TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to city environment with watering cart water field, concretely relates to municipal watering cart water tank built -in disinfection device of water source of recycled water. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasingly tense water resources, water resource conservation becomes an important issue of environmental protection;In the measures of saving water resources, after using the sewage (waste) water under certain conditions, it meets the water quality standard and requirement of certain use after treatment, becomes the recycled water that can be used again, and is also an important measure of saving water resources.
[0003] In recent years, with the vigorous promotion of recycled water, more and more cities begin to use recycled water (even tertiary sewage plant tail water) to replace tap water for watering municipal roads and green land, and air dust removal. Compared with the huge and widely distributed tap water distribution system, the recycled water (even tertiary sewage plant tail water) distribution system is usually quite limited in size, and the water intake points are mainly concentrated around the sewage plant or recycled water plant. Therefore, the watering cart will also bear the task of long-distance transportation of recycled water to ensure the completion of the road and green land watering in the entire city range, and the air dust removal in some key areas. But compared with the traditional tap water source, there are more impurities in the recycled water source, and the pathogenic bacteria species are also relatively complex, and long-distance transportation (shaking, high temperature) may cause rapid decay of residual chlorine in the effluent water, so that the bacteria and viruses in the original inhibition or dormant state are revived. Because a large amount of spray or aerosol is usually formed in the watering and dust removal process of the watering cart, the risk of pathogenic microorganisms in recycled water entering the human body through the air is increased.
[0004] How to disinfect and kill the recycled water transported in the municipal watering cart water tank for a long distance to kill and inhibit bacteria and prevent viruses from reviving is a technical problem to be solved for the municipal watering cart with recycled water as the water source. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the above technical problems of the prior art, the utility model provides a municipal watering cart water tank built-in disinfection device with recycled water as the water source;The utility model adopts coupling type ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and photocatalytic titanium dioxide (TiO2) disinfection technology, which damages the nucleic acid of pathogen in water through the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the lamp bead, causes DNA inactivation, realizes instantaneous disinfection. At the same time, UV excites TiO2 nanotube array to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), further oxidizes organic pollutants and kills microorganisms. In addition, in the circulating disinfection mode, ROS can also generate chlorine dioxide (ClO2) in situ from the residual disinfection by-product chlorite (ClO2⁻) in recycled water, improve the residual chlorine amount, and enhance the continuous disinfection effect of the system.
[0006] In order to solve the technical problem, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:
[0007] The water tank built-in disinfection device of the municipal spraying vehicle with reclaimed water as the water source is arranged on the water tank body, and a relatively closed water storage cavity is formed in the water tank body; the water tank body is characterized in that a solar panel is arranged on the top surface of the water tank body, the disinfection device is arranged at the bottom end of the water storage cavity, and the disinfection device is a relatively closed shell, the shell is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, a titanium plate is arranged in the cavity of the shell, TiO2 nanotube arrays with photocatalytic efficiency are generated in situ on the surface of the titanium plate, the titanium plates are staggered with each other and serve as flow guide plates to divide the interior of the disinfection device into a continuous and rotary water flow corridor, UV lamp strips are arranged in the shell, one UV lamp strip is arranged on each side of each titanium plate, and the UV light beads of the UV lamp strips emit UV light to catalyze the TiO2 nanotube arrays on the titanium plates, the solar panel is connected with the UV light beads through wires, and the UV light beads emit UV light by being supplied with electric energy.
[0008] In this way, the plug flow photocatalytic reactor composed of the titanium plates and the UV-LED lamp strips emits UV light through the light beads on the UV-LED lamp strips to cause radiation damage to various pathogens in the reclaimed water, causes bond rupture, inter-chain cross-linking and formation of photochemical products in nucleic acid molecules, changes the biological activity of DNA, causes the pathogens to be unable to replicate and even die, and enables the system to have instantaneous and efficient disinfection capacity; secondly, the TiO2 nanotube arrays are excited by UV to generate "electron-hole pairs" through photocatalysis, and a large amount of active oxygen species (ROS, such as hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals and singlet oxygen) are generated, and the ROS oxidize residual organic pollutants (such as POPs) in the reclaimed water and kill microorganisms;
[0009] to realize an efficient instant disinfection mode.
[0010] Further, the water outlet pipeline is connected with a spraying pipeline and a circulating pipeline through a three-way valve, a spraying pump is arranged on the spraying pipeline, the circulating pipeline is connected with the water storage cavity, and a circulating pump is arranged on the circulating pipeline, so that the water in the circulating pipeline is returned to the water storage cavity through the circulating pump, and a continuous and circulating disinfection mode is realized. The reclaimed water contains certain chlorine disinfection by-products (such as chlorite ClO2⁻), in the circulating disinfection mode, the ROS generated through photocatalysis can oxidize ClO2⁻ into ClO2, and the residual chlorine content in the reclaimed water is increased, so that the system has the capacity of continuous disinfection.
