It is evident that traditional non-overflow water intake and discharge methods for water storage structures often require additional power support or may damage the original structure of the water storage structure.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, related technologies have disclosed devices that utilize the siphon principle for water intake or discharge. However, existing devices that utilize the siphon principle for water intake or discharge cannot automatically control the drainage level, making it difficult to control the water storage capacity of water storage structures. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a non-powered siphon device to solve the defect that existing devices that use the siphon principle to draw or discharge water cannot automatically control the drainage water level, resulting in difficulty in controlling the water storage capacity of water storage structures.

[0005] This utility model provides a non-powered siphon device, including: a water inlet component, a water storage component, and a water level control component.

[0006] The water inlet assembly includes an inlet pipe, a float, and a hose. One end of the hose is connected to the float, and the other end of the hose is connected to the inlet pipe. The water storage assembly includes a water storage component, which is connected to the inlet pipe. The water level control assembly includes a drain pipe and an air inlet / outlet pipe. The drain pipe is connected to the water storage component, and the air inlet / outlet pipe is connected to the drain pipe. The outlet end of the drain pipe is located below the inlet end of the water inlet assembly.

[0007] In the initial state, the port of the air intake and exhaust pipe is located below the floating component. After drainage is completed, the port of the air intake and exhaust pipe is at the same height as the floating component.

[0009] According to the non-powered siphon device provided by this utility model, the axes of the drain pipe and the water storage pipe are located on the same plane.

[0010] According to the non-powered siphon device provided by this utility model, the inlet and outlet pipes include a first pipe section, a second pipe section, and a third pipe section connected in sequence, and the third pipe section is connected to the drain pipe; in the initial state, the port of the first pipe section is located below the floating component, and in the state after drainage is completed, the port of the first pipe section is at the same height as the floating component.

[0011] According to the non-powered siphon device provided by this utility model, the second pipe section is parallel to the water inlet pipe and has the same length.

[0012] The non-powered siphon device provided by this utility model further includes: a water filling component, wherein the water filling component includes a water filling pipe, and the water filling pipe is connected to the water storage component.

[0013] According to the non-powered siphon device provided by this utility model, the water filling assembly further includes a first valve, which is disposed on the water filling pipe; and / or, the water filling assembly further includes a water filling funnel, which is connected to the water filling pipe.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0029] The following is combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention describes the non-powered siphon device provided by this utility model.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the non-powered siphon device provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes: a water inlet component 100, a water storage component 200, and a water level control component 300.

[0031] The water inlet assembly 100 includes an inlet pipe 110, a float 120, and a hose 130. One end of the hose 130 is connected to the float 120, and the other end of the hose 130 is connected to the inlet pipe 110. The water storage assembly 200 includes a water storage component 210, which is connected to the inlet pipe 110. The water level control assembly 300 includes a drain pipe 310 and an air inlet / outlet pipe 320. The drain pipe 310 is connected to the water storage component 210, and the air inlet / outlet pipe 320 is connected to the drain pipe 310. The outlet end of the drain pipe 310 is located below the inlet end of the water inlet assembly 100.

[0032] In the initial state, the port of the air intake and exhaust pipe 320 is located below the float 120. After the drainage is completed, the port of the air intake and exhaust pipe 320 is at the same height as the float 120.

[0033] The non-powered siphon device provided by this utility model, by setting up a water inlet component 100, a water storage component 200 and a water level control component 300, can flexibly adjust the lowest drainage level of the water storage structure, making it easy to control the water storage capacity of the water storage structure.

[0034] Specifically, the aforementioned initial state refers to the initial state of the drainage operation. At this time, the floating component 120 is located on the liquid surface of the water storage structure, and the port of the air inlet and outlet pipe 320 is submerged underwater, that is, the port of the air inlet and outlet pipe 320 is located below the floating component 120. The aforementioned drainage completion state refers to the completion state of the drainage operation. During drainage, the liquid level of the water storage structure will gradually decrease, and the floating component 120 will decrease synchronously with the liquid level. When the liquid level drops to a certain level, the port of the air inlet and outlet pipe 320 will be exposed above the water surface, thereby connecting the inside of the device's pipeline with the atmosphere, making the internal and external pressures equal, siphoning off the flow, and automatically stopping the drainage.

