[0043] Example 1

[0044] See also Figure 1 — Figure 3 This embodiment provides a landscape tower with the function of collecting and purifying rainwater, comprising:

[0045] A viewing platform 1, and a support column 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the viewing platform 1;

[0046] Also includes:

[0047] The collecting unit has an expanded state and a collapsed state. When the collecting unit is in the expanded state, it is used to collect rainfall on the top of the viewing platform 1;

[0048] A driving unit, used for driving the collection unit to switch between an expanded state and a collapsed state;

[0049] The drainage unit is used to transport and discharge the rainwater collected by the collection unit. The drainage unit is located inside the support column 2;

[0050] The filtering unit filters the rainwater discharged by the drainage unit. The filtering unit is located below the collection unit.

[0051] The present embodiment provides a landscape tower with the function of collecting and purifying rainwater. The designed collection unit can collect rainwater when it rains. At the same time, the driving unit can drive the collection unit to fold and unfold as a whole. Finally, under the action of the filtering unit and the drainage unit, the collected rainwater can be filtered and transported. The rainwater is collected for subsequent use, which saves costs, simplifies the volume of the rainwater collection device, and avoids the situation where the rainwater collection device affects the aesthetics of the landscape tower when it is not raining.

[0052] On the basis of the above embodiment, the present embodiment provides a collection unit in a landscape tower with the function of collecting and purifying rainwater, comprising a fixed column 3 fixedly mounted on the top of an observation platform 1, a fixed ring 10 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed column 3 at one end near the observation platform 1, a plurality of mounting rods 6 equidistantly distributed around the circumference of the outer wall of the fixed ring 10, a rain shield 4 fixedly mounted on one side of the plurality of mounting rods 6 near the observation platform 1, an inner cavity is formed in the interior of the fixed column 3 at one end away from the observation platform 1, a lifting disk 8 is slidably mounted in the inner cavity, a connecting rod 7 is hingedly mounted between the outer wall of the lifting disk 8 and the middle part of each mounting rod 6, and the plurality of connecting rods 7 all slide through the cylindrical surface of the fixed column 3 in the vertical direction;

[0053] The rain shield 4 is fixed to several mounting rods 6 by a fixing belt. The connecting rod 7 slides up and down with the lifting plate 8, thereby driving the several mounting rods 6 and the rain shield 4 to move. The connecting rod 7 passes through the cylindrical surface of the fixing column 3 so that the connecting rod 7 and the fixing column 3 will not interfere with each other during the folding process of the rain shield 4.

[0054] The drive unit includes a power motor 9 fixedly mounted inside the end of the fixed column 3 away from the viewing platform 1. The output end of the power motor 9 is fixedly mounted with a drive screw 14, and the other end of the drive screw 14 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the inner cavity. The lifting plate 8 is coaxially mounted with an internal threaded cap, and the drive screw 14 is threadedly assembled with the internal threaded cap.

[0055] The power motor 9 and the driving screw 14 can drive the lifting plate 8 to slide in the inner cavity, and the power motor 9 meets the demand of automatic folding and unfolding of the rain shield 4.

[0056] The drainage unit includes a drainage port opened on the top of the fixing column 3 near the fixing ring 10. A drainage cavity is opened inside the fixing column 3. The drainage port is connected to the upper end of the drainage cavity, and the lower end of the drainage cavity passes through the outer wall of the support column 2.

[0057] The drain outlet is used to guide the rainwater collected by the rain shield 4 into the interior of the drainage cavity. The drain outlet is located on the top of the fixing column 3 near the fixing ring 10, avoiding the situation where the liquid level of the rainwater inside the rain shield 4 is lower than the drain outlet, resulting in the rainwater not being collected in place.

[0058] The filter unit includes an operating window located in the middle of the drainage chamber. A detachable sealing arc window 12 is installed inside the operating window to seal the operating window. A detachable filter cartridge 13 is installed inside the drainage chamber and is located on one side of the drainage chamber near the sealing arc window 12.

[0059] The operating window is conducive to the maintenance and replacement of the filter cartridge 13, which filters the rainwater inside the drainage cavity. The sealing arc window 12 assembled inside the operating window prevents the rainwater inside the drainage cavity from leaking.

