Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of landscape engineering technology, and in particular to a rainwater harvesting device for landscape engineering. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction and maintenance of garden projects, the rational use of water resources is of paramount importance. Traditional garden irrigation mainly relies on municipal water supply, which not only increases the cost of garden maintenance but also exacerbates the pressure on urban water supply to some extent. Rainwater, as a natural, clean, and abundant water resource, will have significant economic and environmental benefits if it can be effectively collected and utilized in garden projects.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN217870726U discloses "a rainwater collection and storage device for landscape engineering". By setting a filter screen, it can initially filter the rainwater entering the water storage tank, preventing large debris such as fallen leaves from entering the interior of the water storage tank. The filter screen can be rotated to open or close, making it easy to clean the lower surface of the filter screen and improving the use effect of the filter screen.

[0004] However, in practical applications, cleaning the filter screen requires manual cleaning, which is time-consuming and the timeliness of cleaning is difficult to guarantee, resulting in poor practicality of the rainwater harvesting device. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To save manpower and time, and to ensure timely cleaning, thereby improving the practicality of rainwater harvesting devices, this application provides a rainwater harvesting device for landscaping projects.

[0006] The rainwater harvesting and storage device for landscaping projects provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A rainwater harvesting device for landscaping projects includes a water tank and a filtration assembly. The water tank is hollow and has an opening at the top. The filtration assembly includes a mounting frame, a filter screen, two drive components, and a cleaning brush. The mounting frame is located at the top of the water tank, and its two short sides have limiting grooves along their width. The filter screen is located within the mounting frame. The two drive components are located on the two short sides of the mounting frame. Each drive component includes a linear guide rail and an electric slider. The linear guide rail is located within the limiting grooves, and the electric slider is slidably connected to the linear guide rail and confined within the limiting grooves. The cleaning brush is located between the two electric sliders and above the filter screen.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, in practical applications, rainwater falls into the installation frame, and most of the rainwater flows into the water tank through the intercepting filter. Large debris mixed in with the rainwater is filtered by the intercepting filter, which can minimize the entry of some debris into the water tank. When debris accumulates on the intercepting filter, two electric sliders operate, sliding and connecting to two linear guide rails respectively, thereby driving the cleaning brush to move and automatically clean the upper side of the intercepting filter, effectively saving manpower and time. At the same time, by setting the electric sliders, the intercepting filter can be cleaned in a timely manner, thereby improving the practicality of the rainwater collection and storage device.

[0009] Preferably, the filter assembly further includes two collection boxes, which are respectively located on the two long sides of the mounting frame, and the two long sides of the mounting frame are provided with discharge troughs along their own length direction, and each discharge trough is connected to each collection box.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, two collection boxes are set up, and cleaning brushes clean the debris on the filter screen, so that the debris falls into the collection box through the discharge chute, thus ensuring the subsequent rainwater collection work.

[0011] Preferably, the collection box includes a box body and a box lid, the box lid being rotatably connected to the side of the box body away from the mounting frame.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting up a box body and a box cover, and by rotating the box cover to open the collection box, it is convenient to clean the debris in the box body.

[0013] Preferably, the rainwater collection and storage device further includes a connecting box, which includes a connecting frame and a guide hopper. The connecting frame is located at the upper end of the water tank, and the lower end of the guide hopper is located at the upper end of the connecting frame. The upper end of the guide hopper is connected to the mounting frame, and the guide hopper is tapered from top to bottom.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a connecting box, the size of the installation frame is increased while maintaining the original size of the water tank, which can collect rainwater over a wider area and improve the rainwater collection and storage effect.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting box further includes a first filter screen, which is disposed in the connecting frame.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a first filter screen, rainwater can be further filtered.

[0017] Preferably, the connecting frame has slots on both sides, and the two sides of the first filter screen are respectively engaged in the two slots.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a slot, the installation and removal of the first filter screen can be facilitated.

