[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, any water falling hole is further provided with a lateral interface; the lateral interface is connected with the third branch water pipe 7; a second control valve 8 is arranged on any third branch water pipe 7.
[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the rainwater collection tank 9 is provided with a liquid level sensor, which is electrically connected or communicatively connected to the controller; the liquid level sensor is configured to detect the liquid level in the rainwater collection tank 9, and send a discharge signal to the controller when the liquid level exceeds a configured discharge threshold, and send a stop-discharge signal to the controller when the liquid level is below a configured stop-discharge threshold.
[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the rainwater collection tank 9 is further provided with a drain pipe 14; one end of the drain pipe 14 is connected to one end of the rainwater collection tank 9; the other end of the drain pipe 14 is connected to the discharge pipe 10 arranged on the bank; the drain pipe 14 is sequentially provided with a third control valve 11, a rainwater discharge pump 12 and a fourth control valve 13.
[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the rainwater collection tank 9 can be arranged in the empty cabin at the bow or stern of the ship; the rainwater collection tank can be provided with one or more.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the rainwater sensor is arranged on the deck of the ship, and is configured to send a rain signal to the controller when it senses rain; specifically, the rainwater sensor can be one of an IFR202 infrared rain sensor and an intelligent wind and rain sensor HS7000-FY01.
[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the first control valve 5, the second control valve 8, the third control valve 11 and the fourth control valve 13 are all electro-hydraulic butterfly valves; when the electro-hydraulic butterfly valve is open, the pipeline is connected; when the electro-hydraulic butterfly valve is closed, the pipeline is not connected.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the device can also be selected with a rainwater sensor with timing function, and the timing threshold is set to 15-20 minutes. When the rainwater sensor detects rainwater, the timing starts. When the timing threshold is reached, the rainwater sensor sends a signal to the controller to stop collecting. After the controller receives the signal to stop collecting, the first control valve is controlled to be closed and the second control valve is controlled to be opened, so that the rainwater collection tank only collects the rainwater at the beginning of the rain, and does not collect the rainwater at the middle and late stages of the rain, but is discharged to the water area where the ship is located through the third branch water pipe, thereby reducing the burden of the rainwater collection tank while avoiding pollution.
[0049] In another embodiment of the present application, a rainwater detector can also be provided on the deck. When the rainwater sensor detects rainwater, it sends a start detection signal to the controller. After the controller receives the start detection signal, it sends a rainwater detection instruction to the rainwater detector. The rainwater detector starts to detect rainwater based on the received instruction. When the rainwater detector detects that the concentration of pollutants in the rainwater is less than the pre-set discharge threshold, a dischargeable signal is generated and sent to the controller. After the controller receives the dischargeable signal, the first control valve is controlled to be closed and the second control valve is controlled to be opened, so that the rainwater is discharged to the water area along the scupper and the branch water pipe.
[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the controller can be a relay, or a control valve control console provided in the main control room of the ship, which controls the state of the control valve through a control button.
[0051] In another embodiment of the present application, the drain pipe 14 can also be connected to the rainwater treatment device, and the third control valve is controlled to be opened, so that the rainwater discharged from the rainwater collection tank 9 by the rainwater discharge pump is discharged to the rainwater treatment device, so that the rainwater treatment device purifies and reuses the rainwater after treatment.
[0052] In another embodiment of the present application, an oil stain filter membrane or other oil stain separation device is also provided in the deck scupper, which is arranged below the filter device, and is used for separating oil stains from the liquid passing through the filter device, so that only water molecules can pass through the scupper hole into the rainwater collection pipe, and oil and other impurities cannot enter the rainwater collection pipe, thereby avoiding being discharged to the water area or the rainwater collection tank, and reducing environmental pollution.
[0053] In another embodiment of the present application, rainwater detection devices can also be arranged at each second control valve and each first control valve, when the rainwater detection device at each second control valve detects that the pollutants in the water are greater than the preset pollution threshold, the controller controls the second control valve to close and opens each first control valve, so that the rainwater or water in the rainwater collection pipe flows into the rainwater collection tank instead of being discharged into the water area, avoiding environmental pollution; when the rainwater detection device at each first control valve detects that the pollutants in the water are less than the preset discharge threshold, the first control valve is closed and the second control valve is opened, so that the water is discharged into the water area.
[0054] In other embodiments of the present application, each branch water pipe has a slope, for example, the third branch water pipe is inclined from the inside to the outside of the ship, so that the rainwater can be quickly discharged to the corresponding position; each rainwater collection pipe and each branch water pipe is provided with a vortex generator or a nozzle, so that when the rainwater flows through the corresponding water pipe, the pipe wall can be cleaned.
[0055] In another embodiment of the present application, the deck scupper is a deck scupper with a gravity sensing device, which can detect the attitude of the ship at this time and adjust the inclination angle of the deck scupper according to the attitude of the ship, so that the rainwater can quickly enter the rainwater collection pipe, and also maintain good rainwater collection effect on the rough sea surface.
[0056] In other embodiments of the present application, the deck scupper and the scupper hole can also be provided with a gravity sensing device to correspondingly adjust the inclination angle of the deck scupper and the scupper hole, so that the rainwater can be collected more quickly.
[0057] The working process is:
[0058] When it is not raining, the second control valve is in an open state, at this time the water on the deck will enter the first rainwater collection pipe and the second rainwater collection pipe through the scupper and the scupper hole, and be discharged into the water area through the third branch water pipe; when the rain sensor detects that it is raining, it will send a signal to the controller, and after the controller receives the signal that it starts to rain, it controls the second control valve to close and controls each first control valve to open, at this time the rainwater enters the first rainwater collection pipe and the second rainwater collection pipe through the scupper and the scupper hole, and enters the rainwater collection tank through the first branch water pipe and the second branch water pipe; when the rainwater collection exceeds the preset time, the second control valve is opened and the first control valve is closed, at this time the rainwater enters the first rainwater collection pipe and the second rainwater collection pipe through the scupper and the scupper hole, and is discharged into the water area through the third branch water pipe; so as to realize the collection of initial rainwater.
[0059] Meanwhile, the liquid level sensor in the rainwater collecting cabinet detects the liquid level in the rainwater collecting cabinet in real time, when the liquid level exceeds the preset height threshold, the controller controls the third control valve to open, and controls the rainwater discharge pump to extract rainwater from the rainwater collecting cabinet, if the ship is docked at this time, the fourth control valve is opened, and the rainwater discharge pump is controlled to discharge the extracted rainwater to the discharge pipe; when the liquid level is lower than the preset stop discharging threshold, the third control valve and the fourth control valve are closed, and the rainwater discharge pump stops extracting rainwater.
[0060] The utility model realizes the automatic rainwater collection, and improves the efficiency of rainwater collection.
