Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of water accumulation treatment devices, and particularly to a buried self-cleaning water tank. Background Art
[0002] During the process of open-pit mining, as the mining depth increases, it is necessary to lower the groundwater level of the surrounding environment by certain means. Otherwise, groundwater is likely to flow into the stope and gather in areas with lower terrain, affecting the mining operation.
[0003] The traditional method is to draw out groundwater through wells and then pump the groundwater to other areas through equipment such as water pumps, thereby lowering the groundwater level near the mine and ensuring the normal operation of the stope. Building a large number of pumping wells not only has high construction and maintenance costs, but also easily affects the surface environment. Moreover, when it is necessary to demolish and restore the ecology later, the engineering volume is huge. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve or partially solve the problems existing in the related technologies, this application provides a buried self-cleaning water tank. This device can be buried underground, reducing the impact on the surface environment, being convenient for installation and disassembly with relatively small engineering volume, and can also perform self-cleaning, facilitating maintenance.

One end of the intake main pipe is connected to the air compressor, and the other end extends into the box body and is connected to the intake branch pipes;
[0009] A pumping mechanism, which is installed inside the box body, and through which the accumulated water in the box body can be pumped out.
[0010] Optionally, in some embodiments, the pumping mechanism includes a bracket, a water pump, and a drain pipe. The bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body, and the water pump is installed on the bracket. The drainage end of the water pump is connected to the drain pipe.
[0011] Optionally, in some embodiments, a filter cover is installed at the water inlet end of the water pump.
[0012] Optionally, in some embodiments, a handle is provided on the cover plate.

[0026] See Figure 1-2 , a buried self-cleaning water tank, comprising:
[0027] A box body 1, which is welded by six steel plates to form a cuboid structure. A number of filter holes 11 are opened on the side wall of the box body 1. The filter holes 11 are slender and are used to filter hard impurities such as gravel to avoid damage to the pumping mechanism 5 caused by hard impurities; An inspection opening 13 is opened on the top cover 12 of the box body 1 to facilitate workers to enter the box body 1 for inspection and maintenance.
[0028] A cover plate 2, which is movably installed at the inspection opening 13, and the inspection opening 13 can be opened or closed through the cover plate 2. Specifically, a hinge support 14 is arranged on one side of the inspection opening 13, and one end of the cover plate 2 is hinged at the hinge support 14, and the size of the cover plate 2 is larger than that of the inspection opening 13, so that when the cover plate 2 is closed, its edge position can be placed on the top cover 12, and under the action of gravity and the pressure of the landfill soil, the cover plate 2 closes the inspection opening 13.
[0029] Further, to facilitate the workers in opening the cover plate 2, a handle 21 is welded on the cover plate 2. Moreover, since the handle 21 will be filled with soil after landfill, when maintenance is required, the workers need to first clean the soil at the handle 21 before they can open the cover plate 2. To ensure the cleanliness of the handle 21, a protective case 3 corresponding to the handle 21 is also installed on the cover plate 2. The protective case 3 is hinged on the cover plate 2. Before landfill, after closing the cover plate 2, the protective case 3 is flipped to cover the handle 21, thereby protecting the handle 21. When maintenance is carried out, the soil on the top of the cover plate 2 is dug out, the protective case 3 is opened to expose the handle 21, and the cover plate 2 is opened through the handle 21, then the inside of the box body 1 can be entered.
[0030] A cleaning mechanism 4, the cleaning mechanism 4 includes an air compressor 41, an intake main pipe 42, intake branch pipes 43, and air nozzles 44. The intake branch pipes 43 are fixedly installed at the bottom inside the box body 1 through buckles, and the air nozzles 44 are evenly arranged on the intake branch pipes 43. One end of the intake main pipe 42 is connected to the air compressor 41, and the other end extends into the box body 1 and is connected to the intake branch pipes 43. After long-term use, the filter holes 11 on the box body 1 are easily blocked by substances such as soil and scale. By injecting gas into the box body 1 through the air compressor 41, the air pressure inside the box body 1 can be increased, thereby flushing away the blockages at the filter holes 11, relieving the blockage, and ensuring the normal water filtration of the box body 1. Further, the air compressor 41 can be set to run regularly, so that the box body 1 can be cleaned regularly to achieve automatic cleaning.
[0031] A pumping mechanism 5, the pumping mechanism 5 is installed inside the box body 1, and the accumulated water inside the box body 1 can be pumped and drained through the pumping mechanism 5. The pumping mechanism 5 includes a bracket 51, a water pump 52, and a drain pipe 54. The bracket 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 1, and the water pump 52 is fixedly installed on the bracket 51. The drainage end of the water pump 52 is connected to the drain pipe 54. Further, a filter cover 53 is installed at the water inlet end of the water pump 52 to prevent impurities from entering the water pump 52 and causing damage to the water pump 52.
[0032] Further, there is a certain distance between the water inlet end of the water pump 52 and the bottom surface of the box body 1. This distance is affected by the size of the box body 1 and the local environment and can be adjusted flexibly. The reason for this is that after long-term use, a large amount of sediment, such as small particle gravel, will accumulate at the bottom of the box body 1. If the water pump 52 is directly installed at the bottom of the box body 1, its operation is easily affected by the sediment. When there is a lot of sediment, workers need to enter the box body 1 for manual cleaning.
[0033] In some embodiments, to further alleviate the problem of blockage of the filter holes 11, when installing the box body 1, rubble can be used to fill around it to form a primary filtration layer to block large particle impurities outside. When ecological restoration is required, after lifting the box body 1 out of the soil, the pit can be backfilled, which is convenient and fast.
[0034] Finally, it should also be noted that in this article, relationships such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms including, containing or any other variant are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
[0035] The embodiments of the present application have been described above. The above description is exemplary and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The choice of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other ordinary skill in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
