The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0030] An outdoor environment detection rainwater collection device according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Figure 1 An outdoor environment detection rainwater collection device according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 An outdoor environment detection rainwater collection device according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The outdoor environment detection rainwater collection device according to an embodiment of the present application comprises a rainwater storage container 100, a base 200, a shunt support rod 300, a container support plate 400, and a container closure 500. The rainwater storage container 100 is composed of a bottom wall 103, an inner wall 101 and an outer wall 102 connected to both sides of the bottom wall 103. The outer wall 102 is higher than the inner wall 101. The top end of the outer wall 102 is provided with an upper edge plate 104. The gap between the inner wall 101 and the upper edge plate 104 constitutes a water inlet. The outer wall 102 is provided with a water release switch 105 near the bottom wall 103. The base 200 is detachably connected to the shunt support rod 300. The top end of the shunt support rod 300 is provided with a rainwater shunt slope surface 301. The container support plate 400 is used to support the rainwater storage container 100. The container support plate 400 is movably installed on the shunt support rod 300. An elastic support 410 is provided between the container support plate 400 and the base 200. The elastic support 410 is retractable. The container closure 500 is installed on the shunt support rod 300. The container closure 500 is provided with a closure drain hole 502 and a closure plate 503. The closure plate 503 is used to close the water inlet on the rainwater storage container 100.

[0033] According to the rainwater collecting device for outdoor environment detection, the upper surface of the rainwater storage container 100 is provided with an upper edge plate 104, so that floating objects in the air such as dust can be avoided from falling into the rainwater storage container 100 during the process of waiting for collection. When it rains, rainwater falls on the rainwater diversion slope surface 301. When the rainfall is small, the rainwater flows downward along the rainwater diversion slope surface 301 and flows out through the drainage hole 502 of the closure, which has the effect of washing the rainwater diversion slope surface 301. When the rainfall is large, the rainwater flows to the rainwater storage container 100 through the rainwater diversion slope surface 301 under the action of inertia. After a certain amount of rainwater is collected in the rainwater storage container 100, the elastic expansion and contraction member is contracted under the action of gravity, and the container support plate 400 and the rainwater storage container 100 move downward. The closure plate 503 can close the water inlet of the rainwater storage container 100, so that the collected rainwater can be prevented from being exposed. Therefore, the application has the positive effect of improving the accuracy of rainwater detection.

[0034] In an embodiment of the application, the inner wall 101 is provided with an inward protrusion, and the protrusion is provided with a second clamping groove 107 with an opening downward. The upper edge plate 104 is provided, at an end away from the outer wall 102, with a first clamping groove 106 with an opening downward.

[0035] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 2 , the outer side of the closure plate 503 is provided with a closure platform 504. When the rainwater storage container 100 moves downward to a certain position, the top end of the closure plate 503 cooperates with the first clamping groove 106, and the closure platform 504 cooperates with the second clamping groove 107.

[0036] Specifically, the first clamping groove 106 and the second clamping groove 107 are downwardly open groove structures, and the top end of the closure plate 503 that cooperates with the first clamping groove 106 is provided with a protruding structure, and the upper surface of the closure platform 504 that cooperates with the second clamping groove 107 is provided with a protruding structure. The protruding structure cooperates with the groove structure.

[0037] In an embodiment of the application, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the container closure 500 is provided with a closure mounting hole 501 for mounting the container closure 500 on the diversion support rod 300. The top end of the closure plate 503 is provided with a first closure strip 505, and the closure platform 504 is provided with a second closure strip 506.

[0038] It should be noted that the first closing strip 505 provided at the top end of the closing plate 503, and the second closing strip 506 provided on the closing platform 504, when the rainwater storage container 100 moves downward to a certain position, the first closing strip 505 is inlaid into the first clamping groove 106, and the second closing strip 506 is inlaid into the second clamping groove 107. Among them, the cross-sectional shape of the first closing strip 505 cooperates with the cross-sectional shape of the first clamping groove 106, and the cross-sectional shape of the second closing strip 506 cooperates with the cross-sectional shape of the second clamping groove 107. The cross-sectional shape can improve the sealing of the application.

[0039] Further, the cross-sectional shape of the first closing strip 505 and the second closing strip 506 can be the same.

[0040] In an embodiment of the application, the base 200 is provided with a sleeve 201, and the shunt support rod 300 is detachably installed in the sleeve 201.

[0041] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the shunt support rod 300 is connected with the sleeve 201 by screw connection, and the central position of the rainwater shunt slope surface 301 is provided with an installation auxiliary groove 302, and the cross section of the installation auxiliary groove 302 is hexagonal. The shunt support rod 300 and the sleeve 201 are connected by screw connection, which can be assisted by using a conventional hexagonal wrench, and has the characteristics of convenient, fast and labor-saving disassembly operation when replacing the rainwater storage container 100.

