Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically, to a sedimentation tank for wastewater treatment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wastewater treatment, sedimentation tanks, as one of the core treatment units, mainly remove suspended solids, colloidal impurities, and some dissolved pollutants from wastewater through gravity settling. They have advantages such as simple structure, convenient operation, and low energy consumption. Traditional sedimentation tanks can be divided into three types according to the water flow direction: horizontal flow, vertical flow, and radial flow. Their design is mostly based on the ideal sedimentation theory, which increases the tank volume to extend the retention time and improve removal efficiency.

[0003] Patent CN221836805U discloses a sedimentation tank for wastewater treatment, including a tank body and a reagent tank. A partition is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the reagent tank. A rotating pipe is movably connected between the middle of the partition and the middle of the top of the reagent tank via a bearing. Spray nozzles are fixedly connected to the upper ends of both sides of the rotating pipe. A second circular gear is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating pipe. A delivery pump is fixedly installed at the left end of the bottom of the partition via a pipe. A rotary joint is fixedly installed between the output end of the delivery pump and the bottom of the rotating pipe via a pipe. This invention, through the arrangement of the reagent tank and partition, facilitates the storage of reagents required for wastewater treatment. The arrangement of the delivery pump, rotary joint, rotating pipe, and spray nozzles achieves automatic reagent dosing in wastewater. The dual-shaft motor, first bevel gear, first circular gear, second circular gear, rotating pipe, and spray nozzles effectively improve the uniformity of reagent dosing.

[0004] Although the device has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: Although the sedimentation tank effectively improves the uniformity of reagent dosing, the flow rate of sewage entering the sedimentation tank cannot be controlled. At high flow rates, the water velocity increases, the particle settling time is insufficient, and fine suspended solids are easily carried away by the water flow, resulting in excessive suspended solids in the effluent and reducing the overall treatment effect.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A sedimentation tank for wastewater treatment includes a sedimentation tank body 1, a support frame 18 fixedly connected inside the sedimentation tank body 1, an intercepting net 2 on the outer surface of the support frame 18, a plurality of equidistantly distributed through holes 3 on the outer surface of the intercepting net 2, two connecting frames 21 on the outer surface of the intercepting net 2, and a roller 4 rotatably connected between the two connecting frames 21. A scraper 12 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom of the sedimentation tank body 1. The tank also includes:

[0031] An adjustable cleaning component, located on the outer surface of the interception net 2, is used to drive the roller 4 to unclog its corresponding multiple through holes 3;

[0032] The scraping component is located on the outer surface of the sedimentation tank body 1. It is used to drive the scraper 12 to scrape the sediment at the bottom of the sedimentation tank body 1. The interception net 2 performs preliminary screening of suspended solids through the through holes 3, and larger impurities are trapped on the surface of the interception net 2.

[0033] Furthermore, the adjustable cleaning component includes unblocking columns 5, connecting columns 6, and micro cylinders 16. Two symmetrically distributed micro cylinders 16 are fixedly installed inside the support frame 18. The output ends of the two micro cylinders 16 are fixedly connected to the interception net 2. The center of the interception net 2 is rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the sedimentation tank body 1. Two symmetrically distributed connecting columns 6 are fixedly connected between the two connecting frames 21. The roller 4 is located between the two connecting columns 6. Multiple annularly distributed unblocking columns 5 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the roller 4 and the two connecting columns 6. The multiple unblocking columns 5 are in active contact with multiple through holes 3. When the sewage inflow is constant, the tilt angle of the interception net 2 can be used to control the contact area between the sewage and the through holes 3, thereby controlling the flow rate of sewage into the sedimentation tank. The design of the unblocking columns 5 on the surface of the roller 4 and the connecting column 6 effectively destroys the deposits on the hole walls.

[0034] Furthermore, the adjustable cleaning assembly also includes a threaded rod 7 and a second motor 17. The threaded rod 7 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting frame 21, and the second motor 17 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting frame 21. The output end of the second motor 17 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 7. The threaded rod 7 is threadedly engaged with the adjacent connecting frame 21. The second motor 17 drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate, causing the connecting frame 21 to move radially along the interception net 2, so that the roller 4 fully covers the through hole 3.

