Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of building construction, in particular to an anti-clogging self-cleaning rainwater bucket.

Background Art

In the existing downspout system, the rain gutter is a vital component. It is usually installed at the entrance where the roof rainwater enters the rainwater pipe from the gutter. The main purpose of its design is to quickly drain the rainwater and snow water from the roof while avoiding the formation of excessive vortex, stabilizing the water level and reducing aeration.

However, although the existing rain gutter design meets the needs of drainage and anti-blocking to a certain extent, there are still some problems and shortcomings in actual application: although the rain gutter can filter out large debris, its filtering effect is not ideal for some fine impurities, such as sand, insects, etc. These fine impurities will gradually accumulate inside the rain gutter during long-term use, resulting in blockage of the rain gutter and affecting the drainage effect. The inability to discharge rainwater in time not only affects the structural safety of the roof, but also brings inconvenience to people's daily life.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with FIG. 1-FIG . 2 .

The embodiment of the invention discloses an anti-clogging self-cleaning rainwater bucket.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, an anti-clogging self-cleaning rain gutter includes a rain gutter body 1, a water inlet 2 is arranged around the rain gutter body 1, and a filter screen 3 is fixedly installed at the water inlet 2. The filter screen 3 has fine mesh holes and is used for preliminarily filtering large impurities in rainwater, such as leaves, paper scraps and other common impurities; a support frame 4 is installed on the inner side of the rain gutter body 1, and the support frame 4 supports the rain gutter body 1. The filter screen 3 is closely connected with the rain gutter body 1 through a solid support frame 4. The filter screen 3 adopts a detachable design, which is convenient for cleaning and replacement; a cleaning mechanism 5 for cleaning the filter screen 3 is arranged inside the support frame 4.

A mesh cover 6 is movably provided on the top of the rain gutter body 1, and the bottom edge of the mesh cover 6 is in contact with the filter 3. A spring 7 is connected between the top of the mesh cover 6 and the support frame 4. The mesh cover 6 is located above the filter 3 and forms a sealing state with the filter 3. The spring 7 provides elastic force to enable the mesh cover 6 to move up and down; as time goes by and the impurities in the rainwater increase, when the filter 3 needs to be cleaned more thoroughly, the user can pull the mesh cover 6 upward to separate it from the filter 3. After cleaning, release the mesh cover 6. The elastic force of the spring 7 can ensure that the mesh cover 6 automatically resets after cleaning and maintains a close fit with the filter 3.

A water outlet 8 is arranged at the bottom of the rain gutter body 1 and a secondary filter screen 9 is arranged at the position of the water outlet 8. The secondary filter screen 9 performs deep filtration on the rainwater. The rainwater preliminarily filtered by the filter screen 3 will further pass through the secondary filter screen 9. The secondary filter screen 9 has a finer pore size and can also intercept finer impurities in the rainwater such as sand, insects, etc.

The water outlet 8 is connected to the siphon discharge pipe 10, and the siphon discharge pipe 10 is fixed at the water outlet 8 of the rain gutter body 1 by a flange or other connection methods. An impeller 23 is arranged inside the siphon discharge pipe 10, and the siphon principle is used to accelerate the discharge of rainwater. The siphon discharge pipe 10 has self-cleaning ability and can effectively prevent internal blockage. At the same time, the siphon discharge pipe can also reduce the pipe diameter, save material costs, and reduce on-site construction volume.

1 and 2 , the cleaning mechanism 5 includes a vertical rotating shaft 11, the end of which cooperates with a bearing 12 arranged on the support frame 4, and a plurality of rotating plates 13 are arranged around the rotating shaft 11 along the axis. The rotating plates 13 rotate driven by the rotating shaft 11, and bristles 14 are arranged on the outer end of the rotating plate 13 and contact with the inner wall of the filter 3 to remove impurities on the filter 3.

The automatic rotation of the rotating plate 13 mainly depends on the natural impact force of rainwater. When rainwater flows into the rain gutter body 1, the water flow will impact the rotating plate 13. Due to the shape of the rotating plate 13 and the filter holes 21 distributed on the rotating plate 13, the rainwater will disperse and flow through the rotating plate 13, and form a uniform water flow layer on the rotating plate 13. At the same time, a rotational torque is generated on the rotating plate 13, and this torque will push the rotating plate 13 to start rotating around the rotating shaft 11. As the rotating plate 13 rotates, impurities attached to the rotating plate 13 will be thrown out of the rain gutter body 1 by centrifugal force. In order to ensure that the rotation speed of the rotating plate 13 is moderate, the impact force and rotational torque of the water flow on the rotating plate 13 can be controlled by adjusting the design parameters of the rotating plate 13 such as shape, size, filter hole size, etc.

