Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rainwater harvesting technology, specifically a rainwater harvesting and reuse device for buildings. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing severity of global water scarcity and the deepening development of green building concepts, the demand for rainwater harvesting and reuse technologies in the construction industry is becoming more and more urgent. Rainwater harvesting and reuse devices can effectively collect, store, and treat natural precipitation, converting it into non-potable water for use in construction, greening irrigation, road washing, and other scenarios. This reduces dependence on municipal water supply, realizes the recycling of water resources, and combines economic benefits with environmental value.
[0003] Currently, most rainwater harvesting and reuse devices for buildings on the market adopt a fixed structure design. Components such as collection pipes and storage tanks are permanently connected through welding or bolting, or buried within the building foundation or walls. While these devices can achieve basic rainwater collection and storage functions, they have significant limitations in practical applications. On the one hand, fixed structures are difficult to adapt to the site layout and construction cycle requirements of different building projects, and cannot be quickly moved to new construction areas or renovated building scenarios. On the other hand, when the device malfunctions or requires maintenance or upgrades, the fixed connections are difficult to disassemble, requiring significant manpower and resources for removal and reinstallation, severely impacting efficiency. Furthermore, for temporary buildings and mobile construction projects, devices lacking quick-disassembly capabilities cannot meet the requirements for flexible deployment and rapid evacuation, greatly limiting the application scope of rainwater harvesting and reuse technology. Therefore, developing a rainwater harvesting and reuse device for buildings with quick disassembly and assembly capabilities has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of building water conservation technology.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a rainwater collection and reuse device for buildings. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art, a rainwater harvesting and reuse device for buildings is proposed.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A rainwater collection and reuse device for buildings, comprising a base plate; a protective sleeve is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate; mounting holes are opened on the surface of the base plate; a collection mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the protective sleeve; a docking mechanism is provided on the top of the protective sleeve; a clamping mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve; a collection assembly is provided on the top of the sleeve; a protective assembly is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve; and a disassembly assembly is provided on the surface of the sleeve; the collection mechanism includes... The device includes a water tank, a drain outlet, and a retaining ring. The water tank is slidably installed on the inner wall of a protective sleeve. Several sets of drain outlets are arranged in a ring on the top surface of the water tank and the protective sleeve. The top of the water tank is fixedly installed with the retaining ring, which is movably engaged with the protective sleeve. The use of the water tank and the retaining ring enables quick installation and disassembly, effectively improving installation speed. The drain outlet prevents the water tank from becoming too full. When the water level reaches its capacity, excess water can be drained to prevent damage to the water tank due to excessive water pressure.
[0007] Preferably, the docking mechanism includes a clamping plate, a slot, and a sleeve. The clamping plate is provided in four sets, and the four sets of clamping plates are fixedly installed in a ring on the top of the protective sleeve. The bottom of the sleeve surface is provided with a slot, and the sleeve is movably inserted into the clamping plate through the slot. In this solution, the cooperation between the clamping plate and the slot enables the sleeve to have quick installation and disassembly functions.

[0010] Preferably, the protective component includes a waterproof ring and a filter screen. The waterproof ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the collection hopper, and the filter screen is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the sleeve. In this design, the waterproof ring can prevent rainwater from flowing to the rotating ring and spring surface during use, so that the clamping mechanism will not come into direct contact with water, thereby preventing the spring from rusting. The filter screen can filter the water entering the water tank, preventing harmful substances in the rainwater from affecting the quality of the reused water.
[0011] Preferably, the disassembly assembly includes a sliding groove and a push rod. The sliding groove is formed on both sides of the sleeve surface near the rotating ring. The push rod is fixedly installed on both sides of the rotating ring surface near the sliding groove. The push rod is located in the sliding groove formed on both sides of the sleeve and is slidably installed with the sleeve. In this design, the cooperation between the sliding groove and the push rod enables the collection bucket to be quickly disassembled during use.

