Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater and flood resource utilization technology, and specifically discloses a novel rainwater and flood resource utilization device. Background Technology

[0002] Rainwater resources, simply put, refer to the portion of surface runoff generated by rainfall that exceeds the daily water cycle balance, accumulates under specific temporal and spatial conditions, and may cause flood disasters. Traditionally, torrential rains and floods are often considered natural disasters that threaten human life and the natural environment. However, with advancements in water resource management concepts and the development of hydrological technologies, people have begun to realize that rainwater resources are actually a valuable and exploitable natural resource, especially given the increasing scarcity of water resources, making their rational development and utilization particularly important.

[0003] Currently, rainwater harvesting facilities typically employ gravity-guided water storage structures. Their basic components include: a sunken inlet located on the surface, a water delivery pipeline connected to the inlet, and an underground storage tank. Surface runoff, under the influence of gravity, flows through the inlet into the pipeline, and the pipeline's end is connected to the storage tank's inlet via a flange, thus collecting and storing rainwater.

[0004] Existing technologies often use filter plates to intercept debris, but during use, dirt accumulates on the filter plates, causing a gradual decrease in water flow efficiency and affecting rainwater collection. Furthermore, these devices rely on terrain slope to maintain water flow, which can lead to water loss in flat areas. Moreover, they cannot collect excess rainwater during heavy rainfall. Therefore, a new type of rainwater harvesting device is needed to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention proposes a novel rainwater resource utilization device that avoids clogging of the filter plate by dirt, thus preventing any impact on the collection effect. It also does not rely on the terrain slope, preventing water loss. Furthermore, by using a main tank and an auxiliary tank in combination, it can cope with the characteristics of excessive rainwater.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 A novel rainwater resource utilization device includes a seepage-proof plate 1, a rectangular water-blocking frame 2 installed on the upper end of the seepage-proof plate 1, a main tank 3 passing through the upper end of the seepage-proof plate 1, a filter plate 4 installed inside the main tank 3, and the upper ends of the seepage-proof plate 1, the upper ends of the main tank 3, and the upper ends of the filter plate 4 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0027] A flat plate 5 is provided above the filter plate 4. A movable plate 6 is slidably connected to the lower end of the flat plate 5 through a sliding groove and a slider. A connecting seat 7 is installed at the lower end of the movable plate 6. A scraper 8 that fits against the upper end of the filter plate 4 is installed at the lower end of the connecting seat 7. A driving mechanism is provided on the lower side of the flat plate 5.

[0028] An auxiliary tank 14 located to the right of the main tank 3 is provided through the outer wall of the anti-seepage plate 1. A water pipe 15 is connected between the main tank 3 and the auxiliary tank 14. A first semi-circular plate 16 is installed on the right side of the upper end of the auxiliary tank 14, and a second semi-circular plate 17 is provided on the left end of the first semi-circular plate 16.

[0029] In this embodiment: During use, rainwater falls on the upper end of the impermeable plate 1 and forms a barrier through the rectangular water-blocking frame 2 to prevent water from flowing out from the upper end of the impermeable plate 1. The flush design of the main tank 3 with the impermeable plate 1 ensures that the water flows to the inlet at the upper end of the main tank 3 and is collected through the main tank 3. In this way, the purpose of preventing water loss is achieved without relying on the terrain slope.

[0030] Due to the setting of the filter plate 4, impurities in the water flow will be isolated to the top of the filter plate 4. Then, the driving mechanism will drive the moving plate 6 and the connecting seat 7 to move forward and backward along the slide groove, so that the scraper 8 moves back and forth in close contact with the surface of the filter plate 4. This will push the impurities to the front and back sides of the filter plate 4. In this way, the dirt will be prevented from clogging the filter plate 4, thereby avoiding the impact on the collection effect.

