Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a water purification system that can effectively improve and purify the water quality of rivers or lakes by utilizing the aeration function of a water wheel. In particular, it is a technology regarding a water purification system utilizing the aeration function of a water wheel that can significantly improve water purification performance by improving the structure of a bucket having air pockets and water pockets in the water wheel, and thereby simultaneously maintain environmental protection and ecosystem health. Background Technology

[0002] Nutrients, consisting of phosphorus, nitrogen, and organic matter from phosphates in detergents, livestock, and industrial wastewater, form the bodies of phytoplankton and algae and are the basic factors in the proliferation of red tides and green tides, and more than 80% of these nutrients flow in from land.

[0003] In particular, red tides and green algae blooms are mostly caused by large amounts of fish excrement and feed residues from polluted rivers, streams, and offshore aquaculture farms.

[0004] In addition, red tides and green tides spread through mass proliferation when sunlight increases and nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and iron (Fe) are high, and when the water temperature is maintained at 20 to 25°C. Also, since red tides and green tides occurring in the ocean undergo photosynthetic metabolism, they proliferate and spread along with rising water temperatures and eutrophication during the summer season when sunlight increases.

[0005] Ultimately, the occurrence of red tides and green algae causes fish mortality and oxygen depletion in the marine ecosystem by adhering to and suffocating the gills of fish; furthermore, the carcasses of red and green algae act as organic matter in aquatic systems, contributing to oxygen depletion during metabolic processes by microorganisms, which serves as a fatal factor for fish and shellfish.

[0006] Water purification technologies capable of suppressing or eliminating the occurrence of such red tides and green algae include:

[0007] Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1028175 (registered on April 1, 2011, hereinafter referred to as 'Literature 1') presents a "ship-type red tide and green algae removal device having a loess spraying function,"

[0008] Literature 1 describes a technology for a ship-type red tide and green algae removal device having a red tide and green algae spraying function, which is configured to rapidly remove red tide and green algae by forcibly lowering surface water and dispersing it into the deep sea while spraying red tide and green algae, comprising: a buoyancy plate installed on a ship and floating on the sea surface; a lowering means installed in multiple numbers on the lower part of the buoyancy plate and pushing surface water into the lower part of the sea; and a red tide liquid spraying device that supplies red tide liquid to the lowering means of the buoyancy plate, wherein the red tide liquid spraying device is configured to include: a mixing tank installed inside the ship and into which red tide is introduced; a water supply pump that sucks in seawater and introduces it into the mixing tank; a spray pump that sprays the red tide liquid stirred in the mixing tank to the outside; a discharge pipe connected to the outlet of the spray pump and embedded in the buoyancy plate; and nozzles installed in multiple numbers on the discharge pipe.

[0009] As another technology, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0045863 (published May 4, 2011, hereinafter referred to as 'Document 2') “Lake Purification Device” is disclosed,

[0010] Literature 2 describes a technology for a lake purification device comprising: a plurality of water wheels installed so as to rotate with their lower portions submerged to a certain depth in the lake water to aerate the surface of the lake; a plurality of ejector pumps each installed in the surrounding water of the plurality of water wheels to circulate water; and a free electron and radical generator that discharges free electrons and radicals through the drains of the plurality of ejector pumps to oxidize and treat pollutants contained in the water discharged through the drains of the plurality of ejector pumps. Since the lower portions of the plurality of water wheels are installed so as to rotate with their lower portions submerged to a certain depth in the lake water, the amount of dissolved oxygen can be increased as the surface of the lake is aerated when the plurality of water wheels rotate. Furthermore, the lake landscape can be made more beautiful due to the plurality of water wheels, and the free electron and radical generator discharges free electrons and radicals through the drains of the plurality of ejector pumps to more easily oxidize and treat pollutants contained in the water discharged through the drains of the plurality of ejector pumps, thereby more easily purifying stagnant water such as a lake.

