Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water lifting devices, and in particular to a buoyancy-driven water lifting device. Background Technology
[0002] In today's society, the rational use and acquisition of water resources are crucial in many real-life scenarios; whether in the field of agricultural production, such as farmland irrigation in vast rural areas, or in the daily water supply of some specific regions, each faces its own challenges.
[0003] However, in many remote rural areas, the lack of adequate power infrastructure, unstable power supply, and high costs make it difficult for traditional power-driven water lifting equipment to operate efficiently and continuously, severely restricting agricultural production and the convenience of residential water use. Meanwhile, in some ecologically fragile areas, such as ecological farms and nature reserves, people have extremely high demands for environmental protection. The carbon emissions and potential environmental pollution caused by traditional energy-driven water lifting methods contradict the ecological protection concepts of these areas, limiting their application. Furthermore, for individual farmers and small production units in economically underdeveloped areas, the high cost of equipment purchase and subsequent maintenance is a major obstacle to their access to water resources. In view of these problems in real-life scenarios, this paper proposes a buoyancy-driven water lifting device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of carbon emissions and potential environmental pollution caused by traditional energy-driven water lifting methods in the prior art, as well as the problem of high prices of energy-driven water lifting devices, and to propose a buoyancy-driven water lifting device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A buoyancy-driven water lifting device includes a float, a hinge frame, and a pumping cylinder. The extension lines of the hinge frame and the pumping cylinder intersect each other. The end of the hinge frame is hinged to the top of the float, and the head of the hinge frame is hinged to a third hinge seat. The ends of the pumping cylinder are respectively hinged to the top of the ends of the hinge frame.
[0007] The pumping cylinder is mainly composed of a cylinder, a rod, and a piston. The first end of the cylinder is hinged to a fourth hinge seat, which is fixedly connected to a third hinge seat. The first end of the rod is slidably connected to the cylinder through the piston. The piston in the cylinder has a first water chamber and a second water chamber on both sides, respectively. The first water chamber in the cylinder has a first inlet and a first outlet. The inlet of the first inlet is fixedly connected to a first one-way inlet valve, and the inlet of the first one-way inlet valve is fixedly connected to a second pumping pipe. The outlet of the first outlet is fixedly connected to a first one-way outlet valve, and the outlet of the first one-way outlet valve is fixedly connected to a second delivery pipe.
[0008] Preferably, the round rod slides through the second water chamber in the cylinder in a sealed manner. The end of the second water chamber is provided with a second water inlet and a second water outlet. The inlet of the second water inlet is fixedly connected to a second one-way water inlet valve. The inlet of the second one-way water inlet valve is fixedly connected to a first water pumping pipe. The outlet of the second water outlet is fixedly connected to a second one-way water outlet valve. The outlet of the second one-way water outlet valve is fixedly connected to a first water delivery pipe.
[0009] Preferably, a number of wind vanes are vertically connected to the upper surface of the pontoon.
[0010] Preferably, a first hinge seat is provided between the end of the hinge frame and the upper surface of the float.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a buoyancy-driven water lifting device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. Energy saving and environmental protection: In today's era of advocating sustainable development and increasing environmental awareness, this buoyancy water lifting device uses the buoyancy that is ubiquitous in the natural environment as a power source. It does not consume traditional energy sources such as electricity and fuel oil, thus avoiding carbon emissions and energy cost issues caused by energy use. It fully complies with the concept of energy saving and environmental protection, and is especially suitable for remote areas with unstable power supply or inconvenient energy access, as well as ecological farms, nature reserves and other places with high environmental protection requirements. It provides a green and low-carbon solution for the water needs of these areas.
[0015] 2. Low cost: The main components of this utility model, such as the float, hinge, and pumping cylinder, are made of relatively simple and common materials, without the need for complex and expensive electronic equipment or precision mechanical parts. This not only reduces the manufacturing cost of the buoyancy-driven water lifting device, but also reduces the cost of later maintenance and repair. For some economically underdeveloped areas or individual users, it is an economical water lifting option. For example, in some small-scale farmland irrigation, farmers can make or purchase this low-cost water lifting device to reduce agricultural production costs and improve economic efficiency.
[0016] 3. Easy installation and strong adaptability: The overall structure of this buoyancy water lifting device is simple and not overly restricted by terrain and water source conditions. The connection between the various components is relatively simple and easy to understand, and it does not require professional large-scale installation equipment or complex installation techniques. In many water sources in real life, such as small ponds, streams, or even small water storage tanks in family courtyards, users can easily install the device in a suitable location according to specific usage scenarios and needs. The installation height of the device can also be flexibly adjusted according to changes in water level, allowing for quick commissioning and saving installation time and labor costs.
