Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to a combined wastewater treatment device and method with stratified aeration. Background Technology

[0002] Wastewater treatment is crucial for ensuring the sustainable use of water resources. With limited freshwater resources on Earth, wastewater treatment enables the recycling of water, alleviates water shortages, reduces over-exploitation of natural water sources, and guarantees a stable supply of water for industry, agriculture, and residential use.

[0003] Aeration plays a crucial role in wastewater treatment and is a core element in ensuring treatment effectiveness. By forcibly introducing air into the wastewater, it significantly increases the dissolved oxygen concentration, providing essential oxygen for aerobic microorganisms and thus efficiently decomposing organic matter in the wastewater. Referring to the wastewater treatment aeration device disclosed in patent application CN111423056A, the wastewater in the aeration tank circulates, and the water flow pushed upwards by the blades through the large through-holes forms a cross-impact effect through the branch pipes, resulting in better aeration and higher efficiency, achieving sufficient aeration. Referring to the wastewater treatment aeration device disclosed in patent application CN118405782A, by setting a locking plate, the load-bearing support component can be limited and fixed, allowing it to be stably installed on the top of the wastewater treatment tank. The combination of the load-bearing support component and the locking plate allows for the limitation and fixing of the adjustable component, while also enabling adjustment of its position on the wastewater treatment tank, thereby increasing the flexibility of the adjustable component.

[0004] The above-mentioned sewage treatment aeration devices in actual use have the following defects: (1) Since the bottom of the aeration tank is the main sedimentation area of ​​activated sludge, the microbial density is high and the metabolic activity is vigorous, resulting in the maximum oxygen demand. As the concentration of organic matter decreases from the bottom of the tank to the top of the tank, the metabolic demand of microorganisms decreases, which gradually reduces the oxygen demand in the tank and at the top of the tank. However, some aeration tanks currently use a uniform oxygen supply method, which uniformly transports air to the bottom, middle and top of the aeration tank, resulting in excessive oxygen supply in the middle and top of the tank and energy waste; for example, the sewage treatment aeration device disclosed in patent application CN118405782A cannot flexibly adjust the air supply according to the oxygen demand at different heights of the aeration tank, resulting in the same amount of air being transported to different water layers, thus wasting air and increasing the energy consumption of the air supply equipment; (2) Since most of the aeration heads in the aeration tank are installed at the bottom of the tank, although they can ensure sufficient dissolved oxygen at the bottom of the aeration tank, the oxygen gradually dissolves and is consumed during the rising of the bubbles, which easily leads to insufficient dissolved oxygen concentration at locations far from the bottom of the tank, thus failing to ensure the activity of microorganisms in the tank and easily causing the problem that organic matter in the sewage cannot be fully decomposed. For example, the wastewater treatment aeration device disclosed in patent application CN118405782A has multiple aeration heads set at the bottom of the aeration tank. Although it can provide sufficient dissolved oxygen for microorganisms at the bottom of the aeration tank, it cannot guarantee the dissolved oxygen concentration at locations far from the bottom of the tank, which can easily lead to the problem that organic matter in the aeration tank cannot be fully decomposed.

[0005] Therefore, this invention proposes a combined wastewater treatment device and method with layered aeration to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Purpose of the Invention: To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention provides a combined wastewater treatment device and method with layered aeration. It addresses the current problem that the bottom of the aeration tank, being the main sedimentation zone for activated sludge, has a high density of microorganisms, active metabolism, and the highest oxygen demand. As the concentration of organic matter gradually decreases from the middle to the top of the tank, the metabolic activity and oxygen demand of microorganisms also decrease. Currently, some aeration tanks still use uniform oxygen supply, i.e., simultaneous air supply to the bottom, middle, and top of the tank, resulting in excessive oxygen supply in the middle and top, leading to energy waste. Furthermore, while the aeration heads are mostly located at the bottom of the tank, ensuring sufficient dissolved oxygen, the oxygen dissolves and is consumed as the bubbles rise, resulting in insufficient dissolved oxygen concentration in the middle of the tank, affecting microbial activity, and consequently making it difficult to fully decompose organic matter in the wastewater.

