Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of municipal drainage facilities technology, and more specifically, to a novel intelligent drainage grate for drainage in urban roads, parks, scenic areas, overpasses, and other similar locations. Background Technology

[0002] Storm drains (also known as storm drain grates) are the most basic and cutting-edge facilities in urban drainage systems, and their performance directly affects the efficiency of road drainage and the prevention of urban flooding. Traditional storm drain grates have a simple structure and single function, and mainly suffer from the following shortcomings:

[0003] Prone to clogging and difficult to clean and maintain: Traditional grates rely solely on the mesh to trap debris, and garbage such as leaves and plastic bags easily clog the grate holes, leading to poor drainage. Once clogged, manual inspection and cleaning are required, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and poses safety hazards.

[0004] The drainage efficiency is not adjustable: the water passage area of ​​traditional grates is fixed. When heavy rain or excessive instantaneous rainfall occurs, the drainage capacity cannot be dynamically increased, leading to rapid water accumulation on the road surface and urban flooding.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, functions such as "automatic cleaning" and "accelerated drainage" are organically integrated to form a comprehensive intelligent solution.

[0006] Therefore, developing a new type of intelligent drainage grate that integrates automatic unblocking and adaptive accelerated drainage functions is of great practical significance for improving the intelligence level of urban drainage systems and the ability to prevent and control urban flooding. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a novel intelligent drain grate that enables automatic water accumulation sensing, intelligent motor drive, and automatic removal of accumulated debris from the drain outlet. It also features waterproof sealing, stable installation, and convenient maintenance.

[0008] Technical solution

[0009] A smart induction eddy current acceleration drain grate includes:

[0010] Square frame and motor cavity, pressure sensor, fan-shaped water grate, motor shaft, motor, motor fixing cover, circuit board slot cover, circuit board slot wire hole, sealing ring, fastening screw, fastening nut, fixing bolt.

[0011] The square frame is an integral mounting base, consisting of an upper plane and a lower motor cavity;

[0012] The pressure sensor is mounted on the upper part of the frame to detect whether water has accumulated on the road surface and output an electrical signal;

[0013] The circuit board is placed in a slot inside the frame and is sealed by a circuit board slot cover.

[0014] The motor is fixed inside the motor cavity by a motor fixing cover plate, and the motor shaft extends upward and is connected to a fan-shaped water grate;

[0015] A sealing ring is installed between the frame and the cover plate to form a waterproof and sealed structure;

[0016] The entire assembly is reliably installed using fastening screws, fastening nuts, and fixing bolts.

[0017] When the sensor detects that the water pressure or the accumulation of material at the drain outlet reaches a threshold, the circuit board controls the motor to start, which drives the fan-shaped water grate to rotate and form a vortex, greatly increasing the drainage flow rate; after the water is drained, the motor automatically stops, achieving energy-saving operation.

[0018] Beneficial effects

[0019] 1. Intelligent automation: Sensors detect water accumulation or debris in real time and automatically start and stop the motor without human intervention.

[0020] 2. High drainage efficiency: The motor drives the fan blades to rotate, forming a vortex that actively accelerates the downward flow, significantly improving the drainage speed.

[0021] 3. Sealed and waterproof: It adopts a sealing ring for sealing, and the electrical control part is moisture-proof and waterproof, with a long service life.

[0022] 4. Stable structure: Multiple sets of bolts and nuts ensure secure installation, resisting vehicle crushing and displacement.

[0023] 5. Easy maintenance: The top cover can be opened to directly contact the circuit and motor, making maintenance simple.

[0024] 6. Wide applicability: It can be used for drainage outlets in urban roads, parks, scenic spots, overpasses and other places, and is compatible with various municipal roads. Attached Figure Description

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a novel intelligent drainage grate includes a square frame (2), with a sensor (1) installed on the upper part of the frame (2). The frame (2) has internal circuit board slots, which are sealed by a cover plate (5), and wiring holes (8) for wiring. A motor (6) is installed inside the motor cavity and secured by a motor fixing cover plate (7). The motor shaft (4) is connected upwards to a fan-shaped drainage grate (3). Sealing rings (12) are installed at the joint surfaces of the frame (2) and each cover plate to achieve overall waterproofing. The entire grate is securely connected to the road surface foundation using fastening screws (10), fastening nuts (9), and fixing bolts (11).

[0034] Work process:

[0035] The road surface water pressure sensor (1) outputs a signal to the circuit board; after the control system determines that the water depth has reached the standard, it starts the motor (6) to drive the fan-shaped water grate (3) to rotate at high speed to form a vortex, so that the water can be drained quickly.

[0036] When there is no standing water on the road surface, the pressure signal disappears, the motor automatically stops, and enters standby energy-saving mode.

[0037] When debris accumulates at the drain outlet, it sends a signal to the sensor (1) and inputs it to the circuit board. After the control system determines that the debris accumulation meets the standard, it starts the motor (6) and drives the fan-shaped water grate (3) to rotate at high speed to generate centrifugal force, so that the debris is quickly moved away from the drain outlet.

[0038] Once the drain outlet is cleaned, the pressure signal disappears, the motor automatically stops, and enters standby energy-saving mode.

[0039] In summary, this invention creatively solves several pain points of traditional water grates through the deep integration of mechanical structure, electronic sensing and automatic control, achieving automated cleaning, intelligent drainage and high efficiency. It is also structurally reliable and easy to maintain, providing an efficient, reliable and intelligent infrastructure unit for building a "smart city" drainage system.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