[0042] In an embodiment of the application, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the container support plate 400 is provided with a support plate mounting hole 401 for movably mounting the container support plate 400 on the shunt support rod 300, and a support plate drainage hole 402 is provided around the support plate mounting hole 401, and the outer side of the container support plate 400 is provided with a positioning groove 403 matched with the rainwater storage container 100.

[0043] Specifically, the support plate mounting hole 401 is provided with a support plate drainage hole 402 around it, and the rainwater flowing down from the above-mentioned closing piece drainage hole 502 can flow out from the support plate drainage hole 402. The outer side of the container support plate 400 is provided with a positioning groove 403 matched with the rainwater storage container 100. Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , when the rainwater storage container 100 is a circular ring structure, the positioning groove 403 matched with the rainwater storage container 100 also needs to be a circular ring structure. It is convenient to assemble the rainwater storage container 100 and the positioning groove 403, that is, it is convenient to replace the rainwater storage container 100.

[0044] It should be noted that the rainwater storage container 100 can be replaced or removed, and in specific use, after a certain amount of rainwater is collected in the rainwater storage container 100, the rainwater storage container 100 can be removed and taken to the laboratory to be detected by releasing the rainwater through the water release switch 105, or the entire device can be taken away. Among them, the rainwater storage container 100 is removed and taken away, and a new rainwater storage container 100 is replaced after being removed, which can avoid missing the rain time and maintain the continuity of rainwater collection in various natural environments, and has the characteristics of wide application range.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, the width of the upper edge plate 104 is greater than the width of the bottom wall 103, the inner diameter of the upper edge plate 104 is greater than the diameter of the maximum position of the rainwater diversion slope surface 301, and the inner diameter of the inner wall 101 is greater than the diameter of the maximum position of the rainwater diversion slope surface 301. During the waiting collection process, the position of the upper edge plate 104 is higher than the rainwater diversion slope surface 301 on the diversion support rod 300.

[0046] Specifically, the width of the upper edge plate 104 is greater than the width of the bottom wall 103, which can better cover the opening of the rainwater storage container 100 and avoid dust and other floating objects in the air falling into the rainwater storage container 100 and mixing with the collected rainwater during the waiting collection process. The inner diameter of the upper edge plate 104 is greater than the diameter of the maximum position of the rainwater diversion slope surface 301, which can facilitate the downward movement of the rainwater storage container 100 without obstruction. The inner diameter of the inner wall 101 is greater than the diameter of the maximum position of the rainwater diversion slope surface 301, which facilitates the downward movement of the rainwater storage container 100 without obstruction, and also allows the flushing rainwater to flow down the rainwater diversion slope surface 301.

[0047] It should be noted that during the waiting collection process, the present application is as shown in the form of Figure 1 When it rains, the initial rainfall is generally small at this time, and the rainwater will flow down the rainwater diversion slope surface 301 after falling on the rainwater diversion slope surface 301, and will flow out of the device through the drainage hole 502 of the closure and the drainage hole 402 of the support plate. The initial rainwater flowing out of the device can play a role in washing the rainwater diversion slope surface 301, further avoiding dust and other floating objects in the air falling into the rainwater storage container 100 and mixing with the collected rainwater during the waiting collection process. The rainwater diversion slope surface 301 is positioned higher than the inner wall 101 of the rainwater storage container 100, and when the rainfall is large, the rainwater can flow into the rainwater storage container 100 through the rainwater diversion slope surface 301 under the action of inertia. During the process of gradually increasing the amount of rainwater in the rainwater storage container 100, the rainwater storage container 100 gradually moves downward, making it easier for rainwater to flow into the rainwater storage container 100 through the rainwater diversion slope surface 301, until the rainwater storage container 100 moves downward to the form of Figure 2In the shown mode, the closure completely seals the opening of the rainwater storage container 100, i.e. completely seals the collected rainwater in the sealed rainwater storage container 100, so as to avoid that the collected rainwater is exposed outside and reacts with some components in the air.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the elastic support 410 can be a spring, a conventional component spring, which is advantageous to ensure the stability of the device and reduce the manufacturing cost of the device.

[0049] In summary, the rainwater collecting device for outdoor environment detection according to the embodiments of the present application can avoid that dust and other floating objects in the air fall into the rainwater storage container 100 during the waiting process and mix with the collected rainwater; the collected rainwater can be completely sealed in the sealed rainwater storage container 100, so as to avoid that the collected rainwater is exposed outside and reacts with some components in the air. Meanwhile, the rainwater collecting device for outdoor environment detection according to the embodiments of the present application has the positive characteristics of convenient use, simple operation and wide application range.