[0007] Technical solution: The present invention provides a combined wastewater treatment device with layered aeration, comprising an aeration tank and inlet and outlet pipes fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the aeration tank, and further comprising:

[0008] The first and second aeration mechanisms are respectively located on the bottom sides of the inner cavity of the aeration tank, and are used to transport air to sewage at different water levels to increase the dissolved oxygen concentration at each water level and provide the necessary oxygen for aerobic microorganisms.

[0009] The first aeration mechanism includes a support component. The support component is equipped with a lifting mechanism that automatically floats up or down using externally input air power. During the floating process, different amounts of air are delivered to the bottom area, middle area and top area of ​​the aeration tank according to the distance from the top of the tank. Multiple aeration generating components are also evenly arranged on the outer wall of the lifting mechanism. The aeration generating components automatically swing during the floating process, increasing the aeration area and agitating the sewage at the same time.

[0010] The blower is fixedly installed on the side wall of the aeration tank and controlled by a controller. The output end of the blower is connected to the first aeration mechanism and the second aeration mechanism through pipes, and is used to simultaneously supply oxygen-enriched air to the first aeration mechanism and the second aeration mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the first aeration mechanism and the second aeration mechanism have the same structure. The supporting component includes a supporting cylinder detachably disposed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the aeration tank and a cylinder cover fixedly disposed at the top of the supporting cylinder. An air supply pipe is fixedly disposed at the top of the cylinder cover. One end of the air supply pipe passes through the cylinder cover and is fixedly disposed with a third air supply hose. A guide rod is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the supporting cylinder. The lifting mechanism slides up or down along the outer wall of the guide rod. The outer wall of the supporting cylinder is also evenly provided with lifting clearance slots corresponding to the positions of multiple aeration generating components. Multiple aeration generating components are slidably disposed in the lifting clearance slots at their corresponding positions. A swing drive component is provided on the inner wall of the lifting clearance slot for driving the aeration generating component at that position to swing back and forth.

[0012] Furthermore, the swing drive assembly includes a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate fixedly disposed on both sides of the inner wall of the lifting and avoiding passage.

[0013] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a suspension cylinder and multiple mounting holes evenly opened on the side wall of the suspension cylinder. Annular grooves are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the outer wall of the suspension cylinder. An airbag is fixedly installed in each annular groove. The buoyancy generated by the inflation of two airbags allows the lifting mechanism to float entirely in the sewage. Multiple lifting drive components are evenly arranged at the bottom of the suspension cylinder. Below the lifting drive components and located at the bottom of the bearing cylinder, a touch control component is provided that simultaneously triggers multiple lifting drive components to change the direction of thrust.

[0014] The touch component includes an annular seat fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bearing cylinder, and a plurality of support columns that are uniformly fixedly installed on the top of the annular seat and correspond one-to-one with the positions of the lifting drive component.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting drive assembly includes a power conversion cylinder and a protective cover fixedly installed at the bottom of the power conversion cylinder. An impeller is rotatably installed inside the power conversion cylinder via a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft rotatably passes through the power conversion cylinder and extends into the interior of the protective cover. A first propeller is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft and located inside the protective cover. A mounting base is fixedly installed on one side of the power conversion cylinder and located at the bottom of the suspension cylinder. A gas flow direction control assembly for controlling the airflow output direction is provided between the mounting base and the power conversion cylinder. A first magnet is fixedly installed at both the top and bottom of the mounting base.

