Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil-water separator technology, specifically to a continuous automatic oil-water separator and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] An oil-water separator is a device that uses physical or chemical principles to separate oil (such as crude oil, fuel oil, and waste cooking oil) from water (such as wastewater and oily sewage). Its core objective is to achieve efficient oil and water separation, reduce environmental pollution, and simultaneously recover valuable oil resources.

[0003] The existing authorized patent CN116161742B, "An oil-water separator for collecting waste oil," describes a valve body containing "a main chamber, a first secondary chamber, and a second secondary chamber, both surrounding the main chamber and annular in shape; an air inlet connector connected to the main chamber and supplying air to the main chamber; a water inlet connector connected to the first secondary chamber; and a water outlet connector connected to the second secondary chamber. Multiple openings are provided on the inner walls of both the first and second secondary chambers, communicating with the main chamber, and the first secondary chamber is located above the second secondary chamber." The valve body has a third auxiliary chamber located above the first auxiliary chamber. Multiple oil guiding channels are formed on the inner wall of the third auxiliary chamber. Multiple sliding grooves are formed in a ring on the inner wall of the main chamber. The sliding grooves are vertical, and the openings of the oil guiding channels are located on the inner wall of the sliding grooves. This achieves the characteristics of "simple structure, small size, small space occupation, convenient installation and use, low cost, and can be directly installed in pipelines to perform oil-water separation treatment of wastewater in pipelines. It greatly reduces the various restrictions on oil-water separation equipment, improves the convenience and popularity of use, and accelerates the oil-water separation speed and has high working efficiency".

[0004] In actual use, the aeration device introduces gas from the bottom of the main chamber to aerate the wastewater. Since the first secondary chamber is connected to the main chamber through a port, even if the port diameter is small and the port is inclined, the process of the bubbles carrying oil moving upward in the wastewater is uncontrollable. Moreover, the bubbles are of different sizes, and some bubbles will still enter the first secondary chamber through the port. This causes the oil in the bubbles to re-enter the wastewater circulation or be discharged into the oil-water separator. After the device is used, the oil and other impurities contained in the wastewater will remain inside the oil-water separator, affecting the next use of the device.

[0005] To address this issue, we propose a continuous automatic oil-water separator and its application method. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Preferably, the continuous automatic oil-water separator and its usage method include the following steps:

[0023] Step 2: The wastewater to be treated enters the inlet chamber through the inlet pipe, and then enters the outlet chamber through the inlet chamber and the connecting chamber. Finally, it enters the treatment chamber through the circulation outlet.

[0024] Step 3: The gas introduced into the treatment chamber through the aeration pipe comes into contact with the wastewater inside the treatment chamber to aerate the wastewater and carry the oil in the wastewater to the surface.

[0025] Step 4: The wastewater level rises in the positioning component, and the wastewater flows back into the inlet chamber through the annular filter plate and the circulation inlet.

[0026] Step 5: The wastewater level inside the positioning component rises, the oil baffle rises, the gas overflow component rises, and the swing scraper swings, scraping the oil on the surface of the wastewater through the oil outlet into the oil storage chamber, and then discharging it through the oil discharge pipe. The oil-water separation treatment of the wastewater is completed.

[0027] Step 6: The wastewater after multiple aeration treatments is discharged from the separator shell through the filter disc and drainage pipe.

[0028] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a continuous automatic oil-water separator and its usage method, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] The design incorporates an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber, a connecting chamber, a circulating inlet, a circulating outlet, and a treatment chamber. This allows the wastewater to circulate within the oil-water separator, continuously contacting the gas within the aeration device. The gas bubbles carry the oil in the wastewater to the top of the liquid surface, completing the continuous oil-water separation process. The circulating flow ensures thorough mixing of the wastewater and bubbles, preventing dead zones or short-circuiting and maximizing the probability of oil droplets being captured by the bubbles. Furthermore, the use of circular baffles, annular filter plates, and positioning components prevents direct contact between the bubbles and the circulating inlet and outlet during wastewater aeration, thus preventing the bubbles from carrying oil back into the wastewater recycling process.

