Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of artificial landscape, and in particular to an artificial waterfall system and a building. Background Art

[0002] Artificial waterfalls are a special kind of dynamic water landscape, which uses a water pump to extract water through a pipe, and enters the water storage device located at a high position of the building from the water outlet of the pipe, and then falls to a lower position through the water storage device to form a waterfall landscape. However, when the water is extracted to a high position and enters the water storage device, it is mainly concentrated at the water outlet of the pipe, which makes the local pressure of the water in the water storage device too large, causing the water at the outlet to splash and generate a large number of bubbles. The water is unevenly distributed in the process of flowing out of the water storage device and falling to a low position, affecting the effect of the waterfall landscape. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an artificial waterfall system and a building, which can avoid the problem of uneven distribution of water in the process of falling to a low position due to excessive local pressure of water in the water storage device. The technical solution is as follows:

[0004] In a first aspect, an artificial waterfall system is provided, the artificial waterfall system comprising a water storage structure, a water pump and a first pipeline;

[0005] The water storage structure comprises a first water storage area and a second water storage area, the first water storage area and the second water storage area are connected via a plurality of overflow holes evenly distributed in the horizontal direction, and the second water storage area has a strip-shaped opening extending in the horizontal direction;

[0006] The overflow position of the overflow hole is higher than the lowest position of the first water storage area, and when the water level in the first water storage area is higher than the overflow position of the overflow hole, the water in the first water storage area flows out from the overflow hole, and the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening is higher than the lowest position of the second water storage area, and when the water level in the second water storage area is higher than the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening, the water in the second water storage area flows out from the strip-shaped opening;

[0007] The water pumping end is connected to the water source, and the water outlet end is connected to the first water storage area through the first pipeline.

[0008] In a possible implementation, the water storage structure also has a diversion area, the second water storage area is connected to the diversion area through the strip-shaped opening, the diversion area has a horizontal area, and the horizontal area has a plurality of evenly distributed atomization holes, wherein the water in the diversion area flows out from the atomization holes.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the guide area further has an inclined area, the water flowing out of the strip-shaped opening falls on a high position of the inclined area, and the horizontal area is connected to the lowest point of the inclined area.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the height difference between the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening and the highest position of the inclined area is between 135 mm and 185 mm, the inclination angle of the inclined area is between 40° and 50°, and the height difference between the highest position and the lowest position of the inclined area is between 75 mm and 125 mm.

[0011] In a possible implementation manner, the guide area is strip-shaped and parallel to the strip-shaped opening.

[0012] In a possible implementation manner, a line connecting the centers of the plurality of atomization holes is parallel to the strip-shaped through opening.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the water inlet of the first pipe is connected to the water pump, the water outlet is connected to the first water storage area, and the water outlet is oriented toward a position that is offset from the overflow hole.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the water inlet of the first pipe is connected to the water pump, the water outlet is connected to the first water storage area, and the highest position of the water outlet is lower than the lowest position of the overflow hole.

[0015] In a possible implementation manner, the lowest position of the overflow hole is higher than the lowest position of the strip-shaped through opening.

[0016] In a second aspect, a building is provided, comprising any one of the artificial waterfall systems described in the first aspect.

[0017] In the scheme shown in the present disclosure, the water pump draws water into the first water storage area through the first pipe. Since the overflow position of the overflow hole is higher than the lowest position of the first water storage area, water will gradually accumulate in the first water storage area. In this process, the water supply pressure is relatively dispersed throughout the first water storage area, the water supply pressure decreases, and the bubbles disappear. As the water level in the first water storage area gradually rises as a whole, since the overflow holes are evenly distributed in the horizontal direction, the water level in the first water storage area will simultaneously exceed the overflow positions of all the overflow holes, and the water will flow evenly from the overflow holes to various positions in the second water storage area, and since the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening is higher than the lowest position of the second water storage area, the water flowing into the second water storage area will also gradually accumulate, and the pressure of the water at various locations in the second water storage area is relatively evenly distributed throughout the second water storage area. Then, since the strip opening extends horizontally, as the water level in the second water storage area exceeds the overflow position of the strip opening, the water in the second water storage area will flow out simultaneously in the direction in which the strip opening extends, so that the water flowing out of the strip opening and falling to a low position can be evenly distributed.

