Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, in particular to a filter material loss prevention device and system. Background Art
[0002] Aeration filter is a commonly used process in sewage treatment. The filter media filled in the filter can filter out a large amount of suspended solids in the sewage and adsorb and remove some pollutants. The type and amount of filter media are important factors that determine the removal effect of the filter.
[0003] In wastewater treatment, aeration filters are categorized into upflow and downflow types based on the direction of water flow. Upflow aeration filters are the most widely used. To ensure sufficient contact area between the filter media and the wastewater, the filter media used in these filters are characterized by small, lightweight particles, such as ceramsite and activated carbon.
[0004] Currently, the outlet troughs in upflow aeration filters are typically located at the edge or a higher position in the center of the tank. Upflowing wastewater overflows into the outlet trough after being filtered by the filter media and then discharged from the tank. However, conventional outlet troughs have the following disadvantages:
[0005] 1. Serious filter media loss increases the cost of sewage treatment. When both air and water flow upward, lightweight filter media will rise with the bubbles and overflow into the outlet tank with the water flow and be discharged. This causes filter media loss. If appropriate measures are not taken to intercept this loss, filter media must be continuously replenished to ensure sewage treatment effectiveness, thereby increasing sewage treatment costs.
[0006] Second, the filter media interception method is simple and the interception effect is unsatisfactory. In existing filter tanks, the commonly used method to prevent filter media leakage is to add a small-diameter filter screen at the outlet. The filter screen is usually made of plastic or metal. However, because sewage contains a large amount of corrosive substances and suspended solids, it is easy to cause filter screen clogging or corrosion, requiring regular replacement or manual cleaning, which increases the labor burden.
[0007] In order to effectively overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the outlet trough, the patent involved in publication number CN111068375A (hereinafter referred to as the basic patent) discloses a filter material interception device and system, which changes the flow direction of the upward flow at the outlet channel by arranging a baffle on the outside of the outlet channel, so that the filter material rising with the upward flow is blocked and sinks back to the bottom of the filter tank to achieve the reuse of the filter material. However, when the aeration gas volume or the upward flow water volume is large, especially when the filter material is backwashed, the upward flow velocity is large and a large intensity of turbulence will be generated at the edge of the baffle, which will still cause some filter material to enter the outlet channel, resulting in the inability to effectively prevent the loss of filter material under the condition of large turbulence. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a filter material loss prevention device and system to solve the technical problems described in the background technology.
[0009] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention adds a movable baffle through a hinged part on the basis of a fixed baffle, and ensures that the movable baffle can swing to a certain extent with the rising water flow, thereby converting the mechanical energy of the rising water flow into the mechanical energy of the movable baffle, reducing the turbulence intensity of the rising water flow, and then facilitating the filter material floated by the air flow and water flow to settle back to the bottom of the filter tank under the action of gravity, rather than entering the water outlet trough for reuse. At the same time, the swing of the movable baffle can also shake off the filter material deposited on the baffle, so that it falls back to the bottom of the filter tank to avoid siltation on the baffle.

[0030] The following describes the principles and features of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Figure 1-2 , the preferred embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail:
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred filter material loss prevention system of the present invention includes a filter tank 2 and a filter material loss prevention device arranged in the filter tank 2, wherein the filter material loss prevention device specifically includes:
[0032] The outlet trough 4 is fixedly arranged in the filter tank 2, and the top notch 4 thereof is flush with the outlet water level 1 of the filter tank 2 (after the system is stably operated, the outlet water level 1 of the filter tank 2 will naturally stabilize to the top notch of the outlet trough 4 for water outlet), and is used to receive and discharge sewage treated by the filter material 3 and sewage generated after backwashing the filter material 3;
[0033] A fixed baffle, which is arranged obliquely on the outside of the water outlet trough 4 and fixed to the water outlet trough 4 by a connecting piece 6. The fixed baffle is used to change the flow direction of the rising liquid at the water outlet trough 4 so that the filter material 3 rising with the liquid is blocked and sinks. The top of the fixed baffle is inclined toward the side away from the water outlet trough 4 and its top is lower than the top edge of the water outlet trough 4;
[0034] A movable baffle, which is rotatably mounted on the top and bottom edges of the fixed baffle via hinges 7 (such as hinges or hinges) and can swing with the flow of the liquid; and
[0035] A limiter 13 is provided on the outside of the movable baffle and is used to limit the movable baffle from swinging within a predetermined angle range;
[0036] The cross section of the water outlet trough 4 is an arc or polygon, and there is no right angle at the bottom of the water outlet trough 4. The structural design of the water outlet trough 4 with this cross section increases the space between the water outlet trough 4 and the baffle, which can make the filter material 3 fall more quickly. Moreover, this design makes it difficult for the filter material 3 to adhere to the outer wall of the water outlet trough 4. Even if some of the filter material 3 adheres to the outer wall of the water outlet trough 4, it is easily affected by the flow of sewage and falls off the outer wall of the water outlet trough 4 into the sewage and falls back to the bottom of the filter tank 2, thereby realizing the reuse of the filter material 3. When the system is running, when the upward flow sewage carrying the filter material 3 flows to the water outlet trough 4, due to the blocking effect of the fixed baffle and the movable baffle, the filter material 3 lacks the upward power and sinks under the action of its own gravity, so that it will not enter the water outlet trough 4 and be lost.
