Description

[0002] The sewage sedimentation tank is an important structure in the sewage treatment system, which realizes solid-liquid separation through gravity settling principle. The conventional sedimentation tank is usually provided with an inner and outer double overflow weir structure. Specifically, an inner weir wall and an outer weir wall arranged in a ring shape are arranged inside the containing cavity, an intermediate collecting tank is formed between the two weir walls, and a water outlet of the outer weir wall is communicated with the intermediate tank to form a water outlet channel. During operation, the treated water flows through the sedimentation zone first over the inner weir wall into the intermediate tank, and then is discharged through the water outlet of the outer weir wall.

[0003] Since the inner weir wall bears the flow guiding function of the water flow over the weir top for a long time, the weir top plane and the outer side surface are continuously exposed to the sewage environment containing suspended matter. Under the action of fluid mechanics, colloidal substances and fine particles in the sewage are prone to deposit in the flow boundary layer on the weir top, and the influence of the surface tension of the water-air interface causes the formation of a stubborn dirt layer on the upper end surface of the weir body. More seriously, the outer side surface is continuously infiltrated by the water film containing suspended matter, which forms a composite dirt composed of microbial membrane and organic matter. The accumulation of these pollutants not only reduces the effective flow section of the weir body and affects the uniformity of the effluent, but also may cause secondary pollution.

[0004] The existing solution mainly relies on periodic manual cleaning, but manual climbing and cleaning has safety hazards, high labor intensity, low efficiency, and frequent manual maintenance significantly increases the operation and maintenance cost. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

The inner weir wall 1b is provided with a filter 5 at the top, and the upper end of the filter 5 is arranged in a sawtooth shape. When the water in the sedimentation tank 1 is full, the water flows over the weir from the filter 5, and the filter 5 can filter out the scum in the sedimentation tank 1.
