[0049] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] See also Figures 1-4 , an urban rainwater collection and reuse intelligent irrigation device, comprising:

[0051] The outer shell 1 is cylindrical with a hollow top and is fixed to the area to be irrigated. The inner wall of the outer shell 1 can be provided with a heat-insulating coating to prevent water loss caused by excessive external temperature.

[0052] The ring part 2 is hinged at one end to the top of the housing 1. A filter screen 3 is provided inside the ring part 2. Figure 1 It can be seen that the left end of the bottom of the ring 2 is hinged to the top of the housing 1, and the top of the filter 3 is flush with the top of the ring 2, which is used to filter the incoming rainwater;

[0053] The pump body 7 has an input end connected to the housing 1 through a pipeline, and an output end connected to a liquid drive mechanism through an input pipeline 8, and the liquid drive mechanism is connected to an irrigation nozzle 18;

[0054] A cleaning brush plate 6 is provided on the filter screen 3 and is in transmission connection with the liquid driving mechanism. The liquid driving mechanism drives the cleaning filter screen 3 to rotate. The cleaning brush plate 6 is a cleaning brush; and

[0055] The tilting and knocking mechanism is embedded in one side of the outer shell 1 and is connected to the liquid driving mechanism. The liquid driving mechanism drives the filter 3 to tilt and vibrate at the same time. The tilting and knocking mechanism specifically drives the right end of the ring 2 upward, so that the ring 2 is tilted with the left lower and the right higher. The vibration of the filter 3 can facilitate the removal of impurities cleaned by the cleaning brush plate 6 from the filter 3.

[0056] Preferably, the liquid driving mechanism of this embodiment includes:

[0057] The guide seat 9 has a water inlet end connected to the input pipe 8, and a water outlet end connected to the liquid guide cylinder 12 through a pipe. The liquid guide cylinder 12 is provided on the outer wall of the protective shell 21. The protective shell 21 plays a role in protecting the internal structure. The protective shell 21 is fixed to the outer wall of the outer shell 1;

[0058] The impeller 10 is rotatably arranged in the guide seat 9 and is driven to rotate by the water entering the guide seat 9. For example, the impeller 10 is driven to rotate clockwise. The impeller 10 is arranged at one end of a transmission rod 11. The other end of the transmission rod 11 movably penetrates the protective shell 21 and the shell 1 and is driven and connected to the rotating rod 4. The transmission rod 11 and the rotating rod 4 are connected by two sets of meshing bevel gears. The bottom end of the rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the shell 1 through a bearing. The top of the rotating rod 4 is connected to a telescopic rod through a universal coupling 5. The telescopic rod is rotatably inserted in the center of the filter screen 3 and is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush plate 6. Specifically, the fixed section of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the center of the filter screen 3 through a bearing, and its movable section is connected to the universal coupling 5. Through the telescopic rod and the universal coupling 5, the filter screen 3 can be driven to tilt by the tilting knocking mechanism. At the same time, it is ensured that when the impeller 10 rotates, the cleaning brush plate 6 is driven by the transmission rod 11, the rotating rod 4, the telescopic rod and the universal coupling 5 to rotate and rub the filter screen 3; and,

[0059] The piston 14 is movably arranged in the liquid guiding cylinder 12 and is driven to move by the water entering the liquid guiding cylinder 12. The outer diameter of the piston 14 is adapted to the inner diameter of the liquid guiding cylinder 12. The piston 14 is connected to the bottom wall of the liquid guiding cylinder 12 through an elastic member 16. The elastic member 16 is, for example, a spring, which is used to drive the piston 14 to reset downward when irrigation is stopped. The piston 14 is provided with a liquid inlet pipe 13 connected to the irrigation nozzle 18 through a bearing rotation. The top end of the liquid inlet pipe 13 movably passes through the top of the liquid guiding cylinder 12 and extends to the top of the liquid guiding cylinder 12. A water inlet connected to the liquid inlet pipe 13 is opened on the piston 14, and a solenoid valve 15 is provided in the water inlet, which is used to allow water to pass through the water inlet and then enter the liquid inlet pipe 13, and finally be sprayed out from the irrigation nozzle 18 for irrigation.

