[0022] Figure 5 For the present invention Figure 4 Magnified image of . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The terms used in the present invention are those commonly used in the art in view of the functions of the present invention, but these terms may vary according to the intentions of those skilled in the art, precedents, or new technologies in the art. In addition, specific terms may be selected by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of the present invention. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but rather as the meanings of the terms and the overall description of the present invention.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment provides a thermal power plant cooling water waste heat recovery and utilization device, including a carrier assembly 1, the carrier assembly 1 including a storage tank 11 and a carrier tank 13 arranged above the storage tank 11; and the carrier assembly 1 and the filter assembly 2 have a simple structure and a small number of parts, which facilitates processing, manufacturing, installation and maintenance, thereby reducing the initial investment and subsequent operation and maintenance costs of the equipment.

[0026] The filter assembly 2 includes an impeller frame 21 arranged on the inner side of the carrier tank 13. The filter assembly 2 is driven by the impact force of the cooling water falling from the water inlet pipe, and impurity filtration is completed simultaneously during the water flow transportation process, thereby reducing the suspended impurities in the cooling water, providing a clean water source for subsequent waste heat recovery or recycling, and reducing the risk of wear and blockage of equipment by impurities. The power of the filter assembly 2 is completely dependent on the falling impact force of the cooling water itself, and no additional power source such as a motor is required, which significantly reduces energy consumption and meets the energy-saving and consumption-reducing needs of thermal power plants.

[0027] The load-bearing assembly 1 also includes a drain pipe 111 arranged below the storage tank 11. A fixing ring 12 is provided on the outside of the storage tank 11, and a support frame 121 is provided on the outside of the fixing ring 12. The support frames 121 are arranged in a circular array on the outside of the fixing ring 12. Through the circumferential array design of the fixing ring 12 and the support frames 121, uniform support is provided for the storage tank, thereby enhancing the overall structural stability of the device and adapting to the impact load during continuous delivery of cooling water.

[0028] A top cover 131 is provided on the upper portion of the carrying tank 13 . A water inlet pipe 14 is provided on the outer side of the carrying tank 13 . A water inlet 141 is provided on the inner side of the water inlet pipe 14 .

[0029] Usage process: First, the cooling water enters the storage tank 11 through the water inlet 141 on the water inlet pipe 14. When the cooling water passes through the water inlet pipe 14 and falls, the cooling water will drive the filter component 2 to filter the cooling water through the impact force of its falling, thereby reducing impurities in the water.

[0030] Example 2, reference Figures 1 to 4 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, it also includes a filter assembly 2 and an impeller arranged on the inner side of the impeller frame 21. The impeller circumferential array is arranged on the inner side of the impeller frame 21. The inner side of the impeller frame 21 is provided with a connecting rod 24, and the outer side of the connecting rod 24 is provided with a scraper 22. The filter plate 23 serves as the core filtering component, which can intercept impurities with smaller particle sizes and improve the purification accuracy of cooling water. At the same time, the water flow is first filtered by the filter plate, and then the scraper 22 is driven by the impeller to operate, forming a "filtration-anti-blocking" synergistic mechanism to avoid the decrease in filtration efficiency caused by the accumulation of impurities.

[0031] A filter plate 23 is provided on the inner side of the carrying tank 13, and the scraper 22 slides on the end face of the filter plate 23. Large particles of impurities are pushed by the scraper 22 to perform circular motion, forming a concentrated accumulation area at the edge of the filter plate, which is convenient for subsequent targeted cleaning, avoids local excessive blockage caused by disordered distribution of impurities, and improves the controllability of impurity treatment.

[0032] Usage process: When the cooling water enters the storage tank 11 through the water inlet 141 in the water inlet pipe 14, the falling cooling water will pass through the filter plate 23, and the cooling water will be filtered by the filter plate 23. The falling cooling water will also impact the impeller with its strong impact force. At this time, the impacted impeller will rotate, and the rotating impeller will drive the inner connecting rod 24 to rotate. After the connecting rod 24 rotates, the connecting rod 24 will drive the outer scraper 22 to rotate. The rotating scraper 22 will move the larger particles of impurities in the cooling water and push them to perform circular motion, so as to prevent them from clogging the filter plate 23 and affecting the normal use of the device.

[0033] Example 3, reference Figures 1 to 4 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, it further includes a transmission assembly 3. The transmission assembly 3 includes a transmission rod 31 arranged above the top cover 131, a first pulley 32 is provided above the transmission rod 31, and a cover plate 35 is provided above the first pulley 32.

[0034] A second pulley 34 is provided on the inner side of the cover plate 35, and an operating lever is provided below the second pulley 34. A belt 33 is provided between the first pulley 32 and the second pulley 34. The transmission assembly 3 adopts a transmission method of the first pulley 32, the second pulley 34 and the belt 33. The transmission is smooth and low-noise, and the belt 33 transmission has a buffering and vibration-absorbing effect, which can adapt to the power fluctuations caused by the impact of water flow, ensuring the stable operation of the connecting tube 42.

[0035] It also includes a rolling assembly 4, which includes a supporting plate 411 arranged below the operating rod, a fixing plate 4111 is provided below the supporting plate 411, a connecting tube 42 is provided at one end of the fixing plate 4111, and a filtering hole 421 is provided on the outside of the connecting tube 42.

