Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tap water treatment technology, specifically a hydraulic self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation reactor. Background Technology

[0002] Flocculation refers to the process by which suspended particles in water or liquid aggregate and form flocs, thereby accelerating particle settling and achieving solid-liquid separation. This phenomenon or operation is called flocculation. Flocculation is a crucial step in water treatment processes, used to remove suspended and colloidal impurities from water. Implementing flocculation requires both chemical and hydraulic conditions: the chemical condition involves adding flocculants to the water to destabilize the impurities, while the hydraulic condition involves constraining the water flow to create a suitable velocity distribution, promoting the collision, aggregation, and adsorption of impurity particles.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent CN213475494U discloses a multi-purpose self-rotating micro-vortex flocculant for water treatment, including a flocculant structure. The flocculant structure includes several coaxially arranged self-rotating micro-vortex flocculant rings. The inner sides of the several self-rotating micro-vortex flocculant rings are connected by rotating blades arranged in a ring array. The rotating blades extend along the axial direction of the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculant rings. Compared with traditional reactors such as grids, bars, and flocculant balls, this invention can utilize the vertical power of water flow to significantly increase the proportion of micro-vortices and significantly increase the number of collisions of particles in the water. It has strong adaptability to the quality and quantity of raw water, and the flocculation effect is still relatively good under insufficient hydraulic conditions. It can effectively prevent the generation of silt and algae, operate stably, and can achieve long-term effective water treatment.

[0004] As can be seen from the above patents, when the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculator is working, the vortex direction of the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation ring is consistent, which easily leads to the problems of a single vortex direction and blind spots; therefore, this utility model provides a hydraulic self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation reactor to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a hydraulically self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation reactor.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A hydraulically rotating micro-vortex flocculation reactor includes several rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings and a frame. The rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings include a ring center, a first blade, an inner ring, a second blade, and an outer ring distributed sequentially in the radial direction. The frame includes several layers of fixed frames and several vertical supports. The four corners of the fixed frames are fixedly connected to the vertical supports. Each layer of the fixed frames includes several horizontal supports and longitudinal supports. Adjacent fixed frames are formed by connecting the vertical supports with the horizontal supports or by connecting the vertical supports with the longitudinal supports, and are arranged alternately from top to bottom. In the plane of each adjacent layer of fixed frames, the longitudinal supports pass through and are movably connected to several of the ring centers, and the two ends of the longitudinal supports are connected to the horizontal supports; or the horizontal supports pass through and are movably connected to several of the ring centers, and the two ends of the horizontal supports are connected to the longitudinal supports, and are arranged alternately from top to bottom.

[0008] Preferably, within each layer of the fixed frame, a plurality of self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings are evenly distributed at equal intervals, and the plurality of self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings are coaxial and parallel to each other.

[0009] Preferably, the planar directions of the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings within adjacent fixed frames are perpendicular to each other.

[0010] Preferably, the center, inner ring, and outer ring of the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation ring are arranged at the same center. The first blade is a straight blade with equal angles and equal spacing arranged at the same center, preferably three blades. The second blade is a hexagonal star-shaped blade arranged at the same center. The center, first blade, inner ring, second blade, and outer ring are arranged symmetrically in the radial direction with the same center as the center and connected together in sequence.

[0011] Preferably, the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings are arranged in an array in the transverse, longitudinal and vertical directions, and the number of self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings in each direction is not less than 4.

[0012] Preferably, the surfaces of the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation ring and the frame are coated with anti-corrosion and waterproof coatings.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] A series of mutually perpendicular rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings are arranged from top to bottom. Utilizing the vertical force of the water flow from top to bottom, at least two vortex directions are generated within the rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings.

This application solves the problems of single vortex direction and blind spots. Simultaneously, rotation and vortex formation significantly improve flocculation efficiency, shorten reaction time, and reduce energy consumption. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a hydraulically rotating micro-vortex flocculation reactor, comprising several rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings 1 and a frame 2. The rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings 1 achieve micro-vortex effect through hydraulic rotation, thereby accelerating the flocculation reaction and process. The frame 2 is used to connect and fix the rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings 1 to form an array structure.

[0028] The self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation ring 1 includes a concentric ring 11, a first blade 12, an inner ring 13, a second blade 14, and an outer ring 15 arranged and connected in sequence along the radial direction. The first blade 12 is a straight blade with equal included angles and equal spacing, preferably three blades, and the second blade 14 is a hexagonal star-shaped blade. The ring 11, the first blade 12, the inner ring 13, the second blade 14, and the outer ring 15 are symmetrically arranged in the radial direction with the concentric ring as the center.

[0029] The frame 2 includes several layers of fixed frames 21, several vertical supports 22, horizontal supports 23, and longitudinal supports 24. The fixed frames 21 are formed by connecting several horizontal supports 23 and several longitudinal supports 24, and the four corners of the fixed frames 21 are fixed to several vertical supports 22 to form the frame 2. Taking an embodiment of this application as an example, the frame 2 includes four layers of fixed frames 21. The fixed frames 21 of the first and third layers are movably connected by several longitudinal supports 24 and pass through several annular centers 11. The two ends of the longitudinal supports 24 are connected to the middle of two horizontal supports 23, and the two ends of the two horizontal supports 23 are connected to the vertical supports 22. The fixed frames 21 of the second and fourth layers are movably connected by several horizontal supports 23 and pass through several annular centers 11. The two ends of the horizontal supports 23 are connected to the middle of two longitudinal supports 24, and the two ends of the two longitudinal supports 24 are connected to the vertical supports 22.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, several self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings 1 are coaxially and evenly distributed in parallel within each fixed frame 21; the planar directions of the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings 1 within adjacent fixed frames 21 are perpendicular to each other. By utilizing the vertical force of the water flow from top to bottom, at least two vortex directions of the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings are generated. The water flow generates tiny vortices, increasing the probability of particle collision and accelerating floc formation.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings 1 are arranged in an array in the transverse, longitudinal and vertical directions, and the number of self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation rings 1 in each direction is not less than 4.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the surfaces of both the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation ring 1 and the frame 2 are coated with an anti-corrosion and waterproof coating to extend their service life.

[0033] The working process for this application is as follows:

[0034] During operation, the hydraulic self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation reactor is first installed in the vertical direction of the water flow. As the water flows from top to bottom through the reactor, the self-rotating micro-vortex flocculation ring 1 of the first-layer fixed frame 21 automatically rotates under the action of the water flow. The water is cut, collided, and bounced as it passes through, causing drastic changes in velocity. Large vortices become smaller vortices, and these smaller vortices eventually become high-intensity, high-frequency micro-vortices, forming an array-like vortex street. The centrifugal inertial effect is amplified many times, significantly increasing the number of collisions between flocculants in the water and improving the collision frequency of the flocculants, ensuring sufficient contact between the flocculant and the particles in the water. When passing through the second layer, vortices are generated in the direction perpendicular to the first layer's vortex direction, continuing to generate high-intensity, high-frequency micro-vortices in the first layer, also forming an array-like vortex street, promoting a more uniform and efficient flocculation process. This process continues until the bottom fixed frame 21 completes the flocculation process.

[0035] Of course, the embodiments described in this specific implementation are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
