Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention generally relates to a rainwater collection and eight-distribution system for buildings, including at least - water springs, at least - rainwater storage tanks and interconnections / official parts and electrical controls In particular, it relates to an automatic rainwater collection and gossip system, which includes at least one main i-unit with a pump control unit knife and a knife-based long-term ceramic water reservoir. Flat configuration to provide pumping start delay. 'ln'llne) [Prior Art] In the past, rainwater was collected and stored for non-flushing, horticulture and washing. Human water use, for example, U.S. Patent No. 6,941,702 discloses a use of rainwater for the purpose of saving rainwater collection using water, and a collection system comprising a side-by-side configuration system disposed along the roof of a building structure. This is disposed as a groove disposed on the ground and under one of the grooves, and a groove support which is removably supported on the groove support, is firmly connected to each other and used to The rainwater is thirsty from the trough to the trough and the sink contains a rainwater distribution assembly that is arranged to pass through the wall of the sink and to drain the spout and the pipe in the rain fire trough. 7 Overflow from the sink drain This conventional invention essentially allows the storage tank to be stored. This conventional thin collection system is widely used by gravity to drop the pressure head to the lower tank. The main disadvantage of j is the storage = medium to be distributed. Furthermore: to make the rain water beautiful from the stored water. </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; Various rainwater harvesters are known, including rooftop collection systems (such as trenches) and surface covering structures (such as driveways, walkways, parking lots, and patios). These collection systems are combined in a collection piping system that carries rainwater to more than one stormwater containment vessel. The stored rainwater can then be redistributed and again through various re-distribution methods to take care of the watering requirements of some or all of the landscape. This system facilitates the standard foundation and slab construction techniques required to contain the major components of the structure required to contain the container. The main disadvantage of this ground or underground system is that the pressure head is particularly weak or unstressed, and a pump is required to distribute the collected rainwater. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to collect rainwater from a trench along the bottom edge of a roof of a building after rainfall flushing, and to collect the collected rainwater into the rainwater storage tank after the pumping start delay, and when in the rainwater Stop pumping when there is insufficient rain in the storage tank or when the rainwater storage tank is full. The second object of the present invention is to fully automate the operation of the rainwater collection and distribution system by electrical control. A third object of the present invention is to indicate the state of operation of the system to a main switch panel installed in a building. A fourth object of the present invention is to ensure that the rainwater collected in the rainwater receptacle is clean and free of impurities. Other objects will be apparent from the following description. 5 94961 201114989 These and other objects are achieved by an automatic rainwater collection and distribution system having at least one water pump, at least one rainwater storage tank and interconnecting pipe, fittings and electrical controls, including at least one pump control unit and rainwater The main unit of the reservoir. The main unit is formed in an in-line configuration with the cut-out section of the groove along the bottom edge of the roof of the building and adjacent to the straight downpipe of the open drain. The rainwater storage tank is disposed under the roof of the building. An inlet conduit connects the main unit to the rainwater storage tank. Rainwater in the rainwater reservoir can then be pumped through the inlet conduit to the rainwater storage tank. The outlet conduit from the rainwater storage tank allows the collected rainwater to be used for non-drinking purposes in other parts of the building. Preferably, the water pump is operated by the water pump control unit including at least one floating means having the electrical control assistance, whereby the water pump is sufficient when the rainwater is sufficient and the rainwater storage tank is not full. The pumping starts after the pumping start delay, and when the rainwater in the rainwater tank is insufficient or the rainwater storage tank is full, the fruit stops pumping. The rainwater storage tank is complementary to the existing tap water storage tank disposed under the roof of the building by the interconnecting pipe, the pipe fitting and the electrical control. [Embodiment] The conventional invention only allows rainwater to fall from the groove to the ground or the underground storage tank by gravity. The pump was later used to distribute rainwater throughout the building. Obviously, the pump consumes more power. The building may have more than one trough 20 along the bottom edge of the roof. The rainwater collection and distribution system includes at least one water pump 11, at least one rainwater storage tank 30, and interconnecting tubes, tubing, and electrical controls. According to the invention, the adjacent 6 94961 201114989 is connected to the open drainage ditch 7 〇. The accommodating and the groove forming the inline (i / G - segment groove 2G is cut into elements ίο including the water system control unit