[0017] 5. Stable and reliable operation: Adopting a mature mechanical structure and simple water flow control valves reduces potential failure points in complex electronic control systems. During long-term use, this buoyancy water lifting device exhibits high stability and is not easily affected by external electromagnetic interference, severe weather, or other factors. It can continuously and stably provide water lifting services to users, ensuring the continuity and stability of water use, reducing the risk of water interruption due to equipment failure, and improving the convenience of life and production.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 A buoyancy-driven water lifting device includes a float 1, a hinge 4, and a pumping cylinder.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 The float 1 floats on the water surface. Its shape and material have good buoyancy characteristics and can float up and down with the rise and fall of the water surface. Several wind plates 2 are vertically connected to the upper surface of the float 1. The wind plates 2 can assist the float 1 in bearing force in windy conditions and enhance its movement effect. Of course, when there is no wind, the subsequent actions are mainly achieved by the buoyancy change of the float 1 itself.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The end of the hinge frame 4 is hinged to the upper surface of the float 1 through the first hinge seat 3. The hinge frame 4 has a triangular structure, which helps to stably transmit force and ensure the smooth operation of the device. The first end of the hinge frame 4 is hinged to the third hinge seat 12. The third hinge seat 12 is fixedly installed on the fixed support surface such as the riverbank or the edge of the pool, so that the hinge frame 4 can rotate with the third hinge seat 12 as the fulcrum.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The pump cylinder is mainly composed of a cylinder 7, a rod 6, and a piston 14. A second hinge seat 5 is provided between the end of the rod 6 and the end of the hinge frame 4, so that the hinge frame 4 can effectively drive the rod 6 to perform corresponding reciprocating motion during rotation. The first end of the cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the third hinge seat 12 through the fourth hinge seat 13, ensuring a stable relative position between the cylinder 7 and the hinge frame 4 and cooperating with the rotation of the hinge frame 4. The first end of the rod 6 is slidably connected to the cylinder 7 through the piston 14, so that the piston 14 can move inside the cylinder 7 with the movement of the rod 6, thereby changing the space size of different chambers inside the cylinder 7. A first water chamber 15 and a second water chamber 16 are respectively provided on both sides of the piston 14 in the cylinder 7.
[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first water chamber 15 has a first inlet 19 and a first outlet 17 at its head end. The inlet of the first inlet 19 is fixedly connected to a first one-way inlet valve 20. The inlet of the first one-way inlet valve 20 is fixedly connected to a second pumping pipe 11. The end of the second pumping pipe 11 is located in the water source below the float 1 for pumping water from the water source. The outlet of the first outlet 17 is fixedly connected to a first one-way outlet valve 18. The outlet of the first one-way outlet valve 18 is fixedly connected to a second water delivery pipe 9. The end of the second water delivery pipe 9 is located in a pre-set water collection container for conveniently transporting water to the place where it needs to be collected.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The round rod 6 slides through the second water chamber 16 in the cylinder 7 in a sealed manner. The end of the second water chamber 16 is provided with a second water inlet 23 and a second water outlet 21. The inlet of the second water inlet 23 is fixedly connected to a second one-way water inlet valve 24. The inlet of the second one-way water inlet valve 24 is fixedly connected to a first water pumping pipe 10. The end of the first water pumping pipe 10 is also placed in the water source below the float 1 for water intake. The outlet of the second water outlet 21 is fixedly connected to a second one-way water outlet valve 22. The outlet of the second one-way water outlet valve 22 is fixedly connected to a first water delivery pipe 8. The end of the first water delivery pipe 8 is also set in a preset water collection container.
[0031] It should be noted that the first one-way outlet valve 18, the first one-way inlet valve 20, the second one-way outlet valve 22, and the second one-way inlet valve 24 are all check valves of the prior art. They can ensure that the water flows in the set direction, prevent backflow, and thus ensure the normal operation of the entire pumping and water delivery process.
[0032] In this utility model, when the float 1 moves up and down with the rise and fall of the water level, it will drive the first end of the hinge 4 to rotate along the third hinge seat 12. Since the extension lines of the hinge 4 and the pumping cylinder intersect each other, the rotation of the hinge 4 will drive the pumping cylinder to extend and retract.
[0033] Specifically, when the round rod 6 moves to the left and approaches the head end of the cylinder 7, the inner space of the first water chamber 15 shrinks. During this process, the water in the inner cavity of the first water chamber 15 will be transported to the second water supply pipe 9 through the first one-way water outlet valve 18 under pressure, and then flow into the preset water collection container. At the same time, when the round rod 6 moves to the left and approaches the head end of the cylinder 7, the inner space of the second water chamber 16 increases, which will form a negative pressure. Under the action of pressure difference, the water source below the float 1 is drawn into the second water chamber 16 through the second one-way water inlet valve 24 and the first water pumping pipe 10.
[0034] When the round rod 6 moves to the right and approaches the end of the cylinder 7, the inner space of the first water chamber 15 expands, generating negative pressure. At this time, water is pumped through the first one-way inlet valve 20 and the second pumping pipe 11, drawing water from the water source below the float 1 into the first water chamber 15. Simultaneously, the inner space of the second water chamber 16 shrinks, and the water inside is pumped through the second one-way outlet valve 22 and the first water delivery pipe 8 under pressure, ultimately delivering the water to the preset water collection container.
[0035] By continuously raising and lowering the float 1 along with the water level, driving the hinge 4 to rotate, and continuously repeating the above-mentioned extension and corresponding pumping and water delivery actions, the water at the water source below the float 1 can be continuously lifted and transported to the preset water collection container, thus realizing the function of lifting water by buoyancy.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
