Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a filter media collection device, and more specifically, to a liftable filter media collection device. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, over time, fine suspended solids and colloidal substances in the wastewater are trapped on the surface and in the pores of the filter media, leading to a decrease in the porosity of the filter media, an increase in head loss, and a decline in treatment efficiency. To ensure the normal operation of the filter, it is necessary to backwash it to remove the contaminants from the filter layer and restore the filter's treatment capacity.
[0003] However, backwashing can easily lead to significant loss of filter media. This is especially true for lightweight filter media, as existing filter media collection devices are ineffective at intercepting lightweight media, are bulky, have high processing costs, and are inconvenient to operate.
[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to propose a filter media collection device to improve upon the shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art. Utility Model Content

[0064] Figures 1-3The diagrams show front and side views of a filter media collection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The filter media collection device 100 mainly includes an outlet unit 110 and multiple screen assemblies 120 and 130. The outlet unit 110 has two side walls 112 extending vertically and an outlet weir 114 located between the two side walls 112, through which liquid flows out. The screen assemblies 120 and 130 include screens 121 and 131, each having multiple pores to intercept filter media in the liquid and prevent filter media loss. The screens 121 and 131 can be made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel mesh or plastic mesh. The pore size of the screens 121 and 131 can be adjusted according to the filter media particle size; for example, the open area ratio can be not less than 50% to effectively intercept filter media in wastewater.
[0065] To facilitate the replacement and maintenance of screens 121 and 131, the filter media collection device 100 also includes multiple vertically extending guide rails for guiding the vertical movement of screen assemblies 120 and 130. Specifically, the filter media collection device 100 includes two side guide rails 142 and at least one intermediate guide rail 146. The two side guide rails 142 are fixed to corresponding side walls 112, and the intermediate guide rail 146 is located horizontally between the two side guide rails 142 and fixed to the outlet weir 114. The lengths of the side guide rails 142 and the intermediate guide rail 146 can be adjusted according to specific application requirements, for example, approximately 1m. The screen assemblies 120 and 130 also include frames 122 and 132, to which the screens 121 and 131 are surrounded and fixed. Frames 122 and 132 have two sides 123 and 133, a bottom 124 and 134, and a top 125 and 135. The two sides 123 and 133 extend vertically and are spaced apart, while the bottom 124 and 134 and the top 125 and 135 extend horizontally and connect to the two sides 123 and 133 respectively. The sides 123 and 133 of the frames 122 and 132 can cooperate with side guide rails 142 and / or intermediate guide rails 146 to allow the frames 122 and 132 to move vertically along the side guide rails 142 and / or intermediate guide rails 146, thereby facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the screens 121 and 131. Frames 122 and 132 may be made of PVC material. The frames 122 and 132 are made of lightweight materials, which reduces their weight and makes it easier to lift the screen assemblies 120 and 130.
[0066] Preferably, the filter media collection device 100 may further include a bottom support member 150, which is fixed to the outlet weir 114 (e.g., by chemical bolts). The bottom support member 150 is configured to support the bottoms 124, 134 of the frames 122, 132 from below the bottoms of the frames 122, 132. For example, the bottom support member 150 may be made of stainless steel angle steel. The bottom support member 150 can support the screens 121, 131 used to intercept filter media, while also providing a seal to prevent filter media loss.
[0067] Furthermore, the filter media collection device 100 may also include a handle 160, which is connected to the top of the frames 122 and 132.
