[0002] The siphon system is designed based on the principle of full-pipe pressure flow. It can effectively control and balance the flow rate and pressure of rainwater in the pipe. Under design conditions, it is a roof rainwater drainage system that uses the effective positional difference between the siphon rainwater hopper and the discharge pipe as power to generate negative pressure inside the system.

[0052] Example 1
[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a roof non-powered siphon drainage method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0054] Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is a roof-mounted non-powered siphon drainage method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step 1, according to the formula Calculate the minimum pipe diameter and helix angle According to the minimum pipe diameter and helix angle Select suitable pipe materials; hollow cross-section inner wall spiral pipes are preferred. Indicates the pipe diameter. Indicates the roof area. Indicates rainfall intensity. H represents the acceleration due to gravity, and H represents the maximum depth of the gutter. This represents the roof slope coefficient. This represents the slope coefficient of the gutter.
[0055] In one alternative approach, the minimum pipe diameter can be calculated using a formula. In actual use, the pipe diameter... Not less than the minimum pipe diameter This satisfies the requirements for use and prevents rainwater overflow. It should be noted that because both the roof and gutter 2 have a slope, they also serve the function of collecting and transporting rainwater. Therefore, the rainwater inlet needs to handle not only rainwater falling directly onto its vicinity but also water collected from the surrounding roof and gutter 2. Thus, when calculating the pipe diameter considering hydraulics, in addition to considering the roof area S, rainfall intensity q, and maximum gutter depth H, the roof slope coefficient is also included. and gutter slope coefficient .
[0056] Rainfall intensity You can follow the formula The calculation is performed, where A, b, c, and n represent local rainfall parameters, P represents the return period, and t represents the rainfall duration. Taking Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province as an example, the design return period P=5, the rainfall duration t is selected as 5 minutes, n is taken as 0.9861, b as 20.4709, A as 0.1095, and c as 0.1901. The roof area S and the maximum water depth H of the gutter can both be measured.
[0057] In actual use, ,in Indicates the roof slope. This indicates the slope of the gutter. This indicates rounding up. According to design specifications, the slope of the roof should not be less than 3% when using structural sloping and not less than 2% when using architectural sloping. Therefore... ,at this time According to the formula It can be seen that, ,when hour, This means that roofs with a slope greater than e are considered to have a water-collecting function, where e is 2.718281828459.
[0058] In actual use, the slope of gutter 2 is 2°~2.5°, according to the formula When the slope of ditch 2 is greater than 1, The value of is greater than 1, meaning that gutters with a slope greater than 1 are considered to have a water collection function.
[0059] In one alternative approach, the spiral inclination angle of the pipe wall can be calculated using a formula. The drainage flow rate of the system is greatly affected by the pipe wall roughness. When the pressure difference across the pipe is constant, the greater the roughness, the smaller the cross-sectional flow rate. Pipe wall roughness consists of two parts: the roughened appearance of the pipe wall and the spiral lines set on the inner wall of the pipe. The roughened appearance is achieved during pipe manufacturing by using laser-etched rollers to roughen the steel plate used for the pipe, creating a rough surface; this is determined by the production process. The spiral lines include the pitch and inclination angle of the spiral lines. By adjusting the tilt angle It can easily change the roughness inside ordinary pipes to adapt to the hydraulic conditions of different regions and their requirements for adjusting the pipe roughness. In actual use, the inner diameter of the spiral pipe is 319mm and the spiral pitch is 200mm.
[0060] Pipe wall spiral tilt angle This refers to the angle between the spiral line installed on the inner wall of the pipe and the transverse cross-section of the pipe. The value range is 1° to 60°. Calculate. The formula is , Indicates the actual diameter of the pipe. This represents the coefficient of friction of the inner wall of the spiral tube. The value depends on the material of the spiral tube and can be obtained from a table. This indicates the drainage speed of the gutter.
[0061] like Figure 6As shown, this invention uses a PVC hollow wall spiral silencer pipe, which is constructed by artificially roughening the pipe to form a pipe with inclined threads on the inner wall. Water flows along the thread line, which can reduce the noise of the gas-liquid two-phase flow phenomenon and can adjust the drainage flow rate of the system.
[0062] Step 2: Construct a sloping gutter 2 on the building roof. In actual use, the slope of gutter 2 is 2°. By adjusting the design slope of gutter 2, the water conveyance and collection functions of gutter 2 can be adjusted, the drainage capacity can be changed, and the drainage rate can be adjusted.
