[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-2 The roof rainwater harvesting, purification and reuse system shown includes a roof rainwater harvesting system, an underground water storage system, a purification system and a reuse and discharge system. The roof rainwater harvesting system includes a rainwater harvesting tank 1 installed on the roof. Aquatic plants 2 are planted inside the rainwater harvesting tank 1. A filter screen 3 is fixedly installed at the opening of the rainwater harvesting tank 1. The aquatic plants 2 pass through the holes of the filter screen 3.
[0029] The underground water storage system includes an underground water storage tank 4. A drainage system is provided between the water storage tank 4 and the rainwater collection tank 1. The drainage system includes a drain pipe 13. One end of the drain pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rainwater collection tank 1, and the other end of the drain pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the water storage tank 4. The drain pipe 13 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the wall by pipe clamps to ensure the stability and safety of the drainage process.
[0030] The purification system includes a purification box 5 installed underground. The purification box 5 is connected to the water storage tank 4 through a connecting pipe 6. The purification box 5 is equipped with multiple frosted glass ball layers 7 and multiple activated carbon particle layers 8. The multiple frosted glass ball layers 7 and multiple activated carbon particle layers 8 are arranged alternately and staggered. A precision filter screen 9 is installed between the frosted glass ball layers 7 and the activated carbon particle layers 8.
[0031] The reuse and discharge system includes a water-storing pump 10 installed on the ground. The input end of the water-storing pump 10 is fixedly provided with a pumping pipe 11, and the output end of the water-storing pump 10 is fixedly provided with an irrigation pipe 12 extending to the ground. The end of the irrigation pipe 12 is provided with a surface plant irrigation component 15, which consists of a pipe network and nozzles.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the side wall of the purification box 5 is fixedly equipped with an overflow discharge pipe 14, and the end of the overflow discharge pipe 14 is equipped with an overflow discharge system, which can discharge excess rainwater into the designated overflow discharge system and safely discharge it into the urban rainwater pipe network or natural water body to avoid water accumulation problems.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] During rainfall, rainwater from the roof naturally flows into the rainwater collection tank 1. The filter screen 3 at the opening of the rainwater collection tank 1 plays a preliminary filtration role, intercepting larger impurities in the rainwater, such as leaves and branches, to prevent them from entering the subsequent system. At the same time, the aquatic plants 2 planted in the rainwater collection tank 1 can not only adsorb and degrade some pollutants in the rainwater through their own growth and metabolism, playing a preliminary purification role, but also further enhance the filtration effect of the rainwater by passing through the pores of the filter screen 3, so that the rainwater flowing into the rainwater collection tank 1 is initially purified and filtered.
[0035] Rainwater transport and storage stage: After preliminary filtration and purification, the rainwater flows from the bottom of the rainwater collection tank 1 to the underground storage tank 4 through the drain pipe 13 in the drainage system. The storage tank 4 is used to store a large amount of rainwater and plays a role in regulating the water volume. When the rainfall is heavy, it stores excess rainwater to avoid waste caused by direct discharge of rainwater. During periods of little rain or drought, it provides a stable water source for subsequent purification and utilization.
[0036] Rainwater purification stage: When rainwater is needed, the rainwater in the storage tank 4 flows into the purification tank 5 through the connecting pipe 6. When the rainwater flows through the frosted glass ball layer 7, the irregular surface and large specific surface area of the frosted glass balls can further filter the suspended particles in the rainwater. Then, the rainwater enters the activated carbon particle layer 8. Activated carbon, with its strong adsorption performance, adsorbs odors, pigments, organic pollutants and some heavy metal ions in the rainwater, effectively improving the water quality of the rainwater. The precision filter 9 performs the final fine filtration of the rainwater after the first two purification processes, intercepting tiny particles to ensure that the rainwater flowing out of the purification tank 5 meets a high water quality standard.
[0037] Rainwater reuse and discharge stage: The purified rainwater is drawn by a water-storable pump 10. The input end of the water-storable pump 10 is connected to the purification tank 5 through the pumping pipe 11, and the output end is connected to the irrigation pipe 12 extending to the ground. The surface plant irrigation component 15 at the end of the irrigation pipe 12 sprays or delivers the purified rainwater evenly to the roots of the surface plants, realizing the reuse of rainwater, meeting the water needs of plant growth, reducing dependence on municipal water supply, and achieving the purpose of water conservation. In addition, when the water level in the purification tank 5 or the water storage tank 4 is too high, the overflow discharge pipe 14 on the side wall of the purification tank 5 will discharge the excess rainwater to the designated overflow discharge system to avoid damage to the system due to excessive water level.
[0038] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