[0011] In this way, the utility model has two modes of instant disinfection and circulating disinfection, and solves the problems of residual chlorine decay and bacterial and viral revival of the reclaimed water in the long-distance transportation process. It can ensure that the disinfection effect of the reclaimed water is maintained during transportation and use, effectively reduces the risk of air transmission of pathogenic microorganisms, avoids the transmission of waterborne diseases, improves the safety of the reclaimed water, and ensures public health safety.
[0012] Further, the ultraviolet light band is arranged in the shell through the fixing plate. The connecting structure is more reliable, and the ultraviolet light band is conveniently arranged.
[0013] Further, one or more controllers are arranged and connected with the ultraviolet lamp beads, and the on-off light emission of the ultraviolet lamp beads is controlled by one controller; the externally arranged solar panel is connected with the controller through wires. The circuit control structure provided with the controller is more convenient for controlling the on-off light emission of the ultraviolet lamp beads.
[0014] Further, the ultraviolet light band, the controller and the ultraviolet lamp beads are arranged in the waterproof layer. The waterproof and anti-creeping effects are achieved.
[0015] Further, the disinfection device is arranged in a modular structure and is connected with the fixing support at the bottom of the water tank body through a connecting piece. The modular design concept of the utility model gives the device high flexibility and compatibility, allows various components to be independently installed and replaced according to actual requirements, and ensures that the device can be conveniently installed and maintained in different types and specifications of water spraying vehicles.
[0016] Further, a filter screen is arranged at the front end of the flowing water inlet.
[0017] Further, the water flow channel is formed by a water flow baffle arranged in the inner cavity of the shell, and the titanium plate is installed on the water flow baffle. The water flow channel with various structures and shapes is conveniently arranged, and the titanium plate is conveniently installed.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model discloses a municipal water spraying vehicle water tank built-in disinfection device with reclaimed water as a water source and has the following technical characteristics:
[0019] 1. The core innovation of the disinfection device is a self-constructed push-flow photocatalytic reactor composed of titanium plates and UV-LED lamp strips. The titanium plates generate TiO2 nanotube arrays in situ, combined with ultraviolet radiation and photocatalytic reaction, enhancing the degradation ability of organic pollutants in water and the inactivation effect of microorganisms. Compared with traditional TiO2 coating, TiO2 nanotube arrays have better mechanical stability and electron transport efficiency, significantly improving photocatalytic efficiency. Inside the device, the titanium plates are perpendicular to the bottom plate, dividing the device space into a rotary water flow corridor, ensuring that the water flow fully contacts the TiO2 nanotube arrays during disinfection, thereby improving disinfection effectiveness. At the same time, low-power UV-LED lamp strips are arranged along the direction of the water flow, using UV radiation to destroy the DNA of pathogenic microorganisms in water and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) by exciting TiO2 nanotube arrays, further enhancing disinfection capacity. Secondly, during the cycle disinfection process, ROS can also convert chlorite (ClO2⁻) in reclaimed water to chlorine dioxide (ClO2), further increasing the residual chlorine amount and enhancing the continuous disinfection effect.
[0020] 2. The disinfection device uses both instant disinfection and cycle disinfection modes. In instant disinfection mode, reclaimed water is disinfected using ultraviolet light and photocatalytic disinfection by the disinfection device, suitable for fast and efficient disinfection requirements during spraying operations. In cycle disinfection mode, the disinfected water is re-injected into the water tank through the backflow water body, maintaining the continuous disinfection state of the water source. The dual-mode design allows the disinfection device to adapt to different work requirements and water quality changes, improving the adaptability and disinfection efficiency of the device, solving the problem of residual chlorine decay and bacterial virus revival during long-distance transportation of reclaimed water, effectively reducing the risk of airborne transmission of pathogenic microorganisms, avoiding the spread of waterborne diseases, and improving the safety of reclaimed water, ensuring public health safety.
[0021] 3. The disinfection device adopts a detachable and modular design, connected to the water tank bottom fixed support of the watering cart through a simple connection mechanism, ensuring stable installation. This modular design concept gives the device high flexibility and compatibility, allowing individual components to be installed and replaced independently according to actual needs, ensuring that the device can be easily installed and maintained in different types and specifications of watering carts, and can also meet different working environments and disinfection requirements.
[0022] 4. Considering the size difference of the partitions divided by the wave plates of different watering carts and the water quality fluctuations of the reclaimed water source, the disinfection device allows dynamic adjustment of the spacing of the titanium plates and optimal configuration of the number of titanium plates and UV-LED lamp strips, thereby adjusting the disinfection contact time of the water flow, to achieve efficient use of the internal space of the device and optimal disinfection effect.
