Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geothermal resource development technology, and more specifically, to a geothermal water purification device based on geothermal water exploration and collection. Background Technology
[0002] Geothermal energy is a relatively ideal clean energy source, with abundant reserves and no greenhouse gas emissions during use, posing no harm to the Earth's environment. Currently, the main applications of geothermal energy are power generation and heating. However, because geothermal water contains many impurities, direct collection and use without impurity removal can easily cause blockages in heat exchangers, leading to reduced heat exchange efficiency and even affecting the lifespan of the heat exchangers. Therefore, during the geothermal water collection process, impurity removal devices are needed to remove impurities before the geothermal water enters the heat exchanger.
[0003] After the impurity removal device intercepts a large number of impurities, it needs to discharge the impurities. Currently, when discharging the impurities, the valve of the inlet pipe needs to be closed. During the process of discharging the impurities, the impurity removal operation of the geothermal water needs to be stopped, which reduces the overall collection efficiency of the geothermal water. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a geothermal water removal device based on geothermal water exploration and collection, which can remove impurities without interrupting the removal operation, thereby improving the overall efficiency of geothermal water collection.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a geothermal water impurity removal device based on geothermal water exploration and collection, comprising a shell, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe respectively provided at the top and bottom of the shell, a partition plate provided in the middle of the shell, multiple overflow plates distributed along their own height direction on both sides of the partition plate, a guide plate provided between the overflow plates on the upper and lower sides of the partition plate, an inverted V-shaped interception plate provided at the upper part of the partition plate, the interception plate including a central part and a rotating flipping part rotatably arranged on both sides of the central part, and a distribution mechanism provided above the interception plate;
[0006] The dispensing mechanism includes a dispensing groove and a rotating component for driving the dispensing groove to rotate. Both sides of the bottom of the dispensing groove are provided with traction components for driving the flipping part to flip. When the dispensing groove rotates to one side, the lowest end of the dispensing groove is driven by the traction component to rotate the flipping part upward until it fits against the side wall of the housing.
[0007] Furthermore, the traction component includes a traction rope, a support shaft, and a rotating frame. The rotating frame is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the housing. The support shaft is fixedly mounted inside the housing and located above the rotating frame. The traction rope is laid on the support shaft. One end of the traction rope is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating frame away from the side wall of the housing, and the other end of the traction rope is fixedly connected to the end of the flipping part away from the center.
[0008] Furthermore, a spring plate is connected between the rotating frame and the side wall of the housing. When the rotating frame rotates downward to an inclined state, the spring plate can deform and has a tendency to drive the rotating frame to rotate upward.
[0009] Furthermore, the traction rope is an elastic rope, and when the rotating frame is in an inclined state, the traction rope is in a taut state.
[0010] Furthermore, the overflow plate includes an L-shaped plate and an inclined plate. The L-shaped plate includes a horizontal part and a vertical part. The horizontal part is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing. The vertical part is located at the end of the horizontal part away from the side wall of the housing. The inclined plate is located at the top of the vertical part and extends upwards at an inclination toward the center of the housing.
[0011] Furthermore, the guide plate is provided with activated carbon adsorption blocks, one side of which is in contact with the partition plate and the other side is in contact with the end face of the inclined plate away from the vertical part.
[0012] Furthermore, slag discharge chambers are provided on both sides of the bottom of the shell, and an opening connected to the slag discharge chamber is provided on one side of each overflow plate on the shell. A sealing plate is provided in the slag discharge chamber to close multiple openings at the same time. The sealing plate is slidably disposed in the slag discharge chamber along the height direction and is fixedly connected to the top of the slag discharge chamber by bolts.
[0013] Furthermore, the central part includes a central column, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the partition. Flexible connecting strips are provided on both sides of the central column. The flipping part includes a planar segment and a mesh segment. The planar segment is fixedly connected to the flexible connecting strip, and the mesh segment is located at the end of the planar segment away from the flexible connecting strip.
[0014] Furthermore, the rotating component includes a rotating motor, a worm gear, and a worm. Two support blocks are provided on the outer wall of the housing. The worm is rotatably connected between the two support blocks. The distribution groove is rotatably connected inside the housing via a rotating shaft. The worm gear is connected to one end of the rotating shaft extending outside the housing and meshes with the worm. The rotating motor is fixedly mounted on one of the support blocks and can drive the worm to rotate.
[0015] Furthermore, a fine filter element is also provided inside the housing. The fine filter element includes a frame and a filter membrane embedded in the frame. Mounting grooves are provided on both sides of the housing. The mounting grooves are located below the bottom overflow plate. The two sides of the frame are respectively inserted into the mounting grooves. The water outlet pipe is located below the center of the filter membrane.
[0016] The technical solution of the present invention has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The present invention provides a partition inside the shell, an overflow plate on each side of the partition, and a distribution mechanism and an inverted V-shaped interception plate above the overflow plate. This allows the two sides of the shell to independently remove impurities from the geothermal water, thus enabling the discharge of impurities without interrupting the removal process, thereby improving the overall efficiency of geothermal water collection.
