Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water storage equipment technology, and in particular to a rainwater collector that is easy to assemble and disassemble. Background Technology
[0002] Rainwater harvesters are devices used to collect rainwater and then supply it when needed. In northern and western my country, rainfall is scarce and water resources are relatively limited. As a natural freshwater resource, rainwater is commonly used by households to collect and utilize the rainwater they receive. Rainwater harvesters can collect rainwater for various irrigation purposes, saving water resources and improving the utilization rate of rainwater. Currently, rainwater harvesters use sheet metal collection tanks, which are heavy and inconvenient to carry and move. Inflatable plastic tanks, while easy to carry, are not safe to use. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rainwater harvester that is easy to carry and disassemble to meet users' needs. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rainwater collector that is easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The plug-in portion can slide left and right relative to the connecting rod and the fixing screw.
[0009] Beneficial effects: By opening the first through hole, both ends of the connecting rod can be inserted into the first through hole, which facilitates the connection of the support rings end to end. The fixing screw slides and fixes the insertion part to one end of the connecting rod. When the user needs to fix it, he inserts one end of the connecting rod into the first through hole in the insertion part. At this time, the insertion part is slid to the right to fix the two. Because there are 5 support rings connected end to end on the water storage cylinder, forming a closed ring, the insertion part and the connecting rod are firmly fixed and not easy to fall off.
[0010] Preferably, an annular protrusion is fixedly provided in the middle of the first through hole, and the fixing screw includes a sliding part and a limiting part. The diameter of the limiting part is equal to the diameter of the connecting rod, the diameter of the sliding part is smaller than that of the limiting part, and the annular protrusion is slidably connected to the sliding part.
[0011] Beneficial effect: By setting the diameter of the connecting rod and the limiting part to be larger than the diameter of the sliding part, the limiting part and the end of the connecting rod near the annular protrusion limit the sliding stroke of the annular protrusion.
[0012] Preferably, the connecting rod is elastic and can be bent, and both ends of the connecting rod cooperate with the first through hole.
[0013] Beneficial effect: The connecting rod is designed as a flexible arc, which makes it easy to connect the end of the support ring to form a ring to support the top of the water storage cylinder.
[0014] Preferably, the water storage cylinder has a connecting groove, and the insertion part is disposed in the connecting groove.
[0015] Beneficial effect: By opening the connecting groove, when the plug and connecting rod are assembled, the first through hole of the plug can be exposed on the top of the water storage cylinder, which makes it convenient for users to plug and fix.
[0016] Preferably, the side of the water storage cylinder is provided with a connector bag, and the support rod is inserted into the connector bag.
[0017] Beneficial effects: It can be detachably connected to the insert bag via the support rod, making it convenient for users to disassemble and install.
[0018] Preferably, the horizontal plane of the water collection port is lower than the top of the water storage cylinder, and the water collection port is equipped with a filter screen.
[0019] Beneficial effects: By installing a filter screen at the water inlet, rainwater is filtered of impurities as it enters the water storage cylinder. The water inlet's horizontal level is lower than the top of the water storage cylinder, allowing rainwater falling on the top of the cylinder to collect downwards at the water inlet.
[0020] Preferably, the water storage cylinder has a first water outlet and a second water outlet on its side.
[0021] Beneficial effects: By opening two water outlets on the side of the water storage cylinder, users can draw water from the bottom or top collector according to actual usage.
[0022] Preferably, the support rod includes a first support rod, a second support rod, and a fixing member, wherein the first support rod and the second support rod are inserted into both ends of the fixing member.
[0023] Beneficial effects: The first and second support rods can be detachably connected to the fixing parts, making it convenient for users to disassemble and store, reducing the volume to carry.
[0024] Preferably, a water collection cover is provided on the top of the water storage cylinder, and the water collection cover is movably connected to the water storage cylinder.
[0025] Beneficial effect: By opening a water collection cover at the top of the water storage cylinder, users can open the water collection cover with a zipper to facilitate cleaning the inside of the water storage cylinder. Attached Figure Description
