[0002] Regarding wastewater generated by chemistry laboratories in Chinese universities and high schools, the vast majority of high-concentration wastewater requires recycling and treatment, while low-concentration cleaning wastewater needs to be treated to meet discharge standards. Statistics show that university chemistry labs need to treat approximately several hundred to several thousand tons of wastewater annually, while ordinary high schools need to treat approximately several hundred tons annually. Laboratory wastewater mainly consists of heavy metals, organic wastewater, waste acids, and alkalis. Therefore, the total amount of wastewater from school laboratories is already alarming, and the environmental problems it causes cannot be ignored.

Its complex and variable composition makes it difficult to treat. High-efficiency laboratories, including animal laboratories, also present the challenge of high-temperature wastewater discharge. For laboratory wastewater, the primary treatment process remains biological treatment, as it is crucial to ensure that the temperature of the water entering the biological system remains below the system's tolerance limits to guarantee its safe operation. Therefore, this paper proposes a laboratory wastewater cooling device. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] See Figures 1-4As shown, to solve the problems of the prior art, this application provides a laboratory wastewater cooling device, including a plate heat exchanger 1. A heat exchanger corrugated plate 6 for heat exchange is provided on one side of the plate heat exchanger 1. A first inlet 11 for conveying high-temperature wastewater into the heat exchanger corrugated plate 6 is provided on the top of the other side of the plate heat exchanger 1. A first solenoid valve 13 for controlling the flow rate of the high-temperature wastewater is provided at the output end of the first inlet 11. A second inlet 14 for injecting coolant into the heat exchanger corrugated plate 6 is provided on the other side of the plate heat exchanger 1 near the first inlet 11. An input end of the second inlet 14 is provided with... A second solenoid valve 15 is used to control the flow rate of the coolant; a first outlet 12 is provided on the other side of the plate heat exchanger 1 near the bottom, which can communicate with the flow path of the coolant inside the corrugated plate 6 of the heat exchanger and discharge the coolant after heat exchange; a second outlet 16 is provided on the other side of the plate heat exchanger 1 near the bottom, which can communicate with the flow path of the high-temperature wastewater inside the corrugated plate 6 of the heat exchanger and discharge the high-temperature wastewater after heat exchange; a second external pipe 17 is provided at the output end of the second outlet 16; and a water temperature monitoring device 18 is provided at the top of the second external pipe 17, which can monitor the temperature of the high-temperature wastewater after heat exchange flowing through it in real time.

[0022] When high-temperature wastewater enters the corrugated plate 6 of the heat exchanger through the first inlet 11, it flows along a fixed path inside the plate 6. Simultaneously, coolant is delivered to the inside of the plate 6 through the second inlet 14 and flows along a fixed path. At this time, both the high-temperature wastewater and coolant flow within the plate 6, achieving heat exchange through thermal conduction. This reduces the temperature of the high-temperature wastewater to a predetermined value. To prevent the temperature of the high-temperature wastewater from remaining within the predetermined range, a first solenoid valve 13 is installed at the input end of the first inlet 11 to control the flow rate of the high-temperature wastewater, a second solenoid valve 15 is installed at the input end of the second inlet 14 to control the flow rate of the coolant, and a water temperature monitoring device 18 is installed at the top of the second external pipe 17 at the output end of the second outlet 16 to monitor the temperature of the wastewater after cooling treatment in real time. When the water temperature monitoring device 18 detects that the temperature of the outflowing wastewater exceeds the preset range, it transmits the monitoring data to an external controller. At this time, the external controller activates the first solenoid valve 13, which then closes, slowing the flow rate of the high-temperature wastewater. Simultaneously, the external controller activates the second solenoid valve 15, which opens, increasing the coolant flow rate. This allows the coolant to quickly absorb the heat carried by the high-temperature wastewater through the corrugated plate 6 of the heat exchanger until the discharged wastewater temperature reaches the preset value. Conversely, when the water temperature monitoring device 18 detects that the discharged wastewater temperature is lower than the preset value, the external controller activates the first solenoid valve 13, which gradually opens, increasing the flow rate of the high-temperature wastewater. Simultaneously, the external controller controls the second solenoid valve 15 to gradually close. This slows the flow rate of the coolant entering the corrugated plate 6 of the heat exchanger, reducing the absorption of heat from the wastewater. This ensures that the high-temperature wastewater temperature is consistently controlled within the preset range, guaranteeing a stable discharged wastewater temperature. This ensures that the water temperature does not damage the biochemical system, thus guaranteeing its stable operation.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of the second external pipe 17 is provided with a mounting base 171 for installing a water temperature monitoring device 18; the water temperature monitoring device 18 includes a temperature sensor 181, and the bottom of the temperature sensor 181 is provided with a sensor monitoring end 182 that can extend into the interior of the second external pipe 17 for monitoring water temperature.

