Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building fire protection and rainwater harvesting technology, specifically a modified intelligent fireproof building structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern architecture, fire safety is of paramount importance. Traditional building fire prevention mainly relies on municipal water supply fire protection systems. However, in some cases, municipal water supply may not be able to meet the fire water demand, especially when the fire is large-scale or the water supply system fails. At the same time, with the increasing prominence of water scarcity, rainwater collection and utilization has become an important direction for sustainable development. Building rooftops are ideal locations for collecting rainwater, and collecting rainwater for fire protection can alleviate the pressure on fire water supply to a certain extent.

[0003] Currently, rainwater harvesting devices are often limited by size, resulting in insufficient rainwater collection. Furthermore, open-type collection systems cannot avoid water evaporation and pollution, leading to water waste. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a modified intelligent fireproof building structure to solve these practical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an improved intelligent fireproof building structure that solves the problems of insufficient rainwater collection due to size limitations in rainwater collection devices, and the waste of water resources caused by open collection systems which cannot avoid water evaporation and pollution.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an intelligent fireproof building structure through the following technical solution: a modified building body, a rainwater collection tank for collecting rainwater is provided on the top of the building body, and a water collection mechanism for expanding the water collection area of ​​the rainwater collection tank.

[0006] The water collection mechanism includes two sets of hollow plates for collecting rainwater. The hollow plates are movably installed on both sides inside the water collection tank. A first metal porous filter plate for filtering rainwater is fixed to the top of the hollow plate, and a corrugated pipe for conveying rainwater is fixed to the center of the bottom of the hollow plate. A rack is fixed to the bottom of the hollow plate. A gear plate that meshes with the rack is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the water collection tank. Motors that drive the gear plate to rotate are fixed to both sides of the front of the water collection tank. A guide assembly is provided on the outside of the hollow plate to limit the movement of the hollow plate.

[0007] Preferably, the guide assembly includes two sets of first limiting rails disposed on the outer side of the hollow plate, the hollow plate being slidably connected to the inner side of the water collection tank via the first limiting rails, and a second limiting rail disposed on one side of the bottom of the hollow plate, the second limiting rail being horizontally corresponding to the rack.

[0008] Preferably, protective boxes are fixed to both sides of the front of the water collection tank, and the protective boxes are located outside the motor to protect the motor.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the water collection tank is provided with a water source sedimentation component for purifying rainwater. The water source sedimentation component includes a sedimentation tank for storing rainwater, which is fixed to the bottom of the water collection tank and is connected through the bottom of the water collection tank. The bottom of the sedimentation tank is provided with a sedimentation tank for separating impurities in the rainwater, and a second metal porous filter plate for filtering rainwater is embedded in the top of the water collection tank to reduce the flow of impurities in the rainwater into the sedimentation tank. A drainage component for conveying the settled water source is provided on one side of the sedimentation tank.

[0010] Preferably, the drainage assembly includes a drain valve pipe disposed at the bottom of one side of the sedimentation tank, and a fire connection pipe for connecting to external fire water supply equipment is disposed on one side of the sedimentation tank, with the fire connection pipe located above the drain valve pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the sedimentation tank has an installation groove on its front side, and a water level gauge is embedded in the installation groove.

[0012] This utility model provides a modified intelligent fireproof building structure. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages.

[0013] 1. Two sets of motors drive the gear disc to rotate, which in turn drives the rack to extend the hollow plate into the water collection tank. The moving hollow plate stops when the rack and gear disc reach their maximum meshing stroke. The two sets of hollow plates increase the rainwater collection area, improving collection efficiency and volume. During the dry season and high temperatures, the motor drives the gear disc to reverse, and the hollow plate retracts to seal the water collection tank, reducing water evaporation and pollution, and protecting water resources.

[0014] 2. Rainwater enters the collection tank through the second metal porous filter plate, which removes larger particles of impurities from the rainwater. Then, the rainwater flows into the sedimentation tank, where the sedimentation tank separates the remaining fine impurities, improving the purity of the water source. Through this filtration and sedimentation, impurities such as mud, sand, and leaf debris are prevented from entering the external fire-fighting equipment through the fire connection pipe, preventing damage to the fire pump and blockage of the fire sprinkler head, and ensuring the stable operation of the fire-fighting equipment.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] First implementation method:

[0025] refer to Figure 1-3 5-6, A modified intelligent fireproof building structure, including a building body 1, a water collection tank 2 for collecting rainwater is installed on the top of the building body 1, and a water collection mechanism 3 for expanding the water collection area of ​​the water collection tank 2.

[0026] The water collection mechanism 3 includes two sets of hollow plates 301 for collecting rainwater. The hollow plates 301 are movably installed on both sides inside the water collection tank 2. A first metal porous filter plate 305 for filtering rainwater is fixed to the top of the hollow plate 301. A corrugated pipe 306 for conveying rainwater is fixed to the center of the bottom of the hollow plate 301. A rack 302 is fixed to the bottom of the hollow plate 301. A gear plate 304 that meshes with the rack 302 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the water collection tank 2. Motors 303 that drive the gear plate 304 to rotate are fixed to both sides of the front of the water collection tank 2. A guide component is provided on the outside of the hollow plate 301 to limit the movement of the hollow plate 301.

[0027] The corrugated pipe 306 is connected between the bottom center of the hollow plate 301 and the sedimentation tank 401. When the hollow plate 301 extends or retracts into the water collection tank 2, the corrugated pipe 306 can extend and retract accordingly, ensuring that rainwater can be continuously and stably transported from the hollow plate 301 to the sedimentation tank 401 during the movement of the hollow plate 301, without interruption of transport or leakage due to changes in the position of the hollow plate 301.

