Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater harvesting and utilization storage tank technology, specifically a rainwater harvesting and utilization storage tank for green buildings. Background Technology
[0002] As man-made structures, houses serve to shelter from wind and rain. In areas with heavy rainfall and long rain cycles, much rainwater falls directly from roofs and walls to the ground and is then discharged through sewers. This increases the burden on urban drainage systems, and most rainwater seeps into the ground, making it impossible to directly recycle and resulting in a significant waste of water resources. An existing green building filtration-type rainwater harvesting device (Publication No.: CN213680092U) has the following drawbacks in use:
[0003] During use, rainwater is filtered through a filter box for sedimentation. However, the impurities after sedimentation are not easy to clean and require subsequent cleaning by staff, which is inconvenient. Therefore, this patent proposes a green building rainwater collection and utilization storage tank to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rainwater harvesting and utilization storage tank for green buildings to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] As man-made structures, houses serve to shelter from wind and rain. In areas with heavy rainfall and long rain cycles, much rainwater falls directly from roofs and walls to the ground and is then discharged through sewers. This increases the burden on urban drainage systems, and most rainwater seeps into the ground, making it impossible to recycle and resulting in a significant waste of water resources. This invention provides a green building rainwater collection and storage tank to collect and store rainwater, allowing it to be used elsewhere. By starting motor 23, the motor drives rotating rod 10, which in turn drives first bevel gear 20, which in turn drives second bevel gear 21, causing connecting rod 17 to rotate. This, in turn, drives auger 11 to clean out impurities settled in sedimentation tank 6. Furthermore, the rotation of connecting rod 17 drives scraper 18, which cleans impurities filtered by filter cover 16 from its inner wall, allowing them to be discharged through a drain pipe.
[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a green building rainwater harvesting and utilization storage tank, including a building 1, a sedimentation tank 6 and a filter tank 12 installed on one side of the building 1, a conveying pipe 7 fixedly connected between the sedimentation tank 6 and the filter tank 12, a static filter screen 9 installed inside the sedimentation tank 6, a rotating rod 10 rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two ends of the sedimentation tank 6, an auger 11 fixed to the outer wall of the rotating rod 10, a filter cover 16 fixed inside the filter tank 12, a connecting rod 17 rotatably connected inside the filter tank 12, a scraper 18 fixed to the outer wall of the connecting rod 17, and the scraper 18 contacting the inner wall of the filter cover 16. A mounting bracket 19 is installed on one side of building 1, and a mounting bracket 22 is fixed inside the mounting bracket 19. One end of the rotating rod 10 passes through the sedimentation tank 6 and a first bevel gear 20 is fixed to its outer wall. The connecting rod 17 passes through the filter box 12 and the mounting bracket 19 and a second bevel gear 21 is fixed to its outer wall. The first bevel gear 20 and the second bevel gear 21 mesh with each other. A motor 23 is fixed to one end of the mounting bracket 22, and the output end of the motor 23 passes through the mounting bracket 22 and is fixed to the rotating rod 10. A door 8 is installed at one end of the sedimentation tank 6, and a sludge discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the filter cover 16, which passes through the filter box 12.
[0022] It should be noted that by starting the motor 23, the motor 23 drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate, the rotating rod 10 drives the first bevel gear 20 to rotate, the first bevel gear 20 drives the second bevel gear 21 to rotate, causing the connecting rod 17 to rotate. In this way, the rotating rod 10 drives the auger 11 to rotate, cleaning out the impurities settled in the sedimentation tank 6. At the same time, the rotation of the connecting rod 17 drives the scraper 18 to rotate, so that the scraper 18 cleans the impurities filtered by the filter cover 16 from the inner wall of the filter cover 16, which can be discharged through the sewage outlet pipe later.
[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, a storage tank 14 is installed on one side of building 1. A drain pipe 13 is fixedly connected between the filter tank 12 and the storage tank 14. A drain pipe 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the storage tank 14. A roof 2 is installed at the top of building 1. Water collection tanks 3 are installed on both sides of the roof 2. Multiple collection branch pipes 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water collection tanks 3. A main collection pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the sedimentation tank 6. The main collection pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the multiple collection branch pipes 5. Valves are installed on both the drain pipe 13 and the drain pipe 15.
[0024] It should be noted that storage tank 14 is used to store filtered water. The water in storage tank 14 can be used for irrigation and other purposes, thus making good use of rainwater. In addition, a liquid level sensor is installed in storage tank 14. The liquid level sensor can detect the liquid level in real time and transmit the information to the control system. The liquid level sensor is set with high and low liquid level alarm thresholds. If the liquid level exceeds the set range, the sensor will trigger an alarm to remind the staff to deal with it in time. This prevents liquid from overflowing or the liquid level from being too low, and reminds the staff of the water level in storage tank 14. The control method of the electrical components in this solution is controlled by its matching peripheral controller. The control circuit can be implemented by those skilled in the art with simple programming. It is common knowledge in the field. It is used without modification. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended embodiments and their equivalents.
