Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rainwater harvesters, and particularly to a rainwater harvester for flood prevention in garden design and its collection method. Background Technology

[0002] A rainwater harvester is a device used to collect rainwater, usually made of waterproof materials such as plastic or metal. It is designed to capture rainwater from rooftops or open ground and guide it through a piping system to a storage container. This device can help reduce runoff, conserve water resources, and provide a sustainable water source for outdoor irrigation or other uses.

[0003] Existing rainwater harvesters have some limitations, especially in terms of capacity expansion and water purification. First, their structural design often limits capacity increases; if storage space needs to be expanded, the entire device needs to be replaced. Second, basic rainwater harvesters may not integrate an effective purification system, meaning that the collected water may not meet the standards for direct use and requires additional filtration or treatment steps. These limitations make rainwater harvesters less flexible and efficient in practical applications, and unable to meet the growing needs of water resource management. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a rainwater collector for flood prevention in garden design and its collection method, which can effectively solve the technical problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A garden design rainwater collector includes a base with a water collection mechanism on top. The water collection mechanism includes a housing with a water pipe slidably connected to the bottom of the housing. One end of a quick connector is fixedly connected to one side of the water pipe. Pins are fixedly connected to both the bottom and top of the housing. Two springs are fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the housing, with sliders fixedly connected to one end of each spring. Similarly, two springs are fixedly connected to the inner top of the housing, with sliders fixedly connected to one end of each spring. Limit blocks are fixedly connected to the edge of the top of the housing, with a knob slidably connected to the outer side of the limit blocks. Rotary arms are fixedly connected to both sides of the knob. The bottom of the knob is fixedly connected to the top of a second spring, and the bottom of the second spring is movably connected to the housing. The outer side of the rotating arms is slidably connected to the housing.

[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention, two conduits are fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell, and a sedimentation tank is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two conduits. The bottom of the conduits is fixedly connected to the outer side of the filter screen, and the inner side of the filter screen is fixedly connected to the middle of the sedimentation tank.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the sedimentation tank is cylindrical in shape, and a cylindrical protrusion is provided on the bottom inner side of the sedimentation tank, and the top of the cylindrical protrusion is connected to the filter screen through two rod-shaped protrusions.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the front part of the base has a groove extending to the rear part, and the top of the base has a funnel-shaped groove.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the top of the outer shell has two large circular holes, and the bottom of the outer shell also has two large circular holes, and the diameter of the large circular holes at the top and bottom of the outer shell is the same.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a circular hole is provided on one side of the base, extending to the other side, and two circular holes are provided on both sides of the top of the base.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention, one end of the pin is provided with a frustum-shaped protrusion, and the top and bottom of the outer casing are provided with circular holes, the diameter of which matches the maximum diameter of the pin.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the top of the knob has a circular hole extending to the bottom, and the limiting block is in the shape of a semi-cylinder.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the rotating arm is strip-shaped, and a cylindrical protrusion is provided at the top of one end of the rotating arm. A semi-circular groove is opened on the edge of the top of the outer shell, and an annular groove is opened on the inner wall of the groove. Two tubular protrusions are provided at the top of the water pipe, and the outer diameter of the two tubular protrusions matches the diameter of the large circular hole of the outer shell.

[0015] A method for collecting rainwater using a flood control rainwater collector in landscape design, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: Place the base on a flat surface with the protrusion at the top of the water pipe facing upwards. Align the two large round holes at the bottom of the outer casing with the protrusion of the water pipe, insert the protrusion of the water pipe into the large round holes at the bottom of the outer casing, and press the outer casing so that its bottom fits snugly against the top of the base.

[0017] Step 2: Take two devices and align one side of the water pipe with one side of the quick connector. Bring the two bases close together so that the water pipe connects with the quick connector. The two bases will move the connected housings synchronously until the two housings fit together. The two limiting blocks on the fitted side of the two housings form a complete cylinder. Pass the inner side of the knob and spring two through the cylinder formed by the two limiting blocks. Press the knob to make it move the rotating arm down together. After it moves to the bottom, turn the knob to make the rotating arm rotate together. After the rotating arm rotates 90 degrees, it reaches its maximum stroke. Then release the knob. Spring two will push up the knob and the rotating arm. After the rotating arm moves up, it will be locked in the groove of the housing, fixing the two housings together. In the same way, any number of housings can be connected to each other.

[0018] Step 3: Take two shells without the base installed. Insert the pin at the bottom of one shell into the small hole in the middle of the top surface of the other shell. After the pin is inserted into the hole, the protrusion at one end will squeeze the two sliders, causing the sliders to contract. After the protrusion of the pin passes, it will be reset by the action of spring one and lock the pin so that it cannot retract, thus connecting the two shells vertically. At the same time as inserting the pin of one shell into the other shell, the pin at the top of the other shell will also be inserted into the round hole at the bottom of the upper shell. In the same way, any number of shells can be stacked on top of each other. After the connection is completed, connect the base to the bottom of the bottom shell.