[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This embodiment relates to an artificial waterfall system, such as Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the artificial waterfall system. Figure 2 The figure shows the split structure diagram of the artificial waterfall system. Figure 3 The structure diagram of the artificial waterfall system without the cover plate 13 is shown. Figure 4 The figure shows a cross-sectional structure diagram of an artificial waterfall system. Figure 5 The figure shows a cross-sectional structure diagram of another artificial waterfall system. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the separator 15, Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the structure of the strip-shaped through hole 121.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 Combined with Figure 4 As shown, the artificial waterfall system in this embodiment includes a water storage structure 1, a water pump 2 and a first pipeline 3. The water storage structure 1 is a container for storing water, which can be a box body that is processed and manufactured separately, for example, it can be a plastic box body or a metal box body that can be used to hold water. The water storage structure 1 can be a structure composed of multiple separate structural parts connected together by welding or bolts, or it can be an integrally formed structural part. The water storage structure 1 can also be a pool or a trough opened at a high position in a building, for example, it can be a pool opened on the roof of a house or a trough opened on the hillside of a rockery, etc. This embodiment does not give examples of the types of the water storage structure 1.

[0031] Continue to refer Figure 1As shown, the water storage structure 1 has a first water storage area 11 and a second water storage area 12. The first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12 are connected through a plurality of overflow holes 111 evenly distributed in the horizontal direction. The second water storage area 12 has a strip-shaped opening 121 extending in the horizontal direction. The overflow position of the overflow hole 111 is higher than the lowest position of the first water storage area 11, and when the water level in the first water storage area 11 is higher than the overflow position of the overflow hole 111, the water in the first water storage area 11 flows out from the overflow hole 111, the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening 121 is higher than the lowest position of the second water storage area 12, and when the water level in the second water storage area 12 is higher than the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening 121, the water in the second water storage area 12 flows out from the strip-shaped opening 121. The water pumping end of the water pump 2 is connected to the water source, and the water outlet end is connected to the first water storage area 11 through the first pipe 3.

[0032] Among them, the water pump 2 can use frequency conversion control to save energy, and the water pump head can be selected according to the height of the building and the pipeline loss. The frequency conversion control method of the water pump 2 and the selection of the water pump 2 head are existing technologies and are not used as examples in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0033] As described above, the water pump 2 draws water into the first water storage area 11 through the first pipe 3. Since the overflow position of the overflow hole 111 is higher than the lowest position of the first water storage area 11, water will gradually accumulate in the first water storage area 11. During this process, the water supply pressure is more evenly dispersed throughout the entire first water storage area 11, the water supply pressure decreases, and the bubbles disappear.

[0034] As the water level in the first water storage area 11 gradually rises as a whole, since the overflow holes 111 are evenly distributed in the horizontal direction, the water level in the first water storage area 11 will simultaneously exceed the overflow positions of all the overflow holes 111, and the water will flow evenly from the overflow holes 111 to various positions in the second water storage area 12, and since the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening 121 is higher than the lowest position of the second water storage area 12, the water flowing into the second water storage area 121 will also gradually accumulate, and the water pressure at various locations in the second water storage area 12 is relatively evenly distributed throughout the second water storage area 12.

[0035] Then, since the strip opening 121 extends in the horizontal direction, as the water level in the second water storage area 12 exceeds the overflow position of the strip opening 121, the water in the second water storage area 12 will flow out simultaneously in the direction in which the strip opening 121 extends, so that the water flowing out of the strip opening 121 and falling to a low position can be evenly distributed, thereby improving the waterfall effect.

[0036] In one example, the water storage structure 1 also has a guide area 14, the second water storage area 12 is connected to the guide area 14 through a strip-shaped opening 121, the guide area 14 has a horizontal area 142, and the horizontal area 142 has a plurality of evenly distributed atomization holes 141, wherein the water in the guide area 14 flows out from the atomization holes 141.