[0030] By setting up the positioning components, when wastewater flows from the small rectangular channel below into the large rectangular channel above, the flow velocity gradually decreases. The low-speed flow can reduce the shear force on the aeration bubbles, avoid bubble breakage or dispersion, maintain the stable adsorption of bubbles and oil droplets, and the isosceles trapezoidal area forms a "contraction-expansion" structure, generating a slight eddy, promoting gas-liquid mixing, increasing the contact probability of oil droplets and bubbles, and the low flow velocity in the large rectangular channel above makes it easy for the oil layer to accumulate on the liquid surface.

[0031] By setting up limiting components and turbulence fans, the smooth sides and symmetry of the hexagonal frame of the limiting components can reduce the separation of the fluid boundary layer and reduce the turbulence intensity, allowing wastewater to pass through in a laminar or low-turbulence state, which is conducive to the stable adsorption of bubbles and oil droplets inside the positioning component. At the same time, as the bubbles in the wastewater continue to rise and the liquid flows, the blades of the turbulence fan will rotate inside the positioning component under the action of bubbles and liquid. The turbulence fan generates micro eddies during the flow of wastewater, which promotes the uniform mixing of bubbles, oil droplets and solid particles. The eddies can break the stagnant layer around the oil droplets, accelerate the collision efficiency of bubbles and oil droplets, and improve the oil removal rate.

[0032] By using a swing scraper, oil on top of the liquid surface can be scraped off in conjunction with the swing operation. With the oil outlet and oil storage chamber in place, oil is prevented from flowing back to the top of the wastewater after scraping. By actively scraping instead of passively separating, the swing scraper actively pushes the oil layer with mechanical force, which can shorten the oil layer removal time. The smooth pushing action of the swing scraper can reduce the shear force on the oil layer, preventing oil droplets from breaking into smaller particles and redispersing. In addition, the oil storage chamber is isolated from the wastewater area to prevent oil from flowing back to the top of the wastewater due to water flow disturbance or temperature changes.

[0033] The positioning groove, pressing block, and compression spring design allow the annular baffle, annular filter plate, and positioning components to be separable from the separator housing. This enables separate cleaning of each part, preventing oil buildup inside the oil-water separator. The separable design allows for direct cleaning or replacement of contaminated components, reducing oil residue. Furthermore, the detachable arrangement of the annular baffle, annular filter plate, and positioning components ensures that these parts can be removed for cleaning. If any part fails, it is readily replaceable, extending the lifespan of the oil-water separator. Attached Figure Description

[0068] Example 2: A continuous automatic oil-water separator and its usage method, including the following steps:

[0069] Step 1: Connect the inlet pipe 12 to the external wastewater discharge pipe, connect the drain pipe 13 to the external treated wastewater discharge pipe, and connect the aeration pipe 29 to the external aeration device. Introduce gas into the separator shell 11 through the aeration pipe 29.

[0070] Step 2: The wastewater to be treated enters the inlet chamber 21 through the inlet pipe 12, and then enters the outlet chamber 22 through the inlet chamber 21 and the connecting chamber 23. Finally, it enters the treatment chamber 27 through the circulation outlet 26.

[0071] Step 3: The gas introduced into the treatment chamber 27 through the aeration pipe 29 comes into contact with the wastewater inside the treatment chamber 27 to aerate the wastewater and carry the oil in the wastewater to the surface of the wastewater.

[0072] Step 4: The wastewater level rises in the positioning component 2803. The wastewater flows back into the inlet chamber 21 through the annular filter plate 2802 and the circulation inlet 25. It then mixes with the wastewater in the inlet chamber 21 and enters the treatment chamber 27 again through the connecting chamber 23, the discharge chamber 22, and the circulation outlet 26 to complete the circulation.

[0073] Step 5: The wastewater level in the positioning component 2803 rises, the oil baffle 46 rises, the gas overflow component 44 rises, and the swing scraper 56 swings, scraping the oil on the surface of the wastewater through the oil outlet 47 into the oil storage chamber 48, and then discharging it through the oil discharge pipe 49. The oil-water separation treatment of the wastewater is completed.

