Detailed Embodiments

[0026] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. Embodiment 1

[0027] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, an anti-interference automatic sampling device for sedimentation tanks includes a monitoring module 1, a sampling module 2, a fixing module 3, a sample storage module 4, and a control module 5. The monitoring module 1, sampling module 2, fixing module 3, and sample storage module 4 are arranged in a top-down order. The fixing module 3 fixes the device body to the inner wall of the overflow weir of the sedimentation tank, and the control module 5 controls the autonomous operation of the device body.

[0028] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, the monitoring module 1 includes a warning light 6 and a monitoring probe 7. The monitoring probe 7 is fixed above the warning light 6. The sampling module 2 is composed of a water distributor 8, a filter 9, a sampling main pipe 10, and a cover plate 11. The filter 9 is located inside the water distributor 8. The sampling main pipe 10 is located at the center of the water distributor 8. The cover plate 11 is located above the water distributor 8. The monitoring module 1 is fixed at the center of the cover plate 11.

[0029] As Figure 3 shown in the figure, the fixing module 3 is composed of an A-shaped arm 12 and a backing plate 13. One end of the A-shaped arm 12 is connected to the sampling main pipe 10, and the backing plate 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the overflow weir of the sedimentation tank.

[0030] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, the sample storage module 4 includes a sample cabinet 14, a cabinet door 15, a sampling tray 16, sample bottles 17, and a rotating motor 18. A lock 19 is provided on the cabinet door 15. The sample bottles 17 are fixed on the sampling tray 16. The sampling tray 16 is fixed inside the sample cabinet 14 through a base 20. The rotating motor 18 drives the sampling tray 16 and the sample bottles 17 to rotate through a stepping chain 21. Specifically, a driven gear ring can be set at the bottom of the sampling tray 16, and the driven gear ring meshes with a driving gear. The driving gear is driven by the rotating motor 18 and the stepping chain 21. The sample cabinet 14 is connected to the bottom of the sampling main pipe 10 through a sampling branch pipe 22. A sampling solenoid valve 23 is provided on the sampling branch pipe 22. A diversion pipe 24 is also connected to the bottom of the sampling main pipe 10. The water outlet of the diversion pipe 24 is communicated with the water outlet of the sedimentation tank. A diversion solenoid valve 25 is provided on the diversion pipe 24. The sampling branch pipe 22 is opposite to the diversion pipe 24 and forms an inverted Y-shaped structure with the sampling main pipe 10. A sampling flap 26 is also provided between the sampling branch pipe 22 and the sampling main pipe 10. The sampling flap 26 is controlled to rotate by a sampling motor 27. A diversion flap 28 is also provided between the diversion pipe 24 and the sampling main pipe 10. The diversion flap 28 is controlled to rotate by a diversion motor 29. The sampling motor 27 and the diversion motor 29 are coaxial and opposite, and are located on both sides of the Y-shaped bifurcation of the sampling main pipe 10. The control module 5 is arranged on the cabinet door 15.

[0031] Specifically, the warning light 6 is in a long flashing mode, and the monitoring probe 7 is a pair of ultra-wide-angle cameras, which can achieve continuous 24-hour monitoring with a monitoring angle of 0 to 360 degrees.

[0032] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, the water divider 8 is in the shape of an inverted and truncated equilateral triangular pyramid, with a hollow interior and triangular serrations on its three sides, so that the wastewater in the sedimentation tank can enter the interior of the water divider 8 by means of overflow; the shape of the cover plate 11 is the same as that of the water divider, being an upright and truncated equilateral triangular pyramid, with a covering area larger than that of the water divider to prevent human interference in the device sampling process.

[0033] Specifically, the inner wall of the water divider is also provided with a water dividing line 30 that protrudes upward, diverging from the center to the periphery in a ray shape, preventing the generation of foam due to the influence of height difference when the wastewater enters the water divider 8, thereby affecting the quality of the sampled water sample.