[0016] Furthermore, the gas flow control component includes a connecting pipe fixedly installed on the opposite sidewalls of the power conversion cylinder and the mounting base. A housing is fixedly installed inside the connecting pipe, and the housing divides the connecting pipe into a first air passage and a second air passage. A partition is fixedly installed inside the housing, and the partition divides the internal space of the housing into an upper air chamber and a lower air chamber. A first exhaust hole and a second exhaust hole are respectively opened on both sides of the outer wall of the housing. The first exhaust hole is connected to the upper air chamber and the second air passage, and the second exhaust hole is connected to the lower air chamber and the first air passage. A vertical pipe is fixedly installed on the sidewall of the housing, and an upper through hole and a lower through hole connected to the upper air chamber and the lower air chamber are respectively opened on the upper and lower positions of the sidewall of the vertical pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, a first jet pipe and a second jet pipe are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting pipe to connect the power conversion cylinder and the first air passage and the second air passage. An air cylinder is also sealed and slidably installed inside the vertical pipe. The air cylinder is connected to the suspension cylinder through a pipe. An exhaust port is opened on the side wall of the air cylinder near the box. When the air cylinder moves down or up to the limit position, the exhaust port will connect with the upper through hole and the lower through hole respectively. An upper push rod and a lower push rod are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the connecting pipe respectively. An upper push rod and a second magnet are fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the upper push rod and the lower push rod. The upper push rod and the lower push rod slide through the mounting base and extend to the outside.

[0018] Furthermore, the aeration generating component includes a first support pipe and a second support pipe disposed on one side of the first support pipe. The first support pipe and the second support pipe are connected by a second air supply hose. A plurality of aeration head assemblies are uniformly fixedly disposed on the top of the first support pipe. Rotating blocks are fixedly disposed on the top and bottom of the outer wall of the first support pipe. Swing arms are fixedly disposed on both sides of the outer wall of the rotating blocks. Swing arm sleeves are fixedly disposed on the top and bottom of the second support pipe. The two rotating blocks are rotatably disposed in the swing arm sleeves at corresponding positions.

[0019] Furthermore, the aeration head assembly includes a second propeller rotatably mounted on the top of the aeration head body via a rotating shaft. Multiple scrapers are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The scrapers slide close to the outer wall of the aeration head body. A bubble-cutting chamber is opened inside the scraper, and a blade is fixedly mounted inside the bubble-cutting chamber.

[0020] This invention also discloses a combined wastewater treatment method with stratified aeration, for use in a combined wastewater treatment device with stratified aeration, the method comprising the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: The blower draws in air and introduces it into the first and second aeration units through pipes;

[0022] Step 2: The first aeration mechanism and the second aeration mechanism release air into the sewage in the aeration tank through multiple aeration generating components. While the aeration generating components release air into the sewage, the lifting mechanism uses the input air to propel itself to move upward or reciprocate upward within the bearing component.

[0023] Step 3: As multiple aeration generating components move upward or downward, the carrier cylinder component drives the aeration generating components to swing back and forth in the horizontal direction, releasing air over a larger range and agitating the wastewater.

[0024] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the combined wastewater treatment device and wastewater treatment method with layered aeration provided by the present invention have the following technical effects and advantages:

[0025] 1. By setting the first and second aeration mechanisms on opposite sides of the bottom of the aeration tank and utilizing a dynamic adjustment mechanism via a lifting system, differentiated oxygen supply is achieved for the bottom, middle, and top areas of the tank. This allows for oxygen delivery to different water layers at these levels, meeting the oxygen requirements of aerobic microorganisms at varying heights. This avoids the problems of oxygen excess at the top and oxygen deficiency at the bottom caused by traditional uniform aeration, achieving on-demand oxygen supply and improving wastewater treatment efficiency. Secondly, the lifting mechanism design allows the suspended cylinder to automatically suspend via air bladders. Combined with real-time position monitoring by distance sensors, the controller adjusts the air supply from the blower based on the distance gradient from the top of the tank. This ensures that the air supply automatically decreases when the lifting mechanism approaches the top and increases when it approaches the bottom, perfectly matching dissolved oxygen demand and reducing ineffective aeration energy consumption. This achieves the dual effect of providing sufficient oxygen at different water layers while saving energy. Furthermore, the lifting mechanism is pneumatically driven, eliminating the need for an additional motor and reducing equipment complexity and maintenance costs.

