[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are involved in the protection scope of the utility model.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Periphyton, i.e. natural biofilm, has been proved to have good nitrogen and phosphorus retention capacity and is widely distributed in shallow water ecological systems on the surfaces of stones, gravels and emergent plants, which is very important for water purification. However, the periphyton biomass per unit area of the natural carrier is often not very sufficient, which greatly reduces the retention effect of periphyton on water body nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and cannot fully play its important role in water purification. Figs. 1-4 The embodiment provides an adjustable biofilm hanging device for improving the nitrogen and phosphorus retention potential of small and micro water bodies, which comprises a biological filler filter frame 1 and a fixed plate 2 arranged at the bottom of the biological filler filter frame 1.

[0027] Refer to Figs. 1-4, the periphyton biomass per unit area of the natural carrier is often not very sufficient, which greatly reduces the retention effect of the periphyton on the nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the water body, and cannot fully play its important role in water quality purification. In order to design a low-energy biological treatment device with small volume and easy to move, the following settings are made. Two support frames 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the biological filler filter frame 1. The angle of the support frame 3 can be manually adjusted according to the water level. The length of the biological filler filter frame 1 and the support frame 3 is 80 cm and 40 cm respectively. The cross-sectional size of the biological filler filter frame 1 is 5 cm x 5 cm. The height of the main filter frame is 50 cm, and the height of the bottom support part is 5 cm. The skeleton material of the biological filler filter frame 1, the fixed plate 2 and the support frame 3 includes but is not limited to thermosetting plastic material. Eight groups of suspended ball fillers 4 are arranged in the biological filler filter frame 1. The diameter of the suspended ball filler 4 is 5 cm. The material of the suspended ball filler 4 includes but is not limited to polypropylene plastic material. A screw plug opening 5 is opened at the top of the biological filler filter frame 1 to freely detach the eight groups of suspended ball fillers 4. The diameter of the screw plug opening 5 is 1.5 cm. A screw plug is arranged in the screw plug opening 5. The material of the screw plug includes but is not limited to polyethylene plastic material. When the water flow flows, the suspended ball filler 4 will rotate freely. Since the surface of the suspended ball filler 4 is designed to be hollow, it will shear the water flow and form a small vortex, promoting water aeration and aeration. In this process, the periphyton in the water also gradually grows on the surface of the suspended ball filler 4. Since the suspended ball filler 4 has a large surface area, the periphyton biomass attached is large, and the periphyton membrane formed absorbs the pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the water, and realizes the retention of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients through the metabolism. In addition, the adsorption of the periphyton membrane also promotes the interception and purification of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in the water. In this process, the periphyton continuously reproduces, the biomass continuously increases and updates, forming a continuous absorption, adsorption and oxidation decomposition of nitrogen and phosphorus retention process, thereby effectively reducing the transmission of pollution load such as nitrogen and phosphorus to the downstream water body, and achieving the purpose of improving the nitrogen and phosphorus retention capacity of the surface water body such as stream, ditch, pond, small lake and the like.

[0028] Referring to Figs. 1-3An adjusting assembly is arranged on the top of the fixed plate 2 to adjust the angle of the support frame 3 and is fixed, the adjusting assembly comprises three fixing nails 2-1, a rotating shaft 2-2 and four embedded baffles 2-3 arranged on the top of the fixed plate 2 from left to right, the length of the fixed plate 2 is 70 cm, the width is 10 cm and the thickness is 5 cm, the length of the embedded baffle 2-3 is 10 cm, the width is 6 cm and the thickness is 2 cm, and the embedded baffle 2-3 is provided with an embedded groove with a cross section of 9 cm*4 cm and a depth of 2 cm in front.

[0029] According to the above embodiment, the device provides abundant attachment carriers for periphyton, improves the biomass of periphyton membrane in rivers and ditches, thereby enhancing the absorption and conversion capacity of nitrogen and phosphorus and improving the water purification effect, the suspended ball filler 4 under the water flow enhances the water disturbance capacity and improves the water aeration and oxygen dissolution level, thereby improving the environmental ecological function of nitrogen and phosphorus retention in river, pond and ditch water systems.

[0030] Embodiment 2

[0031] Based on the embodiment 1, referring to Figs. 2-4 , for small and micro water bodies with less suspended matter, the diameter size of the suspended ball is 5 cm as the filler of the biological filler filter frame 1, the periphyton membrane is selected as the main ecological environmental management material, the biomass and the biological membrane area of the periphyton in the small and micro water bodies are increased, and the environmental ecological function of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient salt retention in the small and micro water bodies is enhanced, and for small and micro water bodies with more suspended matter, the diameter size of the suspended ball filler 4 can be changed to 4 cm or 3 cm, the spacing between the suspended ball fillers 4 is increased, and the small impurities can pass through the filter frame freely.

[0032] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