[0060] See also Figure 5 Preferably, the tilt striking mechanism of this embodiment includes:

[0061] The inner shell 22 is embedded in one side of the outer shell 1 and communicates with the inner cavity of the protective shell 21. A movable block 24 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the inner shell 22. A slider is hinged on the top of the movable block 24, and the slider is slidably connected with the slide groove at the bottom of the ring member 2. The slider and the slide groove are respectively T-shaped slider and T-shaped slide groove. When the movable block 24 moves upward, the slider moves in the slide groove, thereby tilting the ring member 2.

[0062] The connecting frame 23 has one end connected to the movable block 24 and the other end connected to the connecting seat 20. The connecting seat 20 is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat through a bearing. The fixed seat is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the liquid inlet pipe 13 and located above the liquid guide cylinder 12. When the liquid inlet pipe 13 is upward, the connecting frame 23 drives the movable block 24 to drive the filter 3 to tilt.

[0063] A linkage frame 26 is vertically inserted into the connecting frame 23. One end of the linkage frame 26 is provided with a striking ball for contacting the bottom of the ring member 2, and the other end thereof is embedded with a ball; and

[0064] Transmission rod 29 is rotatably disposed in protective shell 21. The top end of transmission rod 29 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of protective shell 21. One end of transmission rod 29 is transmission-connected to transmission rod 11. Transmission rod 29 and transmission rod 11 are transmission-connected via two sets of meshing bevel gear sets. A rotating disk 27 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of transmission rod 29 and located below connecting frame 23. An arc-shaped protrusion 28 is provided at the bottom of rotating disk 27.

[0065] When the connecting frame 23 drives the movable block 24 upward to the preset position, it also drives the linkage frame 26 upward so that the ball contacts the bottom of the rotating disk 27. The rotating disk 27 is driven by the transmission rod 29 to rotate through the arc-shaped protrusion 28 to push the ball so that the linkage frame 26 drives the knocking ball to separate from the ring member 2. A reset spring is provided on the linkage frame 26, which drives the linkage frame 26 to reset the knocking ball when the arc-shaped protrusion 28 separates from the ball. One end of the reset spring is connected to the outer wall of the linkage frame 26, and the other end is connected to the connecting frame 23.

[0066] During irrigation, the pump body 7 inputs the water in the housing 1 into the guide seat 9 to rotate the impeller 10. When the impeller 10 rotates, the rotating rod 4 and the transmission rod 2 29 are driven by the transmission rod 1 11. When the rotating rod 4 rotates, the cleaning brush plate 6 is driven to rotate the cleaning filter 3 through the universal coupling 5 and the telescopic rod. After passing through the guide seat 9, the water enters the liquid inlet pipe 13, causing the piston 14 to drive the liquid inlet pipe 13 to move upward. When the liquid inlet pipe 13 moves upward, it drives the movable block 24 to move upward through the fixed seat, the connecting seat 20 and the connecting frame 23. The movable block 2 4 causes the annular member 2 to tilt. When the connecting frame 23 moves upward, the linkage frame 26 is simultaneously driven upward, causing the ball bearing to contact the rotating disk 27. As the transmission rod 29 rotates, the rotating disk 27 is driven to cause the arc-shaped protrusion 28 to intermittently push the linkage frame 26 to move. The striking ball strikes the annular member 2, causing the annular member 2 to vibrate, thereby allowing impurities and other particles on the cleaning filter 3 to separate from the filter 3. By opening the solenoid valve 15, water can enter the liquid inlet pipe 13 through the water inlet and then be sprayed out from the irrigation nozzle 18 to irrigate the area to be irrigated.

[0067] See also Figure 6 As a preference, the outer wall of the protective shell 21 of this embodiment is provided with a bearing seat 32, and the bearing seat 32 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the liquid inlet pipe 13 without affecting the up and down movement of the liquid inlet pipe 13. The bottom of the bearing seat 32 is provided with a driving gear through a bearing rotation, and the bottom of the driving gear is embedded with a magnetic ring, and the top of the fixed seat is provided with an electromagnetic ring 19 that is energized to attract the magnetic ring. A rack 31 is engaged with one side of the driving gear, and one end of the rack 31 extends into the protective shell 21. The rack 31 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 21, and an elastic member 33 is provided at the connection between the rack 31 and the protective shell 21. The rack 31 is also engaged with a toothless gear 30. The second elastic member 33, such as a spring, is used to drive the rack 31 to move and reset when the tooth segment of the toothless gear 30 is separated from the rack 31. When the electromagnetic ring 19 is not attracted to the magnetic ring, the toothless gear 30 rotates to drive the rack 31, and the rack 31 drives the driving gear. The driving gear does not drive the liquid inlet pipe 13 to rotate. The toothless gear 30 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the second transmission rod 29 and is located in the protective shell 21. The inner wall of the liquid guide tube 12 is provided with a detection sensor 17, which is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The detection sensor 17 is, for example, a pressure sensor, such as the pressure sensor model PSD-F1, but is certainly not limited to this type;