[0026] 2. During the lifting and lowering process, the aeration generating component drives the swing arm to swing back and forth through the arc-shaped protrusion of the swing drive component, which significantly increases the aeration area. The swing expands the coverage of the aeration head from a fixed point to a fan-shaped area, eliminating the dead corners of traditional aeration. Moreover, the stirring effect generated by the swing promotes full contact between sewage and activated sludge, shortening the treatment cycle.

[0027] 3. A second propeller is installed at the top of the aeration head body, which is driven to rotate by the impact of water flow. The scraper continuously cleans the surface, and the blades cut the air bubbles. This allows the scraper to remove sludge in real time, reducing maintenance frequency. Large air bubbles are cut into micron-sized air bubbles by the blades, which significantly increases the specific surface area and improves the oxygen transfer rate. Secondly, the lifting drive component determines the gas delivery direction of the exhaust port through the inertial collision of the upper and lower push rods. When the lifting mechanism rises to the limit position, it can automatically move down. The gas flow control component can switch the impeller rotation direction, so that the aeration unit is always in the circulation aeration treatment operation of different water layers. Moreover, the lifting and switching is fully automatic, the structure is simple, the equipment has a long service life, and even if the sewage concentration fluctuates, it can still maintain stable lifting and lowering by adjusting the air supply.

[0028] 4. By adopting the same structural design for the first and second aeration mechanisms and the detachable design of the load-bearing components, the number of aeration mechanisms can be increased or decreased according to the sewage treatment volume requirements. This allows for flexible adjustment of the number of aeration mechanisms based on the sewage treatment volume, greatly expanding the scope of application. Furthermore, the first and second aeration mechanisms can be quickly disassembled and replaced even if damaged, shortening downtime and significantly improving sewage treatment efficiency.

A plurality of aeration head components 263 are uniformly fixedly disposed on the top of the first support pipe 261. Rotating blocks 264 are fixedly disposed on the top and bottom of the outer wall of the first support pipe 261. Swing arms 265 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the outer wall of the rotating blocks 264. Swing arm sleeves 266 are fixedly disposed on the top and bottom of the second support pipe 262. The two rotating blocks 264 are rotatably disposed in the swing arm sleeves 266 at corresponding positions.

[0067] In this embodiment, the aeration head assembly 263 includes a second propeller 2632 rotatably mounted on top of the aeration head body 2631 via a rotating shaft. Multiple scrapers 2633 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. These scrapers 2633 slide close to the outer wall of the aeration head body 2631. Each scraper 2633 has a bubble-cutting chamber, and a blade 2634 is fixedly mounted inside the bubble-cutting chamber. The area at the top of the aeration head body 2631 opposite the bottom of the second propeller 2632 has no air holes.

[0068] The present invention also provides a combined wastewater treatment method with stratified aeration, for a combined wastewater treatment device with stratified aeration, the method comprising the following steps:

[0069] Step 1: First, the blower 4 draws in air and inputs it into the first aeration unit 2 and the second aeration unit 3 through the pipe;

[0070] Step 2: The first aeration mechanism 2 and the second aeration mechanism 3 release air into the sewage in the aeration tank 1 through multiple aeration generating components 26. While the aeration generating components 26 release air into the sewage, the lifting mechanism 25 uses the input air to propel itself to move upward or reciprocate upward within the bearing component.

[0071] Step 3: While multiple aeration generating components 26 move upward or downward, the carrier cylinder component drives the aeration generating components 26 to swing back and forth in the horizontal direction, releasing air over a larger range and stirring the sewage.

[0072] The specific process is as follows: the blower 4 supplies air to the first aeration mechanism 2 and the second aeration mechanism 3 through the controller. The air is input into the interior of the suspension cylinder 251 through the air supply pipe 23 and the third air supply hose 29. Some of the air is then transported to the second support pipe 262 at the corresponding position through multiple mounting holes 252. Then the air is transported to the first support pipe 261 through the second air supply hose 267 and released into the sewage through the air holes on the surface of multiple aeration head assembly 263.