[0019] Step 4: After the rainwater falls to the top of the outer shell, it will enter the conduit through the two large round holes at the top, and then fall into the sedimentation tank through the filter screen. When the rainwater level is higher than the sedimentation tank, it will overflow and fall into the bottom of the outer shell, and then enter the water pipe or the next layer of the outer shell through the large round hole at the bottom.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0021] By setting up a water collection mechanism, the capacity can be expanded and the stability of the connection between modules can be enhanced. The water collection mechanism can increase the capacity, thereby increasing the amount of rainwater collected. At the same time, the use of a more robust connection method can ensure that the connection between modules is more stable and reliable, reducing the risk of leakage and loosening. In this way, the rainwater collector can not only store more rainwater, but also ensure the stability of the device.

[0022] By setting up filters and sedimentation tanks, impurities in rainwater are filtered and settled. Filters can intercept larger suspended solids in rainwater, such as leaves, dust, and insects, preventing these impurities from entering the storage container. Sedimentation tanks allow smaller suspended solids and dissolved substances to settle in still water, thereby further purifying the water quality. Through these measures, the collected rainwater is cleaner and suitable for outdoor irrigation, toilet flushing, or other non-potable purposes, improving the quality and efficiency of rainwater utilization.

[0032] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the garden design flood control rainwater collector includes a base 1, with a water collection mechanism 2 on the top of the base 1. The water collection mechanism 2 includes a housing 3, with the bottom of the housing 3 slidably connected to the top of a water pipe 5. One end of a quick connector 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the water pipe 5. Pins 7 are fixedly connected to both the bottom and top of the housing 3. Two springs 8 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the bottom of the housing 3, with sliders 9 fixedly connected to one end of each spring 8. Similarly, two springs 8 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the housing 3, with sliders 9 fixedly connected to one end of each spring 8. Limiting blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the edge of the top of the housing 3. A knob 11 is slidably connected to the outer side of the limiting block 10. Rotating arms 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the knob 11. The bottom of the knob 11 is fixedly connected to the top of a spring 13, and the bottom of the spring 13 is movably connected to the housing 3. The outer side of the rotating arms 12 is slidably connected to the housing 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, two conduits 14 are fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell 3. The top of each conduit 14 is fixedly connected to a sedimentation tank 4. The bottom of the conduit 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the filter screen 15, and the inner side of the filter screen 15 is fixedly connected to the middle of the sedimentation tank 4.

[0035] The filter screen 15 can filter out larger impurities carried in the rainwater, and the sedimentation tank 4 can settle smaller impurities, thereby purifying the water quality.

[0036] In this embodiment, the sedimentation tank 4 is cylindrical in shape, and a cylindrical protrusion is provided on the bottom inner side of the sedimentation tank 4. The top of the cylindrical protrusion is connected to the filter screen 15 through two rod-shaped protrusions.

[0037] When the level of rainwater in sedimentation tank 4 exceeds the height of the edge of sedimentation tank 4, it will overflow and fall into the bottom of the outer shell 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the front of the base 1 has a groove that extends to the rear, and the top of the base 1 has a funnel-shaped groove.

[0039] The shape of the top of the base 1 matches the shape of the bottom of the outer shell 3, so that the outer shell 3 is stably supported.

[0040] In this embodiment, the top of the outer casing 3 has two large circular holes, and the bottom of the outer casing 3 also has two large circular holes. The diameters of the large circular holes at the top and bottom of the outer casing 3 are the same.

[0041] The large round hole at the top of the outer casing 3 is connected to the water pipe 5 to guide rainwater into the sedimentation tank 4. The outer casing 3 is also connected to the water pipe 5 through the round hole at the bottom, so that the water pipe 5 connects the outer casing 3 and the base 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, a circular hole is opened on one side of the base 1, extending to the other side, and two circular holes are opened on both sides of the top of the base 1.

[0043] The holes in the base 1 match the shape of the water pipe 5, thereby fixing the water pipe 5 in place.

[0044] In this embodiment, one end of the pin 7 is provided with a frustum-shaped protrusion, and the top and bottom of the outer casing 3 are provided with round holes, and the diameter of the round holes matches the maximum diameter of the pin 7.

[0045] The pin 7 can be inserted into the round hole of another housing 3 to fix the two housings 3 together.

[0046] In this embodiment, the knob 11 has a circular hole extending from the top to the bottom, and the limiting block 10 is a semi-cylinder in shape.

[0047] The knob 11 can be fitted onto the outside of the limiting block 10 to prevent the two mutually fitting limiting blocks 10 from shifting.

