DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present invention, its application, or uses.

[0024] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0025] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0026] according to Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a tobacco stem washing water pretreatment device, including a pretreatment water tank.

[0027] The interior of the pretreatment water tank is formed into three independent cavities, namely the sedimentation filtration stage 1, the filtration stage 2 and the pretreatment stage, through the first partition 120 and the second partition 121; the height of the first partition 120 is higher than the height of the second partition 121, and the tops of the first partition 120 and the second partition 121 are respectively provided with a first filter mesh 106 and a second filter mesh 108.

[0028] A sewage inlet 101 is provided on one side of the sedimentation and filtration section to carry out sedimentation and filtration of the sewage. When the water level in the sedimentation and filtration section is higher than the first partition 120, the sewage flows into the second filtration section through the first filter 106, and after being filtered through the second filter 108, it flows to the pretreatment section. A water outlet 117 is provided at the bottom of the pretreatment section to discharge the water after the second filtration for tobacco stem washing.

[0029] The sewage enters the sedimentation and filtration section of the pretreatment equipment and is left to settle. The liquid level in the sedimentation section continues to rise. When the liquid level is higher than the first filter screen 106, the settled water passes through the first filter screen 106 and enters the second filtration section to filter out large solid particles floating on the liquid surface. When the liquid level in the second filtration section exceeds the second filter screen 108, the cleaning liquid enters the pretreatment section. The cleaning water after the secondary filtration can basically filter out the solid particles in the water.

[0030] Furthermore, a first sewage outlet 102 is provided at the bottom of the first sedimentation and filtration section, and a first nozzle assembly 103 is provided at the top of the section near the sewage inlet 101 to spray and clean the interior of the section. Impurities at the bottom of the first sedimentation and filtration section need to be regularly discharged to prevent excessive sedimentation within the section, which would result in a high sedimentation level and prevent effective sedimentation within the section.

[0031] Furthermore, a second sewage outlet 104 is provided at the bottom of the second filtration stage, and second nozzle groups 107 are provided on both sides of the top of the first partition 120 to spray and clean the sedimentation filtration stage 1, the second filtration stage and the first filter screen 106.

[0032] A first turbidity sensor 110 is provided on the inner wall of the second filter section. When the turbidity of the water in the second filter section is higher than a preset value, the second sewage outlet 104 is opened to drain the sewage in the second filter section, and the second nozzle group 107 is opened simultaneously.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first turbidity sensor 110 installed in the second filtration stage monitors the turbidity of the water in the second filtration stage in real time. If the turbidity of the water in the second filtration stage seriously exceeds the standard, the second sewage outlet 104 of the second filtration stage will be opened to discharge sewage to prevent sewage with excessive turbidity from entering the pretreatment stage. After the sewage discharge is completed, the second nozzle group 107 is automatically started to scan the water pool and the first filter screen 106 of the second filtration stage through the second nozzle group 107. After the cleaning timer ends, the second sewage outlet 104 at the bottom is closed to enter the next sewage treatment process.

[0034] Furthermore, a third sewage outlet 105 is provided at the bottom of the pretreatment section, and a third nozzle group 109 and a fourth nozzle group 114 are respectively provided at the top of the second partition 121 and the side wall of the pretreatment section. The third nozzle group 109 is used for spray cleaning of the second filter screen 108 and the pretreatment section, and the fourth nozzle group 114 is used for spray cleaning of the pretreatment section.

[0035] A second turbidity sensor 112 is provided on the inner wall of the pretreatment section. When the turbidity of the water in the pretreatment section is higher than a preset value, the third sewage outlet 105 is opened to drain the sewage in the pretreatment section, and the third nozzle group 109 and the fourth nozzle group 114 are opened synchronously.

[0036] In this embodiment, the operation method is the same as that in the above-mentioned second filtration stage. The second turbidity sensor 112 installed in the pretreatment section monitors the turbidity of the water in the pretreatment section in real time. If the turbidity of the water in the pretreatment section seriously exceeds the standard, the third sewage outlet 105 of the pretreatment section will be opened for sewage discharge to prevent sewage with excessive turbidity from entering the subsequent cleaning stage. After the sewage discharge is completed, the third nozzle group 109 and the fourth nozzle group 114 are automatically started to scan the water pool and the second filter screen 108 of the pretreatment section through the third nozzle group 109, and the fourth nozzle group 114 cleans the parts that the third nozzle group 109 cannot spray. After the cleaning timer ends, the third sewage outlet 105 at the bottom is closed to enter the next sewage treatment process.

[0037] Furthermore, an intrusive condensation water coil 119 is provided inside the pretreatment section, and the condensation water interface 118 of the intrusive condensation water coil 119 is located outside the pretreatment section to connect the waste heat of the workshop condensation water and heat the cleaning water inside the pretreatment section through heat conduction; and a temperature sensor 111 is provided on the inner wall of the pretreatment section to detect the water temperature inside the pretreatment section in real time.

[0038] In this embodiment, the distributed workshop condensate is installed at the bottom of the pretreatment section and flows through the intrusive condensate coil 119. The water level of the pretreatment section submerges the intrusive condensate coil 119. The waste heat of the workshop condensate is used to heat the cleaning water through heat exchange. The condensate will not pollute the cleaning water during the reheating process. The intrusive condensate coil 119 in the pretreatment section uses the waste heat of the workshop condensate to heat the cleaning water through heat conduction. The flow rate of the condensate in the coil is controlled according to the temperature difference between the water temperature sensor value and the standard value.

[0039] Furthermore, a liquid level sensor 113 is installed at the top of the side wall of the pretreatment section to monitor the cleaning water level inside the pretreatment section in real time. A water inlet 116 is also installed on the side wall of the pretreatment section. When the liquid level sensor 113 detects that the cleaning water level in the pretreatment section is low, the water inlet 116 is connected to tap water for timely replenishment. An overflow port 115 is also installed on the side wall of the pretreatment section above the water inlet 116. Overflow port 115 corresponds to the high liquid level of the cleaning water in the pretreatment section and is normally open.

[0040] In this embodiment, water passing through the second filter 108 enters the pretreatment section. A liquid level sensor 113 is installed in the pretreatment section to monitor the liquid level in real time. When the pretreatment section liquid level falls below the low level, water is replenished by opening the tap water replenishment valve. Replenishment stops when the liquid level rises above the low level. If the liquid level falls below the high level but rises above the low level and the turbidity of the pretreatment section water exceeds the water use standard, the turbidity is reduced by blending with tap water. If the liquid level rises above the high level and the turbidity of the pretreatment section water exceeds the water use standard, the third drain port 105 at the bottom is opened to drain the water and then add tap water to blend the water to reduce the turbidity until the turbidity reaches the standard.

[0041] During the shutdown and maintenance phase, the water in the entire pretreatment water tank is drained, and the entire device is automatically cleaned through the automatic cleaning nozzle group, including the coil cleaning of the pretreatment section.

[0042] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail through examples, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