[0035] Furthermore, mounting blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both connecting frames 21. Second rollers 15 perpendicular to the outer surfaces of both mounting blocks 13 are rotatably connected to the outer surfaces of both mounting blocks 13. Two first rollers 14 parallel to the outer surfaces of both mounting blocks 13 are rotatably connected to the outer surfaces of both mounting blocks 13. The second rollers 15 are located between the two first rollers 14. The two first rollers 14 and the second rollers 15 are in rolling connection with the outer surface of the interception net 2. The first rollers 14 and the second rollers 15 on the mounting blocks 13 form an orthogonal constraint to ensure that the connecting frame 21 moves smoothly on the curved net surface and to prevent jamming.

[0036] Furthermore, the scraping assembly includes a first motor 8, rectangular grooves 11, a traction rope 19, and a take-up reel 20. Rectangular grooves 11 are provided on both inner walls of the sedimentation tank body 1. The scraper 12 is slidably connected to the two rectangular grooves 11. The traction rope 19 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the scraper 12. The take-up reel 20 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the sedimentation tank body 1. The traction rope 19 passes through the sedimentation tank body 1 and is wound around the take-up reel 20. A protective shell is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sedimentation tank body 1. The take-up reel 20 is located inside the protective shell. The first motor 8 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the protective shell. The output end of the first motor 8 is fixedly connected to the take-up reel 20. The first motor 8 drives the take-up reel 20 to rotate. The traction rope 19 pulls the scraper 12 to reciprocate along the rectangular grooves 11. The scraper 12 adopts a variable cross-section wedge design. The sharp angle at the front end cuts into the sediment layer, and the inclined surface at the rear end reduces adhesion.

[0037] Furthermore, an inlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sedimentation tank body 1. The inlet pipe 9 is hollow and located inside the sedimentation tank body 1, and sewage enters the sedimentation tank body 1 through the inlet pipe 9.

[0038] Furthermore, a PLC controller 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the sedimentation tank body 1. The first motor 8, the second motor 17, and the two micro cylinders 16 are all controlled by the PLC controller 10. The angle of the interception net 2 is adjusted by the PLC controller 10 through the control of the micro cylinders 16, and the traction speed is controlled by the control of the first motor 8 by the PLC controller 10.

[0039] Working principle: When the wastewater treatment sedimentation tank needs to be used, wastewater enters the sedimentation tank body 1 through the inlet pipe 9. The intercepting net 2 performs preliminary screening of suspended solids through the through holes 3, and larger impurities are trapped on the surface of the intercepting net 2. Two micro cylinders 16 extend and retract synchronously, pushing the intercepting net 2 to swing around the central axis. The angle of the intercepting net 2 is adjusted by the PLC controller 10 through the control of the micro cylinders 16. When the amount of wastewater entering is constant, the tilt angle of the intercepting net 2 can be used to control the contact area between the wastewater and the through holes 3, thereby controlling the flow rate of wastewater entering the sedimentation tank. When it is necessary to unclog the intercepting net 2, the second motor 17 is started. The second motor 17 drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate, causing the connecting frame 21 to move radially along the intercepting net 2. The roller 4 fully covers the through hole 3. The design of the roller 4 and the unblocking column 5 on the surface of the connecting column 6 effectively destroys the deposits on the hole wall. The first roller 14 and the second roller 15 on the mounting block 13 form an orthogonal constraint to ensure that the connecting frame 21 moves smoothly on the curved mesh surface and prevents jamming. When it is necessary to clean the bottom wall of the sedimentation tank body 1, the first motor 8 is started. The first motor 8 drives the winding wheel 20 to rotate and pulls the scraper 12 along the rectangular groove 11 through the traction rope 19. The scraper 12 adopts a variable cross-section wedge design. The sharp angle at the front end cuts into the sediment layer, and the inclined surface at the rear end reduces adhesion. The traction speed is controlled by the PLC controller 10 to control the first motor 8, so as to match the removal needs of sludge with different viscosity.