[0048] In this embodiment, the rotating arm 12 is strip-shaped, and a cylindrical protrusion is provided at the top of one end of the rotating arm 12. A semi-circular groove is opened on the edge of the top of the outer shell 3, and an annular groove is opened on the inner wall of the groove. The top of the water pipe 5 is provided with two tubular protrusions, and the outer diameter of the two tubular protrusions matches the diameter of the large circular hole of the outer shell 3.

[0049] The rotating arm 12 can slide in the groove on the edge of the outer shell 3 and can be engaged with the outer shell 3 by the action of the spring 13, making the connection between the two outer shells 3 more stable.

[0050] A method for collecting rainwater using a flood control rainwater collector in landscape design, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 1: Place the base 1 on a flat surface with the protrusion at the top of the water pipe 5 facing upwards. Align the two large round holes at the bottom of the outer casing 3 with the protrusion of the water pipe 5, insert the protrusion of the water pipe 5 into the large round holes at the bottom of the outer casing 3, and press the outer casing 3 so that its bottom fits against the top of the base 1.

[0052] Step 2: Take two devices and align one side of the water pipe 5 with one side of the quick connector 6. Bring the two bases 1 close to each other so that the water pipe 5 connects with the quick connector 6. The two bases 1 drive the connected outer shell 3 to move synchronously, so that the two outer shells 3 fit together. The two limiting blocks 10 on the fitted side of the two outer shells 3 form a complete cylinder. Pass the inner side of the knob 11 and the second spring 13 through the cylinder formed by the two limiting blocks 10. Press the knob 11 so that it drives the rotating arm 12 to move down together. After it moves down to the bottom, turn the knob 11 so that the rotating arm 12 rotates together. After the rotating arm 12 rotates 90 degrees, it reaches its maximum stroke. Then release the knob 11. The second spring 13 will lift the knob 11 and the rotating arm 12. After the rotating arm 12 moves up, it will be stuck in the groove of the outer shell 3, so that the two outer shells 3 are fixed together. In the same way, any number of outer shells 3 can be connected to each other.

[0053] Step 3: Take two outer shells 3 without the base 1 installed. Insert the pin 7 at the bottom of one outer shell 3 into the small hole in the middle of the top surface of the other outer shell 3. After the pin 7 is inserted into the hole, the protrusion at one end will squeeze the two sliders 9, causing the sliders 9 to contract. After the protrusion of the pin 7 passes, it will be reset by the action of the spring 8 and lock the pin 7 so that it cannot retract, thereby connecting the two outer shells 3 vertically. At the same time as the pin 7 of one outer shell 3 is inserted into the other outer shell 3, the pin 7 at the top of the other outer shell 3 will also be inserted into the round hole at the bottom of the upper outer shell 3. In the same way, any number of outer shells 3 can be stacked on top of each other. After the connection is completed, connect the base 1 to the bottom of the bottom outer shell 3.

[0054] Step 4: After the rainwater falls to the top of the outer shell 3, it will enter the conduit 14 through the two large round holes at the top, and then fall into the sedimentation tank 4 through the filter screen 15. When the rainwater level is higher than the sedimentation tank 4, it will overflow and fall into the bottom of the outer shell 3, and then enter the water pipe 5 or the next layer of the outer shell 3 through the large round hole at the bottom.

[0055] It should be noted that the present invention is a rainwater collector for garden design and its collection method. When in use, they can be connected to each other to increase the rainwater collection capacity. By arranging two outer shells 3 in parallel, the limiting blocks 10 on one side of the two outer shells 3 are merged to form a cylinder. Then, the knob 11 and spring 13 are fitted on the outside of the cylinder, and the rotating arm 12 is aligned with the groove of the outer shell 3. Then, the knob 11 is pressed to squeeze the spring 13 and drive the two connected rotating arms 12 to move down synchronously. After the knob 11 moves to the bottom, it rotates and drives the rotating arm 12 to rotate. After the rotating arm 12 rotates to 90 degrees, it stops rotating due to the obstruction of the inner wall of the outer shell 3. The knob 11 is then turned up and the rotating arm 12 rises under the action of the spring 13. After the rotating arm 12 rises, it will engage with the groove of the outer shell 3, thereby fixing the knob 11 and fixing the two adjacent outer shells 3 together.

[0056] By connecting any number of shells 3 and connecting the base 1 and water pipe 5 at the bottom of the bottom shell 3, support can be provided for connecting the interconnected shells 3. By connecting adjacent water pipes 5 through quick connectors 6, rainwater inside the stacked shells 3 can be combined and discharged.

[0057] By setting up the water collection mechanism 2, any number of shells 3 can be spliced ​​together according to actual usage needs, thereby adapting to different usage requirements. Furthermore, rainwater can be filtered and settled through the filter screen 15 and the sedimentation tank 4, thereby purifying the rainwater.

[0058] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
