Detailed implementation manners
[0039] The following will further elaborate on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-7 to provide a more detailed description of the present application.
[0040] Embodiment 1:
[0041] The present application discloses a floating water inlet device. Referring to Figure 1 , the floating water inlet device includes a floating ball 1, connecting pipe fittings 2, a water delivery hose 3, and an installation head 4 that are connected in sequence.
[0042] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the floating ball 1 has a sealed air cavity 5 so as to be able to float on the water surface. The connecting pipe fittings 2 are connected between the floating ball 1 and the water delivery hose 3 and are located in the upper part of the entire water inlet device, and a plurality of water inlet channels 6 are uniformly spaced along the circumferential direction of the connecting pipe fittings 2. The water inlet channels 6 connect the inner cavity of the connecting pipe fittings 2 itself with the external environment, so that the water in the water storage tower enters the connecting pipe fittings 2 from the water inlet channels 6 and flows from the connecting pipe fittings 2 to the water delivery hose 3.
[0043] The material of the water delivery hose 3 can be a steel wire hose, a braided hose or other hoses that can be bent but have a certain hardness. In this embodiment, it is preferably that the material of the water delivery hose 3 is a steel wire hose, so as to avoid the problem of being blocked and unable to pass water due to excessive bending.
[0044] The installation head 4 is installed and connected to the water outlet or the water outlet pipe of the water storage tower to install the water inlet device in the water storage tower, and the floating ball 1, the connecting pipe fitting 2, the water delivery hose 3 and the installation head 4 are distributed in sequence from top to bottom. The water in the water delivery hose 3 flows out of the water storage tower from the installation head 4 under the action of gravity.
[0045] Due to the buoyancy of the floating ball 1, the connecting pipe fitting 2 will rise and fall with the water level, so it always remains in the upper layer of the water body, so that the water flowing into the connecting pipe fitting 2 and delivered to the water delivery hose 3 is close to the upper layer of the liquid level in the water storage tower, thereby reducing the extraction of dirt at the bottom of the water storage tower and improving the water quality of the outlet water.
[0046] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , wherein, the floating ball 1 is formed with a socket cavity 8 along its own axis. The socket cavity 8 is isolated from the air cavity 5 through the wall of the floating ball 1, and the socket cavity 8 is communicated with the outside of the floating ball 1. The connecting pipe fitting 2 includes a main pipe joint 21, a first reducing joint 22 and a second reducing joint 23. The first reducing joint 22 is installed at one end of the main pipe joint 21 and has at least one part with an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the main pipe joint 21 for inserting the water delivery hose 3; the second reducing joint 23 is installed at the end of the main pipe joint 21 far from the first reducing joint 22 and also has at least one part with an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the main pipe joint 21 for press-fitting into the socket cavity 8 of the floating ball 1.
[0047] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , specifically, the main pipe joint 21 is a multi-way pipe joint, which is a six-way pipe joint in this embodiment and has six branch joints 11 with the same diameter and in a circular tube shape. Two of the six branch joints 11 of the main pipe joint 21 are coaxially arranged and serve as the opposite ends of the main pipe joint 21 to communicate with the first reducing joint 22 and the second reducing joint 23 respectively; the remaining four branch joints 11 are evenly spaced around the axis of the two coaxially arranged branch joints 11, that is, they serve as the water inlet channels 6 for the inner cavity of the main pipe joint 21 to communicate with the outside, and the six branch joints 11 of the main pipe joint 21 are all communicated with each other.
[0048] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first reducing joint 22 includes a first inserting pipe 221, a reducing pipe 222 and a second inserting pipe 223. The first inserting pipe 221 is in a circular tube shape with both ends communicated. The outer diameter of the first inserting pipe 221 is the same as the inner diameter of the branch joint 11. One end of the first inserting pipe 221 is inserted into the branch joint 11 at the end of the main pipe joint 21, and the other end of the first inserting pipe 221 is located outside the branch joint 11.
[0049] The reducing pipe 222 includes a first reducing section 2221 and a second reducing section 2222 which are coaxially connected and both are in a circular tubular shape. The inner diameter of the first reducing section 2221 is the same as the outer diameter of the first insertion pipe 221, and it is used to coaxially sleeve on the part of the first insertion pipe 221 located outside the branch joint 11. The outer diameter of the second reducing section 2222 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first insertion pipe 221. After the first reducing section 2221 is sleeved on the first insertion pipe 221, the second reducing section 2222 is located at one end of the first insertion pipe 221 away from the main pipe joint 21 and is communicated with the first insertion pipe 221.
