in one step. Compared with the method of molding the clamp body and the cover body separately in the prior art, the clamp 130 of the present application saves production steps and improves production efficiency.

[0035] Continue to combine Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, in a specific embodiment, three stopper strips 132 are integrally formed on the clamp body 131, wherein two stopper strips 132 are respectively formed at the two end positions of the receiving groove 1311, and another stopper strip 132 is formed in the middle of the receiving groove 1311. Moreover, the three stopper strips 132 are all formed on the same side wall of the receiving groove 1311, and each stopper strip 132 can pass through the opening of the receiving groove 1311 after being bent and buckled to the other side wall of the receiving groove 1311. The three stopper strips 132 spaced apart at both ends and the middle not only ensure that the fixing of the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 is more stable, but also simplify the structure of the clamp 130, making the production easier and reducing the production cost.

[0036] It is understandable that the number and arrangement of the retaining bands 132 can be flexibly adjusted according to specific needs.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 5-6As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the clamp 130 further includes a buckling portion 133, and the buckling portion 133 is arranged on the two side walls of the accommodating groove 1311 corresponding to the stopper strip 132. In addition, the stopper strip 132 and the buckling portion 133 are respectively provided with matching snap-fitting protrusions 1321 and snap-fitting holes 1331, and the snap-fitting protrusions 1321 are wedge-shaped structures, and the snap-fitting protrusions 1321 are detachably snapped into the snap-fitting holes 1331. In a specific embodiment, three buckling portions 133 are arranged one by one corresponding to the three stopper strips 132. Each buckling portion 133 is a plate-shaped structure, and each buckling portion 133 is provided with a snap-fitting hole 1331. The buckling parts 133 are all protruding from the inner side of the curved clamp body 131, that is, the buckling parts 133 are protruding from the inner side of the U-shaped or C-shaped clamp body 131, so that the volume of the stopper belt 132 after buckling can be reduced and the appearance quality can be improved. The stopper belt 132 is integrally formed on the outer side of the curved clamp body 131, and each end of the stopper belt 132 is provided with a wedge-shaped locking protrusion 1321, and the rear end of the locking protrusion 1321 forms a contact surface 1322 (see Figure 5 ). Combined Figure 1 As shown, after the stopper belt 132 is bent, it can cross the opening of the accommodating groove 1311, and then the engaging protrusion 1321 is pressed into the engaging hole 1331. At this time, the abutting surface 1322 of the engaging protrusion 1321 abuts against the buckling portion 133, thereby preventing the engaging protrusion 1321 from being separated from the engaging hole 1331. The buckling protrusion 1321 and the engaging hole 1331 make it easier to buckle and disassemble the stopper belt 132. Compared with the method of fixing the water delivery rod 110 by installing a cover on the clamp body in the prior art, the assembly and disassembly operation of the water delivery rod 110 and the clamp 130 in the present application is obviously more convenient.

[0038] Combination Figure 5-6 , Figure 10-11 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, a card slot 134 is further provided on the clamp body 131, and the extension direction of the card slot 134 is staggered with the extension direction of the accommodating groove 1311. The card slot 134 is used to engage with the opening edge Ba of the water supply container B or the cultivation container, so that the dripper 100 is installed at the opening position of the water supply container B or the cultivation container. Specifically, the card slot 134 is provided on the inner side of the curved clamp body 131, that is, the card slot 134 is provided on the inner side of the U-shape or C-shape of the clamp body 131. In this way, after installation, the inner side of the U-shape or C-shape of the clamp body 131 is inserted into the opening position of the water supply container B or the cultivation container and supported, so that the card slot 134 is inconspicuous, thereby improving the appearance quality.

[0039] Continue to combine Figure 5-Figure 6As shown, in a specific embodiment, a first clamping arm 1341 and a second clamping arm 1342 are protrudingly provided below the clamp body 131, and the first clamping arm 1341 and the second clamping arm 1342 specifically protrude from the inner side of the U-shaped or C-shaped clamp body 131. The first clamping arm 1341 and the second clamping arm 1342 are spaced apart to form the clamping slot 134, and at least one of the first clamping arm 1341 and the second clamping arm 1342 is an elastic structure. Therefore, when the opening edge Ba of the water supply container B or the cultivation container is inserted into the clamping slot 134 for installation, the first clamping arm 1341 and / or the second clamping arm 1342 with an elastic structure abut against the opening edge Ba of the container due to elasticity, so that it can be stably engaged with the container to prevent the dripper 100 from tilting.

[0040] Continue to combine Figure 5-Figure 6 , Figure 10-11 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the first clamping arm 1341 is a plate-like structure, and the second clamping arm 1342 is a strip-like structure and is formed on the side of the first clamping arm 1341. Therefore, the second clamping arm 1342 is an elastic structure. More specifically, at least one of the first clamping arm 1341 and the second clamping arm 1342 is provided with a push protrusion 1343 protruding into the slot 134. In this specific embodiment, a push protrusion 1343 with a triangular structure is provided at the end of the second clamping arm 1342. The push protrusion 1343 protrudes toward the first clamping arm 1341 and is located in the slot 134. As shown in FIG. Figure 10-11 As shown, when the opening edge Ba of the container is inserted into the slot 134, the pushing protrusion 1343 engages with the threaded teeth of the opening edge Ba of the container, thereby preventing the dripper 100 from tilting and further improving the stability of the fixture 130 after installation.

