PORTABLE SYSTEM OF PLUVIAL WATER CATCHING SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE

The invention referred to in this document falls within the sector of the design and search for viable, low-cost solutions for the collection of rainwater intended for human consumption, due to the shortage of drinking water in low-resource areas water.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Throughout history, human beings have used land surface water for their own consumption, cleaning and hygiene, agricultural activities, as a source of energy, etc. In addition, for more than 5000 years, there is evidence of rainwater collection systems aimed at its use in agriculture.

Currently, there are numerous rainwater harvesting systems, most of them implemented in the construction of housing itself located in areas with scarcity of water resources

Some of these systems are very developed and the water passes through filters to enter directly into the network of pipes for human consumption of the home where it is implanted. However, these types of collectors have a very high cost of manufacturing and implementation in the living place

For this reason, it is necessary to develop appropriate systems that serve to supply drinking water and that are possible to manufacture at a low cost, and can also be folded and transported easily, minimizing the necessary maintenance. The type of rainwater collection system that is sought, can solve the lack of means to obtain potable water in the world with scarce economic resources, where there is no adequate supply of water resources, or, the available water is not potable . Likewise, they can be useful in developed countries, in the domestic sphere, in applications such as irrigation, car washing or personal hygiene.

As for the state of the art, it is worth mentioning, for example and not limitation, the following documents for the protection of Inventive activity:

- WO20111084041A2: "Folding or retractable rainwater harvester"

- WO2011012738: "Rain collector tank for irrigation with protective effect type nurse plant"

In this document, a new system is developed that provides a viable and economical solution to the problem of water scarcity in regions with low economic and water resources.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention aims to collect rainwater by means of a surface that fits into a sump and, which is fixed externally to any vertical surface, such as: patio of houses, fences, houses for refugees, terraces or between trees. In this way, the system defended in this document will have a main body in the form of a sloping board to facilitate runoff towards a final funnel; This acts as a collection surface and, therefore, will be responsible for collecting rainwater. This water will be channeled to a sump through which all the collected water will be redirected to a reservoir.

The main body will be made of a rigid and waterproof material that allows flat cutting on a plate of its development and a subsequent assembly by folding, to

Give it the necessary form. In addition, it will have at its end closest to the vertical clamping surface, a series of aligned holes that facilitate its union with it; either by means of alcayatas directly on the vertical surface, or by means of flanges on those surfaces that allow it

At its other end, it will also have two aligned holes, through which a rope or flange will be passed to maintain the mounting position. This position facilitates water runoff to a drain point. At that point a pipe will be connected that will be responsible for driving the flow of collected water to the entrance of the storage tank. For its part, this tank will have an inlet hole that facilitates the connection with the pipe and therefore the correct water flow.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and, in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, an assembly of drawings is attached as an integral part of this description, where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, represented the following:

Figure 1. Shows a perspective view of the portable rainwater collection system.

Figure 2. Shows a profile view of the portable rainwater collection system.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the commented figures, it can be seen how the portable rainwater collection system is constituted by three main subsets: the waterproof main body, the sump and the reservoir

The waterproof main body (1) is manufactured by flat cutting its development on a plate of the chosen waterproof material. Subsequently, the flat development of the waterproof main body (1), will be folded by a series of edges previously chosen to facilitate runoff. In addition, and to maintain the unalterable shape, two anterior holes (2) will be included in the anterior area of the main Waterproof body (1), through which a rigid rope (3) will be passed. In its rear area, closer to the vertical surface where the system is installed, the waterproof main body has a series of rear holes (4), which facilitate the union of the complete system with the vertical surface.

At the drain point of the waterproof main body (1), a sump (5) in the form of a pipe is attached to it, which will be responsible for directing the water from the main waterproof body (1), to the tank (6). Said tank (6), will have an entrance (7), in the form of a mouth, that facilitates the union with the sump (5) and the water runoff collected by the waterproof main body (1).
