[0016] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the water-saving device of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0017] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a water inlet flow regulating and diverting device in this embodiment includes an inlet pipe 1, six branch pipes 4 connected to the inlet pipe 1, and a water-saving device 5 installed on the branch pipes 4. The inlet pipe 1 includes an outer pipe 11 and an inner pipe 7 that are slidably connected. The outer pipe 11 is provided with six outlet pipes 6 for connecting to the branch pipes 4. The inner pipe 7 is fitted inside the outer pipe 11 and is provided with six outlet holes 9. The arrangement and spacing of the outlet holes 9 are the same as those of the outlet pipes 6. One end of the inner pipe 7 is provided with an inlet 71, and the outer pipe 11 is provided with an opening corresponding to the position of the inlet 71.

[0018] The other end of the inner tube 7 is equipped with a moving device, which includes a threaded post 3 installed at one end of the inner tube 7 and a rotating handle 2 connected to the threaded post 3. The outer tube 11 is provided with a threaded hole that matches the threaded post 3. The movement of the inner tube 7 is achieved by rotating the rotating handle 2. To ensure the stability of the inner tube 7 during movement, a guide strip 8 is provided on the outer wall of the inner tube 7, and a guide groove 10 is provided on the inner wall of the outer tube 11. The guide strip 8 is slidably installed in the guide groove 10, so that the inner tube 7 only moves horizontally and does not rotate.

[0019] Branch pipe 4 can be made of flexible material. When in use, branch pipe 4 can be connected to different ponds to achieve simultaneous water injection of multiple ponds and improve water injection efficiency.

[0020] The water-saving device is located at the downstream end of the branch pipe. The water-saving device 5 includes an intermediate shell 501, a U-shaped frame 502, a valve disc 503, a connecting rod 504, and a float 505. The intermediate shell 501 is hollow inside and open at the bottom. It is installed on the branch pipe 4 and communicates with the inside of the branch pipe 4. The U-shaped frame 502 is installed at the bottom of the intermediate shell 501 and has an opening. The connecting rod 504 is slidably installed in this opening. The upper end of the connecting rod 504 is connected to the valve disc 503, and the lower end is connected to the float 505. The valve disc 503 passes through the bottom of the intermediate shell 501 and is located inside the intermediate shell 501. The distance between the opening of the U-shaped frame 502 and the bottom of the intermediate shell 501 is less than the height of the valve disc 503, ensuring that the valve disc 503 is always located inside the intermediate shell, preventing water from flowing out of the bottom of the intermediate shell from the branch pipe 4. The float 505 moves up and down, causing the valve disc 503 to move up and down within the intermediate shell 501, thereby changing the outlet area of ​​the branch pipe 4.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The inlet pipe 1 is connected to an external water source, and the branch pipe 4 is connected to the pond to be filled with water. The float 505 is placed above the water surface of the pond. First, by rotating the handle 2, the position of the inner pipe 7 inside the outer pipe 11 is changed so that the outlet hole 9 is aligned with the outlet pipe 6 to achieve water discharge. The relative position of the outlet hole 9 and the outlet pipe 6 can also be changed by finely adjusting the position of the inner pipe 7, thereby changing the water discharge area and adjusting the water flow rate. Water in the inlet pipe 1 is injected into the pond through the branch pipes 4. When the water level rises, the float 505 moves upward and drives the valve disc 503 to move upward within the intermediate shell 501, so that the water discharge area of ​​the branch pipe 4 gradually decreases until the water discharge stops completely. By adjusting the placement height of the float, the water discharge automatically stops when the water level reaches the preset height.
