TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to sewage treatment equipment technical field, concretely is a tubular aerator with protection structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Aeration is an extremely important process in the aerobic biological treatment system of sewage, and the main purpose of aeration is to provide oxygen required for the metabolism of microorganisms and to play a stirring and mixing role to enable microorganisms to fully contact with dissolved oxygen and organic matter suspended in the water body, thereby promoting the microbial degradation of organic matter. The dissolved gas or volatile substance in the water body can be blown into the atmosphere, and a tubular aerator is usually used. During aeration, the pressure air enters the air guide groove through the air supply pipe from the air distribution branch pipe, forming an annular air chamber between the aeration membrane tube and the support body, making the aeration membrane tube swell, and the air passes through the expandable micropores on the membrane tube to aerate the water body, generating tiny air bubbles, increasing the gas-liquid contact area, and improving the oxygen transfer efficiency. When the air supply is stopped, the membrane tube elastically contracts and clings to the support body, the micropores also close with the elastic contraction and shrinkage, preventing the water body from flowing back into the air groove and preventing sewage from flowing back.
[0003] The prior art such as publication number CN209602219U provides a tubular aerator, which includes a branch pipe and an aerator. The branch pipe is regularly or irregularly connected with several aerators. The aerator includes an aeration membrane, an aeration lining pipe, a clamp, a connecting piece, and a support. The aeration lining pipe is connected with the branch pipe through the connecting piece. The aeration lining pipe is covered with the aeration membrane. The two ends of the aeration membrane are detachably fixed on the aeration lining pipe through the clamp. The aeration lining pipe is provided with several air holes. The aeration membrane is provided with several eyelets. At least one support is connected to the aeration lining pipe. The utility model provides a tubular aerator with simple structure, large aeration area, high oxygen transfer efficiency, no backflow, non-clogging eyelets, and long service life.
[0004] In the sewage treatment environment, microorganisms multiply in large numbers. Some microorganisms will adhere to the surface of the tubular aerator and form a biofilm. Although the biofilm has a certain positive effect on sewage treatment, if the biofilm is too thick, it will affect the air permeability of the aerator. Moreover, some microorganisms may secrete acidic or alkaline substances, which will corrode the material of the aerator, thereby damaging the normal structure and function of the aerator. In view of this, we propose a tubular aerator with a protection structure. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