[0034] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, the filter 9 has the same shape as the water divider 8, including a horizontal skirt 31 and a vertical filter screen 32. The skirt 31 fixes the filter 9 to the inner wall of the water divider 8, and the filter screen 32 can filter out particulate suspended matter in the wastewater, with a filtering size of 50 millimeters for the filter screen.

[0035] Specifically, after the device is installed, the monitoring module 1, the sampling module 2, and the fixing module 3 are located inside the sedimentation tank, while the sample storage module 4 and the control module 5 are located outside the sedimentation tank. The sampling branch pipe 22 and the shunt pipe 24 introduce the wastewater in the water divider 8 into the sampling bottle located outside the tank and discharge it outside the tank respectively.

[0036] Specifically, the cabinet door 15 is linked with the monitoring module 1. When the cabinet door 15 is opened abnormally, the monitoring module 1 will automatically alarm.

[0037] Specifically, the outlet of the sampling branch pipe is in a conical shape and is directly above the mouth of one of the sample bottles, with a distance of 5 millimeters from the mouth of the sample bottle.

[0038] Specifically, the sampling flap 26 is semicircular and is embedded in the main sampling pipe 10, and the shunt flap 28 is also semicircular and is embedded in the main sampling pipe 10. Among them, the rotation angle of the sampling flap 26 is 0 to 90 degrees, and the angle of the shunt flap 28 is 0 to 180 degrees. When the sampling flap 26 and the shunt flap 28 are working, the included angle between the two is ≥90 degrees.

[0039] The various modules of the anti-interference automatic sampling device for sedimentation tanks according to the present invention operate in the following manner:

[0040] 1. After the device is installed in place and powered on as a whole, the warning light 6 and the monitoring probe 7 start to operate;

[0041] 2. The sampling motor 27 fastens the sampling flap 26, the sampling flap 26 closes horizontally, and the sampling solenoid valve 23 closes;

[0042] 3. The shunt solenoid valve 25 opens, and the shunt motor 29 drives the shunt flap 28 to rotate clockwise by 90 degrees and then fastens it;

[0043] 4. The wastewater in the sedimentation tank overflows into the water distributor 8, and then under the action of gravity, it enters the sampling main pipeline 10 along the inner wall of the water distributor 8 through the filter screen 32. The large-particle suspended substances in the wastewater are intercepted by the filter screen 32 at the skirt 31 of the filter 9, and the foam generated by the flowing wastewater breaks under the action of the water diversion line 30;

[0044] 5. The wastewater entering the sampling main pipeline 10 is all discharged through the shunt pipeline 24 under the guidance of the shunt flap 28 and the shunt solenoid valve 25;

[0045] 6. When the sampling time point is reached, the control module 5 controls the sampling solenoid valve 23 to open, the sampling motor 27 drives the sampling flap 26 to rotate clockwise by 10 degrees, a certain amount of suspended-substance-free wastewater in the sampling main pipeline 10 enters the sampler bottle 17 in the sample cabinet 14 through the sampling branch pipeline 22, and a large amount of wastewater in the sampling main pipeline 10 is discharged through the shunt pipeline 24;

[0046] 7. After one sampling is completed, the control module 5 controls the sampling motor 27 to drive the sampling flap 26 to rotate counterclockwise to reset and fasten, the sampling solenoid valve 23 closes, and the rotating motor 18 in the sample cabinet 14 drives the sampling disk 16 to rotate through the stepping chain 21, so that the empty sample bottle 17 is aligned with the water outlet of the sampling branch pipeline 22, waiting for the next sampling window to open;

[0047] 8. When an external force uses unconventional means to open the sample cabinet 14 to replace the sampled sample, the control module 5 will issue an alarm. Embodiment 2

[0048] As Figure 7 shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is only that: the shapes of the water distributor 8, the filter 9 and the cover plate 11 are square; there is no water diversion line 30 on the inner wall of the water distributor 8.

[0049] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the protection scope of the present invention in any form. Any technical solutions obtained by means of equivalent replacement and the like all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0050] The parts not involved in the present invention are the same as or can be implemented by the prior art.
