DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Example 1, reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a combined wind energy aeration device for sewage treatment, the device comprising: a wind energy unit 100, including a fan support frame 101, a spiral blade 102 rotatably arranged on the fan support frame 101, and a compression assembly 103 arranged inside the fan support frame 101, and the fan support frame 101 and the spiral blade 102 are used to collect wind energy and maintain the operation of the device; refer to Figure 4The floating unit 200 includes a floating assembly 201 disposed at the bottom of the fan support frame 101. The floating assembly 201 at the bottom of the fan support frame 101 supports and fixes the entire device so that the device can float stably on the water surface; refer to Figure 2 The surface aeration unit 300 includes a surface aeration assembly 301 disposed on the outer diameter of the bottom of the fan support frame 101. The surface aeration assembly 301 on the fan support frame 101 rotates along with the spiral blades 102 to start stirring the surface water; and refer to Figure 8 The deep aeration unit 400 includes a deep aeration assembly 401 disposed at the bottom of the fan support frame 101, and a sealing assembly 402 disposed inside the deep aeration assembly 401, and the deep aeration assembly 401 is connected to the compression assembly 103. Through the operation of the deep aeration assembly 401 connected to the bottom of the fan support frame 101, the deep water body also begins to be stirred.
[0031] Among them, a fixed connecting rod 102-1 is set at the bottom of the spiral fan blade 102, and the fixed connecting rod 102-1 is connected to the surface aeration component 301. The surface aeration component 301 is connected through the fixed connecting rod 102-1 on the spiral fan blade 102, so that when the spiral fan blade 102 rotates, the surface aeration component 301 rotates together, thereby performing surface aeration on the water body.
[0032] Furthermore, the compression component 103 includes an air compressor 103a arranged inside the fan support frame 101, and an air valve 103b arranged at the bottom of the air compressor 103a, and the air valve 103b is connected to the fan support frame 101. The air can be sucked and compressed through the compression component 103 inside the fan support frame 101, and pressed into the deep aeration component 401, so that the deep water body can be aerated.
[0033] For further reference, Figure 4 The floating assembly 201 includes a floating airbag 2 201c arranged on the outer diameter of the fan support frame 101, a connecting block 201b arranged on the outer diameter of the floating airbag 201c, a floating airbag 1 201a arranged on the outer diameter of the connecting block 201b, and a fixed cable 201d arranged at the bottom of the floating airbag 1 201a. Through the cooperation of the floating assembly 201 and the fan support frame 101, the entire device can stably float on the surface of the water to work.
[0034] During use, when aerating the water body, when the wind speed reaches the starting wind speed of 1.6 m / s, the spiral blades 102 on the fan support frame 101 begin to rotate to absorb and drive energy. At the same time, when the spiral blades 102 begin to rotate, because the surface aeration component 301 is fixedly connected to the spiral blades 102, the spiral blades 102 begin to rotate, causing the surface aeration component 301 to also begin to rotate along the fan support frame 101. When the surface aeration component 301 begins to rotate, the surface of the water body begins to be stirred, causing the surface of the water body to begin to fluctuate, thereby performing surface aeration. During aeration, the surface of the water body is stirred by the surface aeration component 301, causing the water on the surface of the water body to jump up and be thrown into the air. At the same time, the water thrown into the air contacts the air and returns to the water with the contacted air, causing the oxygen in the air to blend into the surface of the water body, and the surface begins to be aerated. The larger the contact area of the water droplets, the easier it is for the oxygen in the air to blend into the water.
[0035] When the surface layer is aerated, the compression component 103 on the fan support frame 101 starts to absorb air and compress the air. The air compressed by the compression component 103 is transported to the deep aeration component 401. At the same time, the propeller 401d on the deep aeration component 401 also starts to rotate at the bottom of the water, and starts to stir the deep water body, so that the deep water body also starts to fluctuate. The compressed air is transported to the deep aeration component 401 through the compression component 103, and then transported to the deep water body through the sealing component 402, and the deep water body is started to be aerated. At the same time, when the compression component 103 transports the air downward to the deep aeration component 401, the pressure inside the deep aeration component 401 can squeeze and discharge the water body, ensuring that there is no water body inside the deep aeration component 401. Not only the aeration efficiency is improved, but the whole system uses wind energy as a power source, which reduces energy consumption and improves sewage treatment efficiency. It is an environmentally friendly and efficient water aeration solution.
[0036] Example 2, reference Figure 1 - Figure 7 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, and the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is: Figure 6The surface aeration assembly 301 includes a fixed shaft 301a arranged on the outer diameter of the bottom of the fan support frame 101, a rotating shaft 301b rotatably arranged on the outer diameter of the fixed shaft 301a, a connecting rod 301c arranged at the other end of the rotating shaft 301b, a fixed column 301d arranged on the connecting rod 301c, a bottom plate 301e arranged at the bottom of the fixed column 301d, and a wave rod 301f arranged at the bottom of the bottom plate 301e. The connection between the fixed shaft 301a on the surface aeration assembly 301 and the fan support frame 101 ensures the stability of the surface aeration assembly 301 during operation, and the cooperation between the bottom plate 301e at the bottom of the fixed column 301d and the wave rod 301f allows the wave rod 301f to continuously stir the water surface and generate waves.
