Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tap water treatment technology, and in particular to a backwashing device for tap water purification treatment. Background Technology

[0002] During the water purification process, filter media (such as sand filters and activated carbon) intercept suspended solids, colloids, organic matter, and other impurities in the water. Over time, these impurities gradually clog the pores of the filter media, leading to increased filtration resistance and reduced filtration efficiency. Backwashing, where the water flow direction is reversed compared to normal filtration, removes impurities from the surface and interior of the filter media, restoring its porosity and allowing it to regain its effective filtration capacity, thus ensuring the stability of the water purification effect.

[0003] As filtration continues, impurities gradually accumulate inside the filter media, affecting its filtration performance and service life. Currently, common filter media backwashing technologies mainly rely on water or air-water combined backwashing. When backwashing with water alone, the water flow is difficult to penetrate deep into the filter media, resulting in poor cleaning of deep impurities. Although air-water combined backwashing provides some improvement, it cannot completely remove impurities trapped inside the filter media, leading to poor backwashing performance.

[0004] Based on the above situation, it is necessary to design a tap water purification and backwashing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a backwashing device for purifying tap water, which solves the problem in the prior art that the impurities trapped inside the filter media are not thoroughly cleaned during backwashing.

[0006] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0007] A tap water purification backwashing device includes a filter tank filled with a filter media layer, and a long-handled filter head is provided on the filter plate inside the filter tank; it also includes an insert and a driving mechanism. The insert is vertically installed on the filter plate and includes a fixed column installed on the filter plate and an insert rod that is slidably and sealingly connected to the fixed column. The insert is used to insert into the filter media layer to help loosen the filter media and make it easier for impurities attached between the filter media particles to fall off. The driving mechanism is used to drive the insert rod to intermittently insert into the filter media layer.

[0008] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes an air supply pipe connected to an external compressed air source and an electromagnetic pulse valve disposed on the air supply pipe, and a distribution pipe is provided between the fixed column and the air supply pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the insertion rod is provided with an insertion part, and the diameter of the insertion part gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the insertion rod is provided with multiple sets of flow guiding grooves along its axial direction.

[0011] Preferably, there are multiple inserts, and each insert corresponds to a long-handled filter head.

[0012] Preferably, sealing connectors are provided at the connection between the fixed column and the filter plate, and at the connection between the fixed column and the insertion rod.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by inserting the insertion rod into the filter layer, the backwash water flow can act more directly on the middle of the filter layer, loosening the filter layer and making it easier for the impurities attached between the filter media particles to fall off, which helps to disperse and remove impurities mixed deep in the filter layer and improve the rinsing effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-3As shown, the tap water purification backwashing device includes a filter tank 1 filled with a filter media layer. A long-handled filter head 12 is installed on the filter plate 11 inside the filter tank 1. During backwashing, the combined air-water or single-water backwashing water and airflows pass through the long-handled filter head 12 from bottom to top. The long-handled filter head 12 can evenly distribute the backwashing water and air throughout the entire filter layer, causing agitation and cleaning of the filter media. However, the force of the water and airflow weakens when it enters the depths of the filter layer during backwashing, resulting in poor cleaning effect on the deeper parts of the filter layer. Therefore, this solution vertically installs a long-handled filter head 12 on the filter plate 11. Insert 2 includes a fixed post 21 mounted on the filter plate 11 and an insertion rod 22 that is slidably connected to the fixed post 21. The insertion rod 22 is used to insert into the filter media layer to help loosen the filter media, so that the impurities attached between the filter media particles can be more easily removed. When the insertion rod 22 is inserted into the filter media layer, it generates instantaneous pressure change and impact force, thereby effectively loosening the impurities that are tightly attached inside the filter media layer, breaking the adsorption balance between the impurities and the filter media, creating favorable conditions for the discharge of impurities, and also providing a driving mechanism for intermittently inserting the insertion rod 22 into the filter media layer.

