[0063] The two opening and closing plates 16 are fixedly installed on one side of the reaction vessel 1 by means of a rotating frame, and the two opening and closing plates 16 are respectively adapted to the two material receiving troughs 15.
[0064] The alkali supply mechanism 5 is connected to the outer wall of the reaction tank 1. The alkali supply mechanism 5 includes an alkali supply pipe 501, which is connected to the outer wall of the reaction tank 1. One end of the alkali supply pipe 501 is connected to an alkali supply pump 502, and the input end of the alkali supply pump 502 is connected to an alkali supply tank 503 through a connecting pipe.
[0065] In practical use, the aforementioned water pollution treatment equipment can also be used in other related washing wastewater application fields; the alkaline solution inside the alkali supply tank 503 is a sodium hydroxide alkaline solution.
[0066] The working principle of the water pollution treatment equipment provided by this invention is as follows:
[0067] First, the washing wastewater is manually discharged into the water distributor 402 through the funnel 401. The washing wastewater is then distributed through the water distributor 402 and the water distribution pipe 403. After passing through the filter screen 12, the washing wastewater falls into the bottom of the inner wall of the reaction tank 1.
[0068] Then, the washing wastewater after preliminary filtration of impurities falls to the bottom of the inner wall of the reaction tank 1. The alkali supply pump 502 is started to extract the alkali solution inside the alkali supply tank 503 and discharge it into the interior of the reaction tank 1 through the alkali supply pipe 501.

[0070] Compared with related technologies, the water pollution treatment equipment provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0071] By setting up a water distributor 402 and a water distribution pipe 403, the initial filtration of washing wastewater is more evenly distributed. By setting up filter screen 12 and filter screen 2 13 to form a two-stage filtration, larger solid impurities are initially intercepted, and heavy metal precipitates are retained after secondary sedimentation, resulting in purer mixed salt wastewater. This reduces the consumption of alkaline solution and the generation of sludge, avoiding scaling and pipe blockage. By setting up an alkaline supply pump 502 to draw alkaline solution into the interior of the reaction tank 1, the pH is adjusted to promote the precipitation of heavy metal ions, effectively reducing the concentration of heavy metals in the wastewater. By setting up two opening and closing plates 16, filter screen 12 and filter screen 2 13 can be cleaned separately.
[0072] Second Embodiment
[0073] Please refer to the following: Figures 5-12 Based on the water pollution treatment device provided in the first embodiment of this application, the second embodiment of this application proposes another water pollution treatment device. The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.

A connecting shaft 804 is fixedly installed inside each of the two active turntables 803. One end of each of the two connecting shafts 804 passes through one side of the fixed plate 801, the inner wall of the evaporator 18, and the inner wall of the evaporator 17 and extends to the outside. The two rotary motors 802 are mounted on the ground by brackets. The output shafts of the two rotary motors 802 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two connecting shafts 804 located outside the evaporator 17. Two sets of heating tubes 806 are fixedly installed between the two active turntables 803 and the two driven turntables 805.
[0078] Scraping mechanisms 9 are slidably mounted on the surfaces of the two sets of heating tubes 806. The scraping mechanism 9 includes a first scraper 903, a second scraper 906, and a cylinder 901. The first scraper 903 and the second scraper 906 are slidably mounted on the surfaces of the two sets of heating tubes 806, respectively. The cylinder 901 is mounted on the ground by a bracket. One end of the cylinder 901 passes through the outer wall of the evaporator 17, the outer wall of the evaporator 18, and one side of the fixing plate 801 through the outer shell and extends into the interior of the evaporator 18. The output end of the cylinder 901 is fixedly mounted to the interior of the first scraper 903 by a bearing 902. The peripheral surfaces of the first scraper 903 and the second scraper 906 are provided with annular grooves 904. The first scraper 903 and the second scraper 906 are connected to a scraper 905 through the annular grooves 904. The scraper 905 is adapted to be installed in the evaporator 18.
