However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Equivalent transformations or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components. They can be direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the terms according to the specific circumstances.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the medical laboratory wastewater treatment device of the present invention comprises, in sequence, a collection tank 1, an equalization tank 2, an acid-base neutralization tank 3, a disinfection tank 4, and a supporting device room 5; water flow channels are sequentially arranged between the collection tank 1, the equalization tank 2, the acid-base neutralization tank 3, and the disinfection tank 4; an inlet pipe 6 is provided on the collection tank 1, and a drain pipe 7 is provided on the disinfection tank 4; a wastewater treatment device is installed in the supporting device room 5, and the wastewater treatment device is signal-connected to a PLC control system, which is used to control the operation of the wastewater treatment device. In this embodiment, the PLC control system is installed in the supporting device room 5 in the form of a PLC control cabinet 8.
[0022] In use, wastewater from the medical laboratory enters the collection tank through the inlet pipe. The PLC control system controls the wastewater treatment device to purify the wastewater. After treatment, the water that meets the discharge standards is discharged through the drain pipe. The entire equipment is automatically controlled by the PLC control system, featuring high integration, small footprint, simpler, smarter, and more efficient processes, and low maintenance difficulty and cost.
[0023] The water flow channel between the collection tank 1 and the regulating tank 2 is controlled by a lifting weir plate 11 located at the bottom of the collection tank 1. The operating mechanism of the lifting weir plate 11 is connected to the PLC control system. A level gauge 12 is also installed in the collection tank 1, and the level gauge 12 is also connected to the PLC control system. The level gauge 12 can detect the water level in the collection tank 1 in real time and feed it back to the PLC control system, which then controls the opening and closing of the lifting weir plate 11, thereby achieving the regulation and control of the water volume processed in subsequent processes.
[0024] As an optional implementation scenario, in this implementation scenario, a maintenance well 13 is also provided above the water collection tank 1, and the operating mechanism of the lifting weir plate 11 is located in the maintenance well 13; this structural design can facilitate the maintenance of the lifting weir plate 11, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty and maintenance cost of the equipment.
[0025] As an optional implementation scenario, in this implementation scenario, a pull-up filter device 14 is provided at the inlet of the water collection tank 1. The pull-up filter device 14 includes a frame 141, a pull-up bracket 142, and a sliding assembly 143. Specifically, the frame 141 is composed of filter screen plates, and its top front and rear ends are provided with hanging ears. The hanging ears are mounted on the front and rear walls of the water collection tank 1, thereby realizing the movable fixation of the frame 141 on the water collection tank 1. The pull-up bracket 142 is set inside the frame 141, and it includes a base plate, a vertical rod connected to the middle of the top surface of the base plate, and a horizontal rod connected to the top of the vertical rod. The base plate is a filter screen plate adapted to the size of the bottom of the frame 141, and the top of the horizontal rod is provided with a pull-up ring. The sliding assembly 143 includes a sliding groove set on the front and rear walls inside the frame 141, and a slider set at both ends of the horizontal rod. The sliders at both ends of the horizontal rod are slidably embedded in the sliding groove. When wastewater first enters the collection tank 1, it first flows into the lifting filter device 14 for preliminary filtration. When there is a lot of debris on the filter screen, the lifting frame can be lifted out at any time through the lifting ring to clean the debris on the bottom plate and the inner wall of the frame 141. This is very convenient and not only improves the preliminary filtration effect of wastewater treatment, but also reduces the difficulty and maintenance cost of cleaning and maintaining the filter device.
[0026] As an optional implementation scenario, in this scenario, a first lift pump 21 is installed at the bottom of the equalization tank 2, and the outlet of the first lift pump 21 is connected to the acid-base neutralization tank 3 to lift the water flow in the equalization tank 2 and send it into the acid-base neutralization tank 3. A second lift pump 31 is installed at the bottom of the acid-base neutralization tank 3, and a water distributor 41 is installed at the bottom of the disinfection tank 4. The outlet of the second lift pump 31 is connected to the inlet of the water distributor 41 to send the water flow in the acid-base neutralization tank 3 into the disinfection tank 4, thereby completing water distribution. In this embodiment, the water distributor 41 is a perforated top water distribution pipe. Through this structural design, not only can the processing water volume of each process be controlled, but the design of the second lift pump 31 + water distributor 41, while completing water flow transportation, also forms a jet-like water distribution in the disinfection tank 4, which is conducive to the full mixing of the water flow and disinfectant in the disinfection tank.