[0068] When the piston 14 moves upward to a preset position, the detection sensor 17 contacts the piston 14 and the magnetic ring contacts the electromagnetic ring 19. The detection sensor 17 sends a signal to the control mechanism to control the electromagnetic ring 19 and the electromagnetic valve 15 to open.

[0069] In order to prevent the piston 14 from moving downward when the solenoid valve 15 is opened, when the piston 14 moves upward to the preset position, the electromagnetic ring 19 opens the attraction magnetic ring. At this time, the positions of the piston 14 and the liquid inlet pipe 13 are fixed, and then the solenoid valve 15 is opened, allowing water to enter the liquid inlet pipe 13 through the water inlet without causing the piston 14 and the liquid inlet pipe 13 to move downward. At the same time, the toothed gear 30 rotates to drive the rack 31, and the rack 31 drives the driving gear. The driving gear will drive the fixed seat to rotate relative to the connecting seat 20, thereby causing the liquid inlet pipe 13 to drive the irrigation sprinkler 18 to rotate back and forth within a certain range, thereby changing the irrigation range of the irrigation sprinkler 18.

[0070] Preferably, the irrigation nozzle 18 of this embodiment is disposed on the top of the side wall of the liquid inlet pipe 13. A protective plate 34 is attached to one side of the irrigation nozzle 18. The protective plate 34 is fixed to the outer wall of the liquid guide tube 12. The protective plate 34 closes the water outlet end of the irrigation nozzle 18 when the piston 14 does not move upward.

[0071] An elastic reset member is further provided at the connection between the liquid inlet pipe 13 and the piston 14, and the elastic reset member is, for example, a torsion spring;

[0072] When not irrigating, the water outlet end of the irrigation nozzle 18 can be closed by the protective plate 34 to prevent external dust particles from entering and causing clogging of the irrigation nozzle 18, thereby extending the service life of the device. During irrigation, the irrigation nozzle 18 moves upward with the liquid inlet pipe 13 to a preset position, and the irrigation nozzle 18 is no longer blocked by the protective plate 34 and can spray water for irrigation. Because the liquid inlet pipe 13 can rotate, in order to ensure that the irrigation nozzle 18 can be reset and stably blocked by the protective plate 34, when the irrigation is stopped and the electromagnetic ring 19 is closed, the elastic reset member drives the liquid inlet pipe 13 to rotate and reset, so that the irrigation nozzle 18 can be blocked by the protective plate 34 downward with the liquid inlet pipe 13.

[0073] Preferably, a flow sensor 35 electrically connected to the control mechanism is provided on the input pipeline 8 of this embodiment. The flow sensor 35 is used to detect the water flow rate flowing in the input pipeline 8. When the water flow rate is lower than the threshold value, the control mechanism controls the electromagnetic ring 19 to close. The flow sensor 35 is, for example, a flow sensor 35 of model SBS-HZ, but is certainly not limited to this model. When the pump body 7 is closed, the water flow rate flowing in the input pipeline 8 is lower than the threshold value, and then the electromagnetic ring 19 is closed. At this time, the piston 14 drives the liquid inlet pipe 13 to reset downward under the action of the elastic member 16. When the liquid inlet pipe 13 is reset downward, the elastic reset member drives the liquid inlet pipe 13 to rotate and reset.

[0074] Preferably, the top of the annular member 2 of this embodiment is fitted with a cover 36, and the inner wall of the cover 36 is also provided with a heat-insulating coating. One end of the bottom of the cover 36 is connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rotating device 37. The electric telescopic rotating device 37 is embedded in the annular member 2. The electric telescopic rotating device 37 includes an electric telescopic rod and a micro motor. A recess is provided at the bottom of the cover 36 to accommodate the cleaning brush plate 6. A rain sensor 25 electrically connected to the control mechanism is also provided on the cover 36. When the rain sensor 25 detects rain, the control mechanism controls the electric telescopic rotating device 37 to turn on the electric telescopic rod.
