[0032] Embodiment 1
[0033] As Figures 1-4 shown, the embodiment provides a rainwater grate and sediment interceptor based on a self-gravity flap door assembly, which comprises an interception main body 1, a rainwater grate 2, a self-gravity flap door assembly, a filter assembly 4 and a drainage pipeline, the interception main body 1 is a frame structure with an inner cavity, one side of the top is provided with an inlet, the bottom is connected with the drainage pipeline, the filter assembly 4 is installed in the middle of the inner side of the interception main body 1.
[0034] The rainwater grate 2 is installed at the inlet of the interception main body 1, the rainwater grate 2 comprises a grate frame 201 and a grid 202, one side of the grate frame 201 is installed with the grid 202, and the other side is communicated with the inlet of the interception main body 1, the self-gravity flap door assembly comprises a flap door plate 3, the flap door plate 3 is located on the inner side of the grate frame 201, and the top is rotatably connected with the grate frame 201, and the flap door plate 3 covers one side of the grid 202 from top to bottom.
[0035] Optionally, the top of the flap door plate 3 is rotatably connected with the grate frame 201 through a hinge, and naturally droops by relying on the self-weight, so as to separate the inner side space of the grid 202 and the grate frame 201.
[0036] The present scheme is a partial structure improvement on the basis of the existing vertical rainwater grate. A flap door plate is added to the inner side of the rainwater grate, and the rainwater grate and the flap door plate are connected by a hinge. During the non-rainy season, the flap door plate naturally droops by its own weight, forming an effective barrier that can significantly block the dust and sand at the bottom of the roadside ditch from entering the rainwater inlet. This innovative design not only effectively solves the problem of frequent dredging of rainwater pipelines due to dust and sand deposition, but also prevents dust and sand from accidentally entering the rainwater inlet during sanitation cleaning operations, thereby greatly alleviating the dust and sand pollution problem caused by the existing rainwater inlet design, improving the operation efficiency and stability of the urban drainage system, and providing strong support for the sustainable development of urban environment.
[0037] Preferably, the bottom of the flap door plate 3 is provided with a detachable counterweight (weight range 0.5-1.5 kg) for adapting the closing stability under different wind conditions. The closing gap between the flap door plate 3 and the grid 202 can be adjusted to be ≤0.5 mm by adjusting the counterweight.
[0038] Preferably, the contact area between the flap door plate 3 and the grate frame 201 is provided with a rubber pad, and the corresponding area of the grate frame 201 is provided with a groove for installing the rubber pad.
[0039] The rubber pad has good flexibility and sealing performance.

A groove is provided at the edge of the frame, and when installed, the rubber pad is embedded in the groove to further fix the position of the rubber pad and prevent it from shifting. In this way, when the flap door is closed, the rubber pad can fill the tiny gap between the flap door and the frame, forming an effective sealing barrier to prevent sewage leakage and prevent odor emission, thereby improving the overall sealing performance of the drainage system.
[0040] Optionally, the filter assembly 4 includes coarse filter screen 401, medium filter screen 402 and fine filter screen 403 distributed in sequence from top to bottom.

[0041] That is, the above-mentioned filtering assembly 4 adopts a three-stage gradient interception technology and is integrated in the interception main body. The outermost layer is a coarse filter screen fixed at the inlet through a sliding rail type clamping groove, which can intercept large-particle impurities (particle size > 5 mm) such as small stones and leaves, and the impact load resistance of the corrugated structure is ≥800N; the middle layer is a middle filter screen fixed by an L-shaped bolt support, which supports a ±3° angle fine adjustment and effectively blocks silt particles with a particle size >1mm; the innermost layer is a fine filter screen fixed by quick-release buckles and magnetic sealing, which is installed at an inclination of 30° and coated with a hydrophobic coating (contact angle ≥115°), and can intercept fine sand with a particle size ≥0.1mm. The three layers of filter screens are designed as a modular and detachable structure: the coarse filter screen top pull ring supports 1.5 seconds of quick pulling; the middle filter screen butterfly nut realizes tool-free disassembly; the fine filter screen can be unlocked by pressing the buckle and cleared by reverse flushing (water pressure ≥0.4MPa).
[0042] Optionally, the rainwater grate 2 further comprises a fixed step block 203 located outside the grate frame 201 and below the grid 202; the fixed step block 203 is used to assist in stably installing the rainwater grate 2 on the ground surface.
[0043] Specifically, the grid 202 comprises a plurality of grid bars, each of which is vertically arranged on one side of the grate frame 201. These grid bars are vertically arranged and closely fitted under the action of gravity. When the road surface has sand and other impurities flowing towards the rainwater grate with water, the vertical grid bars can intercept the sand and stones outside the rainwater grate like a fence, effectively preventing sand and stones from entering the drainage pipeline and causing blockage.
[0044] Optionally, the flap door plate 3 is made of stainless steel.
[0045] The interception main body 1 is made of engineering plastic or stainless steel.

[0048] The flap door plate 3 is a 304 stainless steel plate with a thickness of 3mm, which is connected to the frame through a hinge shaft, and is closed under the action of gravity in normal state, with a closed gap ≤0.5mm.
[0049] The bottom of the flap door plate 3 is provided with a detachable counterweight block (weight range 0.5-1.5kg) for adapting to the closing stability under different wind conditions.
[0050] The surface of the frame is treated with epoxy resin anticorrosion, and the salt mist resistance test is ≥1000 hours.
[0051] The installation steps of the above scheme in use are as follows:
[0052] Embed vertical frame at road curbstone as intercepting body 1, adjust horizontal error ≤2mm;
[0053] Install flap door plate 3, adjust counterweight to close gap ≤0.5mm (use plug gauge to detect);
[0054] Embed filter assembly 4, connect drainage pipe to municipal pipe network.
[0055] Operation mode
[0056] No rain state: flap door plate 3 is completely closed, and sand and odor are isolated by sealing strip, and the actual measured sand invasion amount is reduced by ≥90%;
[0057] Light rain state (rainfall intensity ≤10mm / h): flap door plate 3 is partially opened (angle 15°), filter assembly 4 intercepts sand particles with a particle size of ≥0.5mm, and the drainage efficiency is ≥85%;
[0058] Heavy rain state (rainfall intensity ≥30mm / h): flap door plate 3 is fully opened (angle 75°), the maximum flow rate is 60L / s, and the self-cleaning frequency of filter assembly 4 is improved.
[0059] The above describes the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes without creative labor according to the concept of the present application. Therefore, any technical solution obtained by logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiment on the basis of the existing technology according to the concept of the present application shall be within the protection scope defined by the claims.
