[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 The garden greening water storage device in this embodiment includes a water receiving tank 1, a plurality of water receiving hoppers 3 are provided on the water receiving tank 1, a filter screen 5 is provided at the top of the water receiving hopper 3 at the same level as it, a support frame 2 is provided on the side wall of the water receiving tank 1, and a cleaning mechanism 4 is provided on the support frame 2.
[0021] The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a turntable 401 mounted on a support frame 2. A fixed post 404 is fixed off-center from the turntable 401. A rotating frame 402 is fitted around the outside of the fixed post 404. A slidable scraper 408 is mounted on the top of the water receiving hopper 3 and on the surface of the filter screen 5. Two scrapers 408 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 407. One side of the rotating frame 402 is fixed to one of the scrapers 408 by a fixed rod 406.
[0022] The water receiving hopper 3 has a second sliding groove 405 on its side wall. The scraper 408 has a slider 409 fixed on its side wall that slides in cooperation with the second sliding groove 405. The cooperation between the second sliding groove 405 and the slider 409 provides guidance for the scraper 408, ensuring that the scraper 408 always stays in close contact with the filter screen surface during the sliding process, avoiding deviation or shaking, and improving the cleaning effect.
[0023] When the turntable 401 rotates, the eccentrically positioned fixed column 404 drives the rotating frame 402 to perform circular motion. Since one side of the rotating frame 402 is fixed to one of the scraper rods 408 via the fixed rod 406, its motion trajectory is transformed into the reciprocating sliding of the scraper rod 408 along the filter screen surface, similar to the crank-slider mechanism 409. At this time, the scraper rod 408 moves close to the filter screen surface, scraping accumulated leaves and debris to the edge of the water collection hopper 3 or the collection area, preventing debris from clogging the filter screen pores. The connecting rod 407 enables multiple sets of scraper rods 408 to operate synchronously, ensuring that the filters of multiple water collection hoppers 3 can be effectively cleaned, improving the overall cleaning efficiency.
[0024] One end of the turntable 401 is driven to rotate by an external motor. The external motor provides a continuous and stable driving force, causing the turntable 401 to rotate at a set speed, so that the cleaning mechanism 4 can operate automatically.
[0025] Meanwhile, a first groove 403 is provided on the inner side of the rotating frame 402 to slide in conjunction with the fixed column 404. The first groove 403 allows the fixed column 404 to slide within the rotating frame 402. When the turntable 401 drives the fixed column 404 to perform circular motion, the rotating frame 402, through the sliding contact between the first groove 403 and the fixed column 404, converts the circular motion of the fixed column 404 into a combination of translational and rotational motion, thereby precisely driving the scraper 408 to perform reciprocating linear motion along the filter screen surface. The shape design of the groove ensures smooth movement of the rotating frame 402 and prevents the scraper 408 from getting stuck.
[0026] In addition, the top of the water tank 1 is equipped with multiple openable and closable covers 6, which facilitate the maintenance, water intake or debris removal inside the water tank 1.
[0027] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0028] Rainwater is collected through the water collection hopper 3 and initially filtered by the top filter screen 5 before flowing into the water collection tank 1 for storage. Simultaneously, an external motor drives the turntable 401 to rotate. The fixed column 404 at the eccentric position of the turntable 401 drives the rotating frame 402 to perform circular motion via the first sliding groove 403. This motion is then converted into the reciprocating sliding of the scraper 408 along the second sliding groove 405 on the side wall of the water collection hopper 3. The scraper 408 is linked by the connecting rod 407, continuously scraping away accumulated leaves and other debris from the filter screen 5 to prevent clogging. When maintenance is required, the cover plate 6 at the top of the water collection tank 1 can be opened to access the interior of the tank for maintenance, water extraction, or cleaning.