[0011] Another technology is presented in the “Algae Removal Device” of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1584608 (registered on January 6, 2016, hereinafter referred to as ‘Literature 3’),

[0012] Literature 3 describes a technology for an algae removal device that efficiently removes algae without ecological pollution caused by coagulants by sucking and filtering algae, such as green algae or red algae, floating on surface water in lakes or rivers, by including: a suction module positioned on the water surface and configured to suck in surface water containing algae; a suction unit connected to the suction module through a suction pipe and equipped with a driving pump that generates suction force in the suction module; and a filter unit connected to the suction pipe of the suction unit that introduces surface water and filters the algae residue contained in the surface water while simultaneously allowing the water to be drained.

[0013] Another technology is disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1221579 (registered on January 7, 2013, hereinafter referred to as 'Literature 4'), titled "Device for removing green algae and red tide equipped on a ship."

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0045863 (Published May 04, 2011) Reference 3. Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1584608 (Registered Jan. 06, 2016) Reference 4. Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1221579 (Registered Jan. 07, 2013) The problem to be solved

[0016] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water purification system utilizing the aeration function of a water wheel, which can significantly improve the growth environment in stagnant water bodies such as rivers, seas, lakes, and reservoirs where it is difficult for aquatic organisms to survive due to red tides or green tides caused by low oxygen concentrations, by continuously supplying oxygen to the water using the aeration function of the water wheel.

[0017] Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide a water purification system utilizing the aeration function of a water wheel, which can effectively decompose organic matter in water through oxygen injection and water flow, thereby preventing the phenomenon where organic matter accumulates without being decomposed and water quality deteriorates.

[0018] Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide a water purification system utilizing the aeration function of a water wheel, which minimizes energy consumption by utilizing dripping water or natural water flow, improves water quality in an eco-friendly manner by using mechanical methods and natural water flow instead of chemical substances, and enables efficient operation in various environments such as flowing rivers or seas as well as stagnant water bodies. means of solving the problem

[0019] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a water quality purification system utilizing the aeration function of a water wheel according to an example of the present invention is,

[0020] A water wheel comprising a wheel supported to rotate by a support installed on a vessel, and a plurality of buckets arranged at equal intervals along the outer surface of the wheel, wherein some of the buckets are arranged to be submerged in water; and a first water feeder or a second water feeder for rotating the water wheel using falling water; wherein each bucket is characterized by having a U-shaped cross-sectional structure and an open structure with both ends closed. Effects of the invention

[0021] A water quality purification system utilizing the aeration function of a water wheel according to the present invention is,

[0022] As the water wheel rotates, the water is continuously mixed, and this allows more oxygen to flow into the water. This effectively supplies the oxygen necessary for the aquatic ecosystem and helps significantly improve water quality by decomposing organic matter.

[0023] In addition, since the water wheel is rotated using dripping water or pressure pumps, water purification can be performed with relatively little energy, and this method has the advantage of protecting the environment in a sustainable way.

[0024] In addition, as the bucket with a U-shaped cross-sectional structure rotates, it draws in air above the water surface and disperses it into the water, thereby increasing the oxygen concentration in the water. This effectively eliminates red tides and green algae, significantly improving the survival environment for aquatic organisms.

[0025] In addition, the system can be installed and operated in various environments depending on the structure of the water turbine and the characteristics of the water feeder, and additional devices such as water bomb units or auxiliary water turbines can further enhance water purification performance.

[0026] In addition, the components are designed to be simple and modular, making maintenance easy and enabling stable operation over a long period. Brief explanation of the drawing

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0028] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0029] Prior to this, terms and words used in this specification and claims should not be interpreted as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted in a meaning and concept consistent with the technical spirit of the invention, based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of the terms to best describe his invention. Accordingly, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings are merely one preferred embodiment of the invention and do not represent all of the technical spirit of the invention; therefore, it should be understood that various equivalents and modifications capable of replacing them may exist at the time of filing this application.

[0030] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 11, a water quality purification system using the aeration function of a water wheel according to the present invention comprises:

[0031] It is largely composed of a water wheel (10) and a water feeder.

[0032] If we look at each component,

[0033] The above water wheel (10)

[0034] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5,

[0035] A wheel (11) that is supported to rotate by a support installed on the ship (1), and

[0036] A plurality of buckets (12) arranged at equal intervals along the outer surface of the wheel (11)

[0037] It consists of including

[0038] At this time, the above water wheel (10) is positioned so that some of the above buckets (12) are submerged in water.