[0041] Combine the following Figure 1-4 , Figure 7-8As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, the fiber bundle 111 is formed by a plurality of fiber bodies F, and each fiber body F is formed by a plurality of resin fiber lines f. For example, 15 fiber lines f containing resins such as polyester (DTY) are assembled to form a fiber body F, and then a plurality of fiber bodies F are assembled to form a fiber bundle 111. The coating 112 can be a resin film layer, or a wax film, etc., which is not specifically limited in the utility model. In one embodiment, a resin coating 112 is formed on the outside of the fiber bundle 111. For example, the fiber bundle 111 can be pulled through a molten resin such as molten polyurethane (polyurethane rubber) in an injection tank and dried, thereby forming a resin coating 112 on the periphery of the fiber bundle 111. The molten resin can also be applied or sprayed on the outer surface of the fiber bundle 111 to obtain a resin coating 112. The water delivery rod 110 can then be cut to the required length. Therefore, compared with the prior art method of obtaining the water delivery rod 110 by continuously filling the entire length of the tube with fiber, the structure of the water delivery rod 110 in the utility model simplifies the manufacturing method and steps, making the manufacturing extremely easy and reducing the cost.

[0042] See also Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, a bending and telescopic section 123 is provided in the middle of the sleeve 120, and straight pipe sections 121 and 122 are provided at both ends of the bending and telescopic section 123. The bending and telescopic section 123 is used to realize the bending and / or telescopic of the sleeve 120, so that the middle part of the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 inserted therein are bent and / or telescopic, thereby forming a bent portion corresponding to the shape of the accommodating groove 1311, so that the bent portion can be inserted into the accommodating groove 1311 for quick installation.

[0043] In one embodiment, the bending telescopic section 123 is a corrugated tube, a threaded tube, or a bellows, etc. Of course, the bending telescopic section 123 is not limited thereto.

[0044] Recombination Figure 1-3 , Fig. 9 As shown, the water dripper 100 in the utility model omits the valve provided on the water delivery rod in the prior art for adjusting the water delivery amount, which not only reduces the number of components of the water dripper 100 and simplifies the structure, but also reduces the production cost of the water dripper 100. As for the adjustment of the water delivery amount and the watering time, it is achieved by increasing or decreasing the number of water drippers 100 and / or water supply containers B. Specifically, due to the simplified structure of the water dripper 100, the number of water drippers 100 that can be installed on each water supply container B at the same time increases, thereby adjusting the amount of irrigation water by increasing or decreasing the number of water drippers 100 according to the user's requirements. Of course, the watering time can also be adjusted by using more than two water supply containers B.

[0045] Combine the following Figure 1-6 , Fig. 9 As shown, when the water dripper 100 of the present invention is assembled, the water delivery rod 110 is first inserted into the sleeve 120. In one embodiment, both ends of the water delivery rod 110 protrude out of the sleeve 120, but the lengths of the two ends of the water delivery rod 110 protruding out of the sleeve 120 are different. Specifically, the end of the water delivery rod 110 protruding out of the straight pipe section 121 of the sleeve 120 is longer and serves as the immersion part 110a that can be immersed in water, and the end of the water delivery rod 110 protruding out of the straight pipe section 122 of the sleeve 120 is shorter and serves as the flow-down part 110b under which water flows, see FIG. Figure 1-3 Then, the middle parts of the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 that are connected to each other are bent to form a curved portion. Specifically, force is applied to the curved telescopic section 123 of the sleeve 120, so that the curved telescopic section 123 and the water delivery rod 110 are bent to form a curved portion.

[0046] Then, the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 are installed on the fixture 130. Figure 3 As shown, the sleeve 120 and the curved portion of the water delivery rod 110 are pressed into the receiving groove 1311 from the side of the clamp body 131, and both ends of the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 protrude outside the clamp body 131. Figure 1 As shown, the stopping band 132 is bent so that the stopping band 132 crosses the opening of the accommodating groove 1311 and is pressed on the top of the sleeve 120, and then the locking protrusion 1321 at the end of the stopping band 132 is pressed into the locking hole 1331 on the buckling part 133. At this time, the abutting surface 1322 of the locking protrusion 1321 abuts against the buckling part 133 to prevent the locking protrusion 1321 from being separated from the locking hole 1331, thereby stably installing the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 on the clamp body 131. Compared with the structure in the prior art in which the cover body is installed on the clamp body through three different structures of fixing devices to fix the water delivery rod, in the present application, it is only necessary to press the sleeve 120 and the curved portion of the water delivery rod 110 into the accommodating groove 1311, and then buckle the stop band 132 on the buckling portion 133. The water delivery rod 110 can be accommodated in the clamp body 131 through simple operation. The assembly operation of the water delivery rod 110 can be easily carried out, thereby greatly improving the manufacturing efficiency. At the same time, the cover body is omitted, so that the overall structure of the clamp 130 is greatly simplified and the production cost is reduced.

