The collected rainwater is used for laundry, car washing or irrigation, etc. The collection and utilization of rainwater can also reduce the runoff of rainwater in urban streets, reduce the pressure of urban drainage, and effectively reduce the confluence of rainwater and sewage, and reduce the pressure of sewage treatment. However, nowadays, rainwater collection in special environments such as high slopes, rock slopes, desert Gobi areas or areas with poor air quality and severe dust has the problem of being difficult to collect and difficult to treat for secondary applications. Rainwater is easily mixed with impurities in the surrounding environment through contact, resulting in impurities such as mud and sand particles in the collected rainwater. The precipitation method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the impact of secondary evaporation needs to be considered. The use of ordinary mesh filters has the problem of requiring manual subsequent cleaning of the plug, which causes great inconvenience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention more clear, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings to facilitate understanding by technicians.

[0024] The filter element 3 is a kind of rainwater filtering device, and the rainwater filtering device comprises a cylinder 1, a water collecting bucket 2, a filter cylinder 3, and a water outlet pipe 4; the cylinder 1 is provided with a conical water collecting bucket 2, a filter cylinder 3, an annular guide plate, and a water outlet pipe 4 from top to bottom in sequence. The water collecting bucket 2 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and the pressure and flow rate of the water flow are effectively improved by reducing the inner diameter of the pipe; the filter cylinder 3 is tubular, and the upper and lower ends are open, and it is used to filter out solid inclusions in rainwater; the annular guide plate is hollow truncated cone-shaped, fixedly installed in the cylinder 1, and is used to guide the water filtered by the filter cylinder 3 into the water outlet pipe 4, and at the same time, the water outlet pressure and flow rate are increased by changing the diameter; the water outlet pipe 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom end of the cylinder 1 through some sheet metal, and the upper end is connected to the annular guide plate, and is used to receive the clean water after filtering and guide it out of the filtering device; a rotating shaft 5 coaxial with it is rotatably installed in the cylinder 1, and the rotating shaft 5 is provided with blades in sequence Piece Ⅰ6, spiral guide plate 7, bearing plate 8, blade III 9; wherein blade Ⅰ6 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5 and is located at the bottom of the water collecting bucket 2. Blade Ⅰ6 is in a 1 / 4 arc shape and is evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 5. Rainwater impacts blade Ⅰ6 after being pressurized by the water collecting bucket 2, thereby driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate; spiral guide plate 7 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 5, located in the filter cartridge 3, and the outer edge is tangent to the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3. Water flows into the filter cartridge 3 after passing through blade Ⅰ6, and flows downward along the spiral guide plate 7, pushing the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and also providing part of the power for the rotation of the rotating shaft 5. During the rotation process, the spiral guide plate 7 scrapes out the mud and sand adhering to the filter cartridge 3, and then flows downward into the bottom of the filter cartridge under the impact of the water flow, effectively cleaning the upper half of the filter cartridge, scraping out the debris adhering to the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3, thereby restoring the filtering effect of the filter. At the same time, when the water flow is small, the water flows along the spiral guide plate 7, which effectively extends the flow distance of water in the filter cartridge 3, so that the water can fully contact and filter with the upper part of the filter cartridge 3, forming a rotating water flow rotating around the spiral guide plate 7, obliquely impacting the filter cartridge, and effectively accelerating the filtration efficiency; when the water flow is large, the water flow fills the filter cartridge 3, and the rotating spiral guide plate 7 drives the water flow in the filter cartridge 3 to rotate, forming a rotating water column in the filter cartridge 3, thereby enhancing the impact of the water flow on the wall of the filter cartridge 3 and improving the rainwater filtration capacity. The bearing plate 8 is located at the bottom of the filter cartridge 3 and is used to close the bottom of the filter cartridge 3; the blade III9 is ​​fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 5 and is located in the outlet pipe 4. When the filtered rainwater enters the outlet pipe 4, the water flow impacts the blade III9 to generate power, driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate; the rotation direction of the blade I6 after being impacted by the water flow is the same as the twisting direction of the spiral guide plate 7, and the blade I6 and the blade III9 have the same rotation direction after being impacted by the water flow. The blade I6, the spiral guide plate 7, and the blade III9 are used to jointly drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, thereby effectively enhancing the rotational power of the rotating shaft 5 and effectively ensuring that the rotating shaft is evenly driven to rotate under small or large water flow conditions.

[0025] In the present invention, the water collecting bucket 2 is covered with a filter screen 10, and the filter screen 10 adopts a mesh with a larger aperture to prevent larger debris from entering the cylinder body 1 and causing damage to the filter cylinder 3, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the device.

[0026] In the present invention, a spirally arranged guide groove 11 is provided on the inner wall of the water collecting bucket 2, and the torsion direction of the guide groove 11 is the same as the rotation direction of the blade Ⅰ6. When the water volume is small, when the water flows along the guide groove 11 to the bottom, a water flow inclined to the blade Ⅰ6 is formed, so that the water flow is inclined to impact the blade Ⅰ6. Compared with the water flow directly flowing in, the blade Ⅰ6 is impacted more, providing greater power for the rotation of the rotating shaft 5; when the water flow is large, a water flow with the same rotation direction as the blade Ⅰ6 is formed in the water collecting bucket 2 through the guide groove 11, which effectively increases the rotational force of the blade Ⅰ6.

