The flow guide pipeline 7 is provided with a flow regulating valve 8. The smooth flow of rainwater can be ensured by the inclination angle of the flow guide pipeline 7. The flow of rainwater can be controlled by the flow regulating valve 8 according to the real-time rainfall and the system carrying capacity.
[0039] The storage system adopts a closed water storage tank 10. The water storage tank 10 is made of special materials with high strength and corrosion resistance to ensure safety and stability during long-term use. The water storage tank 10 is seamlessly connected to the outlet of the purification system for storing high-quality purified rainwater. A high-precision liquid level sensor is installed inside the water storage tank 10 to monitor the water level in the tank in real time and accurately, and quickly transmit the water level signal to the relevant control module. When the water level reaches the preset upper limit, the control mechanism is automatically triggered to close the flow regulating valve 8 of the rainwater collection port 1 to stop rainwater collection. When the water level drops to the preset lower limit, the system immediately sends an alarm to remind the user to take measures such as supplementing water sources or reasonably allocating water use.
[0040] The recycling system includes two parallelly arranged water outlet pipelines 9, which are a toilet flushing water pipe and an irrigation water pipe respectively. A water quality monitor 2 and an electric flow control valve 3 are arranged in sequence on the water outlet pipeline 9. The two water outlet pipelines 9 correspond to different water terminal ends. One is used to connect the toilet flushing pipeline in the building and is used for toilet flushing water, and the other is used to connect the outdoor irrigation system to meet the needs of plant irrigation. The water quality is detected in real time by the water quality monitor 2, and the electric flow control valve 3 can adjust the water output according to the actual water demand to realize the rational use of water resources.
[0041] When installing the equipment, the collection system should carefully select the installation location of the rainwater collection port according to the actual layout of the building and the surrounding terrain. It can be installed on the roof, ensuring that it is located at the lowest point of the roof where rainwater converges, and is fixed by a firm installation assembly to resist the influence of strong winds and other bad weather. It can also be installed on the ground, selecting an area with low terrain where rainwater is easy to converge, and setting up comprehensive protection facilities to prevent debris from entering the rainwater collection port.
[0042] Install the flow guide pipe, with one end tightly and sealingly connected to the rainwater collection port, and the other end connected to the water inlet of the sedimentation and filtration tank at a precisely calculated inclination angle.
[0043] According to the purification process, install the sedimentation and filtration tank, activated carbon adsorption tank, and ultraviolet disinfection device in sequence. Connect the devices with special pipes, seal the connections with high-performance sealant to prevent water leakage. When installing the storage tank, choose a solid and flat ground, use a stable support structure to ensure smooth installation of the tank, and precisely connect and seal the water outlet of the ultraviolet disinfection device with the water inlet of the storage tank.
[0044] Connect the water outlet pipes of the recycling system to the toilet flushing pipeline and irrigation system, and other water-using equipment. At each water outlet, install a water quality monitor and a flow control valve.
[0045] The equipment operation steps are as follows:
[0046] When it rains, rainwater enters the flow guide pipe through the rainwater collection port. The coarse filter quickly intercepts large impurities, and the flow regulating valve flexibly adjusts the rainwater flow according to relevant control instructions, guiding the rainwater into the sedimentation and filtration tank.
[0047] In the sedimentation and filtration tank, rainwater is filtered through multiple layers of filter screens with different pore sizes, and fully settles in the sedimentation area. After preliminary purification, it flows into the activated carbon adsorption tank. Activated carbon plays an adsorption role, removing odors, pigments, and some heavy metal ions from rainwater.
[0048] Rainwater that has passed through activated carbon adsorption enters the ultraviolet disinfection device, where it is subjected to ultraviolet irradiation for sterilization and disinfection. Then, the purified rainwater flows into the storage tank.
[0049] The liquid level sensor monitors the water level in the storage tank in real time and quickly transmits the water level signal to the relevant control unit. When the water level reaches the upper limit, the automatic control mechanism starts, closing the flow regulating valve and stopping rainwater collection. When the water level drops to the lower limit, the system immediately sends an alarm.
[0050] When the recycling system is working, the water quality monitor detects the water quality of the outlet in real time, and the flow control valve adjusts the water output accurately according to the actual water demand; when used for flushing the toilet, the user presses the toilet flushing button, the corresponding control signal triggers the opening of the flow control valve of the outlet, and the purified rainwater flows into the toilet flushing pipeline to perform the toilet flushing operation; when used for irrigation, the flow control valve of the irrigation outlet can be automatically controlled to open and close according to the preset irrigation time or the feedback signal of the soil humidity sensor, so that intelligent automatic irrigation is realized.
[0051] In summary, the device can efficiently collect rainwater, purify the rainwater to meet the water quality standards of various harsh use scenarios by virtue of the unique purification system, and has the advantages of compact structure, small occupied space, simple installation and maintenance, etc.
[0052] The above-described embodiments only express certain implementation manners of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the utility model; it should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, some modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model; therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent should be subject to the appended claims.
