Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater harvesting technology, specifically to an energy-saving building rainwater harvesting device. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing energy-efficient buildings are designed to be open-air. Rainwater is channeled through rainwater channels installed on the side of the building walls. Rainwater enters the channels from the sloping part of the walls. Finally, pipes are installed at the bottom of the channels to connect to a collection box, allowing for the collection of rainwater. During use, rainwater may carry larger debris or hard objects into the collection box. A screen is then installed on the upper surface of the channels to effectively block debris.
[0003] While the above design facilitates rainwater collection, during the collection process, because the barrier screen is installed horizontally inside the rainwater guide channel, debris accumulates on the screen over a long period, preventing rainwater from entering the screen's openings. This causes rainwater to overflow onto the guide channel, requiring personnel to climb to the top of the energy-efficient building wall to clean the debris from the screen. However, this climbing is inconvenient and poses a risk of personnel falling during the cleaning process. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an energy-saving building rainwater collection device. The present invention allows the filter screen to rotate 90° on the rainwater guide channel, thereby causing larger debris to fall off, thus avoiding manual cleaning by personnel.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an energy-saving building rainwater collection device, including a rainwater guide channel and a collection box. A filter screen is hinged inside the rainwater guide channel, and a cleaning component is installed on the filter screen. The cleaning component includes a rotating rod installed inside the rainwater guide channel, and two arc-shaped blocks are installed on the rotating rod. The ends of the two arc-shaped blocks are connected to the bottom of the filter screen. That is, rainwater first falls on the filter screen, and the filter screen allows rainwater to pass through through its pores while blocking larger debris. Over time, more and more debris accumulates on the filter screen. The cleaning component is activated, and the rotating rod drives the arc-shaped blocks to rotate, thereby pushing the filter screen to rotate 90° on the rainwater guide channel. The debris on the filter screen falls off due to gravity, realizing automatic cleaning of the screen. After cleaning, the rotating rod drives the filter screen to reset.
[0006] The cleaning assembly also includes support rods on both sides of the rainwater guide channel, with contact strips between the support rods; the use of contact strips causes the filter screen to collide with the contact strips, thereby quickly dislodging debris from the filter screen.
[0007] The cleaning assembly also includes a support strip located on one side inside the rainwater guide channel; that is, the support strip provides support for the filter screen.
[0008] The cleaning assembly also includes a motor located at the side of the rainwater guide channel, with the motor's output shaft connected to the rotating rod; that is, the motor provides drive for the rotating rod.
[0009] A guiding component is installed inside the rainwater guiding channel, which includes an inclined plate installed inside the rainwater guiding channel; that is, it provides a guiding function for the rainwater.
[0010] The guiding assembly also includes a conveying pipe located at the bottom of the rainwater guiding channel, with the end of the conveying pipe connected to the upper surface of the collection box; that is, the conveying pipe facilitates the conveying of rainwater in the rainwater guiding channel to the collection box.
[0011] The rainwater guide channel is equipped with mounting strips on both sides; that is, the rainwater guide channel can be easily installed on the wall by means of bolts on the mounting strips.
[0012] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0013] 1. The output shaft of the motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the two arc-shaped blocks to rotate, making the filter screen vertical on the rainwater guide channel, thus causing the debris on the filter screen to fall off.
[0014] 2. When the filter screen rotates in the rainwater guide channel, one end of the filter screen comes into contact with the contact strip, causing the filter screen to vibrate and indirectly causing the debris on the filter screen to be shaken off quickly. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-3 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown: This embodiment provides an energy-saving building rainwater harvesting device, including a rainwater guide channel 100 and a collection box 101. A filter screen 103 is hinged to the rainwater guide channel 100, with one end of the filter screen 103 hinged to one end of the rainwater guide channel 100. This allows the filter screen 103 to be flipped vertically on the rainwater guide channel 100, causing debris on the filter screen 103 to fall off. A cleaning component 200 is provided on the filter screen 103, including a rotating rod 202 disposed within the rainwater guide channel 100. The rotating rod 202 is installed in the guide groove and is located at the bottom of the hinge of the filter screen 103. Two arc-shaped blocks 201 are provided on the rotating rod 202. The ends of the two arc-shaped blocks 201 are connected to the bottom of the filter screen 103. The two arc-shaped blocks 201 are fixed to the rotating rod 202 by welding. When the rotating rod 202 rotates, it drives the arc-shaped blocks 201 to rotate, so that the filter screen 103 is perpendicular to the rainwater guide groove 100, thereby causing the debris on the filter screen 103 to fall off, thus avoiding manual cleaning by personnel.
[0024] First, rainwater enters the upper surface of the filter screen 103, causing it to fall within the screen and block larger debris. The water then flows into the rainwater guide channel 100. Over time, when the filter screen 103 becomes clogged, the cleaning component 200 operates. The rotating rod 202 drives the two arc-shaped blocks 201 to rotate, causing the filter screen 103 to rotate 90° on the rainwater guide channel 100. This causes larger debris to fall off, eliminating the need for manual cleaning. After cleaning, the rotating rod 202 resets the filter screen 103.
[0025] Clean up component 200 such Figure 2 and 1 As shown,
[0026] The cleaning component 200 also includes support rods 205 disposed on both sides of the rainwater guide channel 100. The support rods 205 are fixedly installed on the rainwater guide channel 100 by bolts. A contact strip 206 is disposed between the support rods 205. The contact strip 206 is fixedly installed on the support rods 205 by welding, so that the unhinged end of the filter screen 103 contacts the contact strip 206, causing the filter screen 103 to contact the contact strip 206, causing the filter screen 103 to vibrate, indirectly causing the impurities on the filter screen 103 to fall off.
[0027] The cleaning component 200 also includes a support block 203 disposed on one side inside the rainwater guide channel 100. The support block 203 is fixedly installed in the rainwater guide channel 100 by welding, so as to provide support when the filter screen 103 re-enters the rainwater guide channel 100.
[0028] The cleaning assembly 200 also includes a motor 204 disposed on the side of the rainwater guide channel 100. The output shaft of the motor 204 is connected to the rotating rod 202, and the output shaft of the motor 204 provides drive for the rotating rod 202.
[0029] Rainwater guide channel 100 Figure 3 As shown,
[0030] A guide component 300 is provided inside the rainwater guide channel 100. The guide component 300 includes an inclined plate 302 disposed inside the rainwater guide channel 100. The inclined plate 302 is fixedly installed inside the rainwater guide channel 100 by welding, so as to facilitate the flow of rainwater from the highest point of one end of the inclined plate 302 to the lowest point of the other end of the inclined plate 302.
[0031] The guide assembly 300 also includes a conveying pipe 301 disposed at the bottom of the rainwater guide channel 100. The conveying pipe 301 is installed at the bottom of the guide channel and is located at the bottom of the other end of the inclined plate 302. The end of the conveying pipe 301 is connected to the upper surface of the collection box 101 to facilitate the delivery of rainwater into the collection box 101.
[0032] The rainwater guide channel 100 is provided with mounting strips 102 on both sides. The mounting strips 102 are installed in the rainwater guide channel 100 by welding. Then, bolts are inserted into the mounting strips 102 so that the bolts enter the wall, thereby providing support for the rainwater guide channel 100 as a whole.
[0033] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly.
