Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garden apparatus suitable for installation in a lounge of a hotel, a lobby of a public facility, or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, components composed of small models such as mountains, rocks, rivers and the like have been arranged in a case, and a mist-like water droplet generator has been installed in a relatively large component. Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-117200 discloses an ornament such as a miniature garden in which mist-like water droplets generated by a mist-like water droplet generating device are allowed to leak from an opening provided in a part of the element. According to this, it is possible to improve the landscape of the miniature garden by incorporating a component exhibiting a landscape of a fluid natural phenomenon such as a fog at the foot of the mountain, and to raise the indoor humidity, It does not disturb the atmosphere like a humidifier. However, even if it is necessary to remove the mist and completely expose the small model, it has to wait until the mist drops naturally and disappears. Could not be changed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] The present invention provides an enriched garden apparatus that can generate fog at any time on the foot of a miniature model representing a mountain range and quickly discharge the fog. The task is to [0004] Garden apparatus of the present invention, in order to solve the problems] surrounds the periphery of the miniature model of mountains in the wall, only set the mist generating device for feeding the mist on the inside of the wall,該霧generating device Activated
Activated later, the fog inside the wall is sucked with air and
Exhaust system to the world below the space enclosed by the wall.
It is set up in. When the fog generator is activated, fog accumulates on the inside of the wall, hiding the skirt of the miniature model, creating a landscape in which mountains are floating in the sea of clouds. When the exhaust system is activated, the fog inside the wall is quickly evacuated and the skirt of the miniature model appears. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The garden apparatus 1 of the present invention surrounds a mountain-like miniature model 3 placed on a pedestal 2 with a transparent wall 4, and below the pedestal 2, one or more fog generators 5, a blower 6, and an exhaust The device 7 is built in. In the miniature model 3, models other than mountains, such as lakes, forests, ranches, and houses, can be arranged. Also,
A plurality of through holes 8 serving as an air supply hole and an air intake hole are formed in an inconspicuous portion of the pedestal 2. The wall 4 is made of tempered glass or a transparent synthetic resin such as acrylic, and has a height about the waist of a person (a height about a general handrail). [0006] The fog generator 5 is a conventionally known apparatus,
The fog is generated by an appropriate means such as vibrating water.
A blower 6 is installed near the fog generator 5, and the blower 6 sends fog generated from the fog generator 5 to the inside of the wall 4 through the through hole 8. In the lower part of the pedestal 2, a ventilation hole 9 communicating with the outside air is formed at a position facing the blower 6 and the exhaust device 7. When the exhaust device 7 is operated, the wall 4 is passed through the through hole 8.
The mist collected inside the space is sucked together with the air, and is discharged from the ventilation hole 9 to the outside. Accordingly, when the fog generator 5 and the blower 6 are operated, the fog sent from the through holes 8 accumulates on the inside of the wall 4 and hides the foot of the miniature model 3 in the mountains, as if the mountains float in the sea of clouds. Create a landscape that looks like Next, when the exhaust device 7 is operated, the mist accumulated inside the wall 4 is quickly discharged, and the foot of the miniature model 3 appears again. The number of fog generators 5, blowers 6, and exhaust devices 7 to be installed is determined by the capacity and the scale of the garden device 1. The mist generator 5, the blower 6 and the exhaust device 7 can be operated manually by hand. However, the mist generator 5 and the blower 6 are automatically controlled to operate for a certain period of time. May be repeated, and the mist generating device 5 and the blower 6 may be operated again after a lapse of a predetermined time from the discharge of the mist. In addition, the portion below the pedestal 2 of the garden device 1, that is, the fog generator 5, the blower 6, and the exhaust device 7 can be stored below the floor on which the garden device 1 is installed. In this case, the operation sounds of the fog generator 5, the blower 6, and the exhaust device 7 are less likely to sound outside. Further, at least a part of the miniature model 3 is formed to be hollow, and the mist generating device 5 is housed inside the miniature model 3 so that the mist is sent out from a through hole provided at the foot of the mountain of the miniature model 3. May be. Further, it is also possible to install a plurality of lighting devices at appropriate places inside the wall 4 to light up the fog accumulated inside the wall 4.
At this time, the color of the light to be irradiated can be changed to purple, pink, blue, or the like, so as to produce a change in the weather or a lapse of time such as sunrise or sunset. According to the garden apparatus of the present invention, by operating the fog generating device, fog accumulates inside the wall and hides the foot of the miniature model of the mountain range, as if the mountains were floating in the sea of clouds. You can create a landscape that looks like you are out.
In addition, by operating the exhaust device, the fog that has accumulated inside the wall is quickly discharged, and the skirt of the miniature model is exposed in a short period of time, changing the landscape to a landscape like a mountain with clear fog. Can be. Therefore, it is possible to make the scenery on the outbound path and the scenery on the return path of the observer completely different, and to give the observer a strange feeling.
