[0016] In order to provide a further understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0017] See also Figure 1 A rainwater collection and building water storage system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a water diversion trough 1, a water pipe 2, and a water storage tank 3. The water diversion trough 1 is arranged on the eaves of the house, and the end of the water pipe 2 passes through the upper and lower surfaces of the water diversion trough 1. The end of the water pipe 2 is located on the left side of the upper surface of the water diversion trough 1, and the water storage tank 3 is connected to the bottom end of the water pipe 2.

[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, the water pipe 2 includes a water pipe body 201 and a cover body 204 . The top of the water pipe body 201 is a conical water pipe 205 . The end of the conical water pipe 205 is a water inlet 206 . The outer surface below the conical water pipe 205 is provided with an external thread 207 .

[0019] like Figure 5As shown, the top of the cover 204 is a filter 202 , and the inner surface of the lower end of the cover 204 is provided with an internal thread 208 . The cover 204 and the water pipe body 201 are connected together through the external thread 207 and the internal thread 208 .

[0020] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the water channel 1 is provided with a slope structure. The left side of the upper surface of the water channel 1 is low, which is the bottom of the slope structure, and the right side of the upper surface of the water channel 1 is high, which is the top of the slope structure. With this design, when rainwater flows into the water channel 1 on rainy days, it will automatically flow into the left side of the upper surface of the water channel 1 due to the influence of the slope structure, and then flow into the water pipe 2.

[0021] Preferably, a baffle 203 is provided in the center of the cover 204. The baffle 203 vertically overlaps with the water inlet 206, and the area of the baffle 203 is larger than the area of the water inlet 206. This design prevents solid waste that can pass through the filter 202 from directly entering the water inlet 206, further accumulating the solid waste between the conical water pipe 205 and the inner wall of the cover 204, thereby filtering small solid waste.

[0022] Preferably, the height of the cover 204 is 2CM greater than the sum of the heights of the conical water pipe and the external thread 207. This design ensures that there is enough distance between the baffle 203 and the water inlet 206, so that the water inlet can play a role in water inlet.

[0023] Preferably, a water outlet 301 is provided in front of the water storage tank 3, and the water outlet 301 is closed by a rubber stopper.

[0024] When in use, the utility model is installed, first the cover 204 is screwed together with the water pipe body 201 through the external thread 207 and the internal thread 208, and the water outlet 301 of the water storage tank 3 is closed with a rubber plug; on rainy days, rainwater and solid waste flow into the water diversion trough 1. Affected by the slope structure, the rainwater and solid waste flow to the left side of the water diversion trough 1. At this time, the rainwater and solid waste are initially filtered by the filter 202, and the solid waste that cannot pass through, such as leaves, plastics and other larger solid waste, is left in the water diversion trough. In the water trough 1; then, the rainwater and small solid waste flow along the edge of the baffle 203 into the space between the conical water pipe 205 and the inner wall of the cover 204. As the rainwater accumulates, the liquid level of the rainwater between the conical water pipe 205 and the inner wall of the cover 204 rises until it reaches the position of the water inlet 206. At this time, the rainwater will flow into the water inlet 206, and the rainwater will flow along the water pipe 2 into the water storage tank 3. Solid waste such as bird droppings, pebbles and other smaller solid waste will remain between the conical water pipe 205 and the inner wall of the cover 204.

[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