[0037] In this way, the water flowing out of the strip-shaped opening 121 can evenly enter the horizontal area 142 in the guide area 14, and then converge to the multiple atomization holes 141 evenly distributed in the horizontal area 142, and fall to a low position along the atomization holes 141. Due to the guidance of the water by the atomization holes 141, the water falling to a low position can form a uniform waterfall effect.

[0038] In one example, in order to allow the water flowing out of the strip-shaped opening 121 to flow into the diversion area 14, the strip-shaped opening 121 may be located directly above the diversion area 14. For example, the strip-shaped opening 121 may be located directly above the horizontal area 142, and the water flowing out of the strip-shaped opening 121 may directly fall into the horizontal area 142. For another example, the strip-shaped opening 121 may be located directly above other areas of the diversion area 14, and the horizontal area 142 is located at the lowest position of the diversion area 14, and the water flowing out of the strip-shaped opening 12 first falls into other areas of the diversion area 14, and then converges into the horizontal area 142.

[0039] In one example, in order to facilitate water to flow out of the atomization hole 141, the atomization hole 141 is a hole that penetrates vertically in the horizontal area 142. For example, the atomization hole 141 can be a vertically penetrating hole or a slanted penetrating hole.

[0040] The atomization hole 141 may be a rectangular hole, a circular hole, or a square hole. For example, the atomization hole 141 may be a rectangular hole of 2 mm×10 mm, a circular hole with a diameter of 5 mm, or a square hole of 4 mm×4 mm.

[0041] In one example, the guide area 14 also has an inclined area 143, and the water flowing out of the strip-shaped opening 121 falls at the high position of the inclined area 143, and the horizontal area 142 is connected to the lowest point of the inclined area 143. For example, the highest position of the inclined area 143 is located directly below the strip-shaped opening 121, and for another example, the middle of the inclined area 143 is located directly below the strip-shaped opening 121. The inclined area 143 can be an inclined guide plate located below the strip-shaped opening 121, and the lowest position of the guide plate is connected to a horizontal plate as the horizontal area 142, and a plurality of vertical holes are evenly opened on the horizontal plate as the atomization holes 141.

[0042] In this way, the water entering the diversion area 14 from the second water storage area 12 will first fall on the inclined area 143 to be buffered, and then flow from the inclined area 143 to the horizontal area 142, which can avoid the water reaching the horizontal area 142 from splashing and causing uneven water flow and bubbles, thereby avoiding affecting the uniform outflow of water from multiple atomization holes 141.

[0043] In one example, the height difference between the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening 121 and the highest position of the inclined area 143 is between 135 mm and 185 mm, the inclination angle of the inclined area 143 is between 40° and 50°, and the height difference between the highest position and the lowest position of the inclined area 143 is between 75 mm and 125 mm.

[0044] For example, the height difference between the overflow position of the strip opening 121 and the highest position of the inclined area 143 can be 145 mm, 153 mm, or 170 mm. The inclination angle of the inclined area 143 can be 43°, 45°, or 48°. The height difference between the highest position and the lowest position of the inclined area 143 can be 82 mm, 95 mm, or 108 mm. For example, the highest position of the inclined area 143 is located directly below the strip opening 121, so that the water flowing out of the strip opening 121 falls at the highest position of the inclined area 143, the height difference between the overflow position of the strip opening 121 and the highest position of the inclined area 143 is 160 mm, the inclination angle of the inclined area 143 is 45°, and the height difference between the highest position and the lowest position of the inclined area 143 is 100 mm.

[0045] In this way, there is a certain height difference between the overflow position of the strip-shaped through hole 121 and the highest position of the inclined area 143, and between the highest position and the lowest position of the inclined area 143, so that the water flowing out from the strip-shaped through hole 121 and converging into the horizontal area 142 connected to the lowest position of the inclined area 143 has a certain kinetic energy, so that the water can flow out more easily from the atomization hole 141 with a smaller diameter, the atomization hole 141 is not easy to be blocked, and the water flowing out therefrom is more continuous.

