The specific embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawings, at first be Fig. 1, it illustrates a kind of setting of prior art, and wherein the roof 10 of residential buildings has water tank and is placed on 11 places.In this case, the roof is a T-shape, has ridge 12 and 13, and when rainy, tank 14 around the current direction.In order to collect all water, also need other water tank to need three water tanks altogether in this case.Water tank can be positioned at 11 or in the drawings model 15 or 16 shown in the position catchment in order to utilize whole roof, but for water tank 11, the rainwater on shadow region, roof 12 of dropping will be all whole water that just are collected in the storage tank 11.The other parts on shown roof can not collected the rainwater that exceeds outside this zone, thereby this rainwater will become easily and rain.This is owing to the required drop on each part of tank, and this tank must have the summit.Water flows to water tank 11 by tube connector 17, and simultaneously the overflow pipe of water tank turns to and rains by managing 18, and this pipe 18 links to each other with bypass pipe 19.
Fig. 2 has represented in the prior art typical water tank 11, and this water tank has pipe 17 and 18 and at the at first flusher at 20 places.This at first flusher have the vertical type cylinder body 21 of predetermined volume, thereby this vertical type cylinder body filled with at first and raise valve float (valve float) 22 and close cylinder to the top, thereby water flows to water tank 11 then.This cylinder is by the bleeder valve emptying at 23 places.What can expect is that at first flushing is quantitative and does not otherwise change.Similarly, water tank must be perpendicular to the spilling water that is used for that rains, thereby it has all limited possible water tank location in any house.If at first flushing is inadequate, sewage will flow to water tank so.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention are for making following situation, wherein whole roof area all is used for collecting and water will flow in the rainwater storage tank, thereby in current embodiment, during raining, all bypass pipes 19,24,25 and 26 will cut out automatically by the suitable valve device, thereby along the whole length of tank 14, water will flow to water tank 11.Thereby only need a water tank.According to this preferred embodiment, this water tank can be placed on the house Anywhere on every side equally.
Fig. 3 has represented reduced graph of the present invention, and it is applied to the identical house that has roof 10, but in this case, has the bypass pipe 27,28,29 and 30 that changes, and described bypass pipe all is assembled diaphragm valve device 31,32,33 and 34 separately.This device is for water water conservancy diversion composite member, this water water conservancy diversion composite member be plant produced and removing original bypass pipe part after install as a whole simply.
Typically, at first rain sensor 35 detects rainfall and begins, and behind the time durations on predetermined permission flushing roof, diaphragm valve device 31,32, thus 33 and 34 close from raining water is turned to.This water initial flow direction bypass pipe still constantly raises at water level and surpasses summit arbitrarily, and it begins to flow to storage tank.Under the situation of torrential rain,, just begin to start overflow device in case this system has arrived capacity limitation.These devices are positioned at each bypass pipe place adjacent with each valve and are the parts of water conservancy diversion composite member, thereby thereby excessive water can walk around the valve-off of each position and be directed to become to rain and avoided gutter spill by bypass pipe.
At first flushing can adopt adjustable timer to control, thereby and the inlet of cistern tube be raised bottom above tank before any current direction water tank, the water level in the tank must raise and surpass inlet.Thereby, Here it is be set in certain duration at first the flushing order, optimize the at first flushing that is used to obtain expecting water quality, valve closing, water level in the tank raises, and water level raises and surpasses tank entry, current direction water tank then, if if water level continue to raise surpassed become the amount of raining or water tank and filled with by overflow pipe after, this valve open.If water tank is just filled with when rainfall just begins, valve stays open so.
Because rain sensor has intrinsic delay when the induction rainwater, so will wash on the preceding roof of valve closing, thereby minimum flushing will become the duration that begins inherent latency the system till valve is without any the startup of additional delay from rainwater.In some cases, this flushing is just enough, but in other situation, more expectation can prolong the at first duration of flushing, and in a preferred embodiment, thereby the employing electronic equipment is finished prolongation and can be selected the duration optimization water quality of at first washing.The effect of flushing will depend on many variablees, and comprising, rainwater density at that time, the roof causes the local environment factor of contamination build-up, and rain frequency, and this rain frequency has determined the amount of the pollutant that must be rinsed.Thereby, at first Chong Xi duration should be between water quality and maximum gain balance and being optimised.To consider following factor adjustment washing time setting, this time is provided with and may be adjusted frequently as required sometimes, and described factor is as follows:
Required or accessible water quality (duration that increases at first flushing is improved water quality);
Local pollution level (in the duration that the high pollution areas increase is at first washed);
The expected frequence of rainfall (increasing the at first duration of flushing) in the low frequency area.