[0027] As an optional implementation scenario, in this scenario, the wastewater treatment device includes an automatic dosing system 51 and an aeration system 52. The automatic dosing system 51 is located in the supporting device chamber 5 and includes at least two outlets. The two outlets are respectively located in the acid-base neutralization tank 3 and the disinfection tank 4. The outlet in the acid-base neutralization tank 3 is used to add pH adjuster, and the outlet in the disinfection tank 4 is used to add sodium hypochlorite disinfectant. The dosage and timing of the pH adjuster and sodium hypochlorite are set according to the specific water quality conditions, and are all controlled by the PLC control system to achieve automatic dosing. The aeration system 52 includes an outlet located in the supporting device chamber 5. The aeration pump 521 in the supporting equipment room 5 and the aerator 522 installed in the acid-base neutralization tank 3 are connected by a pipeline. Ventilation holes are provided on the side wall where the aeration pump 521 is installed in the supporting equipment room 5. The aerator 522 includes an aeration pipe, which is set at the bottom of the acid-base neutralization tank 3. When in use, the aeration pump 521 delivers air to the aeration pipe and blows air into the acid-base neutralization tank 3, so that the reaction in the tank is more complete, the reagent and wastewater are mixed more evenly, and the reaction is more effective. The operating time and power of the aeration pump 12 are controlled by the PLC control system, which is safer and more accurate.
[0028] As an optional implementation scenario, the wastewater treatment device also includes a pH probe, which is installed inside the acid-base neutralization tank 3 and near the inlet of the second booster pump 31. The pH probe can detect the pH value in the acid-base neutralization tank 3 in real time and feed it back to the PLC control system, thereby calculating the dosage and timing of pH adjuster dosing, further improving the treatment efficiency of the equipment.
[0029] As an optional implementation scenario, in this scenario, a filter plate 42 is installed near the top inside the disinfection tank 4. The outer periphery of the filter plate 42 is press-fitted with the inner wall of the disinfection tank 4 to improve installation stability; the drain pipe 7 is installed on the disinfection tank wall above the filter plate 42. With this structural design, when the disinfection tank 4 is full of water, it overflows from above the filter plate 42. During this process, the filter plate 42 can perform final filtration on the water to be discharged, so that the water overflowing above the filter plate 42 meets the discharge standards.
[0030] As an optional implementation scenario, in this implementation scenario, a fixing frame 43 is also provided on the inner wall of the disinfection pool above the filter plate 42. The fixing frame 43 includes four support columns 431 installed on the inner wall of the disinfection pool, and a roller 432 fixedly connected to the end of the support column 431 away from the inner wall of the disinfection pool. A stirring rod 44 is vertically inserted into the roller 432, and the stirring rod 44 is interference-fitted with the inner ring of the roller 432. The bottom of the stirring rod 44 extends through the filter plate into the disinfection pool 4, and a stirring bar 441 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the stirring rod 44. The top of the stirring rod 44 extends through the top plate of the disinfection pool 4 into the natural space, and a fan plate 442 is provided on the outer wall of the top of the stirring rod 44. The fan plate 442 is located in the natural space. It can use wind energy to drive the stirring rod 44 and stirring bar 441 to rotate, thereby achieving the mixing and stirring of wastewater and disinfectant in the disinfection tank 4. This not only improves the effect of wastewater and disinfectant, but also eliminates the need to consume paid energy, making it energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and reducing wastewater treatment costs.
[0031] It should be noted that the booster pump, PLC controller, automatic dosing device and other electrical equipment are all supplied with power by corresponding power sources, which should be common knowledge to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail in this invention; the specific models of each electrical device can be selected according to the specific situation, as long as the corresponding functions can be achieved, and this invention does not impose specific limitations.
[0032] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of the present invention.
