[0019] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figures 1-2 As shown, an underground utility tunnel with rainwater collection function includes several box culverts arranged in sequence. Several functional culverts 1 are provided on the box culverts. A first water storage culvert 2 and a second water storage culvert 3 are provided below the functional culverts 1. The first water storage culvert 2 is located on both sides of the second water storage culvert 3. The second water storage culverts 3 on both sides are connected to the support-type rainwater collection mechanism 5 through detachable connecting parts 4.
[0021] The support-type rainwater harvesting mechanism 5 includes a vertical section 51 and an inclined section 52, which are plugged into and connected. To improve the support strength of the inclined section 52, such as... Figure 3As shown, several grooves 524 are provided on the inner side of the inclined section 52, and support plates 525 are disposed within the grooves 524. The number of support plates 525 is determined according to the actual dimensions. Figure 4 As shown, the vertical section 51 has an insertion groove 513 and a sealing groove at its bottom, and the inclined section 52 has an insertion protrusion 522 and a sealing groove at its top. The sealing grooves of the vertical section 51 and the inclined section 52 are arranged opposite each other and are equipped with sealing strips. A filter mechanism 6 is provided on the vertical section 51, and a horizontal reinforcing plate 511 is provided on the side of the vertical end. A vertical reinforcing plate 512 is provided on the horizontal reinforcing plate 511. A positioning groove 521 is provided at the bottom of the inclined section 52. The positioning groove 521 has stepped patterns and a positioning anchor plate 53 is provided in the positioning groove 521. The positioning anchor plate 53 is fixed to the slope of the pipe gallery pit by anchor rods 54.
[0022] The bottom of the inclined section 52 is provided with several water outlet channels 523. The water outlet channels 523 are connected to one end of the detachable connecting member 4. The other end of the detachable connecting member 4 is connected to the water inlet of the first water storage culvert 2. The detachable connecting member 4 is a corrugated pipe with connecting flanges at both ends to achieve communication with the first water storage culvert.
[0023] To prevent debris from rainwater from entering the pipe gallery, a filtration mechanism 6 is installed, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the filtration mechanism 6 includes a first filter plate 61 disposed at the top of the vertical section 51, and a second filter plate 62 disposed within the vertical section 51. The second filter plate 62 is obliquely disposed within the vertical section 51 via a connecting spring 63. A swing vibration assembly 64 is disposed at one end of the second filter plate 62, and a collection basket 65 is disposed at the lower end of the second filter plate 62. The swing vibration assembly 64 includes an L-shaped guide rail 641 connected to the second filter plate 62. A first cam 642 is disposed in the vertical rail of the L-shaped guide rail 641, and a second cam 643 is disposed in the horizontal rail of the L-shaped guide rail 641. The rotation shafts of the first cam 642 and the second cam 643 are connected by a belt, and the rotation shaft of the first cam 642 or the second cam 643 is connected to a swing drive motor 644.
[0024] An overflow hole 31 is provided between the first water storage culvert 2 and the second water storage culvert 3. When there is too much rainwater, the upper clear liquid flows into the second water storage culvert 3.
[0025] In actual utility tunnels, electrical rooms are located within, where cables and electronic components generate significant heat, necessitating cooling equipment. Therefore, this embodiment utilizes rainwater for water cooling. The second water storage culvert 3 is equipped with a cooling pipe 7 connected to the functional culvert 1. The cooling section of the cooling pipe 7 is located within the functional culvert 1 and is equipped with a cooling pump 71. The outlet of the cooling pipe 7 is located within the second water storage culvert 3, while the inlet of the cooling pipe 7 passes through the second water storage culvert 3 and the overflow hole 31, located within the first water storage culvert 2. A buoyancy filter 72 is installed at the inlet of the cooling pipe 7. Rainwater with low sediment content is pumped into the cooling pipe 7 and then discharged into the second water storage culvert 3, achieving rainwater separation and heat dissipation within the electrical room.
[0026] The inlet of the first water storage culvert 2 is equipped with a hydroelectric turbine 8, which generates hydroelectric power when rainwater flows into the first water storage culvert 2. The hydroelectric turbine 8 is electrically connected to the energy storage components in the functional box culvert. The first water storage culvert 2 is equipped with a stirring shaft 9 and a stirring motor 10, which is electrically connected to the energy storage components. The first water storage culvert 2 is equipped with a sewage pump 11. The outlet pipe of the sewage pump 11 passes through the overflow hole 31 and is connected to the sewage pipe in the functional box culvert of the second water storage culvert 3. After the rainwater sedimentation and separation are completed, the remaining slurry with more mud and sand is discharged through the sewage pump 11 to avoid excessive accumulation of mud and sand in the first water storage culvert 2.
[0027] During construction, anchor plates 53 are fixed to the slope of the foundation pit using anchor rods 54. The inclined section 52 is hoisted to the position of the anchor plate 53, so that the anchor plate 53 is in the positioning groove 521, thus fixing the inclined section 52. The vertical section 51 is hoisted and inserted into the top of the inclined section 52. At the same time, the vertical reinforcement plate 512 is inserted into the foundation, which limits the vertical section 51 in the up and down and left and right directions. During the splicing of the pipe gallery, it plays the role of slope support. After the pipe gallery is spliced, the detachable connecting piece 4 is connected to connect the pipe gallery with the support-type rainwater collection mechanism 5, which facilitates the subsequent collection of rainwater.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