[0024] A mounting base 171 is installed on the top of the second external connector 17. Then, the temperature sensor 181 is fixed to the top of the mounting base 171. To ensure that the sensor monitoring end 182 can accurately measure the wastewater temperature, the sensor monitoring end 182, located at the bottom of the temperature sensor 181, extends downwards through the mounting base 171, ensuring that the sensor monitoring end 182 smoothly enters the interior of the second external connector 17, thereby achieving real-time monitoring of the wastewater temperature.

[0025] See Figure 1 As shown, the output end of the first outlet 12 is provided with a first external pipe 121 that can be connected to the laboratory water pipe.

[0026] The laboratory water pipe is connected to the output end of the first outlet 12 via the first external connector 121. This allows the coolant carrying heat to be discharged through the first outlet 12. Simultaneously, the coolant carrying heat is transported to the laboratory's internal water system via the first external connector 121. This enables the laboratory to directly utilize the heat energy contained in the coolant to provide hot water, achieving waste heat recovery. This effectively reduces the energy consumption required for the laboratory to produce hot water using traditional electric heating methods, thus saving energy.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the input end of the first inlet 11 is provided with a first flange 111, and the two ends of the first solenoid valve 13 are provided with second flanges 131. The second flange 131 at one end of the first solenoid valve 13 can be fixedly connected to the first flange 111.

[0028] To ensure a stable connection between the first solenoid valve 13 and the first inlet 11, a first flange 111 is provided at the input end of the first inlet 11. Second flanges 131 are provided at both ends of the first solenoid valve 13, and one end of the second flange 131 is fixed to the first flange 111 using fasteners. This effectively ensures the stability between the first solenoid valve 13 and the first inlet 11.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the input end of the first solenoid valve 13 is equipped with a first delivery pump 132 for delivering high-temperature wastewater to the inside of the heat exchanger corrugated plate 6.

[0030] When the first transfer pump 132 starts, it delivers high-temperature wastewater through the first solenoid valve 13 to the inside of the first inlet 11. Ultimately, the high-temperature wastewater inside the first inlet 11 enters the interior of the heat exchanger corrugated plate 6. This ensures a stable and continuous supply of high-temperature wastewater to the heat exchanger corrugated plate 6, providing a reliable guarantee for the subsequent heat exchange process.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the input end of the second inlet 14 is provided with a third flange 141, and both ends of the second solenoid valve 15 are provided with fourth flanges 151. The fourth flange 151 at one end of the second solenoid valve 15 can be fixedly connected to the third flange 141.

[0032] To ensure a stable connection between the second inlet 14 and the second solenoid valve 15, a third flange 141 is provided at the input end of the second inlet 14. Fourth flanges 151 are provided at both ends of the second solenoid valve 15. The fourth flange 151 at one end of the second solenoid valve 15 is then fixed to the third flange 141 using fasteners. This effectively ensures the stability between the second inlet 14 and the second solenoid valve 15.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the input end of the second solenoid valve 15 is equipped with a second delivery pump 152 capable of delivering coolant to the inside of the heat exchanger corrugated plate 6.

[0034] When the second delivery pump 152 starts, it delivers high-temperature wastewater to the interior of the heat exchanger corrugated plate 6 through the second solenoid valve 15. Ultimately, the high-temperature wastewater inside the first inlet 11 enters the interior of the heat exchanger corrugated plate 6. This ensures a stable and continuous supply of coolant to the interior of the heat exchanger corrugated plate 6.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the input end of the second outlet 16 is provided with a fifth flange 161; both ends of the second external pipe 17 are provided with a sixth flange 172, and the sixth flange 172 provided at one end of the second external pipe 17 can be fixedly connected to the fifth flange 161.

[0036] To ensure a stable connection between the second outlet 16 and the second external connecting pipe 17, a fifth flange 161 is installed at the inlet end of the second outlet 16. Sixth flanges 172 are installed at both ends of the second external connecting pipe 17, and one end of the sixth flange 172 is secured to the fifth flange 161 using fasteners. This effectively ensures the stability between the second outlet 16 and the second external connecting pipe 17.