[0035] The water storage component 200 is used to provide water for the siphon. When the water begins to enter the siphon device, the gravity of the water flow and the siphon effect combine to generate sufficient negative pressure, thereby activating the siphon phenomenon and allowing the water to be quickly discharged through the siphon pipe.

[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water storage component 210 is a water storage pipe, the water inlet pipe 110 is horizontally arranged, and the water storage pipe and the water inlet pipe 110 are vertically connected.

[0037] By setting the water storage component 210 to the structure of a water storage pipe, the overall structure of the siphon device can be simplified, making it easier to install and fix. The horizontally arranged inlet pipe 110 is vertically connected to the water storage pipe, which makes it easy to place the inlet pipe 110 on the top surface of the retaining wall of the water storage structure. At the same time, the water storage pipe is located on the outer side of the retaining wall, which facilitates the installation and fixing of the inlet pipe 110 and the water storage pipe.

[0038] As an example, in this embodiment, the water storage pipe includes a vertical pipe section and a horizontal pipe section, with the vertical pipe section perpendicularly connected to the inlet pipe 110. The inlet pipe 110 is detachably fixed to the top surface of the retaining wall of the water storage structure via pipe fasteners 500, and the vertical pipe section is detachably fixed to the outer side of the retaining wall via pipe fasteners 500. The pipe fasteners 500 can take the form of clamps, etc., and there is no special limitation on this. The number of pipe fasteners 500 can be set according to the length of the corresponding pipe. For example, when the pipe is long, multiple pipe fasteners 500 can be set at intervals for fixing, and when the pipe is short, only one or a small number of pipe fasteners 500 can be set for fixing.

[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the axis of the drain pipe 310 and the water storage pipe are located on the same plane.

[0040] By placing the axis of the drain pipe 310 and the water storage pipe on the same plane, it is easy to coil and fix the drain pipe 310 and the water storage pipe on the outer side of the retaining wall of the water storage structure, while improving the overall compactness of the siphon device.

[0041] It should be noted that the diameters of the water storage pipe and the drainage pipe 310 can be the same or different, and there are no special restrictions on this.

[0042] As an example, in this embodiment, both the water storage pipe and the drainage pipe 310 are detachably fixed to the outer side of the retaining wall of the water storage structure using pipe fasteners 500.

[0043] See Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the intake and exhaust pipe 320 includes a first pipe section 321, a second pipe section 322 and a third pipe section 323 connected in sequence, and the third pipe section 323 is connected to the drain pipe 310; in the initial state, the port of the first pipe section 321 is located below the float 120, and in the state after drainage is completed, the port of the first pipe section 321 is at the same height as the float 120.

[0044] By configuring the air intake and exhaust pipe 320 into a structure comprising a first pipe section 321, a second pipe section 322, and a third pipe section 323 connected in sequence, the port of the air intake and exhaust pipe 320 can be placed below the liquid surface (in the initial state) using the first pipe section 321. By controlling the length of the first pipe section 321 submerged in water, the drainage volume of the water storage structure can be controlled. At the same time, the second pipe section 322 can be fixed to the top surface of the retaining wall of the water storage structure. By controlling the length of the second pipe section 322, the third pipe section 323 is used to connect with the drain pipe 310.

[0045] See Figure 1As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the second pipe section 322 is parallel to the water inlet pipe 110 and has the same length.

[0046] By setting the second pipe section 322 to be parallel to the inlet pipe 110 and of the same length, the third pipe section 323 can be located on the same plane as the axis of the drain pipe 310 and the water storage pipe. This allows the third pipe section 323 to be detachably fixed to the outer side of the retaining wall of the water storage structure using the pipe fastener 500 without taking up additional lateral space.

[0047] See Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, it further includes: a water filling component 400, which includes a water filling pipe 410 and is connected to a water storage component 210.

[0048] By setting up the water supply component 400, water can be added to the water storage pipe using the water supply pipe 410 of the water supply component 400 in the initial state, which is used to provide drainage water for the siphon.

[0049] It is understood that the water supply pipe 410 is connected to the water storage device 210. That is, the water supply pipe 410 can be directly connected to the water storage device 210, or it can be indirectly connected to the water storage device 210 through an intermediate connecting component. For example, in this embodiment, the outlet end of the water supply pipe 410 is connected to the inlet pipe 110, and the water supply pipe 410 is connected to the water storage device 210 through the inlet pipe 110.

