Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is an outdoor landscape fountain with a splash-proof structure, belonging to the field of landscape fountain technology. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor landscape fountains are landscape facilities that combine water art and engineering technology, and are widely used in open spaces such as parks, squares, courtyards, and commercial areas. They create a multi-sensory experience through the dynamic changes of water flow (such as jets, drips, and surges) combined with elements such as lighting and music, making them an important part of modern urban landscape design.
[0003] Existing traditional fountain structures struggle to accommodate varying flow rates (such as the slow drainage of natural rainfall versus the rapid drainage of a running fountain), resulting in inconsistent splash prevention. During rapid drainage, water flows directly from the overflow area, and due to increased gravity and flow rate, the kinetic energy upon impacting the water tank surface is high, causing splashing that leads to slippery surrounding surfaces, water accumulation in landscaped areas, and even safety hazards (such as pedestrians slipping). Furthermore, the splashed water evaporates or overflows the fountain's area, requiring frequent water replenishment and cleaning of the surrounding area, increasing the operational and maintenance burden.
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this study is to design a splash-proof structure for a landscape fountain that can accommodate different water flow velocities. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an outdoor landscape fountain with a splash-proof structure to solve the problems of the existing technology.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0007] An outdoor landscape fountain with a splash-proof structure includes:
[0008] A fountain platform with several water jets arranged on it, forming an upper water storage area around the water jets;
[0009] An overflow area is formed at the outer edge below the fountain platform, and a guide section is provided on the outer side of the overflow area from top to bottom and inward;
[0010] A water storage tank is provided directly below the overflow area, and a splash-proof component is suspended inside the water storage tank;
[0011] Water flows out slowly, entering the water storage tank from the edge of the overflow area along the guide; water flows out quickly, falling from the edge of the overflow area onto the splash guard directly below, where the splash guard prevents the falling water from splashing out.
[0012] The splash-proof assembly includes a foam layer and several sets of splash-proof sheets disposed above the foam layer;
[0013] The foam layer secures the splash guard, ensuring it remains suspended inside the water tank.
[0014] A connector is provided on the outer edge of the foam layer away from the fountain platform, and the connector is movably connected to the inner high area of the water storage tank away from the fountain platform.
[0015] The foam layer is attached to the bottom of the water storage tank on the side near the fountain platform, forming an inward tilt to guide the impact water flow to splash inward. As the water in the water storage tank gradually increases, the two ends of the foam layer gradually become level.
[0016] As a further improvement, the foam layer includes a first foam sheet rotatably connected to the outside of the water storage tank via the connector, and a second foam sheet rotatably connected to the first foam sheet via a hinge. The hinge is located above the first foam sheet and the second foam sheet. When water flows and impacts the connection area between the first foam sheet and the second foam sheet, the connection area between the first foam sheet and the second foam sheet is recessed downwards to relieve the force.
[0017] As a further improvement, the foam layer is provided with fine through holes, through which the water flowing from above is discharged into the water storage tank below.
[0018] As a further improvement, the splash guard includes several sets of flexible support rods inserted into the foam layer and several sets of flexible blades fixedly installed on the flexible support rods. The impact of water flow is deflected and guided by the flexible blades and flexible support rods.
[0019] As a further improvement, the diameter of the flexible support rod is in the range of 0.5-3mm, and the thickness of the flexible blade is in the range of 0.1-0.2mm.
[0020] As a further improvement, the splash guard includes a planting trough between adjacent through holes, a rootstock hole communicating with a water storage tank in the middle of the planting trough, a multi-leaved plant is planted in the planting trough, the plant roots enter the water storage tank through the rootstock hole, and the multi-leaved plant leaves guide and deflect the water flow.
[0021] As a further improvement, the connector includes a plurality of overflow holes provided in the inner high area of the water storage tank on the side away from the fountain platform, and a positioning hook is provided on the side of the foam layer facing the overflow holes.