ne) Rainwater is collected on the edge of a single 70 10 ° main single. Important day* rainwater receptacle 13. Then, from the roof, by the technique 2 of the present invention, it is only necessary to collect clean rain water free from impurities. Two 72 without impurities. The water system 11 can be disposed in the main unit 1. The internal 4 7 divination. When the rainwater reservoir 3 is not yet full, and there is sufficient rainwater and the rainwater storage tank 1〇, after a delay, the water pump 11 is started to pump the rainwater in the rainwater reservoir 13 into the rainwater storage tank 30. Schema: The interconnection pipes and fittings that are common in the current application are included in the description. It is discussed in detail to maintain simplicity and clarity of electrical control to make the invention fully automated. In essence, the present invention teaches an optimum mode of operation for automatic rainwater harvesting and sub-systems for buildings. ^ In the first drawing, the two main units 1 () of the present invention are arranged in a groove 20 which is positioned under the double-layered day and the three-sided side. According to the present invention, some rainwater systems are pumped to the rainwater storage tank 3G towel. The rainwater 4 storage tank 30 of the present invention is complementary to the existing tap water storage tank water disposed under the (4) of the lamella. Excess rainwater flows from the trough 20 along the straight down tube 50 to the open row, and the a-ducts 32, 42 from the one of the storage tanks 30, 40 are connected to the chamber and the faucet in the ditch. In the figure lb, a section 20 of the straight tube 5 邻近 adjacent to the open drain 7 is cut into a main sheet 94961 7 201114989, which is arranged in an in-line arrangement with the groove. The depth of the main unit 10 is greater than the depth of the groove 20. This extra depth forms a space for the rainwater reservoir 13. The space above the rainwater reservoir 13 constitutes a groove section. In Fig. 2a, the main unit 10 of the present invention is formed in line with the cut-out section of the groove 20 and adjacent to the straight down tube 50. The horizontally disposed bypass pipe 52 is connected to the elbow 51 through an opening provided in the base of the main unit 10. After the rain wash, most of the rain will travel along the trough 20 at a first rate (f 1 ow rate). Some rainwater falls by gravity and enters the rainwater reservoir 13. The rainwater in the rainwater reservoir 13 is again discharged to the elbow 51 through the bypass pipe 52 at a second flow rate and finally discharged to the straight down pipe 50. The second flow rate is the outflow rate from the rainwater reservoir 13. The diameter of the bypass pipe 52 also determines this outflow rate. The pumping start delay is thus controlled by the difference between the inflow rate of rainwater entering the rainwater reservoir 13 and the outflow rate from the rainwater reservoir 13. If the first flow rate is greater than the second flow rate, the rainwater will eventually accumulate in the rainwater reservoir 13. This rising rainwater level will initiate electrical control to turn on the water pump 11. One of the purposes of this delay is to allow the initial rainwater with impurities to fall into the straight down tube 50 after the first rain wash. In Fig. 2b, the water pump control unit 12 is disposed on one side of the main unit 10 of the present invention. The water pump control unit 12 does not block the rainwater passage in the trough 20. Most of the rainwater in the trough 20 flows through the elbow 51 and the tubular member into the straight down tube 50. The inlet duct 31 to the rainwater storage tank 30 is connected from the rainwater reservoir 13 of the main unit 10. The overflow pipe 33 starting from the rainwater storage tank 30 is connected to the straight down tube 50. In Figure 2c, at least one filter plate 19 with perforated holes covers the opening of the 8 94961 201114989 rainwater receptacle 13. The filter plate 19 is disposed directly at the depth of the main. When the rainwater from the groove 2G falls by gravity to the rainwater ‘13, the filter plate 19 prevents impurities from falling into the rainwater reservoir 丨3. The water pump unit 12 is of a trapezoidal shape having two inclined ends. The system is disposed on one side of the main unit 10, and the water module 12 is substantially at the top and bottom of the rainwater reservoir 13 as a chamber 18 and a casing 17. The bottom of the chamber 18 is open to allow rainwater from the rainwater reservoir 3 to rise therein. The top of the chamber 18 and the outer casing 17 can be closed by a cover (not shown). The water pump control unit 12 is thus partially or completely immersed in the rainwater reservoir 13 of the main unit 1 and extends above the slot section. The slanted end of the water pump control unit 12 allows rainwater in the trough 2 to flow with minimal obstruction. Impurities including leaves and the like will not be collected in them. The water outlet connector 34 connects the main unit 1 to the rainwater storage tank 30 through the inlet duct 31. In Fig. 2d, the filter plate 9 is removed from the opening of the rainwater reservoir 13. A seesaw lever arm 15 is provided at the base of the water pump control unit 12. The free end is a dome for shielding the opening of the bypass tube 52 which is positioned below the main unit 1〇. It should be noted that this dome does not completely seal the opening. Incorporating a small gap or pore system therein advantageously allows a small amount of rainwater to permeate therethrough. It affects the outflow rate of the rainwater flow to the bypass pipe 52 and thus affects the pumping start delay to accumulate the amount of rainwater