Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rainwater treatment equipment, specifically to a rainwater collection and filtration device for courtyards. Background Technology
[0002] With population growth and the rapid expansion of industrial and agricultural production, water scarcity is becoming increasingly severe. Furthermore, heavy or continuous rainfall exceeding drainage capacity can lead to flooding disasters, such as severe urban waterlogging. Therefore, rainwater harvesting and utilization has gradually become a focus of attention.
[0003] To achieve rainwater harvesting, existing technology has proposed a device suitable for rainwater harvesting, as detailed in Chinese patent document CN105971058A, published on September 28, 2016, entitled "A Rainwater Collection, Storage and Filtration Device." This device includes a vertical cylindrical body with a horizontal outlet at the bottom. Inside the cylinder is a filter screen with a diameter equal to the inner diameter of the cylinder. The filter screen is positioned below or above the height of the cylinder, with its lower end covering the outlet. Rainwater is filtered through the filter screen within the vertical cylinder. The multi-layered filter structure with different pore sizes first intercepts larger impurities, then filters smaller particles, ensuring the quality of the collected rainwater. A handle and slide rail designed for the filter screen facilitate its removal for cleaning. However, during the use of this technology, all impurities remain on the filter cylinder, which can easily affect the flow rate of rainwater and result in low rainwater collection efficiency. In order not to affect the flow rate of rainwater, the filter cylinder needs to be cleaned frequently, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical objective of this invention is to provide a rainwater harvesting and filtration device for courtyards with high rainwater harvesting and filtration efficiency, addressing the shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A rainwater collection and filtration device for a courtyard includes a PVC base pipe, the PVC base pipe having a water inlet end, a sediment end and a drain end, the drain end being located between the water inlet end and the sediment end;
[0007] The PVC base pipe is equipped with a ring-shaped filter element, with its two axial ends facing the water inlet and the sediment end, respectively, and the filter element covering the drain end.
[0008] In the above technical measures, rainwater enters the PVC base pipe through the inlet end. Some rainwater flows towards the outlet end, where impurities are intercepted by the filter element. The filtered rainwater is then discharged through the outlet end. Some rainwater flows towards the sediment end, where it is retained. Impurities in the rainwater settle to the bottom of the sediment end due to gravity, achieving initial filtration. As the amount of rainwater in the sediment end increases, some rainwater comes into contact with the filter element for secondary filtration. When the level of the retained rainwater reaches the outlet end, the secondary filtered rainwater is discharged through the outlet end.
[0009] In the above-mentioned technical measures, when rainwater enters the PVC base pipe, the annular filter element provides a flow channel for the rainwater, which helps to ensure the flow speed of the rainwater and improve the efficiency of rainwater collection and filtration. By covering the drainage end with the filter element, it can be ensured that the water discharged from the drainage end is filtered by the filter element, which helps to ensure the quality of the water discharged from the drainage end.
[0010] Furthermore, the PVC base pipe has a first straight pipe section, a first reducing pipe section, a tee pipe section, a second reducing pipe section, and a second straight pipe section that are detachably connected in sequence.
[0011] The tee section has a third straight pipe section and a fourth straight pipe section with a T-fit. The two axial ends of the third straight pipe section are connected to the first straight pipe section and the second straight pipe section respectively through the first reducing pipe section and the second reducing pipe section. The fourth straight pipe section is used for drainage.
[0012] The diameter of the third straight pipe section is greater than the diameters of the first straight pipe section and the second straight pipe section.
[0013] The PVC base pipe described above has a first straight pipe section, a first reducing pipe section, a tee pipe section, a second reducing pipe section, and a second straight pipe section that are detachably connected in sequence. The structure is simple, easy to form, and facilitates the disassembly and assembly of each component. By setting the first and second reducing pipe sections, the filter element can be limited, ensuring the filtration effect of the filter element while making the disassembly and assembly of the filter element convenient. Moreover, the filter element can be limited without relying on external fixing devices, which helps to reduce costs and avoid damage to the filter element caused by external fixing devices during use, thus extending the service life of the filter element.
[0014] Furthermore, the connections between the first reducing pipe section and the first straight pipe section and the third straight pipe section are all sealed with PVC glue.
[0015] Furthermore, the connections between the second reducing pipe section and the third straight pipe section, as well as the second straight pipe section, are all sealed with PVC glue.
[0016] In the above technical measures, the connections between the first reducing pipe section and the first straight pipe section and the third straight pipe section, as well as the connections between the second reducing pipe section and the third straight pipe section and the second straight pipe section, are all sealed with PVC glue. Using PVC glue to seal each connection not only ensures the sealing performance of each connection but also helps to reduce costs. The PVC glue can prevent water leakage at each connection, ensure the stability of the rainwater collection and filtration device, and improve work efficiency.
