However, in the long-term operation of sewage treatment, whether it is an ordinary filter or a sedimentation tank, these fillers are prone to blockage and mud accumulation. It is usually necessary to set up a backwashing device to backwash the fillers regularly to ensure that the fillers can effectively play their role. In order to prevent the effluent water quality from being affected during the backwashing process, it is necessary to control the start and stop of the backwashing pipeline and the inlet and outlet water pipelines. The existing backwashing system usually adopts the automatic opening and closing control of the valve by directly installing electric valves or solenoid valves on the backwashing pipeline and the inlet and outlet water pipelines.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This embodiment provides a water outlet system for a circulating bioreactor, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , comprising a first overflow weir 2 disposed inside the circulating bioreactor 1 and an outlet pipe connected to the first overflow weir 2 ( Figure 1 A backwash pipe 5 is also provided in the circulating bioreactor 1, and the effluent system further comprises:

[0038] A first gate plate 3 is arranged between the first overflow weir 2 and the outlet pipe; when the first gate plate 3 is closed, the first overflow weir 2 and the outlet pipe are disconnected; when the first gate plate 3 is opened, the first overflow weir 2 and the outlet pipe are connected;

[0039] The driving device 4 has an output end connected to the first gate plate 3 and is used to drive the first gate plate 3 to close or open.

[0040] Through the above technical solution, the connection between the first overflow weir 2 and the outlet pipe can be disconnected before backwashing, so as to avoid affecting the quality of the outlet water during the backwashing process. Compared with the prior art of installing solenoid valves or electric valves on the outlet pipes one by one, the technical solution of this embodiment can save huge economic costs when applied on a large scale, and the structure of the first gate plate 3 and the driving device 4 and the connection structure between the two and the circulating bioreactor 1 are easy to repair and replace.

[0041] In this embodiment, the driving device 4 is installed above the first overflow weir 2 and does not need to be immersed in water, so the waterproof performance requirements of the driving device 4 are low.

[0042] In this embodiment, the output of the driving device 4 is a linear displacement, and the driving device 4 may be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first overflow weir 2 is trough-shaped, and one end of the first overflow weir 2 connected to the inner wall of the circulating bioreactor is communicated with the outlet pipe. The outlet system further includes:

The first end of the connecting frame 7 is hinged to the output end of the driving device 4, and the second end of the connecting frame 7 fixes the first gate plate 3.

[0046] When the cylinder rod of the driving device 4 is extended, the first gate plate 3 moves downward toward the inner wall of the circulating bioreactor until it fits in with it, thereby disconnecting the first overflow weir 2 from the outlet pipe; when the cylinder rod of the driving device 4 is retracted into the cylinder body, the first gate plate 3 moves upward away from the inner wall of the circulating bioreactor 1, thereby connecting the first overflow weir 2 to the outlet pipe.

[0047] In one embodiment, the mounting frame 6 is mounted on the inner wall of the circulating bioreactor 1; the first gate plate 3 is located on one side of the first overflow weir 2, which is convenient for installation and maintenance.

[0054] The mounting frame 6 is mounted on the inner wall of the circulating bioreactor 1; the second gate plate 9 is located on one side of the second overflow weir 10, which is convenient for installation and maintenance.

[0055] When the cylinder rod of the driving device 4 is extended, the second gate plate 9 moves downward toward the bottom of the groove of the second overflow weir 10 until it fits therewith, thereby disconnecting the second overflow weir 10 from the water outlet pipe 11; when the cylinder rod of the driving device 4 is retracted into the cylinder body, the second gate plate 9 moves upward away from the bottom of the groove of the second overflow weir 10, thereby connecting the first overflow weir 2 with the water outlet pipe 11.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 Compared with Example 1, in the effluent system of the circulating bioreactor provided in this embodiment, the third overflow weir 17 is tubular, and the effluent system further comprises:

[0058] A first connecting rod 12, connecting the third gate plate 14 and the output end of the driving device 4;

[0059] The transition chamber 13 is provided with a through hole 16 penetrating the transition chamber, and the third overflow weir 17 is butted with the outlet pipe in the through hole 16.

[0061] In this embodiment, the output of the driving device 4 is a linear displacement, and the driving device 4 can be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. When the cylinder rod of the driving device 4 is extended, the third gate plate 14 is inserted downward between the third overflow weir 17 and the outlet pipe to disconnect the third overflow weir 17 from the outlet pipe; when the cylinder rod of the driving device 4 is retracted into the cylinder body, the third gate plate 14 moves upward out of the through hole 16 to connect the third overflow weir 17 with the outlet pipe.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 12 is hinged to the cylinder rod of the driving device 4 to prevent the third gate plate 14 from getting stuck during the up and down movement and being unable to only close or open the connection between the third overflow weir 17 and the water outlet pipe.

[0063] In this embodiment, the transition chamber 13 and the driving device 4 can be installed on the inner wall of the circulating bioreactor 1 by fasteners such as screws. Compared with being installed on the outside of the circulating bioreactor 1, this embodiment can reduce the amount of mixture overflowing into the third overflow weir 17 during backwashing and entering the outlet pipe. By installing on the inner wall of the circulating bioreactor by fasteners such as screws, if a fault occurs, they can be quickly disassembled and repaired without delaying the sewage treatment work.
