[0026] Wherein, the walking vehicle 2 is provided with rubber wheels 21 moving on the top of the pool wall 11 of the sewage pool 1 on both sides, and each rubber wheel 21 is equipped with a driving motor 22. The rubber wheel 21 and the frame of the driving motor 22 are connected to the horizontal pipe 23, the walking vehicle 2 is supported by the rubber wheel 21 and driven by the driving motor 22, so that the walking vehicle 2 moves on the top of the pool wall 11. The aeration disc 4 in the sewage pool 1 can be arranged in multiple rows, and each row of aeration disc 4 corresponds to a vertical pipe 25 and a suction chassis 26. Through the multiple groups of vertical pipes 25 and suction chassis 26 carried by the walking vehicle 2, the equipment can cover all the aeration discs 4 on the pool bottom in sequence, realize back-and-forth operation, and flexibly adjust the cleaning frequency according to the sludge concentration, greatly save labor, and improve the operation safety, especially suitable for environments such as deep pool bodies which are not suitable for manual operation.

[0027] Wherein, the height of the collecting pool 3 is lower than that of the sewage pool 1, and the bottom end of the drainage pipe 27 is lower than the bottom end of the aeration disc 4. The collecting pool 3 is lower than the sewage pool 1, which can facilitate the liquid level in the collecting pool 3 to be lower than that in the sewage pool 1, and when the outlet of the drainage pipe 27 is lower than the bottom end of the aeration disc 4, the rotating shaft seal 251 is opened to form a siphon effect, so that the water in the sewage pool 1 is sucked into the collecting pool 3.

[0028] The control valve 28 is arranged in the pipe of the drain pipe 27, and the top of the drain pipe 27 is connected with the horizontal pipe 23 through the flange 271. The horizontal pipe 23 and the vertical pipe 25 are both composed of stainless steel pipes, and the vertical pipe 25 is connected with the horizontal pipe 23 through the tee joint 29. In the embodiment, the control valve 28 is preferably arranged at a position 5-20 cm above the bottom end of the drain pipe 27, and the control valve 28 is used for adjusting the opening and closing and flow rate of the drain pipe 27. The horizontal pipe 23, the vertical pipe 25 and the drain pipe 27 are connected as a whole through the flange 271 and the tee joint 29, so that the overall pipeline system adopts a detachable structure, which is convenient for later maintenance, repair or replacement, and enhances the maintainability of the equipment.

[0029] The movable baffle 261 is in a ring structure, and the top end of the movable baffle 261 is spaced apart from the suction disc 26 by at least 1 cm, so as to provide space for installing the spring 263 and reserve the compression stroke of the spring 263. The bottom of the movable baffle 261 extends out of the bottom of the suction disc 26 by 2-4 cm, so that when the suction disc 26 covers the aerator plate 4, the suction disc 26 and the aerator plate 4 have a spacing height, so that when the vertical pipe 25 is opened, a negative pressure suction range larger than the aerator plate 4 can be formed around the suction disc 26, and the attached sludge can be effectively peeled off.

[0030] The bottom end of the movable baffle 261 and the suction disc 26 are provided with a sealing ring, the sealing ring closes the gap between the suction disc 26 and the movable baffle 261 to form a local closed cavity, avoids the formation of a leakage area between the two, and can further enhance the suction airtightness and cleaning efficiency of the water flow on the surface of the aerator plate 4.

[0031] The water inlet valve 33 and the drain valve 34 are both electric valves, and the water collecting tank 3 is provided with a liquid level meter 35. The water inlet valve 33 and the drain valve 34 are used for adjusting the storage and discharge rhythm, the liquid level of the water collecting tank 3 is monitored by the liquid level feedback of the liquid level meter 35 and is linked to control the water inlet valve 33 and the drain valve 34, feedback guidance is provided for on-site operation, the bottom outlet of the drain pipe 27 is always submerged, the liquid level of the water collecting tank 3 meets the siphon operation condition, the sludge mixed liquid is pumped and discharged, and overflow in the tank is avoided.

[0032] The sludge control process of the device is as follows:

[0033] Close the control valve 28 on the drain pipe 27, fill the water tank 3 with water, keep the water level higher than the outlet of the drain pipe 27, fill the horizontal pipe 23, the vertical pipe 25 and the drain pipe 27 with water through the water inlet 24, and exhaust the air in the horizontal pipe 23, the vertical pipe 25 and the drain pipe 27 through the water inlet 24, then close the water inlet 24 to form an internal vacuum state after each pipe is filled with water, at this time the bottom end of the movable baffle 261 is lower than the top surface of the aeration disc 4, the spring 263 is in the initial state, the top column 262 in the initial state is in contact with the rotating shaft seal 251 and the rotating shaft seal 251 is in the closed state. Start the driving motor 22, and move the walking vehicle 2 along the length direction of the sewage tank 1, when the walking vehicle 2 advances to the first row of aeration discs 4, each suction bottom disc 26 covers the top of the corresponding aeration disc 4, at this time the movable baffle 261 is in contact with the aeration disc 4 and gradually moves up to abut against the aeration disc 4, and the spring 263 is in the compressed state. In order to facilitate the movable baffle 261 to be lifted up by the aeration disc 4, the edge of the aeration disc 4 can be reserved with an annular recess, so that when the movable baffle 261 is in contact with the aeration disc 4, the movable baffle 261 can gradually translate along the recess to the top surface of the aeration disc 4 and be lifted up.

[0034] The movable baffle 261 moving up drives the top column 262 to move up, opens the rotating shaft seal 251 at the top of the suction bottom disc 26 in the horizontal state, and makes the rotating shaft seal 251 open and abut against the limiting piece 252. In the embodiment, the opening angle θ of the rotating shaft seal 251 is 55°, which can form a negative pressure suction channel between the vertical pipe 25 and the suction bottom disc 26, and can also avoid that the rotating shaft seal 251 is difficult to reset due to the opening angle being too large. In order to facilitate the rotating shaft seal 251 to be smoothly matched with the vertical pipe 25 for closing and opening, the vertical pipe 25 is preferably a rectangular pipe, and the rotating shaft seal 251 is a rectangular cover body.

[0035] Since the water tank 3 and the side of the sewage tank 1 are equal in length, there is a liquid level difference between the sewage tank 1 and the water tank 3, and the bottom pipe opening of the drain pipe 27 is below the liquid level of the water tank 3. Since the liquid level of the water tank 3 is lower than that of the sewage tank 1, after the control valve 28 is opened, the water in the drain pipe 27 can be drained to the water tank 3 through the siphon effect, and the sludge-water mixture is sucked into the drain pipe 27 through the vertical pipe 25 and the horizontal pipe 23 and flows into the water tank 3. The sludge-water mixture is continuously stripped from the aeration disc 4 due to the negative pressure suction around the suction bottom disc 26 and the continuous gas injection of the aeration pipe 5 on the aeration disc 4. The opening degree of the control valve 28 can also be adjusted to control the pumping speed, the control valve 28 is closed after the sludge is emptied, the walking vehicle 2 leaves the row of aeration discs 4, the rotating shaft seal 251 is reset and closed to the vertical pipe 25 under the influence of the elastic force of the torsional spring 253, and the sewage is prevented from flowing back, and the sludge removal operation of a single row of aeration discs 4 is completed. At the same time, the spring 263 presses down the movable baffle 261 to reset. The walking vehicle 2 continues to perform the sludge removal operation on the next row of aeration discs 4.

[0036] The device can realize automatic cleaning of the aeration plates 4 arranged in matrix in the sewage tank 1 without manual intervention, and has good operation stability and engineering adaptability.

[0037] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