[0060] The filter cartridge 13 includes a cartridge body, a filter screen and a filter element inside the cartridge body;

[0061] The filter screen is located on the top of the filter element. Rainwater passes through the filter screen first and then through the filter element, which can filter out larger impurities first, avoiding impurities clogging the filter element and reducing its filtration efficiency, thereby extending the service life of the filter element.

[0062] A fixing hoop 11 is fixedly provided on the outside of the fixing ring 10, and the fixing hoop 11 is used to seal and fix the bottom of the rain shield 4 and the top of the fixing ring 10;

[0063] The fixing hoop 11 plays a role in fastening the connection portion between the rain shield 4 and the fixing ring 10 , thereby preventing rainwater inside the rain shield 4 from leaking.

[0064] Lubricant is applied between the outer wall and the inner cavity of the lifting plate 8, the hinge of the connecting rod 7, and the hinge of the mounting rod 6 and the fixing ring 10;

[0065] The lubricant allows the components in the collection unit and the components in the drive unit to move more smoothly, while avoiding wear between the components. The lubricant has waterproof properties, so that the lubricant will not be affected by rain.

[0066] The inner cavity is not connected to the drainage cavity, and the inner cavity is located above the drainage cavity;

[0067] The inner cavity and the drainage cavity are separated, which prevents rainwater inside the drainage cavity from increasing the moisture in the inner cavity, thereby causing the driving screw 14 to rust.

[0068] Working principle:

[0069] When there is no need to collect rainwater, the lifting plate 8 is located at the upper end of the inner cavity, so that the connecting rod 7 and the mounting rod 6 are retracted on the outer surface of the fixing column 3, and the rain shield 4 fixed to the mounting rod 6 is retracted as a whole and becomes cylindrical.

[0070] When it is necessary to collect rainwater, the staff wirelessly controls the opening and closing of the power motor 9 through the monitoring switch or network device, so that the power motor 9 drives the driving screw 14 to rotate, prompting the lifting plate 8 to slide downward, thereby driving the connecting rod 7 and the installation rod 6 to unfold from the outer surface of the fixed column 3 to the outside, and the rain shield 4 as a whole changes from the folded state to the unfolded state until the lifting plate 8 is against the lower end of the inner cavity. When the rain shield 4 can no longer continue to unfold outward, the staff turns off the power motor 9 to stop it. At this time, the rain shield 4 is in the shape of an inverted cone. The rainwater falling from the top of the support column 2 enters the interior of the rain shield 4, and the collected rainwater enters the drainage cavity through the drain port. Finally, the rainwater inside the drainage cavity is discharged from the outer wall of the support column 2 to the outside along the path of the drainage cavity.

[0071] The rainwater inside the drainage chamber flows downward due to its own gravity. At this time, the filter cylinder 13 in the middle of the drainage chamber filters the rainwater. The rainwater first passes through the filter mesh to filter out larger impurity particles, and then passes through the filter element to filter out tiny suspended particles. The staff can see the filter cylinder 13 through the operation window, and the staff can also disassemble the sealing arc window 12 inside the operation window.

[0072] After the rainwater collection is completed, the staff again drives the driving screw 14 to rotate in the opposite direction through the power motor 9, causing the lifting plate 8 to slide upward, thereby driving the connecting rod 7 and the mounting rod 6 to retract toward the fixed column 3. Finally, the rain shield 4 returns to its initial state and the staff turns off the power motor 9.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] See also Figure 2 , what is recorded in this embodiment is the implementation method of the dust cover 5:

[0075] A dust cover 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed column 3 , and the dust cover 5 is coaxial with the fixed column 3 . When the plurality of mounting rods 6 are folded together, the rain shield 4 is stored at the bottom of the dust cover 5 .

[0076] In this embodiment:

[0077] When rainwater collection is not required, the dust shield 5 can protect the folded rain shield 4 from dust, thereby preventing a large amount of dust from accumulating inside the rain shield 4 during next use, thereby affecting the efficiency of rainwater filtration.

[0078] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