in the rainwater reservoir 13. When the rain ceases, the rainwater in the rain reservoir 13, the chamber 18, and the outer casing π will eventually leak into the bypass pipe 52. The filter basket 14 covers the inlet of the water pump 11 to prevent impurities from entering the water pump. 94961 201114989 In this figure, the water pump π is disposed within the rainwater reservoir 13. It is important to note that the water system 11 can also be placed outside the main unit u. In this case, the suction pipe starting from the outer water mill 11 can be configured to draw rain water from the rain water reservoir 13. According to the teachings of the present invention, an embodiment of the water pump control unit 12 will be described below. The water pump control unit 12 includes a chamber 18 and a housing 17. The water pump control unit 12 is disposed adjacent to the slot section, thus leaving some empty space below it. In the first and second embodiments, two floating means (18b 171) are employed. The bottom of the chamber 18 is substantially open. Chamber 18 provides a pumping start delay. The first floating means 181 integrally mounts the first ejector pin 183 and the bottom bar 182 and is moved up and down in the chamber 18 by the vertical guide 16. When the rain 'water rises in the cavity t 18 , the first top drought 183 harmonizes the first overhead limit switch 121 . The bottom rod 182 of the first floating means i8i is halved to the winding cross-bar arm 15 by the drum key 184. The free end of the seesaw lever arm 15 is a dome which can be closed to the opening π of the bypass pipe 52. Therefore, it also affects the pumping start delay. The outer casing 17 further affects the pumping start delay. When sufficient rainwater accumulates in the outer casing π, the second floating means m moves upward (four) to engage the second overhead limit switch 122. When the rain is insufficient, the second floating section 171 remains downward due to its own weight within the outer casing π. Fig. 3a is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the button control unit u as shown in Fig. 2d, the seesaw lever arm 15 is in the position of 94961 10 201114989. The 3b figure shows the water chestnut control unit. 12 is a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the lapped lever arm 15 in the raised position. This corresponds to 'when there is no rain or insufficient rain in the rain reservoir 11 13 and the chamber 18. It also shows the water | U and the water chestnut control unit 12 cloth I, two force months. The air limit switches 121 and 122, the two floating means 181 and the ΐ7ι and a ^ engage the seesaw lever arm 15 of the first floating means 181. The chamber 18 is integrally assembled with a first floating rod 183 and a first floating means (8) of the bottom rod. The first-floating means 181 is restricted to be movable only up and down by the vertical guide 16 therein. Above the first floating means 181, a first overhead limit is set (2). Below the first floating hand ^ 181, the free end of the seesaw lever arm 15 is disposed as a dome that can loosely cover the other end of the open plate lever arm 15 that connects the bypass pipe 52. The bottom rod 182 of the first: segment (8) is salvaged by the chain link 184.

The ^ peripheral unit 17 incorporates the body means m of the second jack 172. The second floating means 171 is also restricted to move up and down within the outer casing 17 by means of a vertical guide therein. σ = face is made m near the core. 7 The light base is provided with a first: opening 173. Fig. 4a is a perspective view showing the first embodiment of controlling the early το 12 as shown in Fig. 2d, with the seesaw lever arm ^ 94961 11 201114989 in the closed position. Figure 4b is a cross-sectional view showing a first embodiment of the seesaw lever arm 15 of the water pump control unit a in the closed position. This corresponds to the situation when there is sufficient rain in the rain receptacle 13 and the chamber 18. When rainwater accumulates in the chamber 18, the first floating means 181 is moved upward by buoyancy. The first jack 183 circumscribes the third stop limit switch 12 and the bottom lever 182 raises the meshing end of the seesaw lever arm u upward by the hinge lever 184. The dome at the other free end of the jaw lever arm 15 is pushed down and loosely closes the opening of the connection bypass tube 52. When more rainwater accumulates in the chamber 18, excess rainwater enters the outer casing 17 through the first opening 173. The second floating means m then moves upward by buoyancy. Its jack 172 engages the second overhead limit switch 122. Only when the first overhead limit switch 121 and the second overhead limit switch 122 are called together, the electric control starts the water pump n to pump the rainwater accumulated in the rainwater reservoir 13 through the inlet duct 31 to start pumping to In the rainwater storage tank 30. When one of the first overhead limit switch 121 and the second overhead limit switch 122 is not engaged, the water pump 丨丨 will stop pumping. In other words, the rainwater reservoir 13 and the chamber 18 first provide a pumping start delay. The outer casing 17 then extends the pumping start delay. The position of the first opening 173 on the outer casing 17 and its diameter also affect the pumping start delay. Figure 5 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the water pump control unit 12 shown in another mode of operation. Here, the first opening 173 of the outer casing 17 sighs at a higher water level. By raising the height or position, it takes time to rise to this level due to the rain, so a longer pumping start delay is introduced. The second floating means 171 takes longer to engage the 94961 12 201114989 second overhead limit switch 122. In order to drain the rainwater in the outer casing 17, a second opening 174 is provided at the bottom or base of the outer casing 17. A third floating means 175 having a closing means is provided to engage or disengage the second opening 174. It is important to note that the first and second embodiments of the water pump control unit 12 are modified to use only one floating means. 