[0013] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the bottom of the sand setting chamber and the cyclone chamber is provided with a sand discharge port.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. In the present application, the side wall of the cyclone desander is provided with two layers, a sand setting chamber is arranged between the two layers of side walls, a through hole is formed in the inner layer of side wall to communicate the sand setting chamber and the cyclone chamber, and an elastic baffle is arranged on the through hole to cover the through hole; in use, the sand-containing water flow enters the cyclone chamber of the cyclone desander from the water inlet under a certain pressure, due to the difference in density between sand and water, the same volume of sand has a larger mass than the same volume of water, so under the condition of the same volume and the same speed, the kinetic energy of sand is greater than that of water, the sand with greater kinetic energy in the sand-containing water flow pushes the elastic baffle to open the through hole and enter the sand setting chamber, so the water flow with a larger sand content enters the sand setting chamber and settles in the sand setting chamber; when the water flow and sand enter the sand setting chamber through the through hole, the water flow entering the sand setting chamber is slowed down by the blocking action of the elastic baffle, reducing the disturbance of the water flow to the sand particles, so that the sand particles are easily settled, the mud and sand not entering the sand setting chamber are separated in the cyclone chamber of the cyclone desander, the sand particles with large density fall along the inner layer of side wall under the action of their own gravity and are collected to the sand discharge port of the cyclone chamber, and are discharged through the sand discharge port; the water in the sand setting chamber is connected to the inlet pipe of the cyclone desander through the backflow pipe, and is again introduced into the cyclone desander through the water inlet pipe for recycling and sand removal, improving the sand removal effect.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a circulating sand removal device for irrigation water, including a cyclone sand separator, an inlet pipe 1 and an outlet pipe 3 disposed on the cyclone sand separator. The sidewall of the cyclone sand separator is configured with two layers, the inner sidewall 5 forming the cyclone cavity 9 of the cyclone sand separator, and a sand settling cavity 10 is formed between the inner sidewall 5 and the outer sidewall 6.

[0023] The vortex chamber 9 includes a cylindrical section and a conical section. The conical section is located below the cylindrical section, and its large-diameter end is connected to the cylindrical section. The large-diameter end of the conical section has the same diameter as the cylindrical section. The small-diameter end of the conical section is provided with a sand discharge port 11 for discharging sand particles from the vortex chamber 9. A sand discharge port 11 for discharging sand particles from the sedimentation chamber 10 is also provided at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber 10. A water inlet for supplying water to the vortex desander is opened on the side wall of the cylindrical section of the vortex chamber 9. The water inlet is located in the upper part of the cylindrical section and is connected to the water inlet pipe 1. Sand-laden water, used for irrigation, enters the vortex chamber 9 tangentially through the water inlet to form a vortex.

[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a plurality of through holes 23 are formed in the inner layer side wall 5, which communicate the rotational flow cavity 9 and the sand settling cavity 10. An elastic baffle 14 is arranged on the outer side of the inner layer side wall 5 and covers the through holes 23. The elastic baffle 14 and the through holes 23 are in one-to-one correspondence. The elastic baffle 14 and the through holes 23 are rectangular, and one vertical edge of the elastic baffle 14 is fixed to one side of the corresponding through hole 23. During use, the vertical edge of the elastic baffle 14 fixed to the inner layer side wall 5 is located upstream of the rotational flow. The elastic baffle 14 can be pushed away by the impact force of the sand-containing water flow to allow the sand-containing water flow to pass through, and the elastic baffle 14 restores to cover the through hole 23 when the impact force disappears or is smaller than the elastic force of the elastic baffle 14.

[0025] A spiral flow guide strip 15 is arranged on the inner side of the inner layer side wall 5. The flow guide strip 15 guides the sand-containing water entering the rotational flow cavity 9 to flow spirally along the flow guide strip 15, thereby enhancing the effect of rotational flow sand removal of the sand-containing water. The through holes 23 are arranged between adjacent flow guide strips 15 and uniformly distributed along the direction of the flow guide strip 15, thereby improving the efficiency of the spiral flow of the sand-containing water flow.

[0026] A water outlet is formed in the outer layer side wall 6 of the rotational flow sand remover and is connected to the water inlet pipe 1 through a reflux pipe 13 to circulate and remove sand from the water entering the sand settling cavity 10. The water outlet is arranged above 1 / 3 of the height of the outer layer side wall 6. In order to smoothly pass the water flow in the sand settling cavity 10 into the water inlet pipe 1, a booster pump 12 is arranged on the reflux pipe 13.

