Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of floor drains, in particular to a floor drain for garden planting. Background Art

[0002] After searching, the Chinese utility model patent with application number 201921193625.9 discloses a drainage floor drain for garden use, including a drainage structure and an isolation structure. The isolation structure is installed on the inner side of the drainage structure. The drainage structure includes a drainage cover, a drainage bucket, a mounting seat, a pipe and a screening cover. The mounting seat is arranged on the outside of both sides of the drainage structure. The drainage bucket is welded and fixed to the inner side of the mounting seat. The pipe is fixed directly below the bottom of the drainage bucket, and the screening cover is fixedly mounted on the top of the pipe.

[0003] The inventors identified a potential improvement in the existing technology. While the pre-designed openings in the drain covers are designed to facilitate smooth water flow, they also inadvertently provide a path for debris like leaves and weeds to enter. While internal collection chambers are designed to handle this, the natural accumulation of this debris during the non-rainy season undoubtedly increases the need for regular maintenance. Frequent opening of the drain covers for cleaning is undoubtedly an additional and burdensome task for garden maintenance personnel.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model proposes a floor drain for garden planting, which effectively prevents the invasion of debris such as leaves in dry weather by improving the design of the drainage cover, thereby reducing the workload of garden maintenance personnel and improving the overall efficiency and convenience of garden management. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a garden planting floor drain to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a garden planting floor drain, comprising:

[0007] A drain cover, wherein the drain cover is provided with an open slot;

[0008] An open slot baffle, the open slot baffle corresponding to the position of the open slot, the surface of the open slot baffle is embedded with a water receiving groove, and the open slot baffle can move in the vertical direction of the drain cover;

[0009] The counterweight mechanism includes a pulley, a counterweight block and a pull rope. The pulley is rotatably installed on both sides of the open slot. The two ends of the pull rope are respectively fixedly connected to the open slot baffle and the counterweight block, and the pull rope is rollingly connected to the pulley.

[0010] Preferably, a water receiving trough cover plate is movably connected in the water receiving trough, and a spring is fixed between the water receiving trough cover plate and the bottom of the water receiving trough.

[0011] Preferably, the water receiving trough cover plate and the bottom of the water receiving trough are both provided with water leakage holes.

[0012] Preferably, a collecting frame is detachably fixed to the bottom of the drain cover.

[0013] Preferably, two J-shaped hooks are rotatably provided on both sides of the bottom of the drain cover, and two hanging grooves corresponding to the J-shaped hooks are provided on both sides of the top of the collection frame.

[0014] Preferably, the lower end of the spring is connected to the bottom of the water receiving trough via a magnet structure.

[0015] Preferably, the magnet structure includes an iron sheet fixed to the lower end of the spring and a magnet fixed to the bottom of the water receiving trough.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following benefits:

[0017] First, the utility model cleverly utilizes a counterweight mechanism, including a pulley, counterweight, and pull rope. These components work together to automatically close the open slot when it's not raining, effectively blocking the entry of debris such as leaves and weeds. This design not only reduces the accumulation of debris in the drainage system, but also avoids drainage problems caused by blockage, significantly reducing the workload and cost of subsequent maintenance and cleaning.

[0018] 2) Secondly, during rainfall, rainwater naturally flows into the trough, and as the amount of water increases, the weight of the baffle plate gradually increases. When the weight reaches a certain level, the baffle plate automatically moves downward under the influence of the rainwater's gravity, opening the trough and allowing the rainwater to drain smoothly into the ground. This process requires no human intervention, achieving intelligent drainage and improving drainage efficiency.

[0019] 3) To further prevent debris from entering the water trough, the present invention incorporates a movable trough cover and spring. When it's not raining, the spring keeps the trough cover closed, effectively blocking the entry of debris. However, when heavy rainfall occurs, the trough cover automatically moves downward under the pressure of the rainwater, allowing rainwater to enter the trough and triggering the downward movement of the open trough baffle. This design ensures smooth drainage of rainwater while preventing debris from interfering with the drainage system.

[0020] 4) Finally, to facilitate the cleaning of debris from the trough, this utility model also features a detachable collection frame and a magnet structure. The collection frame conveniently collects and centrally processes debris generated during drainage, while the magnet structure simplifies and speeds up the removal and installation of the trough cover, further enhancing maintenance convenience.

