[0002] In the context of increasingly scarce global water resources, agricultural production faces severe water challenges. Orchards, as an important part of agricultural production, require huge amounts of irrigation water. Traditionally, orchard irrigation relies heavily on conventional water sources such as groundwater, rivers, and lakes. However, with the over-exploitation of water resources, these water sources are facing problems such as declining water levels and deteriorating water quality, and irrigation costs are constantly rising, placing a heavy burden on orchard management.

[0003] However, rainwater collection in orchards often uses traditional storage ponds or ditches, which lack effective filtration, resulting in a lot of impurities in the collected rainwater and making it difficult to guarantee water quality. Direct use of this water for orchard irrigation may clog irrigation equipment or have adverse effects on the growth of fruit trees. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0020] This utility model embodiment provides an orchard rainwater harvesting and utilization device, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the orchard rainwater harvesting and utilization device includes: a vertical pole 1, with a fixing plate 2 at the top of the vertical pole 1, and a water collection tank 3 for storing rainwater on the fixing plate 2; a collection hopper 4 fixedly connected to the water collection tank 3 for collecting rainwater for reuse; a mesh cover 9 assembled on the collection hopper 4 for filtering large impurities; a filter plate 10 disposed in the collection hopper 4 for filtering small impurities; a first mounting base 5 fixed on the vertical pole 1, with a mixing tank 6 disposed on the first mounting base 5, and the mixing tank 6 connected to the water collection tank 3 through a conduit 7; and a cleaning mechanism disposed on the collection hopper 4 for cleaning the mesh cover 9 and the filter plate 10.

[0021] In this embodiment, the system is installed in a suitable location within the orchard. When it rains, rainwater is first stored in the collection tank 3 on the fixed plate 2, and then collected and reused through the collection hopper 4. During the collection process, the mesh cover 9 filters large impurities, and the filter plate 10 filters small impurities, thus initially purifying the rainwater. The purified rainwater flows into the mixing tank 6 through the conduit 7, where it undergoes further processing to meet the orchard's irrigation needs.

[0022] The net cover 9 and filter plate 10 are set up to filter large and small impurities respectively, which effectively improves the water quality of collected rainwater, avoids the clogging of irrigation equipment due to a large number of impurities, ensures the normal operation of irrigation equipment, and also eliminates the adverse effects of impurities on the growth of fruit trees.

[0023] Secondly, the mixing tank 6 in the system allows the pre-filtered rainwater to be mixed and treated, further optimizing the water quality and providing a higher-quality water source for orchard irrigation. In addition, the cleaning mechanism on the collection hopper 4 can clean the mesh cover 9 and filter plate 10, ensuring the continuous functioning of the filtering components and guaranteeing the long-term stable and efficient operation of the system, achieving efficient collection and utilization of rainwater in the orchard.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism includes: a bracket 11 fixed on the collection hopper 4, a first rotating rod 12 mounted on the bracket 11 via bearings; a fan 18 mounted on the first rotating rod 12; a second mounting base 13 fixed on the first rotating rod 12, a cleaning brush 14 fixed on the second mounting base 13 via bolts; a second rotating rod 15 mounted on the collection hopper 4 via bearings, the second rotating rod 15 being fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 12 via a coupling; and a scraper 16 fixed at the bottom end of the second rotating rod 15 for cleaning impurities on the filter plate 10.

[0025] In this embodiment, during the operation of the orchard rainwater harvesting and utilization device, after the rainwater is filtered by the net cover 9 and the filter plate 10, the cleaning mechanism begins to function. The wind turbine 18 drives the first rotating rod 12 to rotate under the action of wind power. The first rotating rod 12 drives the second rotating rod 15 to rotate via a coupling. At this time, the cleaning brush 14 mounted on the second mounting base 13 on the first rotating rod 12 cleans the net cover 9, while the scraper 16 fixed at the bottom of the second rotating rod 15 cleans the impurities on the filter plate 10, thus achieving automatic cleaning of the filtering components.

[0026] The cleaning mechanism greatly enhances the system's automation level. Driven by wind power, the impeller 18 eliminates the need for an additional power unit, enabling the sweeping brush 14 and scraper 16 to clean the mesh cover 9 and filter plate 10 respectively. This reduces manual maintenance costs and frequency, lowers manpower input, and improves the ease of system operation.

