Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of swimming pool equipment, and specifically relates to a solar-powered fountain head and a swimming pool fountain. Background Technology

[0002] Swimming pools are dedicated spaces for people to engage in swimming or water recreation, where they can participate in activities or competitions. Due to busy work or study schedules, people often swim not only during the day but also at night. In low-light conditions or at night, pool lights provide illumination, enabling swimmers and other water activity participants to operate in a safe environment, improving safety in the pool area, and providing better visibility.

[0003] In addition, to enhance the ambiance, users are now using solar-powered fountains instead of traditional ambient lights. By using renewable solar energy, they reduce their reliance on traditional power sources and lower operating costs.

[0004] In existing solar fountain head designs, due to the shading effect caused by building height and the surrounding environment, the installation angle of solar panels is usually not horizontal, but set at a certain tilt angle. This affects the setting of the fountain nozzle, causing the fountain nozzle structure to limit the water spray height and distance, making it impossible to form an ideal fountain effect and affecting its aesthetics and practicality. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a solar fountain head and a pool fountain, optimizing the structural design of the solar fountain head to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution: a solar fountain head, including a main housing and a solar panel, wherein a detachable cover plate is provided on the top of the main housing, the solar panel is installed on the cover plate, and the solar panel is horizontally arranged; a water inlet cavity is provided inside the main housing, and a fountain nozzle arranged at intervals is provided on one side of the main housing, the fountain nozzle is connected to the water inlet cavity, and the axis of the fountain nozzle forms an acute angle with the solar panel.

[0007] In one embodiment, the included angle is 30° to 45°.

[0008] In one embodiment, the solar fountain head also includes a light strip assembly, and a light-transmitting part for light to pass through is provided on the cover plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the main housing is provided with an installation cavity, which is independent of the water inlet cavity; the installation cavity is provided with a first installation area for accommodating the light strip assembly, which is adjacent to and above the water inlet cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, the first mounting area has a groove for placing the light strip assembly, the bottom end of the groove extending toward the water inlet cavity, so that the light strip assembly can at least partially fit into the water inlet cavity.

[0011] In one embodiment, the solar fountain head further includes a main control board and a battery. The mounting cavity is also provided with a second mounting area and a third mounting area. The main control board is located in the second mounting area, and the battery is located in the third mounting area. The main control board is electrically connected to the battery, the light strip assembly is electrically connected to the main control board, and the solar panel is electrically connected to the main control board.

[0012] In one embodiment, the main housing is also provided with multiple detection terminals for detecting water flow. One end of the detection terminal extends into the water inlet cavity, and the other end is electrically connected to the main control board.

[0013] This application also proposes a pool fountain, including a water delivery assembly and a solar fountain head as described in any of the above claims, wherein the water delivery assembly and the solar fountain head are connected at the water inlet.

[0014] In one embodiment, the water supply assembly includes a transfer pipe and a water supply pipe. The inlet end of the water supply pipe is connected to the drain outlet of the pool, the outlet end of the water supply pipe is connected to the inlet end of the transfer pipe, and the outlet on the transfer pipe is connected to the inlet of the main housing of the solar fountain head.

[0015] Furthermore, the adapter includes a three-way body and two sleeves disposed at two opposite water outlet ends of the three-way body, with the side openings of the sleeves serving as the water outlets of the adapter; the sleeves are also provided with a second connector, and the main housing is provided with a first connector, and the connection between the solar fountain head and the water supply assembly is realized through the connection of the first connector and the second connector.

[0016] The beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows: the fountain nozzle is tilted relative to the solar panel, which meets the requirements for the water spray height and distance, increasing both aesthetics and practicality. When the pool fountain is in use, the solar panel is horizontal, allowing it to receive sunlight evenly throughout the day, especially under direct sunlight. This avoids uneven lighting caused by improper angles, thereby improving overall energy collection efficiency without affecting the tilted setting of the fountain nozzle.

[0017] In this application, the light source is placed in the first mounting area above the water inlet cavity, so that the light source can fit in close to the water inlet cavity. When the light source is working, the water flow that continuously enters the water inlet cavity and is sprayed out from the fountain nozzle can carry away the heat of the light source, achieving effective water cooling and heat dissipation, reducing the working temperature of the light source, reducing thermal stress, and thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0018] In this application, the light source and the fountain nozzle are positioned close together, with the light source located diagonally above the fountain nozzle. While the fountain nozzle is spraying water, the light source provides illumination, which can enhance the decorative effect of the pool fountain. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The preferred embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a solar-powered fountain head includes a main housing 1, a cover plate 2, and a solar panel 3. A removable cover plate 2 is provided on the top of the main housing 1, and the solar panel 3 is mounted on the cover plate 2. A water inlet cavity 7 extending along the length of the main housing 1 is provided inside the main housing 1. A water inlet 4 communicating with the water inlet cavity 7 is provided on the lower surface of the main housing 1. Fountain outlets 8, spaced apart along the length of the main housing 1 and communicating with the water inlet cavity, are provided on one side of the main housing 1. The axis of the fountain outlet 8 forms an acute angle α with the surface of the solar panel 3, preferably α being 30°-45°.

[0037] When in use, the solar panel 3 is horizontal, allowing it to receive sunlight evenly throughout the day, especially under direct sunlight. This avoids uneven lighting caused by improper angles, thus improving overall energy collection efficiency. Simultaneously, it does not affect the tilt setting of the fountain nozzle 8, meeting the requirements for water spray height and distance, enhancing both aesthetics and practicality.

