Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater harvesting technology, and in particular to a rainwater harvesting device for RVs. Background Technology

[0002] RVs, also known as "homes on wheels," combine the functions of a "house" and a "vehicle," but their primary attribute is still that of a vehicle. They are a type of mobile vehicle equipped with the essential facilities for living. RVs can be parked anywhere far from the city, such as beaches, lakeshores, grasslands, hillsides, and forests, while still allowing for an urban lifestyle. Inside an RV, one can cook, shower, sleep, watch TV, and more.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the impurities that are filtered and intercepted after rainwater is collected in RVs are not easy to clean out. Traditional filter screens are usually fixed inside the water tank, and it is time-consuming and laborious to disassemble and install them, which reduces the cleaning efficiency of the filter screens. Moreover, the collection bucket is usually fixed to the water tank, which is inconvenient to store when not in use. This not only affects the speed of the RV but also reduces the service life of the collection bucket. Utility Model Content

[0008] Two filter screens are fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two card plates for filtering rainwater;

[0009] A collection component is disposed on the outer surface of the water tank.

[0010] Preferably, the filter assembly further includes:

[0011] Two T-shaped channels are opened on both sides of the water tank near the top, and T-shaped plates are movably installed inside the two T-shaped channels;

[0012] The T-shaped plate can slide laterally inside the T-shaped groove;

[0013] A sealing plate is fixedly installed on the top of the T-shaped plate;

[0014] A rectangular groove is formed on the top outer surface of the sealing plate, and a water inlet is provided on one side of the rectangular groove for rainwater to flow in.

The filter openings of the two filter screens are different, with the filter holes near the lower end being smaller, which better intercepts small impurities in the rainwater and improves the cleanliness of the rainwater.

[0016] Preferably, the collection components include:

[0017] Two sliding grooves are formed on opposite sides inside the rectangular groove, and a limit plate is movably installed inside each of the two sliding grooves;

[0018] The limiting plate can slide laterally inside the slide groove;

[0019] A movable plate is fixedly mounted on the opposite sides of the two limiting plates;

[0020] A collection hopper is fixedly installed on one side of the top outer surface of the movable plate. The collection hopper penetrates the movable plate and is used for collecting rainwater.

[0024] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting pin, and the other end of the spring is connected to the movable plate.

[0025] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the limiting pin is embedded inside the limiting hole under the elastic force of the spring.

[0026] Preferably, a handle is fixedly provided on one side of the movable plate, and a U-shaped protective cover is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the movable plate near the limiting pin to protect the limiting pin.

[0027] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the U-shaped protective cover is fitted on the outer surface of the limiting pin, which can protect the limiting pin and the spring and prevent rainwater erosion.

[0028] Preferably, a water outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the lower end of one side of the water tank for transporting rainwater, and a baffle is fixedly installed on the side of the water tank away from the water outlet pipe.

[0029] The technical effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: the collected and filtered rainwater can be used after being transmitted through the outlet pipe.

The sealing plate is connected to the water tank via a T-shaped plate, which is embedded inside the T-shaped groove, so that the sealing plate seals the upper end of the water tank and prevents the clips from moving inside the slots. Two bolts are threaded into the mounting holes on one side of the T-shaped plate, making the sealing plate more securely installed on the water tank. Rainwater is collected through the inlet.

[0034] 2. In this utility model, rainwater is collected by a collection hopper and flows into the interior of the water tank through the inlet. It is then filtered by the filter assembly.

[0041] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0042] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0043] Example 1, as Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a rainwater collection device for RVs, including: a water tank 1, a filter assembly, and a collection assembly;

[0044] The filtering components include:

[0045] The water tank 1 has slots 115 on opposite sides at the center of its interior. Each slot 115 has a retaining plate 116 movably embedded inside. Each retaining plate 116 has two filter screens 117 fixedly installed on opposite sides. There is a gap between the two filter screens 117 to facilitate better filtration of impurities in rainwater. The upper sides of the outer surface of the water tank 1 have T-shaped grooves 121 on both sides. Each T-shaped groove 121 has a retaining plate 114 movably embedded inside. A sealing plate 101 is fixedly installed on the top of the T-shaped plate 114. A mounting hole 119 is opened on one side of the T-shaped plate 114. A bolt 120 is threadedly installed on the side of the water tank 1 near the top. A rectangular groove 112 is opened on one side of the outer surface of the sealing plate 101. A water inlet 110 is opened on one side of the rectangular groove 112.

