This invention relates to the field of
rainwater harvesting technology for
sponge campuses, and discloses a
rainwater harvesting device and its usage method for
sponge campuses. The device includes a buried
pipe, a connecting
pipe, and a collection box connected in sequence. The top of the buried
pipe has an arc-shaped, elastic, permeable shell that extends above the ground. Inside the shell is a pneumatic self-cleaning structure composed of a sliding groove,
piston shaft, sliding plate, spring, and air holes. The bottom of the inner shell has a pressurized flushing component. The connecting pipe has a worm gear driven crushing component. The collection box is divided into an interception chamber and a
sedimentation chamber by an inclined filter screen. This invention removes surface debris by pressing down the permeable shell, combined with pneumatic pipe unblocking, in-situ
impurity crushing, and rainwater
sedimentation and grading treatment, ensuring
rainwater harvesting efficiency, reducing operation and maintenance difficulty and costs, realizing rainwater
resource utilization, and meeting the needs of
sponge campus construction. It solves the problems of existing flat-grid rainwater inlets in campuses being easily blocked by fallen leaves and other debris, large impurities causing pipe
siltation, and high daily maintenance costs.
