Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sewage filtration in marine aquaculture, specifically to a sewage discharge system with adjustable air intake. Background Technology
[0002] In marine aquariums and marine aquaculture, there are many high-molecular-weight organic substances, which come from the excrement, leftover food, etc. of decomposed fish. For some hardy fish, they generally do not cause harm; however, for some sensitive fish and mollusks, they can pose a threat.
[0003] Therefore, only protein skimmers can be used to remove these high-molecular-weight organic substances. Protein skimmers utilize the principle that the surface of bubbles in water can adsorb various particulate dirt and soluble organic matter mixed in the water. A large number of bubbles are generated by oxygenation equipment or vortex pumps. The seawater is purified by the protein skimmer. All of these bubbles are concentrated on the water surface to form foam. The foam is collected in a container on the water surface and then discharged.
[0004] Protein skimmers can effectively remove organic particles, proteins, harmful metal ions, etc. from water, resulting in good water purification. Traditional protein skimmers purify water by generating bubbles through oxygenation equipment or vortex pumps, but the air intake of their silencers cannot be effectively controlled, leading to unstable purification effects.
[0005] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

The silencer includes a silencer body, a silencer seat, a valve body, an air regulating valve, a silencer cover, and a knob.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an air inlet pipe is installed at the bottom of the silencer, and a venturi tube is fixedly installed at the other end of the air inlet pipe, with the venturi tube fixed to the reaction chamber.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the inner side of the valve body is provided with an annular air outlet, and the inner side of the air regulating valve is provided with an annular hole with a gradually decreasing radial width.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] The new design adds an air regulating valve and valve body. The air regulating valve has an annular hole with a gradually decreasing radial width. The air regulating valve can rotate 90 degrees within the valve body.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a sewage discharge system with adjustable air intake is provided.
[0027] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-4 According to an embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable air intake sewage discharge system includes a reaction chamber 1, a reaction cup 4 installed inside the reaction chamber 1, a water pump 3 installed below the reaction cup 4, a collection cup 5 installed on the inner side of the top of the reaction chamber 1, and a silencer 7 fitted into the left side fixing frame of the reaction chamber 1. The silencer 7 includes a silencer body 71, a silencer seat 72, a valve body 73, an air regulating valve 74, a silencer cover 75, and a knob 76.
[0028] Protein skimmers work by using the surface tension of air bubbles to adsorb proteins, organic particles, and other substances in the water onto the bubbles. These substances then rise to the surface with the bubbles, forming a foam layer, thus achieving separation. This process requires no added chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly and efficient water treatment method.
[0029] Existing protein separator products' silencer technology makes it impossible to effectively control the air intake. To address this, a valve body, air regulating valve, and knob are added to the existing silencer. An annular air outlet is created on the valve body, and the air regulating valve features an annular hole with a gradually decreasing radial width. Currently, the maximum air intake of commercially available products is 1000-4000 L / H. This specially designed irregular exhaust port has an area of 15±2 mm. 2 This way, the muffler can achieve the best noise reduction effect.
[0030] The air regulating valve can rotate 90 degrees inside the valve body. During the rotation, the shape of the valve body and the air regulating valve orifice meets the following conditions: the area S of the air outlet is directly proportional to the square root of the rotation angle θ. This makes the relationship between the "rotation angle of the regulating knob" and the "air intake volume" almost linear.

[0038] Protein skimmers work by using the surface tension of air bubbles to adsorb proteins, organic particles, and other substances in the water onto the bubbles. These substances then rise to the surface with the bubbles, forming a foam layer, thus achieving separation. This process requires no added chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly and efficient water treatment method.
[0039] Existing protein separator products' silencer technology makes it impossible to effectively control the air intake. To address this, a valve body, air regulating valve, and knob are added to the existing silencer. An annular air outlet is created on the valve body, and the air regulating valve features an annular hole with a gradually decreasing radial width. Currently, the maximum air intake of commercially available products is 1000-4000 L / H. This specially designed irregular exhaust port has an area of 15±2 mm. 2 This way, the muffler can achieve the best noise reduction effect.
[0040] The air regulating valve can rotate 90 degrees inside the valve body. During the rotation, the shape of the valve body and the air regulating valve orifice meets the following conditions: the area S of the air outlet is directly proportional to the square root of the rotation angle θ. This makes the relationship between the "rotation angle of the regulating knob" and the "air intake volume" almost linear.