[0018] 2. In this invention, the rotation of the distribution mechanism presses the rotating frame, thereby driving the traction member to pull the flipping part of the interception plate. When the distribution trough introduces geothermal water into one side of the shell, the flipping part on the corresponding side is in working state to intercept impurities. At the same time, the flipping part on the other side is in a downward flipping state to facilitate the discharge of impurities to the overflow plate. The traction rope is set as an elastic rope, which can cause the flipping part to collide with the overflow plate multiple times to improve the discharge efficiency of impurities.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.
[0027] Example
[0028] The following is for reference Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, and further explained with reference to specific embodiments, this embodiment provides a geothermal water impurity removal device based on geothermal water exploration and collection, including a shell 1. The top of the shell 1 is provided with an inlet pipe 11, and the bottom of the shell is provided with an outlet pipe 12. Geothermal water enters the shell 1 through the inlet pipe 11, and after impurity removal treatment, it is discharged from the outlet pipe 12. A partition 2 is provided in the middle of the shell 1 along the vertical direction, which divides the interior of the shell 1 into two chambers. Multiple overflow plates 3 are distributed on the shell 1 and on both sides of the partition 2 along their own height direction. A guide plate 21 is provided between the overflow plates 3 on the upper and lower sides of the partition 2. An inverted V-shaped interception plate 4 is provided on the upper part of the partition 2. The interception plate 4 includes a central part 41 and a flipping part 42 rotatably arranged on both sides of the central part 41. A distribution mechanism 5 is provided above the interception plate 4.
[0029] Initially, the distribution mechanism 5 concentrates the geothermal water entering from the inlet pipe 11 and distributes it to one side of the tilting section 42. The tilting section 42 can intercept larger impurities in the geothermal water. Then, the geothermal water continues to flow into the top overflow plate 3. The overflow plate 3 allows impurities in the geothermal water to settle at the bottom. The geothermal water reaching the top of the overflow plate 3 flows out onto the guide plate 21 and is guided by the guide plate 21 to the next overflow plate 3. After multiple overflows, the geothermal water flows out from the bottom overflow plate 3. When it is necessary to discharge the impurities intercepted on the tilting section 42 and the impurities settled on the overflow plate 3, the distribution mechanism 5 distributes the geothermal water to the other side of the tilting section 42. This prevents the tilting section 42 and the overflow plate 3 from continuing to receive water, while the geothermal water can continue to be purified in the other side of the tilting section 42 and the overflow plate 3. Therefore, the geothermal water collection process is not interrupted.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a fine filter element 7 is also provided inside the housing 1. The fine filter element 7 includes a frame 71 and a filter membrane 72 embedded in the frame 71. Mounting grooves 14 are provided on both sides of the housing 1. The mounting grooves 14 are located below the lowest overflow plate 3. The two sides of the frame 71 are respectively inserted into the mounting grooves 14. The outlet pipe 12 is located below the center of the filter membrane 72. After the geothermal water passes through multiple overflow plates 3 in sequence, the filter membrane 72 can further intercept the residual particulate impurities in the geothermal water, thus making the impurities more thoroughly removed before the geothermal water is discharged from the outlet pipe 12, and preventing the geothermal water from clogging the heat exchange equipment.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 As shown, slag discharge chambers 6 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the shell 1. Each overflow plate 3 has an opening 13 on one side of the shell 1 that communicates with the slag discharge chamber 6. A sealing plate 61 is provided inside the slag discharge chamber 6 to simultaneously close multiple openings 13. The sealing plate 61 is slidably disposed within the slag discharge chamber 6 along its height and is fixedly connected to the top of the slag discharge chamber 6 by bolts 62. Inserting the sealing plate 61 into the slag discharge chamber 6 and closing the openings 13 prevents geothermal water from flowing into the slag discharge chamber 6 during the impurity removal process. When the impurity removal process on one side is completed and impurities need to be discharged, the sealing plate 61 is pulled upwards to connect the openings 13 with the slag discharge chamber 6, allowing the impurities deposited on the multiple overflow plates 3 and residual geothermal water to be discharged from the shell 1 into the slag discharge chamber 6.
[0032] Reference Figure 3As shown, the distribution mechanism 5 includes a distribution groove 51 and a rotating member 52 for driving the distribution groove 51 to rotate. Both sides of the bottom of the distribution groove 51 are provided with traction members 53 for driving the flipping part 42 to flip. When the distribution groove 51 rotates to one side, the lowest end of the distribution groove 51 is driven by the traction member 53 to rotate the flipping part 42 upward until it is in contact with the side wall of the housing 1. After the distribution groove 51 discharges geothermal water from the lowest end, the flipping part 42 located below the lowest end of the distribution groove 51 can intercept large particles of impurities in the geothermal water. At the same time, the highest end of the distribution groove 51 leaves the traction member 53 on the other side, and the flipping part 42 on the other side is no longer under traction and will flip downward until it separates from the side wall of the housing 1. Then the flipping part 42 collides with the overflow plate 3 located at the top so as to pour the intercepted impurities into the overflow plate 3.