[0036] A discharge pipe 45 is provided on the inside of the storage tank 11, and a discharge barrel 44 is provided above the discharge pipe 45, and a gear ring 441 is provided above the discharge barrel 44. A gear 43 is provided at one end of the filter hole 421, which is meshed with the gear ring 441. In the rolling assembly 4, the connecting barrel 42 realizes a compound motion of "swinging and rotating" through the meshing of the gear 43 and the gear ring 441. The agglomerated drug is repeatedly impacted and decomposed in the connecting barrel 42, forming fine particles that are evenly dispersed through the filter hole 421, ensuring that the drug and the cooling water are fully mixed, avoiding local concentrations that are too high or insufficient due to drug agglomeration, and significantly improving the sterilization and algaecide effect.

[0037] Among them, chemicals need to be added to the cooling water to eliminate bacteria and algae in the cooling water.

[0038] Oxidizing bactericide and algaecide

[0039] Chlorine: Chlorine gas produces strong oxidizing substances, such as hypochlorous acid, which oxidizes enzymes in microorganisms that are closely related to metabolism, thereby killing the microorganisms. However, chlorine gas may chlorinate trace organic compounds during use, resulting in certain toxicity and corrosiveness to equipment.

[0040] Chlorine dioxide: It has strong bactericidal ability and can effectively kill bacteria, algae and other microorganisms. The chlorine and chlorine dioxide composite gas produced can achieve continuous sterilization and algae removal.

[0041] Sodium hypochlorite: Similar to chlorine, it kills bacteria by releasing hypochlorous acid. It is relatively easy to use, but it also has problems such as corrosion of equipment.

[0042] Chlorinated isocyanuric acid: has good bactericidal effect and good stability under certain conditions.

[0043] Non-oxidizing bactericide and algaecide

[0044] Quaternary ammonium salts, such as dodecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, have broad-spectrum, highly effective bactericidal and algaecidal properties, effectively controlling bacterial and algal growth and slime growth in water, and are excellent at removing slime. However, microorganisms are prone to developing resistance to them, and they produce a lot of foam during use.

[0045] Glutaraldehyde: It is an effective non-oxidizing fungicide that can kill a variety of microorganisms.

[0046] Isothiazolinone: It has good bactericidal effect and is not easy to cause microorganisms to develop drug resistance.

[0047] Quaternary phosphate salts: such as tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium sulfate, are new non-oxidizing bactericides and algaecides with good bactericidal properties.

[0048] Composite fungicide and algaecide

[0049] SD-86 bactericide and algaecide: can be used for bactericidal and algaecidal treatment of cooling water systems.

[0050] THIF-229 bactericidal algaecide: It is a cationic surfactant with broad-spectrum and high-efficiency bactericidal and algaecidal capabilities. It can effectively control the reproduction of bacteria and algae and the growth of slime in water, and has good slime stripping effect and certain dispersing and penetrating effects.

[0051] In actual use, it is usually necessary to select appropriate agents based on the specific characteristics of the cooling water system and the growth of bacteria and algae, and adopt the method of alternating the addition of oxidizing and non-oxidizing bactericidal algaecides to achieve better bactericidal and algaecidal effects while avoiding the development of drug resistance in microorganisms.

[0052] Among them, some medicines may cause problems such as clumping when stored for a long time.

[0053] Oxidizing bactericide and algaecide

[0054] Solid active bromine fungicide algaecide: It must be stored to prevent moisture and caking.

[0055] SGR0705 oxidizing bactericidal algaecide: Store in a cool and dry place. Avoid moisture, otherwise it will clump.

[0056] HL-501 oxidizing fungicide: Store in a cool, dry place indoors. The content will decrease with increasing temperature and prolonged storage time, but it is not clearly mentioned whether it will agglomerate.

[0057] Non-oxidizing bactericide and algaecide

[0058] SM-991Y solid active bromine fungicide algaecide: It must be stored in a cool and dry place to prevent moisture and caking.

[0059] Composite fungicide and algaecide

[0060] SGR0707 oxidizing bactericidal algaecide: Store in a cool and dry place. Avoid moisture, otherwise it will clump.

[0061] Usage process: When the medicine stored for a long time is agglomerated, the transmission rod 31 above is driven to rotate by the connecting rod 24, and the transmission rod 31 drives the first pulley 32 above to rotate, and then the belt 33 outside the first pulley 32 drives the second pulley 34 to rotate, and finally the operating shaft below the second pulley 34 rotates. When the operating shaft rotates, the fixed plate 4111 below is driven to rotate by the operating shaft, and the fixed plate 4111 drives the connecting cylinder 42 to swing in a circle. When the connecting cylinder 42 swings, the connecting cylinder 4 2 drives the gear 43 to swing in a circle. At this time, the gear 43 is meshed with the gear ring 441, causing the gear 43 to rotate during the swinging process. The gear 43 drives the connecting cylinder 42 to rotate. During the rotation of the connecting cylinder 42, the connecting cylinder 42 drives the medicine inside to rotate, so that the medicine hits the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 42 during the rotation, so that the agglomerated medicine is decomposed and dispersed into the discharge cylinder 44 and the discharge pipe 45 through the filter hole 421, and flows into the storage tank 11 to mix with the cooling water, thereby sterilizing and removing algae from the cooling water.