[0079] One side of the evaporator 18 is connected to a discharge mechanism 11. The discharge mechanism 11 includes a discharge box 1101 and a second opening and closing plate 1102. The discharge box 1101 is connected to one side of the evaporator 18. One end of the discharge box 1101 penetrates the inner wall of the evaporator 17 and extends to the outside. The second opening and closing plate 1102 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the evaporator 18 by a rotating bracket. The second opening and closing plate 1102 is adapted to the discharge box 1101.
[0080] The inner wall of the evaporator 18 is connected to two one-way pipes 10, and the top of the evaporator 17 is connected to a steam pipe 19.
[0081] In actual use, each group of heating tubes 806 consists of six tubes.
[0082] The working principle of the water pollution treatment equipment provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0083] First, after the initial treatment is completed, the transfer pump 601 is started to extract the pre-treated washing wastewater through the drain pipe 14 and transfer it to the inside of the evaporator 17 through the transfer pipe 602. After the water level gradually rises, when it reaches the height of the one-way pipe 10, the washing wastewater is discharged into the inside of the evaporator 18 through the one-way pipe 10.
[0084] Then, the stirring motor 701 is started, which drives the stirring blades 703 to stir the washing wastewater through the stirring shaft 702. The two rotary motors 802 are started, which drive the two active turntables 803 to rotate through the two connecting shafts 804. As a result, the two sets of heating tubes 806 and the two driven turntables 805 also rotate. The two sets of heating tubes 806 are started to heat and evaporate the washing wastewater. At this time, the heated washing wastewater can also preheat the washing wastewater between the evaporation tank 18 and the evaporation tank 17 that has not yet evaporated, saving energy. The evaporated gas is discharged through the steam pipe 19 and condensed and recovered.
[0085] Then, after evaporation, the remaining solid sediment at the bottom of the inner wall of the evaporation tank 18 is mixed with high-concentration wastewater. The cylinder 901 is started, which drives the scraper 1 903 to move through the bearing 902. The scraper 1 903 drives the scraper 2 906 to move through the scraper 905. This allows the scraper 1 903 and the scraper 2 906 to simultaneously descale the surfaces of the two sets of heating tubes 806, preventing impurities from adhering to the surface after long-term use. At the same time, during the process of the cylinder 901 driving the scraper 1 903 and the scraper 2 906 to clean the two sets of heating tubes 806, the scraper 905 also cleans the remaining solid sediment at the bottom and the high-concentration wastewater. The scraper 905 also cleans the scale on the inner wall of the evaporation tank 18 to improve the heat transfer efficiency to the outside. When the scraper 905 is pushed to the position of the discharge box 1101, the opening and closing plate 2 1102 is opened manually from the outside of the equipment to collect hazardous waste and transfer it for treatment.
[0086] Finally, the above-mentioned scale removal process can also be started during the rotation of the heating tube 806 to complete the forced mixing of the high-concentration solution at the bottom and the low-concentration solution in the middle and upper layers.
[0087] Compared with related technologies, the water pollution treatment equipment provided in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0088] By setting the heating tube 806 to rotate with the active turntable 803, heat transfer uniformity is enhanced while the rotation promotes wastewater flow. Combined with the stirring blades 703, dynamic heating and mixing are achieved, shortening evaporation time and improving treatment efficiency. This integrates rotary heating and stirring. The heating tube 806 heats the washing wastewater inside the evaporation tank 18 while preheating the unevaporated wastewater located between the evaporation tank 18 and the evaporation vessel 17, achieving internal heat recycling and significantly reducing energy consumption. The cylinder 901 drives the scraper disc 903, scraper disc 906, and scraper 905 synchronously. The system completes multiple cleaning processes, including descaling the surface of heating tube 806, cleaning scale buildup on the inner wall of evaporator 18, and scraping away sediment at the bottom. During evaporation, the scraper 905 reciprocates, cleaning while simultaneously forcibly mixing high and low concentration solutions to prevent localized excessive concentrations. Impurities scraped by the scraper 905 can be removed by opening the external hinge plate 1102, eliminating the need for manual entry into the equipment and improving operational safety and convenience. Solid sediments and high-concentration wastewater are scraped into discharge box 1101 for centralized collection and professional treatment, reducing the risk of secondary pollution.
