[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1 -- Figure 4 As shown, the specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: it includes a funnel rain collector 1 and a collector 2; the funnel rain collector 1 is fixedly installed on the collector 2, and the bottom surface of the funnel in the funnel rain collector 1 is provided with slots 3 at equal angles, and a fixing sleeve 16 is fitted on the conveying pipe at the bottom end of the funnel rain collector 1.
[0026] It also includes:
[0027] Telescopic rod 4, there are several telescopic rods 4, one end of each telescopic rod 4 is screwed onto the fixed sleeve 16 at the same angle using a hinge seat, so that the operator can adjust the length of the telescopic rod 4 to achieve the adjustment function. A filter plate 15 is movably provided at the funnel opening of the funnel rain collector 1. The filtering effect of the filter plate 15 is used to prevent impurities from flowing into the funnel rain collector 1.
[0028] The movable ring 5 is movably set above the funnel in the funnel rain collector 1, and the other end of the telescopic rod 4 is screwed onto the outer wall of the movable ring 5 by means of a hinge seat. The telescopic rod 4 is movably locked in the slot 3, so that the movable ring 5 is movably fitted at the opening above the funnel in the funnel rain collector 1, thereby expanding the rain collection area and making it easier for operators to collect rain runoff.
[0029] The connecting component 6 is disposed between the funnel and the movable ring 5 in the funnel rain collector 1. The funnel rain collector 1 and the movable ring 5 are connected into a whole by the connecting component 6 to prevent rainwater from leaking out from the connection point.
[0030] Connection component 6 includes:
[0031] Connecting rod 8, there are several connecting rods 8, the bottom ends of several connecting rods 8 are screwed at an equal angle to the inner wall of the funnel in the funnel rain collector 1 by hinge seats, and water-blocking cloth 9 is fixed on several connecting rods 8. The end of the connecting rod 8 is provided with an opening 10. The water-blocking cloth 9 is made of elastic waterproof material. By rotating the connecting rod 8, the water-blocking cloth 9 is opened, thereby blocking the connection between the funnel rain collector 1 and the movable ring 5, so that rainwater flows into the funnel from the inclined surface of the water-blocking cloth 9.
[0032] Abutment rod 11, wherein there are several abutment rods 11, which are movably inserted into the opening 10. A spring 12 is set in the opening 10, and the two ends of the spring 12 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the opening 10 and the abutment rod 11. The elastic force of the spring 12 facilitates the movement of the abutment rod 11 at the end of the connecting rod 8. The ends of the several abutment rods 11 are all fixedly provided with abutment plates 14, and the abutment plates 14 are movably abutting against the connecting ring 13, so that the operator can move the abutment rod 11 by pressing the abutment plate 14.
[0033] The connecting ring 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the movable ring 5, and the end of the abutment rod 11 moves against the bottom surface of the connecting ring 13. With the help of the spring 12, the end of the abutment rod 11 abuts against the bottom surface of the connecting ring 13, so that the connecting rod 8 keeps the water-blocking cloth 9 open. The upper surface of the connecting ring 13 is inclined. The guiding effect of the inclined surface makes it easy for rainwater to flow onto the water-blocking cloth 9.
[0034] The limiting blocks 7 are multiple and arranged in pairs. The limiting blocks 7 in the same group are fixedly installed at the opening of the slot 3. The screw is threaded onto the limiting blocks 7 in the same group. The limiting blocks 7 play a limiting role. After the telescopic rod 4 is locked in the slot 3, the telescopic rod 4 is located between the limiting blocks 7 in the same group. Then, the screw is threaded onto the limiting blocks 7 in the same group, thereby restricting the rotation of the telescopic rod 4 and fixing the telescopic rod 4 in the slot 3. This makes it easy to install the movable ring 5 above the funnel in the funnel rain collector 1.
[0035] When using this utility model, if the operator needs to expand the opening area of the funnel in the funnel rain collector 1, several telescopic rods 4 are rotated simultaneously. The telescopic rods 4 drive the movable ring 5 to rise until the movable ring 5 moves to the upper opening of the funnel. At the same time, the telescopic rods 4 are movably locked in the slot 3. Then, the operator screws the screw into the corresponding limiting block 7 to fix the telescopic rods 4 in the slot 3 and fix the position of the movable ring 5. Then, the operator rotates the connecting rod 8 and presses the abutment plate 14 to drive the abutment rod 11 to move in the connecting rod 8, so that the end of the abutment rod 11 abuts against the bottom surface of the connecting ring 13. Using the elastic force of the spring 12, the abutment rod 11 is movably locked in the bottom surface of the connecting ring 13. At the same time, when the connecting rod 8 rotates, the water-blocking cloth 9 is opened to block the connection between the funnel and the movable ring 5, so that rainwater can flow into the funnel rain collector 1 by the guiding effect of the water-blocking cloth 9 and the inclined surface of the connecting ring 13.
[0036] The beneficial effects of this specific embodiment after adopting the above structure are as follows:
[0037] 1. Set up telescopic rod 4, rotate telescopic rod 4 to drive movable ring 5 to a suitable position, and then use screw to fix telescopic rod 4 in slot 3, thereby fixing movable ring 5 above the opening of funnel, thereby expanding the contact area between funnel and rainwater, making it easier to collect rainwater runoff for research.
[0038] 2. Set up the connecting component 6. By rotating the connecting rod 8, the abutment rod 11 is moved and locked on the bottom surface of the connecting ring 13, thereby opening up the water-blocking cloth 9, which facilitates the connection between the movable ring 5 of the shielding column and the funnel, and prevents rainwater from leaking out from the connection.
[0039] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
