Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aerators, and particularly relates to an energy-saving waterwheel aerator. Background Art

[0002] A waterwheel aerator is a device that increases the dissolved oxygen in water by driving the impeller to rotate through an electric motor. It mainly consists of a driving component, a frame, a floating boat, a waterwheel impeller and other four parts. During operation, with the driving component as the power, the waterwheel impeller is driven to rotate. Part or all of the blades of the waterwheel impeller are immersed in water. During the rotation process, the blades hit the water surface at high speed, stirring up water splashes, further dissolving a large amount of air to form dissolved oxygen, bringing the oxygen into the water, and at the same time generating a strong acting force. On the one hand, the surface water is pressed into the bottom of the pool, and on the other hand, the water is pushed to make the water flow, quickly diffusing the dissolved oxygen. The main deficiencies of the current waterwheel aerators on the market are that the waterwheel impeller is usually an integrally injection-molded part. The mold opening cost of such an integrally injection-molded part is relatively high, and when the waterwheel impeller is damaged, the entire waterwheel impeller needs to be replaced. On the one hand, the replacement cost is relatively high. On the other hand, the waterwheel impeller is sequentially fixed on the power output shaft of the driving component, and the replacement is relatively inconvenient. Summary of the Invention
