Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of backwash differential pressure filter technology, and in particular to a low-energy-consumption, anti-clogging backwash differential pressure filter. Background Technology
[0002] Filtration technology, as a core component of fluid handling, plays an irreplaceable role in industrial production, agricultural irrigation, municipal water supply, and wastewater treatment. The main function of a filter is to remove suspended solids, particulate matter, and other impurities from fluids, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the system and meeting fluid quality standards. Especially in modern industrialization, the application of filtration technology is becoming increasingly widespread, for example, in media filtration in the chemical industry, liquid purification in the food industry, and cooling water circulation treatment in the power industry.
[0003] With increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the advancement of sustainable development goals, various high-precision and high-efficiency filtration devices are constantly emerging. However, in certain complex environments, such as when handling fluids containing silt, fibers, or other highly viscous impurities, filters need to operate stably for extended periods while also possessing high durability and low maintenance, placing higher demands on traditional filtration equipment. In recent years, the rapid development of automated and intelligent filtration technologies has led to breakthroughs in filtration equipment performance, energy consumption, and ease of operation; however, the shortcomings of traditional technologies still constrain the industry's development.
[0004] Although there are various types of filters available on the market, the following problems still exist in practical applications:
[0005] Clogging problem: The surface of the filter element is easily covered by impurities, which obstructs fluid flow and affects filtration efficiency and equipment operation.
[0006] High maintenance frequency: Cleaning the filter element usually requires stopping the machine for disassembly, which is costly in terms of manual maintenance and affects the continuous operation of the system.
[0007] Poor backwashing effect: The backwash water flow has a limited coverage area and cannot completely remove impurities, resulting in low cleaning efficiency.
[0008] High energy consumption: Some equipment requires high-power motors to run continuously, resulting in high energy consumption and increased operating costs.
[0009] Insufficient sealing: Some equipment is poorly designed and prone to leakage, which can affect the filtration effect and may lead to secondary pollution.
[0010] Therefore, it is essential to invent a low-energy-consumption, anti-clogging backwash differential pressure filter. Utility Model Content
[0011] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a low-energy-consumption, anti-clogging backwash differential pressure filter, solving the issues of existing backwash differential pressure filters where the filter element surface is easily covered by impurities, requiring frequent maintenance, resulting in poor backwashing performance and high energy consumption. A low-energy-consumption, anti-clogging backwash differential pressure filter includes a filter housing, an inlet, an outlet, a bottom seal, a drain outlet, a filter element, and a cover. The inlet is fixedly installed on the outer side of the lower portion of the filter housing, and the outlet is fixedly installed on the outer side of the upper portion of the filter housing. The bottom seal is fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter housing, and the drain outlet is fixedly installed below the bottom seal. The filter element is fixedly installed inside the filter housing. The cover is fixedly installed at the top of the filter housing.
[0012] The filter element includes a filter element housing, water permeable holes, a filter layer, a support bearing, a support shaft, a coupling structure, and a cleaning spiral brush. The filter element housing is fixedly installed inside the filter element housing, and the water permeable holes are opened inside the filter element housing. The filter layer is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the filter element housing, and the support bearing is fixedly installed on the top of the filter element housing. The support shaft is rotatably installed inside the filter element housing via the support bearing. The coupling structure is fixedly installed on the top of the support bearing, and the cleaning spiral brush is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support shaft and located inside the filter layer.
[0013] The cover includes a cover base plate, a drive motor, a fixing buckle, and a backflushing pipe. The cover base plate is located on top of the filter housing, and the drive motor is fixedly installed on the surface of the cover base plate. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected and fixed to the support shaft through a coupling structure. The fixing buckle is fixedly installed on the outside of the top of the filter housing and fixes the cover base plate on the top of the filter housing. The backflushing pipe is fixedly installed inside the cover base plate.
[0014] The filter element's inner shell is a downward-opening metal cylindrical structure, and its surface has several circular water-permeable holes. The filter layer uses a set of cylindrical filter structures, and the cleaning spiral brush uses a set of spiral metal support structures. Brushes are provided on the outer side of the cleaning spiral brush; the outer brushes contact the inner wall of the filter layer. The cleaning spiral brush can rotate driven by a motor and has the following functions: ① Filtering impurities: Through its internal filter layer, it effectively intercepts solid particles, suspended matter, and other impurities, improving the purity of the fluid; ② Self-cleaning function: Through the rotation of the cleaning spiral brush, impurities adhering to the inner wall of the filter layer can be removed, extending the filter element's service life and reducing maintenance frequency; ③ Spiral coverage design: Cleaning... The spiral brush adopts a spiral structure with evenly distributed spiral lines, which can fully cover the inner wall of the filter layer. During rotation, the brush makes close contact with the inner wall of the filter layer, leaving no dead corners and effectively removing attached impurities. When the spiral cleaning brush rotates, it uses its structural characteristics to push impurities on the surface of the filter layer downwards. This pushing effect facilitates the concentration and guidance of impurities to the bottom area of the filter element shell. Combined with the backwash water flow from the backwash pipe, the impurities can be smoothly discharged from the system through the drain port. ④ Preventing clogging and reducing energy consumption: During the backwashing process, the backwash water flow is sprayed through the backwash pipe, which works in conjunction with the cleaning action of the spiral brush to quickly and thoroughly flush the pushed-down impurities out of the drain port. This design greatly reduces the possibility of impurity accumulation and extends the cleaning cycle of the filter element.
[0015] The sealing base plate inside the cover is made of a circular plate, which seals the top of the filter housing and is sealed with a sealing strip. The backwash pipe is a steel metal pipe with an internal solenoid valve. The drive motor can rotate the support shaft, serving the following functions: ① Sealing function: The circular metal plate of the sealing base plate is installed on the top of the filter housing and is connected to the filter housing with a sealing strip, providing reliable sealing performance to prevent liquid leakage from the top during filtration and ensuring the airtightness and safety of the system operation; ② Support for backwash cleaning function: The backwash pipe is fixedly installed inside the sealing base plate and is used for the delivery and control of backwash water flow during backwashing. The pipe has a built-in solenoid valve, which controls the water flow direction and pressure to achieve efficient backwash cleaning of the filter element, pushing impurities to the drain port.
[0016] Solenoid valves are installed inside the inlet, outlet, drain, and backwash pipe. The solenoid valves inside the inlet and outlet are open during the filtration process, and the solenoid valves inside the drain and backwash pipe are open during the backwash process.
