The outer wall of the drive shaft 5 is connected to the transmission belt 6, and an auxiliary component 7 is provided on the upper surface of the transmission belt 6. An air flotation component is provided on the left surface of the sedimentation tank 2.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The air flotation component includes an inlet 11, which is located at the center of the left surface of the sedimentation tank 2. The inlet 11 is used for the input of wastewater. A sludge collection tank 13 is connected to the lower surface of the sedimentation tank 2. The sludge collection tank 13 is used to collect sludge generated during the treatment process. A sewage outlet 12 is connected to the left end of the sludge collection tank 13. The sewage outlet 12 is used for the discharge of sludge. A sewage pipe 10 is connected to the upper end of the sludge collection tank 13. The sewage pipe 10 is used to transport wastewater. Sludge collection tanks 8 are connected to the front and rear surfaces of the sedimentation tank 2. Sludge collection tanks 8 are used to collect scum.

A transport pipe is connected to the lower surface of the sludge discharge pipe 9. The transport pipe is used for the transport of sludge and scum. The transport pipe is fixedly installed between the fixed frame 1 and the sedimentation tank 2.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 The auxiliary component 7 includes a water outlet box 72, which is detachably connected to the node on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 6 via positioning blocks 75. The water outlet box 72 is used for further treatment of wastewater. A bubble float plate 71 is detachably connected to the upper surface of the water outlet box 72. The bubble float plate 71 is used to generate microbubbles to enhance the air flotation effect. Positioning blocks 75 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the water outlet box 72 to ensure the stable installation of the water outlet box 72. Multiple sets of evenly distributed drainage channels 73 are opened on the lower surface of the water outlet box 72 for wastewater discharge. A fixing groove 74 is opened on the lower surface of the inner wall of the water outlet box 72.

The elastic member 76 provides a buffering and stabilizing effect, and the abutment block 77 is used to enhance the structural stability of the water outlet box 72.

[0027] Working Principle: Wastewater enters sedimentation tank 2 through inlet 11. The design of sedimentation tank 2 ensures that large suspended particles are initially settled before entering subsequent treatment stages. This initial sedimentation helps reduce the load on subsequent treatment and improves overall treatment efficiency. The wastewater mixes with microbubbles in sedimentation tank 2. The air flotation component generates microbubbles ranging from 30 to 50 micrometers through aerators. These microbubbles adhere to suspended particles, oil, grease, and solid flocs, increasing their buoyancy and causing them to float to the surface, forming scum. This process utilizes DAF dissolved air flotation technology, significantly improving separation efficiency. The scum is collected through scum collection tank 8 and discharged from the system through scum discharge pipe 9. The lower surface of scum discharge pipe 9 is connected to a transport pipe, which is fixed between the fixing frame 1 and sedimentation tank 2, ensuring smooth discharge of scum for subsequent treatment. Sludge generated during treatment is collected through sludge collection tank 13, with a drain outlet 12 connected to the left end for sludge discharge. The bottom sludge is fixed and partially dewatered by a shaftless screw conveyor. This design allows operators to control the sludge thickness, avoiding premature removal of solids and reducing sludge accumulation. Remaining sludge is then transported to a central discharge point and discharged via an automatic pneumatic valve. This discharge cycle is self-cleaning, ensuring that particles inside the system do not adhere to the walls, thus maintaining long-term stable operation. Auxiliary component 7 is installed on the upper surface of conveyor belt 6 for further wastewater treatment. The effluent box 72 is detachably connected to the nodes on the upper surface of conveyor belt 6 via positioning blocks 75, ensuring uniform distribution of wastewater during transport. Bubble flotation plates 71 are detachably connected to the upper surface of effluent box 72 to generate additional microbubbles, enhancing the flotation effect. Multiple evenly distributed drainage channels 73 are formed on the lower surface of effluent box 72 for wastewater discharge. The design of the drainage channels 73 ensures uniform wastewater discharge, preventing localized accumulation. Motor 4 provides power to the entire system via drive shaft 5 and conveyor belt 6. The auxiliary component 7 is located on the upper surface of conveyor belt 6 to ensure uniform distribution of wastewater during transport and further treatment. The rotation of drive shaft 5 drives the conveyor belt 6 to move, ensuring that the wastewater can be fully mixed and treated in sedimentation tank 2. The system's discharge cycle is designed for self-cleaning.

[0028] Any particles adhering to the system walls or sides will loosen during discharge and follow their initial flow path, ensuring long-term stable operation of the system. This self-cleaning function reduces maintenance frequency and costs, and improves system reliability. As standard, the system is equipped with aerators, a circulation module, pneumatic switches, and a control panel. These components enable precise control of the aeration module and sediment discharge valve, ensuring efficient system operation. The control panel monitors and adjusts the influent flow rate, flotation process, and sludge discharge, enabling automated management.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
