Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of multi-stage sedimentation tank technology, and in particular to a multi-stage sedimentation tank with built-in water-dividing partition wall. Background Technology
[0002] Dividing walls are wall structures used to separate different sedimentation units in a multi-stage grit chamber. They are set perpendicular to the water flow direction, dividing the grit chamber into several relatively independent areas, each of which is a sedimentation unit. These walls extend from the bottom of the chamber to a certain height, and their tops are generally lower than the top of the chamber, so that sewage can flow smoothly from one unit to another. The height of the dividing walls is determined according to the design requirements and water flow characteristics of the multi-stage grit chamber. In the front sedimentation units near the inlet, the wall height is relatively low. This is because the front mainly focuses on the initial sedimentation of larger sand particles in the sewage. Lower walls allow the water flow to pass through relatively quickly, allowing large sand particles to settle under stronger water impact in a shorter time.
[0003] A multi-stage grit chamber is a wastewater treatment facility consisting of multiple grit chamber units connected in series. Each grit chamber unit has its own inlet and outlet. Wastewater flows through these units in sequence, gradually achieving the sedimentation and separation of grit particles. In a typical three-stage grit chamber, wastewater first enters the first-stage unit, undergoes preliminary sedimentation, then enters the second stage, and finally undergoes more refined sedimentation before entering the third stage. This multi-stage approach improves the grit removal efficiency.
[0004] Removing sand particles from wastewater is a crucial preliminary step in water purification. Reducing sand content also facilitates the smooth operation of subsequent advanced treatment processes, improving the final effluent quality to meet discharge standards or reuse requirements. This is of great significance for protecting the water environment and ensuring the sustainable use of water resources. Traditional grit chambers are not hydraulically precise enough to adapt to changes in wastewater flow and quality. When wastewater flow fluctuates significantly, such as during the rainy season or peak water usage periods, single-stage grit chambers may experience excessive hydraulic load due to excessive influent flow, causing sand particles to be washed away before they can settle. Conversely, when the flow rate is low, sludge accumulation may occur due to the slow water velocity. The unstable flow pattern inside traditional grit chambers can easily lead to dead zones and short circuits, preventing some wastewater from fully contacting the grit settling area, reducing grit settling efficiency, and affecting effluent quality.

[0047] Please see the appendix Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 4An inlet trough 20 is fixedly connected to the front of the outer wall of the sedimentation tank 1.

[0049] Working principle: When sewage enters through the inlet tank 20, it first reaches the compartment inside the first partition wall 3, thus slowing down the sewage flow. At the same time, impurities in the sewage settle to the bottom. The sewage then enters the second partition wall 4 from the top of the first partition wall 3. The surface of the second partition wall 4 has holes 9, which can both settle impurities and filter the sewage. The sewage is further slowed down by the second partition wall 4 and reaches the bottom of the filter plate 5. Because the internal outlet of the filter plate 5 is located at its top, the sewage settles more deeply inside. Then, the sewage reaches the sedimentation tank 6 for treatment through the top outlet of the filter plate 5. Finally, the sewage is discharged through the outlet tank 13, which allows the sewage to be cleaned in an orderly manner, facilitating later maintenance.
[0050] To facilitate the treatment of sludge inside the sedimentation tank 1, an adjustment mechanism 2 is installed at the top of the sedimentation tank 1. This mechanism is driven and controlled by a motor 201, which enables the transmission shaft 202 to drive the gear 206 fixedly connected to its outer wall to rotate. This allows the gear shaft 204 meshing with the outer wall of the gear 206 to slide inside the sliding sleeve 203, which in turn drives the sludge hopper 21 at the bottom to move upward, thereby treating the sludge inside the sludge hopper 21 and significantly improving the cleaning efficiency.
