Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0019] The utility model discloses a columnar ceramic membrane air-water washing system, as Figure 1 shown, which includes a system bracket 1. The upper end of the system bracket 1 is fixedly provided with a screw air compressor 2, an air storage tank, a buffer tank 4, a columnar ceramic membrane 16, a multistage centrifugal pump 6 and a PLC controller 3. The air supply end of the screw air compressor 2 is communicated with the air inlet end of the air storage tank through an air supply pipeline. The air supply pressure of the screw air compressor 2 is 0.8 MPa. The air outlet end of the air storage tank is communicated with the air inlet end of the upper part of the buffer tank 4 through an air inlet pipeline 8, and the air inlet pipeline 8 is provided with an air inlet valve 13.

[0020] As Figure 3As shown, the multistage centrifugal pump 6 is connected to the water inlet end at the lower part of the buffer tank 4 through the water inlet pipeline 7. The water inlet pipeline 7 is provided with a water inlet valve 12. The buffer tank 4 is connected to the upper part of the columnar ceramic membrane 16 through the backwashing pipeline 9. The backwashing pipeline 9 is provided with a backwashing pneumatic valve 14. The exhaust end at the upper part of the buffer tank 4 is connected to the water inlet at the lower end of the columnar ceramic membrane 16 through the exhaust pipeline 10. The exhaust pipeline 10 is provided with an exhaust valve 15. The intake valve 13, the water inlet valve 12, the backwashing pneumatic valve 14 and the exhaust valve 15 are driven by the PLC controller 3.

[0021] Among them, as Figure 2 shown, the water inlet pipeline 7 and the backwashing pipeline 9 share a section of pipeline at the lower end of the buffer tank 4. The functions of the pipeline are controlled by driving the water inlet valve 12 and the backwashing pneumatic valve 14 by the PLC controller 3.

[0022] The buffer tank 4 is provided with a liquid level gauge and a pressure gauge. The liquid level gauge and the pressure gauge are communicatively connected to the PLC controller 3. Through the signals collected by the process liquid level gauge and the pressure gauge, the air pressure and the height of the liquid level gauge are obtained by the feedback of the PLC controller 3 program. Through the coordinated control of the PLC controller 3, the functions of timed backwashing, constant-pressure differential backwashing and constant-flow backwashing are completed.

[0023] The side wall of the buffer tank 4 is provided with an air vent hole. The air vent hole is provided with a vent valve. The vent valve is driven by the PLC controller 3. The air vent hole is used for exhausting air after a single working process of the buffer tank 4 is completed.

[0025] The air-water washing method using the air-water washing system of a columnar ceramic membrane of the present utility model includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S1: The vent valve is closed, the water inlet valve 12 is opened, the multistage centrifugal pump 6 sends water into the buffer tank 4. When the liquid level of the buffer tank 4 reaches a height of one meter, the water inlet valve 12 is closed, and the bypass valve 18 of the pipeline system 17 is opened, and the system produces water normally;

[0027] Step S2: The backwashing pneumatic valve 14 is opened, the internal air pressure of the buffer tank 4 is 0.5 MPa, forming a large pressure difference with the outside. The buffer tank 4 releases gas to push water into the columnar ceramic membrane 16 for water backwashing, and the backwashing lasts for ten seconds;

[0028] Step S3: After the buffer tank 4 releases a certain amount of gas, the internal air pressure of the buffer tank 4 drops to 0.3 MPa. The remaining gas leads from the exhaust pipeline 10 at the upper end of the buffer tank 4 to the water inlet at the lower end of the columnar ceramic membrane 16 for aeration air washing to push out and drain the dirt in the columnar ceramic membrane 16;

[0029] Step S4: After the residual gas washing is completed, the air release valve is opened, and it returns to Step S1, repeating the above operations.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limiting them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