[0046] Since the maximum value of the height difference between the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening 121 and the highest position of the inclined area 143 is limited, no splashing occurs when water flows from the strip-shaped opening 121 to the inclined area 143 .

[0047] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the inclined area 143 is between 40° and 50°, so that water can flow more evenly along the inclined area 143, and since the height difference between the highest position and the lowest position of the inclined area 143 is between 75mm and 125mm, excessive kinetic energy will not be added to generate bubbles when converging in the horizontal area 142.

[0048] In one example, the guide area 14 is strip-shaped and parallel to the strip-shaped opening 121. For example, the strip-shaped opening 121 is curved, and the guide area 14 is also curved. The strip-shaped opening 121 is straight, and the guide area 14 is also straight. In this way, the path of water flowing from the strip-shaped opening 121 to the horizontal area 142 in the guide area 14 is consistent, ensuring that the water in the horizontal area 142 can evenly enter the atomizing hole 141 and the water flowing out of the atomizing hole 141 falls evenly.

[0049] In one example, the line connecting the centers of the atomizing holes 141 is parallel to the strip opening 121. For example, the strip opening 121 is curved, and the line connecting the centers of the atomizing holes 141 is also curved. The strip opening 121 is straight, and the line connecting the centers of the atomizing holes 141 is also straight. In this way, the distance from the strip opening 121 to each atomizing hole 141 is consistent, further ensuring that the water in the horizontal area 142 can uniformly enter the atomizing hole 141 and the water flowing out of the atomizing hole 141 falls uniformly.

[0050] In one example, the water inlet of the pipe 3 is connected to the water pump 2, the water outlet 31 is connected to the first water storage area 11, and the water outlet 31 is oriented to a position offset from the overflow hole 111, so that water entering the first water storage area 11 from the water outlet 31 will not directly rush into the overflow hole 111, but can only flow out of the first water storage area 11 from the overflow hole 111 after being buffered as the water level rises. This can further reduce the influence of the water rushing out of the water outlet 31 on the kinetic energy of the water flowing out of the overflow hole 111, thereby avoiding uneven water flowing out of each overflow hole 111.

[0051] In one example, the water inlet of the pipe 3 is connected to the water pump 2, the water outlet 31 is connected to the first water storage area 11, and the highest position of the water outlet 31 is lower than the lowest position of the overflow hole 111, so that the water entering the first water storage area 11 from the water outlet 31 will not directly rush into the overflow hole 111, but can only flow out of the first water storage area 11 from the overflow hole 111 after being buffered as the water level rises. This can further reduce the influence of the water rushing out of the water outlet 31 on the kinetic energy of the water flowing out of the overflow hole 111, thereby avoiding uneven water flowing out of each overflow hole 111.

[0052] In one example, the lowest position of the overflow hole 111 is higher than the lowest position of the strip-shaped opening 121. In this way, it is possible to prevent the water in the second water storage area 12 from exceeding the water in the first water storage area 11, so that the water in the second water storage area 12 flows back into the first water storage area 11 or becomes one with the water in the first water storage area 11, causing the second water storage area 12 to fail or its function to be reduced.

[0053] In one example, the water storage area formed by the first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12 in the water storage structure 1 can be closed or open. For example, the first water storage area 11 is open, while the second water storage area 12 is closed. For another example, the first water storage area 11 is closed, while the second water storage area 12 is open. For another example, Figure 1 As shown, the first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12 are both open at the top.

[0054] In one example, in order to separate the first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12, the artificial waterfall system includes a partition 15 located in the middle of the water storage area of ​​the water storage structure 1, and the first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12 are separated in the water storage area by the partition 15, and a plurality of overflow holes 111 are evenly distributed on the partition 15 in the horizontal direction. Figure 1 As shown, the partition 15 can be a partition with a trapezoidal cross section or a partition with a rectangular cross section. Figure 4 Take a partition with a rectangular middle cross section as an example.