[0047] See also Figure 1-3 , Fig. 9 As shown, after the installation is completed, since the receiving groove 1311 is in a C-shape or a U-shape, the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 that are mutually sleeved and bent are kept in a V-shape or a U-shape, so that the dripper 100 is V-shaped as a whole (such as Figure 1-3 as shown) or U-shaped (as Fig. 9 shown).

[0048] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, when using the water dripper 100, a water supply container B such as a plastic bottle is prepared, water is poured into the water supply container B, and the water is arranged at a position adjacent to a cultivation container (such as a flower pot). Then, the longer end of the water delivery rod 110 protruding out of the sleeve 120 is inserted into the water supply container B as the water immersion part 110a for immersion, and the other end of the water delivery rod 110 as the flow-down part 110b is arranged in the cultivation container. Next, the clamp 130 is installed at the opening position of the container, that is, the opening edge Ba of the water supply container B is inserted into the clamping groove 134, and the water dripper 100 can be quickly installed. In addition, for the water supply container B with a male thread formed on the opening edge Ba, after being clamped in the clamping groove 134, the push protrusion 1343 at the end of the second clamping arm 1342 of the clamp 130 abuts between the threads of the male thread, thereby making it difficult for the clamp 130 to move, so that the water dripper 100 can be reliably supported. In addition, since the inner side of the V-shape or U-shape of the clamp body 131 is inserted into and supported by the opening edge Ba of the water supply container B, the first clamping arm 1341 and the second clamping arm 1342 can be made inconspicuous when the clamp 130 is supported, thereby improving the appearance quality.

[0049] See Table 1 below and Fig.12 As shown, the following table 1 is the result table of the dripping experiment of the water dripper in the present application. After a short time, the entire water delivery rod 110 begins to get wet under the action of capillary tubes. Due to the siphon phenomenon, the water immersion part 110a absorbs the water in the water supply container B and transports it to the apex of the curved part. The absorbed water flows down from the apex of the curved part to the downward flow part 110b due to gravity, thereby allowing the water to be automatically supplied to the cultivation container little by little. Since the curved part of the water delivery rod 110 is held by the clamp 130, water can be supplied stably. In addition, in the initial stage, water drops begin to drip at intervals of about tens of seconds, and the amount of water supplied each day gradually decreases. For example, in the case of a 500ml plastic bottle, about 166ml of water is supplied on the first day, about 104ml of water is supplied on the second day, about 46.5ml of water is supplied on the third day, and the water supply is stopped after about seven days.

[0053] In addition, since the overall structure of the dripper 100 is simplified and the number of components is reduced, the contact area between the dripper 100 and the water supply container B is also minimized, and multiple drippers 100 can be installed simultaneously on the opening edge Ba of a water supply container B. For example, three drippers 100 can be installed simultaneously on the drinking spout of a 500ml plastic bottle. In this way, the number of drippers 100 and / or water supply containers B can be increased or decreased according to the user's requirements, thereby adjusting the watering amount and / or watering duration. For example, if the user intends to water quickly, two or three drippers 100 can be installed on a water supply container B, Fig.11 The illustrated embodiment shows a situation where two water drippers 100 are installed on a water supply container B. Figure 11-12 As shown, it shows the difference in watering amount when one V-shaped water dripper 100 is installed on a 500ml plastic bottle and two V-shaped water drippers 100 are installed on the same bottle. It can be seen that even in the same time, the watering amount will be different, so the watering amount can be adjusted. If the user intends to water for a long time and has a high watering amount requirement, two or more plastic bottles can be used to adjust the watering time and watering amount; if the user intends to water for a long time and has a low watering amount requirement, the amount of water in the plastic bottle can be halved.

[0054] In summary, the water dripper 100 of the present invention, firstly, a sleeve 120 is sleeved on the outside of the water delivery rod 110, and the sleeve 120 is used to prevent the fiber of the water delivery rod 110 from collapsing due to long-term use and impact, thereby extending the service life of the water dripper 100, and at the same time, it can also prevent water evaporation caused by dry weather, ensuring a stable delivery flow rate; secondly, the clamp 130 includes an integrally formed clamp body 131 and a stopper belt 132, and the stopper belt 132 is buckled with the clamp body 131 to fix the sleeve 120 and the water delivery rod 110 The fixture 130 is retained in the accommodating groove 1311, so that the structure of the fixture 130 is greatly simplified compared with the structure of the fixture body 131 and the cover body in the prior art, and the manufacturing difficulty is reduced, which not only saves production materials and reduces production costs, but also completes the production of the fixture 130 in one molding during production, simplifies the production process, improves production efficiency, and reduces costs; further, the valve for adjusting the water delivery amount provided on the water delivery rod in the prior art is omitted, so that the number of components of the dripper is reduced, the structure is simplified, and the production cost of the dripper is further reduced.

[0055] The above disclosure is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
