Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of architectural design, and particularly to an outdoor roof rainwater collection mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The outdoor roof rainwater collection mechanism is a technology developed based on the effective utilization of rainwater resources and environmental protection requirements. In the urban environment, the roof of a building is an ideal place for rainwater collection. The collected rainwater is relatively clean with fewer impurities. This technology installs a collection device on the roof to introduce rainwater into a water storage device. After simple filtration treatment, it can be used for people's daily use. This collection method can not only effectively reduce the urban drainage pressure but also make full use of rainwater resources to achieve the sustainable utilization of water resources. With the enhancement of environmental awareness and the increasingly serious problem of water resource shortage, the application of outdoor roof rainwater collection mechanisms is becoming more and more extensive and has become an important part of the concept of green buildings and sustainable development.

[0003] In the actual use process of existing devices, when the rainwater on the roof in the initial stage of rain falls along the eaves, it will carry dust and other dirt on the roof and fall together. Therefore, it is very easy to collect rainwater with heavy pollution in the initial stage of rainwater collection. The mixing of this rainwater with the subsequently collected rainwater will reduce the quality of the collected rainwater. Therefore, an outdoor roof rainwater collection mechanism is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the defect in the prior art that when the rainwater on the roof in the initial stage of rain falls along the eaves, it will carry dust and other dirt on the roof and fall together. Therefore, it is very easy to collect rainwater with heavy pollution in the initial stage of rainwater collection, and the mixing of this rainwater with the subsequently collected rainwater will reduce the quality of the collected rainwater, and to propose an outdoor roof rainwater collection mechanism.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] Outdoor roof rainwater collection mechanism, including a house, symmetrically and fixedly connected with filter boxes on both sides of the house, a filter plate is fixedly connected to the side of the filter box close to the house, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter box, adjustment shells are fixedly connected to both ends of the filter box, a second motor is arranged inside the adjustment shell, a worm is arranged at the output end of the second motor, the worm is meshed and connected with a worm gear, the worm gear is rotationally connected with the adjustment shell, a seventh gear is fixedly connected to the side of the worm gear away from the adjustment shell, the seventh gear is meshed and connected with a transmission rack, a piston is fixedly connected to the lower part of the transmission rack, the piston is slidably connected with the drain pipe, a rotating shell is fixedly connected to the lower part of the piston, a first motor is arranged inside the rotating shell, a fifth gear is arranged at the output end of the first motor, the fifth gear is meshed and connected with a sixth gear, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lower part of the sixth gear, a movable baffle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod, and a fixed baffle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drain pipe.

[0007] In the initial stage of rain, rainwater is filtered by the filter plate on the filter box and flows into the interior of the filter box. When the filter box is filled with rainwater, the second motor is started, and the seventh gear is driven to rotate by the second motor. The rotation of the seventh gear drives the engaged transmission rack to move, thereby driving the piston to move upward, releasing the connection with the drain pipe. The rainwater inside the filter box enters the drain pipe. Then the first motor is started, and the sixth gear is driven to rotate by the first motor, thereby driving the telescopic rod and the movable baffle at the bottom of the telescopic rod to rotate. By rotating the movable baffle, an opening appears at the bottom of the drain pipe, so as to discard the highly polluted rainwater collected in the initial stage. There are three filter plates, and the movable baffle and the fixed baffle have the same structure. When the movable baffle and the fixed baffle are vertically arranged, the movable baffle and the fixed baffle can seal the bottom of the drain pipe, and the rotation of the movable baffle can open the opening at the bottom of the drain pipe.

[0008] The above technical solution further includes:

[0009] A limiting groove is fixedly connected inside the adjustment shell, and the transmission rack is slidably connected inside the limiting groove.

[0010] The bottom of the movable baffle is rotationally connected with the fixed baffle.

[0011] A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the lower part of the drain pipe, and a collection box is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe away from the drain pipe.

[0012] A liquid extraction pipe is fixedly connected to the upper part of the collection box, and a sealing cover is threadedly connected to the upper part of the liquid extraction pipe.

[0013] A turbine is rotationally connected inside the filter box, a cleaning mechanism is arranged above the turbine, and the number of both the turbine and the cleaning mechanism is three.

[0014] The cleaning mechanism includes a first gear fixedly connected to the upper part of the turbine. The first gear is meshed with a second gear, and the second gear is rotatably connected to the cleaning housing. The bottom of the cleaning housing is fixedly connected to a filter box.

[0015] On one side of the second gear close to the cleaning housing, a fourth gear is fixedly connected. The fourth gear is meshed with a gear groove, and the gear groove is slidably connected to the cleaning housing.

[0016] The lower part of the gear groove is meshed with a third gear. The third gear is rotatably connected to the cleaning housing. The third gear is fixedly connected with a connecting piece, and the lower part of the connecting piece is fixedly connected with a cleaning plate.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. In the present invention, in the initial stage of rain, the highly polluted rainwater carrying dirt such as dust on the roof of the house can enter the interior of the filter box through the filter plate. When the interior of the filter box is full, by starting the second motor inside the adjustment housing, the transmission rack can be driven to move. The movement of the transmission rack can drive the piston to move upward, thereby removing the blockage of the top of the drain pipe, and the rainwater can enter the interior of the drain pipe. Then, by starting the first motor, the telescopic rod can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the telescopic rod can drive the movable baffle arranged at the bottom to rotate, thereby opening the bottom of the drain pipe, and discharging the highly polluted rainwater through the bottom of the drain pipe. After the drain pipe discharges the water, the movable baffle is rotated again to be perpendicular to the fixed baffle, thereby sealing the bottom of the drain pipe, so that the subsequent rainwater can flow into the collection box through the connecting pipe for collection, effectively preventing the highly polluted rainwater in the initial stage of rain from entering the collection box and polluting the quality of the collected rainwater.

