Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of urban municipal engineering construction technology, and more specifically to an urban rainwater collection and reuse device. Background Technology

[0002] Urban rainwater harvesting and utilization has always been a key focus of urban construction. Urban rainwater harvesting and utilization refers to the collection and utilization of rainwater runoff collected from building rooftops and hardened surfaces such as roads and squares. This runoff is then collected, transported, purified, and stored through various channels. The rainwater is used for greening, landscaping water features, washing, and replenishing groundwater sources, aiming to achieve comprehensive utilization of rainwater resources and water conservation. Therefore, collection and reuse devices are necessary in urban rainwater harvesting. Existing collection and reuse devices have simple structures and relatively limited functions. In actual use, rainwater is usually collected in collection tanks and filtered before storage and utilization. However, the collected rainwater typically contains a large amount of impurities, and the filters are prone to clogging after prolonged use, leading to filtration failure. Furthermore, the filtered impurities cannot be automatically collected, thus reducing the efficiency of the collection and reuse device and affecting the quality of urban construction, becoming a problem that many urban municipal projects urgently need to solve. To address these issues, we propose an urban rainwater harvesting and reuse device. This device uses a multi-layer filtration system in the collection pool to filter the collected rainwater, removing most impurities. This allows the filtered rainwater to be reused for greening, landscape water features, washing, and groundwater sources, thereby improving the quality of urban infrastructure construction.

[0003] To better collect and reuse urban rainwater, the China Patent Network, Publication No. CN116623746A, discloses a recycling device for urban rainwater collection. This invention includes a water storage tank. Magnetic suction devices are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the tank near the center via bolts. Filter devices are welded to the bottom of the inner cavity of the tank near the front and back. Flow holes are drilled on both sides of the outer surface of the tank near the center and bottom, and these flow holes are connected to the inner cavity of the tank. The invention allows water to flow through an outlet hole to the flow holes located on the upper part of the outer surface of the tank. The flow holes near the center and bottom of the outer surface of the tank are connected by pipes. Rainwater can enter the interior of the tank through the flow holes and come into contact with the filter devices. With the travel plate in its initial position and the filter screen corresponding to the filter holes, the rainwater is filtered as it passes through the filter device, thus removing impurities from the water.

[0004] The solution still has some shortcomings in its application. Due to the diverse composition of impurities in urban rainwater, including various impurities, multiple treatments are required to purify the rainwater, otherwise it will affect its reuse. At the same time, the maintenance of the equipment needs to be considered, and it needs to be easy for sanitation workers to maintain. Therefore, the urban rainwater collection and reuse device needs to be improved so that it can better collect rainwater and remove impurities, while also being easy for sanitation workers to operate. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model discloses an urban rainwater collection and reuse device, the main purpose of which is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies and shortcomings of the existing technology.

Next, the rainwater undergoes initial sedimentation filtration in a first treatment tank before entering a second treatment tank. This second treatment tank can accommodate dissolving agents and has a rotating device at the bottom. This device dissolves algae and impurities, while the rotating device's scraping blades scrape the inner wall of the second treatment tank to prevent algae and impurities from adhering.

[0026] [Example]

[0027] First, urban rainwater is collected through rainwater collection channel 1. During collection, it undergoes initial filtration through a removable filter screen 14 in the middle of rainwater collection channel 1, removing some leaves and larger impurities. The rainwater, carrying some smaller impurities and soil, enters the first treatment tank 2, where it undergoes initial sedimentation and purification. The purified rainwater then enters the second treatment tank 3 through the second outlet 22. When the rainfall volume is large, excess rainwater flows out through the overflow outlet 21. Next, a dissolving agent is periodically introduced from the chemical inlet tank 52 and enters through the chemical inlet pipe 51. The rainwater is introduced into the second treatment tank 3, and the rotating motor 61 is started at the same time. The rotating rod 62 stirs the rainwater to facilitate the dissolution of the chemical agent to remove algae and impurities. At the same time, the wall scraping blade 63 at the end of the rotating rod 62 continuously scrapes and washes the inner wall of the second treatment tank 3 to prevent algae and impurities from adhering. Then, after being de-algaed and decontaminated, the rainwater enters the third treatment tank 4. Some small impurities and impurities settle onto the adsorption cotton layer 10 at the bottom of the third treatment tank 4. Finally, the rainwater, after multiple filtrations, is pumped upwards through the water pump 7 and water pipe 8 for reuse.

[0028] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0029] This invention first uses a detachable filter screen installed in the middle of the rainwater collection channel to perform initial filtration of rainwater, filtering out leaves and large impurities to prevent them from affecting subsequent rainwater filtration. Next, the rainwater undergoes initial sedimentation filtration in a first treatment tank before entering a second treatment tank. This second treatment tank can accommodate dissolving agents and has a rotating device at the bottom. This device dissolves algae and impurities, while the rotating device's scraping blades scrape the inner wall of the second treatment tank to prevent algae and impurities from adhering. Finally, the rainwater enters a third treatment tank, where it undergoes further sedimentation filtration through an absorbent cotton layer at the bottom, and is then pumped out for reuse. This invention features a novel structure, ingenious design, and strong practicality, effectively collecting, filtering, and reusing urban rainwater, improving the quality of urban infrastructure construction, and is suitable for widespread application.