[0031] Since the water pipe 15 connects the bottom of the main tank 3 and the auxiliary tank 14, when water flows into the main tank 3, it will also enter the auxiliary tank 14. Through the coordinated operation of the main tank 3 and the auxiliary tank 14, the purpose of dealing with excessive rainwater can be achieved. At the same time, with the cooperation of the first semicircular plate 16 and the second semicircular plate 17, impurities can be prevented from entering the auxiliary tank 14.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes two end plates 9 installed at the lower end of the flat plate 5, which are distributed front and rear. A lead screw 10 is rotatably connected between the two end plates 9, passing through the moving plate 6 and threadedly connected to the moving plate 6. A stepper motor 11 with its output end fixedly connected to the lead screw 10 is installed on the outer wall of one of the end plates 9.

[0033] In this embodiment: the stepper motor 11 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, and then drives the moving plate 6 to slide laterally along the slide groove through the threaded transmission.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a water pump 19 is installed at the lower end of the first semicircular plate 16, a water pump 20 extending to the bottom of the auxiliary tank 14 is installed at the water inlet end of the water pump 19, and a connecting pipe 21 penetrating the first semicircular plate 16 is installed at the water outlet end of the water pump 19.

[0035] In this embodiment: the water pump 19 pumps the water stored at the bottom of the auxiliary tank 14 into the connecting pipe 21 through the water pumping pipe 20. The water inside the connecting pipe 21 will flow into the pipe connected by the connecting pipe 21, thereby facilitating the use of water.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an arc-shaped positioning plate 18 that fits against the inner wall of the auxiliary tank 14 is installed at the lower end of the second semicircular plate 17.

[0037] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped positioning plate 18 fits against the inner wall of the auxiliary tank 14 and works in conjunction with the first semi-circular plate 16 to prevent the arc-shaped positioning plate 18 from moving horizontally.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a protective box 12 located outside the stepper motor 11 is installed on the outer wall of one of the end plates 9.

[0039] In this embodiment: the protective box 12 encloses the stepper motor 11 and adopts a waterproof and dustproof design to isolate it from the influence of external environment such as rainwater and mud.

[0040] As a technical optimization of this utility model, multiple support rods 13 are installed on both the left and right sides of the lower end face of the flat plate 5, and the other end of the multiple support rods 13 is fixedly connected to the impermeable plate 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, multiple support rods 13 are provided to support and fix the plate 5.

[0042] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the second semicircular plate 17 is attached to the opposite side of the first semicircular plate 16.

[0043] In this embodiment, the second semicircular plate 17 is attached to the opposite side of the first semicircular plate 16, thereby further preventing impurities from passing between the second semicircular plate 17 and the first semicircular plate 16.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, rainwater will fall on the upper end of the impermeable plate 1 and form a barrier through the rectangular water-blocking frame 2 to prevent water from flowing out from the upper end of the impermeable plate 1. The design of the main tank 3 being flush with the impermeable plate 1 ensures that the water flow is concentrated towards the inlet at the upper end of the main tank 3 and is collected through the main tank 3. In this way, the purpose of preventing water loss is achieved without relying on the terrain slope.

[0045] Due to the arrangement of the filter plate 4, impurities in the water flow are isolated to the top of the filter plate 4. Then, the stepper motor 11 starts according to a preset cycle, driving the lead screw 10 to rotate forward and reverse according to the cycle. The lead screw 10 drives the moving plate 6 and the connecting seat 7 to move forward and backward along the slide groove, so that the scraper 8 moves back and forth in close contact with the surface of the filter plate 4. This pushes the impurities to the front and back sides of the filter plate 4. In this way, the dirt is prevented from clogging the filter plate 4, thereby avoiding the impact on the collection effect.

[0046] Since the water pipe 15 connects the bottom of the main tank 3 and the auxiliary tank 14, when water flows into the main tank 3, it will also enter the auxiliary tank 14. Through the coordinated operation of the main tank 3 and the auxiliary tank 14, it can cope with excessive rainwater. At the same time, with the cooperation of the first semicircular plate 16 and the second semicircular plate 17, it can prevent impurities from entering the auxiliary tank 14.

[0047] The water pump 19 pumps water stored at the bottom of the auxiliary tank 14 into the connecting pipe 21 through the water pumping pipe 20. The water inside the connecting pipe 21 will flow into the pipe connected by the connecting pipe 21, thus facilitating water access.

[0049] However, the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, any substitution of equivalent components or equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of protection of this utility model should still fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
