Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of water treatment, specifically relating to anti-clogging aeration discs. Background Technology
[0002] An aeration disc is a key piece of equipment used in water treatment systems (such as sewage treatment, aquaculture, and industrial wastewater treatment). It is usually made of corrosion-resistant materials and has a surface covered with micropores. Its core function is to generate uniform and fine bubbles in the liquid by delivering compressed air or oxygen, thereby increasing the gas-liquid contact area and promoting oxygen dissolution or mixing.
[0003] Currently, during long-term operation, suspended solids (such as sludge particles, algae, and calcium and magnesium scale) accumulate in the pores of the water, and excessive growth of microbial films covers the pores, or oils and colloidal substances in the wastewater adhere and solidify. Especially in high-hardness water or high-load wastewater treatment scenarios, clogging will significantly reduce oxygen transfer efficiency, leading to uneven aeration, increased energy consumption, and even requiring shutdown for manual cleaning or replacement, greatly increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-clogging aeration disc, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the anti-blocking component includes a connecting pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the internal thread base, and a fixing rod fixedly installed inside the connecting pipe.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the anti-blocking component further includes a vortex wheel hinged to the bottom of the fixed rod, and a stabilizing disk fixedly installed at the bottom of the vortex wheel.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the pipe body and they are interconnected.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bearing mechanism further includes a pipe clamp fixedly sleeved on the outside of the pipe body, and a fixing seat fixedly installed at the bottom of the pipe clamp.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the umbrella-shaped elastic diaphragm utilizes its elastic deformation characteristics to generate mechanical squeezing during the air-blocking process, effectively peeling off the microbial film and adhering substances in the pores; the rotating vortex formed by the oblique holes continuously flushes the channels, preventing sludge particles from depositing; the vortex wheel in the anti-clogging component generates a centrifugal force field through hydrodynamic rotation, which can effectively disperse calcium and magnesium scale and grease colloids in high-hardness water; the quick-release top cover and sealing ring design ensures sealing while enabling quick disassembly, facilitating deep maintenance under high-load sewage conditions, and significantly improving anti-clogging performance and operational stability under harsh water quality conditions.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0027] Example
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides an anti-clogging aeration disc, including:
[0029] The supporting mechanism 100 includes a pipe body 110 for conveying water;
[0030] The aeration mechanism 200 includes an internally threaded base 210, an anti-clogging component 220 disposed on the top of the internally threaded base 210, a quick-release top cover 230 threadedly mounted on the top of the internally threaded base 210, an oblique hole 240 annularly opened on the top of the quick-release top cover 230, and an umbrella-shaped elastic diaphragm 250 fixedly mounted in the inner cavity of the oblique hole 240.
[0031] The aeration mechanism 200, equipped with an anti-clogging component 220 and a quick-release top cover 230, along with the structural design of the inclined holes 240 and the umbrella-shaped elastic diaphragm 250, utilizes airflow to create vortex disturbances, preventing particle deposition. The umbrella-shaped elastic diaphragm 250 is made of EPDM rubber and is an umbrella-shaped deformable diaphragm. When aeration occurs, the pores expand to release air, and when aeration stops, the diaphragm rebounds and contracts, using mechanical extrusion to peel off the attached material. This achieves automatic airflow adjustment and anti-clogging functions during aeration, while also facilitating quick disassembly and maintenance, significantly improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.
[0032] Specifically, the aeration mechanism 200 also includes aeration micro-holes 260 opened on the top of the quick-release top cover 230, a sealing groove 270 opened on the bottom of the quick-release top cover 230, a sealing ring 280 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the internal thread base 210, and a threaded groove 290 opened on the outside of the quick-release top cover 230. The shape of the sealing groove 270 is consistent with that of the sealing ring 280, and the sealing ring 280 is movably locked in the inner cavity of the sealing groove 270.
[0033] Among them, the aeration micropores 260 ensure the uniformity of bubble generation. Through the matching movable structure of the sealing groove 270 and the sealing ring 280, dynamic sealing between the quick-release top cover 230 and the internal thread base 210 is achieved. While ensuring airtightness, the disassembly and assembly process is greatly simplified. The multiple sealing structure effectively prevents gas leakage, making the aeration process more stable and efficient.
[0034] Furthermore, the anti-blocking component 220 includes a connecting pipe 221 fixedly installed at the bottom of the internal thread base 210, and a fixing rod 222 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the connecting pipe 221. The anti-blocking component 220 also includes a vortex wheel 223 hinged to the bottom of the fixing rod 222, and a stabilizing disk 224 fixedly installed at the bottom of the vortex wheel 223. The bottom of the connecting pipe 221 is fixedly connected to the top of the pipe body 110 and they communicate with each other.
[0035] Among them, the anti-clogging component 220 provides a stable support foundation for the subsequent anti-clogging actuator through the rigid connection structure of the connecting pipe 221 and the fixing rod 222, ensuring the durability and reliability of the anti-clogging function. The combined design of the vortex wheel 223 and the stabilizing plate 224 utilizes water flow power to generate a rotating vortex, which can actively peel off the attached pollutants, realize the self-cleaning function of the aeration channel, and effectively reduce the maintenance frequency.
[0036] The through-type connection structure between the connecting pipe 221 and the pipe body 110 optimizes the water flow channel, reduces pressure loss, and provides stable mechanical support for the overall structure.
[0037] Furthermore, the load-bearing mechanism 100 also includes a pipe clamp 120 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the pipe body 110, and a fixing seat 130 fixedly installed at the bottom of the pipe clamp 120.
[0038] The coordinated fixing structure of the pipe clamp 120 and the fixing seat 130 enables the bearing mechanism 100 to have excellent installation stability and impact resistance, and adapt to long-term stable operation under various complex working conditions.
[0039] In use, when water flows into the system through the pipe 110, it first drives the vortex wheel 223 of the anti-clogging component 220 to rotate, generating centrifugal disturbance; at the same time, air enters the aeration mechanism 200 through the internal thread base 210, and the airflow forms a rotating vortex when passing through the oblique hole 240, which drives the umbrella-shaped elastic diaphragm 250 to open and close periodically, achieving uniform aeration and removing the attached substances through mechanical vibration; the dynamic seal of the quick-release top cover 230 and the sealing ring 280 ensures airtightness, while the continuous rotation of the vortex wheel 223 and the stabilizing disk 224 work together to maintain water flow stability, and finally releases fully mixed microbubbles through the aeration micropores 260, completing the efficient anti-clogging aeration process.
[0040] In summary, the support mechanism 100 provides a stable installation foundation, the inclined holes 240 in the aeration mechanism 200 utilize airflow to create vortex disturbances, preventing particle deposition, and the umbrella-shaped elastic diaphragm 250 is made of EPDM rubber to form an umbrella-shaped deformable diaphragm. When air is supplied, the pores expand to release air, and when air is cut off, the diaphragm rebounds and contracts, using mechanical extrusion to peel off the attached material. This achieves automatic airflow adjustment and anti-clogging function during aeration, while also facilitating quick disassembly and maintenance, significantly improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.