[0074] Step 6: The wastewater after multiple aeration treatments is discharged from the separator shell 11 through the filter plate 14 and the drainage pipe 13.

[0075] The overall working process and principle of the above embodiments are as follows:

[0076] Connection of oil-water separator:

[0077] The inlet pipe 12 is connected to the external wastewater discharge pipe, and the drain pipe 13 is connected to the external treated wastewater discharge pipe. The wastewater is then treated by oil-water separation through an oil-water separator. Subsequently, the aeration pipe 29 is connected to an external aeration device. Air is introduced into the treatment chamber 27 through the external aeration device and the aeration pipe 29 to perform oil-water separation.

[0078] Specifically, when wastewater enters the separator housing 11 through the inlet pipe 12, the wastewater will enter the inlet chamber 21 connected to the inlet pipe 12. Since the inlet chamber 21 and the outlet chamber 22 are connected through the connecting chamber 23, the wastewater entering the inlet chamber 21 will enter the outlet chamber 22 through the connecting chamber 23. Since the outlet chamber 22 is connected to the treatment chamber 27 through the circulation outlet 26, the wastewater will enter the treatment chamber 27 through the circulation outlet 26.

[0079] In the above process, since the top wall of the inlet chamber 21 is fixedly connected with an annular baffle 24, when the wastewater enters the inlet chamber 21 through the inlet pipe 12, the water flow will contact the outer wall of the annular baffle 24, thus avoiding direct contact between the wastewater and the wall of the inlet chamber 21 and causing impact. In addition, since the inlet pipe 12 is composed of two pipes with different horizontal heights connected to each other, and the vertical height of the pipe at the end of the inlet pipe 12 away from the separator housing 11 is higher than that of the pipe at the end of the inlet pipe 12 close to the separator housing 11, the wastewater can be completely discharged into the interior of the separator housing 11 through the inlet pipe 12.

[0080] Meanwhile, staff introduce gas into the treatment chamber 27 through an external aeration device and aeration pipe 29. As the volume of wastewater in the treatment chamber 27 gradually increases, the wastewater level will gradually rise inside the treatment chamber 27 and the positioning component 2803. As the aeration device performs oil-water separation treatment on the wastewater, the wastewater level inside the positioning component 2803 will gradually rise and eventually reach the annular filter plate 2802. Since the inlet chamber 21 is connected to the treatment chamber 27 through the circulation inlet 25, and the annular filter plate 2802 is located at the connection between the treatment chamber 27 and the circulation inlet 25, when the wastewater level gradually overflows the annular filter plate 2802, some wastewater will re-enter the inlet chamber 21 through the annular filter plate 2802 and the circulation inlet 25.

[0081] In the above process, the circular baffle 2801, the annular filter element and the positioning element 2803 are set to separate the wastewater that has been aerated from the wastewater that has not been aerated. At the same time, when the liquid level of the wastewater after the initial aeration treatment rises to the annular filter plate 2802, some of the wastewater will re-enter the inlet chamber 21 through the annular filter plate 2802 and the circulation inlet 25. Due to the setting of the annular baffle 24, the wastewater that re-enters the inlet chamber 21 will be blocked by the inner ring surface of the annular baffle 24, which reduces the direct collision between the wastewater after the initial aeration treatment and the wastewater that enters the inlet chamber 21 through the inlet pipe 12. Subsequently, the wastewater after the initial treatment will continue to re-enter the treatment chamber 27 through the connecting chamber 23, the discharge chamber 22 and the circulation outlet 26 for aeration treatment again.

[0082] Meanwhile, since the discharge chamber 22 is also connected to the drainage pipe 13, some wastewater will be discharged through the drainage pipe 13. Since the drainage pipe 13 is composed of two pipes with different horizontal heights connected to each other, and the vertical height of the pipe at the end of the drainage pipe 13 away from the separator housing 11 is higher than that of the pipe at the end of the drainage pipe 13 near the separator housing 11, as well as the filter disc 14 installed in the two pipes, and the height of the end of the drainage pipe 13 away from the separator housing 11 is higher than the height of the circulation outlet 26, when the wastewater first enters the treatment chamber 27 through the discharge chamber 22 and the circulation outlet 26, the wastewater will be blocked by the drainage pipe 13 and the filter disc 14 and cannot be discharged through the drainage pipe 13.

