[0024] The first embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0025] A microfiltration system for recirculating aquaculture includes a support frame 11. A filter barrel 17 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the support frame 11. The circumferential surface of the filter barrel 17 is a microporous screen 16 with numerous tiny perforations, allowing clean water to flow through while removing microorganisms, algae, and other impurities, thus achieving a filtration effect. The microporous screen 16 is located in the middle of the filter barrel 17. The circumferential surfaces at both ends of the filter barrel 17 are non-perforated plates, while the end plates at both ends of the filter barrel 17 are flat plates with perforations in the center. During filtration, the water level is controlled to be below the through hole to prevent water overflow. A limiting plate is provided on the outer circumference of the non-perforated plate at the head end of the filter bucket 17. The limiting plate is a raised thin plate that surrounds the non-perforated plate. The upper two ends of the bracket 11 are respectively provided with a bearing wheel 10 and a limiting wheel 14. The non-perforated plate is located on the bearing wheel 10 and the limiting wheel 14, allowing the filter bucket 17 to rotate in place. A limiting groove is provided in the middle of the limiting wheel 14, and the limiting plate is located inside the limiting groove, which can play a limiting role and prevent the filter bucket 17 from moving back and forth.

[0026] A housing 5 is fixedly mounted on the support 11. A drain outlet 12 is also provided at the lower end of the housing 5. The microporous screen 16 of the filter bucket 17 is located inside the housing 5. Sealing rings are provided at both ends of the housing 5, and a sealing structure is formed with the non-porous plate through the sealing rings. A water inlet pipe 1 is also provided on the upper part of the support 11. The water inlet pipe 1 is coaxially arranged with the filter bucket 17. One end of the water inlet pipe 1 is located outside the filter bucket 17, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 1 extends from the through hole in the middle of the end plate into the filter bucket 17. In use, the water inlet pipe 1 is connected to the fish pond through a water pipe and a water pump, and the water in the fish pond is pumped into the filter bucket 17. Due to gravity and the rotation of the microporous screen 16, the dirt will be filtered on the inner side of the microporous screen 16. The filtered water is discharged from the drain outlet 12 and connected to the water pipe to enter the next treatment process, or discharged into the fish pond.

[0027] The rinsing device includes a rinsing pipe 15 located inside the housing 5, connected by a rinsing water pump and hose. External water is introduced into the rinsing pipe 15 and sprayed out from the nozzles. Several nozzles are located directly above the microporous screen 16 and spray water towards the microporous screen 16. During the filtration process of the microporous screen 16, the screened dirt accumulates on the microporous screen 16. As the microporous screen 16 rotates, the dirt rotates to the top and is washed away by the water sprayed from the nozzles, thus falling into the drain tank 7. At the same time, in order to prevent dirt from falling into the water, wing plates 18 are inclinedly arranged on both sides of the drain tank 7. The two ends of the wing plates 18 extend to a position close to the microporous screen 16, which can catch the washed-away dirt to the greatest extent and flow into the drain tank 7 under the action of gravity.

[0028] A conveyor belt 6 is installed at the bottom of the sewage discharge trough 7. The sewage discharge trough 7 and the conveyor belt 6 extend from the through hole in the middle of the end plate to the outside of the filter barrel 17. Several baffles 8 are also installed on the conveyor belt 6. A sewage discharge motor is installed below the end of the sewage discharge trough 7 located outside the filter barrel 17. The output shaft of the sewage discharge motor is connected to the drive wheel 9. A driven wheel is installed below the end of the sewage discharge trough 7 located inside the filter barrel 17. Both the drive wheel 9 and the driven wheel are coupled to the conveyor belt 6. The sewage discharge motor drives the conveyor belt 6 to rotate, which carries the dirt out of the filter barrel 17. At the same time, the presence of the baffles 8 improves the sewage discharge effect. After the dirt is carried out, it will automatically fall into the sewage bucket located outside and be collected.

[0029] The drive assembly is used to drive the filter barrel 17 to rotate. It includes a rotary motor 13 fixedly mounted on the upper part of the bracket 11. The output shaft of the rotary motor 13 is connected to a first gear. A second gear is provided at one end of the filter barrel 17 near the rotary motor 13. The first gear is meshed with a chain 3 and connected to the second gear through the chain 3. The rotary motor 13 outputs power and drives the filter barrel 17 to rotate through the chain 3.

[0030] A control box 2 is also installed on the upper part of the bracket 11. The control box 2 contains a PLC controller, switch, and power supply, which are electrically connected to the rotary motor 13, the sewage motor, and the flushing water pump for easy control and adjustment of rotation.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first, second, and third" used in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and do not indicate any order. They should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, and can be interpreted as names.

[0032] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functional and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any modifications or variations.
