However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present invention. The "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is separate or selectively mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] Refer to Figure 1, which is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a rainfall increasing and decreasing device, including a rain reduction area 101, a water distribution tank 102, and a rain increasing area 103. The water distribution tank 102 is arranged on one side of the rain reduction area 101, and the rain increasing area 103 is arranged on one side of the water distribution tank 102. The rain reduction area 101, the water distribution tank 102, and the rain increasing area 103 constitute the rainfall increasing and decreasing device 100.

[0028] Preferably, the water distribution tank 102 includes a first water storage tank 102a and a second water storage tank 102b separated by a partition plate 102c. The height of the partition plate 102c is lower than the depths of the first water storage tank 102a and the second water storage tank 102b. After the first water storage tank 102a is full of water, it flows into the second water storage tank 102b through the partition plate 102c. The first water storage tank 102a is used for irrigation in the rain reduction area 101, and the second water storage tank 102b is used for irrigation in the rain increasing area 103.

[0029] During use, a water distribution tank 102 is arranged between the rain reduction area 101 and the rain increasing area 103. A rain shielding shed is arranged on the soil in the rain reduction area 101 to reduce the rainfall in the rain reduction area 101, and the reduced rainfall flows into the water distribution tank 102. The water distribution tank 102 is separated into a first water storage tank 102a and a second water storage tank 102b by an intermediate partition plate 102c. After the first water storage tank 102a is full of water, it flows into the second water storage tank 102b through the partition plate 102c. When the water level in the second water storage tank 102b reaches a certain height, it can be automatically irrigated into the rain increasing area 103, thus solving the objective reality that it is difficult to obtain energy power in the wild environment and the natural environment is harsh and changeable, enabling large-area or long-term effective control of rainfall changes in the experiment.

[0030] Embodiment 2

[0031] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, the rain reduction area 101 further includes a first support frame 101a, an inclined awning 101b, and a water collection tank 101c. The inclined awning 101b is arranged on the top side of the first support frame 101a, and the water collection tank 101c is arranged on the side of the inclined awning 101b.

[0032] Preferably, the inclined awning 101b includes water guiding grooves 101b-1, and the water guiding grooves 101b-1 are evenly distributed on the inclined awning 101b.

[0033] Preferably, the water collection tank 101c includes a water pouring slope 101c-1, a water guiding hole 101c-2, and a water guiding pipe 101c-3. The water guiding hole 101c-2 is arranged on the side with a larger depth of the water pouring slope 101c-1. One end of the water guiding pipe 101c-3 is movably connected to the water guiding hole 101c-2, and the other end of the water guiding pipe 101c-3 is movably connected to the water distribution tank 102.

[0034] During use, the rain falling above the rain reduction area 101 lands on the inclined awning 101b, flows into the water collection tank 101c through the water guide groove 101b-1. One end of the water guide pipe 101c-3 is movably connected to the water guide hole 101c-2, and the other end of the water guide pipe 101c-3 is movably connected to the water distribution tank 102. The rainwater in the water collection tank 101c all flows into the water guide hole 101c-2 through the water pouring inclined surface 101c-1 and flows into the water distribution tank 102 through the water guide pipe 101c-3.

[0035] Embodiment 3

[0036] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, the first water storage tank 102a includes a water inlet hole 102a-1 and a plug 102a-2. The water inlet hole 102a-1 is arranged at the upper end of the first water storage tank 102a close to the water collection tank 101c, and the plug 102a-2 is arranged at the bottom end of the first water storage tank 102a close to the rain reduction area 101. The water inlet hole 102a-1 is hermetically connected to the water guide pipe 101c-3. When it is necessary to irrigate the rain reduction area 101, the plug 102a-2 can be pulled out.

[0037] Preferably, the second water storage tank 102b includes a limit post 102b-1, a float assembly 102b-2, an elastic member 102b-3, a sealing block 102b-4 and a depth groove 102b-5. The limit post 102b-1 is arranged on one side of the partition plate 102c, and the bottom end of the limit post 102b-1 is fixedly arranged on the bottom side of the second water storage tank 102b. The elastic member 102b-3 is sleeved on the limit post 102b-1. The preferred material of the elastic member 102b-3 is a stainless material spring. The elastic member 102b-3 can be selected with different elastic force specifications according to research needs. When it is necessary to make the rain enhancement area 103 obtain less rainwater, the elastic member 102b-3 is selected with a larger elastic force specification. When it is necessary to make the rain enhancement area 103 obtain more rainwater, the elastic member 102b-3 is selected with a smaller elastic force specification. The float assembly 102b-2 is arranged at the bottom end of the elastic member 102b-3. The float assembly 102b-2 is slidably connected to the limit post 102b-1. The float assembly 102b-2 is also arranged in the depth groove 102b-5. The sealing block 102b-4 is arranged on the float assembly 102b-2.

[0038] Further, the float assembly 102b-2 includes a float 102b-21, a connecting rod 102b-22, a positioning post 102b-23, and a counterweight 102b-24. The float 102b-21 is slidably connected to the limit post 102b-1. The connecting rod 102b-22 is disposed on the float 102b-21. The positioning post 102b-23 is disposed at one end of the connecting rod 102b-22 away from the float 102b-21. The counterweight 102b-24 is disposed at the bottom end of the positioning post 102b-23. After the water level in the second water storage tank 102b drops due to the self-weight of the counterweight 102b-24, the sealing block 102b-4 and the depth groove 102b-5 are resealed.

[0039] Further, the sealing block 102b-4 is sealingly connected to the depth groove 102b-5.

[0040] Furthermore, the depth groove 102b-5 includes a rain augmentation hole 102b-51. The rain augmentation hole 102b-51 is disposed on the depth groove 102b-5. The increased rainfall in the rain augmentation area 103 is achieved through the rain augmentation hole 102b-51. Preferably, rainwater is evenly irrigated in the rain augmentation area 103 through a water pipe.

[0041] Preferably, the rain augmentation area 103 includes a second support frame 103a. The second support frame 103a is disposed on one side of the water distribution tank 102. Preferably, a rain shield is provided at the bottom ends of the first support frame 101a and the second support frame 103a to prevent rainwater from flowing from the rain augmentation area 103 into the rain reduction area 101, thereby changing the soil composition and affecting the experimental data.

[0042] During use, the water distribution tank 102 is separated into a first water storage tank 102a and a second water storage tank 102b by an intermediate partition 102c, that is, the partition 102c divides the water distribution tank 102 into two areas A and B. The partition 102c is located in the middle of the water distribution tank 102. The rain augmentation area 103 can obtain 50% of the rainfall in the rain reduction area 101, and the rain reduction area 101 can have at most 50% of the rainfall. When the first water storage tank 102a is filled with rainwater, it flows into the second water storage tank 102b through the partition 102c. When it is necessary to make the rain augmentation area 103 obtain less rainwater, the elastic member 102b-3 is selected with a larger elastic specification. When it is necessary to make the rain augmentation area 103 obtain more rainwater, the elastic member 102b-3 is selected with a smaller elastic specification. After the water level in the second water storage tank 102b reaches the elastic limit of the elastic member 102b-3, that is, the float 102b-21 is driven by the upward buoyancy force to separate the sealing block 102b-4 from the notch of the depth groove 102b-5, so that rainwater flows out from the rain augmentation hole 102b-51. When the water level drops, the counterweight 102b-24 reseals the sealing block 102b-4 and the depth groove 102b-5 due to its self-weight, breaking through the limitations of human power, so that the experiment can be carried out on a large scale and more experimental data can be obtained.
