Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of precipitation testing technology, and more specifically, to a sponge city rainwater runoff control testing device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Sponge city is a new generation of urban stormwater management concept. It refers to a city that can act like a sponge, exhibiting good resilience in adapting to environmental changes and coping with natural disasters caused by rainwater. It can also be called a water-resilient city. The internationally accepted term is low-impact development stormwater system construction. When it rains, it absorbs, stores, infiltrates, and purifies water. When needed, it releases and utilizes the stored water, which is conducive to restoring the urban water ecology, conserving water resources, enhancing the city's flood control capacity, expanding effective investment in public goods, improving the quality of new urbanization, and promoting the harmonious development of humans and nature.

[0003] The sponge city stormwater runoff control test device is an important tool for studying the effects of LID (Lightweight Industrialization) facilities and sponge city construction. Through dynamic tests of stormwater runoff control, the contribution rate of various types of LID facilities to stormwater runoff control can be effectively demonstrated, providing scientific guidance for optimizing the composition and selection of LID facilities.

[0004] Existing sponge city test devices are mostly simple tests on rainwater infiltration and water storage effects under a combination of several typical low impact development facilities. They lack water supply and drainage systems designed based on the principle of fluid mechanics similarity, and cannot achieve switching between LID facilities. The test data acquisition is relatively complex and not intuitive or concise enough. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Step 2: Turn on the rain switch to allow the water pump to draw water from the first water tank and evenly drop the water onto the surface of the sand table body through the conical nozzles at the end of the branch sprinkler pipes. When the rainfall time reaches the set time of the time relay, the artificial simulated rainfall system will automatically shut down, and the experimental group's test process will end.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0026] This invention miniaturizes the underlying surface layout of an actual sponge city construction site to a proportional scale. Using the principle of fluid mechanics similarity, it sets up road / hard ground rainwater inlets, LID facility models, drainage blind pipes, and a drainage network system. This allows rainwater to gradually accumulate and generate runoff when simulated rainfall according to the rainstorm intensity formula. Part of the runoff enters the rainwater network system, while the rest is intercepted and absorbed by the LID facility model. This ensures that the demonstration of the entire device is more realistic and the experiment is more scientific.

[0027] This invention enables comparative tests of different LID facilities under the same rainfall conditions by setting up a mode conversion module before and after the construction of sponge cities. Attached Figure Description

Specifically, the humidity detector 82 is installed in the planting soil layer of the traditional green space model 121, the sunken green space model 131 and the rain garden model 132.

[0061] The digital display system includes a liquid level sensor 722, a detection component 8, a data conversion unit, a data cloud platform, and a display. The liquid level sensor 722 is used to collect liquid level data during the test; the main pipe flow meter 81 is used to collect relevant data such as drainage rate; the humidity detector 82 is used to collect the seepage effect and related data of the corresponding sand table model; the data conversion unit converts the above data into instantaneous detection data (including drainage flow data, humidity data of the corresponding sand table model, etc.); the data cloud platform is used to receive instantaneous flow data from the data conversion unit and transmit it to the display; the display shows the changes in runoff during the test in real time, and automatically calculates the total runoff control rate, peak runoff control rate, and peak runoff delay time after the test.

[0062] By setting up a liquid level sensor 722 to monitor water level changes in real time, and combining the flow rate in the first drainage main pipe 611 with the humidity detection of the corresponding sand table model, the above detection results are converted into runoff data. The data platform and display terminal automatically display the surface runoff change curves under the same rainfall conditions before and after the construction of the sponge city, and can automatically calculate the total runoff control rate, runoff peak reduction rate, and runoff peak delay time after the construction of the sponge city.

[0063] In the above embodiments, the corresponding sand table model can be covered and the mode can be switched by sliding the sliding cover plate 51. However, since the rainfall pattern of the artificial simulated rainfall system 4 is relatively uniform and can effectively cover the entire sand table body 1, although the sliding cover plate 51 can cover the corresponding sand table model, its surface will also receive rainwater, and the received rainwater will flow to other areas, affecting the accurate test judgment of other sand table models. Therefore, this embodiment improves the sliding cover plate 51. For details, please refer to the appendix of the specification. Figure 9 The top of the sliding cover 51 is surrounded by a baffle plate 511, which forms a collection trough on the top of the sliding cover 51. The bottom of the baffle plate 511 is provided with a drain pipe 512, which is connected to the first water tank 71 through a water pipe, thereby preventing the sliding cover 51 from guiding rainwater to other sand table models.

