Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of filter bed water level control technology, specifically a constant water level regulation system for a V-type filter bed. Background Technology
[0002] The currently popular method for controlling the effluent of V-type filters is to use a PLC system to regulate the constant water level in the filter. This involves using an ultrasonic level gauge installed above the water surface in the filter to detect the water level signal and feeding the signal back to the PLC control cabinet to adjust the opening of the valve on the filter's effluent pipe. This increases or decreases the water loss through the valve, thereby increasing or decreasing the effluent flow rate and achieving a basically constant water level in the filter.
[0003] For example, when the ultrasonic level gauge detects a rise in the water level of the filter bed, it feeds the signal back to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then sends a signal to increase the opening of the filter bed outlet valve, which reduces water loss from the valve, increases the outlet flow rate, and causes the water level in the filter bed to drop.
[0004] Conversely, when the ultrasonic level gauge detects a decrease in the water level in the filter bed, it feeds the signal back to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then sends a signal to reduce the opening of the filter bed outlet valve, increasing the valve's water loss, decreasing the outlet flow rate, and causing the filter bed water level to rise. Through this process, the water level in the filter bed is kept relatively constant.
[0005] However, this method uses a lot of electrical components, and in the actual operation experience of water plants, the probability of electrical component failure is relatively high. Once a failure occurs, it will affect production and the subsequent maintenance cost is high. Therefore, this invention provides a V-type filter constant water level regulation system.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-4 This invention provides a technical solution for a constant water level regulation system for a V-type filter: A constant water level regulation system for a V-type filter includes a filter 1 and an outlet pool 5. The top of the outlet pool 5 is lower than the bottom of the filter 1. A base 51 is installed on the bottom inner side of the outlet pool 5. The base 51 is formed by concrete pouring and has pre-embedded steel bars at the bottom that are connected to the bottom of the outlet pool 5. A support 52 is provided at the upper end of the base 51. The support 52 is made of channel steel and a siphon pipe 6 is welded on the support 52. One end of the siphon pipe 6 passes through the upper end of the outlet pool 5 and is connected to the outlet of the filter 1. The siphon pipe 6 has an L-shaped structure, with one end connected to the outlet of the filter 1 and the other end bent vertically upward.
[0030] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a supporting steel plate 53 is installed in the middle of the siphon pipe 6, and three limiting steel plates 54 are welded in a ring at the upper end of the siphon pipe 6. A siphon hood 4 is fitted over the upper end of the siphon pipe 6. The top of the siphon hood 4 is connected to the other end of the vent pipe 3 through a first threaded interface pipe 41. The siphon hood 4 is hollow inside and open at the bottom. The bottom end of the supporting steel plate 53 is provided with an outwardly extending convex edge. The siphon hood 4 is fitted over the upper end of the siphon pipe 6, and the bottom end of the siphon hood 4 is placed on the convex edge of the supporting steel plate 53. It should be noted that the siphon hood 4 is movable outside the siphon pipe 6, so that when the siphon is in operation, the water in the filter tank 1 can be discharged through the siphon pipe 6 and overflow from the inside of the siphon hood 4 into the effluent tank 5. Figure 2 As shown.
[0031] like Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figure 4, the constant water level regulation system of the V-type filter also includes a constant water level regulator 2 installed inside the filter 1 above the water surface. The top of the constant water level regulator 2 is connected to an air vent pipe 3. The constant water level regulator 2 includes a float 21 located inside the filter 1 above the water surface. The float 21 is a cylindrical steel component. Multiple steel support seats 22 are arrayed in the middle of the upper surface of the float 21. The tops of the multiple steel support seats 22 are connected to a flange 23. A flange pipe 24 is vertically installed at the middle of the upper end of the flange 23. An air inlet pipe 26 is slidably connected to the inner side of the flange pipe 24. The bottom end of the air inlet pipe 26 passes through the flange pipe 24 and is connected to a limit baffle 27 below the flange 23. The limit baffle 27 can prevent floating. The cylinder 21 detaches from the air inlet pipe 26. The outer diameter of the limiting baffle 27 is larger than the inner diameter of the flange pipe 24. The upper outer surface of the air inlet pipe 26 has multiple air inlet holes 28 arranged in an array. The height of the air inlet holes 28 is 2cm. The air inlet pipe 26 is made of, but is not limited to, 204 stainless steel. The inner diameter of the flange pipe 24 is 50mm. The outer diameter of the air inlet pipe 26 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the flange pipe 24. The air inlet pipe 26 is located inside the flange pipe 24 and is slidably connected to it. The purpose is to facilitate the movement of the flange pipe 24 on the air inlet pipe 26 when the float 21 rises and falls with the water surface of the filter tank 1, so as to close or open the air inlet holes 28, so as to facilitate the gas to enter the ventilation pipe 3 or to prevent the gas from entering the ventilation pipe 3, thereby realizing or destroying the siphon of the siphon hood 4.
