[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This rainwater harvesting cistern operates by having a motor started by staff. The motor drives a threaded rod, which in turn moves a sweeping frame. Simultaneously, the sweeping frame moves a brush, cleaning debris and impurities from the filter screen. This cleaning prevents excessive accumulation of impurities on the filter screen, ensuring its continuous and effective interception of leaves, branches, mud, and other impurities from rainwater. This maintains good filtration performance, keeping the rainwater entering the cistern relatively clean, thus extending the filter screen's lifespan, saving on replacement costs and time, making the rainwater harvesting process smoother, reducing collection failures caused by filter screen problems, ensuring timely and sufficient rainwater collection, and improving the overall performance and efficiency of the rainwater harvesting system.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rainwater harvesting cistern, including a cistern body 1. A support base 2 is provided on the surface of the cistern body 1. Four fixing blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base 2. A connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to one side of each fixing block 12. A slot 10 is provided on the surface of the connecting rod 14.

The surface of the cleaning frame 8 is slidably connected to the interior of the sliding groove 6. A brush is provided at the bottom of the cleaning frame 8, which can clean the surface of the filter screen 4.

[0025] When the operator starts the motor 19, the motor 19 drives the threaded rod 28 to rotate, which in turn moves the sweeping frame 8. Simultaneously, the sweeping frame 8 moves the brush, thus cleaning the debris and impurities on the surface of the filter screen 4. Cleaning the filter screen 4 prevents excessive accumulation of impurities, ensuring its continuous and effective interception of various impurities such as leaves, branches, and mud in rainwater, maintaining good filtration performance, and keeping the rainwater entering the water cellar relatively clean. This extends the service life of the filter screen 4, saves the cost and time of replacing it, makes the rainwater collection process smoother, reduces collection failures caused by problems with the filter screen 4, ensures that the water cellar can collect rainwater in a timely and sufficient manner, and improves the overall performance and efficiency of the rainwater collection system.

[0026] The two sides of the mounting frame 3 are fixedly connected to the functional frame 9. The cross section of the functional frame 9 is U-shaped. The functional frame 9 consists of two vertical plates and one horizontal plate. The bottom of the functional frame 9 is provided with a connecting groove 13. The interior of the connecting groove 13 is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting rod 14.

[0027] The functional frame 9 has a limiting groove 15 inside, and the cross-section of the limiting groove 15 is Z-shaped. Two fixed plates 16 are slidably connected inside the limiting groove 15, and a gear 20 is rotatably connected inside the limiting groove 15. The gear 20 is located between the two fixed plates 16. The side of the fixed plate 16 near the gear 20 is provided with teeth. The fixed plate 16 is meshed with the surface of the gear 20 through the teeth. One end of the gear 20 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 21. A first spring 17 is fixedly connected inside the limiting groove 15. The end of the first spring 17 near the fixed plate 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed plate 16. The fixed plate 16 can compress and reset the first spring 17. The side of the fixed plate 16 near the slot 10 is inserted into the inside of the slot 10.

[0028] Functional blocks 27 are fixedly mounted on the surface of functional frame 9. A fixing groove 11 is provided on one side of functional block 27. The cross-section of fixing groove 11 is cross-shaped. A through groove 5 is provided inside functional block 27. The inside of through groove 5 communicates with the inside of fixing groove 11. One end of rotating rod 21 rotates through the inside of functional frame 9 and extends into the inside of through groove 5. A cylinder 25 is provided at one end of rotating rod 21. A pull plate 24 is fixedly connected to the end of cylinder 25 near rotating rod 21. A pull groove 22 is provided inside rotating rod 21. The surface of pull plate 24 is slidably connected to the inside of pull groove 22. A second spring 23 is fixedly connected inside pull groove 22. The end of second spring 23 near pull plate 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of pull plate 24. Second spring 23 can be compressed and reset by the movement of pull plate 24. A handle 26 is fixedly connected to the end of cylinder 25 away from rotating rod 21. The surface of handle 26 is slidably connected to the inside of fixing groove 11.

[0029] When the operator pulls handle 26, handle 26 moves cylinder 25, which in turn moves pull plate 24, causing handle 26 to slide out of the fixing groove 11. Rotating handle 26 then rotates cylinder 25, which in turn rotates pull plate 24, which in turn rotates rotating rod 21. Rotating rod 21 then rotates gear 20. Gear 20, through meshing with teeth, moves fixing plate 16, causing it to slide out of slot 10. At this point, handle 26 slides back into the fixing groove 11, fixing plate 16 in place and allowing the operator to fix the other side. Plate 16 slides out of slot 10, at which point mounting frame 3 can be removed. To fix mounting frame 3, pull handle 26 and rotate it in the opposite direction to insert fixing plate 16 into slot 10, thus fixing mounting frame 3. By installing and removing mounting frame 3, filter screen 4 can be cleaned and maintained. It can be thoroughly cleaned to remove stubborn stains and impurities that are difficult to remove during daily cleaning, restoring the optimal filtration performance of filter screen 4. At the same time, it is also convenient to conduct a detailed inspection of filter screen 4 itself, promptly detect potential damage or signs of aging, and repair or replace it, reducing maintenance and replacement costs and ensuring the normal operation of the rainwater harvesting system.

[0030] Working principle: For this type of rainwater collection cistern, the impurities in the rainwater are first filtered and blocked by the filter screen 4. The water then flows into the inside of the collection cistern body 1 for collection. The operator starts the motor 19 through the external control device. The motor 19 drives the threaded rod 28 to rotate. The threaded rod 28 drives the cleaning frame 8 to move. At the same time, the cleaning frame 8 drives the brush to move, thereby cleaning the garbage and impurities on the surface of the filter screen 4. By cleaning the filter screen 4, impurities are prevented from accumulating excessively on the filter screen 4, ensuring that it can continuously and effectively intercept various impurities such as leaves, branches, mud and sand in the rainwater, maintain good filtration performance, and keep the rainwater entering the cistern relatively clean.

[0031] By pulling handle 26, the operator moves cylinder 25, which in turn moves pull plate 24, causing handle 26 to slide out of the fixing slot 11. Rotating handle 26 then rotates cylinder 25, which in turn rotates pull plate 24, which in turn rotates rotating rod 21. Rotating rod 21 then rotates gear 20, which in turn moves fixing plate 16 relative to it through meshing. Fixing plate 16 then slides out of slot 10, allowing the mounting frame 3 to be removed. To fix the mounting frame 3, pull handle 26 and rotate it in the opposite direction to insert fixing plate 16 into slot 10, thus completing the installation of the mounting frame 3. The installation and removal of mounting frame 3 allows for the maintenance of filter screen 4.