[0063] Step 3: Install the first drainage bucket 1, the second drainage bucket 7 and at least one third drainage bucket 8 in the gutter 2. The first drainage bucket 1, the second drainage bucket 7 and at least one third drainage bucket 8 are evenly distributed along the circumference. The first drainage bucket 1, the second drainage bucket 7 and at least one third drainage bucket 8 are respectively connected to the suspension pipe 5 through connecting pipes. The suspension pipe 5 is connected to the riser pipe 3 and the drainage pipe 4 in sequence.
[0064] The rainwater hopper, as the starting point of the roof rainwater drainage system, is mainly used to collect rainwater and guide it into the suspended pipe 5. It should be noted that, as... Figure 2 As shown, the first drainage hopper 1 and the second drainage hopper 7 each have a hopper body 13. The first processor 21, the second processor 25, and the controller 20 communicate wirelessly. A level sensor 6 and a rain gauge 9 are disposed outside the third circuit housing. There is at least one third drainage hopper 8. A retractable first cap 17 and a retractable second cap are respectively disposed above the first drainage hopper 1 and the second drainage hopper 7.
[0065] Step 4: Predict rainfall at the target time ;
[0066] In one alternative approach, rainfall is determined by deep learning via a neural network. The specific method for making predictions is as follows:
[0067] Step 101: Set the sampling period and obtain roof rainfall data at each sampling time. and rainfall intensity In this embodiment, the roof rainfall data refers to the average value within the sampling period.
[0068] Step 102: Using the rainfall intensity at time t Roof rainfall data at time t As matrix elements, the matrix elements are used as image pixels to obtain a two-dimensional image. The two-dimensional image is then input into a convolutional neural network, which extracts the image features of the two-dimensional image to obtain feature quantities. The feature quantities are then divided into training and test sets.
[0069] Since precipitation and rainfall intensity are closely related, the rainfall intensity at time t is used. Roof rainfall data at time t As matrix elements, feature quantities are constructed for prediction. Roof rainfall at any time Rainfall intensity at time t It can be done through formula Calculate the roof rainfall data at time t. This can be determined by measuring with a rain gauge.
[0070] Step 103: Select a convolutional neural network as the rainfall prediction model, define the objective function of the network model, and use the training set as the input to the network model. Roof rainfall at any time As the output value, a convolutional neural network model is selected, and the optimal parameters of the network model are solved to complete the network model training.
[0071] In practical applications, convolutional neural networks such as AlexNet, VGG series networks, or ResNet series networks can be selected. Considering computational power and speed, the ResNet18 network is preferred for rainfall prediction models. The loss function uses a weighted combination of the cross-entropy loss function and the mean squared error loss function. This weighted combination of the cross-entropy loss function and the mean squared error loss function can significantly widen the loss difference between positive and negative samples, thereby improving accuracy.
[0072] Step 104: After the rainfall prediction model has been trained, input the test set to evaluate the rainfall prediction model;
[0073] Step 105: Obtain the current precipitation in real time. and rainfall intensity ; Calculate the characteristic values for the current time according to step 102, and input the characteristic values for the current time into the rainfall prediction model; predict the rainfall at the target time using the rainfall prediction model. .
[0074] In actual use, the precipitation at the current moment Data obtained from rain gauge 9. Current rainfall intensity. According to the formula calculate.
[0075] Step 5: Select Execution Strategy: If Then proceed to step six; if or If yes, proceed to step seven; otherwise, proceed to step eight, where... This indicates the water level parameters of the gutter. This represents the first water depth threshold. This indicates the second water depth threshold. This indicates the drainage volume of the gutter.
[0076] Water level parameters of the gutter Detected by level sensor 6. First water depth threshold. The minimum height of the third drainage hopper 8 extending out of the roof structure, and the second water depth threshold. The highest point at which the body of the third drainage hopper 8 extends out of the roof structure.
[0077] The execution strategy is as follows:
[0078] 1. When At that time, the water level at gutter 2 reached a low depth, and the system operated by gravity flow. The first drainage bucket 1, the second drainage bucket 7, and at least one third drainage bucket 8 were not submerged. At this time, the first drainage bucket 1 and the second drainage bucket 7 were closed, thereby increasing the rainwater flow in gutter 2 that the third drainage bucket 8 could handle, and causing the third drainage bucket 8 to quickly form a siphon.