[0019] 2. In the present invention, the rainwater enters the interior of the filter box through the filter plate. When the rainwater flows into the filter box, it can drive the turbine inside the filter box to rotate. The rotation of the turbine can drive the cleaning mechanism to start. The cleaning mechanism can drive the cleaning plate arranged on the surface of the filter plate to swing, thereby cleaning large-volume impurities such as leaves mixed in the rainwater and filtering the rainwater.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] As Figures 1 - 7As shown in the figure, an outdoor roof rainwater collection mechanism includes a house 1. On both sides of the house 1, there are symmetrically fixed filter boxes 2. On the side of the filter box 2 close to the house 1, there is a fixed filter plate 3. At the bottom of the filter box 2, there is a fixed drain pipe 6. At both ends of the drain pipe 6, there are fixed adjustment shells 5. Inside the adjustment shell 5, there is a second motor 28. At the output end of the second motor 28, there is a worm 29. The worm 29 is meshed with a worm wheel 30. The worm wheel 30 is rotationally connected to the adjustment shell 5. On the side of the worm wheel 30 away from the adjustment shell 5, there is a fixed seventh gear 31. The seventh gear 31 is meshed with a transmission rack 19. At the lower part of the transmission rack 19, there is a fixed piston 20. The piston 20 is slidably connected to the drain pipe 6. At the lower part of the piston 20, there is a rotating shell 21. Inside the rotating shell 21, there is a first motor 25. At the output end of the first motor 25, there is a fifth gear 26. The fifth gear 26 is meshed with a sixth gear 27. At the lower part of the sixth gear 27, there is a telescopic rod 22. At the bottom of the telescopic rod 22, there is a movable baffle 23. At the bottom of the drain pipe 6, there is a fixed baffle 24.

[0031] In the initial stage of rain, the rainwater is filtered by the filter plate 3 on the filter box 2 and flows into the inside of the filter box 2. When the filter box 2 is filled with rainwater, the second motor 28 is started. The second motor 28 drives the worm 29 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 29 drives the meshed worm wheel 30 to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 30 can drive the fixed seventh gear 31 to rotate. The rotation of the seventh gear 31 drives the meshed transmission rack 19 to move, thereby driving the piston 20 to move upward, releasing the connection with the drain pipe 6. The rainwater inside the filter box 2 enters the drain pipe 6. Then, the first motor 25 is started. The first motor 25 drives the fifth gear 26 to rotate. The rotation of the fifth gear 26 drives the meshed sixth gear 27 to rotate. The rotation of the sixth gear 27 can drive the telescopic rod 22 to rotate. The rotation of the telescopic rod 22 can drive the movable baffle 23 arranged at the bottom to rotate, thereby opening the bottom of the drain pipe 6 and discharging the highly polluted rainwater collected in the initial stage. There are three filter plates 3. The movable baffle 23 and the fixed baffle 24 have the same structure. When the movable baffle 23 and the fixed baffle 24 are perpendicularly arranged, the movable baffle 23 and the fixed baffle 24 can seal the bottom of the drain pipe 6, and the rotation of the movable baffle 23 can open the opening at the bottom of the drain pipe 6.

[0033] In this embodiment, in the initial stage of rain, the highly polluted rainwater carrying dirt such as dust on the top of the house 1 can enter the interior of the filter box 2 through the filter plate 3. When the interior of the filter box 2 is full, by starting the second motor 28 inside the adjustment housing 5, the worm 29 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the worm 29 drives the meshing-connected worm wheel 30 to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 30 drives the fixedly-connected seventh gear 31 to rotate. The rotation of the seventh gear 31 drives the meshing-connected transmission rack 19 to move. The limiting groove 32 slidably connected during the movement of the transmission rack 19 can ensure the stability of the transmission rack 19 during movement. The movement of the transmission rack 19 can drive the piston 20 to move upward, thereby removing the blockage of the top of the drain pipe 6, and the rainwater can enter the interior of the drain pipe 6. Then, by starting the first motor 25, the fifth gear 26 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the fifth gear 26 drives the meshing-connected sixth gear 27 to rotate. The rotation of the sixth gear 27 can drive the telescopic rod 22 to rotate. The rotation of the telescopic rod 22 can drive the movable baffle 23 arranged at the bottom to rotate, thereby opening the bottom of the drain pipe 6 and discharging the highly polluted rainwater through the bottom of the drain pipe 6. When all the rainwater in the filter box 2 is drained, the movable baffle 23 is rotated again to be perpendicular to the fixed baffle 24, thereby sealing the bottom of the drain pipe 6, so that the subsequent rainwater can flow into the collection box 8 through the connecting pipe 7 for collection, effectively avoiding the entry of highly polluted rainwater in the initial stage of rain into the collection box 8 and polluting the quality of the collected rainwater. A liquid extraction pipe 9 is arranged at the top of the collection box 8. A sealing cover 10 is threadedly connected to the upper part of the liquid extraction pipe 9. The collection box 8 can be sealed through the sealing cover 10. When the rainwater inside the collection box 8 needs to be used, after opening the sealing cover 10, the rainwater inside the collection box 8 can be extracted through the liquid extraction pipe 9.