181. This variant is less effective but still works. Another less effective deformation is that the seesaw lever arm 15 is not used at the bottom of the first floating means 181. As shown in Fig. 6, the rainwater storage tank 30 of the present invention is connected to the existing tap water storage tank 40, and the present invention is fully automated with electrical control. The inlet duct 31 starting from the main unit 10 of the present invention is disposed at a higher water level of the rainwater storage tank 30. A section of the inlet conduit 31 adjacent the rainwater storage tank 30 is provided with a magnetic flow rate switch 35 that detects the presence of rainwater and activates the status indicator in the main switch panel 60. The inlet duct 31 is compounded and has two unit non-return check valves to prevent rainwater from flowing back to the main unit 10 of the present invention. The ball valve 39 is fixed in front of the magnetic flow rate switch 35. The ball valve 39 and the socket joint 36 close the main unit 10 to easily loosen the pipe work to prevent the need to replace the main unit 10. The outlet duct 32 starting from the rainwater storage tank 30 and the outlet duct 42 starting from the tap water storage tank 40 are joined together by a tee joint 41 to supply water to the washroom and the faucet in the building. The automatic electronically controlled valve 43 is provided at the outlet conduit 42 of the tap water storage tank 40. Automatic power 13 94961 201114989 Control valve 43 is set to the off state and is operable by alternating current (AC) or direct current (pc). The outlet conduits 32, 42 are installed with standard pipe fittings commonly used in pipe engineering applications, including ball valves, pipe joints, filters, and check valves. At least one overflow pipe 33 is also disposed at another higher water level of the rainwater storage tank 3, and is connected to the straight down pipe 50 connected to the open drain 70. The interconnecting pipes and fittings required by the current pipe work are well known. When there is a low water level in the rainwater storage tank 30, the electrical control is automatically switched to supply water from the tap water storage tank 40. When the water level in the rainwater storage tank reaches the preset water level, the system is reversed. The magnetic floating limit switch 3 7 is installed at the high water level in the rainwater storage tank 30. When the water is detected at the overflow level, the magnetic floating limit switch 37 will turn off and cut off the power supplied to the water pump 11. When no water is detected, the magnetic floating limit switch 37 is activated and the water pump 11 is ready in the standby mode. When the overhead limit switches 丨 21 and 122 connected to the first and second floating means 181 and 171, respectively, are engaged, the water pump 11 starts pumping water. The submerged floating magnetic water level switch 38 is disposed at a low water level in the rainwater storage tank 30. When the water level is above this low water level, the submerged floating magnetic water level switch 38 will be deactivated and closed. When the water level is below this low water level, the submerged floating magnetic water level switch 38 is activated and the automatic electronically controlled valve disposed at the outlet conduit 42 of the tap water storage tank 40 is also activated. Tap water can then be used. The state in the rainwater storage tank 30 is sensed by the immersed pulsating magnetic water level switch 38, and this state is communicated accordingly. 14 94961 201114989 ' It is important to note that the rainwater storage tank 30 and the tap water storage tank* 40 It is placed under the roof and above the ground. This location provides a pressure head for the collected rainwater so that it is essentially distributed by gravity, thus eliminating the need for a water pump. The ground is made of metal including stainless steel and press steel, or made of plastic material including glass fiber and low density polypropylene (LDPE). The rainwater storage tank 30 can also be interlocked by plural. And a smaller container of interconnecting tubes. This configuration allows existing buildings to be installed without the need to remove roof trusses or ceilings. Rainwater storage tanks 30, The inlet and outlet conduits 31 and the tubular members are made of green or green pigments. The pistons and tap water are also provided with green labels or markings. This is to identify the invention. As shown in Fig. 7, the main switch panel 60 is mounted on The interior of the building represents the state of operation of the system of the four main units 10 of the present invention. Different indicator lights are used to indicate the different states of the present invention. (The exact color scheme of the indicator light can be changed in actual application). When the main switch MS-1 is activated, the red neon indicator light indicates that the system is in the standby mode ready for operation. The orange LED indicator indicates that the water pump 11 in the rainwater reservoir 13 is pumping rainwater. The LED indicator indicates that rainwater is flowing into the rainwater storage tank 30. The functioning blue LED indicates that water is being supplied from the tap water storage tank 40. In order to indicate the above mentioned state, Fig. 8 is a display depicting the present invention.
