Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater harvesting technology, specifically a rainwater harvesting device for use in landscape gardens. Background Technology

[0002] A garden is a beautiful natural environment and recreational space created by using engineering technology and artistic means in a certain area, through modifying the terrain (or further building mountains, stacking rocks, and managing water), planting trees and flowers, constructing buildings, and arranging garden paths.

[0003] However, in landscape architecture, rainwater harvesting devices are designed to facilitate the irrigation of green plants. Current rainwater harvesting methods often use funnels to draw rainwater in, which then passes through a filter to remove impurities such as leaves. However, these leaves, after being washed by rainwater, still retain a significant amount of moisture on their surface, making it difficult to collect and resulting in water waste. Therefore, we offer a rainwater harvesting device for landscape architecture to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a rainwater collection device for use in landscape gardens.

[0012] Furthermore, an annular plate is provided inside the inner cylinder at a position below the sealing plate, and the outer surface of the annular plate is fixedly connected to the inside of the inner cylinder.

[0013] (iii) Beneficial effects:

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this rainwater harvesting device for landscape architecture has the following advantages:

[0015] I. This utility model, through the cooperation of a collection box, a feeding hopper, an inner cylinder, and a discharging hopper, allows rainwater from the garden to flow into the inner cylinder through the feeding hopper, while leaves and other impurities can enter the inner cylinder. The rainwater entering the outer cylinder can then flow into the collection box through the discharging hopper, thus completing the collection of rainwater. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the material handling mechanism and the power mechanism, the inner cylinder can rotate at high speed under the action of the power mechanism. This high-speed rotation of the inner cylinder causes water inside leaves and other impurities to be thrown out, thereby collecting the water inside the leaves and other impurities. This solves the problem of leaves still having a large amount of moisture on their surface after being washed by rain, which is difficult to collect and thus leads to the waste of some water resources.

[0016] Second, this utility model, through the cooperation between the annular plate, the sealing plate and the inner cylinder, under the action of the annular plate, can limit the downward movement distance of the sealing plate, so that the sealing plate can be located below the filter holes on the side wall of the inner cylinder, thereby enabling better removal of moisture from the leaves.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a rainwater collection device for landscape gardens, including a collection box 1, an outer cylinder 2 fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 1, and a feeding hopper 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2. The feeding hopper 3 has filter holes arranged in a circular array inside, so that rainwater can flow into the interior of the outer cylinder 2, thereby realizing the collection of rainwater.

[0024] Below the feeding hopper 3 is an inner cylinder 4, and the side wall of the inner cylinder 4 is also provided with filter holes arranged in a circular array, so that the rainwater inside the inner cylinder 4 can flow into the collection box 1, while leaves and other impurities can be left inside the inner cylinder 4.

[0025] The inner cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the frame 8. The outer surface of the frame 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2. Here, the frame 8 supports the inner cylinder 4, so that the inner cylinder 4 will not shake when rotating at high speed, and thus makes the inner cylinder 4 more stable when rotating at high speed.

[0026] A material-receiving mechanism 5 is provided above the collection box 1 at the position of the inner cylinder 4. The material-receiving mechanism 5 includes a sealing plate 501. The outer surface of the sealing plate 501 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 4. An annular plate 9 is provided inside the inner cylinder 4 below the sealing plate 501. The outer surface of the annular plate 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the inner cylinder 4. Under the action of the annular plate 9, the downward movement distance of the sealing plate 501 can be limited, so that the sealing plate 501 can be located below the filter holes on the side wall of the inner cylinder 4, thereby better removing moisture from the leaves.

[0027] Two support rods 502 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sealing plate 501. An arc-shaped plate 503 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 502 away from the sealing plate 501. A sliding rod 504 is provided on the bottom surface of the arc-shaped plate 503 on both sides of the two support rods 502. A vertical cylinder 505 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the sliding rod 504. The bottom surface of the vertical cylinder 505 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the collection box 1.

[0028] Here, by moving the arc plate 503 upward, the support rod 502 can be moved upward, which in turn drives the sealing plate 501 to move upward. The upward movement of the sealing plate 501 can clean out impurities such as leaves inside the inner cylinder 4.

[0029] A sliding plate 506 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 504 inside the vertical cylinder 505. The outer surface of the sliding plate 506 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical cylinder 505. A spring 507 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 504 inside the vertical cylinder 505. One end of the spring 507 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 506, and the end of the spring 507 away from the sliding plate 506 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vertical cylinder 505. When the arc plate 503 moves upward, it can cause the sliding rod 504 to move upward. The upward movement of the sliding rod 504 can cause the sliding plate 506 to move upward. At this time, the spring 507 can generate elastic force. Under the action of the elastic force, the sliding plate 506 and the arc plate 503 are more convenient to reset, which in turn makes it easier for the sealing plate 501 to reset.

[0030] The inner cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the outside of the hopper 6. The outer surface of the hopper 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2. A power mechanism 7 is provided below the hopper 6.

[0031] The power mechanism 7 includes a motor 701. The output shaft of the motor 701 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner cylinder 4. A frame 702 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the motor 701. A hollow cylinder 703 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the frame 702. The inner wall of the hollow cylinder 703 is slidably connected to the surface of the inner cylinder 4. A bracket 704 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hollow cylinder 703. The outer surface of the bracket 704 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the collection box 1. Here, the bracket 704 supports the hollow cylinder 703 and, under the action of the hollow cylinder 703, supports the motor 701, making the motor 701 more stable during use. At the same time, the motor 701 can drive the inner cylinder 4 to rotate at high speed, which can cause rainwater on leaves and other impurities inside the inner cylinder 4 to be thrown out.

[0032] Working principle: When the equipment is in use, rainwater first flows into the outer cylinder 2 through the feeding hopper 3, and at the same time, it can also carry impurities such as leaves into the inner cylinder 4, which can collect the leaves and other impurities. At the same time, the rainwater flowing into the outer cylinder 2 can enter the collection box 1, thus realizing the collection of rainwater. Meanwhile, the leaves and other impurities entering the inner cylinder 4 are driven by the motor 701, which can make the inner cylinder 4 rotate at high speed. At this time, the rainwater inside the inner cylinder 4 can be thrown into the outer cylinder 2 and then flow into the collection box 1. When there are a lot of leaves and other impurities inside the inner cylinder 4, the upward movement of the arc plate 503 can drive the sealing plate 501, thereby removing the leaves and other impurities from the inside of the inner cylinder 4.
