[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] See also Figures 1-4 , shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a rainwater collection and utilization device of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1-4 , a rainwater collection and utilization device is introduced in detail.

[0027] A rainwater collection and utilization device includes a box body 100, a water inlet 110 is opened on the top of the box body 100, and the upper end of the water inlet 110 is connected to a water collecting bucket 111 that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The upper edge of the water collecting bucket 111 is provided with an outer filter 112, and the edge of the water collecting bucket 111 is hingedly provided with a top cover 113 for covering the water collecting bucket 111. The inner cavity of the box body 100 is located below the water inlet 110 and is suspended with an inner filter 120 that is tilted lower on the left and higher on the right. On rainy days, the top cover 113 can be opened, and rainwater falls into the water collecting bucket 111 and enters the box body 100 through the water inlet 110. The outer filter 112 is mainly used to prevent large objects from falling into the water collecting bucket 111. In addition, since the outer filter 112 is set outside, it is convenient to clean. The aperture of the inner filter 120 is smaller than that of the outer filter 112, so that the outer filter 112 does not easily drip due to its small aperture. The inner filter 120 is equivalent to filtering the collected rainwater again.

[0028] The inner cavity of the box body 100 is provided with a rotating shaft 200, and a cam 210 is provided on the rod body of the rotating shaft 200. The rotating rotating shaft 200 drives the rotating shaft 200 to collide with the right side of the inner filter 120. The rear side wall of the box body 100 is provided with a waterproof motor 220. The output shaft of the waterproof motor 220 rotates and passes through the rear side wall of the box body 100 and is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating shaft 200. A fixing bracket 230 is provided on the right side wall of the inner cavity of the box body 100. The front end of the rotating shaft 200 is rotatably set at the left end of the fixing bracket 230 through a bearing 240. A rubber strip is provided on the outer ring of the cam 210. The clockwise rotating cam 210 collides with the right side of the bottom wall of the inner filter 120. After the rotating shaft 200 and the cam 210 are driven to rotate clockwise by the waterproof motor 220, the cam 210 collides with the right side of the bottom wall of the inner filter 120, causing the inner filter 120 to vibrate accordingly, thereby reducing the clogging of the inner filter 120.

[0029] The inner cavity of the box body 100 is located below the inner filter 120 to store the water collecting box 300. The side wall of the box body 100 is provided with a water outlet faucet 310 for draining water and connected to the inner cavity of the water collecting box 300. The joint of the water outlet faucet 310 directly penetrates the outer wall of the box body 100. The outer wall of the box body 100 is opened with a hole for installing the water outlet faucet 310. The joint of the water outlet faucet 310 and the water collecting box 300 are screwed, that is, the inner and outer walls of the water collecting box 300 are opened with matching screw holes. In this way, after rotating the water outlet faucet 310, it can be separated from the water collecting box 300, which is convenient for cleaning the water collecting box 300 after taking it out of the box body 100.

[0030] The inner cavity of the box body 100 is located in the lower left extending direction of the inner filter 120 to store the impurity collection box 320. Rainwater drips onto the inner filter 120 through the water inlet 110 and falls into the water collection box 300 through the holes of the inner filter 120. When the user needs to use rainwater for watering flowers or mopping the floor, he can open the water tap 310.

[0031] The front, rear and right sides of the upper edge of the top of the inner filter 120 are all protruding with a stop bar 121, which can block and hinder impurities, so that larger impurities can move along the inclined inner filter 120. The left end of the upper edge of the stop bar 121 is hinged with a fixed rod 130, and the top of the fixed rod 130 is fixedly set under the top wall of the inner cavity of the box body 100. The right end of the upper edge of the stop bar 121 is hinged with a telescopic rod 140, and the top of the telescopic rod 140 is hinged under the top wall of the inner cavity of the box body 100. The telescopic rod 140 includes a fixed cylinder 141 at the upper end, and a slide groove 143 is opened in the inner cavity of the fixed cylinder 141. A movable rod 142 is slidably set in the slide groove 143. The lower end of 42 protrudes from the slide groove 143, and the top end is located in the slide groove 143 and is provided with a convex plate 144. The diameter of the convex plate 144 is larger than the diameter of the movable rod 142. A vertical spring 145 is provided between the inner top wall of the slide groove 143 and the top wall of the fixed cylinder 141. When the cam 210 hits the right side of the bottom wall of the inner filter 120, the right end of the inner filter 120 is slightly lifted. At this time, the inner filter 120 rotates about the hinge axis at the bottom end of the fixed rod 130, and the total length of the spring 145 is also compressed. After the cam 210 leaves the inner filter 120, the spring 145 pushes the movable rod 142 to return to its original position, and the cam 210 hits the inner filter 120 again. After the reciprocating cycle, the inner filter 120 vibrates.

[0032] The front side wall of the box body 100 is provided with an opening in front of the water outlet faucet 310 and the impurity collection box 320. The front side wall of the box body 100 is hingedly provided with a front door 330 for sealing the opening. The front door 330 and the water collecting box 300 are respectively provided with a visual port 340 and a visual window 350. When the front door 330 is closed, the visual port 340 and the visual window 350 are aligned. The user can view the water level of the water collecting box 300 from the outside through the visual port 340 and the visual window 350. When the water level is high, the top cover 113 can be closed to stop rainwater collection. After use, the front door 330 can be opened, the impurity collection box 320 can be taken out of the box body 100, and the debris therein can be centrally processed. In addition, the water outlet faucet 310 can be rotated. After the water outlet faucet 310 is removed from the water collecting box 300, the water collecting box 300 can also be taken out of the box body 100 and its interior can be cleaned.

[0033] While the present invention has been described above with reference to specific embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as no structural conflicts exist, the various features of the embodiments disclosed herein may be combined with one another in any manner, and the omission of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is solely for the sake of space and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but encompasses all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.