1 and 2 , the extending end of the rotating shaft 11 passes through the supporting frame 4 and is connected to the driving mechanism 15 . The driving mechanism 15 includes a transmission member 16 and a power member 17 . The power member 17 includes a motor. A damper or a reducer is installed on the rotating shaft at the output end of the motor to limit the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 11 . The power member 17 is communicatively connected with a controller 18 arranged on the outside of the rain gutter body 1 .

1 and 2 , a water level sensor 19 and an impurity detection sensor 20 are installed inside the rain gutter body 1 . The impurity detection sensor 20 is embedded and installed on the support frame 4 . Both the water level sensor 19 and the impurity detection sensor 20 are communicatively connected to the controller 18 .

The electric rotation of the rotating plate 13 is controlled by the controller 18. When impurities accumulate to a certain extent, the impurity detection sensor 20 will send a signal to the controller 18 for control. 18 receives the signal to start the driving mechanism 18, driving the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The bristles 14 at the outer end of the rotating plate 13 have a certain flushing effect on the filter screen 3, remove the impurities on the filter screen 3, and discharge the impurities through the water outlet 8.

1 and 2 , the rotating plate 13 is a disc-shaped or fan-shaped structure. This design can ensure that rainwater can be evenly distributed and flow through the rotating plate 13 while increasing the rotational torque. A plurality of filter holes 21 are evenly distributed on the rotating plate 13, allowing rainwater to pass through but intercepting small impurities. A counterweight is installed on the rotating plate 13, which can help the rotating plate 13 maintain balance during rotation and reduce vibration and noise.

1 and 2 , the filter screen 3 and the secondary filter screen 9 are both made of stainless steel mesh, and porous materials such as nylon mesh or polymer material mesh may also be used. It is necessary to ensure that they have good filtering performance and sufficient strength and durability. The aperture of the secondary filter screen 9 is smaller than that of the filter screen 3, and a wiper 24 is provided on the outside of the filter screen 3.

1 and 2 , the rain gutter body 1 is designed in a funnel shape as the basis of the overall structure. The cross-sectional area of the rain gutter body 1 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The rain gutter body 1 is made of corrosion-resistant materials to ensure its stability and durability in various harsh environments. The rain gutter body 1 is designed in a funnel shape to meet the coordinated work of various components. The top of the rain gutter body 1 is wide to collect as much rainwater as possible, and the bottom gradually decreases to concentrate the water flow and guide it to the outlet 8.

1 , a waterproof layer 22 is pre-buried on the ground around the rain gutter body 1 to prevent leakage.

The implementation principle of the anti-clogging self-cleaning rain gutter of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: rainwater flows into the rain gutter body 1 from the water inlet 8, first passes through the preliminary filtration of the filter screen 3 to remove large impurities, and passes through the secondary filter screen 9 inside the rain gutter body 1 and the filter holes 21 of the rotating plate 13 to intercept fine impurities such as sand and insects in the rainwater. These fine impurities will accumulate inside the rain gutter body 1, and the impact force of the rainwater will drive the rotating plate 13 to automatically rotate at a low speed, so that the impurities are thrown out of the rain gutter body 1; when the impurities accumulate to a certain extent, the impurity detection sensor The sensor 20 detects impurities, and the controller 18 controls the rotating plate 13 to rotate electrically. The rotating plate 13 rotates at a constant speed to throw out the impurities. The bristles 14 at the outer end of the rotating plate 13 remove the impurities on the filter screen 3 and discharge the impurities through the water outlet 8. When the filter screen 3 needs to be cleaned more thoroughly, the user can pull the mesh cover 6 upward to separate it from the filter screen 3 and clean the impurities on the filter screen 3. After cleaning, the mesh cover 6 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 7 can ensure that the mesh cover 6 automatically resets after cleaning. The filtered and cleaned rainwater is quickly discharged through the siphon discharge pipe 10.

The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
