Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental protection equipment technology, specifically to a novel shallow sand filtration modular water distribution system. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of environmental protection equipment, shallow sand filters are commonly used water treatment devices, and the performance of their water collection and distribution system directly affects the filtration effect and operating costs. Existing shallow sand filter water collection and distribution modules mostly adopt cylindrical splicing or stainless steel welded structures. This structure has significant shortcomings: firstly, the cylindrical splicing or welding process easily leads to dimensional deviations, causing a loss of effective filtration area and affecting the filter's treatment efficiency; secondly, stainless steel materials are expensive, and the welding process is complex and difficult to process, resulting in high overall equipment costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of water collection and distribution system that is simple in structure, low in cost, and can ensure uniform water distribution.

The water collection and distribution module includes a central perforated plate with several evenly distributed water passage holes. A square water passage pipe communicating with the water passage holes is fixedly installed at the bottom of the central perforated plate. Several square support pipes are fixedly installed at intervals at the bottom of the central perforated plate.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Combined with appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 7 A novel shallow sand filter modular water distribution system includes a water collection and distribution module arranged below the filter screen at the bottom of the shallow filter tank. The water collection and distribution module includes a central perforated plate 1 with several evenly distributed water passage holes 2. A square water passage pipe 3 communicating with the water passage holes 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the central perforated plate 1. Several square support pipes 4 are fixedly installed at intervals at the bottom of the central perforated plate 1. A grid plate assembly is fixedly installed at the upper end of the central perforated plate 1 by a pressure plate 5. The grid plate assembly includes an upper grid plate 6 and a lower grid plate 7. A metal filter screen 8 is laid between the upper grid plate 6 and the lower grid plate 7. The squares of the lower grid plate 7 correspond one-to-one with the water passage holes 2.

[0031] Multiple pressure plates 5 are provided, located above the upper grid plate 6 and fixed to the pool bottom by expansion bolts 9. The square support pipe 4 is longer than the square water passage pipe 3, the square support pipe 4 contacts the pool bottom, and the lower end of the square water passage pipe 3 is suspended. A water passage 10 is provided on the lower side wall of the square support pipe 4. Adjacent square water passage pipes 3 are tightly fixedly connected. Both the square support pipe 4 and the square water passage pipe 3 are made of PVC material.

[0032] The intermediate perforated plate 1 is fixedly provided with baffles 11 around its perimeter to prevent backfill concrete from entering the grid plate assembly. The upper grid plate 6 and the lower grid plate 7 are made by mold, which ensures the dimensions while also achieving a smooth surface, thereby reducing wear on the filter screen.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When this novel shallow sand filter modular water distribution system is working, the water to be treated enters the shallow filter tank from above, undergoes preliminary filtration through the metal filter screen 8, passes through the square grid of the lower mesh plate 7, and enters the corresponding water passage holes 2 on the middle perforated plate 1. Because the water passage holes 2 are evenly distributed, the water flow is uniformly dispersed. The water enters the square water passage pipe 3 and square support pipe 4 connected to it through the water passage holes 2, and the water flows within the square water passage pipe 3 and square support pipe 4. The square support pipe 4 is longer than the square water passage pipe 3, and its lower side wall has a water outlet 10. The water flow can pass through the water outlet 10 between and inside the square support pipe 4, and finally enters the bottom of the tank, completing the water distribution process. In this process, the square support pipe 4 not only supports the middle perforated plate 1 and the mesh plate assembly, but its fixed spacing design also ensures structural stability and does not affect the water flow. The pressure plate 5 is fixed to the bottom of the pool by expansion bolts 9, which tightly fixes the upper grid plate 6, metal filter screen 8 and lower grid plate 7 to prevent them from shaking and affecting the filtration effect. The baffles 11 around the middle perforated plate 1 can prevent backfill concrete from entering the grid plate assembly, avoid damage to the filter screen 8 and the grid plate, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0034] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
