Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater harvesting technology, specifically an environmentally friendly rainwater harvesting device for garden landscapes. Background Technology

[0002] Because rooftop rainwater is relatively clean with fewer impurities and pollutants, rainwater collection devices are installed on the roofs of garden buildings (such as pavilions, corridors, and management rooms) when rainwater collection is needed. Rainwater is typically collected using rain hoppers, which are installed at the roof drains and quickly guide rainwater into the rainwater pipes. For example, in a pavilion in a Chinese garden, square copper rain hoppers are installed at the four corners of the roof drains. Rainwater flows through the hoppers into vertical rainwater pipes and is then transported to a rainwater collection tank.

[0003] However, because many rainwater harvesting devices in garden buildings are installed on rooftops, it is difficult to properly arrange rainwater harvesting devices in garden areas, especially low-lying green areas such as lawns, thus reducing the efficiency of rainwater harvesting. Therefore, an environmentally friendly rainwater harvesting device for garden landscapes is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an environmentally friendly rainwater collection device for garden landscapes, which solves the problem that current rainwater collection devices for garden landscapes are mostly installed on building roofs, and rainwater cannot be effectively collected in open areas, resulting in poor collection efficiency.

[0006] The lifting assembly includes a telescopic rod and a slide fixed to the output end of the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod is fixed inside the water tank, and the slide is slidably connected inside the water tank. By driving the slide to slide inside the water tank through the telescopic rod, the foldable collection assembly can be lifted and lowered, so that the foldable collection assembly can be stored inside the water tank.

[0007] The foldable collection assembly includes a lead screw, a collar, rotating plates, a pull rod, a waterproof elastic fabric, and a drive motor. The drive motor is fixed to a slide. The lead screw is parallel to the water tank and fixed to the drive shaft of the drive motor. The collar is threaded onto the lead screw. Several rotating plates are hinged above the slide. A pull rod is hinged between the collar and the rotating plates. Waterproof elastic fabric is connected between adjacent rotating plates. The drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the collar to move up and down. When the collar moves upward, the pull rod can pull the rotating plates closer to the lead screw, thus retracting the waterproof elastic fabric for folding. When the collar moves downward, the pull rod can push the rotating plates downward, unfolding the waterproof elastic fabric. The telescopic rod is an electric telescopic rod or a cylinder, and is waterproof.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a lighting assembly is provided on the outside of the water tank.

This allows the device to also function as a street light, improving its versatility.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a water pump is fixed inside the base, and the base and the water tank are connected via the water pump. This allows the rainwater collected in the water tank to be discharged and utilized through the water pump, thus improving environmental friendliness.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a cover plate is connected to the top of the lead screw. The cover plate seals the top of the water tank, ensuring that the collected rainwater is not contaminated by subsequent opening, while also protecting the internal components of the water tank.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the inner wall of the water tank is provided with a sliding groove, and a slider is fixed to the side of the slide block and slidably connected to the sliding groove. By setting the slider to slidably connect within the sliding groove, the stability of the slide block during lifting and lowering is improved.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a first drain hole and a second drain hole are respectively provided above and below the slide. The first and second drain holes are used to collect and drain rainwater.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention features a foldable design that allows the collection components to be completely stored inside the water tank, reducing space occupation when not in use and making it suitable for compact environments such as urban gardens. It combines rainwater collection, lighting, and convenient drainage functions, enhancing the device's practicality and environmental value. The unfolding or retraction process is controlled by a drive motor and telescopic rod, simplifying operation and reducing maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: an environmentally friendly garden landscape rainwater collection device, including a base 1, a water tank 2 is arranged above the base 1, a lifting component 3 is arranged inside the water tank 2, and a foldable collection component 4 is arranged above the lifting component 3.

[0024] The lifting assembly 3 includes a telescopic rod 301 and a slide 302 fixed at the output end of the telescopic rod 301. The telescopic rod 301 is fixed inside the water tank 2, and the slide 302 is slidably connected inside the water tank 2. By driving the slide 302 to slide inside the water tank 2 through the telescopic rod 301, the lifting of the foldable collection assembly 4 can be realized, so that the foldable collection assembly 4 can be stored inside the water tank 2.

[0025] The foldable collection assembly 4 includes a lead screw 401, a collar 402, a rotating plate 403, a pull rod 404, a waterproof elastic fabric 405, and a drive motor 406. The drive motor 406 is fixed on the slide block 302. The lead screw 401 is parallel to the water tank 2 and fixed on the drive shaft of the drive motor 406. The collar 402 is threaded onto the lead screw 401. Several rotating plates 403 are hinged above the slide block 302. A pull rod 404 is hinged between the collar 402 and the rotating plates 403. The waterproof elastic fabric 405 is connected between adjacent rotating plates 403. By driving the lead screw 401 to rotate through the drive motor 406, the lead screw 401 drives the collar 402 to move up and down. When the collar 402 moves upward, the pull rod 404 can pull the rotating plate 403 closer to the lead screw 401, thereby retracting the waterproof elastic fabric 405 for folding. When the collar 402 moves downward, the pull rod 404 can be used to push the rotating plate 403 downward, unfolding the waterproof elastic fabric 405. The telescopic rod 301 is an electric telescopic rod 301 or a cylinder, etc., and has waterproof capability.

[0026] Furthermore, a lighting assembly 5 is provided on the outside of the water tank 2. The lighting assembly 5 includes a control base 501 and a lighting lamp 502 connected to the control base 501. The control base 501 is fixed to the outside of the water tank 2. This allows the device to also be used as a street lamp, improving its versatility.

[0027] Furthermore, a water pump 6 is fixed inside the base 1, and the base 1 and the water tank 2 are connected by the water pump 6. This allows the rainwater collected in the water tank 2 to be discharged and utilized through the water pump 6, thus improving environmental friendliness.

[0028] Furthermore, a cover plate 7 is connected to the top of the lead screw 401. The cover plate 7 seals the upper end of the water tank 2, ensuring that the collected rainwater is not contaminated by subsequent opening, and also protecting the relevant components inside the water tank 2.

[0029] Furthermore, a groove 201 is provided on the inner wall of the water tank 2, and a slider 3021 that is slidably connected to the groove 201 is fixed on the side of the slide block 302. By setting the slider 3021 to be slidably connected in the groove 201, the stability of the slide block 302 during lifting is improved.

[0030] Furthermore, a first drain hole 3022 and a second drain hole 3023 are respectively provided above and below the slide 302. The first drain hole 3022 and the second drain hole 3023 are provided for collecting and draining rainwater.

[0031] In summary, during use, the device utilizes a drive motor 406 to rotate the lead screw 401, causing the collar 402 to move downwards. This, in turn, pushes the rotating plate 403 to unfold via the pull rod 404, expanding the waterproof elastic fabric 405 to form a collection surface. Rainwater flows into the water tank 2 through the unfolded waterproof elastic fabric 405. When folding, the drive motor 406 reverses direction, the collar 402 moves upwards, the pull rod 404 pulls the rotating plate 403 to fold, and the waterproof elastic fabric 405 retracts. The entire assembly is then retracted into the water tank 2 via the lifting component 3, minimizing space occupation. For height adjustment, the telescopic rod 301 drives the slide 302 to slide up and down, raising and lowering the foldable collection assembly 4, facilitating height adjustment or complete retraction into the water tank 2. The water pump 6 can extract rainwater from the water tank 2 for irrigation or cleaning, achieving resource recycling. The external lighting 502 of the water tank 2 can be used as a street light, enhancing nighttime functionality.

[0032] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a master control button. Since the device matched with the control button is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
