[0060] Working principle:

[0061] Step 1: The collected rainwater is placed in the filter box 20 through the water inlet pipe 12. Then, the rainwater will flow into the collection box 30 through the filter screen 22, while the impurities in the rainwater will remain in the filter box 20.

[0062] Step 2: Rotate the shaft 24 using the servo motor 26 (e.g., Figure 1 As shown, the rotating shaft 24 rotates counterclockwise, which in turn drives the roller 25 to rotate. When the roller 25 rotates, it drives several filter plates 27 to rotate. When the filter plates 27 rotate, they move the impurities to one side of the slag discharge plate 291. At this time, the impurities fall down along the slag discharge plate 291 (a collection box for collecting impurities can be set on one side of the slag discharge plate 291 as needed). During this process, the vibration motor 29 needs to be running.

[0063] Step 3: If the rainwater in the collection box 30 exceeds the overflow pipe 31, the excess rainwater will flow through the overflow pipe 31 into the external treatment pool for further treatment. After that, the treated rainwater will be discharged into the municipal stormwater pipe or river.

[0064] Step 4: When it is necessary to use the rainwater in the collection box 30 to spray the road, simply start the solenoid valve on the first water pump 41 and the first pipe 44 so that the rainwater can be discharged through the first pipe 44.

[0065] Step 5: When it is necessary to use the rainwater in the collection box 30 to irrigate or spray the plants, first put the plant nutrient solution or pesticide into the corresponding mixing box 51 through the feed pipe 49. Then, the rainwater flows into the corresponding mixing box 51 through the solenoid valve on the first water pump 41 and the second pipe 45. At this time, the rotating filter plate 27 will beat the rubber skin 52 to mix the rainwater with the plant nutrient solution or pesticide.

[0066] Step 6: The mixture in the collection tank 30 can be discharged by the second water pump 61.

[0067] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the disclosed embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
