Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural and forestry technology, and in particular relates to a water collection device for desert afforestation. Background Technology
[0002] In arid regions, rainfall is scarce and evaporation is high. The water needed for vegetation growth is mostly provided by domestic water use, resulting in high planting costs and significant losses.
[0003] Currently, most water collection devices in desert areas are open water tanks. When it rains, the rainwater falls into the tanks for collection. However, when the weather improves, the temperature rises and the water evaporates, resulting in the loss of the collected natural precipitation. Therefore, a water collection device that can be adapted to desert climate conditions is needed to meet the water supply needs for vegetation planting in desert areas. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a water collection device for desert afforestation. The device has a simple structure, good water collection effect, and good mud-water separation effect.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a water collection device for desert afforestation, including a water collection tank, a pressure plate, a water gathering cover and a water distribution block. A water collecting plate is set on the top of the water collection tank. The lower end of the water gathering plate is tightened to form a bottleneck and connected to the tank body. The water gathering cover is suspended above the water gathering plate. The water gathering cover is funnel-shaped with the pointed end facing downwards. A water distribution block is suspended below the outlet of the water gathering cover. There is a water passage gap between the water distribution block and the water gathering plate. After the water flows through the water gathering cover, it rushes to the water distribution block and is dispersed to the water gathering plate. Then it flows through the bottleneck and into the water collection tank. A pressure plate is fixedly set on the outside of the water collection tank at the bottleneck. The surface of the pressure plate is set in the horizontal direction. The water collection tank is buried below the ground and the pressure plate is attached to the ground.
[0006] The water collection tank is fixedly equipped with a sludge discharge pipe, an interception net, and a water outlet pipe. The interception net is horizontally arranged and fixedly installed at the lower part of the inside of the water collection tank. The water outlet pipe is located inside the tank with its inlet above the interception net and its inlet facing horizontally. The sludge discharge pipe is located inside the tank with its inlet below the interception net and its inlet facing vertically downward.
[0007] The bottom plate of the water collection tank is conically arched in the middle, forming a mud collection groove at the edge of the bottom plate. The inlet of the mud discharge pipe is located in the mud collection groove.
[0008] The water outlet pipe extends from the side wall of the water collection tank, and its outlet passes through the pressure dividing plate and is set above the ground. A water pump is installed on the pipe above the ground, and a filter screen is installed on the inlet of the water outlet pipe. The sludge discharge pipe extends from the side wall of the water collection tank, and its outlet passes through the pressure dividing plate and is set above the ground. A pumping pump is installed on the pipe above the ground.
[0009] The bottom surface of the water collection cover is fixedly mounted above the water collection plate by setting multiple support columns, and the water distribution block is fixedly connected between multiple support columns by multiple connecting rods.
[0010] The water collecting cover has multiple water collecting cones protruding from its bottom surface facing the water collecting plate, with the tips of the water collecting cones pointing vertically downwards.
[0011] The water distribution block is spindle-shaped, and its axis is coaxial with that of the water collection tank.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The water collection tank of the main body of the device is set below the ground surface, which reduces heat and reduces water evaporation loss; a pressure-distributing plate is fixedly set on the outside of the water collection tank to disperse the sinking of the water collection tank due to gravity; by setting water distribution blocks, obstacles are added to the water evaporation path, which effectively reduces evaporation; the water collection cone set on the bottom surface of the water collection cover adheres to water vapor, which also reduces water vapor evaporation loss; in addition, the narrowed bottleneck of the water collection tank reduces the diameter of the water collection tank and the outside, which can also reduce the amount of evaporation; the water outlet of the water outlet pipe and the material outlet of the mud discharge pipe are both set above the ground surface, which facilitates the extraction of water and the discharge of mud.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0018] A water collection device for desert afforestation includes a water collection tank 1, a pressure-distributing plate 2, a water-gathering cover 3, and a water-distributing block 4. The water collection tank 1 is equipped with a water-collecting plate 11 at the top, and the lower end of the water-collecting plate 11 is tightened to form a bottleneck connected to the tank body. The water-gathering cover 3 is suspended above the water-collecting plate 11 and is funnel-shaped with its pointed end pointing downwards. The water-distributing block 4 is suspended below the outlet of the water-collecting cover 3. There is a gap between the water-distributing block 4 and the water-collecting plate 11 for water to pass through. After the water flows through the water-collecting cover 3, it is gathered and then flows onto the water-distributing block 4 and dispersed onto the water-collecting plate 11, and then flows through the bottleneck and into the water collection tank 1. The pressure-distributing plate 2 is fixedly installed on the outside of the water collection tank 1 at the bottleneck. The surface of the pressure-distributing plate 2 is set in the horizontal direction. The water collection tank 1 is buried below the ground, and the pressure-distributing plate 2 is attached to the ground.
