Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drainage equipment technology, and in particular to a rainwater and sewage separation device. Background Technology

[0002] The drainage system uses separate municipal drainage pipes for rainwater and sewage, a system known as rainwater and sewage separation. This means that some sewage from balconies and rooftops in residential areas is discharged into the municipal pipe network through balcony risers and building exterior pipes. On sunny days, this water is mainly domestic sewage such as laundry water. However, on rainy days, the rainwater passing through this drainage pipe is often clean rainwater.

[0003] During heavy rain, the large volume of rainwater discharge may cause a single pipe to be unable to meet the demand, easily leading to water accumulation. Utility Model Content

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the rainwater and sewage separation device proposed in this embodiment includes a sewage pipe 1, a drainage pipe 2, a sewage buffer tank A3, a rainwater buffer tank A4, a sewage buffer tank B10, and a rainwater buffer tank B11.

[0020] Both the sewage pipe 1 and the drainage pipe 2 are equipped with vertical partitions 12 on their inner sides. The vertical partitions 12 on both sides are arranged radially along the corresponding side pipes. The inner cavity of the sewage pipe 1 is divided into a first sewage discharge channel and a second sewage discharge channel. The inner cavity of the drainage pipe 2 is divided into a first drainage channel and a second drainage channel.

[0021] Liquid level sensors are installed inside both the sewage buffer tank A3 and the rainwater buffer tank A4; the first sewage discharge channel, the second sewage discharge channel, the first drainage channel, and the second drainage channel are respectively connected to the sewage buffer tank A3 by an upper sewage discharge pipe A51, an upper sewage discharge pipe B52, an upper sewage discharge branch pipe A61, and an upper sewage discharge branch pipe B62; the first drainage channel, the second drainage channel, the first sewage discharge channel, and the second sewage discharge channel are respectively connected to the rainwater buffer tank A4 by an upper drainage pipe A53, an upper drainage pipe B54, an upper drainage branch pipe A63, and an upper drainage branch pipe B64.

[0022] The first sewage discharge channel, the second sewage discharge channel, the first drainage channel, and the second drainage channel are connected to the sewage buffer tank B10 by lower sewage pipes A71, B72, A83, and B84, respectively. The first sewage discharge channel, the second sewage discharge channel, the first drainage channel, and the second drainage channel are connected to the rainwater buffer tank B11 by lower drainage branch pipes A81, B82, A73, and B74, respectively. Upper sewage pipes A51 and B52 are also connected. Solenoid valves 9 are installed on the upper drain pipe A53, upper drain pipe B54, upper sewage branch pipe A61, upper sewage branch pipe B62, upper drainage branch pipe A63, upper drainage branch pipe B64, lower sewage pipe A71, lower sewage pipe B72, lower drainage pipe A73, lower drainage pipe B74, lower drainage branch pipe A81, lower drainage branch pipe B82, lower sewage branch pipe A83, and lower sewage branch pipe B84. A PLC controller is also provided in this technical solution. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the liquid level sensor and the solenoid valves 9.

[0023] Wastewater buffer tank A3 and rainwater buffer tank A4 are located above sewage pipe 1 and drainage pipe 2, respectively. Wastewater inlet pipe 31 and rainwater inlet pipe 41 are respectively connected to wastewater buffer tank A3 and rainwater inlet pipe A4. Wastewater buffer tank B10 and rainwater buffer tank B11 are located below sewage pipe 1 and drainage pipe 2, respectively. Coarse mesh filters are installed at the ends of sewage inlet pipe 31 and rainwater inlet pipe 41.

[0024] Specifically, in this technical solution, sewage pipe 1 and drainage pipe 2 are used to transport sewage and rainwater, respectively. During rainy weather, rainwater enters the interior of rainwater buffer tank A4 through rainwater inlet pipe 41. In the initial state, the solenoid valves 9 on the upper drainage pipe A53, upper drainage pipe B54, lower drainage pipe A73, and lower drainage pipe B74 are all in the open state, while the upper drainage branch pipe A63, upper drainage branch pipe B64, lower drainage branch pipe A81, and lower drainage branch pipe B82 are all in the closed state. Rainwater flows into the first drainage channel and the second drainage channel through the upper drainage pipe A53 and upper drainage pipe B54, respectively. Then, the rainwater at the bottom of the first drainage channel and the second drainage channel enters the interior of rainwater buffer tank B11 through the lower drainage pipe A73 and lower drainage pipe B74, respectively, and is finally discharged through rainwater buffer tank B11.

[0025] If the liquid level inside the rainwater buffer tank A4 continues to rise and exceeds the set threshold, the liquid level sensor inside the rainwater buffer tank A4 will send a signal to the PLC controller. If the liquid level sensor inside the sewage buffer tank A3 detects no sewage discharge demand, rainwater can be discharged auxiliaryly via the sewage pipe 1, opening the upper drainage branch pipes A63 and B64. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the lower sewage pipes A71 and B72 are only briefly open, while the lower drainage branch pipes A81 and B82 are closed. The rainwater inside the rainwater buffer tank A4 then flows through the upper drainage branch pipes A63 and B64... Water branch pipe B64 flows into the first and second sewage channels respectively, first flushing the first and second sewage channels. The flushed wastewater is discharged into the sewage buffer tank B10 through the lower sewage pipes A71 and B72. Then, the lower sewage pipes A71 and B72 are closed, and the lower drainage branch pipes A81 and B82 are opened, so that the rainwater in the first and second sewage channels flows into the rainwater buffer tank B11 through the lower drainage branch pipes A81 and B82 respectively, thereby improving the rainwater discharge capacity.

[0026] When the liquid level sensor inside the sewage buffer tank A3 detects sewage entering, only one sewage discharge channel is allowed for rainwater to pass through. If the sewage level inside the sewage buffer tank A3 exceeds the set threshold, rainwater is not allowed to pass through the sewage discharge pipe 1. At this time, only sewage is allowed to pass through the sewage discharge pipe 1.

[0027] When it is not raining, and the sewage discharge volume is large, the drain pipe 2 can be activated in a similar manner to accelerate the sewage discharge. The sewage discharged from the drain pipe 2 will all flow into the sewage buffer tank B10.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, the rainwater and sewage separation device proposed in this embodiment, compared with the first embodiment, has support plates 13 installed on the inner bottom of both the sewage pipe 1 and the drainage pipe 2. Support rods are connected to the bottom of both support plates 13. The support rods on both sides movably pass through the bottom of the sewage pipe 1 and the drainage pipe 2 and are respectively connected to the sewage buffer tank B10 and the rainwater buffer tank B11. Sealing rings are installed at the bottom of both the sewage pipe 1 and the drainage pipe 2. The sealing rings allow the corresponding support rods to pass through and can play a sealing role. When water falls from a high place in the pipe, it converts potential energy into kinetic energy. Directly impacting the bottom of the pipe can easily cause damage to the pipe. Therefore, the support plates 13 installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the pipe can share the impact force of the water flow and extend the service life of the pipe.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
