A three-way valve (not shown), which is controlled through the control unit 50, is provided at the connection between the recycle water supply pipe 30 and the tap water supply pipe 40 to supply tap water or storm water according to the level and the degree of turbidity of the storage unit 20. [ (Not shown).

The three-way valve 32 is adapted to selectively supply tap water or storm water. The three-way valve 32 can be replaced with a two-way valve separately formed in the recycle water supply pipe 30 and the tap water supply pipe 40, The third directional valve 32 is preferably used.

In addition, the recycling water pipe 30 is discharged to a place where reusable water such as toilet, garden water, industrial water, and cleaning water can be utilized.

Therefore, the rainwater stored in the storage unit 20 can be measured by the water level and the degree of turbidity and discharged by the first pump 31. If the water level and turbidity degree is detected to be a certain value or more, Way valve 32 is controlled by the control unit 50 so that the three-way valve 32 is controlled.

The third valve 64 is opened and closed through the control unit 50 to supply the tap water to the supply pipe 61 according to the degree of turbidity of the storage unit 20.

The supply pipe (61) is formed with a supply part (70) formed on the outside and capable of supplying a disinfectant, a cleaning agent and the like to the supply pipe (61).

The supply unit 70 may be connected to the supply pipe 61 and may include a fourth valve 71 controlled by the control unit 50 to control the flow of the supply gas into the supply pipe 61 .

Accordingly, the sealed storage unit 20 can be easily cleaned and disinfected, and the deposited sediment and foreign matter can be easily discharged.

Accordingly, the operation state will be described below as shown in FIGS.

When the rainwater removed from the rainwater collector pipe 11 flows into the water collecting part 10, the rainwater is rotated inside the water collecting part 10, so that the initial rainwater together with the discharge pipe precipitate and the foreign matter, And then discharged to the discharge pipe 12, and the first valve 13 is closed when a predetermined time elapses to store the storm.

At this time, the buoyancy member (14) prevents the backflow of storm stored in the first discharge pipe (12), prevents the flow of the introduced oil, and prevents sediment and foreign matter from mixing.

The storm having the initial storm removed is moved to the storage unit 20 and stored, and the sediment and foreign matter are precipitated downward by the specific gravity.

At this time, a plurality of through-holes 23a are formed in the partition plate 23 partitioning the rainwater inflow section 21 and the rainwater discharge section 22 so as to lower the flow rate of the inflow, thereby facilitating precipitation of sediment and foreign matter can do.

It also prevents sediment and foreign matter precipitated in the bottom from floating by the flow velocity.

The rainwater from which the precipitate and the foreign matter are removed can be sucked through the recycle water pipe 30 and used as reused water such as toilet, garden water, industrial water, and the like.

When the storages exceed the storage capacity of the storage unit 20, the storages are discharged to the outside through the overflow pipe 15 formed in the upper part of the collection unit 10. The overflow pipe 15 Is desirably discharged to a sewer pipe, a sewage pipe or the like so that the introduced storm can be easily discharged.

Therefore, the storm that the initial storm has been removed from the incoming rainwater can be used to remove sediments and foreign matter.

When the water level of the stormwater stored in the storage unit 20 is measured through the water level measuring means 52 and the water quality sensing means 53 at a certain level and the degree of turbidity is below a predetermined value, And the tap water is supplied through the tap water supply pipe (40) so that the tap water can be used.

Therefore, when stored rainwater can not be used, tap water is supplied and made available at all times.

If the stored sediment and foreign matter can not be used in the lower part of the storage part 20, the water is detected through the water quality sensing part 53 and the second valve 25 are opened to discharge sediments, foreign matter, and stormwater to the outside through the second discharge pipe (24) to remove sediments and foreign matter.

At this time, it is preferable that the discharged sediment, foreign matter, and rainwater are connected to the drain pipe 24 through the second drain pipe 24 so as to easily transfer the discharged storm water.

Accordingly, when the storm can not be used as reusing water and the storage unit 20 is contaminated, the sediment, foreign matter, and storm can be discharged to store the clean storm in the storage unit 20.

As shown in FIG. 7, the cleaning means 60 removes sediments and foreign substances adsorbed on the inner surface of the storage unit and discharges or deposits them.

It is preferable that the cleaning means 60 is operated so as to remove the foreign substances and sediments adsorbed therein while discharging the sediment, foreign matter and stormwater when the water quality measured by the water quality sensing means 53 is a certain value or less .

Therefore, tap water is supplied to the control unit 50, and the water is sprayed on the inner surface to remove the adsorbed foreign substances and sediments, and is discharged to the outside through the second valve 25 formed at the bottom or precipitated downward.

It is also preferable that a disinfectant, a detergent or the like for facilitating the removal of germs, odors, and foreign substances propagating in the interior of the storage unit 20 sealed through the supply unit 70 is provided.

In order to prevent the inner surface of the storage part 20 from being contaminated by sediments and foreign substances due to storms stored in the storage part 20 and to prevent the quality of the storm water from being degraded, The inner surface can be easily cleaned.

A variety of medicines such as a cleaning agent and a disinfectant can be added to easily clean and disinfect the inner surface of the storage unit, thereby preventing deterioration of water quality for a long time.
