Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water quality monitoring and utilization technology, and in particular to a rainwater quality monitoring and utilization system. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing frequency of extreme rainstorms due to global climate change and the proliferation of non-permeable pavements during urbanization, large amounts of rainwater cannot be drained in time, causing urban flooding and hindering the normal lives of urban residents and local economic development. Rainwater reuse technology is a crucial component of the currently advocated "sponge city" construction initiative. On the other hand, the problem of water scarcity is becoming increasingly prominent, especially in arid regions of Northwest China, where many areas face water shortages.

[0037] Preferably, the first collecting device is at a preset angle to the plane of the roof steel plate; the second collecting device is at a preset angle to the road surface.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, a preset angle is provided so that the first and second collecting devices can quickly collect rainwater.

[0039] Preferably, the water quality monitoring instrument is a turbidity meter, pH meter, or conductivity meter that uses a probe to quickly monitor water quality.

[0040] Preferably, it also includes a solar cell;

[0041] The solar cells are connected to the first water quality analyzer, the second water quality analyzer, the control module, the first rainwater treatment module, the second rainwater treatment module, the third rainwater treatment module, and the solenoid valve, respectively.

[0061] The information reconstruction unit is used to iteratively solve the water quality monitoring information reconstruction model to obtain the preprocessed first water quality information and second water quality information.

[0062] Specifically, wavelet transform denoising is a common denoising technique. By decomposing the original water quality monitoring signal, wavelet coefficients of varying sizes can be generated. Then, a filtering threshold is set, and among the numerous wavelet coefficients, coefficients with smaller absolute values ​​are set to zero, while coefficients with larger absolute values ​​are retained or reduced. The threshold-processed wavelet coefficients are then reconstructed to achieve denoising. The basic idea of ​​this embodiment is that the wavelet coefficients corresponding to water quality monitoring signals are generally large, while the wavelet coefficients corresponding to noise are generally small. Therefore, based on this characteristic, denoising processing can be performed on water quality monitoring signals to improve the accuracy of water quality monitoring.

[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a water quality monitoring information reconstruction model is first constructed based on the frequency space. Then, the augmented Lagrange multiplier method is used to introduce reconstruction variables to decompose the reconstruction problem into several easily solvable subproblems, so that each subproblem can obtain a simple analytical solution. This effectively improves the computational efficiency of reconstruction, greatly saves the information processing time of water quality monitoring, and improves the efficiency of water quality monitoring.

[0064] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
