Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rainwater well anti-clogging technology, specifically a rainwater well anti-clogging and personnel fall prevention device. Background Technology

[0002] Stormwater wells are common urban drainage facilities. According to news reports and other channels, there are frequent accidents of people falling to their deaths due to heavy rain. Currently used stormwater well covers have certain safety hazards, especially during heavy rain. In order to quickly drain floodwater, many well covers are removed or washed away by rainwater backflow, leaving stormwater wells exposed and increasing the risk of people falling to their deaths.

[0003] For example, the Chinese authorized patent, CN112112251A (An Anti-clogging Rainwater Well), includes: a concrete mounting bracket, a guide column, a stabilizing bracket, a grate, a lifting rod, a connecting rod, a connecting pin, a cleaning blade, a cleaning bracket, a rainwater well, a diversion pipe, a sludge tank, a support bracket, a communicating vessel, and a warning frame. The concrete mounting bracket and the rainwater well are installed vertically, as are the grate and the cleaning bracket. The rainwater well frame is equipped with a diversion pipe, and the sludge tank is connected to the communicating vessel. A warning frame is connected to the end of the communicating vessel. In this anti-clogging rainwater well, when the grate's drainage hole becomes clogged, the lifting rod is operated, the connecting pin connects to the cleaning bracket, and the rod is pulled upwards. The cleaning blade cleans the impurities from the drainage hole, which fall into the sludge tank. Sewage is discharged through the diversion pipe, and sludge settles to the bottom of the tank. When the communicating vessel receives sufficient downward pressure from the sludge tank, the red hydraulic oil in the communicating pipe moves to the end of the communicating pipe, alerting workers to clean the sludge.

[0004] In recent years, there have been more and more incidents of short-term flooding and severe water accumulation in cities and businesses caused by extreme rainstorms. At present, there are no ready-made products on the market to prevent blockage and fall of rainwater wells. When urban flooding and large-scale water accumulation occur, drainage is usually carried out by using the holes in the sewer grid cover itself or by lifting the rainwater well cover.

[0005] After urban flooding occurs, drainage is typically carried out using the holes in the sewer grid covers or by opening the storm drain covers. However, sewer grid covers are easily clogged by debris such as fallen leaves and packaging bags in the water during drainage, requiring dedicated personnel for cleaning. This process is extremely labor-intensive and does not guarantee efficient drainage. Furthermore, while opening storm drain covers can effectively improve drainage efficiency, it poses a significant safety hazard when storm drains are opened during severe flooding or at night when lighting conditions are poor. This solution proposes a novel device that addresses the problems of easily clogged storm drain covers during extreme rainstorms and flooding, as well as the safety hazards associated with opening storm drain covers for drainage operations. It effectively improves drainage efficiency and eliminates the risk of people falling into storm drains. Therefore, to meet existing needs, we propose a storm drain anti-clogging and anti-fall device. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a rainwater well anti-clogging and personnel fall prevention device, the installation and use process of which is as follows:

[0034] Device installation: The device is fitted and installed on a standard-sized rainwater well opening. The third connecting O-ring 400 is secured in the groove of the rainwater well cover to ensure a stable installation and prevent displacement by rainwater. The fourth connecting O-ring 500 works with the second connecting reinforcing rod 501 to further enhance the structural strength and installation stability of the device bottom, adapting to the installation requirements of rainwater wells of different specifications.

[0035] State Switching: This device operates in two states depending on the usage scenario. Switching between these states is achieved via the handle 20201 and the external connecting rod 202, making operation convenient and requiring no complex tools.

[0036] In normal, non-flood season conditions: On sunny or lightly rainy days, when high-intensity drainage is not required, the entire device is pressed downwards. Under the elastic action of the telescopic connecting rod 404, the pulley 401 in the inner cavity 4002 of the third inner groove 4001 on the inner wall of the third connecting O-ring 400 moves out of the fixed cavity 10011 within the inner sliding cavity 1001 of the partition main upright 100, causing the partition main upright 100 to move downwards. Finally, the outer connecting rod 202 is embedded into the inner supporting cavity 4003 to complete its position fixation. In this state, the overall height of the device is reduced, minimizing exposed volume and preventing damage from external objects. Simultaneously, the partition mesh 700 can block larger debris from entering the rainwater well, providing basic filtration.