[0038] like Figure 4 , 7As shown, the main housing 1 also has an installation cavity 9 separated from the water inlet cavity 7. The installation cavity 9 is divided into different installation areas for installing the main control board 11, battery 10, and LED strip assembly 6. During installation, the cover plate 2 is removed, and the main control board 11, battery 10, and LED strip assembly 6 are inserted from the top into the installation cavity 9 of the main housing 1 and installed in the corresponding installation areas. After installation, the cover plate 2 is fixed again. Specifically, the upper side wall of the water inlet cavity 7 is provided with a first installation area 901. On the same side of the water inlet cavity 7, a second installation area 902 and a third installation area 903 are sequentially provided along the length of the main housing. The LED strip assembly 6 is installed in the first installation area 901, the battery 10 is installed in the second installation area 902, and the main control board 11 is installed in the third installation area 903. Furthermore, the first installation area 901 has a groove 9011 for placing the LED strip assembly 6. The bottom end of the groove 9011 extends towards the water inlet cavity 7, allowing the LED strip assembly 6 to at least partially conform to the upper side wall of the water inlet cavity 7 and have a larger contact area with the water inlet cavity 7. This way, when the LED strip assembly 6 is working, the water flow continuously entering the water inlet cavity 7 and spraying out from the fountain nozzle 8 can carry away the heat of the LED strip assembly 6, achieving effective water cooling, reducing the operating temperature of the LED strip assembly 6, reducing thermal stress, and thus extending the service life of the equipment. At the same time, it can also keep the LED strip assembly 6 in a highly efficient working state, reducing energy consumption and improving overall energy efficiency. In addition, the LED strip assembly 6 is adjacent to the fountain nozzle 8 and located diagonally above the fountain nozzle 8. While the fountain nozzle 8 is spraying water, the LED strip assembly 6 provides illumination, which can enhance the decorative effect of the pool fountain.

[0039] Furthermore, the light strip assembly 6 includes a light strip plate 61 and a mounting frame 62. The light strip plate 61 is fixed on the mounting frame 62, and the mounting frame 62 is fixed in the groove 9011 of the first mounting area 901. The mounting frame 62 can protect the light strip plate 61.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the cover plate 2 is provided with a wire hole 21, and the portion of the cover plate 2 corresponding to the position of the light strip assembly 6 is provided as a light-transmitting part 22. The solar panel 3 can be electrically connected to the main control board 11 inside the main housing 1 via a wire through the wire hole 21. The main control board 11 can be electrically connected to the battery 10 via a wire, and the light strip assembly 6 can be electrically connected to the main control board 11 via a wire. The solar panel 3 converts light energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the battery 10 via the main control board 11.

[0041] In other embodiments, the cover plate 2 may be designed to be transparent to allow light from the light strip assembly 6 to escape.

[0042] Preferred, such as Figure 7 , 8As shown, the main housing 1 is also provided with a detection terminal 12. One end of the detection terminal 12 extends into the water inlet cavity 7, and the other end is electrically connected to the main control board 11 through a wire. This embodiment has two detection terminals 12. When water enters the water inlet cavity 7 from the water inlet 4, the main control board 11 can short-circuit through the water contact of the detection terminal 12 to achieve the working condition of starting the light strip assembly 6. It can be understood that the detection terminal 12 is used to realize the function of water flow detection in this embodiment. The specific working principle is: the signal strength is used to determine the water flow intensity. For example, after the external water pump is turned on, water flows into the water inlet cavity 7. At this time, the resistance between the two detection terminals 12 decreases. When the current signal is higher than the threshold, the light strip assembly 6 is started. When the external water pump is turned off, the water flow decreases, the resistance between the detection terminals 12 increases, and when the current signal is lower than the threshold, the light strip assembly 6 is turned off.

[0043] In this embodiment, the detection terminal 12 is a spring pin, and the distance between the two detection terminals 12 is set far apart. For example, in other embodiments not shown, the two detection terminals 12 can be located at both ends of the water inlet cavity 7. In this way, the resistance formed by the water flow between the two detection terminals 12 is large, which can prevent residual water from causing false triggering and starting the light strip assembly 6 to work.

[0044] For example Figure 8 As shown, the main housing 1 is also provided with a vent 13 and an annular groove 14 surrounding the vent 13. The vent 13 helps the plastic cool and solidify more evenly in the mold, reducing deformation or stress concentration caused by uneven temperature. Correspondingly, a boss 23 is provided on the inner side of the cover plate 2. The boss 23 can be fastened in the annular groove 14 and fixed with adhesive to enhance the connection between the cover plate 2 and the main housing 1. The design of the vent 13 and the boss 23 can enhance the structural strength of the water inlet cavity 7 and the cover plate 2, preventing cracking or deformation during use.

[0046] like Figure 9-12 As shown, a swimming pool fountain, in this embodiment 1000, includes a water supply component 400 and a solar fountain head 100 of embodiment 1. The water supply component 400 includes an adapter pipe 200 and a water supply pipe 300. The inlet end of the water supply pipe 300 is connected to the drain outlet of the pool side wall, and the outlet end of the water supply pipe 300 is connected to the inlet end of the adapter pipe 200. The adapter pipe 200 includes a T-joint 201 and two sleeves 202. The inlet end of the T-joint 201 is connected to the outlet end of the water supply pipe 300, and the two sleeves 202 are respectively connected to the two outlet ends of the T-joint 201. The sleeves 202 are also provided with an outlet 2022 that is connected to the inlet 4 on the solar fountain head 100.

[0047] like Figure 10 As shown, a first connector 5 is provided on the lower surface of the main housing 1 of the solar fountain head 100, and a second connector 2021 is also provided on the sleeve 202. The first connector 17 and the second connector 2021 can be locked together using screws to achieve the assembly of the solar fountain head 100 and the water supply assembly 400. It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this application and not to limit it. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the specific implementation of this application with reference to the above embodiments. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this application are within the protection scope of the pending claims.
