Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a sunshade and rain shelter for bus stops, in particular to a sunshade and rain shelter device installed at a bus stop that can collect rainwater. Background Technique
[0002] Sunshade and rain shelters are installed at bus stops in cities. Ordinary sunshade and rain shelters do not have rainwater collection devices. When a large amount of rainwater falls on the shelter on rainy days and flows to the ground, it not only burdens the municipal drainage system but also causes waste of water resources.
[0003] At present, some rainwater collection devices for bus stops have been developed, such as: an environment-friendly bus stop with a rainwater collection and utilization structure (CN 112647737 A), a rainwater collection device for a bus stop pavilion (CN 206267565 U). In order to collect relatively clean rainwater, some devices are also provided with rainwater filtering components, such as: a bus stop with a water storage device with a rainwater filtering system (CN 205276933 U), a bus stop for municipal construction with a rainwater collection function (CN216239939 U).
[0004] However, after the filtering components of these rainwater collection devices for bus stops operate for a period of time, they need to be manually cleaned and replaced to ensure the rainwater filtering effect, which increases the extra workload for sanitation workers. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Aiming at the technical problems mentioned in the above background, the utility model provides a bus stop shelter for collecting rainwater, which can automatically discharge the dust in the collected rainwater directly, without the need for filtering components, and without manual management and cleaning.
[0006] Technical Solution: A bus stop shelter for collecting rainwater includes two water buckets and a rain collection cover;
[0007] The two water buckets are installed side by side at the bus stop, and their main structures are set as large cylinders with openings at the upper parts; four threaded holes are processed at the upper parts of the large cylinders, and the rain collection cover is connected through four bolts; a water discharge pipe is communicated with the lower side of the large cylinder, and a valve is connected to the water discharge pipe to control the water discharge; a sewage pipe is communicated with the center of the bottom surface of the large cylinder; four supports are installed at the bottom of the large cylinder;
[0008] On the upper part of the inner bottom surface of each water storage bucket, a lower bracket is welded, and the central hole of the lower bracket is coaxial with the sewage discharge pipe; a blocking rod is inserted into the lower bracket, and the blocking rod is composed of four parts: a long rod, a counterweight, a plug, and a sealing ring. Among them, threads are processed on the upper part of the long rod, and after a lower floating ball is inserted, it is fixed by connecting a nut. The middle part has a clearance fit with the central hole of the lower bracket and can slide up and down. Threads are processed on the lower part, and after the counterweight is inserted, it is connected to the plug; two annular grooves are processed on the plug to install the sealing ring.
[0009] The rain collection cover is supported on two water storage buckets and is formed by welding two inclined plates, a flat plate, two side plates, and eight connecting ears; among them, four connecting ears are welded to the lower part of each end of the flat plate, and are connected to the water storage bucket through the bolts. Two water collection holes are processed at the positions corresponding to the axis of the water storage bucket at both ends of the flat plate for water inlet.
[0010] An upper bracket is welded outside the water collection hole on the rain collection cover, and the central hole of the upper bracket is coaxial with the water collection hole; a floating ball guide rod is connected to the upper bracket, and a floating ball is inserted into the lower part of the floating ball guide rod; the floating ball is arranged to be able to slide freely on the floating ball guide rod and block the water collection hole after falling, so as to prevent dust from directly blowing into the water storage bucket when it does not rain.
[0011] Furthermore, a screen cover is also provided on the upper part of the rain collection cover; the screen cover is arranged as a hemispherical perforated screen, is worn on the floating ball guide rod, and covers outside the water collection hole to prevent large-sized sundries such as leaves from entering the water storage bucket 1.
[0012] Furthermore, the counterweight of the blocking rod is arranged as a perforated disc shape, and the weight is adjusted by changing the diameter. Its weight is matched with the buoyancy of the lower floating ball, and the total weight of the blocking rod and the lower floating ball is set so that it can promote the plug to be inserted into the sewage discharge pipe of the water storage bucket without buoyancy; and the total weight of the blocking rod and the lower floating ball is less than the buoyancy of the lower floating ball to ensure that the buoyancy promotes the plug to be pulled out of the sewage discharge pipe for sewage discharge after the water storage bucket is filled with rainwater.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the water storage bucket is arranged as a conical surface with a lower middle part to facilitate flushing the dust to the sewage discharge pipe at the center for discharge.
[0014] Compared with the existing background technology, the above at least one technical solution adopted by one or more embodiments of this specification can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) In addition to realizing the functions of shading and rain protection, the bus stop shelter can collect rainwater and save water resources. (2) The plugging rod and the lower floating ball cooperate to discharge the dust in the water after the rainwater is collected, leaving clean rainwater for use. (3) The bus stop shelter is not provided with a filtering component, and the automatic operation of discharging the dust in the water does not require personnel to handle. (4) The screen cover blocks large-size sundries such as leaves, and the upper floating ball prevents dust from entering the water storage bucket when it is not raining. (5) The rain collecting cover with an inner concave shape on the upper part prevents rainwater from flowing along its outer edge and does not cause trouble to the passengers getting on and off the bus.
[0016] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are only exemplary and explanatory, and do not limit the present utility model.

Detailed implementation manners
[0032] The following will describe in detail various exemplary embodiments, features and usage methods of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements having the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, the drawings do not have to be drawn to scale unless otherwise specified.
