Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microfiltration technology, and more specifically to a novel high-efficiency static microfiltration machine with water-air backwashing. Background Technology

[0002] Microfiltration machines, as a filtration and recovery, solid-liquid separation device, are mainly used for wastewater filtration treatment. Common applications include the first-stage filtration of raw water to remove large particulate solid impurities, suspended algae, etc., as well as the first-stage coarse filtration stage of closed-loop purification.

[0003] Existing common rotary drum microfiltration machines consist of an inlet tank, a precision filter, a rotating disc, a motor drive, and a backwash pump. Their filtration principle involves fixing a microporous filter screen to a rotating drum. Aquaculture water flows into the drum, and as the drum rotates, solid waste is trapped by the filter screen, while water passes through the screen and enters the outside of the drum, achieving solid-liquid separation. When impurities accumulate to a certain level, the rotating drum, combined with the backwash water force, cleans the filter screen. However, this type of microfiltration machine has several problems: First, since the filter screen is fixed to the drum, only the filter screen in the lower part of the drum participates in filtration, while the upper filter screen is not utilized. Furthermore, during backwashing, the unfiltered filter screen is also washed away, wasting energy and water. Second, transmission components such as belts, chains, and gears are prone to wear, elongation, or breakage due to frequent operation and friction. Third, seals are easily worn due to material corrosion and aging, leading to seal failure. Fourth, production requires high processing precision and assembly processes; for example, the cylindricity and concentricity of the drum need strict control, increasing manufacturing costs.

[0004] Existing Chinese invention patent CN118949550A discloses a static microfilter, which consists of a water filtration unit, a water collection unit, and a backwashing device. The water filtration unit includes a water filter tank, a water filter plate, and a guide plate. The water collection unit includes a sludge collection tank and a clean water tank. The backwashing device includes components such as nozzles, nozzle holders, and slide bars. This microfilter improves the backwashing effect to some extent through a specific design; however, because filtration and backwashing occur simultaneously, the high-pressure backwashing water must pass through a section of water before reaching the water filter plate, resulting in a significant reduction in impact force and difficulty in removing stubborn dirt. Moreover, some of the flushed dirt is prone to flow back with the water flow, clogging the water filter plate again. Overall, the backwashing effect is poor, and the microfilter is still prone to clogging. Utility Model Content

[0071] During filtration, the valve and pump status is as follows: the inlet valve 21107 of each microfiltration unit 210 is normally open, the backwash water valve 21214, the backwash air valve 21224, and the drain valve 21304 are normally closed, the gate valve 21111 is at the bottom blocking the lower outlet 21110, and the backwash water pump 21216, the backwash air pump 21226, the drain pump 21302, and the water pump 21402 are in the off state.

[0072] Water flow path: Aquaculture wastewater first flows into the left compartment 100 through the main inlet 105. Then, the water flows through the branch inlet valves 21107 and enters each microfiltration unit 210. Inside the microfiltration unit 210, the water is split into two streams after encountering the left support baffle 21112. These two streams flow to the two filter screens 21504 respectively. The water filtered by the filter screens 21504 converges in the channel between the two filter screens 21504. Then, the converged water flows into the upper part of the right compartment 300 through the upper branch outlet 21109 on the right side plate II 21104. Finally, the water flows out of the microfilter through the main outlet 306.

[0073] 2) The backwashing status is as follows.

[0074] Triggering backwashing conditions: During the operation of the microfilter, as the aquaculture wastewater is filtered, the dirt is intercepted on the outside of the filter screen 21504. As the dirt accumulates, when the amount of dirt intercepted by the filter screen 21504 reaches a certain level and forms a blockage, the water level on the outside of the filter screen 21504 rises to the set position of the upper water level sensor 503. The microcontroller or PLC and its control circuit 502 detect the signal from the upper water level sensor 503 in a certain microfiltration unit 210 that the set water level has been reached, and at this time, backwashing of the microfiltration unit begins.

[0075] Prepare for backwashing: First, close the inlet valve 21107. Move the slide plate of the slide valve 21111 upward to block the upper outlet 21109, while exposing the lower outlet 21110, allowing the filtered water to flow into the lower part of the right compartment 300. Turn on the water pump 21402 to pump the water flowing into the lower part of the right compartment 300 out of the microfilter and to the downstream treatment unit.

[0076] Water washing stage: When the water level in the microfiltration unit 210 drops to the water level set by the lower water level sensor 504, the backwash water valve 21214 is opened and the backwash water pump 21216 is started. The high-pressure water generated by the backwash water pump 21216 is transmitted sequentially through the connecting water pipe 21215, the backwash water valve 21214, and the connecting water pipe 21213 to the backwash water pipe 21211. Finally, it is sprayed out through the water nozzle array 21212 to wash the filter screen 21504. At the same time, the rodless cylinder and its accessories 2123 are started. The backwash water pipe 21211 moves back and forth with the slider of the rodless cylinder and its accessories 2123 to clean the entire filter screen 21504. After 10-30 seconds, the backwash water valve 21214, the backwash water pump 21216, and the rodless cylinder and its accessories 2123 are turned off.

[0077] Wastewater discharge stage: After the water washing is completed, the following operations are performed simultaneously: open the wastewater discharge valve 21304, start the wastewater discharge pump 21302, and the wastewater discharge pump 21302 will pump all the backwash wastewater out of the microfilter through the wastewater discharge port 21108.

[0078] Air washing stage: While discharging sewage, open the backwash air valve 21224 and start the backwash air pump 21226. The high-pressure air generated by the backwash air pump 21226 is transmitted sequentially through the connecting air pipe 21225, the backwash air valve 21224, and the connecting air pipe 21223 to the backwash air pipe 21221. Finally, it is sprayed out through the air nozzle array 21222 to air wash the filter screen 21504. At the same time, the rodless cylinder and its accessories 2123 are started. The backwash air pipe 21221 moves back and forth with the slider of the rodless cylinder and its accessories 2123 to clean the entire filter screen 21504. After 10-30 seconds, the backwash air valve 21224, the backwash air pump 21226, and the rodless cylinder and its accessories 2123 are turned off.

[0079] Resume normal filtration: After air washing is completed, turn off the water pump 21402, the sewage pump 21302, and the sewage valve 21304. At this time, the backwashing of the microfiltration unit is completed. Open the inlet valve 21107 of the microfiltration unit. The slide plate of the slide plate valve 21111 moves downward to block the lower outlet 21110, while exposing the upper outlet 21109. The microfiltration unit 210 enters the normal filtration state.

[0080] Complete the overall backwash: Perform the above backwashing operation on other microfiltration units 210 in sequence until all microfiltration units 210 have been backwashed once, thus completing one complete backwash of the microfiltration machine.

[0081] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
