[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is based on the technical solution of the present invention and provides detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0029] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0030] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the flow optimization device for the secondary water supply tank in this embodiment includes one or more retractable guide plates 1 installed inside the secondary water supply tank, as well as a guide plate fixing bracket 2 and a guide plate storage bracket 3 that cooperate with the retractable guide plate 1. The retractable guide plate 1 includes a telescopic folding plate 11, a fixing plate 12, a first fixing magnet 13, and a hanging ring 14. The guide plate fixing bracket 2 and the guide plate storage bracket 3 are respectively installed on the inner walls of both sides of the secondary water supply tank or reservoir along the telescopic direction of the retractable guide plate 1. One end of the telescopic folding plate 11 is fixed to the guide plate storage bracket 3 in the telescopic direction, and the other movable end is provided with an L-shaped fixing plate 12. The first fixing magnet 13 is provided at the end of the fixing plate 12.

[0033] Furthermore, the guide plate fixing bracket 2 is provided with a fixing groove that matches the L-shaped fixing plate 12, and a second fixing magnet 21 with the opposite polarity to the first fixing magnet 13 is provided in the fixing groove.

[0034] Furthermore, the deflector storage bracket 3 includes a support plate for storing the foldable retractable deflector 1, and a third fixed magnet 31 with the opposite polarity to the first fixed magnet 13 is provided at the end of the support plate.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, when the retractable guide plate 1 is unfolded, its movable end L-shaped fixing plate 12 is installed in the fixing groove of the guide plate fixing bracket 2 and is magnetically fixed by the first fixing magnet 13 and the second fixing magnet 21. At this time, the telescopic folding plate 11 forms multiple folds perpendicular to the telescopic direction, which helps guide the liquid flow and avoids short-circuiting.

[0036] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, when the retractable guide plate 1 is folded, the retractable guide plate 1 is stored on the support plate of the guide plate storage bracket 3, and the L-shaped fixing plate 12 at the movable end of the retractable guide plate 1 is magnetically fixed to the second fixing magnet 21 by the first fixing magnet 13.

[0037] Furthermore, the retractable guide plate 1 is attached to the inner wall of the pool or tank on one side perpendicular to the extension direction, and the retractable guide plate 1, the guide plate fixing bracket 2, and the guide plate storage bracket 3 are tilted toward the side away from the inner wall of the pool or tank. The vertical height of the side away from the inner wall of the pool or tank is lower than the vertical height of the side attached to the inner wall of the pool or tank, so as to allow the liquid to flow toward the middle of the secondary pool or tank.

[0038] Furthermore, the secondary water supply tank is equipped with multiple retractable guide plates 1. Two adjacent retractable guide plates 1 are respectively attached to the inner walls of opposite sides of the secondary water supply tank, and the width of the retractable guide plate 4 is greater than half the width of the tank or pool, so as to optimize the flow pattern inside the secondary water supply tank.

[0039] Furthermore, a lifting ring 14 is provided above the fixing plate 12 to facilitate the unfolding and folding of the retractable guide plate 1.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] As another specific embodiment of this utility model, the main body of the secondary water supply tank flow optimization device in this embodiment is the same as that in Embodiment 1, the difference being that, as Figure 6 As shown, when the retractable guide plate 1 is unfolded, the folding plate 11 on the side away from the secondary water supply tank has a smaller folding distance at its center than the folding distance on both sides. Through this design, the retractable guide plate 1 can draw liquid from both sides towards the center, further reducing short-circuiting and minimizing dead water zones.

[0042] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