[0037] When the outlet trough 4 is set in the middle of the filter tank 2, a first fixed baffle 5 and a second fixed baffle 10 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the outlet trough 4, and the top ends of the first fixed baffle 5 and the second fixed baffle 10 are both lower than the notch of the outlet trough 4 to ensure that the sewage on the outside of the two can flow smoothly into the outlet trough 4. In order to obtain the best anti-loss effect of the filter material 3, the height difference between the top end of the fixed baffle and the top edge of the outlet trough 4 can be selected and adjusted accordingly according to the actual engineering conditions. The first fixed baffle 5 is inclined to the left, that is, the distance between the top end of the plate body and the axis of the outlet trough 4 is greater than the distance between the bottom end of the plate body and the axis of the outlet trough 4. The second fixed baffle 10 is inclined to the right, that is, the distance between the top end of the plate body and the axis of the outlet trough 4 is greater than the distance between the bottom end of the plate body and the axis of the outlet trough 4. The distance between the bottom end of the plate body and the axis of the water outlet trough 4, the inclined design of the fixed baffle increases the interception area of the fixed baffle for the filter material 3 and improves the anti-loss effect. The vertically rising filter material 3 sinks after encountering the inclined fixed baffle and re-enters the treated sewage. On the other hand, the filter material 3 falling into the fixed baffle and between the fixed baffle and the water outlet trough 4 can slide better along the inclined surface into the sewage in the filter tank 2. The combined effect of the above two aspects ensures that the filter material 3 on both sides of the fixed baffle falls back into the system without entering the water outlet trough 4. In order to better intercept and facilitate the sliding of the filter material 3, the angle between the fixed baffle and the horizontal plane is preferably 45 to 60 degrees. The top and bottom ends of the first fixed baffle 5 are hinged with the first upper movable baffle 8 and The first lower movable baffle 9, the first upper movable baffle 8 is suspended in a vertical state when not impacted by water flow, and a limiting member 13 is fixedly provided on the hinge 7 between the first upper movable baffle 8 and the first fixed baffle 5. This limiting member 13 is set horizontally, one end of which is fixed on the hinge 7 and will rotate with the rotation of the hinge 7 and always maintain a horizontal setting state, and the other end extends toward the side away from the water outlet 4 (i.e., the left side) and is located on the movable route of the first upper movable baffle 8 to limit the first upper movable baffle 8 so that the maximum upper swing height of the first upper movable baffle 8 does not exceed the top edge height of the first fixed baffle 5. A limiting member 13 is also fixedly provided on the hinge 7 between the first lower movable baffle 9 and the first fixed baffle 5. This limiting member 13 is tilted, one end of which is fixed on the hinge 7 and rotates with the rotation of the hinge 7 to always maintain the designed setting state, and the other end extends toward the side close to the water outlet 4 (i.e., the right side) and is located on the movable route of the first lower movable baffle 9 to limit the first lower movable baffle 9, and the free end of this limiting member 13 is tilted obliquely downward, that is, the height of the free end of this limiting member 13 is lower than the height of its hinged end, so that the first lower movable baffle 8 can tilt downward when it is at the maximum swing position, so that the filter material 3 attached thereto can slide smoothly from its plate body and will not accumulate here. Similarly, the second upper movable baffle 11 and the second lower movable baffle 12 hinged at the top and bottom ends of the second fixed baffle 10 are also limited by the limiting member 13.In order to ensure that the upward-flowing sewage will not flow directly along the gap between the baffle and the outlet trough 4 to the notch position of the outlet trough 4 carrying the filter material 3 without being intercepted by the baffle, in the overhead direction, the distribution range of the outlet trough 4 all falls within the distribution range of the fixed baffle and the movable baffle. For this reason, the bottom end elevations of the first fixed baffle 5 and the second fixed baffle 10 should be set in a high-low staggered form to ensure that the first lower movable baffle 9 and the second lower movable baffle 12 extending oppositely can have an overlapping area in the horizontal direction, and the lower movable baffle can directly The filter material 3 that floats below is prevented from continuing to float up and enter the water outlet trough 4, and it can also swing a certain amplitude along with the rising water flow, converting the mechanical energy of the rising water flow into its own mechanical energy, thereby reducing the turbulence intensity of the rising water flow and preventing the floating filter material 3 from continuing to float up and enter the water outlet trough 4. At the same time, the swing of the lower movable baffle can also shake the filter material 3 settled on the lower movable baffle back into the system without entering the water outlet trough 4. The combined effect of the above three aspects ensures that the floating filter material 3 below the anti-loss device falls back into the system without entering the water outlet trough 4.
