Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a sand filter for water treatment. Background Technology
[0002] The purpose of wastewater treatment is to separate pollutants from wastewater using certain methods, or to decompose them into harmless and stable substances, thereby purifying the wastewater. The basic methods of wastewater treatment are physical, chemical, or biological methods, or a combination of these methods, to remove harmful substances from wastewater. The degree of treatment is determined according to the water quality and the destination of the treated effluent. In the wastewater treatment process, sand filters are often used to clarify and filter sand and gravel from the wastewater. Sand filters, as a water filtration device, can remove suspended solids from water to achieve the purpose of cleaning wastewater, and are widely used in wastewater treatment due to their good filtration effect. However, in actual use, existing sand filters are equipped with backwashing mechanisms to clean the filter plates in order to ensure filtration efficiency. During backwashing, the wastewater treatment process needs to be stopped, and the filter plates need to be replaced after long-term use, which also requires stopping the wastewater treatment process, reducing wastewater treatment efficiency.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a sand filter for water treatment includes an inlet pipe 1 and an outlet pipe 2, with a first connecting pipe 3 and a second connecting pipe 4 connecting the inlet pipe 1 and the outlet pipe 2.
[0022] A first valve 5 is installed on the water outlet pipe 2, and a second valve 6 and a third valve 7 are installed on the first connecting pipe 3. A first sand filter mechanism 8 is connected to the first connecting pipe 3, and the first sand filter mechanism 8 is located between the second valve 6 and the third valve 7.
[0023] The second connecting pipe 4 is equipped with a fourth valve 9 and a fifth valve 10. The second connecting pipe 4 is connected to a second sand filter mechanism 11, which is located between the fourth valve 9 and the fifth valve 10.
[0024] A backwashing mechanism 12 is provided between the water outlet pipe 2 and the first sand filter mechanism 8 and the second sand filter mechanism 11. The backwashing mechanism 12 includes a Y-shaped water pipe 13 connected to the water outlet pipe 2. A sixth valve 14, a seventh valve 15 and an eighth valve 16 are provided on the Y-shaped water pipe 13.

A first drain pipe 25 is connected to the bottom of the first housing 17. A ninth valve 26 is installed on the first drain pipe 25. The bottom of the first housing 17 is connected to the end of the Y-shaped water pipe 13 near the seventh valve 15.
[0026] The second sand filter mechanism 11 includes a second housing 20 connected to the second connecting pipe 4. A second filter plate 21 is inserted into the second housing 20.
