Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, and specifically relates to a cover plate device for collecting rainwater in drinking water tanks. Background Technology

[0002] In some areas where it is difficult to find sufficient water sources to build centralized water supply projects, the main solution to rural domestic and production water problems is to build household water tanks to collect and store rainwater. Household water tanks have made a significant contribution to alleviating water scarcity, solving rural domestic and production water problems, and improving drinking water conditions.

[0003] For a long time, due to the high per capita investment in building household water tanks, many households have not installed covers or have used simple covers when building their water tanks in order to reasonably reduce construction costs. This has resulted in substandard water quality and safety issues caused by the tanks being left open. Therefore, installing covers on water tanks is of great significance for promoting water quality improvement and ensuring the safety of residents' drinking water.

[0004] Traditional, simple household water tank covers have the following main problems:

[0005] In some areas, household water tanks use simple transparent plastic covers or wire mesh covers. After prolonged exposure to heat, rain, and contamination from fallen leaves and branches, these covers may harden, become brittle, or deform, leading to poor sealing and potential safety hazards. Traditional simple household water tank covers, limited by their structure and materials, do not provide ideal sealing. In humid or high-moisture environments, gaps may appear at the edges of the cover, allowing moisture to seep into the tank and affect water quality. Furthermore, simple household water tank covers easily accumulate dust, dirt, and water stains during use, and cleaning can be difficult due to the numerous edges and gaps. If not cleaned promptly, this not only affects aesthetics but may also promote the growth of microorganisms or algae, compromising drinking water safety.

[0006] Household water tanks without covers have the following main problems:

[0007] Water tanks, with their water sources constantly exposed to the elements, are susceptible to external contamination. Dust, fallen leaves, insects, and other impurities can fall into the tank, deteriorating water quality. This not only affects the taste and safety of drinking water but can also lead to health problems. Water tanks without covers are exposed to direct sunlight, causing the water temperature to rise rapidly, accelerating the growth of microorganisms and algae, further worsening water quality, especially during the hot summer months. The lack of covers also increases evaporation, reducing water storage capacity. In water-scarce areas, reduced storage can lead to water shortages during dry seasons, requiring emergency water deliveries and incurring financial burdens. Furthermore, uncovered household water tanks pose safety hazards, increasing the risk of children or livestock falling into the tank and drowning. Utility Model Content

[0008] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a cover plate device for rainwater collection in drinking water tanks that has a long service life, is economical and reasonable, can effectively protect the water quality of water tanks, and can increase the water storage capacity of water tanks.

[0009] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] A cover device for collecting rainwater in a drinking water tank includes an umbrella-shaped cover, several supporting beams, supporting columns, and several crossbeams. The umbrella-shaped cover is fixedly connected to the supporting beams. The supporting beams are fixedly installed on the water tank along the edge of the tank. A connecting rod is provided between each pair of supporting beams. One end of each supporting column is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water tank, and the other end is fixedly connected to the middle position of the umbrella-shaped cover. The crossbeams include horizontal and vertical bars stacked vertically. Both ends of the horizontal and vertical bars are fixedly connected to the connecting rods. Several supporting top rods are also fixedly provided at the junction of the horizontal and vertical bars. The other end of each supporting top rod is fixedly connected to the umbrella-shaped cover. The umbrella-shaped cover is also provided with a rainwater drainage pipe, an inspection port, and a rainwater collection baffle located on the outer edge of the umbrella-shaped cover.

[0011] The umbrella-shaped roof has a certain slope, and with the rainwater collection baffle located at the outer edge of the umbrella-shaped roof, fallen leaves, branches, pebbles, and other debris can roll off and collect at the edge for easy cleaning. It also facilitates rainwater collection, which is stored through a rainwater drainage pipe, increasing the water tank's capacity. The umbrella-shaped roof is secured by support beams and columns, improving overall stability and safety, and effectively extending its service life. The height and slope of the umbrella-shaped roof can be adjusted by replacing support columns of different heights. Support rods, located on the crossbeams, provide support to the umbrella-shaped roof, further securing it and improving stability. These support rods are also fixed at the junction of the crossbeams and longitudinal bars, enhancing support strength. The rainwater drainage pipe collects rainwater into the water tank, increasing water storage. An inspection port is provided at the top of the umbrella-shaped roof, and the support rods raise the entire umbrella-shaped roof to a certain height, facilitating daily maintenance and repair.

[0012] The umbrella-shaped canopy, supporting beams, supporting columns, crossbeams, connecting rods, supporting top rods, and protective netting can be made of stainless steel or other metals, which can make them less prone to deformation, improve load-bearing capacity and service life. At the same time, the metals can be connected by welding or other methods.

[0013] Further explanation of this utility model: the umbrella-shaped cover is provided with a sunshade and heat insulation film. Using this film can, on the one hand, maintain a stable water temperature in the water tank, reduce the probability of microbial and algae growth, and ensure water cleanliness; on the other hand, it also isolates the water from high temperatures and direct sunlight, reducing water evaporation and avoiding water waste.

[0014] Further explanation of this utility model: a protective net is provided on the support beam. The protective net prevents children, poultry, and livestock from accidentally falling into the water tank, improving safety and preventing accidents. It also prevents insects, fallen leaves, and other debris from entering the water tank. Simultaneously, the mesh structure ensures air circulation, maintaining the cleanliness and freshness of the water stored in the tank.

[0015] To further illustrate this invention, the rainwater drainage pipe is equipped with a filter screen. The filter screen effectively prevents debris from falling into the water tank, thus preventing water contamination.

[0016] To further explain this utility model, the umbrella-shaped cover has anti-slip textures to increase the friction of the cover surface and prevent slipping during maintenance.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model has the advantages of reasonable structural design, simple installation process, economical construction cost, strong load-bearing capacity, and long service life. Simultaneously, it allows debris such as leaves, branches, and gravel to roll and collect at the edge of the cover for easy cleaning, improving safety. Through the inclusion of baffles and drainage pipes, it can collect rainwater to a certain extent, increasing the water tank's storage capacity. The use of protective netting and sunshade / heat insulation film effectively improves the water quality in the tank, preventing contamination. The support rods and columns ensure sufficient space inside the cover for ventilation and heat dissipation, preventing water quality deterioration due to high temperature or humidity, and facilitating inspection and maintenance.
