Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aerator technology, and more particularly to a multi-nozzle swirl aerator. Background Technology

[0002] Aeration is a key process in wastewater treatment and aquaculture. It increases the dissolved oxygen content in the water by forcibly injecting air into it, thereby meeting the needs of microbial metabolism or the survival of aquatic plants and animals.

[0003] Existing suspended aeration equipment typically includes a cutter, a base, and an eccentrically mounted inlet riser. However, due to the eccentric mounting of the inlet riser, the center of gravity of the aerator changes significantly, causing the aerator to easily deform from a vertical position to a tilted position during aeration. This results in unsatisfactory stability and aeration volume during use. Furthermore, compared to ground-fixed aerators, it lacks a diversion structure, leading to a significant decrease in aeration volume and a substantial increase in the aeration time required. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem this application aims to solve is that existing suspended aerators are prone to positional shifts due to center of gravity imbalance during use, and the lack of a diversion structure also leads to low aeration volume, resulting in unsatisfactory stability and aeration volume.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a multi-nozzle swirl aerator, comprising a bracket for basic support, a vertically arranged riser at the center of the upper part of the bracket to avoid center of gravity shift and for spraying air for mixing, and multiple cutters coaxially arranged on the outer side of the riser, which engage with the bracket to cut the water body to generate fine bubbles and dissolve oxygen; three outwardly extending and connected manifold branches are evenly arranged circumferentially at the lower end of the riser, and nozzles are provided on the upper part of the manifold branches, with the axis of the nozzles inclined at an angle of 16 to 60° to the horizontal plane.

[0006] Because the aerator of this application is designed with a bracket, a riser and a cutter, it can stabilize the center of gravity of the aerator through the bracket and the riser, and increase the aeration volume of the aerator through the nozzle and the cutter. This solves the problem that the existing suspended aerator is prone to positional deviation due to the offset of the center of gravity, resulting in unsatisfactory stability and aeration volume. Moreover, the lack of a diversion structure can also lead to low aeration volume. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Example

[0017] This application relates to a multi-nozzle type swirl aerator, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the aerator includes a bracket 3 for basic support. A vertically arranged riser 10 is arranged at the center of the upper part of the bracket 3 to avoid the center of gravity shift and to spray air for mixing. On the outside of the riser 10, multiple cutters 2 are arranged coaxially with the bracket 3 to cut the water body to generate fine bubbles and dissolve oxygen.

[0018] The cutter 2 includes a cylinder 8, a mushroom-shaped cutting head 7, and a clamping plate 9. The cylinder 8 has a straight, hollow structure. Multiple mushroom-shaped cutting heads 7 are evenly arranged circumferentially inside the cylinder 8 to cut the gas and improve mixing efficiency. Clamping plates 9 are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the cylinder 8 to engage with the side walls of the bracket 3. To further enhance the cutting effect of the mushroom-shaped cutting head 7, it is mushroom-shaped. The mushroom-shaped cutting head 7 and the cylinder 8 are integrally cast, allowing for easy replacement. Furthermore, the cutting head 7 is threadedly connected to the cylinder 8, facilitating easy replacement.

[0019] The bracket 3 includes a base plate 6, side plates 5, and a pressure plate 4. The base plate 6 is placed horizontally at the bottom of the aerator. The upper part of the base plate 6 has side plates 5 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the riser 10, which are adapted to the clamping plate 9 for clamping and fixing. The top of the side plate 5 is also arranged with a pressure plate 4 connected to it by a detachable bolt 6 for pressing and fixing the cylinder 8. The center of the pressure plate 4 is also sleeved with the riser 10, thereby playing an axial auxiliary support role. The bracket 3 is made of stainless steel with high strength and corrosion resistance.

[0020] The riser 10 is a hollow tubular structure with its bottom sidewall welded to the bottom plate side plate 5. At the upper end of the riser 10, a hollow threaded sleeve 1 is arranged to be threadedly connected to it, so as to facilitate suspension and fixation with the hoisting rod in the site using the threaded sleeve 1. The lower end of the riser 10 is closed.

[0021] To increase aeration, three outwardly extending and interconnected manifold branches 11 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction at the lower end of the riser 10. The included angle between the manifold branches 11 is 120°. A nozzle 12 is added to the upper part of the manifold branches 11. The angle of inclination between the axis of the nozzle 12 and the horizontal plane is 16-60°. The length ratio between the manifold branches 11 and the nozzle 12 is 3-5:1, and the diameter ratio between the manifold branches 11 and the nozzle 12 is 1-2:1. This allows the gas ejected by the nozzle 12 to be efficiently mixed with the water in a counterclockwise swirling manner. The cross-sectional shape of the branches and nozzles can be rectangular or circular.

[0022] In use, the aerator is suspended in the water. The riser 10 is connected to a lifting rod with lifting capacity via a threaded sleeve 1 at its upper end. Air is then introduced into the riser 10 along the lifting rod. The gas is then evenly dispersed circumferentially through the manifold branch pipe 11 at the bottom of the riser 10 and ejected through the nozzles 12 inclined at the top of the manifold branch pipe 11. This causes a large number of air bubbles to fill the water inside the cylinder 8, driving the water to circulate upwards. The gas and water then interact with each other... The collision between the mushroom-shaped aerator heads 7 causes the gas to burst, thereby increasing the contact area with the water. This allows the gas to fully contact the water, promoting the oxidation and decomposition of organic matter in the water and increasing the dissolved oxygen content, which is beneficial for the growth and reproduction of subsequent microorganisms. The centrally suspended riser 10 ensures that the aerator's center of gravity is relatively stable during operation and will not shift. Furthermore, thanks to the arrangement of the manifold branches 11 and nozzles 12, the aeration rate is effectively increased.
