Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rainwater collection devices, specifically a rainwater collection device. Background Art

[0002] Rainwater, as a natural resource, its recycling and reuse meet the requirements of sustainable development. Under the background of global climate change, collecting rainwater can analyze the rainwater quality and related indicators, providing corresponding references for studying climate change. Therefore, rainwater collection is particularly important.

[0003] Based on the existing rainwater collection and storage devices, they are generally placed on the ground or close to the ground. When in use, manual operation is generally required for sampling, and only rainwater near the ground can be collected. It is impossible to collect rainwater samples at different heights. Moreover, the filter plate inside the rainwater collection funnel may be blocked after long-term filtration, thereby reducing the collection efficiency of the funnel for rainwater. For this reason, we design a device, an automatic rainwater collection device placed at different heights of a high tower, which can collect rainwater at different heights when placed outdoors on a high tower.

[0026] 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 described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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.

[0027] The utility model provides a rainwater collection device, which includes several rainwater conveying pipes 1 with different lengths. At the top of each of the several rainwater conveying pipes 1, a rainwater collection funnel 2 is fixedly installed. A filter plate 3 is arranged on the upper surface of each of the several rainwater collection funnels 2. A self-cleaning component 4 is arranged on the surface of the rainwater collection funnel 2. The self-cleaning component 4 includes a scraper 401 slidably connected to the upper surface of the filter plate 3. A driven block is fixedly installed at the top of the scraper 401. A reciprocating lead screw 402 is threadedly connected inside the driven block. Driven columns are fixedly installed at both ends of the reciprocating lead screw 402. A first pulley is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one of the driven columns. The outer surface of the first pulley is rotationally connected to a second pulley through a belt. A first conduit 403 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the rainwater conveying pipe 1. One end of the first conduit 403 is fixedly installed with a transfer cylinder 404. A guide block 405 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the transfer cylinder 404. A driven shaft is rotatably connected inside the transfer cylinder 404. Several water wheel plates 406 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the driven shaft. The water wheel plates 406 are located inside the transfer cylinder 404. A second conduit 407 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the transfer cylinder 404. One end of the second conduit 407 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rainwater conveying pipe 1. The reciprocating lead screw 402 is made of titanium alloy. A second pulley is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the driven shaft. The driven shaft rotates through and is connected to the surface of the transfer cylinder 404.

[0028] Place the rainwater collection funnel 2 at a convenient position on the high tower. The bottom of the rainwater conveying pipe 1 is fixedly connected to the rainwater collection funnel 2. During the rainwater collection process, the rainwater is filtered by the filter plate 3, and the impurities are filtered on the surface of the filter plate 3. The rainwater gathers through the rainwater collection funnel 2 and flows into the interior of the rainwater conveying pipe 1. Part of the rainwater flows into the interior of the first conduit 403. The rainwater enters the interior of the transfer cylinder 404 and impacts the surface of the water wheel plates 406 under the guidance of the guide block 405, causing the water wheel plates 406 to rotate and driving the internal driven shaft to rotate. The driven shaft drives the reciprocating lead screw 402 to rotate through the second pulley and the first pulley. The rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 402 drives the driven block and the lower scraper 401 to move. The scraper 401 scrapes off the impurities on the surface of the filter plate 3, improving the rainwater collection efficiency. The rainwater is guided by the rainwater collection funnel 2 into the interior of the rainwater storage bottle 10.

[0029] When not in use, in order to protect the filter plate 3, such as Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown, support members are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer surface of the rainwater collecting funnel 2, and a protective cover 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the two support members. A groove is provided on the inner side wall of the protective cover 5, and a driven block is slidably connected inside the groove. A protective cover 6 is provided on the upper surface of the filter plate 3, and the side surface of the protective cover 6 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the protective cover 5 through a hinge. A card slot is provided on the surface of the protective cover 6, and an electric push rod 7 is provided on the upper surface of the protective cover 5. The protection grade of the electric push rod 7 is IP68, and a moving block is fixedly installed on one end of the electric push rod 7.

A rain sensor 9 is provided on the side surface of the protective cover 5, and the rain sensor 9 is electrically connected to the electric push rod 7.

[0030] When not in use, the protective cover 6 covers the surface of the filter plate 3 to protect the filter plate 3. When it rains, the rain sensor 9 senses the rain and automatically starts the electric push rod 7. The electric push rod 7 drives the moving block to move through the support rod 8 connected above, thereby rotating the protective cover 6 and separating it from the upper surface of the filter plate 3, so that the device can collect rainwater normally.

[0031] A threaded groove is provided at the bottom of the rainwater delivery pipe 1, a threaded pipe is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded groove, and a rainwater storage bottle 10 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the threaded pipe.

[0032] After the rainwater storage bottle 10 has collected the rainwater, the rainwater storage bottle 10 is removed from the bottom of the rainwater delivery pipe 1 by rotating the threaded tube, placed in a volumetric bottle, marked and taken back to the laboratory for analysis.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
