Detailed Implementation

[0016] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The rainwater collection and purification device shown includes a water collection tank 1, a guide 2 is provided at one end of the water collection tank 1, a water outlet pipe 21 is provided at the bottom of the guide 2, a filter cover 24 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the guide 2, a connecting part 22 is provided on one side of the guide 2, and a threaded sleeve 25 is fixedly installed at the top middle part of the connecting part 22. A funnel 3 is provided at the bottom of one end of the water collection tank 1. The upper surface of the funnel 3 is inclined, and a filter screen 31 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the funnel 3. A water receiving pipe 4 is installed below the funnel 3, and a conveying pipe 5 is installed on one side above the water receiving pipe 4. The outlet of the conveying pipe 5 is connected to a filter bucket 6, and multiple rainwater tanks 7 are installed on one side of the filter bucket 6.

[0018] In this embodiment, the guide 2 is hollow inside, with a water outlet pipe 21 at the bottom, a filter cover 24 fixed on the upper surface, a connecting part 22 and a threaded sleeve 25 on the side, and the bottom connected to the support rod 26 through the threaded sleeve. The filter cover 24 is a stainless steel mesh with a mesh size of 2-5mm, which intercepts large particles such as leaves and insects to prevent clogging of subsequent pipes. The water outlet pipe 21 is precisely aligned with the funnel 3 to ensure that rainwater falls vertically, reducing impact and splashing. The filter screen 31 is designed to filter smaller suspended particles such as clumps of mud and petals, and its inclined surface accelerates the water flow, reducing impurity retention and accumulation.

[0019] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the water collection trough 1 is fixedly installed at the eaves, and a placement groove is opened at one end of the water collection trough 1. The guide 2 is located in the placement groove, and the water outlet pipe 21 at the lower end of the guide 2 passes through the bottom of one end of the water collection trough 1 and corresponds to the funnel 3.

[0020] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a positioning pin 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the water collection tank 1, and the top two ends of the connecting part 22 of the flow guide 2 are provided with insertion holes 23 that are compatible with the positioning pin 11, and a support rod 26 is threadedly installed at the bottom of the threaded sleeve 25.

[0021] In this embodiment, the water collection trough 1 is fixedly installed at the eaves, with an opening at the top to collect rainwater and a placement groove at one end to embed the guide device 2. The inclined design of the water collection trough 1 guides rainwater to quickly flow into the guide device 2, the placement groove ensures the guide device 2 is installed in a precise position, and the cooperation between the positioning pin 11 and the insertion hole 23 enhances structural stability, can withstand strong winds and other severe weather, and is suitable for long-term outdoor use. The threaded sleeve 25 is connected to the support rod 26, so that the guide device 2 can be easily removed from the water collection trough 1 and quickly installed through the support rod 26, avoiding the need to climb to the top to clean the impurities attached to the filter cover 24.

[0022] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the upper inlet of the water pipe 4 is connected to the lower outlet of the funnel 3, and the lower end of the water pipe 4 is provided with a sinking part 41. The bottom of the sinking part 41 is provided with a drain outlet, and the drain outlet is sealed by a bottom cover.

[0023] In this embodiment, the recessed part 41 of the water inlet pipe 4 is inverted cone-shaped, which utilizes the difference in water flow velocity to allow heavy pollutants such as silt and metal fragments to settle naturally. The bottom drain port is easy to clean regularly without tools; simply unscrew the bottom cover. The position of the delivery pipe 5 is designed to be relatively high, allowing the delivery pipe 5 to draw water from a high position, preventing bottom silt from entering the filter bucket 6, extending the service life of the filter media, and reducing the risk of clogging.

[0024] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the delivery pipe 5 is located near the top of the water inlet pipe 4, the outlet port of the delivery pipe 5 is connected to the inlet port at the top of the filter bucket 6, and the filter bucket 6 is filled with filter materials such as activated carbon and quartz sand.

[0025] In this embodiment, the quartz sand in the filter tank 6 filters out fine particles such as colloids and microorganisms, while the activated carbon adsorbs organic matter, odors, and heavy metal ions, ensuring that the water quality meets the standards for non-drinking water. The filter tank 6 is connected to the delivery pipe 5 by a flange or flexible hose clamp, allowing the tank to be disassembled separately. When replacing the filter media, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire pipeline, making the operation simple.

[0026] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, multiple rainwater tanks 7 are connected sequentially via conduits. The lower end of the filter bucket 6 is connected to one rainwater tank 7 via a conduit. The funnel 3 and the water inlet pipe 4 are both fixed to the outer wall of the building using mounting hardware. The number of rainwater tanks 7 can be expanded according to water consumption, enhancing emergency water storage capacity in arid regions. The rainwater tanks 7 can be suspended from the outer wall or placed on the ground, without occupying indoor space, making them suitable for rural courtyards or mountainous terrain.

[0027] The working process of the rainwater collection and purification device provided by this utility model is as follows: Rainwater collects through the top opening of the collection trough 1 and flows along the inclined trough to the guide 2. The filter cover 24 on the upper surface of the guide 2, with its stainless steel mesh, intercepts large particles such as leaves and insects. The preliminarily purified rainwater then flows vertically from the outlet pipe 21 through the hollow cavity inside the guide 2 into the inclined filter screen 31 of the funnel 3. The filter screen 31 on the inclined surface of the funnel 3 filters out smaller suspended solids such as clumps of mud and petals. The inclined design accelerates the water flow and reduces impurity adhesion. Afterward, the rainwater flows from the lower end of the funnel 3 into the receiving pipe 4. In the lower section 41, due to the reduced flow velocity, heavy pollutants such as mud, metal fragments, etc., settle at the inverted conical bottom. Because the connection point of the delivery pipe 5 is close to the top of the receiving pipe 4, only the upper layer of clean water flows into the filter bucket 6, preventing the bottom layer of mud and sand from being drawn in.

[0028] Rainwater enters the filter tank 6 through the delivery pipe 5, where it passes through a quartz sand layer to filter fine particles, a microorganism layer, and an activated carbon layer to adsorb organic matter, odors, and heavy metals, completing deep purification. The purified rainwater flows from the bottom of the filter tank into the rainwater tank 7. Multiple tanks can be connected in series via conduits to increase storage capacity. In arid regions, valves can be used to control the priority storage in the final tank as an emergency water source.

[0029] After each heavy rain, the threaded sleeve 25 must be loosened using the support rod 26 to remove the guide tube 2 from the water collection tank 1, and the filter cover 24 and funnel filter screen 31 must be removed and rinsed with clean water to remove impurities. The bottom cover of the sink 41 must also be unscrewed to remove the deposited mud and sand, rinsed, and then resealed.

[0030] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