[0073] Meanwhile, some of the air entering the suspension cylinder 251 enters the air cylinder a11 through a hose. Since the initial state of the air cylinder a11 is that the exhaust port a12 and the upper through hole a7 are opposite each other, and the second magnet a15 on the outer wall of the upper push rod a13 and the first magnet 2546 on the top of the mounting base 2545 are attracted to each other, and the bottom end of the lower push rod a14 abuts against the top of the support column 2552 in the opposite position, after the air enters the upper chamber through the exhaust port a12 and the upper through hole a7, the air then passes through the first exhaust port a4 and the second spray... The air pipe a10 sprays into the power conversion cylinder 2541. Since the second air pipe a10 is located at a certain angle between the air outlet of the power conversion cylinder 2541 and the impeller 2543, the blown air directly acts on the blades of the impeller 2543. The impeller 2543 is driven by the airflow and rotates. The power drives the first propeller 2544 to rotate through the shaft. Since the first propeller 2544 is completely submerged in sewage, the reaction force generated when the first propeller 2544 rotates pushes the lifting mechanism 25 to move upward as a whole.

[0074] As the aeration unit 26 moves upward, one of the swing arms 265 slides along the outer wall of a second arc-shaped protrusion 284 on the side wall of the second vertical plate 282. This swing arm 265 is pushed towards the first vertical plate 281 by the force of the second arc-shaped protrusion 284. At this time, the other swing arm 265 is positioned in the gap between two adjacent first arc-shaped protrusions 283. When the swing arm 265 slides off the outer wall of the second arc-shaped protrusion 284, the other swing arm 265 climbs upward along the bottom of one of the first arc-shaped protrusions 283. This swing arm 265 is then pushed towards the second vertical plate 281 by the first arc-shaped protrusion 283. The aeration head assembly 263 continuously releases air during the oscillating motion of the sliding mechanism in two directions. The distance sensor 257, which is waterproof, detects the distance to the cylinder cover 22 in real time and transmits this distance information to the controller. According to a preset program, as the distance sensor 257 moves closer to the cylinder cover 22, the controller controls the blower 4 to release and transport air in a gradually decreasing gradient. Conversely, as the distance sensor 257 moves away from the cylinder cover 22, the controller controls the blower 4 to release and transport air in a gradually increasing gradient, which corresponds to the gradual decrease in dissolved oxygen demand from the bottom to the top of the aeration tank 1.

[0075] At the same time, when the aeration generating component 26 moves up or down, the second propeller 2632 set on the surface of the aeration head body 2631 rotates due to the impact of sewage. The scraper 2633 scrapes the surface of the aeration head body 2631 when it rotates, and the blade 2634 cuts the bubbles released from the surface of the aeration head body 2631, so that the larger bubbles are divided into multiple smaller bubbles, making the bubbles more dense.

[0076] When the upper push rod a13 moves to its limit position, that is, when the top of the upper push rod a13 abuts against the bottom of the cylinder cover 22, the second magnet a15 on the lower push rod a14 and the first magnet 2546 located at the bottom of the mounting base 2545 attract each other. Due to the inertia of the lifting mechanism 25 moving upward as a whole, at the instant the upper push rod a13 abuts against the cylinder cover 22, the air cylinder a11 is pushed downward by the upper push rod a13. When the air cylinder a11 moves downward to its limit position, the exhaust port a12 and the lower through hole a8 are opposite each other, and the external input... Air enters the lower chamber through the air cylinder a11 and the lower through hole a8. The air then acts on the impeller 2543 through the first jet pipe a9, causing the impeller 2543 to rotate in the opposite direction. After the first propeller 2544 rotates in the opposite direction, it generates downward force. The lifting mechanism 25 moves downward under the combined action of multiple lifting drive components 254 until the bottom end of the lower push rod a14 collides with the support column 2552 at the corresponding position. Then the lifting mechanism 25 moves upward again, and so on.
