AI Technical Summary
Existing geothermal tailwater reinjection devices suffer from poor filtration due to the presence of large amounts of silt and minerals in the geothermal tailwater, which easily leads to blockage of reinjection pipes and wells, resulting in the loss of reinjection function.
A device including a filter, a water pump and a recharge pipe was designed. The filter is equipped with a filter bag cage and filter bags. A vortex is formed through multiple clean water outlet pipes. Combined with the centrifugal effect of the turbine, impurities are prevented from accumulating on the pipe wall. The internal pressure is monitored by a pressure gauge to prevent the filter bag from being damaged.
It effectively reduces the adsorption of impurities on the filter bag, prevents the reinjection pipe from becoming clogged, and ensures the effectiveness and long-term operational stability of geothermal tailwater reinjection.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of geothermal water wells, in particular to a geothermal tail water reinjection device. Background Art
[0002] Geothermal energy is renewable heat from deep within the Earth, originating from the decay of molten magma and radioactive materials. Deep groundwater circulation and the intrusion of magma from deep within the Earth's crust carry heat from deep underground to near the surface. Humans utilize geothermal energy by drilling geothermal wells, bringing it to the surface in the form of hot water or steam. Currently, geothermal energy is widely used for power generation, heating, greenhouses, aquaculture, rehabilitation medicine, chemical raw material extraction, tourism, and bottled mineral water. While extraction is increasing, much of the extracted geothermal water is discharged to the surface, causing thermal and chemical pollution. This also causes the static water level in geothermal wells to drop annually. This long-term trend will inevitably lead to waste and depletion of geothermal water. As the only medium for developing deep geothermal energy, geothermal water is limited by the head capacity and economic efficiency of submersible pumps. When the water level drops below a certain depth, extracting geothermal energy becomes economically unviable, and the utilized heat energy at this point represents only a few ten-thousandths of the reservoir's total thermal reserves. In order to avoid thermal and chemical pollution caused by direct discharge of geothermal wastewater and to maintain the heat storage pressure, geothermal tailwater needs to be recharged. However, existing geothermal tailwater recharge devices have the following defects:
[0003] Although the existing geothermal tail water reinjection device has added filtering equipment, the geothermal tail water contains too much sediment and ore, and the filtering effect is poor, which can easily cause the reinjection pipe and reinjection well to be blocked, making the geothermal tail water reinjection ineffective. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a geothermal tailwater reinjection device to solve the above problems.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a geothermal tailwater reinjection device, comprising a filter, a water pump, and a reinjection pipe connected in sequence by pipelines; the filter comprises a filter chamber, a filter bag cage is provided in the filter chamber, and a filter bag is wrapped on the outside of the filter bag cage; a sealing cover is provided on the top of the filter chamber, a tailwater inlet pipe is provided on the side wall of the filter chamber, and the filter bag cage is located below the tailwater inlet pipe; a plurality of clean water outlet pipes are evenly arranged on the side wall of the filter chamber in a circumferential direction, and the ends of the plurality of clean water outlet pipes are connected to a water collecting chamber, a main outlet pipe is provided on the water collecting chamber, and the main outlet pipe is connected to the water pump inlet; the axis of the clean water outlet pipe does not intersect with the axis of the filter chamber; the axis of the clean water outlet pipe is located in the middle of the filter bag cage; a turbine is provided for rotation in the reinjection pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, a limiting rod for limiting the axial movement of the filter bag cage frame is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover.
[0007] Furthermore, a fixing device for fixing the sealing cover to the top of the filter cavity is provided on the top of the filter cavity.
[0008] Furthermore, the sealing cover is provided with a pressure gauge for monitoring the internal pressure of the filter cavity.
[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the recharging pipe are provided with fixing frames; and both ends of the turbine are connected to the fixing frames via bearings.
[0010] Furthermore, the fixing device includes a swing bolt hinged to the top of the filter chamber and a lifting eye nut matched with the swing bolt.
[0011] The present invention forms a vortex inside the filter chamber through a plurality of evenly arranged purified water outlet pipes, effectively slowing down the adsorption of impurities on the filter bag. At the same time, a pressure gauge is provided to monitor the internal pressure to prevent excessive pressure from causing impurities to burst the filter bag and cause impurities to be lost. A turbine is provided in the recharge pipe, and the water flow rate impacts the turbine, driving the turbine to rotate. The turbine causes the water to produce a centrifugal effect, changes the direction of the water flow, and radially impacts the pipe wall, preventing fine impurities in the water from gathering on the pipe wall and clogging the recharge pipe.