[0027] Meanwhile, the continuous cleaning by the cleaning brush 14 and scraper 16 can effectively prevent impurities from accumulating on the mesh cover 9 and filter plate 10, ensuring that the filter components always maintain a good filtration effect, guaranteeing the high efficiency of rainwater collection and purification, further optimizing the overall performance of the system, and enabling the orchard rainwater collection and utilization device to operate more stably and for a longer period of time, providing a reliable guarantee for orchard irrigation.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a protruding plate 19 is fixed inside the water collection tank 3, and the top of the protruding plate 19 is lower than the water inlet end of the conduit 7.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the orchard rainwater harvesting and utilization device is running, rainwater is first stored in the collection tank 3 on the fixed plate 2. The convex plate 19 inside the collection tank 3 causes the rainwater entering the collection tank 3 to form a special water flow path around the convex plate 19. Since the top of the convex plate 19 is lower than the water inlet end of the conduit 7, the rainwater will only flow into the mixing tank 6 through the conduit 7 after it has accumulated to a certain height and overflowed the convex plate 19. During this process, the convex plate 19 can block some larger impurities from settling at the bottom of the collection tank 3, preventing them from entering the conduit 7 with the rainwater, and working together with the mesh cover 9 and the filter plate 10 to ensure the water quality entering the mixing tank 6;

[0030] The convex plate 19 effectively reduces the risk of the conduit 7 being blocked by large impurities. By changing the rainwater flow path, large impurities have more opportunities to settle at the bottom of the water collection tank 3, reducing the possibility of them entering the conduit 7 and mixing tank 6, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of water throughout the system and reducing equipment failures and maintenance work caused by blockages.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a water intake pipe 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 6, and valves are provided on both the water intake pipe 8 and the conduit 7.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the orchard rainwater harvesting and utilization device is running, rainwater is stored in the collection tank 3 and flows into the mixing tank 6 for treatment through the conduit 7. When rainwater in the mixing tank 6 needs to be used for orchard irrigation, the valves on the water intake pipe 8 and the conduit 7 can be opened, and the rainwater will flow out through the water intake pipe 8 for irrigation; if it is not needed or the processing process needs to be paused, the valves can be closed to stop the flow of rainwater, thus achieving flexible control over rainwater intake and transmission.

[0033] The installation of the water intake pipe 8 and valves effectively enables precise control over the rainwater extraction process. By opening and closing the valves, the flow rate and timing of rainwater flowing out of the mixing tank 6 can be controlled as needed, avoiding water waste. At the same time, the water intake can be flexibly adjusted according to different irrigation needs of the orchard, improving the rationality and effectiveness of rainwater utilization.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a drain pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the mixing tank 6, and a water valve is provided on the drain pipe 20.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the orchard rainwater harvesting and utilization device is running, if it is observed that there is a lot of sediment in the mixing tank 6, or when the system needs to be fully maintained after long-term operation, the water valve on the drain pipe 20 is opened. At this time, the mud, sand, suspended matter and other impurities deposited at the bottom of the mixing tank 6 will be discharged through the drain pipe 20 along with the sewage under the action of gravity. After the sewage discharge is completed, the water valve is closed, and the system can then receive the rainwater flowing in from the collection tank 3 through the conduit 7 and continue the mixing and utilization process.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the mixing tank 6 is provided with a feeding port, a cover plate is provided inside the feeding port, and a pull ring is fixed to the top of the cover plate.

[0037] In this embodiment, during the operation of the orchard rainwater harvesting and utilization device, when it is necessary to add water purification agents, fertilizer solutions, or other substances to the mixing tank 6 to further optimize the rainwater quality or to adjust the irrigation water suitable for fruit tree growth, the feeding port is opened by pulling the ring on the top of the cover plate, and the required substances are poured into the mixing tank 6. After the addition is completed, the cover plate is closed back to the feeding port to complete the addition operation. After that, the rainwater is fully mixed with the added substances in the mixing tank 6, and after treatment, it flows out from the water intake pipe 8 for orchard irrigation.

[0038] The top feeding port, cover plate, and pull ring of the mixing tank 6 provide a flexible way to add substances for the rainwater treatment process.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a drain trough 17 is fixed on one side of the collecting hopper 4, and a drain outlet adapted to the drain trough 17 is provided on the collecting hopper 4.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the orchard rainwater harvesting and utilization device is running, the impurities intercepted by the filter plate 10 are scraped off by the scraper 16, and the impurities fall directly into the sewage trough 17 under the action of gravity and are discharged, which can realize the discharge of impurities in the collection hopper 4.

[0041] In summary, compared with related technologies, this system, through the combination of a water collection tank 3, a collection hopper 4, a mesh cover 9, a filter plate 10, and a convex plate 19, achieves multi-stage filtration to improve rainwater quality and prevent impurities from clogging irrigation equipment. The cleaning mechanism, driven by a wind turbine 18, automatically cleans the filter components using a sweeping brush 14 and a scraper 16, reducing manual maintenance. The mixing tank 6 adds substances through a feeding port to optimize water quality, and, in conjunction with the water intake pipe 8 and valves, achieves precise water intake. The sewage pipe 20 and sewage trough 17 promptly discharge impurities, preventing secondary pollution. The entire system reduces labor costs and equipment failure risks, provides clean and suitable irrigation water for orchards, and significantly improves rainwater utilization efficiency and orchard management benefits.
