Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic flowing water ornaments, and in particular to a ceramic flowing water ornament for ornamental purposes. Background Technology

[0002] Ornamental ceramic water features are typically made primarily of ceramic and are meticulously crafted through multiple processes including blank making, shaping, carving, glazing, and firing. They come in a wide variety of shapes, commonly including those that imitate natural landscapes, depicting mountains, streams, and waterfalls; traditional garden styles that showcase the elegant scenes of pavilions, terraces, bridges, and flowing water; and creative designs based on various plants, animals, and other flora and fauna. These pieces can be placed in public areas, on tables, cabinets, or display cases for people to appreciate, covering a wide range of styles and possessing high ornamental and decorative value.

[0003] Ceramic water feature sculptures consist of ceramic models and flowing water. Since they require a flowing water body and are often displayed exposed, if there are many viewers or the environment is complex, impurities can easily fall into the flowing water and become soiled. Some ceramic sculptures are large and have complex designs, increasing the workload for cleaning them later. While some existing sculptures use filters to reduce impurities, their effectiveness is limited; small impurities can still easily pass through the filters and flow throughout the sculpture. Accumulated impurities reduce the sculpture's aesthetic appeal and increase the subsequent cleaning workload. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a ceramic flowing water ornament for ornamental purposes to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a ceramic water feature for ornamental purposes, comprising a base, a water trough, a through hole, a water pump, a water tank, a water outlet pipe, a nozzle, a partition, a filter screen, a connecting hopper, a return pipe, a first branch pipe, a solenoid valve, a circulation pipe, a second branch pipe, and a ceramic model. The water trough is provided in the middle of the top surface of the base, and the ceramic model is installed in the water trough. The water pump and the water tank are installed on the bottom inner side of the base. A through hole is provided at one end of the bottom of the water trough, and the through hole is connected to the inner side of the connecting hopper provided in the base.

[0006] The water pump's inlet and outlet are connected to a circulation pipe and an outlet pipe, respectively.

[0007] The interior of the water tank is divided into three equal chambers by two installed partitions. Each chamber has a filter screen installed on the top of its inner side. The three chambers are a settling chamber, an outlet chamber, and a return chamber. The settling chamber, outlet chamber, and return chamber are dynamically adjustable.

[0008] The end of the water outlet pipe is equipped with a nozzle that connects to the inside of the water trough;

[0009] The bottom of the connecting bucket is connected to a return pipe, and several first branch pipes are connected to the return pipe. Each first branch pipe extends into each chamber in a corresponding manner.

[0010] The circulation pipe is connected to several second branch pipes. Each second branch pipe passes through the outer surface of the water tank and extends into each corresponding chamber. Each second branch pipe and each first branch pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the base is an open structure, and an inspection door is installed at one end of the open structure of the base.

[0012] Preferably, the filter screen has an upwardly convex arched structure.

[0013] Preferably, a baffle is installed in the chamber, the baffle is located below the filter screen, and the top surface of the baffle is lower than the bottom of the second branch pipe, and a number of through holes are opened on the baffle.

[0014] Preferably, an expansion opening is provided on the top inner side of the through hole.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention incorporates a filter to initially regulate the circulating water flow, reducing the impurity content in the water within the ceramic water feature and thus minimizing contamination. Furthermore, by dividing the water tank into a settling chamber, an outlet chamber, and a return chamber, impurities in the settling chamber settle during water use.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a ceramic water feature for ornamental purposes, including a base 1, a water trough 2, a through hole 3, a water pump 4, a water tank 5, a water outlet pipe 6, a nozzle 7, a partition 8, a filter screen 10, a connecting hopper 11, a return pipe 12, a first branch pipe 13, a solenoid valve 14, a circulation pipe 15, a second branch pipe 16, and a ceramic model 19. The front end of the base 1 is an open structure, and the inner side of the open end of the base 1 is locked and fixed with an inspection door 20. A water trough 2 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the base 1, and the water trough 2 is used to supply water flow.

[0025] Multiple ceramic models 19 are pasted inside the water trough 2. In this embodiment, the ceramic model 19 is in the shape of a duck. A water pump 4 and a water tank 5 are locked and fixed on the bottom inner side of the base 1. The top of the water tank 5 is an open structure. A through hole 3 for water circulation and discharge is opened at the bottom left end of the water trough 2. The through hole 3 is connected to the inner side of the connecting bucket 11 set in the base 1.

[0026] The water pump 4 has a circulation pipe 15 and an outlet pipe 6 fixedly connected to its inlet and outlet ends, respectively.