[0028] The guide assembly includes two sets of first limiting rails 308 disposed on the outside of the hollow plate 301. The hollow plate 301 is slidably connected to the inside of the water collection tank 2 through the first limiting rails 308. A second limiting rail 309 is disposed on one side of the bottom of the hollow plate 301. The second limiting rail 309 is horizontally corresponding to the rack 302.

[0029] Protective boxes 307 are fixed to both sides of the front of the water collection tank 2. The protective boxes 307 are located outside the motor 303 and are used to protect the motor 303.

[0030] Two sets of motors 303 drive the gear disk 304 to rotate. The rotating gear disk 304 drives the rack 302 to move horizontally through meshing, so that the hollow plate 301 extends out of the water collection tank 2. The movement direction of the hollow plate 301 is restricted by the first limit rail 308 and the second limit rail 309.

[0031] The moving hollow plate 301 is limited by the maximum meshing stroke of the rack 302 and the toothed disc 304, and thus stops moving. At this time, the two sets of hollow plates 301 extending into the water collection tank 2 increase the rainwater collection area, thereby improving the efficiency and amount of rainwater collection.

[0032] The collected rainwater is initially filtered through the first metal porous filter plate 305, and then transported to the sedimentation tank 401 for storage through the corrugated pipe 306.

[0033] When the dry season and high temperatures arrive, the two sets of motors 303 drive the gear plate 304 to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the rack 302 to move in the opposite direction, causing the hollow plate 301 to retract into the water collection tank 2, thereby sealing the water collection tank 2.

[0034] This design not only achieves efficient water collection by increasing the rainwater collection area, but also maintains the internal sealing of the sealed water collection tank 2 to prevent water evaporation and external pollution. It protects water resources in all aspects from the perspectives of collection and storage, effectively reducing water loss and pollution during the dry season and high-temperature weather, and solving the problem of easy evaporation and pollution of rainwater collected in the open under these harsh conditions.

[0035] The first limiting rail 308 is set on the outside of the hollow plate 301, which can limit the left and right movement of the hollow plate 301 in the horizontal direction, ensuring that it enters and exits the water collection tank 2 in the set direction. The second limiting rail 309 further limits the movement direction of the bottom of the hollow plate 301, preventing it from deviating or shaking during movement, and ensuring that the hollow plate 301 can stably extend and retract.

[0036] The protective box 307 is fixed to both sides of the front of the water collection tank 2 and located outside the motor 303. It is mainly used to protect the motor 303, prevent the motor 303 from being exposed to the external environment and affected by rainwater erosion, dust accumulation, etc., ensure that the motor 303 can operate stably and reliably, and extend the service life of the motor 303.

[0037] Second implementation method:

[0038] However, when using rainwater harvesting devices, the rainwater collected by the rainwater harvesting equipment installed on the roof of the building is prone to contain impurities due to atmospheric suspended particles, debris from surrounding trees and the building itself. These impurities can damage fire pumps and clog sprinkler heads. Mud and sand can wear down pump parts, and leaf debris can clog sprinkler nozzles. Therefore, filtration and sedimentation are necessary to ensure the stable operation of fire-fighting equipment. For this reason, this device is also equipped with a water sedimentation component, specifically:

[0039] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 In the second embodiment of this utility model, a water source sedimentation component 4 for purifying rainwater is provided at the bottom of the water collection tank 2. The water source sedimentation component 4 includes a sedimentation tank 401 for storing rainwater. The sedimentation tank 401 is fixed to the bottom of the water collection tank 2 and is connected through the bottom of the water collection tank 2. A sedimentation tank 402 for separating impurities in rainwater is provided at the bottom inside the sedimentation tank 401. A second metal porous filter plate 405 for filtering rainwater is embedded in the top of the water collection tank 2 to reduce the flow of impurities in rainwater into the sedimentation tank 401. A drainage component for conveying the settled water source is provided on one side of the sedimentation tank 401.

[0040] The drainage assembly includes a drain valve pipe 403 located at the bottom of one side of the sedimentation tank 401. A fire connection pipe 404 for connecting to external fire water supply equipment is provided on one side of the sedimentation tank 401. The fire connection pipe 404 is located on the side above the drain valve pipe 403. An installation groove is provided on the front of the sedimentation tank 401, and a water level gauge 5 is embedded in the installation groove.

[0041] After rainwater enters the water collection tank 2 through the second metal porous filter plate 405, the second metal porous filter plate 405 filters the rainwater, effectively removing larger particles of impurities in the rainwater. Subsequently, the rainwater enters the sedimentation tank 401, where the sedimentation tank 402 plays a role in settling and separating the remaining fine impurities in the rainwater, further improving the purity of the water source. After this process of filtering and settling the rainwater, the problem of mud, sand, leaf residue and impurities contained in the water source entering the external fire-fighting equipment through the fire connection pipe 404, which would cause damage to the fire pump and blockage of the fire sprinkler head, is effectively prevented, thus ensuring the stability of the operation of the fire-fighting equipment.

[0042] By connecting the fire-fighting connection pipe 404 to the external fire-fighting water supply equipment, the clean water source inside the sedimentation tank 401, after filtration and sedimentation, can be smoothly transported to the fire-fighting water system for fire-fighting water supply and fire-related auxiliary water.

[0043] Operators can open the drain valve 403 at regular intervals to discharge the impurities settled inside the sedimentation tank 402. This operation achieves the function of cleaning the sedimented impurities and maintaining the sedimentation tank 401 to continuously and effectively purify the water source.

[0044] The water level gauge 5 is mainly used to display the water level in the sedimentation tank 401 in real time. By observing the water level gauge 5, the operator can intuitively understand the amount of water in the sedimentation tank 401, so as to take appropriate measures in time and make reasonable arrangements for the use of water source.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
