Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to air floatation separation technology, in particular to a low-resistance collection pipe for air floatation device and a protein separator. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the air floatation device, the collection pipe is one of the key components, mainly used for collecting sewage bubbles separated by air floatation. The prior art, patent No. CN202321599552.X (Liu Wei, 2023), provides a collection method for foam or single-layer bubble film, and has good adaptability and high-efficiency water purification effect. This technology has been applied to indoor fish tank ornamental fish breeding and outdoor fish pond breeding, and good economic value has been achieved.

[0003] However, in the prior art collection pipe, the thicker the single-layer bubble film is, the more difficult it is to rise, which limits the concentration of sewage that can be discharged and limits the improvement of sewage discharge efficiency. This problem needs to be solved. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a low-resistance collection pipe for air floatation device and a protein separator, which effectively enhances the upward effect of the single-layer bubble film (6) through innovative design, and improves the air floatation separation efficiency.

[0005] The inventor found that the water content of the single-layer bubble film (6) will adhere to the pipe wall to form a vertical liquid film (5) during the study of air floatation bubble film. The vertical liquid film (5) is in contact with the edge of the single-layer bubble film (6), and the molecular attraction between the two forms a force transmission path, causing the single-layer bubble film (6) to be pulled by the gravity of the vertical liquid film (5), thereby increasing the upward resistance of the single-layer bubble film (6), making it difficult to rise. The higher the height of the vertical liquid film (5), the greater its own gravity, and the downward pulling force increases significantly, which easily leads to the explosion of the single-layer bubble film (6) and makes it difficult to rise smoothly to the top of the collection pipe. Moreover, the higher the viscosity of the liquid, the stronger this effect, further increasing the difficulty of the bubble film rising. Note that this is the first time the inventor has discovered it, and the prior art and literature have not disclosed it. The virtual person of the person skilled in the art, who relies on existing knowledge, does not know this fact. The scientific effect of "the vertical liquid film (5) causing the single-layer bubble film (6) to rise" described in this paragraph exceeds the cognition of the virtual person of the person skilled in the art.

[0006] Technical solution:

[0007] The low-resistance collecting pipe for air floatation device has the advantages that it comprises a lower pipe cavity (1), a necked opening (2) and an upper pipe cavity (3); the necked opening (2) is connected with the upper pipe cavity (3) at the upper end and connected with the lower pipe cavity (1) at the lower end; the inner diameter of the narrowest part of the necked opening (2) is R0, the height is H, the inner diameter of the connecting part of the upper pipe cavity (3) and the necked opening (2) is R3, the inner diameter of the connecting part of the lower pipe cavity (1) and the necked opening (2) is R1, H < R1, H < R3, H < R0, R0 < R1 and R0 < R3.

[0008] Further, the lower end of the necked opening (2) is a lower-large-and-upper-small horn opening, which can guide the airflow and liquid into the necked opening while reducing the turbulence or air resistance caused by the sudden change.

[0009] Further, the upper end of the necked opening (2) is equal to the bottom of the pipe cavity connected above the necked opening (2), and the interface tension increasing area (4) is formed by the angle of the container boundary.

[0010] Further, the upper end of the necked opening (2) is higher than the bottom of the pipe cavity connected above the necked opening (2), and the interface tension increasing area (4) is formed by the angle of the container boundary.

[0011] Further, the material of the low-resistance collecting pipe is PC or PVC plastic.

[0012] Further, the upper pipe cavity (3) is smaller than the lower pipe cavity (1).

[0013] Further, the upper pipe cavity (3) is equal to the lower pipe cavity (1).

[0014] Further, the upper pipe cavity (3) is larger than the lower pipe cavity (1).

[0015] Further, H = 0.

[0016] Further, H is between 0.5 mm and 6 mm.

[0017] Further, the low-resistance collecting pipe is a circular pipe, the lower pipe cavity (1) and the upper pipe cavity (3) are cylindrical pipe cavities, and R1 = R3.

[0018] Further, R1 = R3, R1 is between 8 mm and 12 mm, R0 is between 6 mm and 7 mm, and H = 1 mm.

[0019] Further, the low-resistance collecting pipe is composed of multiple sub-structures.

[0020] Further, the low-resistance collecting pipe is integrally formed.

[0021] The protein separator has a collecting pipe, and the low-resistance collecting pipe for air floatation device is used.

[0022] Principle 0: H < R0, which can make the liquid in the neck appear pie-shaped instead of column-shaped, facilitate the re-expansion of the liquid into a liquid film, facilitate the upward movement, and prevent the neck from causing a substantial increase in air resistance.

[0023] Principle 1: The narrow tube effect increases the upward air flow speed, increases the upward thrust, and cuts off the continuity of the liquid film in the vertical direction; the narrow tube effect at the neck increases the air flow speed, increases the upward friction between the air flow and the vertical liquid film (5), and increases the upward thrust received by the liquid film, which can reduce or cut off the transmission of the downward gravity of the vertical liquid film, reduce the downward pulling force received by the horizontal single-layer bubble film (6), reduce the resistance received by the single-layer bubble film (6), and improve the efficiency of the sewage discharge of the collection tube.

[0024] Principle 2: The air flow of the narrow tube effect can also generate shear force, which can cut off the vertical liquid film (5) or reduce the connection strength of the vertical liquid film (5) above and below the neck, reduce the downward pulling force received by the single-layer bubble film (6), and improve the efficiency of the sewage bubble discharge of the collection tube.

[0025] Principle 3: The interface tension increasing area can make it difficult for the liquid to flow downward, and the corner structure can increase the interface tension between the liquid film and the pipe wall, thereby resisting the downward gravity of the vertical liquid film (5); the liquid flowing downward from the vertical liquid film (5) adhering to the inner wall of the upper tube cavity (3) is stored in the interface tension increasing area, and is pushed upward by the air flow after the subsequent single-layer liquid film (6) or bubble is reabsorbed.

[0026] Principle 4: By using the neck (2) upper end higher than or equal to the bottom of the tube cavity connected above the neck (2), the structure of the container wall can be used to support the liquid upward, to weaken the gravity superposition and transmission of the vertical liquid film, and to reduce the resistance received by the single-layer bubble film (6).

[0027] Beneficial effects

[0028] The gravity superposition of the vertical liquid film is cut off, the resistance of the single-layer bubble film (6) rising is reduced, and the sewage discharge efficiency is improved.

[0029] A new technical idea for improving the efficiency of air floatation sewage discharge is provided.

[0030] The structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0031] The present application breaks through the traditional thinking and does not use the method of reducing the whole pipe diameter to increase the thrust, which will obviously increase the air resistance; instead, the narrow tube effect is ingeniously used to greatly improve the upward efficiency of the single-layer bubble film (6) without increasing the air resistance or increasing the air resistance, only a neck is made, which increases the working efficiency of the air floatation equipment, and the design is ingenious and amazing.

[0032] Just do a necking, cleverly use the narrow tube effect and interfacial tension, to achieve the purpose, a simple structure is reasonable to use two special physical effects, improved prior art, ingenious ideas, unique in the world.

[0033] In summary, the present application simple structure, low cost, design ingenious, improve the efficiency, provide new ideas. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