[0039] And each of the above buckets (12) has a U-shaped cross-sectional structure and is formed as an open structure with both ends closed.

[0040] Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each bucket (12) according to one example has a U-shaped cross-sectional structure having an air pocket (121) and is formed to be open in the opposite direction toward the center of the wheel (11) as both ends are blocked by walls (122), and each bucket (12) has a water pocket (123) formed on the outer side corresponding to the opposite direction of rotation of the wheel (11).

[0041] The above air pocket (121) serves to trap air and diffuse it into the water, which plays an important role in increasing the oxygen concentration in the water through aeration.

[0042] The above water pocket (123) is a space for holding falling water, and as the wheel (11) rotates due to the held falling water, the air pocket (121) in which air is trapped can be submerged in water.

[0043] In particular, each of the above buckets (12) is open only in one direction, that is, in the opposite direction toward the center of the wheel (11), as both ends are blocked by the wall (122), so that air can be efficiently trapped in the air pocket (121) and efficiently mixed with water when submerged in water.

[0044] And the above vessel (1) can be specified as a barge, but is not limited thereto and can be various sailing structures that satisfy the conditions for carrying and transporting the above water wheel (10) and using it.

[0045] Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, each bucket (12) according to another example has a U-shaped cross-sectional structure having a water pocket (123') and is formed to be open in a tangential direction on the rotational track of the wheel (11) as both ends are blocked by a wall (122'), but is formed to be open in the opposite direction of rotation of the wheel (11), and a sub-bucket (13) is formed that is connected to the end of each bucket (12) and is opened in the direction of rotation of the wheel (11) to have an air pocket (121').

[0046] The opening structure of each bucket (12) is formed to open tangentially on the rotational track of the wheel (11), and the opening structure of the sub-bucket (13) is formed to open in the direction opposite to the rotational direction of the wheel (11), that is, the opening direction of the bucket (12), thereby distinguishing the inflow structure of the falling water and air, and optimizing their respective roles so that the flow of water and air moves naturally through the rotation of the wheel (11), enabling efficient power transmission.

[0047] The above water feeder is intended to rotate the above water wheel (10) using falling water, and is broadly divided into a water feeder of a first embodiment and a water feeder of a second embodiment. Hereinafter, the water feeder of the first embodiment will be referred to as the first water feeder and its reference numeral will be '20A', and the water feeder of the second embodiment will be referred to as the second water feeder and its reference numeral numeral will be '20B'.

[0048] The above first water feeder (20A) is

[0049] As shown in Fig. 6,

[0050] A hole (21) formed by excavating vertically into the bottom surface of the water,

[0051] The outer pipe (22) of the steel pipe placed in the above-mentioned excavation hole (21),

[0052] An inner pipe (23) of a corrugated pipe that is disposed within the outer pipe (22) and has a plurality of flow holes (231) inside and out,

[0053] A drawing pipe (24) connected to the inner pipe (23) and having an outlet facing the bucket (12) of the water wheel (10), and

[0054] A withdrawal pump (25) placed on the withdrawal pipe (24)

[0055] It consists of including

[0056] At this time, the above-mentioned excavation hole (21) is a hole drilled vertically into the bottom of the water, i.e., the bottom surface, using an excavator, and groundwater flows into the above-mentioned excavation hole (21).

[0057] And as shown in FIG. 6, the outer pipe (22) is made of a hollow cylindrical steel pipe and is inserted into the excavation hole (21) and fixedly installed, thereby maintaining the shape of the excavation hole (21) and protecting the inner pipe (23).

[0058] And as shown in FIG. 6, the inner pipe (23) is formed as a pipe structure having a plurality of circulation holes (231) formed through the inside and outside, and groundwater that has flowed into the outer pipe (22) through each of the circulation holes (231) flows into the inner pipe (23).

[0059] Here, foreign substances with a diameter larger than that of each of the above-mentioned distribution holes (231) are filtered out and cannot pass through each of the above-mentioned distribution holes (231), while groundwater that does not contain large foreign substances passes through and flows into the above-mentioned inner pipe (23).

[0060] In addition, the inner pipe (23) may be formed as a straight pipe structure, but it is most preferable to have a corrugated pipe structure to maximize the number of each distribution hole (231).

