Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater collector technology, and in particular to a siphon-type roof rainwater collector. Background Technology
[0002] Water is an extremely precious resource. my country's water resources are not abundant, and two-thirds of the country's cities are short of water. With the acceleration of urbanization, the water consumption for urban landscaping, road cleaning, greening, and car washing has increased rapidly, making the already scarce water resources even more scarce. At the same time, due to the advancement of urbanization, more and more ground surfaces are covered by various buildings and roads, which prevents rainwater from infiltrating into the ground, increasing the pressure on urban drainage systems. In recent years, it is not surprising that we often hear reports of urban flooding. One way to solve the above problems is to collect and reuse the water that falls into the city. In this way, rainwater can be collected and treated and then used for urban landscaping, road cleaning, greening, toilet flushing, and car washing. On the one hand, this can alleviate the water shortage situation, and on the other hand, rainwater can be stored through rainwater harvesting modules to reduce the pressure on urban drainage systems and reduce the occurrence of urban flooding. Rainwater harvesting technology has emerged in this context.
[0003] Existing rainwater harvesting systems for buildings (notification number: CN209723178U) have at least the following drawbacks:
[0004] In the aforementioned patent, rainwater is filtered by setting a support platform inside the filter box and placing a filter screen on the support platform. This method is simple and convenient. However, impurities on the top surface of the filter screen will gradually accumulate as the filtration process continues, requiring manual cleaning. Frequent manual cleaning is troublesome and inconvenient to use, thus presenting certain limitations. Utility Model Content

A PLC controller is fixedly installed on one side of the treatment chamber 1. The collector also includes a cleaning assembly, which is located on both sides of the treatment chamber 1 and is used to clean impurities from the rainwater. The cleaning assembly includes a first fixing hole 3, which is formed on one side of the treatment chamber 1. A filter belt 4 is movably sleeved inside the first fixing hole 3. Support frames 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the treatment chamber 1 to support... Support holes 15 are provided on both sides of the support frame 11. A take-up roller 5 is movably sleeved on the inner circular wall of the support hole 15. The filter belt 4 is fixedly installed and wound on the outer circular wall of the take-up roller 5. A second fixing hole 16 is provided on both sides of the support frame 11. A cleaning roller 20 is movably sleeved on the inner circular wall of the second fixing hole 16. A second drive motor 7 and a first drive motor 6 are fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 11. One end of the drive shaft of the first drive motor 6 and the second drive motor 7 is fixedly installed with the take-up roller 5 and the cleaning roller 20, respectively. A collection bin 8 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support frame 11.
[0026] In use, rainwater mixed with impurities passes through the filter belt 4, which filters the impurities. At the same time, the first drive motor 6 on the left or right side is started to drive the take-up roller 5 to rotate, so that the two take-up rollers 5 unwind or rewind, so that the filter belt 4 carries the filtered impurities out from the first fixing hole 3 on the right or left side. Then, the second drive motor 7 is started to drive the cleaning roller 20 to rotate. The rotating cleaning roller 20 cleans the impurities on the top surface of the filter belt 4. The impurities are swept into the inside of the collection chamber 8, and large particles of impurities inside the collection chamber 8 are discharged through the discharge port at the bottom of the collection chamber 8.
[0027] In this embodiment, a plurality of second circular through holes are provided on one side of the support frame 11. A nozzle 17 is fixedly sleeved on the inner circular wall of the second circular through hole. A second water inlet pipe 9 is provided on one side of the support frame 11. The second water inlet pipe 9 is fixedly sleeved with the nozzle 17. Water collection tanks 10 are fixedly installed on both sides of the treatment tank 1. A third fixing hole 19 is provided on both sides of the treatment tank 1. The third fixing hole 19 is fixedly sleeved with the water collection tank 10. A rolling water plate 12 is fixedly sleeved inside the treatment tank 1.
[0028] In use, clean water is introduced into the second water inlet pipe 9 and sprayed out through several nozzles 17 to rinse the outside of the filter belt 4 to remove any remaining fine impurities. The rinsed impurities fall into the water collection chamber 10 and enter the treatment chamber 1 through the third fixing hole 19 for sedimentation.
[0029] In this embodiment, a third circular through hole is provided on the top surface of the processing chamber 1. A mixer 13 is movably sleeved on the inner circular wall of the third circular through hole. The mixer 13 is model Shenyilai-BLD09. The mixer 13 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the processing chamber 1. The drive motor of the mixer 13 is electrically connected to the PLC controller. A fourth circular through hole is provided on the top surface of the processing chamber 1. A feeding pipe 18 is fixedly sleeved on the inner circular wall of the fourth circular through hole. Two rectangular through holes are provided on the top surface of the processing chamber 1. A filter plate 14 is movably sleeved inside the rectangular through holes.
[0030] During use, the filtered rainwater enters the bottom of the treatment chamber 1 for sedimentation. The rainwater then flows over the rolling plate 12 and enters the right side of the treatment chamber 1. Flocculant is added into the treatment chamber 1 through the feeding pipe 18, and flocculation and sedimentation can be carried out in conjunction with the mixer 13. The rainwater is then filtered through the two filter plates 14. The filtered rainwater is discharged through the water pipe on the right side of the treatment chamber 1.
[0031] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:
[0032] Through the treatment chamber 1, when the user operates the system, a siphon-type rainwater hopper is installed on the top surface of the first water inlet pipe 2. The first water inlet pipe 2 and the siphon-type rainwater hopper are then installed on the roof using existing technology, which will not be described in detail here. Simultaneously, the second water inlet pipe 9 is connected to a clean water metal pipe. Therefore, when it rains, rainwater is discharged into the interior of the treatment chamber 1 through the first water inlet pipe 2. The rainwater, mixed with impurities, passes through the filter belt 4, which filters the impurities. At the same time, the left or right side is activated. The first drive motor 6 on one side drives the take-up roller 5 to rotate, causing the two take-up rollers 5 to unwind or wind up, so that the filter belt 4 carries the filtered impurities out from the first fixing hole 3 on the right or left side. Then, the second drive motor 7 is started to drive the cleaning roller 20 to rotate. The rotating cleaning roller 20 cleans the impurities on the top surface of the filter belt 4, and the impurities are swept into the collection chamber 8. At the same time, clean water is introduced into the second water inlet pipe 9 through the second water inlet pipe 9 and sprayed out through several nozzles 17 to clean the filter belt 4. The filter screen 4 washes away any remaining fine impurities from the outside. The washed impurities fall into the water collection chamber 10 and enter the treatment chamber 1 through the third fixing hole 19. Large particles of impurities inside the collection chamber 8 are discharged through the bottom discharge port of the collection chamber 8. The filtered rainwater enters the bottom of the treatment chamber 1 for sedimentation. The rainwater overflows the rolling water plate 12 and enters the right side of the treatment chamber 1. Flocculant is added to the treatment chamber 1 through the feeding pipe 18, which, together with the mixer 13, allows for flocculation and sedimentation. The rainwater is then filtered through the two filter plates 14. The filtered rainwater is discharged through the water pipe on the right side of the treatment chamber 1. This achieves the combined effect of filtering and discharging impurities from the rainwater in real time. The cleaning roller 20 and the second water inlet pipe 9 work together to clean and wash large and small particles of impurities. The collection chamber 8 collects the impurities, and the water collection chamber 10 collects, guides, and discharges the washed water into the treatment chamber 1. This facilitates the sedimentation of small impurities and eliminates the need for manual cleaning of the filtered impurities, making it convenient and practical.