[0022] By inserting and fixing the positioning hook into the overflow hole, one side of the foam layer is always fixedly connected to the high area inside the water storage tank, while the other side of the foam layer is in a movable state. When the water in the water storage tank decreases, the height of the foam layer on the movable side decreases, and when the water in the water storage tank increases, the height of the foam layer on the movable side increases.
[0023] Beneficial effects:
[0024] This invention features a splash-proof component installed in the water storage tank beneath the fountain platform. This splash-proof component effectively absorbs the kinetic energy of the water flow, especially the impact force of water falling directly from the overflow area during rapid drainage, preventing water from splashing.
[0025] By creating an overflow area along the outer edge below the fountain platform, and setting a guide section on the outside of the overflow area, the water flow is guided so that when the water flows out slowly, it enters the water storage tank from the edge of the overflow area along the guide section, maintaining a stable water flow and consistent flow rate, and reducing the possibility of splashing.
[0026] For rapid drainage, the water flows directly from the edge of the overflow area onto the splash guard. Due to its greater height, the water is diverted and guided in the opposite direction by the splash guard, preventing the high-velocity water from impacting the outer ground and further reducing outward splashing. This allows for reasonable control of the dynamic changes in water flow. During slow drainage, the water flow velocity is low, and there is no significant splashing, while during rapid drainage, the impact force of the water flow is reduced to the greatest extent through the absorption and guidance of the splash guard.
[0027] Meanwhile, the splash guard can be fixed on one side and is in an active state facing the water storage side. It can automatically adjust the height of the active side of the splash guard according to the increase or decrease of water volume. When the water volume is low, it always maintains an inward tilt, effectively preventing water from splashing outward.
[0028] Compared to existing technologies, this solution offers better splash protection. Traditional fountain structures often fail to effectively suppress water splashing when water is discharged rapidly, leading to water accumulation and slippery conditions in the surrounding area. This solution, through the combination of splash-proof components and guide parts, effectively reduces water splashing and improves safety.
[0029] Furthermore, traditional fountains are generally designed for a single water flow speed, while this solution can accommodate different flow rates simultaneously, allowing for reasonable control and handling of both slow and fast water flows, thus improving the flexibility and applicability of the fountain.
[0030] Because the splash-proof components reduce water splashing, excessive water accumulation around the fountain is prevented, avoiding the hassle of frequent water replenishment and cleaning due to water overflow, thus reducing maintenance costs and manual intervention. It achieves effective regulation and splash control of water flow at different speeds, solving the safety hazards and maintenance problems of traditional fountains with rapid water discharge, demonstrating significant technological advantages.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0041] Example 1
[0042] Reference Figure 1-6 As shown, an outdoor landscape fountain with a splash-proof structure includes:
[0043] A fountain platform 1 is provided with a plurality of water nozzles 11, and an upper water storage area 12 is formed around the water nozzles 11.
[0044] An overflow area 13 is formed at the outer edge below the fountain platform 1, and a guide part 14 is provided on the outer side of the overflow area 13 from top to bottom and inward;
[0045] A water storage tank 2 is provided directly below the overflow area 13, and a splash-proof component 3 is suspended in the water storage tank 2;
[0046] Water flows out slowly, entering the water storage tank 2 from the edge of the overflow area 13 along the guide part 14; water flows out quickly, falling from the edge of the overflow area 13 onto the splash guard 3 directly below, where the splash guard 3 prevents the falling water from splashing out.
[0047] The splash-proof component 3 includes a foam layer 31 and a plurality of splash-proof sheets 32 disposed above the foam layer 31;
[0048] The foam layer 31 secures the splash guard 32 so that it remains suspended inside the water storage tank 2.
[0049] A connector 37 is provided on the outer edge of the foam layer 31 away from the fountain platform 1, and the connector 37 is movably connected to the inner high area of the water storage tank 2 away from the fountain platform 1.
[0050] The foam layer 31 is attached to the bottom of the water storage tank 2 on the side near the fountain platform 1, forming an inward tilted posture to guide the impact water flow to splash inward. As the water in the water storage tank 2 gradually increases, the two ends of the foam layer 31 gradually become flush.