[0083] It should be noted that, due to the installation of the filter plate 14 inside the drainage pipe 13, even if the inner diameters of the inlet pipe 12 and the drainage pipe 13 are the same, the filter plate 14 obstructs the wastewater flow channel inside the drainage pipe 13, thereby affecting the actual flow rate of the drainage pipe 13, making the flow velocity of the wastewater in the drainage pipe 13 less than that in the inlet pipe 12.

[0084] Therefore, as wastewater is continuously fed into the separator housing through the inlet pipe 12, the wastewater level inside the treatment chamber 27 will gradually rise, thereby completing the circulation and aeration of the wastewater inside the separator housing 11 through the annular filter plate 2802 and the circulation inlet 25. A large number of bubbles are formed in the wastewater in the treatment chamber 27 through the aeration device, which carries the oil contained in the wastewater to the liquid surface, thereby completing the further oil-water separation treatment of the wastewater.

[0085] Furthermore, during the process of oil-water separation treatment of wastewater in treatment chamber 27 through external aeration device and aeration pipe 29, due to the setting of annular baffle 2801, annular filter plate 2802 and positioning member 2803 in treatment chamber 27, the interior of treatment chamber 27 is divided into two parts: one part is wastewater that enters treatment chamber 27 directly from outside positioning member 2803 through circulating drain port, and the other part is wastewater located inside positioning member 2803 that comes into direct contact with gas discharged through aeration pipe 29;

[0086] For the wastewater located inside the positioning component 2803, the gas in the aeration pipe 29 will directly contact this part of the wastewater to perform oil-water separation treatment. Since the cross-section of the positioning component 2803 is composed of two rectangles of different sizes and an isosceles trapezoid set between the two rectangles, and the size of the upper rectangle in the vertical direction is larger than that of the lower rectangle, the wastewater flow channel inside the positioning component 2803 gradually increases. When the wastewater flows from the lower small rectangular channel into the upper large rectangular channel, the flow velocity gradually decreases. The low-speed flow can reduce the shear force on the aeration bubbles, avoid the bubbles from breaking or dispersing, maintain the stable adsorption of bubbles and oil droplets, and the isosceles trapezoidal area forms a "contraction-expansion" structure, generating a slight eddy, promoting gas-liquid mixing, increasing the contact probability of oil droplets and bubbles, and the low flow velocity in the upper large rectangular channel makes it easy for the oil layer to accumulate on the liquid surface.

[0087] The difference between the above-mentioned technical means and the existing technology is that, in the process of separating oil and water in wastewater, the annular filter plate 2802 prevents the separated oil from re-entering the wastewater recycling process through the circulation inlet 25, and in the process of aerating wastewater inside the positioning component 2803 with the aeration pipe 29, the bubbles generated during the aeration process are prevented from carrying oil through the circulation inlet 25.

[0088] Furthermore, when the treated wastewater re-enters the recycling process, it will be blocked by the annular baffle 24 set in the water inlet 21 when it is re-circulated through the recycling inlet 25. This prevents the wastewater from being re-circulated from colliding with the wastewater that initially enters the water inlet 21, thus affecting the oil-water separation process when the wastewater enters the water inlet 21 through the water inlet pipe 12.

[0089] Meanwhile, the hexagonal frame-type limiting component 2804 located inside the positioning component 2803 and the baffle fan 2805 located inside the limiting component 2804 make the contact between the bubbles and the oil in the wastewater more sufficient. Specifically, the smooth sidewalls and symmetry of the hexagonal frame can reduce the separation of the fluid boundary layer and reduce the turbulence intensity, allowing the wastewater to pass through in a laminar or low-turbulence state, which is conducive to the stable adsorption of bubbles and oil droplets inside the positioning component 2803. At the same time, as the bubbles in the wastewater continue to rise and the liquid flows, the blades of the baffle fan 2805 will rotate inside the positioning component 2803 under the action of bubbles and liquid. The baffle fan 2805 generates micro eddies during the flow of wastewater, which promotes the uniform mixing of bubbles, oil droplets and solid particles. The eddies can break the stagnant layer around the oil droplets, accelerate the collision efficiency of bubbles and oil droplets, and improve the oil removal rate.