[0024] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a rainwater collection and reuse device for buildings includes a base plate 1; a protective sleeve 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1, and an installation hole 3 is opened on the surface of the base plate 1; a collection mechanism 4 is provided on the inner wall of the protective sleeve 2, and a docking mechanism 5 is provided on the top of the protective sleeve 2; a clamping mechanism 6 is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 53, and a collection component 7 is provided on the top of the sleeve 53; a protective component 8 is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 53, and a disassembly component 9 is provided on the surface of the sleeve 53; the collection mechanism 4 includes a water tank 41, a drain outlet 42, and a retaining ring 43, and the water tank 41 is slidably installed on the protective sleeve 53. The inner wall of cylinder 2 has several sets of drain outlets 42, which are arranged in a ring on the top of the surface of water tank 41 and protective sleeve 2. The top of water tank 41 is fixedly installed with retaining ring 43, which is movably engaged with protective sleeve 2. The docking mechanism 5 includes a retaining plate 51, a slot 52, and a sleeve 53. There are four sets of retaining plates 51, which are fixedly installed in a ring on the top of protective sleeve 2. The bottom of the surface of sleeve 53 has a slot 52, through which sleeve 53 is movably inserted into retaining plate 51. The clamping mechanism 6 includes a rotating ring 61, retaining teeth 62, and a fixing plate 63. Along with spring 64, rotating ring 61 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the inner wall of sleeve 53. A groove is provided on the top of rotating ring 61. Four sets of retaining teeth 62 are provided, and the four sets of retaining teeth 62 are fixedly mounted in a ring on one side of the groove on the top of rotating ring 61. A fixing plate 63 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of sleeve 53 near rotating ring 61. The side of fixing plate 63 away from retaining teeth 62 is fixedly mounted to spring 64. The end of spring 64 away from fixing plate 63 is fixedly mounted to rotating ring 61. Collection assembly 7 includes insert blocks 71 and collection hopper 72. Four sets of insert blocks 71 are provided, and the four sets of insert blocks 71 are fixedly mounted in a ring. At the bottom of the collecting hopper 72, the insert block 71 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the sleeve 53 and is movably engaged with the locking teeth 62. The protective component 8 includes a waterproof ring 81 and a filter screen 82. The waterproof ring 81 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the collecting hopper 72, and the filter screen 82 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the sleeve 53. The disassembly component 9 includes a sliding groove 91 and a push rod 92. The sliding groove 91 is opened on both sides of the surface of the sleeve 53 near the rotating ring 61. The two sides of the surface of the rotating ring 61 near the sliding groove 91 are fixedly installed with the push rod 92. The push rod 92 is located in the sliding groove 91 opened on both sides of the sleeve 53 and is slidably installed with the sleeve 53.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the cooperation between the water tank 41 and the retaining ring 43 enables quick installation and disassembly, effectively improving installation speed. The opening of the drain port 42 prevents the water tank 41 from being overfilled. When the water level in the water tank 41 reaches its capacity, excess water can be drained to prevent damage to the water tank 41 due to excessive water pressure. The cooperation between the retaining plate 51 and the slot 52 enables the sleeve 53 to have quick installation and disassembly functions. The sleeve 53 provides space for the clamping mechanism 6 and the collection component 7, and also facilitates user maintenance of the clamping mechanism 6 and the protective component 8. The cooperation between the rotating ring 61 and the retaining teeth 62 enables the quick clamping of the insert block 71, allowing it to automatically clamp and preventing the collection hopper 72 from falling off during use. The cooperation between the fixing plate 63 and the spring 64 pushes the rotating ring 61 to keep it in the designated position. The design allows the rotating ring 61 to automatically lock in place. The insertion block 71, in conjunction with the collecting hopper 72, enables quick insertion through the locking mechanism 6, improving installation speed and preventing loosening during use. The large opening of the collecting hopper 72 allows for the collection of more rainwater. The waterproof ring 81 prevents rainwater from flowing onto the rotating ring 61 and spring 64, ensuring the locking mechanism 6 doesn't directly contact water and preventing rust on the spring 64. The filter screen 82 filters the water entering the water tank 41, preventing harmful substances in the rainwater from affecting the quality of the reused water. The sliding groove 91, in conjunction with the push rod 92, allows for quick disassembly of the collecting hopper 72 during use. This design enables both quick installation and quick disassembly, saving time during handling and relocation.
[0027] Working principle: During operation, first place the base plate 1 on a flat surface. Then, the user fixes the base plate 1 to the building through the mounting hole 3. Next, the user picks up the drain outlet 42 and aligns it with the inner wall of the protective sleeve 2, then places it inside the inner wall of the protective sleeve 2. After placement, align the slot 52 on the surface of the sleeve 53 with the retaining plate 51 on the top of the protective sleeve 2, and insert it downwards into the inner wall of the retaining plate 51. Finally, the user picks up the collection hopper 72 and aligns the insert block 71 with the inner wall of the sleeve 53, then inserts it downwards. When the insert block 71 is inserted to a certain depth, its bottom bevel will be pushed to one side by the retaining teeth 62, causing the rotating ring 61 to rotate. As the rotating ring 61 rotates, the spring 64 will be compressed until the insert block 71 is installed in place. The elasticity of the spring 64 will be released, pushing the rotating ring 61 to rotate and reset. After the rotating ring 61 resets, it will drive the retaining plate 61 to rotate and reset. The tooth 62 moves to engage with the groove of the insert 71, achieving a quick connection. During use, the funnel-shaped design of the collection hopper 72 can collect more rainwater. Then, when the rainwater flows downward and passes through the filter screen 82, it will be filtered to prevent impurities in the rainwater from entering the water tank 41. Finally, the filtered rainwater will flow into the water tank 41 for storage. As the water tank 41 accumulates over a long period of time, the water level inside will slowly rise. When the water level rises to a certain level, the excess water will be discharged out through the drain outlet 42. When disassembly is required, the user only needs to hold the two sets of push rods 92 and rotate the push rods 92 clockwise to drive the rotating ring 61 to rotate. After the rotating ring 61 rotates clockwise, it will drive the locking tooth 62 to move, so that the locking tooth 62 will no longer lock the insert 71. At that time, the user only needs to lift the collection hopper 72 upward by hand.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
