Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Automatically collect rainwater that does not contain impurities. [Structure] A rotating body having a horizontal rotating shaft between one end formed to cover the opening of the rainwater collecting bottle and the other end to which the water absorbing body is assembled, and a frame supporting the rotating body via the rotating shaft. When the water absorber is dry, the rotor is held horizontally to close the opening of the rainwater collection bottle, but if the water absorber contains rainwater, the rotor will tilt due to the change in weight balance and An automatic rainwater extractor with an opening. When the collection bottle collects a predetermined amount of rainwater, the weight of the collection bottle causes the spring of the collection bottle tray to bend, and the lid closes due to the linking action.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]     [0001] [Industrial application]   This invention is for acid rain inspection that automatically collects rainwater that does not contain impurities when it rains. It relates to measuring instruments.     [0002] [Conventional technology]   Conventionally, every time a person involved in measurement takes out rain, a collection bottle is taken outdoors to collect rainwater. Was.     [0003] [Problems to be solved by the invention]   Conventionally, there are the following inconveniences and inconveniences. 1) Every time it rains, the person involved in the measurement must take the trouble to perform this work. 2) Also, if you open the lid of the bottle for collection and leave it for a while, dry fallout etc. It is a cause of measurement errors, such as impurities being mixed and the collected rainwater becoming alkaline. It was 3) It is desirable to develop a device that can automatically open and close the lid of the collection bottle without human intervention. Was there.   This proposal was made to eliminate these inconveniences and to make accurate measurements. .     [0004] [Means for solving the problem]   The rotor (1) which covers the upper part of the sampling bottle (8) used in combination with the present invention is The groove (1c) is provided in the bar hang part (1b), and the water absorber (2) is assembled in the groove (1c). wear. Install the rotating shaft (3) between the lid (1a) and the groove (1c) of the rotating body (1). Attach The rotating shaft (3) is supported by the frame (4).   A bottle tray () supported by a spring (5) on the bottom (4a) of the frame (4) 6) is assembled, and the hole (6b) is formed in the overhang portion (6a) of the bin tray (6). The long hole (1e) near the rotating shaft (3) is connected by a link (7).   It is an automatic rainwater harvester having the above configuration.     [0005] [Action]   Rotating body (1) so as to cover the opening of the sampling bottle (8) installed outdoors from falling objects. ) When the lid part (1a) is placed, the water absorbent body (2) is facing down due to its light weight when dried. The force of the mushroom does not work, the rotating body (1) keeps the horizontal posture by the weight balance, and the lid part (1a) closes the opening of the collection bottle. Rainwater wets the water absorber (2) due to rainfall The weight balance around the rotating shaft (3) changes when the slewing is performed, and the rotating body (1) tilts and the lid Part (1a) is lifted. Rainwater falls into the collection bottle. When the rain stopped and the water absorber (2) dried, the weight balance returned to its original state, and the rotor (1) Is in a horizontal position, and the lid portion (1a) closes the collection bottle opening portion. Even if it is raining, if a certain amount of rainwater accumulates in the collection bottle, the saucer (6) will move the spring (5). ), The link (7) mechanically lowers the rotating body (1). Pull down to. The lid (1a) closes the collection bottle opening.     [0006] [Example]   An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Fig. 1 shows a state in which the present invention and a collection bottle are combined and installed, and Fig. 2 shows rainwater. The state that the cover is opened due to the action of the water absorber that becomes heavy due to One end of the rotator (1) and the lid (1a) are formed so as to cover the opening of the collection bottle (8). The groove (1C) of the overhang portion (1b) at the other end does not hold the water absorbent body (2). Drill holes to drain excess rainwater quickly. Or discharge to the position corresponding to the groove Any material can be used as long as it can open water holes and support the water absorbent body (2) so as not to fall. Lid The weight balance is between the part (1a) and the groove (1c) and the weight of the water absorber (2) is a lid when dried. The part (1a) is lowered, and the overhang part (1b) is lowered when the water absorber (2) contains water. A horizontal hole is made at a supporting position such that the rotary shaft (3) is inserted. Lid part (1 When a) is lifted, the weight part is biased to one side and the weight balance is lost and water The balance weight is applied from the side of the rotating body (1) to prevent it from returning to a flat state. Extend part (1d). Rotate the rotating body (1) around the rotating shaft (3) so that it can be opened and closed. The rolling shaft (3) is supported by the frame (4). The lower part of the frame (4a) is the same as the collection bottle It has a shape that can be stably installed on the floor, but it is a band-shaped object that can be held in the collection bottle. But good. You can achieve the purpose with the configuration described above, but collect a predetermined amount After closing, if you want to close the opening of the collection bottle (8), use the following configuration. That is, Expand the lower part of the frame (4a) to the lower part of the sampling bottle and adjust the diameter of the sampling bottle (8) in the center part. Drill a larger hole and install the bin tray (6). The bin tray (6) is a spring ( 5) supports, but the flange (4b) of the frame (4) serves as a stopper for localization Be held in place. The support force of the spring (5) is such that a certain amount of rainwater collects in the sampling bottle. It should be strong enough to bend. Overhang part extending from the bin tray (6) ( Make a hole (6b) at the tip of 6a) and make a hole in the hole (6b) and the side of the rotating body (1). The elongated holes (1e) are connected by a link (7) penetrating the opening (4c). Hole (6b) And how to open the long hole (1e) and attach the link (7) In the state, the collection bottle does not obstruct the opening and closing of the cover, and when a certain amount of rainwater accumulates KU (7) pulls down the rotating body (1) in a horizontal position to close the sampling bottle opening. To Instead of the long hole (1e), a link or cable that can give a stroke a play is provided. Bull may be used.     [0007]   This proposal has the above-mentioned configuration and is installed in combination with a collection bottle at the place where rainwater is planned to be collected. If left in place, the lid of the rotating body closes the sampling bottle opening before rain, but When the water absorber contains rainwater, the rotor automatically tilts and the lid opens, allowing rainwater collection. Be started. The timing of starting rainwater collection can be adjusted by changing the amount of water absorber. Wear. When it rains and the water absorber dries, the weight balance is restored and the rotor Closes the collection bottle opening. If you want to close the lid after collecting an arbitrary amount of rainwater By adjusting the strength of the spring that supports the saucer, the sampling amount can be adjusted arbitrarily. Can be done.     [0008]   [Effect of device] B) The collection bottle opening is automatically opened and closed, so the collection bottle remains outdoors It is good for people to put in and take out sampling bottles at the start or end of rainfall. There is no money. B) After the end of rainfall, the opening of the sampling bottle is automatically closed, so Accurate measurement can be performed without polluting the collected rainwater. C) An arbitrary amount of rainwater can be collected automatically. D) Because the natural energy of rainwater is used to open and close the lid of the collection bottle, the battery It does not require any other artificial energy source and can be used permanently in mountainous remote areas. come.
