Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of activated carbon tower technology, specifically a continuous activated carbon tower for wastewater treatment. Background Technology

[0002] Wastewater treatment is the process of purifying wastewater to meet the water quality requirements for discharge into a water body or for reuse. It is widely used in various fields such as construction, agriculture, energy, and environmental protection. Activated carbon towers are purification equipment for treating wastewater and can effectively remove odors, natural and synthetic dissolved organic matter, micro-pollutants, etc. from water.

[0003] After prolonged use, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon in an activated carbon tower gradually decreases, requiring replacement. In common activated carbon towers, replacement involves opening the outlet and emptying the activated carbon. However, the remaining activated carbon inside the tower needs to be manually removed using a long, thin tool, which is inconvenient and incomplete. Therefore, to address these issues, a continuous activated carbon tower for wastewater treatment is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous activated carbon tower for wastewater treatment to solve the problem of inconvenient cleaning of activated carbon residue in the tower.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A continuous activated carbon tower for wastewater treatment includes an activated carbon tower body, an inlet, connecting pipes, and an outlet. The inlet is located at the top of the activated carbon tower body, and connecting pipes are located on both sides of the activated carbon tower body. An outlet is located at the front of the activated carbon tower body, and several bolts are located on one side of the outlet. A storage pipe is located inside the activated carbon tower body, and granular activated carbon is located inside the storage pipe. A baffle with an inclined top is tightly fitted inside the storage pipe, and a slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle. A pull rod is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle, and a disc-shaped pull block is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod. A slide rail is embedded at the bottom of the storage pipe, and a rubber block with protrusions on both the upper and lower sides is fixedly connected to the other side of the baffle. An elastic block is located inside the rubber block, and a groove is formed on one side of the storage pipe.

[0007] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the front of the discharge port, the two ends of the handle are arc-shaped, and the discharge port is disc-shaped.

[0008] Preferably, the storage pipe is L-shaped with a hollowed-out design, with one end of the storage pipe positioned directly below the inlet and the other end positioned directly behind the outlet.

[0009] Preferably, the two pull rods are arranged in a group on the same side of the baffle, and the pull rods are provided with reinforcing rods.

[0010] Preferably, the slider and the slide rail are slidably connected, with one of the pull rods covering the slide rail.

[0011] Preferably, a rubber block is tightly fitted into a groove on one side of the storage pipe, and the rubber blocks are arranged in pairs on the same side of the baffle.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In this invention, the activated carbon tower body, inlet, connecting pipe, outlet, bolts, handle, storage pipe, and activated carbon body are configured. The user removes the bolts at the outlet and rotates the handle to open it. Since the activated carbon body is granular and accumulates in large quantities inside the perforated storage pipe, a large amount of activated carbon body is discharged from the outlet after it is opened. Through the configured baffle, slide rail, slider, pull rod, and pull block, some activated carbon body remains in the horizontal section of the storage pipe. Because one of the pull rods covers the surface of the slide rail, it is difficult for activated carbon particles to enter the slide rail. The user pulls the pull block outwards, causing the baffle, which is set at the top with an angled surface, to move forward, moving the remaining activated carbon body in the horizontal section forward until it is discharged from the outlet. This allows for more thorough cleaning of the activated carbon body in the storage pipe during replacement, facilitating operation. The slide rail and slider make it easier to move. The reinforcing rod inside the pull rod makes the pull rod more robust and stable. The groove, rubber block, and elastic block allow the baffle to be fixed inside the storage pipe.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A continuous activated carbon tower for wastewater treatment includes an activated carbon tower body 1, an inlet 2, connecting pipes 3, and an outlet 4. The inlet 2 is located at the top of the activated carbon tower body 1, and connecting pipes 3 are located on both sides of the activated carbon tower body 1. The outlet 4 is located at the front of the activated carbon tower body 1, and several bolts 5 are located on one side of the outlet 4. A storage pipe 7 is provided inside the activated carbon tower body 1, and granular activated carbon body 17 is provided inside the storage pipe 7. A baffle 8 with a sloping top is tightly fitted inside the storage pipe 7. A slider 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle 8, and a pull rod 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 8. A circular pull block 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod 11. A slide rail 9 is embedded at the bottom of the storage pipe 7, and a rubber block 15 with protrusions on both the upper and lower sides is fixedly connected to the other side of the baffle 8. An elastic block 16 is provided inside the rubber block 15. A groove 14 is opened on one side of the storage pipe 7. The push-pull device provided in the pipe storing activated carbon makes it easier to clean the residual activated carbon and facilitates the operation of the user.