[0037] During the flood season, when there is a high risk of extreme rainstorms and urban flooding, staff can lift the first connecting O-ring 200 upwards by pulling the handle 20201. Since the partition main upright 100 is welded to the first connecting O-ring 200 through the first inner groove 2001, several partition main uprights 100 can be moved upwards synchronously until the pulley 401 inside the inner cavity 4002 of the third inner groove 4001 on the inner wall of the third connecting O-ring 400 is locked in the fixed cavity 10011 inside the inner sliding cavity 1001 under the elastic reset action of the telescopic connecting rod 404, thus completing the limit fixation. At this time, the partition main upright 100, the first connecting O-ring 200, the second connecting O-ring 300, the third connecting O-ring 400, and the fourth connecting O-ring 500 together form a three-dimensional cage structure, creating a protective space around and inside the rainwater well opening. The first connecting O-ring 200, the second connecting O-ring 300, the third connecting O-ring 400, and the fourth connecting O-ring 500 can be welded to the partition main upright 100 through the first inner groove 2001, the second inner groove 3001, the third inner groove 4001, and the fourth inner groove 5001, respectively.

[0038] Anti-clogging function achieved: During the flood season, the three-dimensional structure formed by the device changes the drainage surface from the traditional flat type to a vertical three-dimensional type. The gaps between the main partition poles 100 and the detachable partition net 700 create drainage channels on all four sides, greatly increasing the drainage contact area. Compared with traditional flat covers, the vertically set main partition poles 100 and partition net 700 are less prone to clogging by floating debris such as fallen leaves and packaging bags. Rainwater can quickly flow into the rainwater well through the surrounding facades, effectively improving drainage efficiency. It eliminates the need for constant cleaning of debris, reducing manpower and material consumption.

[0039] Fall prevention and warning functions are achieved: The three-dimensional cage structure itself forms a protective barrier, so even if the rainwater well cover is lifted or washed away, personnel and vehicles will not fall directly into the rainwater well, thus eliminating the risk of falling from the structure. At the same time, the sound and light alarm mechanism 600 on the first connecting reinforcement rod 201 inside the first connecting O-ring 200 can be automatically activated or manually triggered in low light conditions such as at night or on cloudy days to emit sound and light warning signals. Because the second embedded groove 3001 is welded to the partition main upright 100, when the equipment is pulled out as a whole, the reflective strip adapter structure that can be added to the outer wall of the first connecting O-ring 200 and the second connecting O-ring 300 further improves the visibility of the device and ensures the safety of drainage operations in all weather conditions.

[0040] Maintenance and Adaptation: The partition net 700 and the embedded installation cavity 1002 are detachable. When the partition net 700 is damaged or has a small amount of stubborn debris attached, it can be quickly disassembled, replaced, or cleaned. The material used for the device can be ordinary steel, which is inexpensive. It can also be replaced with other metal or non-metal materials according to different working environments, such as areas with strong corrosion. The shape of the device can be adapted and adjusted according to the shape of different rainwater well outlets, making it widely applicable. The battery cover 601 at the bottom of the audible and visual alarm mechanism 600 facilitates battery replacement and ensures that the warning function is continuously effective.

[0041] Working principle: The entire device is installed at the drain opening. The third connecting O-ring 400 is effectively installed on the upper side of the support wall of the drain opening. The device can be set to two states. In the first state, under normal sunny conditions, the entire device can be pressed downwards, causing the pulley 401 in the inner cavity 4002 of the third inner groove 4001 of the inner wall of the third connecting O-ring 400 to move out of the fixed cavity 10011 in the inner sliding cavity 1001. This allows the main support rod 100 to move downwards, and its position is finally fixed by the outer connecting rod 202 of the first connecting O-ring 200 embedded in the inner support cavity 4003. This state prevents the entire device from being excessively exposed to the outside when not in use, thus avoiding damage from impacts by foreign objects. The second state can be set to a larger position. When changing form during rainy weather, from the first state to the second state, the operator can pull the first connecting O-ring 200 upwards using handle 20201, thereby lifting the entire partition main support 100 upwards. Finally, the pulley 401 inside the inner cavity 4002 of the third inner groove 4001 of the inner wall of the third connecting O-ring 300 can be locked into the fixed cavity 10011 inside the inner sliding cavity 1001 for limiting and fixing. This allows the partition main support 100 to isolate the area around the drain opening, effectively preventing foreign objects from flowing into the drain pipe with rainwater during heavy rain and other rainy days, thus preventing blockage of the drain pipe. The connecting end 402, rotating shaft head 403, and telescopic connecting rod 404 can move the position of the partition main support 100 and the third connecting O-ring 400.
