[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the invention.

[0023] A biomimetic shellfish purification device with upward flow aeration includes a shell 13, which is composed of an upper shell 11, a lower shell 12, and a connector 5. The upper shell 11 is connected to the lower shell 12 via the connector 5. An inlet 10 is provided on the front edge of the inner cavity of the shell 13. A filter device 1 is provided on the inlet 10, and a water passage 2 is provided on the rear side of the filter device 1. Aeration devices 4 are arranged in an array on the upper surface of the lower end of the water passage 2, and a nutrient solution input pipe 3 is provided on the lower surface of the water passage 2. A drain outlet 8 is provided at the top of the shell 13. A microbial carrier 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the shell 13. The fixed angle between the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 is in the range of 10-45°. A filter screen 9 is provided on the drain outlet 8. The filter device 1 uses a special anti-clogging filter head; a waterproof lamp 7 is provided above the inner cavity of the shell 13; the aeration device 4 uses any one of the known membrane disc microporous aerator, vortex aerator, microporous aeration tube, aeration disc, or array controllable nano dissolved oxygen disc; the filter screen 9 has a pore diameter range of 10-50cm; the microbial solid carrier 6 is composed of activated carbon, shale ceramsite, sand, slag, steel slag, and metal slag arranged according to the principle of downward weight and upward weight; the shell 13 is shaped to mimic the shape of a natural clam, scallop, pearl oyster, or mussel.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the shell 13 is shaped to mimic the shape of a natural mussel, with an angle of 10° between the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12. The drain outlet 8 protrudes above the horizontal plane, and the bottom of the shell 13 is buried in the bottom layer of the water body for fixation. The filter device 1 uses a special anti-clogging filter head, which has high pressure resistance, is not broken by stepping, has a firm connection, and does not clog or accumulate mud. When water flows from the outer edge of the inner cavity of the shell 13 through the inlet 10 and through the filter device 1 to the water passage 2, it has a certain interception effect on pollutants, and suspended matter with larger particle sizes in the incoming water is intercepted.

[0026] An aeration device 4 is provided on the upper surface of the lower end of the water passage 2. In this embodiment, the aeration device 4 is a dissolved oxygen disc, and there are 4 of them arranged in an array. The aeration is upward, so that the aeration gas is fully mixed with the water and forms a horizontal upward flow. A nutrient solution input pipe 3 is provided on the lower surface of the lower end of the water passage 2 to provide a nutrient source for the microorganisms attached to the microbial carrier 6.

[0027] The microbial solid carrier 6 is composed of activated carbon, shale ceramsite, sand, slag, steel slag, and metal slag arranged according to the principle of downward weight and upward weight. Waste is utilized as a resource. It has a large specific surface area, can accommodate a large number of microorganisms, and has the characteristics of high volumetric load.

[0028] The microbial solid carrier 6 fills the inner cavity of the shell 13. When the gas-water mixture passes through the microbial solid carrier 6, on the one hand, some pollutants are removed by the action of microorganisms. On the other hand, a large number of microorganisms grow on the microbial solid carrier 6. The viscous substances such as polysaccharides and esters produced by the metabolism of microorganisms play an adsorption bridging role, which binds with suspended particles and colloidal particles to form fine flocs. These flocs are removed by contact flocculation, resulting in excellent water purification treatment effect and ensuring the stability of the effluent.

[0029] The purified water is discharged from the drain outlet 8, which is equipped with a filter screen 9. The filter screen 9 has a hole diameter of 10cm, which can prevent other aquatic organisms and marine debris in the water from entering the shell 13 and damaging the internal structure of the device.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the shell 13 is shaped to mimic the shape of a natural clam. The angle between the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 is 45°. The drain outlet 8 is exposed above the horizontal plane. The bottom of the shell 13 is buried in the bottom layer of the water body for fixation. The filter device 1 adopts a special anti-clogging filter head. This filter head has high pressure resistance, is not broken by stepping or bumping, has a firm connection, and does not clog or accumulate mud. When the water flows from the outer edge of the inner cavity of the shell 13 through the inlet 10 and through the filter device 1 to the water passage 2, it has a certain interception effect on pollutants. Larger suspended particles in the inlet water are intercepted.

[0032] An aeration device 4 is provided on the upper surface of the lower end of the water passage 2. In this embodiment, the aeration device 4 is a dissolved oxygen disc, and there are 4 of them arranged in an array. The aeration is upward, so that the aeration gas is fully mixed with the water and forms a horizontal upward flow. A nutrient solution input pipe 3 is provided on the lower surface of the lower end of the water passage 2 to provide a nutrient source for the microorganisms attached to the microbial carrier 6.

[0033] The microbial solid carrier 6 is composed of activated carbon, shale ceramsite, sand, slag, steel slag, and metal slag arranged according to the principle of downward weight and upward weight. Waste is utilized as a resource. It has a large specific surface area, can accommodate a large number of microorganisms, and has the characteristics of high volumetric load.

[0034] The microbial solid carrier 6 fills the inner cavity of the shell 13. When the gas-water mixture passes through the microbial solid carrier 6, on the one hand, some pollutants are removed by the action of microorganisms. On the other hand, a large number of microorganisms grow on the microbial solid carrier 6. The viscous substances such as polysaccharides and esters produced by the metabolism of microorganisms play an adsorption bridging role, which binds with suspended particles and colloidal particles to form fine flocs. These flocs are removed by contact flocculation, resulting in excellent water purification treatment effect and ensuring the stability of the effluent.

[0035] The purified water is discharged from the drain outlet 8, which is equipped with a filter screen 9. The filter screen 9 has a hole diameter of 50cm, which can prevent other aquatic organisms and marine debris in the water from entering the shell 13 and damaging the internal structure of the device.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