[0050] The second insertion pipe 223 is in a circular tubular shape with both ends communicated. The outer diameter of the second insertion pipe 223 is the same as the inner diameter of the second reducing section 2222, and it is used to be inserted into the second reducing section 2222, and one end extends out from the end of the second reducing section 2222 away from the first reducing section 2221.
[0051] In summary, when only the first insertion pipe 221 is installed, the first insertion pipe 221 can be used as a part for inserting the water delivery hose 3. When the reducing pipe 222 is installed, the second reducing section 2222 can be used as a part for inserting the water delivery hose 3. When the second insertion pipe 223 is installed, both the second insertion pipe 223 and the second reducing section 2222 can be used as parts for inserting the water delivery hose 3. Thus, according to the different diameters of the water delivery hose 3, each part of the first reducing joint 22 can be disassembled and assembled to improve the adaptation range of the first reducing joint 22. In addition, in order to improve the stability of the first reducing joint 22, after the size of the water delivery hose 3 is determined, the first reducing joint 22 and the branch joint 11, as well as between each pipe of the first reducing joint 22, can be glued with special pipe glue.
[0052] In this embodiment, the structure of the second reducing joint 23 and the way of installing it on the branch joint 11 are the same as those of the first reducing joint 22, and will not be elaborated here. And the second reducing joint 23 and the float ball 1 can be further fixed by gluing.
[0053] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the water delivery hose 3 after being sleeved on the first reducing joint 22, the water delivery hose 3 is provided with a fastener 7. In this embodiment, the fastener 7 is a hose clamp sleeved on the outer wall of the water delivery hose 3, and the hose clamp is located on the part of the water delivery hose 3 sleeved on the first reducing joint 22. The hose clamp has a screw rod and a matching fixing ring, and by screwing in the screw rod, the hose clamp gives the water delivery hose 3 a tightening force for clamping the first reducing joint 22. And when the water delivery hose 3 needs to be replaced, the hose clamp is removed from the water delivery hose 3, and then the water delivery hose 3 can be pulled out from the first reducing joint 22.
[0054] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4, Further, the installation head 4 includes a pipe-passing part 41, a locking ring 42 and a sealing ring 43. The pipe-passing part 41 is in the shape of a circular tube with a threaded outer wall and is responsible for passing through the water outlet of the water storage tower. One end of the pipe-passing part 41 is connected and communicated with one end of the water delivery hose 3 away from the first reducing joint 22, and water flows out of the water storage tower through the pipe-passing part 41.
[0055] The locking rings 42 are in the shape of nuts and there are two of them. They are both coaxially threadedly connected to the outer wall of the pipe-passing part 41 and are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the water storage tower. They clamp the tower wall of the water storage tower through their common action to fixedly connect the installation head 4 to the water storage tower. There are also two sealing rings 43. Both of the two sealing rings 43 are sleeved on the outer wall of the pipe-passing part 41, and the two sealing rings 43 respectively abut against the inner and outer side walls of the water storage tower and are located between the tower wall of the water storage tower and the locking ring 42 to seal between the outer periphery of the pipe-passing part 41 and the water outlet to prevent water leakage.
[0056] In addition, the connection between the pipe-passing part 41 and the water delivery hose 3 is realized by coaxially sleeving the water delivery hose 3 on the outer wall of the pipe-passing part 41 and sleeving a hose clamp on the outer wall of the water delivery hose 3 to clamp the water delivery hose 3 tightly on the pipe-passing part 41.
[0057] The implementation principle of the floating water inlet device in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: due to the buoyancy of the floating ball 1, the water inlet channel 6 is located in the upper layer of the liquid. The liquid enters the main pipe joint 21 from the water inlet channel 6, flows through the first reducing joint 22 and the water delivery hose 3 in sequence, and then flows out from the installation head 4.
[0058] Embodiment Two:
[0059] The embodiment of the present application discloses a water storage tower. Refer to Figure 6 , the water storage tower includes the floating water inlet device in Embodiment One, and further includes a water storage tower body 9. The bottom of the water storage tower body 9 has a water outlet 10, and the floating water inlet device is installed at the water outlet 10 of the water storage tower body 9 through the installation head 4 and is communicated with the water outlet 10.
[0060] Refer to Figure 6 , the shape of the water storage tower body 9 can be cylindrical, refer to Figure 7 , the shape of the water storage tower body 9 can also be a brick-built box type.
[0061] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application. The protection scope of the present application is not limited by this. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
