This invention discloses a top-floating self-draining
siphon rainwater hopper, comprising a power-accumulating transmission mechanism and a squeezing drainage
assembly. The squeezing drainage
assembly includes a sleeve and a
plunger connected movably. A drainage chamber is formed inside the sleeve, and both the inlet and the drain
pipe are connected to the drainage chamber. The outlet end of the drain
pipe is set lower than the inlet. The power-accumulating transmission mechanism includes a lever, an air-float component, and a limiting component. The lever has a driving end and a contact end. The air-float component is connected to the driving end, and the limiting component is located on the rotation path of the contact end. The lever is connected to the squeezing drainage
assembly. When the air-float component rises under
buoyancy, it can drive the contact end to break through the threshold of the limiting resistance. The lever can drive the
plunger component to squeeze the water accumulated in the drainage chamber, so that the water enters the drain
pipe to form a
siphon negative pressure. This invention is a purely mechanical structure that can automatically accumulate power to trigger and actively establish a
siphon. It is suitable for buildings without openings, realizes centralized drainage across high points on the same floor, has a fast siphon start-up response, low construction and maintenance costs, and stable and reliable operation.