[0025] A handle 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the discharge port 4. The handle 6 has arc-shaped ends. The discharge port 4 is disc-shaped, which facilitates the rotation and opening of the discharge port 4. The storage pipe 7 is L-shaped and hollow. One end of the storage pipe 7 is located directly below the inlet 2, and the other end is located directly behind the discharge port 4, which facilitates the replacement of the activated carbon body 17. Two pull rods 11 are set together on the same side of the baffle 8. The pull rod 11 has a reinforcing rod 12 inside, which facilitates the movement of the baffle 8. The slider 10 and the slide rail 9 are slidably connected. One of the pull rods 11 covers the top of the slide rail 9, which makes it difficult for the activated carbon body 17 to fall into the slide rail 9. A rubber block 15 is tightly fitted in the groove 14 opened on one side of the storage pipe 7. Two rubber blocks 15 are set together on the same side of the baffle 8, which facilitates the fixation of the baffle 8.

[0026] Workflow: When using the continuous activated carbon tower for wastewater treatment, first place the main body 1 of the activated carbon tower in a suitable position. Since wastewater treatment involves multiple steps, activated carbon can effectively adsorb odors and organic waste gases in the wastewater. When wastewater flows from the connecting pipe 3 into the main body 1 of the activated carbon tower, the activated carbon body 17 in the hollow storage pipe 7 adsorbs odors and waste gases from the wastewater. After long-term use, the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon body 17 decreases, requiring replacement. The user rotates the bolts 5 at the discharge port 4 in the loosening direction until they are removed, leaving the bottom bolt 5 intact. Then, the user holds the handle 6 and rotates the discharge port 4. Since the activated carbon body 17 is granular and accumulates in large quantities inside the storage pipe 7, after the discharge port 4 is opened, a large amount of activated carbon body 17 is discharged from the discharge port 4. Since the storage pipe 7 is L-shaped, some activated carbon body 17 remains in the horizontal part of the storage pipe 7. The user holds the pull block 13 and pulls it outward, causing the pull rod 11 and the baffle 8 to move simultaneously. The reinforcing rod 12 installed inside the pull rod 11... This makes the pull rod 11 more robust and stable. At this time, the rubber block 15 is away from the groove 14 opened in the storage pipe 7. The slider 10 moves in the slide rail 9, driving the remaining activated carbon body 17 in the horizontal section to move forward until it is discharged from the outlet 4. The slider 10 can drive the baffle 8 to be directly removed from the surface of the slide rail 9. At this time, the activated carbon body 17 in the storage pipe 7 can be thoroughly cleaned. After the activated carbon body 17 in the storage pipe 7 is cleaned, the user pushes the pull block 13 in the opposite direction until the rubber block 15 set on one side of the baffle 8 is inserted into the groove 14. The rubber block 15 with protrusions at both ends and the elastic block 16 set inside it are fixed after insertion. At this time, one of the pull rods 11 covers the surface of the slide rail 9, making it difficult for activated carbon particles to enter the slide rail 9. Then the outlet 4 is fixed with bolts 5. Finally, the new activated carbon body 17 is added from the inlet 2 to complete the replacement of the activated carbon body 17. The push-pull device set in the pipe for storing activated carbon makes it easier to clean the remaining activated carbon and facilitates the operation of the user.
