Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of rainwater recycling, and particularly to a rainwater collection system. Background Art

[0002] The rainwater collection pond is one of the important components of mine construction, which can collect and recycle surface water, or discharge it centrally, effectively preventing surface water accumulation in the mine, reducing the harm of mine rain floods, and reducing the production water cost and flood control cost.

[0003] In actual production, most mines only set up rainwater collection ponds and set manual-operated drain gate valves or gates. It is necessary to manually inspect the liquid level of the rainwater collection pond on-site to manually open the gate or valve to drain some of the collected water when the liquid level exceeds the anti-overflow level of the rainwater collection pond, so as to avoid water overflow and affect or pollute the ground or equipment around the collection pond.

[0004] If the liquid level of the rainwater collection pond is always inspected manually, while consuming labor costs, there are also great potential safety hazards in special situations such as thunderstorm weather or continuous rainfall. Therefore, this application proposes a rainwater collection system, which can replace manual on-site inspection and control of the rainwater collection and discharge process, reduce labor costs, and avoid exposing operators to extreme weather environments.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present application, the rainwater collection system further includes a water intake component. The water intake component is provided with a pump body. The input end of the pump body is connected to one end of a water suction pipe, and the other end of the water suction pipe is disposed in the pool body. The output end of the pump body is connected to one end of a water delivery pipe, and the other end of the water delivery pipe is connected to a water using terminal.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present application, the measurement component further includes a second electromagnetic flowmeter disposed on the water delivery pipe and used to record the amount of water extracted by the water intake component.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present application, the rainwater collection system further includes a controller electrically connected to the electric gate, the first electromagnetic valve, the second electromagnetic valve, the liquid level detector, the first electromagnetic flowmeter, the rainfall detector, the pump body, and the second electromagnetic flowmeter; the controller pre-stores a number of control instructions. The controller receives the signals sent by the liquid level detector, the first electromagnetic flowmeter, the rainfall detector, and the second electromagnetic flowmeter, and matches the corresponding control instructions to calculate and analyze each signal. The controller matches the corresponding control instructions to control the opening / closing of the electric gate, the first electromagnetic valve, and the second electromagnetic valve, and to control the pump body to do work.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present application, the rainwater collection system further includes an interaction device electrically connected to the controller. The interaction device is electrically connected to the controller. The interaction device converts the signals output by the controller into text or pictures for display, and into audio for output; at the same time, it receives the operations of the staff and converts them into signals for transmission to the controller.

[0017] The technical solution provided by the present application may include the following beneficial effects:

[0018] During the use of this application, the actual liquid level of the pool is obtained through a liquid level detector, and the rainfall near the rainwater collection pool is obtained through a rainfall detector. When it is necessary to introduce the rainwater collected in the drainage ditch into the pool for storage, the first solenoid valve is controlled to open, the second solenoid valve is controlled to close, and the opening degree of the electric gate is controlled to be reduced, so as to introduce the rainwater in the drainage ditch into the pool. When the water storage in the pool reaches the upper limit, the first solenoid valve is controlled to close, the second solenoid valve is controlled to open, and the opening degree of the electric gate is controlled to be increased, so that while the drainage ditch drains normally, the excess rainwater in the pool is discharged to avoid the rainwater in the pool from overflowing. This replaces the process of manual on-site inspection and control of rainwater collection and discharge, reduces labor costs, and avoids exposing operators to extreme weather conditions.

[0033] Among them, refer to Figure 1 , the drainage ditch 1 is used to collect and drain rainwater in the mine, and is provided with an electric gate 11. By controlling the opening degree of the electric gate 11, the amount of water flowing to the downstream of the drainage ditch 1 can be changed. The pool body 2 is used to store rainwater for mine production. The pipe network assembly 3 includes a water injection pipe 31 and a drain pipe 32 with one end connected to the pool body 2, a first electromagnetic valve 33 and a second electromagnetic valve 34 respectively provided on the water injection pipe 31 and the drain pipe 32. The other ends of the water injection pipe 31 and the drain pipe 32 are both connected to the drainage ditch 1. The water injection pipe 31 is provided on the side of the electric gate 11 valve adjacent to the upstream of the drainage ditch 1, and the drain pipe 32 is provided on the side of the electric gate 11 valve adjacent to the downstream of the drainage ditch 1; controlling the first electromagnetic valve 33 to open, and controlling the second electromagnetic valve 34 and the electric gate 11 to close, the rainwater in the drainage ditch 1 can be drained into the pool body 2 for storage; controlling the second electromagnetic valve 34 to close and controlling the second electric gate 11 to open, the water in the pool body 2 can be drained into the drainage ditch 1 for discharge. The measurement assembly 4 includes a liquid level detector 41 provided in the pool body 2 and is used to detect the liquid level inside the pool body 2. By comparing the real-time liquid level detected by the liquid level detector 41 with the preset liquid level range, it is determined whether it is necessary to store water in the pool body 2 or discharge part of the water in the pool body 2, and the opening / closing of the first electromagnetic valve 33 and the second electromagnetic valve 34, as well as the opening degree of the electric gate 11, are selected and controlled, so as to replace the manual supervision and control of the rainwater collection process and avoid the overflow of the rainwater stored in the pool body 2.

[0034] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 , the measurement assembly 4 further includes a first electromagnetic flowmeter 42. The first electromagnetic flowmeter 42 is provided at one end of the water injection pipe 31 adjacent to the pool body 2 and is used to record the water flow drained from the drainage ditch 1 into the pool body 2. By matching the value of the liquid level detector 41, the amount of rainwater directly falling into the pool body 2 can be known.

[0035] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 , the measurement assembly 4 further includes a rain gauge 43 and is used to detect the rainfall per unit time near the pool body 2. By comparing the real-time rainfall with the preset numerical range, the appropriate timing for water storage and drainage can be selected.

[0036] It should be noted that the liquid level detector 41 obtains the actual liquid level of the pool body 2, and the rain detector 43 obtains the rainfall near the rainwater collection pool. By comparing the two detected data with the preset values, it can be judged whether to reverse the rainwater in the drainage ditch 1 into the pool body 2 for storage, and whether to drain the water in the pool body 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the actual liquid level of the pool body 2 is obtained by the liquid level detector 41, and the rainfall near the rainwater collection pool is obtained by the rain detector 43; when it is necessary to introduce the rainwater collected in the drainage ditch 1 into the pool body 2 for storage, the first solenoid valve is controlled to open, the second solenoid valve is controlled to close, and the opening degree of the electric gate 11 is controlled to be reduced, so as to introduce the rainwater in the drainage ditch 1 into the pool body 2; when the water storage in the pool body 2 reaches the upper limit, the first solenoid valve is controlled to close, the second solenoid valve is controlled to open, and the opening degree of the electric gate 11 is controlled to be increased, so that while the drainage ditch 1 drains water normally, the excess rainwater in the pool body 2 is discharged to avoid the rainwater in the pool body 2 from overflowing. This replaces the process of manual on-site inspection and control of rainwater collection and discharge, reduces labor costs, and at the same time avoids operators being exposed to extreme weather conditions.