[0032] The surface of the flange pipe 24 is also provided with a conical lubricating oil nozzle 25. One end of the lubricating oil nozzle 25 is connected to the inner wall of the flange pipe 24 and is used to add lubricating oil to the inside of the flange pipe 24, so that the sliding between the air inlet pipe 26 and the flange pipe 24 is smoother.
[0033] like Figure 4As shown, an adjusting pipe 210 is provided at the top of the intake pipe 26, and a sealing ring 29 is provided between the intake pipe 26 and the adjusting pipe 210. The top of the adjusting pipe 210 is connected to a connecting pipe 213 via a nut locking member. The top of the connecting pipe 213 is provided with a second threaded interface pipe 214. The nut locking member includes a threaded sleeve 211 integrally connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe 213, and multiple locking nuts 212 are installed on the outer surface of the threaded sleeve 211. The threaded sleeve 211 and the locking nuts 212 are threadedly connected. The inner diameter of the threaded sleeve 211 is larger than the outer diameter of the adjusting pipe 210. The locking nuts 212... One end of the tube is screwed into the inside of the threaded sleeve 211 and pressed against the outer surface of the top of the regulating tube 210. The regulating tube 210 is made of 304 stainless steel with an inner diameter of 50mm, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the constant water level regulator 2 according to the needs of the filter tank 1. That is, the length of the regulating tube 210 is adjusted according to the length of the regulating tube 210 into the threaded sleeve 211. After the regulating tube 210 is inserted into the threaded sleeve 211, the locking nut 212 is turned to screw it into the inside of the threaded sleeve 211 and presses against the outer wall of the regulating tube 210, thus realizing the connection and fixation between the regulating tube 210 and the connecting tube 213.
[0034] The outer surfaces of the first threaded interface pipe 41 and the second threaded interface pipe 214 are both threaded. Both ends of the vent pipe 3 are both threaded. The two ends of the vent pipe 3 are connected to the first threaded interface pipe 41 and the second threaded interface pipe 214 respectively, connecting the vent pipe 3 to the connecting pipe 213 and the siphon shroud 4. This allows the gas to enter the regulating pipe 210 through the inlet pipe 26 when the gas enters the inlet hole 28, then enter the vent pipe 3 through the connecting pipe 213, and finally enter the siphon shroud 4, thus disrupting the siphon effect of the siphon shroud 4. When the inlet hole 28 is closed, no gas enters the siphon shroud 4, thus achieving the siphon effect of the siphon pipe 6.
[0035] The working principle of this invention: The constant water level regulator 2 is fixed inside the filter tank 1, and the float 21 is located above the water surface inside the filter tank 1. When the water level inside the filter tank 1 rises, the float 21 will rise due to the buoyancy of the water, which will drive the flange pipe 24 to slide upward along the outside of the air inlet pipe 26. The rise of the flange pipe 24 will seal the air inlet hole 28, preventing air from entering the air inlet pipe 26, that is, preventing air from entering the vent pipe 3, thereby forming a siphon inside the siphon hood 4. Under the action of the siphon, the water flow rate at the outlet of the filter tank 1 becomes faster. The water flow rate at the outlet of the filter tank 1 is greater than the water flow rate at the inlet, thereby causing the water level inside the filter tank 1 to drop.
[0036] When the water level in filter 1 drops, the float 21 will drop with the water level, which will cause the flange pipe 24 to slide down along the air inlet pipe 26, exposing the air inlet 28 and allowing air to enter the air inlet pipe 26. Even if the air enters the vent pipe 3, it will disrupt the siphon of the siphon hood 4, and the water outflow from the siphon pipe 6 will change from siphon to gravity flow, which will slow down the flow rate and make it less than the inflow flow rate of filter 1, so the water level inside filter 1 will rise.
[0037] This design uses the siphon principle in conjunction with the application of the constant water level regulator 2. By alternating between the two states, the water level of the filter tank 1 can be varied within a small range, thereby creating a relatively constant water level in the filter tank 1.