[0079] Theoretically, the system is designed based on the siphon flow pattern of water in the system pipes. However, rainfall is random, and the rainfall intensity usually follows a normal distribution. That is, during a complete rainfall event, the duration of the maximum rainfall intensity q is very short, and the system is in a situation of low rainfall most of the time.
[0080] In the initial stages of rainfall, the amount of rain is relatively small. This means that the water level at gutter 2 has reached a low depth, that is, it has not yet exceeded the height of hopper 13. Before the siphon phenomenon is formed, the first drainage hopper 1, the second drainage hopper 7 and at least one third drainage hopper 8 are not submerged and still operate in the manner of gravity flow. Under the combined action of atmospheric pressure, Earth's rotation shear force and Earth's gravity, rainwater will form a funnel-shaped vortex at hopper 13. When the water depth is small, air will enter hopper 13 along with the vortex and flow into the system pipe, resulting in a gas-liquid two-phase flow phenomenon. The system pipe turbulence is very strong, the water flow is a wave flow, and the noise is loud.
[0081] During this stage, to avoid the gas-liquid two-phase flow phenomenon at the beginning of rainfall, the first drainage hopper 1 and the second drainage hopper 7 are closed according to the rainfall volume. This increases the amount of rainwater flow that the third drainage hopper 8 can handle in the gutter 2. The surge in water volume causes the water depth at the gutter 2 to exceed the water level in front of the third drainage hopper 8, causing the third drainage hopper 8 to quickly form a siphon. The entire third drainage hopper 8 will be submerged, ensuring the formation of the siphon phenomenon. The negative pressure of the system increases as the number of connected rainwater hoppers decreases. As the amount of air drawn into the system completely enters the riser, the third drainage hopper 8 forms a complete siphon full-pipe flow, promptly discharging the rainwater in the gutter. The internal pressure distribution is uniform, and the internal flow is stable, greatly reducing the amount of air drawn into the system. This reduces cavitation and the occurrence of gas-liquid two-phase flow when air is mixed with water into the rainwater hopper, preventing air accumulation, ensuring the stability of the siphon, reducing noise, and increasing the rainwater flow rate.
[0082] 2. When or The water level at gutter 2 can reach a medium depth, and the rainfall at the target time cannot surge. It also has the conditions for siphoning and full pipe flow in a short time. At this time, the first drainage hopper 1 is closed, so that the third drainage hopper 8 and the second drainage hopper 7 are both submerged at present and at the target time, ensuring that the third drainage hopper 8 and the second drainage hopper 7 form a continuous siphoning phenomenon. The negative pressure of the system increases as the number of rainwater hoppers connected decreases. As the amount of air sucked into the system completely enters the riser, the third drainage hopper 8 and the second drainage hopper 7 form a complete full pipe flow.
[0083] During rainfall, as the rainfall amount continues to increase, but the amount is still insufficient to allow all the drainage inlets to form a continuous siphon effect, that is... or , , , , , This means that the water level at gutter 2 is considered to reach a medium depth, exceeding the height of the hopper 13. The water flow carries the existing air in the system pipes and the air continuously entering the system pipes from the rainwater hopper into the suspension pipe 5. At this time, a brief siphon phenomenon will occur in the system pipes, but the small amount of rainwater accumulated in gutter 2 will be quickly cleared by the effect of the siphon phenomenon. That is, the subsequent rainwater volume will not surge, meaning that the inflow is less than the outflow. The rainwater hopper cannot maintain the siphon continuously. After the siphon phenomenon is interrupted, a large amount of gas enters the system pipes with the rainwater, and the gas-liquid two-phase flow phenomenon reappears.
[0084] Therefore, in order to avoid the gas-liquid two-phase flow phenomenon during the middle of the rainfall, when the rainfall volume cannot meet the continuous siphon phenomenon, the first drainage hopper 1 is closed, so that the third drainage hopper 8 and the second drainage hopper 7 are both submerged at the current time and the target time, ensuring that the third drainage hopper 8 and the second drainage hopper 7 form a continuous siphon phenomenon.