[0051] The foam layer 31 includes a first foam sheet 311 rotatably connected to the outside of the water storage tank 2 via the connector 37, and a second foam sheet 312 rotatably connected to the first foam sheet 311 via a hinge. The hinge is located above the first foam sheet 311 and the second foam sheet 312. When water flows and impacts the connection area between the first foam sheet 311 and the second foam sheet 312, the connection area between the first foam sheet 311 and the second foam sheet 312 is recessed downwards to relieve the force.
[0052] A splash guard 3 is installed in the water storage tank 2 below the fountain platform 1. This splash guard 3 can effectively absorb the kinetic energy of the water flow, especially the impact force of the water flow falling directly from the overflow area 13 when draining water quickly, thus preventing water from splashing.
[0053] By forming an overflow area 13 below the outer edge of the fountain platform 1, and providing a guide part 14 on the outside of the overflow area 13, the water flow is guided so that when the water flows out slowly, the water flows from the edge of the overflow area 13 along the guide part 14 into the water storage tank 2, maintaining the stability and consistency of the water flow and reducing the possibility of splashing.
[0054] For rapid drainage, the water flows directly from the edge of the overflow area 13 onto the splash guard 3, avoiding the impact of high-speed water flow on the ground and further reducing splashing. This allows for reasonable control of the dynamic changes in water flow. During slow drainage, the water flow velocity is low, and no significant splashing occurs, while during rapid drainage, the splash guard 3 absorbs and guides the water flow, minimizing its impact.
[0055] Compared with existing technologies, this solution has a better splash-proof effect. Existing traditional fountain structures are difficult to effectively suppress water splashing when water flows out rapidly, often resulting in water accumulation and slippery conditions in the surrounding area. However, this solution, through the combination of splash-proof component 3 and guide part 14, can effectively reduce water splashing and improve safety.
[0056] Furthermore, traditional fountains are generally designed for a single water flow speed, while this solution can accommodate different flow rates simultaneously, allowing for reasonable control and handling of both slow and fast water flows, thus improving the flexibility and applicability of the fountain.
[0057] Because the anti-splash component 3 reduces water splashing, excessive water accumulation around the fountain is prevented, avoiding the hassle of frequent water replenishment and cleaning due to water overflow, thus reducing maintenance costs and manual intervention. It achieves effective regulation and anti-splash control of water flow at different speeds, solving the safety hazards and maintenance problems of traditional fountains with rapid water discharge, demonstrating significant technical advantages.
[0058] To enhance the splash-proof effect, the design of the splash-proof component 3 has been further improved, adopting a combined structure of a foam layer 31 and splash-proof sheets 32. Specifically, the splash-proof component 3 includes a foam layer 31 and a plurality of sets of splash-proof sheets 32 disposed above the foam layer 31;
[0059] The splash guard 32 is fixed inside the water storage tank 2 by the foam layer 31.
[0060] The foam layer 31 effectively disperses the kinetic energy of the water flow by increasing the contact surface area and reducing the direct impact of the water flow, further reducing splashing. The splash guard 32 effectively reduces the impact force of the water flow by cutting the direction and velocity of the water flow, thereby preventing water from splashing. This combined design can provide a stronger damping effect when the water flow falls rapidly, especially in the case of rapid drainage, preventing excessive splashing.
[0061] Furthermore, due to the buoyancy of the foam layer 31, the splash guard 32 can always remain suspended within the water storage tank 2, ensuring its effective operation under any water flow conditions. This buoyancy allows the splash guard 32 to always be in the ideal position, exerting its best splash-proof effect, unaffected by water flow speed or water level fluctuations.
[0062] The foam layer 31 provides an adaptive support structure, and the splash guard 32 is not easily settled or disturbed by water flow, ensuring long-term efficient operation.
[0063] To ensure even water distribution, the foam layer 31 is provided with fine through holes 33, through which the water from above is discharged into the water storage tank 2 below.
