Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of irrigation equipment technology, and in particular to an ecological greening rainwater collection and reuse irrigation structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the role of ecological greening systems in regulating microclimates, purifying air, and protecting biodiversity is becoming increasingly prominent. However, traditional greening relies heavily on municipal water supply for irrigation, requiring additional water input and increasing carbon emissions due to energy consumption during transportation, which contradicts ecological principles. Therefore, rainwater, a zero-carbon resource, can serve as the primary source of irrigation for greening.
[0003] Currently, rainwater harvesting and irrigation technologies are mostly divided into two categories. One is centralized rainwater storage followed by management and distribution, but the pipeline structure or transport vehicle configuration of the distribution system still has a large operating energy consumption. The other is a simple flower bed shape that collects rainwater for self-use, but its self-storage capacity is weak. After the rainwater is stored, it continuously soaks the roots of the plants, which can easily cause the roots to rot, and the stored water can also evaporate easily.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an ecological greening rainwater collection and reuse irrigation structure, proposing a modular integrated greening rainwater collection-storage-irrigation device that separates the stored water from the vegetation to prevent root rot and reduce volatilization, and is equipped with a water collector for convenient self-watering. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing an ecological greening rainwater collection and reuse irrigation structure.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An ecological greening rainwater harvesting and reuse irrigation structure includes a pool, which comprises, from top to bottom, a covering layer, a planting layer, a sand layer, and a filter layer. A conical water storage chamber is provided within the filter layer of the pool, and the side wall of the water storage chamber is provided with several seepage holes. An insertion tube is connected to the top of the water storage chamber, and a water suction pipe is inserted into the insertion tube. A water collector installed on the insertion tube is connected to the upper end of the water suction pipe, and the outlet of the water collector is connected to a ring pipe. The side wall of the ring pipe has several drip holes arranged in a ring.
[0007] Preferably, the insertion tube is provided with a ball tube, which has multiple openings. A water-absorbing cotton rope is embedded in each opening, with one end of the water-absorbing cotton rope laid flat on the planting layer and the other end inserted into the water storage cavity.
[0008] Preferably, a rubber ring is provided inside the opening.
[0009] Preferably, multiple ribs are provided between the inner wall of the pool and the water storage cavity.
[0010] Preferably, the water dispenser is a hand-operated water pump.
[0011] Preferably, the facility also includes a pool body, on which multiple pool jars are spaced apart.
[0012] Preferably, the upper periphery of the pool is provided with multiple grip rings.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an ecological greening rainwater harvesting and reuse irrigation structure, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model, through the design of a water storage chamber, separates the accumulated rainwater from the vegetation, thereby preventing the roots of the vegetation from being continuously soaked and causing root rot and death. The accumulated rainwater is then extracted by a water extractor for drip irrigation, thus achieving the recycling and reuse of rainwater.
[0014] 2. The layered structure of this utility model satisfies the functions of rainwater collection, light filtration, and evaporation suppression, so as to improve the rainwater reuse effect.
[0015] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows; and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following description; or may be taught from practice of this invention.

[0022] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-5 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Example 1: To address the problems existing in the prior art, this example provides an ecological greening rainwater harvesting and reuse irrigation structure, including a pool 1. The interior of the pool 1 is conical to facilitate the infiltration and concentrated accumulation of rainwater. The exterior of the pool 1 can be conical, cylindrical, prismatic, or other shapes; the exterior only needs to ensure stability after installation. The pool 1 can be buried in the ground for concealed installation or installed on the surface for direct exposure. When the pool 1 is not conical in shape, its bottom end can either be widened to increase the contact area with the ground, or support feet can be installed around the bottom of the pool 1 and anchored to secure it; or auxiliary ribs can be provided to increase support stability.
[0024] The pool 1 includes, from top to bottom, a covering layer 5, a planting layer 4, a sand layer 3, and a water filtering layer 2.
[0025] The filter layer 2 is made of permeable ceramic granules and other materials, which are laid flat to intercept suspended solids and other impurities and guide rainwater infiltration.
[0026] The sand layer 3 is made of quartz sand, which can remove fine particulate impurities and protect the structure of the bottom filter layer 2, reducing the probability of clogging of the filter layer 2.
[0027] Lightweight nutrient soil was selected for planting layer 4 as a carrier for vegetation growth.
[0028] For the mulch layer 5, a layer of gravel or pebbles is laid flat, leaving room for the plant stems to grow. The gravel can buffer the impact of rainwater on the soil and prevent the soil from being exposed to direct sunlight, thereby reducing water evaporation.
[0029] The pool 1 contains a water storage chamber 6, which is entirely located within the filter layer 2. The sidewalls of the water storage chamber 6 are evenly distributed with several infiltration holes 7 for the infiltration of filtered rainwater. The water storage chamber 6 is conical in shape, which extends the distribution area of the infiltration holes 7 and accelerates the rainwater infiltration efficiency.