[0090] The arrangement of the inlet chamber 21, outlet chamber 22, connecting chamber 23, circulating inlet 25, circulating outlet 26, and treatment chamber 27 allows the wastewater to circulate within the oil-water separator, continuously contacting the gas in the aeration device. This carries the oil in the wastewater to the top of the liquid surface via air bubbles, completing the continuous oil-water separation process. The circulating flow ensures thorough mixing of the wastewater and air bubbles, avoiding dead zones or short-circuiting, and maximizing the probability of oil droplets being captured by the air bubbles. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the annular baffle 2801, annular filter plate 2802, and positioning element 2803 prevents direct contact between air bubbles and the circulating inlet 25 and circulating outlet 26 during the wastewater aeration process, thus preventing air bubbles from carrying oil back into the wastewater recycling process.

[0091] As the wastewater aeration process proceeds and the wastewater level inside the positioning component 2803 gradually rises, since both the gas overflow component 44 and the driven plate 51 have through holes, and the through holes on the gas overflow component 44 and the driven plate 51 are staggered, in the initial state, the oil-laden bubbles after aeration carry the oil to the liquid surface and burst, and the gas accumulates between the wastewater surface and the gas overflow component 44. As the liquid level rises and the gas accumulates, the bottom of the wastewater surface will contact the bottom of the oil baffle 46, and as the liquid level gradually rises, it will exert an upward pushing force on the oil baffle 46. At the same time, the gradual increase in gas pressure will also exert an upward force on the gas overflow component 44.

[0092] Then, the oil baffle 46 and the gas overflow component 44 move vertically upward in the vertical slot 41 and the positioning slide 42. When the gas overflow component 44 moves, it will stretch the telescopic spring 43 set in the positioning slide 42. The cylindrical moving rod 45 fixedly connected to the bottom of the gas overflow component 44 will move upward synchronously. The cylindrical moving rod 45 will drive the driven slider 54 fixedly connected to its outer surface to move upward. Since the driven slider 54 is slidably connected in the spiral groove 53 opened in the inner wall of the cylindrical driven component 52, the sliding of the driven slider 54 will contact the inclined groove wall of the spiral groove 53, forcing the spiral groove 53 to move, thereby causing the cylindrical driven component 52 to rotate inside the limiting rod 57.

[0093] The rotation of the cylindrical follower 52 drives the connecting rod 55, which is rotatably connected to its side, to move synchronously. This, in turn, causes the swing scraper 56 to swing around its connection point with the connecting rod 58. Simultaneously, as the driven plate 51 rotates under the influence of the cylindrical follower 52, the gas overflow parts 44 and the through holes on the driven plate 51, which were originally staggered, gradually overlap. As the gas overflow parts 44 rise, the gas that was originally accumulated at the top of the wastewater surface gradually dissipates. At this time, the gas pressure between the liquid surface and the driven plate 51 gradually decreases. In the positioning part 2803, the gas pressure at the top of the liquid surface is P. gas It provides support for the liquid level height h. According to the principles of fluid statics: P gas =P0 + ρgh, where P0 is atmospheric pressure, ρ is liquid density, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is liquid level. Therefore, when the gas escapes, the gas pressure P... gas Decreasing the liquid level will cause the liquid height h to drop in order to rebalance the pressure relationship;

[0094] Therefore, the upward pushing force of the liquid surface on the oil baffle 46 decreases, the upward pushing force on the gas overflow component 44 decreases, and then under the action of the elastic force of the extension spring 43, it tends to rebound downward, thereby causing the above structure to move in the opposite direction according to the above steps. It should be noted that since the aeration device is constantly running inside the wastewater and the gas escape speed is constantly changing with the rising speed of the bubbles, the air pressure below the gas overflow component 44 is also constantly changing, thus causing the gas overflow component 44 to be in a state of continuous rising or falling.