In the situation about artificially being set in the duration, though this water is tested under different flushings is set, it may be a kind of setting of mistake.A kind of replacement method is provided, the dynamic control by monitoring flow velocity promptly is provided and make washing time be variable with can dynamically adjust accordingly flushing first.Yet under most of situation, scope extra time that is added in the set time delay is 2-5 minute.
Change an embodiment who is provided with, wherein mounted water conservancy diversion composite member as shown in Figure 4.The feature that identical numeral is identical.The Fig. 5 that is arranged at bypass pipe 27 and cistern tube 17 places has carried out more detailed expression in 6 and 7.Valving 31 comprises the chest 36 that has bypass pipe 27, and this bypass pipe 27 matches with opening 37 on being positioned at chest 36 bottoms 38.This tank 14 has the opening 39 and 40 that is arranged side by side, and this opening 40 has upright wall 41, and opening 39 has the hinged valve plates 42 at 43 places and forward position simultaneously.Pneumatic actuator 44 is used for movement of valve door-plate 42 to fastening position, as Fig. 5, shown in 6 and 7.Open position is shown in diplopia.When this valve closing, opening 40 and upright wall 41 are as forming the discharger that rains again by chest 36.Cistern tube 17 also has the opening 45 that has upright wall 46, and this upright wall has upper edge 47, and upper edge 47 is set the upper edge 48 that is lower than discharger wall 41.Thereby water will continue to flow to water tank and be filled with up to water tank.
With reference now to accompanying drawing 8 and 9, describes controller in detail.This controller is as shown in the chest 49, and described chest 49 is at the top of water tank 11 and have solar panel 50 and be used for to battery 51 trickle charges.When water tank was filled with, air actuator 52-55 (perhaps the same with bypass pipe quantity) was by vent valve 56 emptyings, and this vent valve 56 is by float 57 and float arm 58 operations.Opened like this diaphragm valve then water flow to become and rain.Air is transported to actuator by air/electric switch 60 from compressor 61 along pipe 59.This compressor is opened after variable timer delay 62 is closed, and at this moment timer is set to and is used to expect that the expected time of at first washing postpones.If work as system failure servo (system failure relay) 63 with system closing, malfunction indicator lamp 64 is with luminous then.
Figure 10-12 has represented the operation of system under varying environment.Figure 10 has represented at first flushing, and Figure 11 has represented to be guided in the water tank simultaneously that Figure 12 has represented the spilling water situation.In Figure 12, water can still flow to water tank, in case still water tank is filled with, air will be discharged all then valve plates from actuator will move to the inlet open position.
When rainfall took place after at first washing, valve closing rainwater was then walked around bypass pipe and is flowed along tank, and it is collected in the rainwater storage bin then.Valving can simply be made as the box body combinations part, and is inserted into simply by the following method in the existing bypass pipe, and this method is for being used for overflow pipe by removing the part bypass pipe and cut a hole on tank.These are placed on the corresponding bypass pipe, thereby so its water that occurs in the bypass pipe of flowing through usually on the roof be diverted now and flow in the storage tank.Under the situation of heavy rain, on bypass pipe be set to wall 41 will with the height " H " protrude in the tank, this highly a little higher than peak that relates to the tank drop, thus this special bypass pipe can guarantee to have enough height, flow and to come thereby water can be higher than peak from far-end.Under the situation of torrential rain, when water level become surpass height H the time, water flows through overflow pipe with the direction of arrow shown in Figure 12, guarantees not spilling water of tank 14 thereby valve has been bypassed.
When providing the invention described above exemplary embodiment, do not breaking away under the extraneous situation that proposes as accessory claim of the present invention, many variations of the present invention and modification it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that.
