Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a sedimentation tank scum removal device and its scum collection method and backwashing cleaning method. Background Technology

[0002] Sedimentation tanks are key equipment in the physicochemical treatment of water. Currently, sedimentation tanks include horizontal flow sedimentation tanks, inclined tube sedimentation tanks, and horizontal tube high-efficiency sedimentation tanks. Horizontal tube sedimentation tanks are currently the closest to the "Hazen" shallow layer theory of sedimentation tanks. They place the sedimentation tubes horizontally, allowing flow along a horizontal path, resulting in vertical separation of suspended solids, thus achieving both sedimentation and separation functions. The structure of a horizontal tube sedimentation tank consists of a flocculation zone, a rectification zone, a water distribution zone, a sedimentation zone, a water collection zone, and an effluent zone. During daily operation, due to factors such as algae in the raw water, excessive chemical dosage, and dust pollution in the air, chemical residues, dust, or foam often float on the water surface, affecting equipment operation and aesthetics, and in severe cases, potentially impacting the quality of the effluent.

[0003] Existing surface scum collectors use water flow to bring surface scum into a receiving chamber, where it is filtered and isolated by a floating debris collection net. However, during use, as the amount of scum collected increases, the scum isolated on the surface of the collection net can completely cover the net, even sealing it off. Once the scum accumulates to the point of sealing the collection net, the water pump can no longer effectively pump water, thus preventing the collection of more debris. Manual cleaning of the collection filter and the filter screen is required, posing certain safety hazards. Existing filtration and cleaning equipment is bulky, inconvenient to install, has poor reliability, requires frequent removal of scum from the net, and is inefficient and prone to leakage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scum removal device for sedimentation tanks and its scum collection method and backwash cleaning method, which solves the problems of the existing technology that require manual cleaning to collect and filter impurities and the safety issues when cleaning the filter screen, as well as the problems of existing cleaning equipment being large in size, inconvenient to install, having poor working reliability, requiring frequent removal of scum from the screen surface, having low working efficiency in cleaning scum on the water surface, and being prone to leakage.

Above the clean water inlet 205, there is an overflow weir 203 with an inverted conical structure. The upper diameter of the overflow weir 203 is smaller than the lower diameter. Only the clean water exceeding the overflow weir 203 is discharged, which helps to ensure that enough backwash water is stored. Above the overflow weir 203, there is a clean water outlet 204. The clean water outlet 204 is connected to the sedimentation tank outlet zone 413 through a pipe. The filtration zone 21 and the water storage zone 22 are isolated and sealed by a middle partition. The clean water in the filtration zone 21 enters the water storage zone 22 through the clean water valve 406 and the pipe.

[0043] The pipeline collection system 4 includes a collection pipeline 107. The outlet of the collection pipeline 107 is connected to the inlet of the first collection valve 401. The outlet of the first collection valve 401 is divided into two branches: one branch is connected to the inlet of the drive pump 403, and the other branch is connected to the inlet of the first backwash valve 404. The outlet of the drive pump 403 is also divided into two branches: one branch is connected to the inlet of the second collection valve 402, and the other branch is connected to the inlet of the second backwash valve 405.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] A method for collecting scum in a sedimentation tank scum cleaning device includes the following steps:

[0046] S1: Control system 3 receives a collection request, opens the first collection valve 401 and the second collection valve 402, and the signals of the first collection valve 401 and the second collection valve 402 being in the open position are normal; opens the clean water valve 406, and the signal of the clean water valve 406 being in the open position is normal.

[0048] S3: When the control system 3 determines that the preparation is complete, the solenoid valve 108 of the movable weir plate is opened. The pneumatic actuator 102 extends and drives the movable weir plate 103 to descend so that the bottom edge of the first water passage hole 105 is lower than the water surface and the top edge of the first water passage hole 105 coincides with the water surface. Relying on the surface tension of the water, the surface scum is carried into the suspension collection tank 101.

[0049] S4: The movable weir plate 103 opens for 2 seconds (adjustable), which starts the drive pump 403 to collect scum.

[0050] Example 3:

[0051] A backwashing method for a sedimentation tank scum removal device, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0052] S1: The control system 3 detects that the value of the differential pressure sensor 412 exceeds the set upper limit threshold or meets the backwashing set cycle time;

[0053] S2: Drive water pump 403 to stop working. Control system 3 detects the stop signal, opens the first backwash valve 404, opens the second backwash valve 405, and opens the drain valve 411. Control system 3 detects the open signals of the first backwash valve 404, the second backwash valve 405, and the drain valve 411, closes the first collection valve 401, closes the second collection valve 402, and closes the clean water valve 406.