[0061] And the above-mentioned withdrawal pump (25) is a water pump for a water pump and can be fixedly installed on the vessel (1) by means of a separate support member, etc.

[0062] Therefore, by drawing up the groundwater inside the inner pipe (22) through the above-mentioned extraction pump (25) and passing it through the above-mentioned extraction pipe (24), and then allowing the groundwater to fall from the outlet of the above-mentioned extraction pipe (24), the above-mentioned water wheel (10) rotates and traps air using the air pockets (121, 121') of each bucket (12), and then diffuses the air into the water when it is submerged. Ultimately, this allows for drawing up groundwater of good quality and supplying it to areas with severe red tide or green algae to purify the water quality.

[0063] The above second water feeder (20B) is

[0064] As shown in Fig. 7,

[0065] A pressure pipe (26) having an extendable structure and a water outlet positioned toward the bucket (12) of the above water wheel (10),

[0066] A pressure pump (27) placed on the pressure pipe (26), and

[0067] A buoyancy body (28) that causes the inlet of the above-mentioned pressure pipe (26) to be submerged in water while floating the inlet side of the above-mentioned pressure pipe (26) on the water surface.

[0068] It consists of including

[0069] At this time, the above-mentioned pressure pipe (26) may be formed as a single pipe structure having a certain length, but it is most preferable that it be a structure in which multiple pipes are connected by couplers to extend the length so as to respond to the installation environment and conditions.

[0070] And the above pressure pump (27), like the above withdrawal pump (25), can be fixedly installed on the vessel (1) by means of a separate support member, etc. as a water pump for a water pump.

[0071] And as shown in FIG. 7, the buoyancy body (28) may be made of styrofoam that can float on water or a body sealed with air inside, and the buoyancy body (28) is provided with a holder (281) that can hold and fix an adjacent part from the inlet of the pressure pipe (26).

[0072] Ultimately, the above buoyancy body (28) causes the inlet of the above pressure pipe (26) to be submerged vertically in the water, while allowing the adjacent part of the inlet to always float on the water surface.

[0073] In addition, by providing a plurality of the above-mentioned buoyancy bodies (28), the buoyancy bodies (28) can be arranged at regular intervals in the remaining areas so that the remaining areas, excluding the inlet of the above-mentioned pipe (26) that is submerged in the water surface and the outlet of the above-mentioned pipe (26) that is positioned toward the water wheel (10) installed on the above-mentioned vessel (1), can float on the water surface.

[0074] Therefore, by drawing water from the inlet side of the pressure pipe (26) through the pressure pump (27) and causing it to fall from the outlet of the pressure pipe (26), the water wheel (10) rotates and traps air using the air pockets (121, 121') of each bucket (12), and then diffuses the air into the water when it is submerged. Ultimately, this allows water to be forcibly drawn from a surrounding body of water where red tide or green tide is less severe or not severe, and supplied to an area where red tide or green tide is severe, thereby purifying the water quality.

[0075] Meanwhile, the water purification system according to the present invention further includes a water bomb unit (30) and an auxiliary water wheel (40).

[0076] The above water bomb unit (30) is

[0077] As shown in Fig. 8,

[0078] It is intended to temporarily store the dripping water and then supply the water bomb to the bucket (12) of the above water wheel (10) all at once.

[0079] A branch pipe (31) for branching the falling water from the first water feeder (20A) or the second water feeder (20B), and

[0080] A basket (32) that is positioned at the lower side of the outlet of the branch pipe (31) and rotates to supply water bombs to the bucket (12) of the water wheel (10) when a certain amount of drip water is filled.

[0081] It consists of including

[0082] At this time, the branch pipe (31) is formed as a pipe structure that branches off from the outlet of the withdrawal pipe (24) of the first water feeder (20A) or the outlet of the pressure pipe (26) of the second water feeder (20B), and the branch pipe (31) may be further equipped with a solenoid valve, etc., for controlling the flow of water.

[0083] And the basket (32) is an upwardly open cylindrical structure, and a shaft (321) is eccentrically connected to the basket (32) so that the basket (32) can rotate, and both ends of the shaft (321) are rotatably supported by a pair of posts (322), and each post (322) is fixedly installed on the vessel (1).

