Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, in particular to an automatic sludge reflux device for sewage treatment. Background Art

[0002] Since sludge return is a key process step in ensuring effluent quality in sewage treatment plants, controlling the activated sludge return volume and return ratio becomes crucial for operational operation when water volume and quality fluctuate significantly. Through sludge return, the sludge that settles in the secondary sedimentation tank after entering the biochemical tank effluent is returned to the system to maintain a stable activated sludge volume and normal treatment process. Currently, sludge return is generally achieved using an air stripping device. This device uses a tubular aerator to generate bubbles in the rotary drum, increasing the air pressure inside the drum and squeezing out the sludge accumulated at the bottom of the drum to complete the sludge return operation.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent with authorization publication number CN212941638U discloses an automatic activated sludge return device, which includes a bottom plate, a sedimentation tank, a diversion pipe group, a diversion plate, a reflux cylinder, a sludge discharge cylinder, a diversion motor and a sludge discharge motor. The sedimentation tank is installed on the bottom plate through support legs, and the diversion pipe group is installed at the bottom of the sedimentation tank.

[0004] However, in the prior art, after the air stripping device stops working, the aerator no longer generates bubbles, which further causes the air pressure in the transfer drum to remain stable, and the sludge and water in the transfer drum cannot be completely discharged. The sludge remaining in the transfer drum is prone to breeding bacteria and microorganisms, which is not conducive to keeping the interior of the air stripping device clean, and is likely to cause the metal parts inside the air stripping device to rust. Therefore, the present application provides a sludge automatic reflux device for sewage treatment to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0008] The drainpipe extends outwardly from the drainpipe, and the drainpipe extends outwardly from the drainpipe, where it is connected to the drainpipe for draining out the sewage.

[0009] Preferably, the rubber stopper is truncated cone-shaped.

[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the guide plate is on the extension line of the outer surface of the rubber stopper.