[0019] Preferably, the connecting box further includes a second filter screen, which is disposed in the connecting frame and located below the first filter screen, and the filter holes of the first filter screen are larger than the filter holes of the second filter screen.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a second filter screen, rainwater can be further filtered.

[0021] Preferably, the rainwater collection and storage device further includes a liquid level sensor and a controller. The liquid level sensor is located in the water tank, and the controller is located outside the water tank and is electrically connected to the liquid level sensor.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a liquid level sensor and a controller, the liquid level sensor will monitor the water level in the water tank in real time and convert the water level information into an electrical signal and transmit it to the controller, so that the staff can remotely monitor the water level in the water tank.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. In practical applications, rainwater falls into the installation frame, and most of the rainwater flows into the water tank through the intercepting filter. Large debris mixed in with the rainwater is filtered through the intercepting filter, which can minimize the entry of debris into the water tank. When debris accumulates on the intercepting filter, two electric sliders operate, sliding and connecting to two linear guide rails to move the cleaning brush, automatically cleaning the upper side of the intercepting filter. This effectively saves manpower and time. At the same time, the electric sliders can clean the intercepting filter in a timely manner, improving the practicality of the rainwater harvesting device.

[0025] 2. By setting up a first filter and a second filter, rainwater can be further filtered;

[0026] 3. By setting up a liquid level sensor and a controller, the liquid level sensor will monitor the water level in the water tank in real time and convert the water level information into an electrical signal and transmit it to the controller, so that the staff can remotely monitor the water level in the water tank.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application discloses a rainwater harvesting device for landscaping projects.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The rainwater collection and storage device includes a water tank 1 and a filter assembly 2. The water tank 1 is cylindrical, hollow inside and open at the top.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The filter assembly 2 includes a mounting frame 21, an intercepting filter 22, two drive components 23, and a cleaning brush 24. The mounting frame 21 is rectangular and is mounted on the upper end of the water tank 1. Limiting grooves 211 are formed on the two short sides of the mounting frame 21 along its width. The intercepting filter 22 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 21 and located below the limiting grooves 211.

[0036] Two drive components 23 are located on the two short sides of the mounting frame 21. Specifically, each drive component 23 includes a linear guide rail 231 and an electric slider 232. The linear guide rail 231 is arranged along the width direction of the mounting shell and is fixedly connected to the limiting groove 211. The electric slider 232 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 231 and limited in the limiting groove 211. In this embodiment, the electric slider 232 moves through its internal motor in conjunction with a gear and rack. The two ends of the cleaning brush 24 are fixedly connected to the two electric sliders 232 respectively, so as to follow the movement of the two electric sliders 232. The cleaning brush 24 is located above the intercepting filter 22. Of course, the cleaning brush 24 can abut against the upper side of the intercepting filter 22 to improve the cleaning effect.

[0037] In practical applications, rainwater falls into the mounting frame 21, and most of the rainwater flows into the water tank 1 through the intercepting filter 22. Large debris mixed in with the rainwater (such as leaves, branches, plastic film, etc.) is filtered by the intercepting filter 22, which can minimize the entry of some debris into the water tank 1.

[0038] When debris accumulates on the filter screen 22, two electric sliders 232 activate, sliding along two linear guide rails 231 to move the cleaning brush 24 back and forth, automatically cleaning the upper part of the filter screen 22 without manual intervention, effectively saving time and manpower. Furthermore, by configuring the electric sliders 232, such as setting intervals for their operation or using sensors to control their operation, the filter screen 22 can be cleaned promptly, improving the practicality of the rainwater harvesting device.

[0039] In some embodiments, the filter assembly 2 further includes two collection boxes 3, which are respectively fixedly connected to the two long sides of the mounting frame 21. The two long sides of the mounting frame 21 have discharge troughs 212 along their length, and each discharge trough 212 is connected to each collection box 3. During the back-and-forth movement of the cleaning brush 24 driven by the two electric sliders 232, the cleaning brush 24 pushes debris on the intercepting filter 22 to the discharge trough 212, causing the debris to fall into the collection box 3. This minimizes the accumulation of debris on the intercepting filter 22, effectively preventing the intercepting filter 22 from being clogged by debris, thus ensuring the subsequent rainwater collection process.

