Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of greening irrigation facilities, specifically to an integrated sunken greening water intake and protection device. Background Technology

[0002] In landscaping maintenance, residential green space management, and public green space upkeep, green space water intake points (also known as green space water intake valves or quick-access water intake valves) are essential infrastructure, used to connect water pipes for irrigation, cleaning, and other operations. Traditional green space water intake facilities typically employ a simple valve (such as an underground ball valve or a lift-type water intake valve) paired with a ground-level valve box cover (or water intake device protection box).

[0003] However, this traditional design and application model has many significant flaws in practice, seriously affecting ease of use, effective resource utilization, facility safety management, and the health of surrounding vegetation. Specifically, these flaws manifest in the following aspects:

[0004] Severe water splashing from the water intake valve: When the valve is opened to connect to the water pipe or to use water directly, the high-speed water flow impacts the valve outlet and pipe wall, easily causing violent splashing. This not only wastes precious water resources, but more importantly, the splashing water wets the operator's clothes and shoes, especially in cold seasons or windy weather, causing great discomfort and inconvenience to the operator, reducing work efficiency and the work experience.

[0005] Excessive humidity in the surrounding environment leads to lawn death: Water splashes from valves and unavoidable minor leaks when connecting / disconnecting water pipes continuously soak the soil and air around the valves, resulting in excessively high humidity in the local microenvironment. This chronically damp environment is extremely detrimental to the growth of lawns or other ground cover plants above and around the valves. On the one hand, excessive water directly soaks the plant roots, easily causing root rot; on the other hand, high humidity inhibits root respiration and may induce fungal diseases. Ultimately, this leads to frequent bald patches, yellowing, and even large-scale death of the lawn directly above and around the valves, forming unsightly "bald spots" that severely damage the integrity and aesthetics of the green landscape.

[0006] Valve box covers often lack effective locking mechanisms and are easily opened without authorization: Traditional valve box covers are mostly simply designed, relying solely on their own weight or simple clips for fixation, and generally lack reliable locking functions. This makes valves extremely easy for unprofessionals (such as residents or passersby) to open at will. Unauthorized valve opening leads to a series of problems: Water abuse: Unauthorized water extraction for car washing, yard cleaning, or even commercial purposes results in significant water waste and economic losses for management units. Equipment damage risk: Improper operation by unprofessionals may damage valves or connections. Management chaos: Increased management difficulty and maintenance costs. Safety hazards: Open covers may become tripping hazards, especially at night or in low-light conditions.

[0007] The facilities are scattered, making maintenance inconvenient and affecting aesthetics: Functional components such as valves, splash guards (if any), and protective enclosures are often designed separately or simply assembled later, lacking overall integration. This not only complicates installation but also causes inconvenience for daily inspection and maintenance. Furthermore, protruding or misaligned enclosure covers affect the flatness of the ground and the overall aesthetic appeal.

[0008] In summary, existing green space water intake facilities have significant shortcomings in terms of splash protection, protection of surrounding vegetation, prevention of unauthorized use (locking security), and overall aesthetic integration. There is an urgent need for an innovative solution that can highly integrate water intake function, splash protection, vegetation protection, secure locking, and environmental harmony into a single unit, employing a sunken design to better blend into the surrounding environment. This would fundamentally address the aforementioned pain points and improve the efficiency, management level, and environmental friendliness of green space water intake facilities. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated submerged greening water intake and protection device, which aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and solve the problems that the existing greening water intake facilities have significant deficiencies in terms of anti-splash performance, protection of the health of surrounding vegetation, and prevention of unauthorized use.

[0010] Therefore, this utility model proposes an integrated sunken greening water intake and protection device, including: a rectangular metal box without a bottom plate, the top plate of which is provided with a ring array of drainage holes and water intake holes, and the edge of the top plate is provided with an upward-turned edge, which together with the top plate forms a water storage cavity;

[0011] A valve box fitted onto the outside of the water intake valve.

[0012] The drain pipe extends to the ground level and is directly opposite the drain hole.

[0013] The cover plate is hinged to the top plate via a hinge mechanism.

[0014] The cylindrical lock on the cabinet door, installed on the cover plate, allows the lock tongue to rotate to below the water intake hole, creating mechanical interference.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the side plate of the metal box is provided with a first clearance groove and a second clearance groove, and the horizontal section of the drain pipe passes through the second clearance groove.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the hinge mechanism is a ball hinge, and its rotation axis is higher than the plane of the top plate; at the same time, a pad is provided at the bottom of the cover plate to keep the cover plate horizontal when closed.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, it also includes planting soil filled between the metal box and the valve box.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the bottom of the valve box is supported by a brick foundation and the inside is filled with a gravel layer.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the drainage holes are multiple circular holes distributed in a ring array.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the flange extends vertically upward to a height of 1-2cm, forming a closed cavity that intercepts water splashes.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the diameter of the water intake hole is smaller than the horizontal cross-section of the valve box, thereby limiting the water splash range.