[0046] In this embodiment, two filter screens 117 are embedded inside the water tank 1 via clips 116, and the clips 116 are embedded inside the slots 115. This improves the stability of the two filter screens 117, making them more stably embedded inside the water tank 1 to filter the collected rainwater. There is a certain gap between the two filter screens 117, which allows for better filtration of impurities in the rainwater. The filter openings of the two filter screens 117 are different, with the filter holes near the lower end being smaller, which better intercepts small impurities in the rainwater and improves the cleanliness of the rainwater. The sealing plate 101 is connected to the water tank 1 via a T-shaped plate 114, which is embedded inside the T-shaped groove 121, so that the sealing plate 101 seals the upper end of the water tank 1 and also prevents the clips 116 from moving inside the slots 115. Two bolts 120 are threaded into the mounting holes 119 opened on one side of the T-shaped plate 114, so that the sealing plate 101 is more stably installed on the water tank 1. Rainwater is collected through the inlet 110.

[0047] Example 2, as Figure 1-4 As shown, the collection components include:

[0048] Two chutes 113 are formed on opposite sides inside the rectangular groove 112. Limiting plates 108 are movably embedded inside both chutes 113. Movable plates 102 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two limiting plates 108. A collection hopper 103 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the movable plate 102. The collection hopper 103 passes through the movable plate 102 and is connected to the water inlet 110, which can collect the rainwater into the water tank 1. A limiting pin 106 is movably embedded at the center of one side of the movable plate 102. A spring 107 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting pin 106. The other end of the spring 107 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the movable plate 102. A U-shaped protective cover 104 is fixedly installed near the outer surface of the limiting pin 106. A handle 109 is fixedly installed on one side of the movable plate 102. A limiting hole 111 is formed at the center of one side of the rectangular groove 112. A water outlet pipe 118 is fixedly installed at the lower end of one side of the water tank 1. A baffle 105 is fixedly installed on the other side of the water tank 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, rainwater is collected by the collection hopper 103 and flows into the water tank 1 through the inlet 110. It is then filtered by the filter assembly. When the collection hopper 103 needs to be disassembled, the limiting pin 106 is pulled out of the limiting hole 111, and the collection hopper 103 can be removed by pulling the moving plate 102 using the handle 109. During installation, the limiting plates 108 on both sides of the moving plate 102 are inserted into the sliding groove 113, and then the moving plate 102 is pushed out of the rectangular groove 112, causing the collection hopper 103 to move to the upper end of the inlet 110. The limiting pin 106 is spring-loaded by the spring 107. Under the action of force, the collection hopper 103 is embedded in the limiting hole 111, making the collection hopper 103 more stably installed on the upper end of the water tank 1 for rainwater collection. The U-shaped protective cover 104 is fitted on the outer surface of the limiting pin 106, which can protect the limiting pin 106 and the spring 107 to prevent rainwater erosion. The collected and filtered rainwater is transmitted through the outlet pipe 118 for use. A spoiler 105 is fixedly installed on the other side of the water tank 1. The spoiler 105 can reduce the direct contact between the airflow and the water tank 1 during driving, reduce turbulence and resistance, improve vehicle stability, and slightly reduce the drag coefficient and fuel consumption.

[0050] Working principle: Two filter screens 117 are embedded into the water tank 1 via clips 116. The clips 116 are embedded into slots 115, which improves the stability of the filter screens 117 and makes them more securely embedded in the water tank 1 to filter the collected rainwater. There is a certain gap between the two filter screens 117, which allows for better filtration of impurities in the rainwater. The filter openings of the two filter screens 117 are different, with the filter holes near the lower end being smaller, which better intercepts small impurities in the rainwater and improves the cleanliness of the rainwater. The sealing plate 101 is connected to the water tank 1 via a T-shaped plate 114. The T-shaped plate 114 is embedded into a T-shaped groove 121, which seals the upper end of the water tank 1 and prevents the clips 116 from moving inside the slots 115. Two bolts 120 are threaded into the mounting holes 119 on one side of the T-shaped plate 114, making the sealing plate 101 more securely installed on the water tank 1. Rainwater is collected through the inlet 110.

[0051] Rainwater is collected by the collection hopper 103 and flows into the water tank 1 through the inlet 110. It is then filtered by the filter assembly. When the collection hopper 103 needs to be disassembled, the limiting pin 106 is pulled out of the limiting hole 111, and the collection hopper 103 can be removed by pulling the moving plate 102 using the handle 109. During installation, the limiting plates 108 on both sides of the moving plate 102 are inserted into the sliding groove 113, and then the moving plate 102 is pushed out of the rectangular groove 112, causing the collection hopper 103 to move to the upper end of the inlet 110. The limiting pin 106 is held in place by the elastic force of the spring 107. The lower limit hole 111 is embedded inside, so that the collection hopper 103 is more stably installed on the upper end of the water tank 1 for rainwater collection. The U-shaped protective cover 104 is fitted on the outer surface of the limit pin 106 to protect the limit pin 106 and the spring 107 from rainwater erosion. The collected and filtered rainwater is transmitted through the outlet pipe 118 for use. A spoiler 105 is fixedly installed on the other side of the water tank 1. The spoiler 105 can reduce the direct contact between the airflow and the water tank 1 during driving, reduce turbulence and resistance, improve vehicle stability, and slightly reduce the drag coefficient and fuel consumption.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
