Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water resource management, in particular to a rainwater collection and storage device. Background Art

[0002] Water shortage is an increasingly serious problem worldwide; many areas, such as parts of Wuling Mountain and Mufu Mountain in Hubei Province, are facing a serious water crisis. This crisis not only affects people's daily lives, but also has a profound impact on various fields such as agriculture and industry. Therefore, it has become an urgent need to effectively utilize existing water resources, and rainwater is one of the important water resources that people can use.

[0003] Among these areas, there is a karst area called Mufu Mountain in eastern Hubei. This area specifically refers to a geographical area where the area of ​​exposed and semi-exposed carbonate karst mountains accounts for more than 30%. Such areas have special geographical environment and climatic conditions, which lead to common droughts. Therefore, the use of rainwater resources is an important way to obtain water resources in such areas. However, the terrain of such areas is steep and the slope is large, which is prone to soil erosion. When rainwater flows through these areas, it is easy to wash away the gravel, soil and other particles on the surface, forming turbid rainwater. These particles will not only pollute the water quality, but also may affect the normal infiltration of rainwater and the recharge of groundwater, hindering ecological development. Therefore, when using rainwater in such areas, it is necessary to fully consider these characteristics and adopt appropriate technologies and equipment to ensure the effective use of rainwater and the sustainable development of the ecological environment.

[0004] In the prior art, people usually use rainwater collection and storage equipment to achieve effective use of rainwater. However, when using such equipment, there are often many problems such as low rainwater utilization rate, poor ventilation, and difficulty in ensuring water resource hygiene; for example, the patent with publication number CN107447933A discloses a rainwater collection and treatment device on the roof of a building. Although the device disclosed in the patent can achieve the effect of rainwater utilization, the device has a low utilization rate of rainwater and is not equipped with ventilation facilities, which easily affects the air quality in the water storage tank, making it difficult to ensure water resource hygiene. Therefore, a new type of rainwater collection and storage device is urgently needed to solve the above problems.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only used to deepen the understanding of the background technology of the present disclosure, and should not be regarded as acknowledging or suggesting in any form that the information constitutes the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

In order to allow the rainwater to flow, the water guide trough 41 is designed as an inclined surface, and a notch 411 is provided at the low point of the inclined surface to discharge the collected rainwater. Below the water guide trough 41, a group of support frames 42 for supporting the water guide trough 41 are also installed, and the support frame body 42 is designed to be retractable so that the rain collecting device 4 can adapt to eaves of different heights.

[0029] See also Figures 2-3A faucet 11 is installed on the side of the water tank 1. The water resources in the water tank are utilized by controlling the faucet 11. A drainage hole 15 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 1, and an overflow pipe 14 is installed on the top of the side. The overflow pipe 14 can prevent excessive water resources from overflowing the water tank 1, thereby affecting the sanitation of water resources; a vent, a cleaning port 121 and a water inlet 16 are respectively opened on the plane above the water tank 1, and a cover plate 12 is also provided on the cleaning port 121; a ventilation pipe 13 is also installed on the vent, and the ventilation pipe 13 is a curved pipe design. While the ventilation pipe 13 is used to ensure the safety of the air quality in the water tank 1, the curved pipe design can also prevent external pollution from falling into the water tank 1; in addition, when the water tank 1 needs to be cleaned, the water in the pool can be discharged by opening the drainage hole 15, and then the cover plate 12 is opened to manually enter and clean the water tank 1, which is not only convenient to operate, but also can effectively maintain the sanitation of the water tank 1.

[0030] See also Figures 2 to 5 The purification device includes a water injection tank 21, a grit tank 22 and a water outlet tank 23. A water outlet pipe 24 is connected between the water outlet tank 23 and the water storage tank 1. The diameter of the water outlet pipe 24 is adapted to the water inlet 16. A water injection port 211 is provided on the top of the water injection tank 21, a ventilation hole 212 is provided on the upper side, and a drainage hole 224 is provided on the bottom. The ventilation hole 212 can ensure that the air pressure in the water injection tank 21 is always equal to the air pressure. The grit tank 22 is connected to the bottom of the water injection tank 21. A water grid 25 is provided at the connection point. The water grid 25 can prevent the filter material in the grit tank 22 from entering the water injection tank 21. The grit tank 22 is provided with a water filter. The filter material 1 includes gravel and coarse sand, and the filter material 1 can be used to further filter impurities in rainwater; a cover plate 222 is provided on the sand settling tank 22, and a ventilation hole 221 is also provided on the cover plate 2, and the ventilation hole 221 can ensure that the air pressure in the sand settling tank 22 is always equal to the air pressure. The sand settling tank 22 is connected to the top of the water outlet tank 23, and a fine filter 26 is provided at the connection point. The filter material 2 is included in the fine filter 26; a drainage hole 3 233 is provided at the bottom of the water outlet tank 23, and a water outlet matching the water outlet pipe 24 is provided on the side. A cover plate 3 232 is also provided on the water outlet tank 23, and a ventilation hole 3 231 is provided on the cover plate 3 232. When the purification device 2 needs to be cleaned, the drainage hole 224 and the drainage hole 3 233 are opened to drain the water in the tank, and then the cover plate is opened for cleaning, so that the cleaning in the tank can be effectively realized. Regular cleaning of the purification device can ensure the purification effect of water resources and the sanitation of clean water.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6The water guide component 3 includes a water guide pipe 33 connected to the water injection pool 21.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 6 When implementing rainwater collection and storage, rainwater is collected by the water channel 41 attached to the eaves, and the rainwater flows into the water collecting funnel 32 through the notch 411. The rainwater can be initially filtered through the rainwater filter 31 to filter out some impurities with larger diameters; the filtered rainwater is injected into the water injection pool 21 through the water guide pipe 33, and then the rainwater flows into the filter material 1 in the grit tank 22 through the water grid 25 between the water injection pool 21 and the grit tank 22, so as to achieve coarse filtration. Due to the principle of the communicating vessel, as the water level of the water injection pool 21 continues to rise, the water level of the grit tank 22 also continues to rise until the filtered water flows from the fine filter 26 to the outlet pool 23. The filter material 2 in the fine filter here includes activated carbon material, and the activated carbon can adsorb smaller impurities in the water; the rainwater that has been filtered multiple times is already relatively clean, and finally, the water in the outlet pool 23 flows into the water storage tank 1 through the outlet pipe 24 for people's daily use.