[0027] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The specific implementation methods of the present utility model are further described in detail.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model is a garden planting floor drain, comprising:

[0029] Drain cover 1, drain cover 1 is provided with an opening groove 2, the setting of the opening groove 2 is to allow rainwater on the ground to flow into the ground through the opening groove 2;

[0030] The opening groove baffle 3 corresponds to the position of the opening groove 2 and is used to block the opening groove 2. When it is not raining, the opening groove baffle 3 blocks the opening groove 2 to prevent debris such as leaves or weeds from entering the opening groove 2. The surface of the opening groove baffle 3 is embedded with a water receiving groove 4, and the opening groove baffle 3 can move in the vertical direction of the drainage cover 1. When it rains, rainwater enters the water receiving groove 4, and the opening groove baffle 3 moves downward under the action of gravity. When the opening groove baffle 3 moves downward, the rainwater can be smoothly discharged into the ground through the opening groove 2;

[0031] The counterweight mechanism 5, in order to enable the opening slot baffle 3 to move upward and reset after downward movement, includes a pulley 51, a counterweight block 52 and a pull rope 53. The pulley 51 is rotatably installed on both sides of the opening slot 2, and the two ends of the pull rope 53 are respectively fixedly connected to the opening slot baffle 3 and the counterweight block 52, and the pull rope 53 is rollingly connected to the pulley 51.

[0032] The following describes the usage of the above structure:

[0033] The utility model is a garden planting drain. When it is not raining, under the gravity of the counterweight block 52, the opening groove baffle 3 is opened. Figure 1-2 As shown, it is blocked in the opening groove 2 to prevent debris from entering the opening groove 2. When it rains, rainwater flows into the water receiving trough 4 and gradually increases, increasing the weight of the opening groove baffle 3, thereby causing the opening groove baffle 3 to automatically move downward, so that the opening groove 2 is as shown. Figure 3 As shown, the opening is opened so that rainwater can smoothly enter the open groove 2 and drain into the ground.

[0034] Furthermore, although the open trough baffle 3 can prevent debris from entering the open trough 2, due to the setting of the water receiving trough 4, it is still difficult to clean up the debris that enters the water receiving trough 4. Therefore, a water receiving trough cover plate 7 is movably connected in the water receiving trough 4, and a spring 6 is fixed to the water receiving trough cover plate 7 and the bottom of the water receiving trough 4. In this way, when it is not raining, under the action of the spring 6, the water receiving trough cover plate 7 can block the mouth of the open trough baffle 3 to inhibit the entry of debris. When the amount of rainwater is relatively large, the water receiving trough cover plate 7 will move downward in the open trough baffle 3 under the pressure of rainwater, so that rainwater enters the open trough baffle 3, and the open trough baffle 3 moves downward under the action of the gravity of the rainwater.

[0035] Specifically, the water receiving trough cover 7 and the bottom of the water receiving trough 4 are both penetrated by a drainage hole 8. It can be understood that when the amount of rainwater is relatively small, the drainage hole 8 can achieve rapid drainage. When the amount of rainwater is relatively large, the drainage hole 8 is not sufficient to drain the water quickly, so the rainwater can be gathered in the water receiving trough 4 inside the open trough baffle 3.

[0036] In some embodiments, a collection frame 9 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the drain cover 1 for collecting debris.

[0037] Two J-shaped hooks 10 are rotatably provided on both sides of the bottom of the drain cover 1, and two hanging grooves 11 corresponding to the J-shaped hooks 10 are provided on both sides of the top of the collection frame 9, which facilitates the disassembly and connection of the collection frame 9 and the drain cover 1.

[0038] Furthermore, due to the setting of the leakage hole 8, debris may enter the bottom of the water trough 4 and be difficult to clean. The lower end of the spring 6 is connected to the bottom of the water trough 4 through the magnet structure 12, so that the water trough cover 7 can be removed from the water trough 4 to clean the debris.

[0039] The magnet structure 12 includes an iron sheet 122 fixed to the lower end of the spring 6 and a magnet 121 fixed to the bottom of the water receiving tank 4 .

[0040] The working principle of the garden planting floor drain of the present invention is as follows: when it is not raining, the counterweight block 52 causes the opening groove baffle 3 to close the opening groove 2 to prevent debris from entering; when it rains, rainwater accumulates in the water receiving trough 4 and increases the weight of the opening groove baffle 3, causing the opening groove baffle 3 to automatically move downward to drain water.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