[0030] A tube 8 is integrally installed at the top of the water storage chamber 6, and the tube 8 communicates with the water storage chamber 6. A covering layer 5 extends from the upper end of the tube 8, and a water suction pipe 9 is inserted into the tube 8 from the upper end. The lower end of the water suction pipe 9 extends to the water storage chamber 6 and is close to the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 6. A water extractor 10 is installed at the upper end of the tube 8, and the water extractor 10 is snapped onto the upper end of the tube 8 to seal the port of the tube 8. The water intake port of the water extractor 10 is connected to the water suction pipe 9, and rainwater in the water storage chamber 6 can be drawn out through the water extractor 10. The water outlet of the water extractor 10 is connected to a ring pipe 17, and the side wall of the ring pipe 17 has a number of drip holes arranged in a ring.
[0031] Through the above technical solution: When in use, rainwater drips into the pool 1, first leaks down through the covering layer 5, and then seeps into the planting layer 4. The water in the planting layer 4 continues to flow down into the sand layer 3, where the sand layer 3 isolates most of the rainwater and mud in the planting layer 4, thus performing preliminary filtration. The water after the initial filtration then undergoes a second filtration through the filter water layer 2, and finally enters the water storage chamber 6 through the seepage holes for storage.
[0032] The stored rainwater can be drawn by the water collector 10 and then injected into the ring pipe 17, and then dripped from the drip holes on the ring pipe 17 to irrigate the vegetation in the pond 1.
[0033] The water storage chamber 6 separates the accumulated rainwater from the vegetation, preventing root rot and death caused by continuous soaking of the plant roots. The accumulated rainwater is then extracted by the water extractor 10 for drip irrigation, thus achieving rainwater recycling.
[0034] By combining physical filtration with ecological regulation, a closed loop of rainwater collection, storage, and utilization is achieved, resulting in lower overall energy consumption, self-circulation, and greater convenience.
[0035] In this design, the water dispenser 10 can be an electric water dispenser, such as a Rongshida bottled water pump; or it can be a HL-6431 hand-operated bottled water pump. Both can extract water from the storage chamber 6. The attached diagram shows the hand-operated pump.
[0036] In this design, a drain pipe can also be installed on the side wall near the bottom of the water storage chamber 6, and the drain pipe is inserted into the water storage chamber 6. A valve, such as a DN100 worm gear manual flange butterfly valve, is installed at the outer end of the drain pipe. When heavy rain or other factors cause water to overflow, the valve can be opened to drain the excess water.
[0037] In this plan, during the driest seasons when there is a lack of rain, water trucks or irrigation trucks are needed to actively irrigate the area.
[0038] In this scheme, the inner wall of the pool 1 is lined with a layer of asbestos cloth, which can protect and separate the seepage holes 7 to prevent the seepage holes 7 from being blocked.
[0039] In Example 2, a further embodiment of this solution, the water intake and irrigation by the water extractor 10, whether electric or manual, requires external drive (electricity or manpower). It needs to be coordinated with other equipment to actively irrigate according to the growth of the vegetation. If irrigation is not timely, the plants may suffer from water shortage. Therefore, in this embodiment, a bulb tube 13 is provided on the insertion tube 8. The bulb tube 13 has multiple openings, and absorbent cotton ropes 14 are embedded in the openings. One end of the absorbent cotton rope 14 is laid flat on the planting layer 4, and the other end extends downward from the insertion tube 8 and is inserted into the water storage chamber 6. The absorbent cotton rope 14 continuously draws water from the water storage chamber 6 into the planting layer 4, maintaining the basic water needs of the planting layer 4.
[0040] In this design, a rubber ring 15 is provided inside the opening. The rubber ring 15 locks the absorbent cotton rope 14, thus eliminating the gap in the opening and maintaining the sealing of the insertion tube 8; it also keeps the absorbent cotton rope 14 basically stable and prevents it from slipping and falling off.
[0041] In a further embodiment of this solution (Example 3), multiple ribs 11 are provided between the inner wall of the pool 1 and the water storage cavity 6. The contact area between the ribs 11 and the inner wall of the pool 1 gradually narrows towards the contact area with the water storage cavity 6, and the lower end of the ribs 11 is suspended, not dividing the internal space of the pool 1. The ribs 11 externally support and reinforce the conical cavity, reducing the probability of deformation of the conical cavity due to the layered structure such as the filter layer 2 pressed on top.
[0042] Example 4, a further embodiment of this solution, shows that ecological greening is generally centralized, meaning that multiple pools are set up in one area. Therefore, for the ground-mounted pool structure 1, a pool body is also provided, with multiple pools 1 spaced apart on the pool body, achieving a centralized design. The absorbent cotton rope 14 and the absorbent pipe 9 both extend into the pool body 16.
[0043] The bottom of the pool 1 is equipped with a threaded sleeve, and the pool body 16 is equipped with a threaded tube that mates with the threaded sleeve, enabling the pool 1 to be detachably installed on the pool body 16. Alternatively, bolts can be used to connect the two parts via a flange structure.
[0044] At this time, the rainwater accumulated in the pool 1 leaks down from the water storage chamber 6 into the pool body 16, where it accumulates, resulting in a larger amount of rainwater being stored. The pool body 16 also has an outer eave on its side, which can be used as a resting area for pedestrians.
[0045] In Example 5, a further embodiment of this solution, the upper periphery of the pool 1 is provided with multiple gripping rings 12. These rings can be used for transporting and hoisting the pool 1, and can also serve as gripping points for applying force when the pool 1 is screwed onto the pool body 16.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