[0037] Compared with Example 1, further, a fixed block 301g is provided on the top of the fixed column 301d, and a connecting cable 301h is provided on the top of the fixed block 301g, and the other end of the connecting cable 301h is connected to the fixed connecting rod 102-1, and the fixed block 301g and the connecting cable 301h at the top of the fixed column 301d are connected, and at the same time, the connecting cable 301h and the spiral fan blade 102 are connected, so that the spiral fan blade 102 can rotate together with the fixed column 301d.
[0038] During use, when the surface of the water body is aerated, when the wind speed reaches 1.6m / s, the spiral blade 102 starts to rotate. While the spiral blade 102 is rotating, because the fixed connecting rod 102-1 at the bottom of the spiral blade 102 is connected to the connecting cable 301h, when the spiral blade 102 rotates, the connecting cable 301h also starts to rotate with the fixed block 301g and the fixed column 301d. At the same time, the bottom plate 301e and the wave rod 301f at the bottom of the fixed column 301d also start to rotate on the water surface, causing the water surface to fluctuate and the water body to be stirred. At the same time, because the wave rod 301f is set in a wave shape, it causes the water body to be stirred. When stirring, waves of maximum width can be created, so that the water body can be thrown into the air to the maximum extent. When the water droplets are thrown into the air, they come into contact with the air, begin to absorb the air, become a water droplet mixture, and then return to the water, which can bring oxygen in the air into the water and increase the contact area of the water droplets to the maximum extent, so that the oxygen in the air can be integrated into the water to the maximum extent, thereby accelerating the aeration treatment speed and treatment efficiency of the water surface. At the same time, when the wave rod 301f is stirring, the connecting rod 301c and the rotating shaft 301b rotate on the fixed shaft 301a to assist and cooperate, ensuring that the wave rod 301f rotates smoothly, so that the water surface can be aerated quickly.
[0039] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.
[0040] Example 3, reference Figure 1 - Fig.10 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that: Fig. 9 The deep aeration assembly 401 includes an aeration pipe 401a arranged at the bottom of the fan support frame 101, a fixing ring 401b arranged at the outer diameter of the aeration pipe 401a, an L-shaped connecting rod 401c arranged on the fixing ring 401b, and a propeller 401d arranged at the other end of the L-shaped connecting rod 401c. The aeration pipe 401a at the bottom of the fan support frame 101 is inserted into the water bottom, and the L-shaped connecting rod 401c and the propeller 401d connected by the fixing ring 401b at the outer diameter of the aeration pipe 401a are stirred to start aeration treatment.
[0041] Compared with Example 2, further, reference Figure 8 A transmission rod 401e is provided on one side of the propeller 401d, and a transmission member 401f is provided on the other end of the transmission rod 401e. The top of the transmission member 401f is connected to the sealing assembly 402, and the transmission is performed through the transmission rod 401e on one side of the propeller 401d, and is fixed by the sealing assembly 402.
[0042] Furthermore, the sealing assembly 402 includes a sealing plate 402a disposed inside the aeration tube 401a, a rotating shaft 402c rotatably disposed at the bottom of the sealing plate 402a, an air outlet 402b disposed on the rotating shaft 402c, and a sealing gasket 402e disposed on the air outlet 402b. The sealing assembly 402 inside the aeration tube 401a can cooperate with the compression assembly 103 to aerate deep water bodies while ensuring the sealing performance of the sealing plate 402a.
[0043] Furthermore, an air outlet 402b is provided through the top of the sealing plate 402a, and the air outlet 402b cooperates with the sealing gasket 402e. Through the cooperation of the air outlet 402b on the sealing plate 402a and the sealing gasket 402e, air can be transported to the deep water body.
[0044] During use, refer to Fig. 9 When aerating the deep water, the spiral blades 102 on the fan support frame 101 start to rotate to collect wind energy, so that the propeller 401d on the deep aeration component 401 starts to rotate, so that the deep water also starts to be stirred and generate waves. At the same time, the air compressor 103a on the compression component 103 absorbs and compresses the air, and the compressed air is transported to the inside of the aeration pipe 401a through the air valve 103b.
[0045] refer to Fig.10, and then transported to the top of the sealing plate 402a through compressed air. When the pressure inside the aeration pipe 401a is greater than the external water pressure, the compressed air rushes open the sealing gasket 402e, and with the cooperation of the propeller 401d, the air is pressed into the deep water body. When the sealing gasket 402e is rushed open, the rotating shaft 402c assists in rotation. When the air pressure inside the aeration pipe 401a is less than the external water pressure, the sealing gasket 402d is pressed into the air outlet 402b with the sealing gasket 402e again, and is blocked by the sealing gasket 402e. At the same time, the sealing gasket 402d outside the sealing gasket 402e is attached to the surface of the sealing plate 402a for sealing. However, when the air pressure inside the aeration pipe 401a is less than the external water pressure, sealing can be performed through the cooperation of the sealing gasket 402e and the sealing gasket 402d.
[0046] However, at the moment when the air compression inside the aeration pipe 401a is small, water will be pressed into the aeration pipe 401a. But when the air pressure inside the aeration pipe 401a is greater than the external water pressure next time, the water entering the aeration pipe 401a can be pressed out again to achieve drainage. At the same time, the deep water body can be aerated. The compression component 103 absorbs and compresses the air, and the deep water body is stirred by the propeller of the deep aeration component 401 to achieve deep aeration. The compression component 103 effectively presses the compressed air into the water, and cooperates with the propeller 401d to improve the aeration efficiency. The entire system uses wind energy as a power source, reduces energy consumption, and improves sewage treatment efficiency.
[0047] The remaining structure is the same as that of Example 2.
[0048] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