[0027] The interior of the water tank 5 is divided into three chambers by two vertically installed partitions 8. Each chamber has a filter screen 10 installed on the top of its inner side. The three chambers are a settling chamber, an outlet chamber, and a return chamber. The settling chamber, outlet chamber, and return chamber are dynamically adjustable.

[0028] A nozzle 7 is installed at the end of the water outlet pipe 6, which is connected to the right end of the inner side of the water trough 2;

[0029] A return pipe 12 is inserted into the bottom of the connecting bucket 11. The bottom of the return pipe 12 is connected to three first branch pipes 13. The three first branch pipes 13 extend into the three chambers one by one. In order to reduce the accumulation of impurities below the first branch pipes 13 and facilitate the dispersion of impurities to the outside, the filter screen 10 has an upward convex arched structure.

[0030] The circulation pipe 15 is connected to three second branch pipes 16. After passing through the outer surface of the water tank 5, the three second branch pipes 16 extend into the three chambers one by one. Each second branch pipe 16 and each first branch pipe 13 is equipped with a solenoid valve 14.

[0031] Each chamber in this embodiment is equipped with a liquid level sensor for detecting the water level in the chamber, which is not shown in the figure.

[0032] During use, only two of the three chambers in the water tank 5 are filled with water for ceramic ornaments. The water pump 4, solenoid valve 14, liquid level sensor and other electrical equipment are connected to an external control device through control cables.

[0033] Each chamber can be defined by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valves 14 on the first branch pipe 13 and the second branch pipe 16. For example, the three chambers can be labeled A, B, and C from left to right. When the solenoid valve 14 on the second branch pipe 16 is opened, chamber A is the outlet chamber, while chamber B is empty. When the solenoid valve 14 on the first branch pipe 13 is opened, the used water enters chamber B, which then becomes the return chamber. Since the solenoid valves 14 on the first branch pipe 13 and the second branch pipe 16 in chamber C are not open, chamber C becomes the settling chamber. The chamber with the solenoid valve 14 on the second branch pipe 16 open is the outlet chamber, the chamber with the solenoid valve 14 on the first branch pipe 13 open is the return chamber, and the chamber with the solenoid valve 14 on the first branch pipe 13 and the second branch pipe 16 not open is the settling chamber. This process can be repeated to dynamically adjust chambers A, B, and C to be either the return chamber, the settling chamber, or the outlet chamber.

[0034] Water is pumped from the outlet chamber by water pump 4 in conjunction with circulation pipe 15 and second branch pipe 16, and sprayed outward through outlet pipe 6 and nozzle 7. The water flows in the water channel 2 to form a ceramic model 19, which is a vivid and interesting picture of a ceramic duck swimming, which can add to the ornament. After use, the water enters the connecting bucket 11 through the through hole 3, and flows down into the return chamber through the connecting bucket 11, return pipe 2 and first branch pipe 13. The impurities in the water are initially filtered by the filter screen 10.

[0035] When the water in one outlet chamber is used up, the solenoid valve on the second branch pipe 16 of the settling chamber is opened, which is the originally defined C chamber. At this time, the C chamber changes from a settling chamber to an outlet chamber, while the solenoid valves 14 corresponding to the B chamber are all closed, and the B chamber changes from a return chamber to a settling chamber. The solenoid valve 14 on the second branch pipe 16 corresponding to the A chamber is closed, and the solenoid valve 14 on the first branch pipe 13 corresponding to the A chamber is opened, and the A chamber changes from an outlet chamber to a return chamber. When the used water settles in the settling chamber, the impurities settle, reducing the risk of impurities contaminating the ceramic model when the water flows with the water during the next use.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a baffle 9 is installed in the chamber. The baffle 9 is located below the filter screen 10, and the top surface of the baffle 9 is lower than the bottom of the second branch pipe 16. A number of through holes 17 are provided on the baffle 9. An expansion port 18 is provided on the top inner side of the through hole 17, which facilitates impurities to pass through the expansion port 18 and enter the area below the baffle 9, while reducing the amount of impurities below the baffle 9 flowing upward from the through hole 17.

[0037] Specifically, during use, the water in the settling chamber settles downwards, and impurities settle through the through-hole 17 and enter below the baffle 9. The baffle 9 blocks impurities in the water, reducing the impact of water flow disturbance on bottom impurities when the water is reused, reducing the possibility of bottom sediment being rolled up, thereby further reducing impurities in the water flow, reducing the impurity content in the ceramic water feature, improving the overall aesthetics of the ceramic water feature, thus enhancing its ornamental value, and also reducing the workload of subsequent overall cleaning of the ceramic water feature.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