[0085] 3. When When the water level at gutter 2 reaches a high depth and the water flow is much greater than the amount of air entering the system pipe, the first drainage hopper 1, the second drainage hopper 7 and at least one third drainage hopper 8 will all open, forming a complete siphon phenomenon.
[0086] During rainfall, when the actual rainfall amount meets the requirements This means that the water level at point 2 of the gutter has reached a high level of depth, exceeding the warning height. The water flow rate is much greater than the amount of air entering the system pipes, so the gas-liquid two-phase flow phenomenon will not occur. The system forms a complete siphon phenomenon, or even a full siphon flow.
[0087] Therefore, this application not only performs economic and balance calculations on the system piping, but also improves the safety of roof drainage, and reduces system piping turbulence and noise caused by gas-liquid two-phase flow, resulting in good performance.
[0088] In the next sampling period, the conditions for the execution strategy are re-evaluated, and the current execution strategy is selected.
[0089] Example 2
[0090] Unlike Example 1, in step 101 of this example, the roof rainfall data within the sampling period T is... The distance between the maximum roof rainfall and the maximum roof rainfall is calculated to obtain the data similarity. If the data similarity is greater than the threshold, the maximum roof rainfall within the sampling period T is used as the rainfall data in the calculation.
[0091] Example 3
[0092] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a roof-mounted non-powered siphon drainage system is provided. Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a roof-mounted non-powered siphon drainage system according to an embodiment of this application. Figures 1-3As shown, the system includes: a gutter 2, a riser 3, a drain pipe 4, and a suspension pipe 5. Its features include: a first drainage hopper 1, a second drainage hopper 7, and at least one third drainage hopper 8. A first circuit housing 15 is installed on the top of the first drainage hopper 1, a second circuit housing is installed on the top of the second drainage hopper 7, and a third circuit housing is installed on the roof. A controller 20 is installed inside the third circuit housing. The controller 20 is connected to a level sensor 6 for detecting the water level in the gutter 2 and a rain gauge 9 for detecting rainfall.
[0093] It should be noted that the liquid level sensor 6 is inserted into the gutter 2, and the rain gauge 9 is installed on the roof.
[0094] The first circuit housing 15 is provided with a first electronic circuit board and a first processor 21 integrated on the first electronic circuit board. The output terminal of the first processor 21 is connected to a first motor drive module 23. The first motor drive module 23 is connected to the first motor. The top of the first circuit housing 15 is provided with a through hole for the first shaft 16 of the first motor to extend out. The end of the first shaft 16 of the first motor is fixedly connected to a first cap 17. The first cap 17 is adapted to the body 13 of the first drainage bucket 1.
[0095] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to close the first drainage hopper 1, the first motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, and the first rotating shaft drives the first cap 17 to rise and fall, so that the first cap 17 covers the hopper body 13, so that rainwater cannot enter the first drainage hopper 1 through the hopper body 13, thereby realizing the function of closing the first drainage hopper 1.
[0096] The second circuit housing contains a second electronic circuit board and a second processor 25 integrated on the second electronic circuit board. The output terminal of the second processor 25 is connected to a second motor drive module 24. The second motor drive module 24 is connected to the second motor. The top of the second circuit housing has a through hole for the shaft of the second motor to extend out. The end of the shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to a second cap. The second cap is adapted to the body 13 of the second drainage hopper 7.
[0097] The first drainage bucket 1 and the second drainage bucket 7 have the same structure, both including a short outlet pipe 11, an anti-vortex device 12, a bucket body 13, and a grid cover 14. The first drainage bucket 1 and the second drainage bucket 7 operate on the same principle.
[0098] The third drainage hopper 8 is a normally open drainage hopper.
[0099] The level sensor 6 is an ultrasonic level gauge or an immersion hydrostatic level gauge. The rain gauge 9 is a WIR30 model rain gauge.
[0100] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the rainwater hopper includes a first drainage hopper 1, a second drainage hopper 7, and at least one third drainage hopper 8.
[0101] Under different rainfall scenarios, drainage systems cannot fully utilize the siphon full-pipe flow efficiency. Based on different actual rainfall conditions, different numbers of rainwater hoppers can be selectively opened to achieve optimal scheduling and control. Real-time monitoring information of water level and rainfall is used as the basis for scheduling and control to ensure that the system forms a complete siphon full-pipe flow without overflow. With the continuous advancement of online monitoring technology, dynamic scheduling and control will have huge application advantages and prospects.