[0064] The design of the through holes 33 allows water to be evenly distributed into the water storage tank 2 as it flows through the foam layer 31. The fine through holes 33 help to balance the water pressure over a large area, preventing localized excessively fast or slow water flow and ensuring smooth water discharge.
[0065] This uniform water flow distribution helps prevent the water flow from violently impacting the bottom of the water storage tank 2 or the splash guard 32, avoiding splashing and further reducing damage caused by splashing or unnecessary water waste.
[0066] The foam layer 31 includes a first foam sheet 311 rotatably connected to the outside of the water storage tank 2 via the connector 37, and a second foam sheet 312 rotatably connected to the first foam sheet 311 via a hinge. The hinge is located above the first foam sheet 311 and the second foam sheet 312. When water flows and impacts the connection area between the first foam sheet 311 and the second foam sheet 312, the connection area between the first foam sheet 311 and the second foam sheet 312 is recessed downwards to relieve the force.
[0067] Meanwhile, the fine structure of the through-holes 33 effectively serves as a preliminary filter. As water flows through the through-holes 33 of the foam layer 31, some of the tiny bubbles or particles in the foam layer 31 can be captured, thereby removing impurities from the water and ensuring that the water discharged into the water storage tank 2 is relatively clean. This filtration function can reduce the accumulation of solid particles in the water flow, helping to keep the fountain equipment clean and reducing the risk of equipment wear and clogging.
[0068] As water flows through the foam layer 31 and into the water storage tank 2 through the fine perforations 33, the water flow is slowed down and guided, thus reducing noise caused by the rapid impact of the water flow. In this way, a quieter and more peaceful water flow effect can be achieved, enhancing the viewing experience of the fountain or water feature.
[0069] In addition, the diameter of the through hole 33 can generally be designed between 1 and 3 millimeters. This size can effectively limit the water flow speed, prevent the water flow from impacting the equipment too fast, and also prevent large particles from passing through, thus playing a certain filtering role.
[0070] The density of the through-holes 33 is usually adjusted according to the needs of the overall design. To ensure uniform water flow, the through-holes 33 should be distributed relatively densely. The number of through-holes 33 per square centimeter is usually designed to be between 5 and 15.
[0071] By setting fine through holes 33 on the foam layer 31, water flow can be discharged more evenly, reducing water flow impact and splashing. It can also improve the filtration effect of water flow, control water flow speed, reduce noise, and enhance the stability of the foam layer 31.
[0072] To further reduce water splashing, the design of the splash guard 32 has been improved by adopting a combined structure of flexible support rods 34 and flexible blades 35. Specifically, the splash guard 32 includes several sets of flexible support rods 34 inserted into the foam layer 31, and several sets of flexible blades 35 fixedly installed on the flexible support rods 34. The water impact is deflected and guided by the flexible blades 35 and the flexible support rods 34.
[0073] As a further improvement, the diameter of the flexible support rod 34 is in the range of 0.5-3mm, and the thickness of the flexible blade 35 is in the range of 0.1-0.2mm.
[0074] The flexible blades 35 and flexible support rods 34 of the splash guard 32 effectively guide the water flow, preventing it from directly impacting the ground or equipment and reducing water splashing. This is crucial for fountain and water feature systems, keeping the surrounding environment dry and reducing the risk of water damage to equipment.
[0075] The flexible blades 35 act as buffers and guides, effectively dispersing the impact force of the water flow and preventing the strong force of the water flow directly impacting the water storage tank 2 or surrounding facilities.
[0076] The elastic properties of the flexible support rod 34 allow the splash guard 32 to bend or vibrate appropriately when impacted by water flow, thereby dispersing the impact force in multiple directions, rather than just a single direction. This helps reduce the impact of concentrated water flow on a specific area, effectively preventing splashing and allowing the water flow to spread more evenly.
[0077] Furthermore, the combination of flexible support rod 34 and flexible blade 35 makes the water flow unloading process smoother, which helps to reduce the pressure on the fountain equipment and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0078] The flexible support rod 34 and the flexible blade 35 are both made of rubber or plastic.
