[0015] 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.

[0016] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A high-level water tank device with automatic cleaning function includes: a fixed frame 1, with a high-level water tank body 2 disposed on the top of the fixed frame 1; an installation mechanism located inside the fixed frame 1 and used for installing the high-level water tank body 2; and a cleaning mechanism located inside the high-level water tank body 2 and used for cleaning the inner wall of the high-level water tank body 2. The cleaning mechanism includes a rotating component and a scraper component. The rotating component is located inside the high-level water tank body 2 and drives the scraper component to rotate. The scraper component is located inside the high-level water tank body 2 and used for cleaning the inner wall of the high-level water tank body 2.

[0017] The rotating assembly includes an inlet pipe 3 installed on one side of the elevated water tank body 2. A rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected inside the elevated water tank body 2. An mounting ring 5 is installed on the outer ring of the rotating rod 4. Side-rotating fan blades 6 are installed on the outer ring of the mounting ring 5. Multiple sets of side-rotating fan blades 6 are arranged in a circumferential array. The scraper assembly includes a connecting strip 7 installed on the front of the rotating rod 4. A cleaning scraper 8 is installed on the front of the connecting strip 7.

[0018] In this embodiment of the utility model, the rotation of the rotating rod 4 directly drives the scraper assembly to move. The connecting strip 7 in the scraper assembly is fixed to the front of the rotating rod 4. The cleaning scraper 8 at the front end of the connecting strip 7 rotates accordingly and closely adheres to the inner wall of the high-level water tank body 2 to scrape, thereby effectively removing impurities and scale attached to the inner wall and preventing accumulation.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The installation mechanism includes an adjusting screw 9 threadedly connected inside the fixed frame 1. A movable plate 10 is installed on one side of the adjusting screw 9, and a locking block 11 is installed on one side of the movable plate 10. An installation plate 12 is installed at the bottom of the high-level water tank body 2. A locking groove is opened inside the installation plate 12, and the locking block 11 slides inside the locking groove. A telescopic rod 13 is installed between the fixed frame 1 and the installation plate 12. Two sets of adjusting screws 9 and movable plates 10 are provided and symmetrically distributed, and two sets of locking blocks 11 and installation plates 12 are provided and symmetrically distributed.

[0020] A water outlet pipe 14 is installed on one side of the high-level water tank body 2 and is located at the bottom of the water inlet pipe 3. A slag discharge port 15 is installed at the bottom of the high-level water tank body 2.

[0021] In this embodiment of the utility model, by rotating the adjusting screw 9 inside the fixed frame 1, the moving plate 10 and the locking block 11 are pushed to move horizontally, so that the locking block 11 is embedded in the slot of the mounting plate 12, thereby firmly locking the high-level water tank body 2 onto the fixed frame 1. The telescopic rod 13 provides buffering and stability between the fixed frame 1 and the mounting plate 12 to prevent the water tank from shaking during cleaning. When maintenance or disassembly of the water tank is required, the locking block 11 can be released by rotating the adjusting screw 9 in the opposite direction, which facilitates quick disassembly.

[0022] When in use, when external water enters the high-level water tank body 2 through the inlet pipe 3 at a certain pressure and flow rate, the core kinetic energy of the water flow acts on the rotating component. The water flow directly impacts multiple sets of side-rotating fan blades 6 installed on the mounting ring 5. These fan blades are arranged in a circumferential array, which optimizes the hydraulic receiving surface, so that the water flow impact force can be converted into rotational torque most effectively. This torque is transmitted to the rotating rod 4, which is rigidly connected to the mounting ring 5, to overcome the frictional resistance at both ends and drive the entire rotating rod 4 assembly to rotate stably around the axis inside the water tank.

[0023] The rotation of the rotating rod 4 directly drives the scraper assembly fixed to its front to move synchronously. The connecting strip 7 acts as a transmission arm, transmitting the rotational motion of the rotating rod 4 to the cleaning scraper 8 at its end. The cleaning scraper 8 is designed so that its working surface maintains close elastic contact with the inner curved surface of the high-level water tank body 2 under the combined action of centrifugal force and water pressure. With the continuous circular motion of the cleaning scraper 8, it systematically scrapes away algae, scale, silt and other impurities attached to the inner wall. The scraped-off impurities do not remain suspended in the water for too long. The cleaning process is carried out simultaneously with the water intake. The newly injected water plays a role in diluting and agitating, preventing the scraped-off impurities from re-attaching. Since the density of impurities is usually greater than that of water, they will naturally settle under the slight disturbance of the water flow. The bottom of the entire water tank is designed to facilitate the collection of sludge. Ultimately, all the settled dirt and scraped-off scale will be collected at the sludge discharge port 15 at the bottom. Users only need to open the sludge discharge valve periodically to quickly discharge the concentrated dirt using the water pressure inside the water tank without shutting down the system.

[0024] Throughout the cleaning process, the rotating parts generate torque and vibration when starting and stopping. The installation mechanism provides crucial stability for this. By rotating the adjusting screw 9, the horizontal movement of the moving plate 10 and its locking block 11 can be precisely controlled. The locking block 11 is precisely embedded in the slot of the mounting plate 12, forming an over-positioning locking mechanism that firmly locks the high-level water tank body 2 onto the fixed frame 1. The symmetrical design on both sides evenly distributes the load. At the same time, the telescopic rod 13 connecting the fixed frame 1 and the mounting plate 12 not only serves as an auxiliary guide, but its internal damping characteristics also absorb the slight vibration during operation, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire device. When major repairs or internal inspections are required, rotating the adjusting screw 9 in the opposite direction can release the lock and easily lift the high-level water tank body 2 away, greatly simplifying the maintenance process.

[0025] 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, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