[0027] In the present invention, the rotating shaft 5 is provided with a gear 12 located below the spiral guide plate 7, the gear 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and a planetary gear 13 meshing with the gear 12 is provided on the periphery of the gear 12 through a planetary carrier, and the planetary carrier is clamped with the supporting plate 8 through a connecting piece 14. The mounting position of the planetary carrier on the rotating shaft 5 is in the shape of a stepped shaft, and the planetary carrier is rotatably mounted on the step, thereby fixing the position of the entire planetary carrier. The connecting piece 14 is in the shape of a sheet, fixedly mounted on the lower side of the planetary carrier, and extending downward. A sleeve is provided in the middle of the supporting plate 8, and a slot matching the connecting piece 14 is provided on the sleeve, thereby forming a clamping effect, so that the supporting plate 8 and the planetary carrier can move relative to each other in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 5, and at the same time fix the planetary carrier to prevent it from rotating. An outer gear ring 15 meshing with the planetary gear 13 is disposed on the periphery thereof. The outer gear ring 15 is fixedly connected to the filter cartridge 3 via blades II 16. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, the outer gear ring 15 is driven to rotate via the planetary gear 13. The outer gear ring 15 drives the filter cartridge 3 to rotate via blades II 16. The rotating filter cartridge 3 and the rotating water flow form a relative rotation effect, which effectively improves the filtering efficiency of the filter cartridge 3 on the water flow. At the same time, the filter cartridge 3 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 5 via blades II 16 and the planetary gear system. The supporting plate 8 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 5, and the supporting plate 8 is slidably connected to the cylinder 1. A sewage pipe 17 is provided on the supporting plate 8. The upper end of the sewage pipe 17 extends to the inside of the filter cartridge 3, and the lower end of the filter cartridge 3 extends to the outside of the water outlet pipe 4. A sewage outlet 18 is provided at the upper end of the sewage pipe 17, and the outer wall of the sewage pipe 17 is tangent to the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3. When the filter cartridge 3 rotates, the sewage pipe 17 scrapes out the debris attached to the wall of the filter cartridge 3, and the debris is discharged out of the device along the sewage pipe 17. At the same time, part of the rainwater is discharged along the sewage pipe 17 to flush the sewage pipe 17. While lubricating the sewage pipe 17, the debris in the sewage pipe 17 is flushed out of the sewage pipe 17, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of blockage of the sewage pipe 17.

[0028] In the present invention, a spring 19 is provided on the rotating shaft 5, the upper end of the spring 19 is in contact with the supporting plate 8, and the lower end is fixed by a boss 20 fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft 5. When the mesh of the filter cartridge 3 is blocked and the water pressure in the filter cartridge 3 is too high, the water pressure presses the supporting plate 8 downward, thereby separating the supporting plate 8 from the bottom of the filter cartridge 3, increasing the water output of the filter cartridge 3, and effectively protecting the safety of the filter cartridge 3.

[0029] In the present invention, the middle part of the supporting plate 8 is convex upward. When the water flow is small, the inclined supporting plate 8 makes the water flow and debris flow to the wall of the filter cartridge 3. The rainwater is discharged after passing through the filter cartridge 3, and the debris is scraped into the sewage pipe 17 and then discharged from the device.

[0030] The working process of the present invention is as follows: water flows into the water collecting bucket 2 after preliminary filtration through the filter screen 10, and forms a rotating water flow under the action of the guide groove 11. At the same time, the water flow is pressurized to increase the flow rate of the water, and then impacts the blade I6, and the blade I6 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate; the water flows into the filter cartridge 3, flows along the spiral guide plate, forms a rotating water flow to impact the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3, accelerates the filtration efficiency of the filter cartridge 3, and at the same time, drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the spiral guide plate; after passing through the spiral guide plate, the water flows impact the blade II 16, driving the blade II 16 to drive the filter cartridge 3 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby accelerating the filtration rate; during the rotation process, the rotating shaft 5 drives the outer gear ring 15 to rotate in the opposite direction through the planetary gear system, and the outer gear ring 15 drives the filter cartridge 3 to rotate through the blade II 16. When the filter cartridge 3 rotates, the sewage pipe 17 scrapes the debris adhering to the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3 and guides it out, effectively restoring the filtering capacity of the filter cartridge 3; when there are many debris in the water flow, causing the filtering effect of the filter cartridge 3 to drop rapidly, the water pressure in the filter cartridge 3 rises, driving the bearing plate 8 downward, separating the bearing plate 8 from the bottom of the filter cartridge 3, thereby opening the bottom of the filter cartridge 3, quickly discharging the water machine debris in the filter cartridge 3, and effectively ensuring the safety of the filter cartridge 3. After a period of time, the debris in the filter cartridge 3 is reduced, and the bearing plate 8 moves upward and resets under the drive of the spring 19, thereby closing the bottom of the filter cartridge 3 again. The filtered water flows into the annular guide plate, and after being pressurized by the annular guide plate, it hits the blade III again, drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate through the blade III9, and finally is discharged from the outlet pipe.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention; the dimensions of the drawings are independent of the specific objects, and the dimensions of the objects can be changed arbitrarily.
