[0002] In sewage treatment processes, devices for discharging the supernatant of treatment units are often used. For continuously operated processes, a fixed outlet weir is usually used. For batch-type treatment processes such as SBR and CASS, a variable liquid level supernatant discharge device is required.

When the water weir of the water collection tank is lower than the liquid level, the upper clear liquid can flow into the water collection tank for drainage. When the water weir of the water collection tank is higher than the liquid level, the upper clear liquid cannot flow into the water collection tank and the drainage stops. For some similar processes, but the pool structure does not have the ability to install a decanter, such as when the pool body is an underground structure, the pool top is too high from the liquid level, and the pool body size cannot meet the installation space of the decanter, there are certain problems with variable liquid level drainage, which has caused certain obstacles to the application of this process.

The drainage device includes a drainage pump 11, one end of which is connected to a drainage pipe 12 through a first manual valve 13, and the other end is connected to a water outlet pipe 16 through a check valve 14 and a second manual valve 15 in sequence, and the water outlet pipe 16 is connected to the jet device 1, and the free end of the jet device 1 is connected to the drain port. The free end of the siphon destruction device 2 is connected to the air inlet, and the other end is connected to the vent pipe 9. The drainage connection device includes a drainage connection pipe 5 connected to the lower end of the inner tube 3, and the other end of the drainage connection pipe 5 is provided with a connection flange 6, and the connection flange 6 is connected to the drainage pipe 12. The inner tube 3 and the outer tube 4 are arranged inside the treatment unit pool body 17 through a fixed bracket 19. The siphon destruction device 2 is a siphon destruction air inlet electromagnetic valve. The liquid level monitoring device 7 is a liquid level gauge. The jet device 1 is an ejector, and a negative pressure suction port is opened at the upper end of the ejector, and the negative pressure suction port is connected to the exhaust port 8 through an exhaust electromagnetic valve 10. The electric control system controls the water collecting device, the jet device 1, the drainage device, the siphon destroying device 2, and the liquid level monitoring device 7 through the PLC program.

[0031] The present invention also provides a control method for a siphon type unpowered decanting device, which is applied to the above-mentioned siphon type unpowered decanting device and is characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0032] S1. The electronic control system performs self-inspection on the device and starts after passing the self-inspection;

[0033] S2, the liquid level monitoring device detects the liquid level of the tank body and provides a liquid level signal to the electronic control system;

[0034] S3, the electronic control system controls the drainage pump according to the liquid level signal obtained in S2, and the drainage pump starts when the set high liquid level is reached;

[0035] S4. After the drainage pump is started, the jet device generates a suction effect to discharge the air in the water collection device, so that negative pressure is formed in the water collection device to achieve drainage;

[0036] S5. When the water is drained to the set low liquid level, the drainage pump stops, the siphon destruction system starts, and air enters the top of the water collection device to destroy the siphon and block the drainage, and the cycle S2-S5 is repeated.

[0037] The water collecting device is a fixed structure and does not require a driving device to drive it but can achieve drainage as the liquid level changes. When the water collecting device is exhausted and vacuumized, under the action of atmospheric pressure, the upper clear liquid in the treatment unit pool body 17 enters the water collecting device, that is, between the outer cylinder 4 and the inner cylinder 3, and is discharged to a position below the liquid level through the drainage pipe 12 and discharged through the drainage pump 11, thereby achieving siphoning and drainage effects.

[0038] An ejector is installed on the outlet pipe 16 of the drainage pump 11. A negative pressure suction port is opened at the throat position of the ejector. The suction port is connected to the exhaust port 8 at the top of the water collection device through the vent pipe 9. After the drainage pump 11 is started, the ejector generates a suction effect to discharge the air in the water collection device, so that negative pressure is formed in the water collection device to achieve drainage.

[0039] The drainage process consists of a water collection device, an ejector, a drainage pump 11, a siphon breaking system, a liquid level meter, and an electronic control system. The liquid level monitoring device 7, i.e., the liquid level meter, detects the high and low liquid levels, provides a liquid level signal to the electronic control system, and controls the start and stop of the drainage pump 11 through the PLC program to achieve drainage and stop drainage operations; when the liquid level reaches the set low liquid level, the drainage pump 11 stops, the siphon breaking system, i.e., the siphon breaking air intake solenoid valve starts, and air enters the top of the water collection device to break the siphon, block drainage, and end the drainage cycle. The starting and stopping liquid levels of drainage can be achieved by adjusting the set values ​​of the high and low liquid levels, and the drainage volume can be controlled. The drainage can also be completed by setting the drainage time, and the control and operation are more flexible.

[0040] The water collecting device includes an inner cylinder 3, an outer cylinder 4, and an exhaust port 8. The inner cylinder 3 is the main component for setting the drainage liquid level difference and is a drainage channel, and the lower part is connected by a drainage connecting pipe 5; the outer cylinder 4 is an isolation cover, the lower part of which is submerged below the liquid surface, and the inner cylinder 3 realizes an internal closed space. At the same time, the outer cylinder 4 can isolate impurities such as scum and floating oil on the liquid surface to ensure the water quality of the outlet water.

[0041] The electronic control system is controlled by PLC programming and combined with various functional units to achieve automatic control operation; each operation cycle consists of: when the high liquid level is reached, the drainage pump 11 starts - the exhaust solenoid valve 10 opens, exhaust - the exhaust solenoid valve 10 closes, drainage operation - when the low liquid level is reached, the drainage pump 11 stops - the siphon is destroyed, the intake solenoid valve opens, the intake destroys the siphon - the drainage cycle ends.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, just before the treatment unit pool body 17 reaches the high liquid level (starting drainage liquid level), the drainage pump 11 is in a stopped state, the exhaust solenoid valve 10 and the siphon destruction air intake solenoid valve are both in a closed state, and the liquid level meter gives a signal; then, the drainage state is started, at which time the drainage pump 11 is started, the exhaust solenoid valve 10 is opened first, and then closed after 10 seconds (the duration can be adjusted according to the situation), and drainage is carried out, and the siphon destruction air intake solenoid valve is in a closed state; when the drainage reaches the middle liquid level, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the drainage pump 11 is in the starting state, the exhaust solenoid valve 10 and the siphon destruction intake solenoid valve are both in the closed state, and when the drainage just reaches the low liquid level (stop drainage liquid level), the liquid level meter gives a signal, such as Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the drainage pump 11 stops running, the exhaust solenoid valve 10 and the siphon destruction air intake solenoid valve are both in a closed state, then the drainage pump 11 stops running, the exhaust solenoid valve 10 is in a closed state, the siphon destruction air intake solenoid valve is opened first, and then closed after 10 seconds (the duration can be adjusted according to the situation), the drainage is completed, and the water level begins to rise after the drainage reaches the low liquid level, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the drainage pump 11 is in a stopped state, and the exhaust solenoid valve 10 and the siphon-breaking intake solenoid valve are both in a closed state.
