[0002] In existing technologies, traditional rainwater harvesting cisterns mainly consist of a water storage tank, a waterproof membrane, inlet and outlet pipes, and a soil-proof layer. The water storage tank stores the collected rainwater, the waterproof membrane prevents water leakage and ensures effective water conservation, the inlet pipes guide rainwater from the catchment area into the water storage tank, and the outlet pipes facilitate the use of the stored rainwater. The soil-proof layer protects the cistern structure, prevents soil erosion and collapse, and extends its service life. These components work together to ensure the efficient operation and long-term stability of the rainwater harvesting cisterns.
[0003] However, traditional rainwater collection silos, due to their hollow interior, are still subject to gradual erosion by soil or rainwater after prolonged use, even with the protection of an anti-soil layer. This leads to structural instability and potential damage to the silos, resulting in a short overall lifespan. To address these issues, this invention proposes a reinforced structure for rainwater collection silos. Utility Model Content

[0023] Water collection module 4, the water collection module 4 is arranged in multiples in the water collection tank 1, the water collection module 4 is composed of upper collection module 5 and lower collection module 6, a water pumping pipe 7 is inserted between the water collection modules 4, and a mud discharge pipe 8 is provided next to the water pumping pipe 7.
[0024] In use, the overall structural strength can be improved by the reinforcing layer 3 covering the outside of the water collection tank 1. The water collection module 4 inside the water collection tank 1 is made of PP material, which has high structural strength, corrosion resistance and light weight. This can strengthen the overall structure of the water collection tank 1 and prevent algae from growing inside the water collection tank 1 due to long-term water storage, thus affecting the overall water quality. The water pumping pipe 7 inserted between the water collection modules 4 can pump water from the water collection tank 1, while the mud discharge pipe 8 can remove the mud and sand accumulated in the water collection tank 1 due to long-term water storage.

The reinforcing layer 3 is located on the outermost layer of the outer wall of the water collection tank 1. The reinforcing layer 3 has a rectangular structure. Reinforcing ribs 11 are provided between the reinforcing layer 3 and the water collection tank 1. The reinforcing ribs 11 are arranged in a multiple linear array on the outer wall surface of the water collection tank 1. The water collection tank 1 has a rectangular structure. A waterproof membrane 2 is attached to the inner wall of the water collection tank 1. A protective layer 10 is fixedly provided on the top of the waterproof membrane 2.
[0026] To make the overall structure of the rainwater collection tank more stable, several reinforcing ribs 11 are set between the collection tank 1 and the reinforcing layer 3. Under the action of multiple reinforcing ribs 11, the overall structure of the collection tank 1 is more stable. In addition, a protective layer 10 is installed on the upper end of the collection tank 1. The protective layer 10 can effectively isolate the collection tank 1 from the erosion of soil and other impurities. The water collection module 4 inside the collection tank 1 is made of PP material, which also plays a certain supporting role inside. Furthermore, the material of the water collection module 4 can effectively prevent the growth of algae, thereby enhancing the overall structure and improving the water storage quality.
[0027] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to facilitate the installation and use of the rainwater collection cellar, a water collection module 4 is provided. The water collection module 4 has a rectangular structure and is arranged in a linear equidistant array inside the water collection tank 1.

During installation, the locking block 17 of the upper collection module 5 can be inserted into the locking slot 13 of the lower collection module 6, so that the water collection modules 4 can cooperate and be fixed to each other during installation, thus facilitating the laying of the overall rainwater collection cellar.
[0031] Working principle: In actual use, the overall structural strength can be improved by the reinforcing layer 3 covering the outside of the water collection tank 1. The water collection module 4 inside the water collection tank 1 is made of PP material, which has high structural strength, corrosion resistance and light weight. This can strengthen the overall structure of the water collection tank 1 and prevent algae from growing in the water collection tank 1 due to long-term water storage, thus affecting the overall water quality. The water pumping pipe 7 inserted between the water collection modules 4 can pump water from the water collection tank 1, while the mud discharge pipe 8 can remove the mud and sand accumulated in the water collection tank 1 due to long-term water storage. This strengthens the overall structure and improves the water storage quality, thus avoiding the problem of weak structure and short service life of rainwater collection cisterns.
