The guide ring 6 is provided with a plurality of connecting rods 7 along the circumferential direction, and one end of the connecting rod 7 away from the guide ring 6 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the U-shaped pipe 1. The number of the connecting rods 7 is four, and the connecting rod 7 is welded or adhesively fixed with the inner wall of the U-shaped pipe 1, so as to ensure the stable movement of the buoyancy rod 2 in the vertical direction, and the cover 3 can be aligned with the U-shaped pipe 1 and blocked in the case that there is no water accumulation in the U-shaped pipe 1.

[0026] The materials of the buoyancy ball 4, the buoyancy rod 2 and the cover 3 are plastic, specifically, polypropylene or high-density polyethylene injection molding is adopted, which has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, light weight and high strength, and is suitable for the environment of long-term contact with water.

[0027] The basic embodiment of the utility model is above, can make further improvement, optimization and limitation on the basis, thereby obtains each embodiment below:

[0028] Embodiment 2

[0029] This embodiment is an improved scheme based on embodiment 1, and the main structure is same with embodiment 1, and the improvement point is that:

[0030] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the limiting rod 5 is arranged on the buoyant rod 2, the length of the limiting rod 5 is greater than the inner diameter of the guide ring 6 and less than the inner diameter of the U-shaped pipe 1, and the limiting rod 5 is located below the guide ring 6, when the buoyant ball 4 is driven by water level change to make the buoyant rod 2 rise, the limiting rod 5 contacts with the guide ring 6, the limiting rod 5 cooperates with the guide ring 6 to limit the limit displacement of the buoyant rod 2, to avoid the cover 3 from separating from the U-shaped pipe 1.

[0031] Embodiment 3

[0032] This embodiment is an improved scheme based on embodiment 1, and the main structure is same with embodiment 1, and the improvement point is that:

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the blind hole 8 for the U-shaped pipe 1 to extend into is coaxially arranged at the bottom of the cover 3. The inner diameter of the blind hole 8 is not less than the outer diameter of the U-shaped pipe 1, the blind hole 8 is provided with a sealing pad at the bottom, and the material of the sealing pad is rubber.

[0034] The working process of the anti-leakage U-shaped pipe 1 device is as follows: when there is accumulated water in the closed wall, the accumulated water flows into the anti-leakage U-shaped pipe 1 from the water outlet hole, and the water level of the U-shaped pipe 1 gradually moves upward. The buoyant ball 4 starts to float upward under the buoyant force because the density of the buoyant ball 4 is less than the density of water, drives the buoyant rod 2 and the cover 3 to move upward along the vertical direction. The cover 3 separates from the opening of the U-shaped pipe 1, so that the accumulated water flows out from the opening of the U-shaped pipe 1; the buoyant rod 2 is guided by the guide ring 6 arranged on the inner wall of the U-shaped pipe 1, to ensure the verticality of the movement track and avoid deviation.

[0035] When the water in the anti-water U-shaped pipe 1 is evaporated over time, the water in the U-shaped pipe 1 disappears or the water level drops, the buoyancy ball 4 sinks due to the decrease of the buoyancy and the self gravity, the buoyancy rod 2 and the cover 3 drop, the annular snap ring 9 on the cover 3 is embedded in the annular clamping groove 10, thereby blocking the opening of the U-shaped pipe 1, preventing air from entering the airtight wall from the opening, and avoiding the oxidation and spontaneous combustion of the coal ash in the airtight wall due to contact with air.
