Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rainwater harvesting technology, and in particular to an intelligent rainwater harvesting system. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of cities and the improvement of living standards, carbon emissions from building energy consumption are on the rise. Therefore, how to conserve resources, protect the environment, reduce carbon emissions, and achieve green, low-carbon, and high-quality development in the construction sector has become an increasingly important issue. Developing green buildings and constructing sponge cities are important ways to achieve a new model of green development in urban and rural construction, and rainwater harvesting and recycling are extremely important aspects. At present, rainwater harvesting, utilizing modular rainwater recycling and treatment systems to store water, scientifically utilize rainwater, reduce runoff pollution, and enhance urban drainage functions are all of great significance.

[0003] Existing intelligent rainwater harvesting systems typically collect and filter rainwater through a purification and drainage device. However, since the collection hopper of this device is always open, fallen leaves and insects occasionally fall into it, causing blockages and preventing the intelligent rainwater harvesting system from functioning properly. Therefore, an improvement to the intelligent rainwater harvesting system is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides an intelligent rainwater harvesting system that overcomes these deficiencies. The system aims to solve the problem that in existing technologies, the collection hopper of the purification and guiding liquid device is always open, occasionally allowing fallen leaves and insects to fall in and clog the collection hopper, thus preventing the intelligent rainwater harvesting system from functioning properly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an intelligent rainwater harvesting and regulation system, comprising a road surface and a water storage tank. The inner bottom wall of the water storage tank is paved with a layer of sand and gravel, and an ecological porous fiber module is fixedly installed on the top of the sand and gravel layer. A liquid collection hopper is embedded in one side of the upper surface of the road surface. A purification module is installed inside the liquid collection hopper. A water collection pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid collection hopper, and the lower end of the water collection pipe is inside the ecological porous fiber module. A sealing groove is formed on the upper surface of the liquid collection hopper, and a matching sealing cover is slidably inserted into the sealing groove. An adjustment unit is fixedly installed on the top of the liquid collection hopper, and the adjustment unit is fixedly connected to the sealing cover.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, rainwater is collected and purified through the cooperation of the collection hopper, purification module, and water collection pipe before being introduced into the interior of the ecological porous fiber module. The ecological porous fiber module then rapidly releases the collected rainwater to the soil to nourish it or replenish the groundwater level. The collection hopper is sealed and protected by the cooperation of the sealing groove and sealing cover. An adjustment unit adjusts the position of the sealing cover according to the weather conditions to ensure that the collection hopper is only opened when it rains and remains sealed at other times. This prevents fallen leaves and insects from falling into the collection hopper and causing blockages, ensuring the normal operation of the intelligent rainwater harvesting system.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the adjusting unit includes a rainwater collection tank fixedly installed on the top of the collection hopper. A float plate is provided inside the rainwater collection tank, and a connecting rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the float plate. An insertion groove is provided in the center of the inner bottom wall of the rainwater collection tank. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insertion groove. The inner wall of the sealing ring fits against the outer wall of the connecting rod. The top of the sealing cover is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when it rains, rainwater is collected through the rainwater collection trough. The float plate floats upward due to the buoyancy of the rainwater, which in turn drives the connecting rod and the sealing cover to move upward together. This allows the collection hopper to be opened to collect rainwater. The sealing ring is set to seal the area and prevent rainwater from seeping out.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a gap is provided between the bottom of the float plate and the inner bottom wall of the rainwater collection tank, and the upper surface of the float plate is conical.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the collected rainwater does not stay on the upper surface of the float, but only exists between the float and the rainwater collection tank, ensuring that the float can float.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, an exhaust pipe is fixedly inserted into the interior of the ecological porous fiber module, and a breathable block is fixedly installed on the top of the exhaust pipe. The breathable block is umbrella-shaped, and several breathable holes are opened on the outer surface of the breathable block near the upper end.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up exhaust pipes, air blocks and air holes, it is helpful to maintain the pressure balance inside the ecological porous fiber module, and avoid the normal operation of the ecological porous fiber module due to excessive internal pressure. Setting the shape of the air block into an umbrella shape can protect the air holes and prevent fallen leaves from falling into the air holes and clogging them.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a humidity sensor is fixedly connected inside the ecological porous fiber module, and the humidity sensor is fixedly connected to an external signal transmitter through a signal line.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the internal humidity conditions of the ecological porous fiber module can be sensed and monitored, and the monitored results can be sent to the staff through a signal transmitter, thus ensuring the normal operation and efficiency of the ecological porous fiber module.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the ecological porous fiber module includes an outer frame, an inner frame is fixedly installed inside the outer frame, a filling space is formed between the outer frame and the inner frame, and fiber cotton filling material is provided inside the filling space. The outer surface of the outer frame is wrapped with an acid and alkali resistant filter cloth.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the overall strength of the ecological porous fiber module is enhanced without affecting its function, making it less susceptible to compression deformation and thus extending its service life.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this application are: In this invention, rainwater is collected and purified through the cooperation of a collection hopper, a purification module, and a water collection pipe before being introduced into the interior of an ecological porous fiber module. The ecological porous fiber module then rapidly releases the collected rainwater into the soil to nourish it or replenish the groundwater level. The collection hopper is sealed and protected by the cooperation of a sealing groove and a sealing cover. An adjustment unit adjusts the position of the sealing cover according to the weather conditions, ensuring that the collection hopper is only opened when it rains and remains sealed at other times. This prevents fallen leaves and insects from clogging the collection hopper and ensures the normal operation of the intelligent rainwater harvesting system.

The sealing ring 85 is set to seal and prevent rainwater from seeping out.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, a gap is provided between the bottom of the float plate 82 and the inner bottom wall of the rainwater collection tank 81, and the upper surface of the float plate 82 is conical.

In use, without affecting the function of the ecological porous fiber module 4, the overall strength of the ecological porous fiber module 4 is enhanced, making it less prone to compression and deformation, so as to extend the service life of the ecological porous fiber module 4.

[0028] Working principle: When using the intelligent rainwater harvesting system of this application, rainwater is collected and purified through the cooperation of the collection hopper 6, purification module 7 and water collection pipe 5, and then introduced into the interior of the ecological porous fiber module 4. The ecological porous fiber module 4 quickly releases the collected rainwater to the soil to nourish the soil or replenish the groundwater level.
