Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rainwater treatment devices, and in particular to an automatic collection and discharge system for initial rainwater. Background Art

[0002] During the production process, enterprises usually leave a lot of raw materials and waste on the ground in the factory due to material spillage, leakage, etc., which are washed into the rainwater pipe network during rainfall, causing rainwater pollution. Moreover, if it does not rain for a long time, the quality of the rainwater remaining in the pipe network will gradually deteriorate. If it is discharged directly, it will have an adverse impact on the water ecological environment. Therefore, it is necessary to collect and treat the rainwater in the initial discharge stage.

[0003] At present, the standards and requirements for the collection and discharge of initial rainwater are gradually becoming clear, and some areas have begun to implement the new standards. As time goes by, it is believed that the standards for the collection and discharge of initial rainwater will be widely required and implemented. At present, many companies are still in the initial stage of understanding the collection and discharge of initial rainwater. Some companies that implement the collection and discharge of initial rainwater are mostly manually operated and controlled. This operation requires constant attention to weather changes, consumes a lot of time and manpower, and in most cases cannot be performed in a timely manner.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the application and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to ordinary technicians in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an initial rainwater automatic collection and discharge system, which realizes the automatic collection and discharge of initial rainwater and reduces labor costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application is implemented using the following technical solutions:

[0007] An initial automatic rainwater collection and discharge system includes a rainwater collection pool, one end of the rainwater collection pool is connected to a rainwater inlet main pipe, a rainwater inlet valve is provided on the rainwater inlet main pipe, a water level sensing float is provided inside the rainwater collection pool, a submersible pump is provided at the bottom of the rainwater collection pool, the submersible pump is connected to the rainwater collection pipe, the bottom of the rainwater collection pool is connected to a rainwater drainage pipe, a rainwater discharge valve and a discharge flow meter are provided on the rainwater drainage pipe, the rainwater inlet valve, the water level sensing float, the submersible pump and the rainwater discharge valve are connected to a first PLC, and the rainwater discharge valve and the discharge flow meter are connected to a second PLC.

[0008] Optionally, a filter box is provided at the outlet of the rainwater inlet main pipe in the rainwater collection pool.

[0009] Optionally, a pump placement pit is provided at the bottom of the rainwater collection pool, and the submersible pump is placed in the pump placement pit.

[0010] Optionally, a collection flow meter is provided on the rainwater collection pipe.

[0011] Optionally, the rainwater collection pool is a cement pool.

[0012] Optionally, the bottom of the rainwater collection pool is configured to be an inclined bottom from high to low, and the lower part of the inclined bottom is located near the pump placement pit.

[0013] Optionally, the rainwater inlet main pipe and the rainwater collection pipe are PE pipes, and the filter box is a PP box.

[0014] Optionally, the rainwater discharge valve and the rainwater inlet valve are solenoid valves.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] A rainwater collection pool is built, and a liquid level sensing float is installed in the collection pool. When the weather is clear, the rainwater inlet valve is always open and the rainwater discharge valve is always closed. The liquid level in the rainwater collection pool is constant. When it rains, rainwater continues to enter the rainwater collection pool through the pipeline. When the water level sensing float senses that the initial rainwater has collected to a certain liquid level, the first PLC controls the rainwater inlet valve to close and the submersible pump to start, pumping all the initial rainwater in the collection pool to the wastewater treatment station. When the rainwater in the rainwater collection pool is pumped out, the submersible pump is turned off, and the liquid level inside the rainwater collection pool is sensed by the water level sensing float. The first and second PLCs control the rainwater inlet valve to open and the rainwater discharge valve to open. When a continuous 24H discharge flow meter is set and there is no rainwater flowing through, the rainwater discharge valve automatically closes. This automated initial rainwater collection and discharge system realizes the automatic collection and discharge of initial rainwater, meets legal and regulatory requirements, and reduces labor costs at the same time.

When the weather is clear, the rainwater inlet valve 3 is normally open, and the rainwater discharge valve The door 12 is normally closed, and the liquid level in the rainwater collection tank 1 is constant. When it rains, rainwater continues to enter the rainwater collection tank 1 through the pipeline. When the water level sensing float 5 senses that the initial rainwater has collected to a certain liquid level, the first PLC6 controls the rainwater inlet valve to close, and the submersible pump 10 starts to pump all the initial rainwater in the rainwater collection tank 1 to the wastewater treatment station. When the rainwater in the rainwater collection tank 1 is pumped out, the submersible pump 10 is turned off, and the liquid level inside the rainwater collection tank 1 is sensed by the water level sensing float 5. The first PLC6 and the second PLC14 control the rainwater inlet valve 3 to open, and the rainwater discharge valve 12 to open. When the continuous 24H discharge flow meter 13 is set and there is no rainwater flowing through the count, the rainwater discharge valve 12 automatically closes. This automated initial rainwater collection and discharge system realizes the automatic collection and discharge of initial rainwater, meets legal and regulatory requirements, and reduces labor costs at the same time.

[0023] A pump placement pit 9 is provided at the bottom of the rainwater collection pool 1, and a submersible pump 10 is placed in the pump placement pit 9 to reduce the impact of the submersible pump 10 on the liquid level in the rainwater collection pool 1.