[0055] In one example, the partition 15 may be inclined. For example, the partition 15 may be inclined toward the first water storage area 11 or toward the second water storage area 12; Figure 4 The partition 15 is arranged vertically. Figure 4 The vertically arranged partitions shown are taken as an example.

[0056] In one example, the partition 15 and the water storage structure 1 can be integrated, for example, they can be an integrally formed box structure, or they can both be part of a building; or they can be two separate structural members fixed together by welding, screws, or clamping. This embodiment does not limit the specific connection method between the partition 15 and the water storage structure 1, as long as the partition 15 can be firmly fixed on the water storage structure 1.

[0057] In one example, the overflow hole 111 may be circular or may be shaped as follows: Figure 6 The overflow hole 111 is a rectangle with one side horizontally arranged. Figure 6 Take the rectangle shown as an example.

[0058] Compared with the circular shape, the lower side surface of the rectangular overflow hole 111 as the overflow position is horizontal, so the overflow from the rectangular overflow hole 111 is more uniform.

[0059] In one example, in order to facilitate cleaning of the first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12, Figure 1 The first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12 are both open at the top as an example. In order to prevent debris from falling into the first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12, the artificial waterfall system further includes a cover body 13 disposed on the first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12.

[0060] In this way, it is possible to prevent debris from falling into the first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12. At the same time, the cover 13 can be opened at regular intervals to clean the first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12, thereby preventing the water flowing out of the first water storage area 11 and the second water storage area 12 from becoming poor in quality or containing water-insoluble impurities due to long-term use, which makes the atomization holes 141 with smaller apertures easily blocked.

[0061] In one example, the second water storage area 12 and the guide area 14 are separated by the flow equalizing plate 16, the strip-shaped through hole 121 is arranged on the flow equalizing plate 16, the multiple overflow holes 111 are arranged on the top of the separator 15, and the strip-shaped through holes 121 are arranged on the top of the flow equalizing plate 16, so that the upper sides of the multiple overflow holes 111 and the strip-shaped through holes 121 are all open. In this way, it can be easily processed without affecting its function.

[0062] In one example, the highest position of the guide plate as the inclined area 143 is connected to the side of the bottom of the flow equalizing plate 16 away from the second water storage area 12, and the horizontal plate as the horizontal area 142 extends from the lowest position of the guide plate to the side away from the flow equalizing plate 16.

[0063] In one example, since water has a large kinetic energy when rushing out from the water outlet 31 of the first pipe 3, the partition 15 is arranged in the water storage structure 1 at a position directly opposite to the water outlet 31. In this way, the water rushing out from the water outlet 31 impacts the partition 15 and consumes a large amount of kinetic energy, achieving the purpose of buffering the water, so that the water supply pressure is greatly reduced.

[0064] In one example, since the water rushing out from the water outlet 31 impacts the partition 15, the partition 15 is subjected to a large amount of force from the first water storage area toward the second water storage area 12. Therefore, the artificial waterfall system also includes a plurality of ribs 4 arranged on the side of the partition 15 facing the second water storage area 12. The partition 15 is supported by the ribs 4, thereby increasing the bearing capacity of the partition 15 and improving its service life.

[0065] In one example, the rib 4 can be Figure 1As shown, it is installed at the bottom of the partition 15 and connected to the bottom of the second water storage area 12.

[0066] In one example, the rib 4 can also be Figure 3 As shown, the rib plate 4 is arranged on the cover plate 13. When the cover plate 13 is arranged on the first water storage area and the second water storage area 12, the rib plate 4 is located on the top of the partition 15 facing the second water storage area 12 and abuts against the partition 15. Compared with the previous example, the rib plate 4 is connected to the cover plate 13 and can be removed together with the cover plate 13. In this way, when the second water storage area 12 needs to be cleaned, the rib plate 4 will not interfere, so it is convenient to clean.

[0067] In one example, the artificial waterfall system further includes a water collecting pool 5 disposed at a low position, and the water collecting pool 5 is used to receive water flowing out of the atomization hole 141. For example, the water collecting pool 5 is located directly below the atomization hole 141. The pumping end of the water pump 2 is connected to the water collecting pool 5. For example, the water pump 2 is a submersible pump disposed in the water collecting pool 5. For another example, the pumping end of the water pump 2 is connected to the water collecting pool 5 through a second pipe. In this way, water can be recycled.

