Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dissolved air flotation (DAF) technology, and in particular to a liquid level regulating device for DAF. Background Technology
[0002] An air flotation tank is a structure that uses the principle of air flotation for water treatment. Its basic principle is to introduce air into the water to generate microbubbles, which cause small suspended particles (with a specific gravity of less than or close to 1) in the water to attach to the bubbles. These particles then rise to the surface with the bubbles, forming scum, thereby separating and removing suspended matter from the water and improving water quality.
[0003] The air flotation device with liquid level regulation function disclosed in CN217323433U includes a flotation cell and a slide. The slide is vertically installed inside one side of the flotation cell, and a slider slides inside the slide. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the slider, and a float is installed at the end of the connecting rod away from the slider. A limiting mechanism for limiting the slider is provided inside the slide. A slag outlet is opened on one side of the flotation cell, and an inlet pipe is connected to the other side of the flotation cell. An outlet pipe is connected to the side of the flotation cell adjacent to the inlet pipe. A slag discharge mechanism is provided inside the flotation cell.
[0004] Although the above-mentioned technical solution can adjust the liquid level and improve the effect of the air flotation device through the above structure, during use, due to the different depths of the suspended matter, the blades on the conveyor belt may not be able to reach the bottom of the suspended matter, and the suspended matter cannot be completely and automatically cleaned, resulting in inconvenience in use. In addition, it cannot scrape off the waste residue attached to the scraper, causing the waste residue on the scraper to fall back into the sewage, which is not convenient to use. Therefore, we propose a liquid level adjustment device for air flotation tanks. Utility Model Content

A chute box 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air flotation tank 1. A water level regulating component is installed inside the chute box 2. An air supply pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air flotation tank 1 near the chute box 2. Multiple one-way valves 13 are fixedly connected through the top of the air supply pipe 12 to facilitate blowing suspended matter at the bottom to the top. A vertical plate 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the air flotation tank 1. A driven wheel 21 and a driving wheel 22 are rotatably connected to one side of the surface of the vertical plate 25. A conveyor belt 23 is sleeved and connected to the outside of the driven wheel 21 and the driving wheel 22. Multiple scrapers 24 are fixedly connected to the surface of the conveyor belt 23 to clean suspended matter on the water surface.
[0024] A U-shaped mounting plate 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the flotation tank 1. The top of the U-shaped mounting plate 17 is provided with a mounting groove 18. A cleaning scraper 19 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 18. Multiple springs 20 are fixedly connected between the mounting groove 18 and the cleaning scraper 19 to facilitate the cleaning of suspended matter on the scraper 24.
[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, a horizontal plate 27 is fixedly connected to the side of the flotation tank 1 away from the U-shaped mounting plate 17. An air pump 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 27. One end of the air supply pipe 12 extends through to the outside of the flotation tank 1 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump 11, which can continuously supply air into the interior of the flotation tank 1. A motor 26 is fixedly connected to the side of the vertical plate 25 away from the driven wheel 21. The output end of the motor 26 extends through to the side of the vertical plate 25 and is fixedly connected to one end of the drive wheel 22, which automates the cleaning process. The water level adjustment component includes a slider 5. The surface of the slider 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the trough box 2. A float ball 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 5. A connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the slider 5. The inner wall of the flotation tank 1 extends through to the bottom of the vertical plate 25. A flexible hose 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the flexible hose 9, and an installation plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the flexible hose 9. One side of the surface of the installation plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the connecting rod 7 to adjust the water level and make cleaning more convenient. A slag discharge port 15 is opened on one side of the surface of the flotation tank 1. A slag discharge slide 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slag discharge port 15. A baffle 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flotation tank 1 near the slag discharge port 15 to facilitate the cleaning of suspended solids. A water inlet pipe 4 with a valve and a second drain pipe 10 are fixedly connected through the surface of the flotation tank 1 away from the U-shaped installation plate 17 to facilitate the replenishment and discharge of water from the flotation tank 1. A limit screw 3 is threadedly connected through the top of the slide box 2. The limit screw 3 is located on the top of the slider 5 to adjust the water level.
[0026] In use, the limiting screw 3 is turned, causing the limiting slider 5 to rise and fall to a predetermined position. Wastewater to be treated is then injected into the flotation tank 1 via the inlet pipe 4. The wastewater causes the float 6 to rise, which in turn causes the slider 5 to rise in the chute box 2 to the bottom of the limiting slider 5. Simultaneously, the slider 5 causes the connecting rod 7 to rise and fall, which in turn causes the mounting plate 8 to rise and fall. The mounting plate 8 causes the telescopic hose 9 to extend and retract, allowing water at a higher level to be discharged from the flotation tank 1 through the telescopic hose 9. After the water level is adjusted, the air pump 11 is started, injecting air into the air supply pipe 12. Finally, through the one-way valve 13, the air generates bubbles in the wastewater, converting hydrophilic particles into hydrophobic particles. Aqueous substances adhere to air bubbles and float to the surface with them, thus suspending the debris on the water's surface. This facilitates blowing the debris onto the surface. Simultaneously, motor 26 is activated, driving the drive wheel 22 to rotate. The drive wheel 22 then drives the driven wheel 21 and the conveyor belt 23 to rotate. The conveyor belt 23 drives the scraper 24 to rotate, carrying the debris in the water into the baffle 14. The scraper 24 pushes the cleaning scraper 19, which in turn pushes the spring 20. As the scraper 24 moves upward, the cleaning scraper 19, rebounding from the spring 20, scrapes the debris on the scraper 24. Finally, the debris is cleared through the slag discharge port 15 and the slag discharge chute 16, making the process more convenient.
