[0020] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present utility model provides a fountain, which includes a water storage tank buried underground, a base provided on the top surface of the water storage tank, a first support member rotatably connected to the base, a second support member rotatably connected to the middle portion of the first support member, and a rotation axis of the first support member is parallel to a rotation axis of the second support member;

[0022] A water tank is fixed to the first support member and the second support member. The water tank is provided with a water spraying device. The water tank pipeline is connected to a water pump. The water pump is arranged in the water tank and connected to the base. The base is provided with a first motor, and the first motor is used to drive the first support member to rotate.

[0023] Specifically, a water pump and a large amount of water are stored in the water tank, and the water tank provided on the first support member is connected to the water pump through a pipeline, and the water tank provided on the second support member is connected to the water tank provided on the first support member through a pipeline, thereby realizing the connectivity of the pipelines, and the water pump can pump the water in the water tank into the two water tanks in sequence, and spray it out through the water spraying device on the water tank; and the end of the first support member is rotatably connected to the base, and the first motor drives the first support member to rotate, and drives the rotation of the second support member, so that the direction position of the water spraying device can be continuously adjusted, thereby realizing continuous changes in the sprayed water column, making a more complex and changeable fountain effect, and thus improving the viewing effect.

[0024] In some embodiments, the base is rotatably connected to the water tank, a second motor is provided on the top of the water tank, and an output end of the second motor is provided with a gear inside the water tank to drive the base to rotate.

[0025] Specifically, the second motor can drive the base to rotate about its own axis, thereby driving the first and second supports to rotate about the central axis of the base. This allows for further adjustment of the position and orientation of the water spray device, achieving more complex and varied fountain effects. In addition to driving the base through gears, the second motor can also drive the base through structures such as belts.

[0026] In some embodiments, the first and second support members have an H-shaped cross-section, and the water tank is secured within a recessed portion of the first or second support member on a side of the first or second support member away from the water tank. The first and second support members effectively protect the water tank, preventing it from being dented or damaged by external forces. Furthermore, the first and second support members support and secure the water tank, allowing the water spray device on the water tank to move with the movement of the first and second support members.

[0027] In some embodiments, the water spraying device includes a main water spray head, auxiliary water spray heads, and a spray head. The auxiliary water spray heads and the spray heads are alternately arranged on the side of the water tank away from the first support member or the second support member, and the main water spray head is arranged on the end surface of the water tank away from the base. The main water spray heads, auxiliary water spray heads, and the spray heads are each provided with a corresponding control valve. During a fountain show, the main water spray heads, auxiliary water spray heads, and the spray heads in the water spraying device can spray water sequentially, staggered, or synchronously according to a pre-programmed sequence, thereby creating a variety of complex and diverse fountain effects. The timing of the water column and water mist spraying can be achieved by computer-controlled opening of each control valve at different times, achieving precise and reliable results.

[0028] In some embodiments, a connecting rod is provided between the first support member and the second support member, and the connecting rod is rotatably connected to both the first support member and the second support member; the connecting rod is hollow and has a connecting pipe inside, and the connecting pipe is used to connect the two water tanks. Specifically, after the water pump pumps the water in the water tank into the water tank on the first support member, the water in the first water tank can enter the water tank on the second support member through the pipe provided in the middle of the connecting rod under the action of pressure to be stored in the water tank for subsequent spraying. The use of a pipe connecting the two water tanks ensures that the pressure in the two water tanks is consistent, and the shape of the water column and water mist sprayed by the two water spraying devices can also be consistent. In conjunction with the rotation of the base and the first and second support members, a better fountain effect can be created.

[0029] In some embodiments, a lighting assembly is provided on the side of the first support member facing away from the second support member, and on the side of the second support member facing away from the first support member. The lighting assembly includes a plurality of light beads arranged along the length of the first support member or the second support member. The lighting assembly can be combined with the water mist to create a hazy effect, and can also add brilliant colors to the water mist and water column, thereby further enhancing the visual appeal of the fountain. Specifically, the light beads in the lighting assembly can emit different colors according to a pre-designed design, and can also change colors according to the timing and state of the water mist spray, or light up one by one in a marquee pattern to coordinate with the auxiliary sprinkler head and the spray head.

[0030] In some embodiments, a wear-resistant pad is provided on the end of the second support member that contacts the water tank. The wear-resistant pad prevents direct contact between the second support member and the water tank, protecting the water tank and the second support member from wear and tear. It also reduces noise generated when the second support member moves across the water tank.

[0031] In some embodiments, a filter device is further provided within the water tank, the output of which is connected to the input of the water pump. The filter device filters the water in the tank to prevent impurities in the water from affecting the efficiency of the water pump and the sprinkler, and preventing impurities from clogging the sprinkler and causing damage.

[0032] In some embodiments, the sidewall of the water storage tank is uniformly distributed with multiple water inlets, each equipped with a filter screen. An annular recovery plate is fixed to the sidewall of the water storage tank below the water inlets. The recovery plate is used to recover the sprayed water back into the water storage tank. Water sprayed by the water spraying device falls onto the recovery plate, where it is collected and ultimately fed into the water storage tank through the water inlet for subsequent reuse, thereby improving water recycling efficiency and conserving water.

[0033] In some embodiments, the recovery plate is tilted, with the height of the plate farther from the water tank being higher than the height of the plate closer to the water tank. The upper surface of the recovery plate is paved with pebbles. The tilt of the recovery plate facilitates the faster collection of the sprayed water into the water tank, accelerating the water return rate, thereby meeting the pump's pumping and spraying requirements and achieving rapid water circulation. The pebbles provide a preliminary filter for the sprayed water, preventing larger waste and other debris from moving to the water inlet and clogging it. The filter at the water inlet filters medium-sized impurities, preventing these impurities from entering the water tank.

[0034] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a fountain, which fixes a water spraying device on a first support member and a second support member, and the first support member and the second support member can rotate on the water tank, so that the direction and position of the water spraying device can be continuously adjusted. By setting the rotation speed and further coordinating the pressure and timing of the water column and water mist spraying, a more complex and changeable fountain effect can be produced, and the continuous change of the trajectory of the water column and water mist is achieved. The water column and water mist can move with the movement of the first support member and the second support member, thereby providing a more flexible fountain performance and improving the viewing effect of the fountain landscape.

[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