[0021] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes an air supply pipe 3 connected to an external compressed air source and an electromagnetic pulse valve 31 mounted on the air supply pipe 3. A distribution pipe 32 connects the fixed column 21 to the air supply pipe 3. During use, one end of the air supply pipe 3 is tightly connected to the external compressed air source through a standard sealing joint to ensure no air leakage at the connection point and to guarantee a stable input of compressed air. The air supply pipe 3 can be reasonably routed around the perimeter of the filter tank 1 and fixed to the wall or a special bracket using pipe clamps or other devices to prevent the pipe from shaking or shifting due to airflow impact during device operation. The model of the electromagnetic pulse valve 31 is selected according to the system pressure, flow rate, and required pulse frequency. For example, a suitable working pressure range of 0.4-0.8 MPa and a pulse frequency of up to 10 Hz can be selected. When the filter tank 1 needs backwashing after a period of use, the operator starts the backwashing program through the operation panel. After receiving the start signal, the PLC control system controls the electromagnetic pulse valve 31 to open according to the preset pulse mode. Compressed air enters the insert rod through the air supply pipe 3 and the air distribution pipe 32, pushing the insert rod to be inserted into the filter media in a pulse. The impact force and instantaneous pressure change generated by the pulse insertion can more effectively loosen the impurities inside the filter media and achieve the removal of impurities from the filter media.

[0022] Reference Figure 3As shown, the upper end of the insertion rod 22 is provided with an insertion part 23. The diameter of the insertion part 23 gradually increases from top to bottom. The insertion rod 22 with the same diameter is slidably connected to the fixed post 21. When the insertion rod with the gradually decreasing diameter is inserted into the filter layer, its tip first contacts the filter layer, reducing the resistance during insertion and reducing the degree of compression and disturbance to the filter layer, thereby reducing the damage to the original structure of the filter layer. As the insertion rod is gradually inserted into the filter layer, its diameter gradually increases, and the area of ​​action on the filter layer also gradually increases, making the force of the insertion rod on the filter layer more uniform. This avoids excessive pressure in local areas, which could lead to severe deformation of the filter layer structure or pore blockage. It helps to maintain the stability of the pore distribution of the filter layer, and thus maintains the filtration performance of the filter layer to a certain extent.

[0023] Reference Figure 3 As shown, furthermore, the outer wall of the insertion rod 22 is provided with multiple sets of flow guiding grooves 24 along its axial direction. When the insertion rod 22 is inserted into the filter layer, the backwash water will flow along the grooves of the insertion rod 22, making the water flow more evenly distributed in the filter media and more effectively acting on the interior of the filter media. This avoids situations where the local water flow is insufficient or excessive. Moreover, when the backwash water flows through the flow guiding grooves 24, it will generate a certain amount of turbulence. The turbulence can break the relatively stable water flow boundary layer around the filter media, allowing the water flow to contact the filter media more fully, further enhancing the flushing and carrying capacity of impurities, and helping impurities inside the filter media to be discharged more quickly.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple inserts 2, and each insert 2 corresponds to a long-handled filter head 12. Since the long-handled filter heads 12 are evenly distributed in the filter tank 1, this one-to-one correspondence can ensure that impurities in each part of the filter media layer can be effectively removed, avoiding blind spots in cleaning, thereby improving the filtration effect and water quality uniformity of the entire filter tank 1. During backwashing, the long-handled filter head 12 will discharge backwash airflow or backwash waterflow, which will enter the filter layer along with the guide groove 24 on the insert rod 22 that is close to it.

[0025] Furthermore, sealing connectors 4 are provided at the connection between the fixed column 21 and the filter plate 11, as well as at the connection between the fixed column 21 and the insertion rod 22. The sealing connectors 4 can be made of materials such as nitrile rubber, which have good resistance to acid and alkali solutions, to ensure stable performance during long-term use and prevent impurities from entering the fixed column 21 and affecting the normal movement of the insertion rod 22.

[0026] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