[0084] Here, as shown in [a] of FIG. 8, the shaft (321) is coupled to the left or right at the midpoint of the upper and lower centerline (C) of the basket (32), and as shown in [b] of FIG. 8, when a certain amount of water is filled into the basket (32), the basket (32) is automatically tilted with respect to the shaft (321) so that the filled water falls all at once as a water bomb.

[0085] As these water bombs fall into the bucket (12) of the water wheel (10), they provide a greater rotational power than the rotational power of the water wheel generated by falling from the extraction pipe (24) or the pressure pipe (26), thereby enabling more air to be diffused into the water.

[0086] The above auxiliary water turbine (40) is

[0087] As illustrated in FIGS. 9 to 11,

[0088] Selective operation is possible, such as rotating in conjunction with the above water wheel (10) or stopping by releasing the linkage.

[0089] A side wheel (41) that is axially coupled to the axis of the wheel (11) in the above water wheel (10),

[0090] A plurality of side buckets (42) arranged at equal intervals along the outer surface of the above side wheel (41), and

[0091] A relay means (43) for transmitting the rotational power of the above wheel (11) to the side wheel (41) and releasing it.

[0092] It consists of including

[0093] At this time, as shown in Fig. 9, the side wheel (41) is coupled to the shaft of the wheel (11) in the water wheel (10) so as to rotate freely, that is, so that when the water wheel (10) rotates normally, the side wheel (41) does not rotate.

[0094] In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the side wheel (41) is formed with a structure corresponding to the wheel (11) of the water wheel (10), and each side bucket (42) placed thereon is also formed with a structure corresponding to the bucket (12) of the water wheel (10).

[0095] And as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the relay means (43) is composed of a disc-shaped disk (431) that extends from the center of the wheel (11) of the water turbine (10) toward the auxiliary water turbine (40) and has two or more radially spaced through holes (431a), a support (432) that extends from the center of the side wheel (41) of the auxiliary water turbine (40) toward the water turbine (10) and has two or more radially spaced horizontal guides (432a), and a disc-shaped sub-disk (433) that is slidably coupled on the axis of the wheel (11), is supported by each horizontal guide (432a) of the support (432), and has two or more inserts (433a) that are formed to protrude in correspondence with each of the through holes (431a).

[0096] Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 10, when the sub-disk (433) is pushed toward the disk (431), the insert (433a) of the sub-disk (433) is guided by the horizontal guide (432a) and inserted into the through hole (431a) of the disk (431), so that when the water wheel (10) rotates, the auxiliary water wheel (40) also rotates in conjunction.

[0097] And as shown in FIG. 11, the auxiliary water wheel (40) may be further provided with a locking means (44) to prevent separation between the two when the sub-disk (433) is in close contact with the disk (431).

[0098] The locking means (44) comprises two or more recessed grooves (441) formed radially on the surface of the disk (431) facing the wheel (11), two or more sub-recessed grooves (442) formed radially on the surface of the sub-disk (433) facing the side wheel (41) and positioned on the same horizontal line as each recessed groove (441), a bracket (443) fitted in a manner that wraps around the ends of the disk (431) and the sub-disk (433), and a locking pin (444) fitted into the bracket (443), each recessed groove (441), and the bracket (443) and each sub-recessed groove (442), respectively.

[0099] Ultimately, depending on the installation environment or conditions, it is possible to implement the auxiliary water turbine (40) so that it rotates together with the water turbine (10) when the water turbine (10) rotates.

[0100] In addition, a water supply pipe (not shown) may be further provided, branched separately from the outlet side of the withdrawal pipe (24) or the pressure pipe (26) respectively, toward the bucket (12) side of the water wheel (10), so that water can be supplied from the water supply pipe to the side bucket (42) side of the auxiliary water wheel (40) by using the opening and closing of a valve, etc., only when the auxiliary water wheel (40) is connected to the water wheel (10).

[0101] In describing the present invention above, the focus has been on a "water quality purification system utilizing the aeration function of a water wheel" having a specific shape and structure with reference to the attached drawings; however, the present invention is capable of various modifications and changes by those skilled in the art, and such modifications and changes should be interpreted as falling within the scope of protection of the present invention.
