It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0021] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the limitations of the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] As Figures 1-4 shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a rainwater collection device, including a water receiving tank 1. Two connecting plates 2 are installed on the surface of the water receiving tank 1. On one side of the surface of the two connecting plates 2, a working box 3 is installed. On one side of the top wall of the working box 3, two mounting plates 9 are fixedly connected. On one side of the inner wall of the working box 3, a motor 4 is installed. The output end of the motor 4 is installed with a worm 5. On the bottom side of the inner wall of the working box 3, two brackets 6 are fixedly connected. The two brackets 6 are rotationally connected to the worm 5. On one side of the surface of the worm 5, a worm gear 7 is meshed. On one side of the inner wall of the worm gear 7, an adjusting shaft 8 is installed. The adjusting shaft 8 is rotationally connected to the connecting plate 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, under the action of the mounting plate 9, the working box 3 is fixed at the bottom of the eaves. When the user is in sunny weather, start the two motors 4 installed inside the working box 3. Under the action of the motor 4, the output end of the motor 4 rotates to drive the worm 5 to rotate. The two brackets 6 play a supporting role for the worm 5. The rotation of the worm 5 drives the rotation of the worm gear 7. The rotation of the worm gear 7 drives the rotation of the adjusting shaft 8. The rotation of the adjusting shaft 8 drives the rotation of the connecting plate 2. The movement of the connecting plate 2 drives the movement of the water receiving tank 1, and then the water receiving tank 1 is hidden under the eaves, thereby extending the service life of the water receiving tank 1 and reducing the cost of the rainwater collection device. At the same time, when the output end of the motor 4 rotates in the reverse direction, the water receiving tank 1 is extended under the eaves, which can improve the efficiency of receiving rainwater and the working efficiency of the rainwater collection device.

[0025] Embodiment 2

[0026] AsFigures 1-4 As shown in the figure, two sliding grooves 12 are formed in the inner wall of the water receiving tank 1. Two limiting plates 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom side of the inner wall of the water receiving tank 1. One side of the surface of each of the two sliding grooves 12 is slidably connected with a support plate 11. One side of the top wall of the support plate 11 is fixedly connected with a handle 13. One side of the surface of the support plate 11 is fixedly connected with a first filter plate 10. One side of the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 1 is communicated with a connecting pipe 15. Two connecting pieces 16 are fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the connecting pipe 15. One side of the bottom wall of the connecting pipe 15 is communicated with a water storage tank 17. Four support columns 20 are fixedly connected to one side of the bottom wall of the water storage tank 17. Two dust covers 18 are movably connected to one side of the top wall of the water storage tank 17. A second filter plate 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the water storage tank 17.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the user pulls the handle 13, under the action of the two sliding grooves 12, the movement of the handle 13 drives the support plate 11 to rise in the sliding groove 12. The rising of the support plate 11 drives the first filter plate 10 to rise. Taking out the first filter plate 10 facilitates the user to remove large debris such as leaves and garbage adsorbed on the first filter plate 10, thereby improving the rainwater receiving efficiency, preventing large garbage from covering the water receiving tank 1, reducing the drainage rate of the water receiving tank 1, and reducing the pollution of rainwater by garbage. The limiting plates 14 support the support plate 11 to prevent the support plate 11 from tilting or sliding down. Then, under the action of the connecting pieces 16, the connecting pipe 15 is fixed to the wall surface. The rainwater collected inside the water receiving tank 1 flows down through the connecting pipe 15 into the interior of the water storage tank 17. The user removes the dust cover 18 and puts chemical agents into the interior of the water storage tank 17 for disinfection. The second filter plate 19 has a smaller filter hole diameter than the first filter plate 10 and is used for more delicate filtration of rainwater. Under the action of the support columns 20, the moisture and water flow from the ground are reduced from eroding the water storage tank 17, and the service life of the water storage tank 17 is prolonged.

[0028] Working principle of this embodiment: When in use, first connect the power supply. With the help of the mounting plate 9, the working box 3 is fixed at the bottom of the eaves. When it is sunny, the user starts two motors 4 installed inside the working box 3. The output end of the motor 4 rotates to drive the worm 5 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 5 drives the worm wheel 7 to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 7 drives the adjusting shaft 8 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting shaft 8 drives the connecting plate 2 to rotate. The connecting plate 2 moves to drive the water receiving tank 1 to move, and then the water receiving tank 1 is hidden under the eaves, thereby prolonging the service life of the water receiving tank 1. At the same time, when the output end of the motor 4 rotates in the reverse direction, the water receiving tank 1 is extended under the eaves, which can improve the rainwater receiving efficiency. Then, when the user pulls the grip 13, under the action of the two chutes 12, the movement of the grip 13 drives the support plate 11 to rise. The rise of the support plate 11 drives the first filter plate 10 to rise. Taking out the first filter plate 10 facilitates the user to remove large debris such as leaves and garbage adsorbed on the first filter plate 10. Then, under the action of the connector 16, the connecting pipe 15 is fixed to the wall. The rainwater collected inside the water receiving tank 1 flows down through the connecting pipe 15 into the inside of the water storage tank 17. The user removes the dust cover 18 and puts chemical agents into the inside of the water storage tank 17 for disinfection. The second filter plate 19 has a smaller filter hole diameter than the first filter plate 10 and is used for more delicate filtration of rainwater.

[0029] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not a limitation of the present invention in other forms. Any person skilled in the art may use the disclosed technical content to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes and apply them to other fields. However, as long as it does not depart from the technical solution content of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still belong to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