[0022] The integrated sunken greening water intake and protection device provided by this utility model solves the problem of micro-splash water residue through a flanged water storage chamber and annular drainage hole; it achieves physical anti-violence and anti-abuse double insurance through a small-diameter water intake hole and mechanical interference locking tongue; and it breaks through the traditional box cover operation space limitation through a ball hinge double degree of freedom opening. The drainage pipe (6) actively discharges seepage water, fundamentally solving the problem of root rot caused by excessive soil moisture around traditional valves.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the integrated sunken greening water intake and protection device of this utility model includes: a metal box 1, a valve box 2, planting soil 3, a brick foundation 4, a gravel layer 5, a drainage pipe 6, and a water intake valve 8; the valve box 2 is fitted outside the water intake valve 8, the bottom of the valve box 2 is supported by the brick foundation 4, and a gravel layer 5 is added inside the valve box 2 for reinforcement. The drainage pipe 6 is located on the horizontal side of the valve box 2, and the upper end of the drainage pipe 6 extends to the ground plane 7. The rectangular metal box 1 without a bottom plate is fitted above the drainage pipe 6 and the valve box, and the middle is filled with planting soil 3.

[0032] The metal box 1 has a drain hole 17 on its top plate 11 that is opposite to the upper end of the drain pipe 6 and a water intake hole 18 that is opposite to the valve box 2. The side plate of the metal box 1 has a second clearance groove that is opposite to the horizontal section of the drain pipe 6 and a first clearance groove 15 that is opposite to the water inlet pipe of the water intake valve 8. At the same time, a cover plate 12 is provided above the water intake hole 18. The cover plate 12 is connected to the top plate 11 by a hinge mechanism 14, and a cabinet door cylindrical lock 13 is installed on the cover plate 12.

[0033] Specifically, the hinge mechanism 14 between the cover plate 12 and the top plate 11 of the metal box 1 is a ball hinge. By setting the ball hinge, the cover plate 12 can be opened upward and then rotated in the horizontal direction, so as to avoid interference between the cover plate 12 and the top plate 11 during the opening process.

[0034] A cabinet door cylindrical lock 13 is installed on the cover plate 12. The locking tongue of the cabinet door cylindrical lock can rotate to below the water intake hole 18 to form mechanical interference, thereby locking the cover plate 12. At the same time, since the rotation axis of the hinge mechanism 14 is higher than the plane of the top plate 11, a pad 19 is provided at the end of the cover plate 12 near the cabinet door cylindrical lock 13 in order to keep the cover plate 12 horizontal when closed.

[0035] The diameter of the water intake hole 18 is smaller than that of the horizontal cross-section of the valve box 2, thus limiting the range of water splashing. Part of the water splashed obliquely by the water intake valve 8 is blocked in the inner cavity of the valve box 2, while most of the seepage water quickly infiltrates through the bottom gravel layer 5 and is guided to the depth of the soil through the side drainage pipe 6, preventing surface water accumulation.

[0036] The top plate 11 has outwardly extending flanges 16 around its perimeter. The flanges 16 extend vertically upward to a height of 1-2 cm, forming a water storage cavity at the top of the metal box 1. Water splashed out from the water intake hole 18 stays in this cavity and then flows into the drain pipe 6 through the drain hole 17. The drain hole 17 is composed of several small round holes arranged in a ring array.

[0037] In another embodiment, in order to achieve a rotatable connection between the cover plate 12 and the top plate 11, the hinge mechanism can also be a flat hinge or a hinge, and only the position of the mounting hole needs to be adjusted to avoid interference between the cover plate 12 and the top plate 11.

[0038] The working principle and process of the integrated sunken greening water intake and protection device of this utility model are briefly described below.

[0039] When the operator opens the water intake valve 8 for greening irrigation: rotate the cabinet door cylindrical lock 13 to disengage the lock tongue from below the water intake hole 18; the cover plate 12 is first vertically lifted and then horizontally rotated open through the hinge mechanism 14; the water intake pipe connector is connected to the water intake valve 8.

[0040] At the connection between the water intake pipe joint and the water intake valve 8, the oblique splashing water flow is blocked by the inner wall of the valve box 2, and the water that seeps into the valve box 2 quickly seeps down through the gravel layer 5; a small amount of water that penetrates the water intake hole 18 is intercepted by the water storage cavity formed by the top plate flange 16, and the water accumulated in the water storage cavity flows into the drain pipe 6 through the annular drain hole 17, and is finally discharged into the deep soil.

[0041] After the cover plate 12 is closed, the pad block 19 abuts against the top plate 11 to maintain a horizontal state; the metal box 1 covered by the planting soil 3 is flush with the ground surface to ensure the normal growth of the lawn.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