[0040] In some embodiments, the collection box 3 includes a box body 31 and a box cover 32. The box body 31 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 21, and the box cover 32 is rotatably connected to the side of the box body 31 away from the mounting frame 21, so as to realize the opening or closing of the collection box 3. By rotating the box cover 32, the collection box 3 can be opened to facilitate the cleaning of debris in the box body 31.

[0041] In some embodiments, the rainwater harvesting device further includes a connecting box 4. Specifically, the connecting box 4 includes a connecting frame 41 and a guide hopper 42. The connecting frame 41 is rectangular and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the water tank 1. The lower end of the guide hopper 42 is integrally connected to the upper end of the connecting frame 41, and the upper end of the guide hopper 42 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 21, so that the guide hopper 42 is in communication with the mounting frame 21. The guide hopper 42 is rectangular and narrows from top to bottom, which increases the size of the mounting frame 21 while maintaining the original size of the water tank 1, thereby enabling rainwater collection over a wider area and improving the rainwater harvesting effect.

[0042] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments, the connecting box 4 further includes a first filter screen 43, which is installed in the connecting frame 41 and can further filter rainwater.

[0043] In some embodiments, the connecting box 4 further includes a second filter screen 44, which is installed in the connecting frame 41 and located below the first filter screen 43. The filter holes of the first filter screen 43 are larger than those of the second filter screen 44, allowing for further filtration of the rainwater filtered by the first filter screen 43, thus preventing impurities from flowing into the water tank 1. The middle portion of the first filter screen 43 and the second filter screen 44 protrudes upwards, causing impurities to move to the sides of the first filter screen 43 and the second filter screen 44 for easier collection and processing.

[0044] In some embodiments, slots 411 are provided on both sides of the connecting frame 41, and both sides of the first filter screen 43 and the second filter screen 44 are engaged in the slots 411 to realize the detachable connection between the first filter screen 43 and the second filter screen 44 and the connecting frame 41. This facilitates the installation and removal of the first filter screen 43 and the second filter screen 44, thereby facilitating the maintenance or replacement of the first filter screen 43 and the second filter screen 44.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the rainwater harvesting device further includes a level sensor 5 and a controller 6. The level sensor 5 is fixedly connected to the water tank 1, and the controller 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the water tank 1, and the controller 6 is electrically connected to the level sensor 5. The level sensor 5 monitors the water level in the water tank 1 in real time and converts the water level information into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the controller 6, allowing personnel to remotely monitor the water level in the water tank 1. Simultaneously, when the water level reaches a preset upper or lower limit, corresponding measures can be taken according to the actual situation, such as stopping rainwater collection or draining water, to ensure the safe and stable operation of the water tank 1 and the reasonable collection of rainwater. It should be noted that the controller 6 is electrically connected to the electric slider 232 and can control the operation of the electric slider 232.

[0046] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: In practical application, rainwater falls into the installation frame 21, and most of the rainwater flows into the water tank 1 through the intercepting filter 22. Large debris mixed in the rainwater (such as leaves, branches, plastic film, etc.) is filtered through the intercepting filter 22, which can minimize the entry of some debris into the water tank 1.

[0047] When debris accumulates on the filter screen 22, two electric sliders 232 activate, sliding along two linear guide rails 231 to move the cleaning brush 24 back and forth, automatically cleaning the upper part of the filter screen 22 without manual intervention, effectively saving time and manpower. Furthermore, by configuring the electric sliders 232, such as setting intervals for their operation or using sensors to control their operation, the filter screen 22 can be cleaned promptly, improving the practicality of the rainwater harvesting device.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