[0033] In addition, in order to better illustrate the present invention, numerous specific details are given in the following detailed implementation manners. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can also be implemented without some specific details. In some instances, methods, means and elements well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail so as to highlight the gist of the present invention.
[0034] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a bus stop shed for collecting rainwater includes a water storage bucket 1, a valve 2, a lower bracket 3, a plugging rod 4, a lower floating ball 5, a bolt 6, a rain collection cover 7, an upper bracket 8, a floating ball guide rod 9, an upper floating ball 10, and a screen cover 11.
[0035] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, two of the water storage buckets are installed side by side at the bus stop, and its main structure is set as a large cylinder with an open upper part; four threaded holes 101 are processed on the upper part of the large cylinder, and the rain collection cover is connected through four bolts 6; a water discharge pipe 102 is communicated with the lower side of the large cylinder, and a valve 2 is connected to the water discharge pipe to control water discharge; a sewage pipe 103 is communicated with the center of the bottom surface of the large cylinder; four supports 104 are installed at the bottom of the large cylinder; the bottom surface of the water storage bucket is set as a conical surface with a lower middle part to facilitate flushing dust to the sewage pipe 103 at the center for discharge.
[0036] As Figure 3 and Figures 7 to 9As shown in the figure, a lower bracket 3 is welded to the upper part of the inner bottom surface of each water storage bucket. The central hole of the lower bracket is coaxial with the sewage pipe. A plugging rod 4 is inserted into the lower bracket. The plugging rod is composed of a long rod 401, a counterweight 402, a plug 403, and a sealing ring 404. Among them, the upper part of the long rod is processed with threads for connecting a lower floating ball 5 and fixing with a nut after passing through. The middle part has a clearance fit with the central hole of the lower bracket and can slide up and down. The lower part is processed with threads for connecting the counterweight after passing through and then connecting the plug. Two annular grooves are processed on the plug for installing the sealing ring. The counterweight 402 of the plugging rod is set in the shape of a perforated disc, and its weight is adjusted by changing the diameter. Its weight is matched with the buoyancy of the lower floating ball 5, and the total weight of the plugging rod 4 and the lower floating ball 5 is set to be able to urge the plug 403 to insert into the sewage pipe 103 of the water storage bucket 1 under no buoyancy. And the total weight of the plugging rod 4 and the lower floating ball 5 is less than the buoyancy of the lower floating ball 5 to ensure that after the water storage bucket 1 is filled with rainwater, the buoyancy urges the plug 403 to be pulled out from the sewage pipe 103 for sewage discharge.
[0037] As Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the rain collection cover is supported on two of the water storage buckets. In addition to the functions of shading and rain protection, it is also used for collecting rainwater. It is formed by welding two inclined plates 701, one flat plate 702, two side plates 703, and eight connecting ears 704. Among them, four of the connecting ears are welded to the lower part of each end of the flat plate, and are connected to the water storage bucket through the bolts. Two water collection holes 705 are processed at the positions corresponding to the axis of the water storage bucket at both ends of the flat plate for water inlet.
[0038] As Figure 3 and Figures 10 to 12 shown, an upper bracket 8 is welded outside the water collection hole on the rain collection cover. The central hole of the upper bracket is coaxial with the water collection hole. A floating ball guide rod 9 is connected to the upper bracket. The lower part of the floating ball guide rod penetrates an upper floating ball 10. The upper floating ball is set to be able to slide freely on the floating ball guide rod and block the water collection hole after falling to prevent dust from directly blowing into the water storage bucket when it is not raining. A screen cover 11 is also provided on the upper part of the rain collection cover. The screen cover is set as a hemispherical perforated screen, which is put on the floating ball guide rod and buckled outside the water collection hole to prevent large-size sundries such as leaves from entering the water storage bucket 1.
[0039] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the specific working principle of the present utility model is as follows:
[0040] When it is not raining, the rain collection cover 7 provides a shading function for passengers waiting for the bus. And the upper floating ball 10 on it falls along the floating ball guide rod 9 to block the water collection hole 705 of the rain collection cover 7 to prevent dust from directly blowing into the water storage bucket 1, as Figure 1 shown.
[0041] When it rains, the rain collection cover 7 collects rainwater, and the water level in its upper part gradually rises. The floating ball 10 floats under the action of buoyancy, opening the water collection hole 705 of the rain collection cover 7. The accumulated water in the upper part of the rain collection cover 7 flows into the water storage bucket 1; when the rainwater in the water storage bucket 1 is nearly full, the lower floating ball 5 floats under the action of buoyancy, and the plug 403 of the plugging rod 4 is pulled out from the sewage discharge pipe 103 of the water storage bucket 1, opening the sewage discharge channel, and the dusty sewage at the bottom of the water storage bucket 1 is discharged, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown; after the rain stops, the rain collection cover 7 no longer collects rainwater and pours it into the water storage bucket 1. The water level in the water storage bucket 1 begins to fall. The lower floating ball 5 loses buoyancy, and the total weight of the plugging rod 4 and the lower floating ball 5 causes the plug 403 to be inserted back into the sewage discharge pipe 103 of the water storage bucket 1. The relatively clean water in the water storage bucket 1 is no longer discharged and can be used for passengers to wash their hands, sanitation cleaning, etc.
