[0025] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Example 1:

[0026] This embodiment provides a nitrifying bacteria propagation device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a culture tank 1, a feeding device 2, a film attachment device 3, an ultrasonic vibration device 4, and an online monitoring device 5.

[0027] The bottom of the expansion tank 1 is equipped with an aeration pipe 11 and a discharge port 12. The aeration pipe 11 is connected to an external blower 13 to provide oxygen for the nitrifying bacteria in the expansion tank 1.

[0028] The feeding device 2 includes a feeding pump, a feeding pipe and a storage tank. One end of the feeding pipe is connected to the storage tank and the other end extends into the expansion tank 1. The feeding pump transports the culture medium and nutrients in the storage tank to the expansion tank 1 through the feeding pipe.

[0029] The biofilm attachment device 3 is set in the expansion tank 1, including a biofilm support 31 and multiple biofilm carriers 32 set on the biofilm support 31. The biofilm carriers 32 provide attachment area and growth environment for nitrifying bacteria.

[0030] The ultrasonic vibration device 4 includes an ultrasonic generator 41 and a transducer 42. The transducer 42 is installed in the expansion tank 1, receiving the ultrasonic waves from the ultrasonic generator 41 and converting them into mechanical vibrations. This vibration can disrupt the microbial aggregation on the biofilm surface, preventing the biofilm from becoming too thick, while simultaneously promoting the transfer of nutrients and oxygen and increasing the activity of nitrifying bacteria. The ultrasonic frequency of the ultrasonic generator 41 is set based on the monitoring results of the online monitoring device 5 and the microbial attachment status on the biofilm attachment device 3.

[0031] The online monitoring device 5 is used to monitor key parameters within the reactor in real time, such as temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen concentration, and nitrifying bacteria activity. This device consists of sensors, a data acquisition module, and a display terminal. The sensors are installed inside the reactor to collect data in real time; the data acquisition module processes and stores the data collected by the sensors; and the display terminal displays real-time and historical data, facilitating monitoring and management by operators. Example 2:

[0032] This embodiment provides a biofilm attachment device 3 for the nitrifying bacteria propagation device provided in Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 2-4 It includes a biofilm support 31 and multiple biofilm carriers 32 disposed on the biofilm support 31, wherein the biofilm carriers 32 provide attachment area and growth environment for nitrifying bacteria.

[0034] The biofilm carrier 32 has a cylindrical hole 321 at its center, which is slightly larger than the diameter of the carrier hanging rod 312. Several elastic fins 315 are spaced apart on the carrier hanging rod 312, and each elastic fin 315 forms an acute angle with the top of the carrier hanging rod 312.

[0035] When the film carrier 32 is installed, it is inserted from below the carrier hanging rod 312, and the elastic fin 315 is compressed and deformed to move the film carrier 32 above the elastic fin 315, so that the elastic fin 315 supports the film carrier 32.

[0036] To facilitate the removal of the film carrier 32, the hook 314 is detachably connected to the carrier hanging rod 312. When it is necessary to remove the film carrier 32, the hook is removed, and the film carrier 32 is moved further up the carrier hanging rod 312 until it is removed from the top.