[0064] In the above embodiments, since the experimental device can perform simulation tests and conversion controls in real time, it can conduct multiple simulation tests continuously over a long period of time. Although the sunken green space model 131, rain garden model 132, and permeable pavement model 133 have good drainage performance, due to their numerous internal structures, their drainage is mainly based on infiltration. After the test is stopped, it is necessary to wait for the rainwater inside to fully infiltrate, but this process is relatively slow and requires a certain amount of time before subsequent tests can be conducted. Therefore, this embodiment also provides the following technical solution: connecting the infiltration guiding component 9 to the corresponding drainage blind pipe 615 and making corresponding improvements to the mode conversion module 5. Specifically, refer to the appendix of the instruction manual. Figures 9 to 13 The drainage blind pipe 615 consists of an outer sponge layer and an inner built-in mesh pipe 6151. Multiple holes are provided on the built-in mesh pipe 6151. The seepage guiding component 9 includes a transfer box 91. A positive pressure conveying channel 513 is provided on the sliding cover plate 51. The positive pressure conveying channel 513 is connected to an inflation device (air pump) via a pipe. This inflation device is used to convey gas into the positive pressure conveying channel 513. A negative pressure suction pipe 92 is fixedly connected to the transfer box 91. The negative pressure suction pipe 92 is connected to a suction device (air pump). This suction device creates negative pressure in the transfer box 91 through the negative pressure suction pipe 92. Taking the concave green space model 131 as an example, when it is necessary to change the test mode, the sliding cover plate 51 is pulled horizontally to the lower... Above the unit support frame 31 of the concave green space model 131, a sealed whole is formed with the unit support frame 31. At this time, each layer of material in the concave green space model 131 still retains a large amount of water. Then, air is injected into the unit support frame 31 through the positive pressure conveying channel 513, which increases the air pressure in the area above the concave green space model 131. This air pressure has a downward pushing effect on the water through the gaps between the filling components. At the same time, the air extraction of the negative pressure extraction pipe 92 causes the drainage blind pipe 615 to form a negative pressure at the bottom of the unit support frame 31, which helps to accelerate the discharge of residual water in conjunction with the high pressure above, so that the humidity of the corresponding filling material is restored to the standard state, ensuring that the initial state of the corresponding sand table model is the same in each test.

[0065] It should be noted that the seepage guiding component 9 mentioned above is mainly set for each sand table model of the LID facility model 13. If necessary, the drainage blind pipe 615 of the traditional green space model 121 can also be equipped with the seepage guiding component 9. In order to prevent air leakage between the sliding cover plate 51 and the unit support frame 31, please refer to the appendix of the instruction manual. Figure 11The guide rail 52 is provided with a transverse sliding groove 521, and the sliding cover plate 51 is provided with sliding protrusions 514 on both sides. The sliding protrusions 514 are slidably engaged in the transverse sliding groove 521, and ball bearings are provided between the bottom of the sliding protrusions 514 and the transverse sliding groove 521. A sealing strip is provided on the top of the sliding protrusions 514. When air is blown into the unit support frame 31, the sliding cover plate 51 tends to bulge upward, so that the sealing strip on the top of the sliding protrusions 514 can fit more tightly with the transverse sliding groove 521, improving the sealing effect. Similar sealing structures can also be provided at other positions of the sliding cover plate 51 to enhance the sealing.

[0066] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, during the initial discharge of seepage, the seepage volume is large, almost filling the entire pipe. Therefore, the flow meter structure installed on the pipe can effectively record the discharge flow rate, thereby effectively measuring and detecting the seepage discharge. However, in the later stages, the seepage rate slows down, and the seepage volume relatively decreases. Therefore, if the pipe is relatively large, the subsequent water volume is insufficient to fill the entire pipe, resulting in the flow meter structure being unable to accurately monitor the flow. If the pipe is small, it is difficult to meet the initial discharge requirements. To address this, this embodiment also provides the following technical solutions, specifically referring to the appendix to the specification. Figure 12 and Figure 13 A recessed area 911 is provided on one side of the bottom of the transfer box 91. A large-diameter guide pipe 93 and a small-diameter guide pipe 94 are installed at the bottom of the transfer box 91. The small-diameter guide pipe 94 is located at the recessed area 911. Both the large-diameter guide pipe 93 and the small-diameter guide pipe 94 are connected to the corresponding drainage pipe network. For example, in the LID facility model 13, the large-diameter guide pipe 93 and the small-diameter guide pipe 94 are connected to the first drainage branch pipe 612, and in the traditional green space model 121, the large-diameter guide pipe 93 and the small-diameter guide pipe 94 are connected to the second drainage branch pipe 612. A branch pipe 622 is connected. A large-flow classifier flow meter 83 is installed on the large-diameter guide pipe 93, and a small-flow classifier flow meter 84 is installed on the small-diameter guide pipe 94. A large-buoyancy float plug 931 is slidably installed above the pipe opening of the large-diameter guide pipe 93, and a small-buoyancy float plug 941 is slidably installed above the pipe opening of the small-diameter guide pipe 94. A guide ring 912 is provided on the bottom inner wall of the transfer box 91. The large-buoyancy float plug 931 and the small-buoyancy float plug 941 are connected by a pull rope 96, which passes through the guide ring 912.

