[0038] This solution organically combines denitrification and filtration. Denitrification requires no carbon source, has low backwashing intensity, and high filtration accuracy. It is suitable for various site conditions, from large-scale wastewater treatment plants to small community wastewater treatment facilities, and can be easily installed and used. Its operation is simple, highly automated, and reduces the complexity and workload of manual operation, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of wastewater treatment.

[0039] Inside the denitrification filter tank 4, near the top, a guide plate 12 is provided. A guide pipe 11 is fixedly provided on the top surface of the guide plate 12. The guide pipe 11 is connected to the guide plate 12 and passes upward through the denitrification filter tank 4 and is rotatably engaged with it through a sealed bearing. The end of the return pipe 2 near the denitrification filter tank 4 is rotatably engaged with the guide pipe 11 through a sealed bearing, and the return pipe 2 is connected to the guide pipe 11. In order to drive the guide pipe 11 to rotate, a motor is installed at the top of the denitrification filter tank 4. The output shaft of the motor is driven by the guide pipe 11 through a belt 10, thereby driving the guide plate 12 to rotate.

[0040] The bottom end of the guide pipe 11 is provided with multiple nozzles 13. The nozzles 13 are connected to the guide plate 12 through a flexible hose 23.

[0041] An L-shaped support rod 22 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the nozzle 13. The top of the support rod 22 passes through the guide plate 12 and forms a ball joint structure with the guide plate 12, so that the support rod 22 can drive the nozzle 13 to adjust the angle. Of course, this solution has a U-shaped limiting plate 18 on the top of the guide plate 12, and a sliding plate 19 is provided between the limiting plate 18 and the guide plate 12.

The long rod 21, the short rod 20, and the pressure block 17 are in the same horizontal plane. During the rotation of the guide plate 12 driven by the motor, the nozzle 13 can be rotated through the guide plate 12, thereby cleaning the filter screen 14 and the inner wall of the denitrification filter tank 4. When the short rod 20 passes the pressure block 17, the extrusion surface 1701 can squeeze the short rod 20, thereby promoting... The slide plate 19 moves along the length of the guide plate 12. The pressure of the support rod 22 on the inner wall of the clearance groove 1901 can drive the nozzle 13 to deflect in the left and right directions. When the long rod 21 passes the pressure block 17, the cooperation between the pressure block 17 and the long rod 21 can drive the slide plate 19 to move along the width of the guide plate 12. The pressure of the support rod 22 on the inner wall of the clearance groove 1901 can drive the nozzle 13 to deflect in the front and back directions. In summary, this structure can adjust the angle of the nozzle 13 in all directions, thereby better cleaning the filter screen 14 and the inner wall of the denitrification filter tank 4.
