[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment is achieved through the following technical solution: it includes an outer cylinder 1 and a frame 2. The outer cylinder 1 is detachably installed on top of the frame 2. After installation, the outer cylinder 1 and the frame 2 are in sealed contact. A filter assembly 5 is also installed on top of the frame 2. The filter assembly 5 is located inside the outer cylinder 1. The filter assembly 5 includes a filtrate manifold 52 and a plurality of filters 51. The filters 51 are arranged in a circumferential array around the filtrate manifold 52. The filters 51 are connected to the filtrate manifold 52 through a manifold branch pipe 521. The filtrate manifold 52 is sealed to the filtrate outlet 22 on the frame 2 through a connecting flange 522.
[0024] The frame 2 is also equipped with a discharge backflushing pipe 21, which is connected below the filtrate outlet 22. The filtrate manifold 52 is connected to the discharge backflushing pipe 21 through the filtrate outlet 22. The discharge backflushing pipe 21 has a discharge port and a backflushing port. A discharge valve 8 is installed on the discharge port, and a backflushing valve 7 is installed on the backflushing port. The backflushing valve 7 is connected to an external water source. The frame 2 is also equipped with a slag discharge port 23, and a slag discharge valve 6 is fixedly connected below the slag discharge port 23.
[0025] In this embodiment, the filter 51 has a hollow structure and porous filter plates are provided on both sides of the filter 51 to achieve solid-liquid separation. Each filter 51 is connected to the filtrate manifold 52 through multiple manifold branches 521 to ensure uniform flow of filtrate and to ensure that backwash water evenly covers each filter hole during backwashing.
[0026] The discharge backflushing pipe 21 is also provided with an observation window 24, which is made of transparent glass, allowing real-time observation of the filtrate color and determination of whether filtration is complete.
[0027] The frame 2 is provided with a cylinder mounting seat 25 on one side, and a lifting cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder mounting seat 25. The cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to a lifting beam 41. The lifting beam 41 is connected to the outer cylinder 1 through a lifting ring 12 and is used to drive the outer cylinder 1 to lift and lower, which facilitates internal maintenance and replacement of the filter assembly 5. The bottom of the frame 2 is provided with casters 3 for easy movement.
[0028] The outer cylinder 1 is provided with a feed inlet 11 and a water inlet 13 at the top, and the bottom of the outer cylinder 1 is detachably connected to the frame 2 by several latches.
[0029] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0030] During normal operation, the discharge valve 8 is open, while the slag discharge valve 6 and the backwash valve 7 are closed. The material to be filtered enters the outer cylinder 1 through the feed inlet 11 under the action of the pressure pump. Due to the continuous delivery of the pressure pump, the material in the outer cylinder accumulates continuously, and the pressure increases accordingly. Under the action of pressure, the material passes through the filter holes on the filter 51, enters the filtrate manifold 52 through the manifold branch pipe 521, and the filtered filtrate flows through the discharge backwash pipe 21 and is finally discharged through the discharge valve 8. Solid impurities in the material are intercepted by the filter 51.
[0031] To reduce material residue in the outer cylinder 1, the pressure pump stops working after all the material has entered the outer cylinder 1. Then, pure water is injected into the outer cylinder 1 through the water inlet 13 to continue pressurizing and filtering the material. Since MCT is immiscible with water and has a color difference (MCT is pale yellow), when the filtrate changes from pale yellow to transparent through the observation window 24, it proves that the material has been completely filtered, and the water injection is stopped at this time.
[0032] When the filter 51 needs to be cleaned, the backwash valve 7 and the slag discharge valve 6 are opened, and the discharge valve 8 is closed. Backwash water is injected through the backwash valve 7 and enters the filtrate manifold 52 along the discharge backwash pipe 21. Then, it enters the interior of the filter 51 through the manifold branch pipe 521 and flows out from the filter holes on both sides of the filter, flushing down the intercepted solid impurities to achieve backwash cleaning. The flushed solid impurities are discharged and collected after passing through the slag discharge port 23 and the slag discharge valve 6.
[0033] When internal maintenance or replacement of filter assembly 5 is required, open the connecting latch between outer cylinder 1 and frame 2, and lift outer cylinder 1 using lifting cylinder 4 to perform maintenance or replacement of filter assembly 5.
