Through the combined action of plants and sand, the rainwater is purified and gradually seeps into the soil, conserving groundwater or replenishing urban water such as landscape water and toilet water. It is an ecologically sustainable stormwater control and rainwater utilization facility.
[0003] After searching, a Chinese patent disclosed a rain garden (authorization announcement number CN207284362U), in which a water-retaining granular layer, a water-retaining sand layer, and a planting layer are arranged in sequence from bottom to top within the base of the rain garden, and a perforated pipe is provided in the water-retaining granular layer, wherein: the matrix used for the planting layer is planting sand or planting soil improved from planting sand, and the planting sand is pottery sand prepared using fly ash. Although the patented technology has the arrangement of a granular layer, a sand layer and a planting layer with water-retaining properties, the water retention rate of the rain garden can reach 60-80%, which greatly improves its water retention performance compared with the water retention rate of 20-30% of a general rain garden, thereby increasing the survival rate of plants; at the same time, solid waste fly ash is used as the raw material for planting sand, which reduces the cost of raw materials, realizes the high added value conversion of solid waste, and achieves effective secondary utilization of waste resources.

[0039] Working principle: First, by dividing the garden into different planting areas, management is facilitated, and different plants can be planted in different planting areas. When the rainfall is large, the water-storing granular layer 101, the water-permeable layer 102, the permeable sand and gravel layer 103 and the planting layer 104 in the soil base layer 1 can absorb the rainwater and store it under the surface. The rainwater can also be collected in the water storage tank 7 in the middle of the soil base layer 1 through the inclined water trough 4, thereby storing a large amount of rainwater, so as to improve the water storage capacity of the rain garden and serve as reserve water for the rain garden, so that it can be used in dry weather, thereby improving the drought resistance of the device.

In this way, the rainwater can be sprayed into the corresponding water-deficient area through the sprinkler head 3, and water can be supplied to the plants in different planting areas according to the needs of the plants.
[0041] Then, the grille cover 5 can be used to block larger debris such as plastic and leaves in the rain garden, and the impurity filter 10 can be used to block small debris such as sand and stones in the rainwater, thereby preventing debris from clogging and filling the water tank 7, thereby ensuring the rainwater storage space in the water tank 7. The coordinated use of the external thread 9 and the internal thread 8 can make the water purification tray 11 detachable, so that the debris in the water purification tray 11 can be cleaned, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