[0038] When the outlet trough 4 is arranged on one side of the filter tank 2, the wall of the filter tank 2 will play the role of a baffle on one side. To this end, it is only necessary to normally arrange the upper movable baffle, fixed baffle, lower movable baffle and limit member 13 on the side away from the wall of the filter tank 2 on the basis of the baffles on both sides. On the side close to the wall of the filter tank 2, the upper movable baffle and fixed baffle can be directly omitted. Only the movable baffle is directly hinged on the wall of the filter tank 2 through the hinge 7 and the limit member 13 is correspondingly arranged.
[0039] In order to ensure that the filter material 3 between the baffle and the water outlet trough 4 can smoothly fall back to the bottom of the filter tank 2 for reuse, the gap between the baffle and the water outlet trough 4 needs to be designed specifically to ensure that the filter material 3 can fall back to the bottom of the filter tank 2 along the gap between the fixed baffles, the gap between the fixed baffles and the water outlet trough 4, the gap between the movable baffles and the movable baffles, and the gap between the movable baffle and the water outlet trough 4;
[0040] In order to avoid the problem that the filter material 3 is deposited and stuck in the gap between the movable baffle and the limiting member 13, thereby reducing the swing angle range of the movable baffle, in some preferred embodiments, the limiting member 13 is a rod-shaped structure to reduce the deposition area of the filter material 3 particles on the limiting member 13. Among them, the limiting member 13 is preferably a corrosion-resistant rigid cylindrical rod. It should be noted that at this time, in order to ensure that the limiting member 13 fully exerts its stable limiting effect, the limiting members 13 are preferably arranged in several groups at intervals along the extension direction of the baffle;
[0041] Considering that the water flow rate is high during backwashing, the lower movable baffle swings up and down more violently. At this time, due to the swing of the lower movable baffle, turbulence will also be generated, causing the filter material 3 to move up along the channel between the outlet trough 4 and the baffle. In order to deal with this problem, Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the lower movable baffle is provided with a plurality of water permeable holes 14 at intervals, and the opening rate of the water permeable holes 14 on the lower movable baffle is between 30% and 50% (that is, the opening area accounts for 30% to 50% of the total area of the lower movable baffle), wherein the water permeable holes 14 can be various shapes such as circular or polygonal, and the size of the water permeable holes 14 can be larger than the particle size of the filter material 3 or smaller than the particle size of the filter material 3. The function of the water permeable holes 14 is to effectively reduce the violent impact disturbance of the water flow and airflow on the lower movable baffles on both sides during backwashing, while not affecting the effect of reducing the turbulence intensity of the rising water flow, and the water flow on both sides of the lower movable baffle is cut by the lower movable baffle, and its turbulence intensity can be effectively reduced. When the size of the water permeable holes 14 is larger than the particle size of the filter material 3, even if the filter material 3 passes through the lower movable baffle, due to the reduction of the turbulence intensity of the rising water flow, the filter material 3 passing through the lower movable baffle will sink and will not float up into the water outlet trough 4;
[0042] Since the water quality of the effluent during backwashing is poor, if the treated sewage and backwash water are discharged directly through the same drain outlet, it may cause the water quality of some effluent to be substandard. For this reason, in some preferred embodiments, a first water outlet 15 and a second water outlet 16 are opened on the trough wall at the end of the outlet trough 4. The first water outlet 15 is used to discharge the sewage treated by the filter material 3, and the second water outlet 16 is used to discharge the sewage generated after backwashing. The backwash sewage discharged from the second water outlet 16 is discharged through a special pipe for further treatment. The cross-sectional size of the second water outlet 16 is larger than the cross-sectional size of the first water outlet 15. Under normal circumstances, if actual conditions permit, the second water outlet 16 should be set at the bottom end of the outlet trough 4 to ensure that the backwash sewage can be discharged. In actual operation, when normally receiving and discharging the sewage treated by the filter material 3, the first water outlet 15 is opened and the second water outlet 16 is closed. When backwashing is performed, the first water outlet 15 is closed and the second water outlet 16 is opened.
[0043] The setting of the movable baffle can effectively reduce the turbulence intensity during backwashing. Ultimately, through the cooperation of the movable baffle and the fixed baffle, the floating filter material 3 is returned to the filter tank 2 system through the synergistic effect of direct interception, reduction of turbulence intensity, swing energy consumption and swing separation, effectively preventing the loss of filter material 3 and reducing the impact of filter material 3 on effluent water quality and subsequent treatment facilities.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