[0050] See Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water supply assembly 400 further includes a first valve 420, which is disposed on the water supply pipe 410.

[0051] By setting the first valve 420, the water supply pipe 410 can be opened or closed, facilitating control of its flow. For example, in the initial state, the water supply pipe 410 needs to be opened through the first valve 420 to facilitate the introduction of diverting water into the water storage device 210. Once the siphon begins, the water supply pipe 410 can be closed through the first valve 420 to prevent the pipe from connecting to the atmosphere.

[0052] See Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water filling component 400 further includes a water filling funnel 430, which is connected to the water filling pipe 410.

[0053] By incorporating a water-filling funnel 430, the structure of the funnel facilitates the smooth flow of water into the water-filling pipe 410, preventing overflow. The water-filling funnel 430 can be secured using joints or threaded connections at all joints.

[0054] See Figure 1As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water inlet assembly 100 further includes a second valve 140, which is disposed on the water inlet pipe 110 and is located upstream of the water supply pipe 410; the water level control assembly 300 further includes a third valve 330, which is disposed on the drain pipe 310 and is located downstream of the air inlet and outlet pipe 320.

[0055] By installing a second valve 140 on the inlet pipe 110 and a third valve 330 on the third drain pipe 310, in the initial state, the second valve 140 and the third valve 330 can be closed, and water can be added to the inside of the pipe through the water filling assembly 400, so that the pipe between the second valve 140 and the third valve 330 is filled with water, and the air in the pipe is discharged through the air inlet and outlet pipes 320. After the air in the pipe is discharged, the first valve 420 is closed.

[0056] See Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water storage component 200 further includes a drain pipe 220 and a fourth valve 230. The drain pipe 220 is connected to the lowest position of the water storage component 210, and the fourth valve 230 is located on the drain pipe 220.

[0057] By setting up a drain pipe 220 and a fourth valve 230, the fourth valve 230 can be opened when the operation is completed, and the residual water in the water storage device 210 can be discharged through the drain pipe 220.

[0058] See Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water inlet assembly 100 further includes a filter element 150, which is disposed on the hose 130.

[0059] By installing a filter element 150 on the hose 130, the incoming water can be filtered to prevent large solid impurities from entering the pipeline and causing blockage.

[0060] As an example, in this embodiment, the filter element 150 is a filter head.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the main piping of the non-powered siphon device (including the inlet pipe 110, storage pipe, drain pipe 220, and outlet pipe 310, etc.) and the filter element 150 are preferably made of weather-resistant materials (such as PVC). The flexible hose is preferably a transparent plastic hose, and the inlet and outlet pipes are preferably acrylic pipes. The float is preferably a plate-shaped float made of foam material. The valves are preferably made of plastic or corrosion-resistant metal materials.

[0062] The following describes the usage process of the non-powered siphon device provided by this utility model. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0063] First, the device pipeline is connected and installed on the embankment of the water storage structure, ensuring the float 120 is positioned on the liquid surface. Then, the first valve 420 is opened while the second valve 140, third valve 330, and fourth valve 230 are closed. Water is added to the pipeline through the water funnel 430, causing air in the pipeline to be expelled through the air inlet / outlet pipe 320 and filling the pipe between the second valve 140 and the third valve 330 with drainage water. After the air in the pipeline is expelled, the first valve 420 is closed and the second valve 140 and the third valve 330 are opened. Under the action of the drainage water, any remaining air in the pipeline is expelled with the water flow, creating a negative pressure inside the pipeline. Water in the water storage structure flows into the pipeline due to the pressure difference between the atmospheric pressure at the water surface and the negative pressure inside the pipeline, forming a continuous water flow and achieving the pumping purpose. Similarly, under the influence of pressure difference, the inlet and outlet pipe 320 will simultaneously draw water into the pipeline. When the liquid level drops to the point where the port of the inlet and outlet pipe 320 is exposed above the water surface, air gradually enters the pipeline, eventually equalizing the pressure inside and outside the pipeline, thus stopping the siphon flow and automatically stopping the drainage. The drainage volume of the water storage structure can be controlled according to the length of the inlet and outlet pipe 320 submerged in water.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