[0068] In one example, a liquid level sensor is provided in the water collection pool 5, and the liquid level sensor and the water pump 2 are both connected to the controller signal. When the liquid level sensor detects that the water level in the water collection pool 5 is lower than a specified height, a signal indicating that the water level is too low is sent to the controller, and the controller sends a command to the water pump to stop running.

[0069] In this way, on the one hand, water can be prevented from overflowing the water collection tank 5, and on the other hand, the water pump 2 can be shut down when the water level in the water collection tank 5 is too low, thereby preventing the water pump 2 from dry pumping when there is no water in the water collection tank 5, causing damage to the water pump 2.

[0070] In one example, a backflow preventer is provided in the first pipe 3, thereby preventing water from a high place from flowing back.

[0071] In one example, a bottom valve is provided at the pumping end of the water pump 2 and a filter is installed, thereby preventing impurities in the water, such as plastic bags, mops, garbage, etc., from clogging the pumping end.

[0072] In one example, wall washers 6 of the same length are installed on the bottom outer wall of the horizontal area 142 to beautify the waterfall effect.

[0073] In the disclosed embodiment, the water pump 2 draws water into the first water storage area 11 through the first pipe 3. Since the overflow position of the overflow hole 111 is higher than the lowest position of the first water storage area 11, water will gradually accumulate in the first water storage area 11. In this process, the water supply pressure is relatively dispersed throughout the entire first water storage area 11, the water supply pressure decreases, and the bubbles disappear. As the water level in the first water storage area 11 gradually rises as a whole, since each overflow hole 111 is evenly distributed in the horizontal direction, the water level in the first water storage area 11 will simultaneously exceed the overflow position of all overflow holes 111, and the water will flow evenly from each overflow hole 111 to each position in the second water storage area 12. Moreover, since the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening 121 is higher than the lowest position of the second water storage area 12, the water flowing into the second water storage area 121 will also gradually accumulate, and the pressure of the water at each location in the second water storage area 12 is relatively evenly distributed throughout the second water storage area 12. Then, since the strip opening 121 extends in the horizontal direction, as the water level in the second water storage area 12 exceeds the overflow position of the strip opening 121, the water in the second water storage area 12 will flow out simultaneously in the direction in which the strip opening 121 extends, so that the water flowing out of the strip opening 121 and falling to a low position can be evenly distributed.

[0074] The disclosed embodiment also provides a building, which includes any one of the artificial waterfall systems described above, wherein the water storage structure 1 is located at a high position of the building, for example, the water storage structure 1 is located at the top of the building or at the waist of the building.

[0075] In the disclosed embodiment, the water pump 2 draws water into the first water storage area 11 through the first pipe 3. Since the overflow position of the overflow hole 111 is higher than the lowest position of the first water storage area 11, water will gradually accumulate in the first water storage area 11. In this process, the water supply pressure is relatively dispersed throughout the entire first water storage area 11, the water supply pressure decreases, and the bubbles disappear. As the water level in the first water storage area 11 gradually rises as a whole, since each overflow hole 111 is evenly distributed in the horizontal direction, the water level in the first water storage area 11 will simultaneously exceed the overflow position of all overflow holes 111, and the water will flow evenly from each overflow hole 111 to each position in the second water storage area 12. Moreover, since the overflow position of the strip-shaped opening 121 is higher than the lowest position of the second water storage area 12, the water flowing into the second water storage area 121 will also gradually accumulate, and the pressure of the water at each location in the second water storage area 12 is relatively evenly distributed throughout the second water storage area 12. Then, since the strip opening 121 extends in the horizontal direction, as the water level in the second water storage area 12 exceeds the overflow position of the strip opening 121, the water in the second water storage area 12 will flow out simultaneously in the direction in which the strip opening 121 extends, so that the water flowing out of the strip opening 121 and falling to a low position can be evenly distributed.
