Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pool surface cleaning, and in particular to a device and method for cleaning the surface of a filtration sedimentation tank. Background Technology
[0002] Existing scum collection systems in secondary sedimentation tanks mainly consist of scum baffles, scum hoppers, and scum pipes. By rotating the scum baffles, floating debris is pushed to the top of the scum hopper and then discharged out of the tank through the scum pipe connected to the hopper. However, this system has several drawbacks: after long-term operation in wastewater treatment plants, the efficiency of scum and oil removal in the upstream facilities decreases, resulting in excessive scum and sludge in the secondary sedimentation tank. The scum and sludge follow the rotation of the scum baffles, making it difficult or only partially collected into the scum hopper, resulting in a large amount of scum and sludge remaining on the surface for extended periods. Manual removal is difficult and visually unappealing. Some plants use devices consisting of spray structures and pressurized water systems to simulate "artificial rain" to disperse and settle the scum and sludge on the surface, thus aiding in collection. However, this only disperses the scum and sludge; when the amount is too large, problems arise such as re-floating, incomplete collection, and impact on effluent quality, failing to achieve the desired effect. Summary of the Invention

The slag collection cylinder 4 is connected to the fixed support 2 and fixed to the existing scum baffle 8 in the secondary sedimentation tank. This fixing method can use movable clips and tracks, allowing the slag collection device to move within a certain range and expand the collection area. The slag collection hopper 7 is fixed to the slag collection cylinder 4 using a detachable insert clip. An auxiliary float is installed at the bottom or side of the slag collection hopper 7 to maintain the device's balance on the water surface. The slag collection net 10 is fixed to the slag collection cylinder 4 by hooks 5. A magnetic strip 8 is provided near the opening of the slag collection net 10 to maintain the tightness between the slag collection net and the slag collection cylinder. A slag collection rope 9 is provided in the upper middle part of the slag collection net to tighten the net opening during slag cleaning to prevent garbage from falling, and also serves as a leverage point for lifting the slag collection net 10.
[0032] The separation device moves with the aid of a scum baffle, and floating debris on the pool surface is collected through a scum hopper. Utilizing the high-speed rotation of the propeller to generate downward thrust, the pressure at the top of the scum collection cylinder rapidly decreases. The scum-water mixture in the scum hopper is then drawn into the scum collection cylinder through the scum collection port under atmospheric pressure and pushed into the scum collection screen. Water is squeezed out of the mesh, while scum remains inside the screen and is cleaned during inspection and maintenance.
[0033] In the preferred embodiment, the slag collection hopper 7 has a fan-shaped structure, and the constricted end of the slag collection hopper 7 is engaged with the outer ring of the slag collection port 12. For example... Figure 1-3 As shown in the diagram, the fan-shaped structure can enhance the collection effect.
[0034] In the preferred embodiment, the outer ring of the constricted end of the slag collection hopper 7 is provided with a protruding retaining edge 702, and the outer ring of the slag collection opening 12 is provided with a retaining groove 402 that matches the retaining edge 702, with the retaining edge 702 being engaged inside the retaining groove 402. Figure 3-4 As shown in the structure, the retaining edge 702 is provided on both sides and the bottom, and the retaining edge 702 and the retaining groove 402 have a better engagement effect.
[0035] In the preferred embodiment, auxiliary floats 11 are provided on both sides of the slag collection hopper 7, and mounting rings 701 are also provided on both sides of the slag collection hopper 7. The auxiliary floats 11 are mounted on the mounting rings 701. The auxiliary floats 11 are installed on the bottom or side of the slag collection hopper 7 to keep the device balanced on the water surface.
[0036] In the preferred embodiment, the outer ring below the slag collection cylinder 4 is provided with multiple hooks 5, and the outer ring above the opening of the slag collection net 10 is provided with an annular slag collection net hanging rope 6, which is set on the hooks 5.

The magnetic strip 8 is fitted around the outside of the slag collection net 10 and is attracted to the slag collection cylinder 4, with its lower end abutting against the limiting ring 403. A tightening strap 901 is also inserted into the slag collection net 10, with both ends connected to a slag collection rope 9. The end of the slag collection rope 9 is attached to a lifting lug 401 on the slag collection cylinder 4. The slag collection net 10 is fixed to the slag collection cylinder 4 by a hook 5. The magnetic strip 8 is provided near the opening of the slag collection net 10 to maintain the tightness between the slag collection net and the slag collection cylinder. The slag collection rope 9 is provided in the upper part of the slag collection net to tighten the net opening during slag cleaning, preventing debris from falling, and also serves as a leverage point for lifting the slag collection net 10.
[0038] In the preferred embodiment, a fixed support 2 is provided on one side of the scum collection cylinder 4, and the end of the fixed support 2 is connected to the scum baffle 1. The scum collection cylinder 4 is connected to the fixed support 2 and fixed to the original scum baffle 1 in the secondary sedimentation tank by a movable clamp. When the scum baffle 1 moves normally, it drives the cleaning device to move on the surface of the tank.
[0039] In the preferred embodiment, the end of the fixed bracket 2 is connected to a U-shaped claw 201, which engages with the scum baffle 1. A locking plate 202 is provided at the opening of the claw 201, and the locking plate 202 and the claw 201 cooperate to lock the bracket onto the scum baffle 1. Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, the U-shaped claw 201 is installed upside down on the scum baffle 1 and is fixed to the scum baffle 1 by the locking plate 202.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] Further explanation in conjunction with Example 1, such as Figure 1-5 As shown in the structure, the slag collection cylinder 4 is connected to the fixed bracket 2 and fixed to the original slag baffle 1 of the filtration sedimentation tank by the movable claw 201. When the slag baffle 1 moves normally, it drives the slag collection cylinder 4 to move on the surface of the tank.
[0042] As the floating device moves along the slag collection cylinder 4, the drive motor 3 is turned on to drive the propeller 13 to rotate, sucking the floating slag and mud from the slag collection hopper 7 into the slag collection cylinder 4. Water flows out from the mesh of the slag collection net 10, and the floating slag and mud are intercepted in the slag collection net 10.
[0043] Once a certain amount of mud and sludge has been collected, move the cleaning device to a convenient operating position, turn off the drive motor 3, and stop the propeller 13 from working.
[0044] Loosen the hanging rope 6 of the slag collection net, tighten the shrinkage band 901 by the slag collection rope 9 to form a narrow opening at the upper end of the slag collection net 10, lift out the slag collection net 10, pour out the sludge and transfer it to the garbage dumping point, hang the hanging rope 6 of the slag collection net and tie it tightly, adjust the magnetic strip 8 of the slag collection net 10 to a suitable position, and fix the slag collection rope 9 in a secure position.
[0045] Adjust the magnetic strip 8 to a suitable position to ensure that the slag collection net 10 and the slag collection cylinder 4 are in tight contact.
[0046] The length of the hanging rope for the slag collection net is adjustable, making it easy to disassemble and install the slag collection net.
[0047] When installing the slag collection hopper 7, be sure to press the slag collection screen 10 near the slag collection port tightly to prevent clogging of the slag collection port.