[0095] When the gas overflow component 44 rises, the part of the gas overflow component 44 that is slidably connected to the vertical slot 41 will rise accordingly. At this time, the oil outlet 47 that was originally blocked by the gas overflow component 44 will leak out. Since the oil storage chamber 48 is connected to the inside of the annular baffle 2801 through the oil outlet 47, as the swing scraper 56 moves, the swing scraper 56 will scrape the oil at the top of the liquid surface from the middle of the liquid surface to both sides of the liquid surface, and scrape the oil through the oil outlet 47 into the oil storage chamber 48, thereby scraping off the oil at the top of the wastewater liquid surface, thus completing the oil-water separation treatment of the wastewater.

[0096] The difference between the above-mentioned technical means and the existing technology is that, while the wastewater is being treated by circulating aeration, the oil carried to the surface of the liquid by the air bubbles after the wastewater treatment is scraped off. The coordinated operation of circulating aeration and mechanical scraping continues after the wastewater enters the oil-water separator. While not affecting the oil-water separation operation, the oil accumulated on the surface of the wastewater is collected and cleaned, avoiding the situation where too much oil accumulates on the surface of the wastewater, thereby affecting the wastewater circulation in the oil-water separator.

[0097] It should be noted that, in the above process, since the cross-section of the oil storage chamber 48 is composed of a rectangle at the top and a trapezoid at the bottom, and the channel of the trapezoidal part of the oil storage chamber 48 is connected to the oil discharge pipe 49 through one end of the separator shell 11, the oil entering the oil storage chamber 48 will eventually flow into the trapezoidal part. This avoids the phenomenon of oil flowing back from the oil storage chamber 48 and the oil outlet 47 due to the movement of the liquid surface and the scraping operation of the swing scraper 56. Finally, the oil is discharged through the oil discharge pipe 49, thus completely completing the oil-water separation treatment of the wastewater.

[0098] By using the swing scraper 56, the oil on top of the liquid surface can be scraped off in conjunction with the swing operation. With the oil outlet 47 and the oil storage chamber 48, the oil is prevented from flowing back to the top of the wastewater after being scraped off. By actively scraping instead of passively separating, the swing scraper 56 actively pushes the oil layer with mechanical force, which can shorten the oil layer removal time. The smooth pushing action of the swing scraper 56 can reduce the shear force on the oil layer and prevent the oil droplets from breaking into smaller particles and redispersing. In addition, the oil storage chamber 48 is isolated from the wastewater area to prevent the oil from flowing back to the top of the wastewater due to water flow disturbance or temperature changes.

[0099] After the oil-water separator has finished treating the wastewater, the operator can press the pressing blocks 32 located on both sides of the annular baffle 2801. When the pressing blocks 32 are under pressure, they compress the compression spring 33 located between the pressing blocks 32 and the annular baffle 2801. At this time, the pressing blocks 32 are disengaged from the positioning groove 31, and the operator can remove the annular baffle 2801, the annular filter plate 2802, and the positioning element 2803 from the separator housing 11, thus completing the separation of the annular baffle 2801, the annular filter plate 2802, and the positioning element 2803 from the separator housing 11.

[0100] The positioning groove 31, pressing block 32, and compression spring 33 enable the annular baffle 2801, annular filter plate 2802, and positioning element 2803 to be separable from the separator housing 11, allowing for separate cleaning of the two parts. This prevents oil from accumulating inside the oil-water separator. The separable design allows for direct cleaning or replacement of contaminated parts, reducing oil residue. Furthermore, the detachable arrangement of the annular baffle 2801, annular filter plate 2802, and positioning element 2803 allows for easy removal and cleaning of these parts. In the event of a part failure, it is also replaceable, extending the service life of the oil-water separator.

[0101] Finally, the wastewater, after being recycled and treated by oil-water separation, will be discharged from the separator housing 11 through the drain pipe 13.
