DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the implementation regulations described are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a roof rainwater collection and pre-storage device: it includes a pre-storage shell 1 and a collection shell 2, the top surface of the pre-storage shell 1 is hingedly connected to the collection shell 2, the inner surface of the pre-storage shell 1 is provided with a water intake mechanism 3, and the inner surface of the collection shell 2 is provided with a sedimentation mechanism 4.

[0021] Furthermore, the water intake mechanism 3 includes a water intake trough 301, an overflow pipe 302, a threaded column 303, a lifting block 304, a spring 305, a sealing ring 306 and a support plate 307. The outer surface of the pre-storage shell 1 is provided with a water intake trough 301, the outer surface of the pre-storage shell 1 is provided with an overflow pipe 302, the inner surface of the pre-storage shell 1 is fixedly connected with a threaded column 303, the outer surface of the threaded column 303 is threadedly connected with a lifting block 304, the top surface of the lifting block 304 is fixedly connected with a spring 305, the outer surface of the threaded column 303 is sleeved with a sealing ring 306, and the outer surface of the sealing ring 306 is fixedly connected with a support plate 307. Through the arrangement of the water intake trough 301, the overflow pipe 302, the threaded column 303, the lifting block 304, the spring 305, the sealing ring 306 and the support plate 307, During use, the rainwater collected in the collection shell 2 is filtered by the sedimentation mechanism 4 and then flows into the support plate 307 in the pre-storage shell 1. The support plate 307 can move vertically on the threaded column 303 but will be lifted up by the spring 305. As the amount of rainwater increases, the weight also increases, which will squeeze the spring 305 at the bottom to make the support plate 307 drop. In this way, when there is little rainwater inside, the support plate 307 is in a higher position and it is also convenient to take out rainwater from the water intake trough 301 for use. The sealing ring 306 ensures the airtightness of the connection between the support plate 307 and the threaded column 303. The lifting block 304 can rotate on the threaded column 303 to change the height, thereby limiting the minimum height of the spring 305 and the support plate 307 to limit the internal rainwater capacity. Excessive rainwater will flow out of the overflow pipe 302 to prevent affecting the use of the sedimentation mechanism 4.

[0022] Furthermore, the water intake trough 301 penetrates the pre-storage shell 1 , and the overflow pipe 302 penetrates the pre-storage shell 1 . The water intake trough 301 is used to take out rainwater for use, and excessive rainwater will flow out from the overflow pipe 302 to prevent affecting the use of the sedimentation mechanism 4 .

[0023] Furthermore, the number of threaded columns 303 is four and they are symmetrically distributed. The threaded columns 303 penetrate the support plate 307, and the support plate 307 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the pre-stored shell 1. Multiple threaded columns 303 disperse the force on each component, and the height of the internal rainwater top is changed by the height of the support plate 307 to facilitate water collection.

[0024] Furthermore, the sedimentation mechanism 4 includes a fixed frame 401, a filter screen 402, a sedimentation tank 403, an overflow tank 404 and a support frame 405. The inner surface of the collecting shell 2 is fixedly connected with the fixed frame 401, the inner surface of the fixed frame 401 is fixedly connected with the filter screen 402, the bottom surface of the fixed frame 401 is fixedly connected with the sedimentation tank 403, the outer surface of the sedimentation tank 403 is provided with an overflow tank 404, and the outer surface of the pre-storage shell 1 is fixedly connected with the support frame 405. The trough 403, the overflow trough 404 and the support frame 405 are arranged. During use, the fixed frame 401 installs and fixes the sedimentation mechanism 4 in the collection shell 2. After the rainwater enters the collection shell 2, the larger impurities are first filtered out by the filter net 402, and the rest falls into the sedimentation trough 403. The heavier impurities will settle at the bottom. As the water level rises, the relatively pure rainwater at the top will flow from the overflow trough 404 into the pre-storage shell 1 at the bottom. After the collection shell 2 rotates, it will be supported by the support frame 405, which makes it easier to clean the interior of the pre-storage shell 1.

[0025] Furthermore, the overflow trough 404 runs through the sedimentation trough 403 , and there are two overflow troughs 404 . The relatively pure rainwater at the top will flow from the overflow trough 404 into the pre-storage shell 1 at the bottom.

[0026] Furthermore, the support frame 405 is slidably connected to the collection shell 2, and the collection shell 2 will be supported by the support frame 405 after rotation, so that it is convenient to clean the interior of the pre-stored shell 1.

[0027] Working principle: A rooftop rainwater collection and pre-storage device, a fixed frame 401 installs and fixes the sedimentation mechanism 4 in the collection shell 2. After the rainwater enters the collection shell 2, it is first filtered out of larger impurities by the filter 402, and the rest falls into the sedimentation tank 403. As the water level rises, the relatively pure rainwater at the top will flow from the overflow tank 404 into the pre-storage shell 1 at the bottom. After the collection shell 2 rotates, it will be supported by the support frame 405. After the water is filtered by the sedimentation mechanism 4, it flows into the support plate 307 in the pre-storage shell 1. The support plate 307 can move vertically on the threaded column 303 but will be lifted up by the spring 305. As the amount of rainwater increases, its weight also increases, squeezing the spring 305 at the bottom to cause the support plate 307 to drop. In this way, when there is less rainwater inside, the support plate 307 is in a higher position, which can also facilitate the extraction of rainwater from the water intake trough 301 for use. The sealing ring 306 ensures the airtightness of the connection between the support plate 307 and the threaded column 303. The lifting block 304 can rotate on the threaded column 303 to change its height, thereby limiting the minimum height of the spring 305 and the support plate 307 to limit the internal rainwater capacity. Excessive rainwater will flow out of the overflow pipe 302 to prevent affecting the use of the sedimentation mechanism 4, thus completing a roof rainwater collection and storage device.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the implementation rules without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