[0017] Furthermore, the end of the second straight pipe section away from the second reducing pipe section is provided with a detachable sealing cap.
[0018] In the above-mentioned technical measures, the end of the second straight pipe section away from the second reducing pipe section is provided with a detachable sealing cap, which makes it easy to open the sealing cap to clean the impurities in the second straight pipe section, thus improving convenience.
[0019] Furthermore, the end of the first straight pipe section away from the first reducing pipe section is detachably connected to a guide pipe section that bends and engages with the first straight pipe section. The guide pipe section is used to direct rainwater to the first straight pipe section.
[0020] The above-mentioned technical measures, by setting up guiding pipe sections, enable the rainwater collection and filtration device to adapt to different environmental conditions, which helps to improve flexibility.
[0021] Furthermore, the filter element has a multi-layer structure, including a coarse filter layer and a fine filter layer arranged sequentially from the inside out.
[0022] The above-mentioned technical measures, by setting up a multi-layered filter element, can effectively enhance the filtration capacity of the filter element and ensure the quality of the discharged water.
[0023] Furthermore, the coarse filter layer is a spinneret structure made of HDPE.
[0024] In the above technical measures, the coarse filter layer is a spinneret structure made of HDPE, which can effectively filter impurities in rainwater and at the same time give the coarse filter layer good performance, which is conducive to extending the service life of the coarse filter layer.
[0025] Furthermore, the fine filter layer is a filter cloth covering the outside of the coarse filter layer, and the pore size of the fine filter layer is smaller than that of the coarse filter layer.
[0026] In the above technical measures, the fine filter layer is a filter cloth covering the outside of the coarse filter layer. The pore size of the fine filter layer is smaller than that of the coarse filter layer. Larger impurities are filtered by the coarse filter layer, and smaller impurities are filtered by the fine filter layer. This can improve the filtration accuracy and filtration efficiency, while also reducing the burden on the fine filter layer and extending its service life.
[0027] Furthermore, the filter element is a PVC pipe with multiple through holes along the circumferential direction.
[0028] In the above technical measures, the filter element is a PVC pipe with multiple through holes along the circumference, which is easy to process and helps to save costs while meeting structural strength and ensuring filtration effect.
[0029] One or more technical solutions provided by this utility model have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0030] In this invention, rainwater enters the PVC base pipe through the inlet end. Some rainwater flows towards the outlet end, where impurities are intercepted by the filter element. The filtered rainwater is then discharged through the outlet end. Other rainwater flows towards the sediment end, where it is retained. Impurities in the rainwater settle to the bottom of the sediment end due to gravity, achieving initial filtration. As the amount of rainwater in the sediment end increases, some rainwater comes into contact with the filter element for secondary filtration. When the level of the retained rainwater reaches the outlet end, the secondary filtered rainwater is discharged through the outlet end.
[0031] In this invention, when rainwater enters the PVC base pipe, the annular filter element provides a flow channel for the rainwater, which helps to ensure the flow speed of the rainwater and improve the efficiency of rainwater collection and filtration. By covering the drain end with the filter element, it can be ensured that all water discharged from the drain end is filtered by the filter element, which helps to ensure the quality of the water discharged from the drain end.

[0043] The tee section 10 has a third straight pipe section 3 and a fourth straight pipe section 4 with a T-fit. The two ends of the third straight pipe section 3 are connected to the first straight pipe section 1 and the second straight pipe section 7 respectively through the first reducing pipe section 2 and the second reducing pipe section 6. The fourth straight pipe section 4 is used for drainage.
[0044] The diameter of the third straight pipe section 3 is greater than the diameters of the first straight pipe section 1 and the second straight pipe section 7.
[0045] The connections between the first reducing pipe section 2 and the first straight pipe section 1 and the third straight pipe section 3 are all sealed with PVC glue.
[0046] The connections between the second reducing pipe section 6 and the third straight pipe section 3 and the second straight pipe section 7 are all sealed with PVC glue.
[0047] The second straight pipe section 7 is provided with a detachable sealing cap 8 at the end away from the second reducing pipe section 6.
[0048] The sealing cap 8 is detachably connected to the second straight pipe section 7 via threads.

Rainwater is collected by connecting a water storage device to the outside of the fourth pipe section 4. Depending on actual usage needs, the water storage device can be a farmland water storage system and / or a water cellar.