[0033] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the rotating component 52 includes a rotating motor 521, a worm gear 522, and a worm 523. Two support blocks 524 are provided on the outer wall of the housing 1. The worm 523 is rotatably connected between the two support blocks 524. The distribution groove 51 is rotatably connected inside the housing 1 via a rotating shaft 511. The worm gear 522 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 511 extending outside the housing 1 and meshes with the worm 523. The rotating motor 521 is fixedly mounted on one of the support blocks 524 and can drive the worm 523 to rotate. When the rotating motor 521 is started, it drives the worm 523 to rotate. The worm gear 522 rotates synchronously under the meshing action of the worm 523 and drives the distribution groove 51 to rotate to a designated state via the rotating shaft 511. This allows the geothermal water entering from the inlet pipe 11 to be guided to either side of the tank interior, while the other side of the tank interior can be easily used for impurity discharge.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the traction component 53 includes a traction rope 531, a support shaft 532, and a rotating frame 533. The rotating frame 533 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 1. The support shaft 532 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1 and located above the rotating frame 533. The traction rope 531 is laid on the support shaft 532. One end of the traction rope 531 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating frame 533 away from the side wall of the housing 1, and the other end of the traction rope 531 is fixedly connected to the end of the flipping part 42 away from the center part 41. A spring plate 534 is connected between the rotating frame 533 and the side wall of the housing 1. When the rotating frame 533 rotates downward to an inclined state, the spring plate 534 can deform and has a tendency to drive the rotating frame 533 to rotate upward. When the distribution trough 51 rotates to one side, the lowest end of the distribution trough 51 applies a pressure to the rotating frame 533 below, causing the rotating frame 533 to flip downwards. Under the traction of the rotating frame 533, the traction rope 531 applies a tension to the flipping part 42, causing the end of the flipping part 42 to abut against the side wall of the housing 1. At the same time, the highest end of the distribution trough 51 separates from the rotating frame 533 on the other side. The rotating frame 533 on the other side returns to a horizontal state under the elastic force of the spring plate 534. The traction rope 531 no longer applies a tension to the flipping part 42 on the other side. Therefore, the flipping part 42 on the other side rotates downwards under its own weight and collides with the overflow plate 3 located at the top. The impurities trapped enter the lowest end of the overflow plate 3 under the action of its own weight and the action of the residual water in the overflow plate 3.
[0035] It should be noted that the traction rope 531 is an elastic rope that can undergo elastic deformation and change its length. When the rotating frame 533 is in an inclined state, the traction rope 531 is in a taut state to ensure that a pulling force can be applied to the flipping part 42 and the end of the flipping part 42 is pressed against the side wall of the housing 1. When the rotating frame 533 rotates to a horizontal state, since the traction rope 531 is elastic and its length can change, the flipping part 42 can collide with the overflow plate 3 multiple times to ensure that all the impurities intercepted flow into the overflow plate 3 located at the top.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the central part 41 includes a central column 411, which is welded to the top of the partition plate 2. Flexible connecting strips 412 are provided on both sides of the central column 411. The flipping part 42 includes a flat section 421 and a mesh section 422. The flat section 421 is fixedly connected to the flexible connecting strip 412, and the mesh section 422 is located at the end of the flat section 421 away from the flexible connecting strip 412. After the geothermal water enters the flat section 421, it flows towards the mesh section 422. The mesh section 422 can trap impurities and allow the geothermal water to enter the overflow plate 3. The flexible connecting strip 412 enables the flipping part 42 to rotate without creating gaps at the connection points that would affect the trapping effect on impurities.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the overflow plate 3 includes an L-shaped plate 31 and an inclined plate 32. The L-shaped plate 31 includes a horizontal portion 311 and a vertical portion 312. The horizontal portion 311 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 1, and the vertical portion 312 is located at the end of the horizontal portion 311 away from the side wall of the housing 1. The inclined plate 32 is located at the top of the vertical portion 312 and extends upwards at an inclination towards the center of the housing 1. When geothermal water flows to the overflow plate 3, it flows along the inclined plate 32 into the space formed between the L-shaped plate 31 and the side wall of the housing 1. As the water level rises, the geothermal water exceeding the highest point of the inclined plate 32 will flow out first. During this process, sedimentary impurities in the geothermal water will settle onto the horizontal portion 311 of the L-shaped plate 31. An activated carbon adsorption block 22 is provided on the flow guide plate 21. One side of the activated carbon adsorption block 22 is attached to the partition plate 2, and the other side is attached to the end face of the inclined plate 32 away from the vertical part 312. The geothermal water overflowing from the inclined plate 32 will enter the activated carbon adsorption block 22. The activated carbon adsorption block can adsorb impurities such as particulate matter, ionic matter and dissolved gas in the geothermal water, thereby further improving the impurity removal effect of the geothermal water.

Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art.