[0054] S3: Start the backwashing program, turn on the drive water pump 403, the control system 3 detects the operation signal of the drive water pump 403, enters the flushing timer, and ends the backwashing program when the flushing time meets the requirements.

[0055] S4: Start the filtration program, close the first backwash valve 404, close the second backwash valve 405, and close the drain valve 411. The control system 3 detects the closed signals of the first backwash valve 404, the second backwash valve 405, and the drain valve 411, opens the first collection valve 401, opens the second collection valve 402, and opens the clean water valve 406.

[0056] S5: Control system 3 enters the collection standby program.

[0057] The working principle of the sedimentation tank scum removal device, scum collection method, and backwashing cleaning method disclosed in this invention is as follows:

[0058] The system comprises a front-end collector 1, a collection pipeline system 107, a double-layer filter tank 2, and a control system 3. The front-end collector 1 is connected to the inlet of a first collection valve 401 via the collection pipeline 107. The outlet of the first collection valve 401 is divided into two branches: one connects to the inlet of a drive pump 403, and the other connects to the backwash water outlet 208 at the lower end of the water storage area 22 via a first backwash valve 404. The outlet pipeline of the drive pump 403 is also divided into two branches: one connects to the bottom of the filter area 21 via a second backwash valve 405, providing power water for backwashing; the other branch connects to the inlet 202 of the water distribution device 201 in the filter area 21 via the second collection valve 402. The inlet 202 of the water distribution device 201 in the filter area 21 can serve as both a collection water inlet and a backwash water outlet. During normal collection, the second collection valve 402 is open, and the drain valve 411 is closed; during backwashing, the second collection valve 402 is closed, and the drain valve 411 is open. The double-layer filter tank 2 is divided into an upper filtration zone 21 and a lower water storage zone 22. The upper filter tank is connected to the lower water storage tank through a clean water valve 406. The collection and treatment process is to open the clean water valve 406 to allow clean water to flow into the water storage tank.

[0059] A collection pipe 107 is welded to the bottom of the front-end collector 1. A second water passage hole 106 is provided at the connection between the suspended collection tank 101 and the collection pipe 107 to remove scum from the suspended collection tank 101. An overflow hole is provided at the top of the movable weir plate 103. In standby mode, the overflow hole is above the liquid surface, preventing water from flowing into the collection tank through the movable weir plate 103. When it is necessary to remove surface floating matter, the pneumatic actuator 102 controls the movable weir plate 103 to descend, making the overflow hole lower than the liquid surface. The surface tension of the water is then used to carry the surface floating matter into the front-end collector 1 for discharge. The front-end collector 1 can be used alone or in combination. For combination use, simply connect the collection pipes 107 in series to the drive pump 403.

[0060] The collected floating matter mixture enters the double-layer filter tank 2 through a pipe. The upper layer of the double-layer filter tank 2 is used for filtration, while the lower layer is used to store backwash water. The upper filtration zone 21 has an inverted conical water distribution device 201 arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the inlet 202. The upper surface of the water distribution device 201 has a certain number of sieve holes 2011, which are used to evenly distribute water, intercept larger scum, and better remove surface contaminants during backwashing. The filtration zone 21 contains filter media with different filtration precisions, stacked from bottom to top, with filtration precisions ranging from 100nm to 500nm. The upper and lower layers of the double-layer filter tank 2 are connected by a central clean water valve 406, which is a control valve and is closed during system backwashing. The lower water storage area 22 is equipped with an inverted conical overflow weir 203, which is used to ensure that there is enough backwash water stored in the tank. The bottom of the water storage tank is equipped with a backwash water outlet 208, which is connected to the first backwash valve 404 through the second backwash water pipe 410. The outlet of the first backwash valve 404 is then connected to the drive water pump 403 through a pipe.

[0061] The double-layer filter tank 2 design saves installation space; the water distribution device 201 and overflow weir 203 inside the tank effectively remove floating debris and water volume during backwashing; scum is no longer intercepted by a collector, and no collection net is needed, thus eliminating the need for regular manual cleaning and replacement. A single water pump is used for collecting floating debris and backwashing, resulting in high economic efficiency; an independent filtration system is set up, and through the cooperation of the pipeline collection system 4 and the control system 3, automated operation is achieved, enabling water resource recovery. The system backwashing setting ensures that the collection system maintains optimal working condition for a long time, automatically removing intercepted floating debris from the system, eliminating the need for manual maintenance; the front-end collector 1 adopts an active opening method, which can be cleaned on a timed basis or cleaned based on external sensor detection, resulting in higher collection efficiency; there are no electrical connections in the water section, ensuring the safety of personnel.

[0062] The foregoing has described some embodiments of the present invention in detail, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