[0079] In this embodiment, the diameter range of the flexible support rod 34 is (0.5-3mm):
[0080] Because excessively thin flexible support rods 34 (less than 0.5 mm) may result in insufficient support and inability to effectively withstand the impact of water flow, while excessively thick support rods (greater than 3 mm) may result in a rigid structure, reducing the flexibility and adaptability of the splash guard 32.
[0081] The thickness of the flexible blade 35 determines its flexibility and water flow resistance. Blades with a thickness between 0.1mm and 0.2mm maintain good flexibility to adapt to changes in water flow while withstanding a certain amount of water pressure, preventing breakage or failure under strong water flow. Thinner blades (0.1mm) offer better flexibility and water flow guidance, while excessively thick blades (greater than 0.2mm) may reduce flexibility, affect the pressure relief effect, and lead to poor water flow guidance.
[0082] Therefore, by appropriately sized the flexible support rod 34 and the flexible blade 35, water flow can be effectively guided, splashing reduced, and the durability and stability of the splash guard 32 improved. The diameter range of the flexible support rod 34 (0.5-3mm) and the thickness range of the flexible blade 35 (0.1-0.2mm) ensure a balance between the structure's elasticity and load-bearing capacity, while providing strong water flow guidance and stress relief functions, thereby enhancing the overall performance and service life of the fountain system.
[0083] In this embodiment, the diameter of the flexible support rod 34 and the flexible blade 35 is 1 mm, and the thickness of the flexible blade 35 is 0.1 mm.
[0084] To enhance its decorative function, a connector 37 is provided along one outer edge of the splash guard component 3. This connector 37 movably connects to the inner, high-positioned area of the water storage tank 2 on the side away from the fountain platform 1. When the water storage tank 2 is empty, the splash guard 32 hangs on the inner outer surface of the water storage tank 2, forming a decorative wall. The splash guard component 3 is also provided along one outer edge of the splash guard component 3, which movably connects to the inner, high-positioned area of the water storage tank 2 on the side away from the fountain platform 1. When the water storage tank 2 is empty, the splash guard component 3 hangs on the inner outer surface of the water storage tank 2, forming a decorative wall.
[0085] When the water tank 2 is empty, the splash guard 3 no longer functions as a water guide; instead, it is attached to the outside of the water tank 2 via a movable connection, forming a decorative wall. This design not only enhances the functionality of the splash guard 3 but also improves the overall aesthetics of the landscape, preventing the empty water tank 2 from appearing monotonous and dull.
[0086] The wall-mounted design of the splash guard component 3 can increase the sense of layering in the landscape and provide a visual aesthetic effect. Especially when the pool is not full of water, the splash guard component 3 can still play a decorative role and keep the landscape intact.
[0087] The specific splash-proof component 3 is used for a fixed connection component. The connection component includes a plurality of overflow holes 371 provided in the inner high area of the water storage tank 2 away from the fountain platform 1, and a positioning hook 372 provided on the side of the foam layer 31 facing the overflow holes 371.
[0088] By inserting and fixing the positioning hook 372 into the overflow hole 371, one side of the foam layer 31 is always fixedly connected to the high area inside the water storage tank 2, while the other side of the foam layer 31 is in a movable state. When the water in the water storage tank 2 decreases, the height of the foam layer 31 on the movable side decreases, and when the water in the water storage tank 2 increases, the height of the foam layer 31 on the movable side increases.
[0089] By fixing one side of the foam layer 31 to a high position inside the water storage tank 2, the other side of the foam layer 31 can move when the water level changes. As the water level in the water storage tank 2 increases or decreases, the height of the foam layer 31 will be adjusted accordingly.
[0090] The height of the foam layer 31 is directly related to the water level in the water tank 2. When the water level rises, the foam layer 31 automatically increases in height for better coverage; when the water level drops, the foam layer 31 decreases in height to reduce unnecessary foam accumulation. This adaptive function automatically adjusts the effect of the foam layer 31 according to changes in water level, ensuring that the overall effect of the water feature remains optimal at all times.