[0027] During use, the sand-containing water flow enters the rotational flow cavity 9 of the rotational flow sand remover from the water inlet at a certain pressure and in a tangential direction. Since the density of sand is different from that of water, the same volume of sand has a larger mass than the same volume of water. Therefore, under the condition of the same volume and the same speed, the kinetic energy of sand is greater than that of water. The sand with greater kinetic energy in the sand-containing water flow pushes the elastic baffle 14 to open the through hole 23 and enter the sand settling cavity 10, so that the water flow with a larger sand content enters the sand settling cavity 10 and settles in the sand settling cavity 10. When the water flow and sand enter the sand settling cavity 10 through the through hole 23, the water flow entering the sand settling cavity 10 is slowed down by the blocking action of the elastic baffle 14, which reduces the disturbance of the water flow to the sand particles, so that the sand particles are easily deposited. The mud and sand not entering the sand settling cavity 10 are separated in the rotational flow cavity 9 of the rotational flow sand remover. The sand particles with large density fall along the inner layer side wall 5 under the action of their own gravity and are collected to the sand discharge port 11 of the rotational flow cavity 9 and are discharged through the sand discharge port 11. The water in the sand settling cavity 10 is connected to the inlet pipe of the rotational flow sand remover through the reflux pipe 13 and is again passed into the rotational flow sand remover through the water inlet pipe 1 for circulation and sand removal, thereby improving the sand removal effect.

[0028] In order to further enhance the effect of the cyclone desanding, a stirring assembly is arranged on the top of the cyclone desander, which comprises a stirring cylinder 4 and a driving motor 2 for driving the stirring cylinder 4 to rotate. A circular hole is arranged at the center of the top of the cyclone desander, and the stirring cylinder 4 is arranged in the circular hole. The stirring cylinder 4 is a straight cylinder with an inner cavity, and the upper part of the stirring cylinder 4 extends out of the circular hole, and the lower part of the stirring cylinder 4 is inserted into the cyclone cavity 9 of the cyclone desander. As shown in Figure 2 the first rotating mechanism 16 is arranged between the outer wall of the stirring cylinder 4 and the hole wall of the circular hole, and the water outlet pipe 3 is inserted into the inner part of the stirring cylinder 4, and the second rotating mechanism 17 is arranged between the water outlet pipe 3 and the inner part of the stirring cylinder 4. The arrangement of the first rotating mechanism 16 and the second rotating mechanism 17 can avoid the interference of the stirring cylinder 4 with the water outlet pipe 3 and the wall of the cyclone desander when the stirring cylinder 4 rotates. The first rotating mechanism 16 and the second rotating mechanism 17 are both rotating bearings. In order to smoothly discharge the filtered water, the water outlet pipe 3 is provided with a water pump, and the water in the cyclone desander is pumped out by the water pump for irrigation.

[0029] As another embodiment of the first rotating mechanism 16 and the second rotating mechanism 17, the first rotating mechanism 16 and the second rotating mechanism 17 can also be arranged as rotating dynamic sealing structures. Because in the process of cyclone desanding, the water flow in the cyclone desander may overflow to the rotating bearing, which will affect the stirring work of the stirring cylinder 4 and the full use of water resources. The arrangement of the rotating dynamic sealing structure can avoid such influence. Due to the sealing effect of the rotating dynamic sealing structure, the separated water in the cyclone desander can also overflow through the water outlet pipe 3 for irrigation. The way of overflowing irrigation water through the water outlet pipe 3 can reduce the power of the water pump installed on the water outlet pipe 3 on the one hand, and avoid pumping out the unfiltered water from the cyclone desander by the water pump when pumping on the other hand.

[0030] The water outlet pipe 3 is fixed on the top of the cyclone desander through a support, and the part of the water outlet pipe 3 inserted into the stirring cylinder 4 and fixed on the cyclone desander is a hard pipe, which can facilitate the installation of the rotating dynamic sealing mechanism and the support. The support comprises a vertical rod 21 vertically fixed on the top of the cyclone desander, and a fixing ring 22 is arranged on the upper part of the vertical rod 21. The fixing ring 22 is sleeved on the water outlet pipe 3. The arrangement of the fixing ring 22 can avoid the shaking of the water outlet pipe 3 during water conveying, and also avoid the influence of the self-gravity of the water outlet pipe 3 on the working of the rotating dynamic sealing mechanism.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 the stirring rod 7 and the stirring paddle 8 can further enhance the rate of cyclone and improve the desanding effect.

[0032] The driving motor 2 drives the stirring drum 4 to rotate through a transmission assembly, which comprises a driving gear 19 connected to the driving motor 2 and a driven gear 18 fixed to the outer wall of the stirring drum 4 in the circumferential direction. The driving gear 19 is fixed to the output shaft 20 of the driving motor 2, the inner diameter of the driven gear 18 is consistent with the outer diameter of the stirring drum 4, the driven gear 18 is sleeved outside the stirring drum 4 and fixed to the stirring drum 4, and the driving gear 19 and the driven gear 18 are conical gears that mesh with each other. In use, the driving motor 2 drives the driving gear 19 to rotate. Since the driving gear 19 and the driven gear 18 are both conical gears, the reversing during gear transmission can be realized. The stirring drum 4 is driven to rotate through the rotation of the driven gear 18, the sand-containing water in the cyclone chamber 9 is stirred, the cyclone rate is enhanced, the sand particles are filtered through the cyclone chamber 9 and the sand settling chamber 10, the water flow in the cyclone chamber 9 is reversed in the conical section, flows from the bottom to the top of the conical section into the stirring drum 4, and is discharged through the water outlet pipe 3. After a period of use, the sand is discharged from the sand discharge port 11 by opening the sand removal port at the lower part of the cyclone chamber 9 and the sand settling chamber 10.