[0019] The water collection tank 1 is fixedly equipped with a sludge discharge pipe 12, an interception net 13, and a water outlet pipe 14. The interception net 13 is horizontally arranged and fixedly installed at the lower part of the inner side of the water collection tank 1. The water inlet of the water outlet pipe 14 is located above the interception net 13 and is oriented horizontally. The feed inlet of the sludge discharge pipe 12 is located below the interception net 13 and is oriented vertically downward.
[0020] The bottom plate of the water collection tank 1 is conical and arched upwards in the middle, forming a mud collection groove at the edge of the bottom plate of the water collection tank 1. The inlet of the mud discharge pipe 12 is located in the mud collection groove.
[0021] The water outlet pipe 14 extends from the side wall of the water collection tank 1. The outlet of the water outlet pipe 14 passes through the pressure dividing plate 2 and is set above the ground. A water pump is installed on the pipe body of the water outlet pipe 14 above the ground. A filter screen 15 is installed on the inlet of the water outlet pipe 14. The sludge discharge pipe 12 extends from the side wall of the water collection tank 1. The discharge port of the sludge discharge pipe 12 passes through the pressure dividing plate 2 and is set above the ground. A pumping pump is installed on the pipe body of the sludge discharge pipe 12 above the ground.
[0022] The bottom surface of the water collection cover 3 is fixedly mounted above the water collection plate 11 by setting multiple support columns, and the water distribution block 4 is fixedly connected between multiple support columns by multiple connecting rods.
[0023] The water collecting cover 3 has multiple water collecting cones 31 protruding from its bottom surface facing the water collecting plate 11. The tips of the water collecting cones 31 point vertically downwards. The arrangement of the water collecting cones 31 increases the contact area between the bottom surface of the water collecting cover 3 and the water vapor, thereby improving the water collecting cover 3's ability to intercept water vapor. At the same time, the vertically downward-pointing tips of the water collecting cones 31 facilitate the water vapor to gather into water droplets and fall back into the water collecting plate 11.
[0024] The water distribution block 4 is configured in a spindle shape, and the axis of the water distribution block 4 is coaxial with the axis of the water collection tank 1.
[0025] Working principle: The device is fixedly buried below the ground surface, so that the water collection tank 1 is located below the ground surface, and the pressure distribution plate 2 is attached to the ground. The pressure distribution plate 2 disperses the sinking pressure caused by gravity after the water is collected in the tank.
[0026] When the device is in use, during the rainy season, rainwater falls onto the water collection cover 3 and is collected. The collected water flows onto the water distribution block 4 and then onto the water collection plate 11. It then flows into the tank of the water collection tank 1. The sand and gravel mixed in the water flow are naturally deposited into the mud collection ditch and are periodically or irregularly discharged to the outside of the water collection tank 1 through the mud discharge pipe 12.
[0027] When removing mud and sand, first discharge the water collected in the water collection tank 1 through the water outlet pipe 14, and then flush a small amount of water into the water collection tank 1 at high speed through the mud discharge pipe 12 to stir up the mud and sand and form turbid mud slurry before pumping out the mud slurry.
[0028] When water is pumped out through the outlet pipe 14, the water is disturbed by the pump. The intercepting net 13 can reduce the agitation of the mud and sand at the bottom of the water collection tank 1 by the water disturbance, and reduce the amount of mud and sand mixed in the water supplied through the outlet pipe 14. At the same time, the filter net 15 can intercept large particles of sand and gravel scattered on the intercepting net 13 to avoid damaging the water pump.
[0029] When the water collected in the water collection tank 1 is heated and evaporates, the floating water vapor adheres to the bottom surface of the water distribution block 4, the water collection cover 3, and the surface of the water collection cone 31 after passing through the bottleneck. After accumulating, the water vapor flows back into the water collection tank 1, effectively reducing the loss of water through evaporation.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