[0091] By fixing the foam layer 31 to the higher side using the positioning hook 372, it is ensured that the foam layer 31 maintains a suitable floating range when the water level changes, without the need for manual adjustment. This enhances the intelligence and automation level of the system.
[0092] The height of the foam layer 31 is closely connected to the water level of the water storage tank 2, preventing excessive accumulation or overflow of the foam layer 31 when the water level is too high, thus avoiding waste of foam and clutter in the water feature area. Through this automatic adjustment function, the foam layer 31 can be reasonably matched with the water level, reducing unnecessary resource waste.
[0093] Furthermore, the overflow hole 371 is designed to guide water out when the water level is too high, preventing the foam layer 31 from malfunctioning or forming unsightly water accumulation when the water level is too high. Through the adaptive adjustment of the height of the foam layer 31, the water level in the water storage tank 2 is also effectively controlled.
[0094] As the water level in the reservoir 2 changes, the height of the foam layer 31 will change accordingly, creating a dynamic visual effect. This increases the dynamism and dynamism of the water feature, avoiding a monotonous and static landscape design. This dynamic adjustment of the water feature can attract the viewer's attention and enhance the attractiveness of the landscape.
[0095] Example 2
[0096] Reference Figure 6As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except that the splash guard 32 includes a planting trough 36 between adjacent through holes 33, and a root and stem hole 361 communicating with the water storage tank 2 is provided in the middle of the planting trough 36. Multi-leaved plants 362 are planted in the planting trough 36, and the plant roots and stems enter the water storage tank 2 through the root and stem hole 361. The leaves of the multi-leaved plants 362 deflect and guide the water flow.
[0097] The leaves of the leafy plant 362 can effectively guide and deflect water flow, reducing the direct impact of the water and thus preventing splashing or spraying. The plant leaves also act as a "softener" for the water flow, reducing its impact on the surrounding area and minimizing the area of splashing.
[0098] Through the natural regulatory function of plants, the water flow can be buffered and guided as it passes through the splash guard 32, ensuring the stability of the water flow and avoiding violent fluctuations. This method is more natural and efficient than mechanical force-dissipating devices.
[0099] The addition of planter troughs 36 to the splash guard 32 enhances the system's ecological character. Plants not only beautify the environment but also improve air quality and elevate the overall natural ambiance of the water feature system. The growth and changes in the leafy plants 362 also add dynamism and seasonal variation, making the water feature system more vibrant.
[0100] It is important to emphasize the water purification effect of plants. The root system of the leafy plant 362 can help purify the water in the water storage tank 2 by absorbing some nutrients (such as nitrogen and phosphorus) to reduce pollutants in the water and promote water quality improvement. The growth of plant roots not only reduces the accumulation of harmful substances in the water, but also maintains ecological balance and reduces algae growth and water quality deterioration in the water feature system.
[0101] By connecting the plant roots and stems to the water tank 2, the plants can interact well with the water, increase the circulation and flow of the water, and help improve the self-regulation ability of the water feature area, thereby reducing dependence on external energy and reflecting a more environmentally friendly and sustainable design concept.
[0102] By incorporating planting troughs 36 within the splash guard 32 and planting leafy plants 362, combined with the connection between plant roots and the water storage tank 2 and the guiding effect of plant leaves, this design not only significantly improves ecological and aesthetic aspects but also reduces water splashing and impact through the natural stress-relief and water flow guidance functions of the plants, optimizing the overall stability and water quality management of the water feature system. Simultaneously, the introduction of plants brings advantages such as environmental protection and sustainability, making the entire water feature system more intelligent and biodiverse, with greater adaptability and long-term maintainability.

However, under the premise that those skilled in the art understand the principle of the above utility model, the specific details of its power mechanism, power supply system and control system can be clearly understood. The control method in the application document is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming.

The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and the structure and principle of the components known to those skilled in the art can be known by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
