[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] See Figures 1 to 3 , a flotation defoaming pump pool, including a pool body 1. The flotation defoaming pump pool further includes:

[0031] A defoaming cylinder 6 arranged in the pool body 1. The defoaming cylinder 6 includes a frustum section and a cylindrical section that are interconnected. One end of the frustum section away from the cylindrical section is connected to an air pump 3, and a number of inclined holes 7 are evenly distributed on the surface of the cylindrical section;

[0032] Among them, the compressed gas generated by the air pump 3 is discharged into the liquid inside the pool body 1 through the inclined holes 7, thereby applying an impact force to the bubbles to cause the foam to break.

[0033] Specifically, the pool body 1 is a cuboid structure with an open upper end. The defoaming cylinder 6 is located inside the pool body 1 and close to the back inner wall of the pool body 1. The defoaming cylinder 6 includes a frustum section and a cylindrical section that are interconnected. The bottom of the cylindrical section does not touch the bottom of the pool body 1. One end of the cylindrical section away from the bottom of the pool body 1 is connected to one end of the frustum section close to the bottom of the pool body 1, and one end of the frustum section away from the cylindrical section is connected to the air outlet end of the air pump 3, so that the air pump 3 is connected to the defoaming cylinder 6;

[0034] When the liquid level in the pool body 1 reaches the corresponding height, the air pump 3 starts to work. The air suction end of the air pump 3 extracts external gas, compresses the gas and discharges it into the defoaming cylinder 6 through the air outlet end. The compressed gas is discharged into the liquid through a number of inclined holes 7, applying an impact force to the bubbles, and using the impact effect to cause the foam to break, thereby achieving the purpose of defoaming;

[0035] In this embodiment, by setting the air pump 3 to generate compressed gas, and by setting the defoaming cylinder 6 to make the compressed gas discharged into the liquid inside the pool body 1 through the inclined holes 7 on the defoaming cylinder 6, so as to apply an impact force to the bubbles and use the impact effect to cause the foam to break, thereby achieving the purpose of defoaming, and further preventing the foam from overflowing the pump pool and causing the grade of the pulp to decrease.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] See Figures 1 to 3 , based on the above embodiment, further and optionally, the air pump 3 is installed on one side outer wall of the pool body 1, and the air outlet end of the air pump 3 is connected to a gas guide pipe 5 through a connecting pipe 4;

[0038] Wherein, a tapered hole 10 is provided at one end of the frustum section away from the cylindrical section, and one end of the air duct 5 away from the connecting pipe 4 extends into the inside of the pool body 1 and is connected to the tapered hole 10, so that the air duct 5 is communicated with the defoaming cylinder 6.

[0039] Specifically, the air pump 3 is detachably installed on the outer wall of one side of the pool body 1 through bolts. The air outlet end of the air pump 3 faces the top of the pool body 1. The lower end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the air outlet end of the air pump 3, and the upper end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the lower end of the air duct 5. One end of the air duct 5 away from the connecting pipe 4 extends upward. After extending to the top edge of the pool body 1, it is bent at 90°, and then horizontally extends in the direction of the defoaming cylinder 6. When it reaches above the defoaming cylinder 6, it is bent downward at 90° and then extends vertically until it extends into the inside of the pool body 1 and is connected to the tapered hole 10. With such a setting, the air duct 5 is communicated with the defoaming cylinder 6, so that the air pump 3 is communicated with the defoaming cylinder 6. At the same time, the air duct 5 also provides support for the defoaming cylinder 6 to fix it inside the pool body 1.

[0040] Further and optionally, a liquid level gauge 2 is fixed on the inner side wall of the pool body 1, and the liquid level gauge 2 is located on one side of the defoaming cylinder 6.

[0041] Specifically, the end face of the liquid level gauge 2 away from the defoaming cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the pool body 1. By setting the liquid level gauge 2 to measure the liquid height in the pool body 1, it provides a reference for the start of the air pump 3.

[0042] Further and optionally, a discharge pipe 8 is provided at the bottom of the opposite side of the pool body 1 away from the air pump 3.

[0043] Specifically, the liquid or other substances in the pool body 1 are discharged through the discharge pipe 8. A valve is installed on the discharge pipe 8. The valve is an electromagnetic valve. The opening and closing of the valve are controlled to discharge the material, and the opening degree of the valve is controlled to control the discharge speed.

[0044] Further and optionally, a liquid level controller 9 is provided on the outer side of the opposite side of the pool body 1 away from the liquid level gauge 2. The liquid level gauge 2 is electrically connected to the liquid level controller 9, and the air pump 3 is electrically connected to the power supply through the liquid level controller 9.

[0045] Specifically, the liquid level controller 9 can receive the detection signal of the liquid level gauge 2. A liquid level standard parameter value is preset in the liquid level controller 9. By comparing the detection signal with the liquid level standard parameter value, the action of the air pump 3 is controlled;

[0046] More specifically, when the detection signal value is greater than the liquid level standard parameter value, the liquid level controller 9 sends an operation instruction to the air pump 3 to control the start and operation of the air pump 3. When the detection signal value is not greater than the liquid level standard parameter value, the air pump 3 does not perform any action.

[0047] Further and optionally, the defoaming cylinder 6 is made of corrosion-resistant material.

[0048] Specifically, the defoaming cylinder 6 is made of corrosion-resistant material. At the same time, compressed gas is used to replace the traditional mechanical defoaming, and it is no longer affected by the corrosion of the pulp in the pump sump, so that while reducing energy consumption, the service life of the defoaming cylinder 6 is effectively extended.

[0049] The working process of this embodiment: When in use, first set the liquid level standard parameter value of the liquid level controller 9. The liquid level gauge 2 transmits the detection signal to the liquid level controller 9. When the detection signal value of the detector 2 is greater than the liquid level standard parameter value, the liquid level controller 9 sends an operation instruction to the air pump 3 to control the start and operation of the air pump 3. The air suction end of the air pump 3 extracts the external gas, and then injects the compressed gas into the interior of the defoaming cylinder 6 through its air outlet end via the connecting pipe 4 and the air guide pipe 5, and finally discharges it into the liquid through a number of inclined holes 7 for defoaming operation, thereby effectively eliminating the bubbles on the liquid level surface in the pump sump and preventing the liquid from overflowing the pump sump.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not restrictive. Although the present application has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present application; the dimensions of the drawings have nothing to do with the specific physical objects, and the physical dimensions can be arbitrarily changed.