[0067] It should be noted that in the same liquid, the buoyancy of the large buoyancy plug 931 is greater than that of the small buoyancy plug 941. When the seepage rate of the corresponding sand table model is relatively fast, the liquid level in the transfer box 91 is relatively high. Therefore, the large buoyancy plug 931 can float upwards, and then, under the action of the pulling rope 96, it pulls the small buoyancy plug 941 downwards, causing the small buoyancy plug 941 to block the opening of the small-diameter guide pipe 94. Refer to the instruction manual for details. Figure 12At this time, water is mainly discharged through the large-diameter guide pipe 93, which can adapt to a relatively fast discharge speed, and the large-flow fractional flow meter 83 performs accurate flow detection. When the seepage speed gradually slows down, the water level in the seepage guide component 9 drops relatively, the large buoyancy plug 931 drops, and seals the opening of the large-diameter guide pipe 93. At this time, there is still a certain water level in the recessed area 911, and the small buoyancy plug 941 floats up, so a small flow can be discharged through the small-diameter guide pipe 94. Since the diameter of the small-diameter guide pipe 94 is relatively small, it can be discharged in a full state at a relatively small seepage speed, so that the small-flow fractional flow meter 84 can effectively perform accurate detection. Moreover, when the water level drops, the large-diameter guide pipe 93 can be sealed before air enters it, and the drainage is switched to the small-diameter guide pipe 94. Therefore, the detection of the large-flow fractional flow meter 83 is always accurate and will not be affected by the venting of the large-diameter guide pipe 93.

[0068] Furthermore, since the aforementioned drainage blind pipe 615 primarily serves sand table models with planting soil layers, some soil and other materials will be discharged into the seepage guiding component 9 during actual discharge. If such materials are directly discharged into the first water tank 71 or the second water tank 72, it may affect the operation of the corresponding pumps. Therefore, a filter structure 95 is also installed in the transfer box 91. In the above solution, the filter structure 95 can directly use a fixed rigid filter plate structure, but the filtered material is prone to accumulate in local areas, affecting drainage. Therefore, this embodiment also provides the following solution, specifically... The filter structure 95 is a flexible filter screen structure. The filter structure 95 is fixedly connected to the first drainage pipe network 61 on all four sides. The top of the large buoyancy float 931 and the top of the small buoyancy float 941 are both fixedly connected to the slide rod 97. The slide rod 97 is slidably set in the transfer box 91, and the top of the slide rod 97 is fixedly connected to the filter structure 95. Therefore, in actual use, during the conversion between the large diameter guide pipe 93 and the small diameter guide pipe 94, the large buoyancy float 931 and the small buoyancy float 941 will drive the corresponding slide rod 97 to move up and down, thereby causing the filter structure 95 to deform and preventing the filter structure 95 from clogging.

[0069] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 14 Referring to the above-described testing apparatus, this embodiment also provides a related testing method, namely, a method for using the above-described testing apparatus, specifically including the following steps:

[0070] Step 1: Adjust the time relay of the PLC control system to set the rainfall duration (i.e., the start duration of the water supply pump 43). Slide the sliding cover plate 51 to the top of the sunken green space model 131, the rain garden model 132 and the permeable paving model 133 in sequence, and make the sliding cover plate 51 fit tightly with the corresponding unit support frame 31.

[0071] Step 2: Turn on the rainfall switch to allow the water pump 43 to draw water from the first water tank 71. The water is then evenly distributed onto the surface of the sand table body 1 through the conical nozzles at the end of the branch sprinkler pipe 42. Users can directly observe the entire process of water accumulation, runoff, flooding, and drainage into the rainwater pipe network formed by the hardened plaza model 111, house model 112, and road model 113 on the sand table surface. They can also observe the real-time flow rate curve on the display to quantitatively understand the experimental results. When the rainfall time reaches the set duration of the time relay, the artificial rainfall system 4 automatically shuts down, i.e., the water pump 43 is turned off. Observe the curve on the display; when the flow rate drops to zero, it indicates the end of the experimental group's test process.

[0072] Step 3: Slide the sliding cover 51 onto the upper part of the adjacent traditional green space model 121 and hardened parking lot model 122 in turn, and make the sliding cover 51 fit tightly against them;

[0073] Step 4: Repeat Step 2 above and turn on the rain switch again to make the water supply pump 43 draw water from the first water tank 71 and evenly drop the water onto the surface of the sand table body 1 through the conical nozzle at the end of the branch sprinkler pipe 42. Start the control group test process. On the one hand, the user can directly observe the runoff rainwater formed by the hardened square model 111, house model 112 and road model 113 on the surface of the sand table and flow into each sand table model of LID facility model 13 according to the ground slope and form accumulation. Compared with the experimental group, the water accumulation points of the hardened square model 111 and road model 113 are significantly reduced and the runoff is significantly reduced. On the other hand, the user can observe the change curve of the pipe network flow in real time through the display and obtain the data difference between the control group and the experimental group.

[0074] Step 5: Turn on the return water switch and start the reuse pump 721 to pump the road runoff rainwater and the infiltrated rainwater from each sand table model of the LID facility model 13 in the second water tank 72 to the first water tank 71 for recycling. When the liquid level in the second water tank 72 drops to the low level, the low liquid level relay of the PLC control system is activated and the return water is automatically shut off.

[0075] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
