Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building components technology, and in particular to a structure for collecting and reusing rainwater for energy conservation in buildings. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of building energy conservation, rainwater harvesting and reuse is of great significance for saving water resources and reducing building operating costs. However, existing building rainwater harvesting systems have many drawbacks. Traditional collection devices often lack effective means of filtering impurities in the initial rainwater runoff, allowing larger particles such as leaves and gravel to easily enter the collection system, clogging pipes and affecting the subsequent purification and utilization of rainwater.
[0003] Common rainwater harvesting structures have relatively simple drainage designs, making it difficult to flexibly adjust drainage paths according to different scenarios and meet diverse water demand. In terms of cleaning and maintenance, previous designs did not fully consider convenience, making the work of cleaning impurities and maintaining equipment cumbersome and complicated, consuming a lot of manpower and resources. These problems seriously restrict the efficient operation and widespread promotion of building rainwater harvesting and secondary utilization systems. Utility Model Content

[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0013] This utility model provides a structure for collecting and reusing rainwater for energy-saving buildings, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The building's energy-saving rainwater collection and reuse structure features a grid plate snapped onto the top of the collection box. This effectively intercepts larger debris such as leaves and branches when rainwater enters the collection box, preventing them from entering subsequent pipes and devices, reducing the risk of blockage, and improving the operational stability of the entire collection system. At the same time, the filter screen embedded in the inner wall of the circular pipe further filters out fine particles in the rainwater, improving the cleanliness of the rainwater and providing a higher quality water source for reuse.
[0015] 2. The building's energy-saving rainwater collection and secondary utilization structure features a drain outlet fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the collection box, along with a snap-fit drain pipe. This facilitates the regular discharge of sediment, dirt, and other impurities from the bottom of the collection box, keeping the inside of the collection box clean and ensuring the quality of rainwater collection. The drain pipe is designed with three sections connected by threads, allowing for easy adjustment of the drain pipe length according to the actual installation scenario and drainage needs. The auxiliary drain pipe enables rainwater diversion and discharge, preventing bottom blockage that could prevent rainwater from draining. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a secondary utilization structure for rainwater collection in building energy conservation, including a collection box 1. A grid plate 2 is snapped onto the top of the collection box 1. The grid plate 2 effectively intercepts larger debris such as leaves and branches when rainwater enters the collection box 1, preventing them from entering subsequent pipes and devices, reducing the risk of blockage, and improving the operational stability of the entire collection system. A drain outlet 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the collection box 1, and a drain pipe 4 is snapped onto the edge of the drain outlet 3. The drain outlet 3 and the drain pipe 4 fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the collection box 1 facilitate the periodic discharge of sediment, dirt, and other impurities at the bottom of the collection box 1, keeping the inside of the collection box 1 clean and ensuring the quality of rainwater collection. A water outlet 5 is provided on the side of the drain pipe 4 near the drain pipe 4. A drain pipe 6 is snapped into the edge of the water outlet 5. The drain pipe 6 consists of three sections, which are threaded together. The drain pipe 6 is designed to be three sections with threads, which makes it easy to adjust the length of the drain pipe according to the actual installation scenario and drainage needs. The bottom end of the drain pipe 6 at the lower end is threadedly connected to a round pipe 7. The inner wall of the round pipe 7 is embedded with a filter screen 8. The filter screen 8 embedded in the inner wall of the round pipe 7 further filters the fine particles in the rainwater, improves the cleanliness of the rainwater, and provides a better water source for secondary use. The two sides of the middle part of the drain pipe 6 at the lower end are connected to auxiliary drain pipes 9. The auxiliary drain pipes 9 are inverted U-shaped. The auxiliary drain pipes 9 can realize the diversion and discharge of rainwater, avoiding the bottom blockage that prevents rainwater from being discharged.
[0024] The bottom of the collection box 1 is inclined from one side to the other. The design of the bottom of the collection box 1 is inclined from one side to the other, which is conducive to the natural flow of rainwater to the outlet 5 and the sewage outlet 3, avoiding the accumulation of rainwater in the box and improving drainage efficiency.
[0025] A partition 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection box 1 between the sewage outlet 3 and the water outlet 5. The partition 10 fixedly installed at the bottom between the sewage outlet 3 and the water outlet 5 can further separate heavier impurities such as mud and sand from the rainwater to be discharged for secondary use, ensuring that the rainwater entering the drainage pipe 6 is cleaner and improving the effect of rainwater secondary use.
[0026] The bottom of the drain pipe 4 is threaded with a sealing cap 11, which can be easily opened when draining.
[0027] Pull rings 12 are fixedly installed on both sides of the grid plate 2. The pull rings 12 make it convenient for staff to remove the grid plate 2 from the top of the collection box for cleaning and maintenance, which greatly improves the convenience of the cleaning work of the device.
