The secondary sedimentation tank is mostly circular radial flow sedimentation tank, which can be divided into structures such as week inlet and week outlet, and middle inlet and week outlet according to the inlet and outlet water mode. The sewage is uniformly introduced into the tank through the water inlet channel at the edge of the circular tank body and the water distribution hole distributed at the bottom of the water inlet channel in the secondary sedimentation tank with week inlet and week outlet. The water body after sedimentation overflows to the top outlet chute arranged along the periphery of the circular tank body and enters the subsequent treatment facility.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an automatic cleaning system for floating mud in the inlet channel of a secondary sedimentation tank includes a solar module, a main control system, a mud scraping trolley module and a sewage suction pump 8 module.
[0023] The solar module includes an 18V / 5W solar panel, a TP4056 charging module, a 1N5819 diode, a DW01A protection board, two 3.7V lithium batteries with a capacity of 4000mAh, an XL6009 boost module, an LM78055V voltage regulator, an LED indicator, and a power switch. The 18V / 5W solar panel is connected to the TP4056 charging module, which in turn is connected to the 3.7V lithium battery. The 1N5819 diode and DW01A protection board provide overload protection for the 3.7V lithium battery. The 3.7V lithium battery is connected to the XL6009 boost module, which has a 12V output voltage. The LM78055V voltage regulator is connected to the XL6009 boost module to provide power for the LED indicator. The LED indicators include a red LED at point A and a green LED at point B, indicating the status of the scraper at points A and B, respectively.
[0024] The main control system consists of a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator module, a cascaded CD4020 frequency divider, and magnetic switches located at point A at the end of inlet channel 11 and at point B at the water inlet of inlet channel 11. Adjacent to inlet channel 11 is outlet channel 12. The crystal oscillator module, connected to the cascaded CD4020 frequency divider, controls the magnetic switch at point A, activating the system every 12 hours.
[0025] The scraper trolley module consists of a trolley body 2, a retractable scraper arm, and dual relays. The trolley body 2 is mounted on the inner wall of the water inlet channel 11. Its base is equipped with a wheel assembly consisting of running wheels 6 and guide wheels 7, which guide the trolley along the inner wall of the water inlet channel 11. The retractable scraper arm includes a scraper blade support arm 3 and a retractable scraper blade 4, which can be extended or retracted according to the width of the water inlet channel 11. The dual relays control the forward and reverse rotation of the trolley motor, enabling the trolley to travel and return to its starting point.
[0026] The sewage pump module 8 is located at point B and includes the sewage pump 8, a 12V / 0.5A water pump, a sewage pipe 9, a magnetic switch, and a 555 monostable. The sewage pump 8 is connected to the sewage pipe 9, through which it discharges scum into the scum hopper 10 and ultimately out. The sewage pump 8 is connected to the 555 monostable via an IRF540N MOSFET, and the magnetic switch is also connected to the 555 monostable. When the scraper car reaches the sewage pump 8, the magnetic switch is triggered, which in turn triggers the 555 monostable, turning the sewage pump 8 on. After five minutes, the 555 monostable outputs a low level, turning the sewage pump 8 off.
[0027] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the retractable scraper 4 is the core component of the scraper trolley module for cleaning floating mud. Its structure mainly includes two parts: the scraper arm 3 and the retractable scraper 4, which cooperate with the scraper guide wheel 5 to achieve the following functions: Mud scraping arm 3: as a support structure, one end is connected with the mud scraping trolley body 2, and a telescopic scraper 4 is provided with a mounting base and a force support to ensure that the scraper remains stable during movement with the trolley.
[0028] Telescopic scraper 4: directly contact with floating mud, the sleeve set matched with the spring sliding connection is adapted to the width of the water inlet channel 11, the telescopic scraper 4 cooperates with the mud scraping arm 3, and the telescopic scraper 4 can automatically adjust the extension length according to the width change of the water inlet channel 11. When the trolley walks along the variable-width horn-shaped water inlet channel 11, the scraper can extend as the water channel width increases and shrink as the water channel width decreases, so that the scraper is attached to the inner walls of the water inlet channel 11 on both sides and completely scrapes the surface floating mud.
[0029] Mud scraping plate guide wheel 5: installed on both sides or edges of the scraper, moves synchronously with the scraper, plays a guiding and limiting role in the telescopic process of the scraper, reduces the friction between the scraper and the inner wall of the water inlet channel 11, ensures smooth telescopic action, and avoids the offset of the scraper due to uneven force.
[0030] The application also provides a two-sedimentation-tank water inlet channel 11 floating mud cleaning method based on the above-mentioned two-sedimentation-tank water inlet channel 11 floating mud automatic cleaning system, and the method comprises the following steps: The solar panel 1 generates electric energy, the TP4056 charging module charges the 3.7V lithium battery, the 1N5819 diode and the DW01A protection plate provide overload protection for the battery, the lithium battery is connected with the XL6009 voltage boosting module, the output voltage is raised to 12V, and the LM7805 5V voltage stabilizer provides power supply for the LED indicator lamp.
[0031] The system is in the initial state, the mud scraping trolley is parked at point A, the red LED at point A is on, indicating that the system is in the initial standby state. The main control system 32.768kHz crystal oscillator module 5+ cascaded CD4020 frequency divider controls the A point magnetic control switch, which is started once every 12 hours. The first relay of the mud scraping trolley is attracted, the motor is started and the trolley walks along the inner wall of the water inlet channel 11. The guide wheel 7 plays a guiding role during walking, ensuring that the trolley walks along the predetermined track. When reaching point B where the sewage pump 8 is located, the telescopic mud scraping arm installed on the mud scraping trolley can adapt to the width change of the water inlet channel 11, and the floating mud in the water inlet channel 11 is scraped to point B where the sewage pump 8 is located.
[0032] After the sewage pump 8 runs for 5 minutes, the 555 monostable output is low, the sewage pump 8 stops running, the second relay of the mud scraping trolley is attracted, the trolley motor is reversed, the trolley returns to point A along the inner wall of the water inlet channel 11, the A point magnetic control switch is triggered, the second relay of the mud scraping trolley is disconnected, the trolley motor stops, the red LED at point A is on, indicating that the system is in the initial standby state, and the whole system enters the next cycle period.
[0033] Finally, it is to be explained that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application but not to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the purpose and scope of the present application, and all of them should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
