Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater harvesting technology for sponge cities, and specifically to a multifunctional rainwater harvesting module. Background Technology
[0002] A sponge city refers to a city that, like a sponge, possesses excellent resilience in adapting to environmental changes and responding to natural disasters. It absorbs, stores, infiltrates, and purifies rainwater when it rains, and releases and utilizes the stored water when needed. The construction of sponge cities should adhere to principles such as ecological priority, combining natural methods with artificial measures to maximize the accumulation, infiltration, and purification of rainwater in urban areas while ensuring urban drainage and flood control safety, thereby promoting rainwater resource utilization and ecological environmental protection. With the increasing scarcity of water resources, rainwater harvesting and utilization has become a crucial component of sponge city construction, and rainwater harvesting devices play a vital role in this process.
[0003] A sponge city rainwater harvesting device, such as application number CN202220821261.X and authorization announcement date 20220816, includes a collection box, an inlet hopper, and a drive box. The drive box is fixedly connected inside the collection box, the inlet hopper is fixedly connected to the top of the drive box, and an outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive box. A drive mechanism is installed inside the drive box, and a fixed base is fixedly connected inside the collection box and below the drive box. A cleaning mechanism is installed on the top of the fixed base, and a lifting mechanism is installed inside the collection box and on one side of the fixed base. The beneficial effect of this invention is that the drive mechanism allows the cleaning mechanism to reciprocate under power, separating impurities in the collected rainwater and thus improving the cleanliness of the rainwater.
[0004] Traditional rainwater harvesting modules for sponge cities store large amounts of rainwater in actual use. However, rainwater contains many impurities and bacteria, and prolonged storage in one place can easily lead to the growth of bacteria, causing the stored rainwater to become smelly and affecting its subsequent use. To solve this problem, disinfectant needs to be manually added after rainwater collection. Since there are many rainwater collection points in sponge cities, this process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a multifunctional rainwater harvesting module to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional rainwater harvesting module to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A multifunctional rainwater harvesting module includes a collection tank. Two mounting slots are formed on one side of the inner wall of the collection tank, and a mounting shaft is installed inside the mounting slot via bearings. A gear is mounted on the outside of the mounting shaft via a key, and a float rod is mounted on the outside of the mounting shaft via a key. Two storage boxes are bolted to the outer wall of one side of the collection tank, and a cap is threaded to the top of one side of the storage box. A guide shell is welded to one side of the inner wall of each storage box, and a rack block is slidably inserted inside the guide shell, with one end of the rack block located inside the mounting slot. The rack block meshes with the gear. Two discharge slots are formed on one side of the inner wall of the collection tank, and the discharge slots communicate with the storage boxes.
[0008] Furthermore, a cover plate is bolted to one side of the outer wall of the top of the collection tank, and a filter cloth is bolted between the cover plate and the top of the collection tank.
[0009] Furthermore, three support rods are bolted to the top outer wall of the cover plate, and a collection hopper is welded to the top of the three support rods. Multiple spiked claws are welded inside the collection hopper.
[0010] Furthermore, an installation groove is provided at the center of the outer wall of one end of the collection tank, and a fan module is installed inside the installation groove by bolts. An air outlet pipe is inserted into the top of the fan module, and the air outlet pipe is located inside the collection tank.
[0011] Furthermore, the air inlet of the fan module is threadedly connected to an air inlet pipe, and a filter cover is threadedly connected to one end of the air inlet pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, a float overflow pipe and a drain pipe are respectively inserted into the outer wall of one side of the collection tank, with the float overflow pipe located above the drain pipe and one end of the float overflow pipe located inside the collection tank.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the multifunctional rainwater harvesting module provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] (1) With the storage box, float rod, gear, mounting shaft, rack and discharge chute set up, when rainwater enters the collection tank, as the rainwater continues to enter, the bottom float rod will rise due to buoyancy. The rising float rod will drive the mounting shaft to rotate, the rotating mounting shaft will drive the gear to rotate, the rotating gear will drive the rack block to move into the collection tank, one end of the rack block will detach from the storage box, and the solid disinfectant inside the storage box will flow into the collection tank through the discharge chute. This process does not require manual addition and can automatically add disinfectant, thus expanding the function of the rainwater collection module.
[0015] (2) Through the set fan module, air inlet pipe, filter cover and air outlet pipe, the fan module will start at timed by the control of the external control equipment. The outside air will flow into the air inlet pipe through the filter cover. The air will then flow into the fan module through the air inlet pipe and then into the air outlet pipe. The air outlet pipe will blow the filter cloth strongly, causing the filter cloth to move upward. Because the filter cloth is impacted, some of the dust on the filter cloth will be thrown out of the filter cloth, realizing the automatic cleaning of the filter cloth. At the same time, the high pressure gas sprayed from the air outlet pipe will flow into the collection hopper, blowing out the dust and leaves inside the collection hopper, realizing the automatic cleaning of the inside of the collection hopper.
[0016] (3) The collection bucket is cone-shaped, which facilitates the collection of rainwater into the collection tank. During the rainwater collection process, the claws inside the collection bucket can intercept and treat impurities such as leaves, preventing a large number of leaves from falling on the filter cloth and affecting the filtration of the filter cloth.

One end of the rack block 21 will detach from the storage box 6, and the solid disinfectant inside the storage box 6 will flow into the collection tank 1 through the discharge chute 22. Inside, the rainwater inside the collection tank 1 is disinfected. This process does not require manual addition and can automatically add disinfectant, expanding the function of the rainwater collection module. During the rainwater collection process, the fan module 12 will start at regular intervals under the control of external control equipment. Outside air will flow into the air inlet pipe 11 after being filtered by the filter cover 13. The air will then flow into the fan module 12 through the air inlet pipe 11 and then into the air outlet pipe 14. The air outlet pipe 14 will blow the filter cloth 5 strongly, causing the filter cloth 5 to move upward. Due to the impact, some dust on the filter cloth 5 will be thrown out of the filter cloth 5, realizing automatic cleaning of the filter cloth 5. At the same time, the high-pressure gas sprayed from the air outlet pipe 14 will flow into the collection hopper 4, blowing out the dust and leaves inside the collection hopper 4, realizing automatic cleaning of the inside of the collection hopper 4.
