Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of alumina production, specifically a liquid rotary filter used in alumina production. Background Technology
[0002] Alumina production typically involves the Bayer process, which includes steps such as decomposition, sedimentation, and filtration. Liquid filtration is important in this process, especially in removing impurities and fine particles from the aluminum hydroxide slurry;
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN217247184U, which describes a liquid rotary filter for alumina production. The filter includes an installation assembly with a filter device mounted on it. The filter device has a rotating mechanism installed inside, and a collection device is installed on the top of the installation assembly. When the operator rotates the screw clockwise, the stabilizing plate moves downward. Because the anti-slip pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the stabilizing plate, the friction between the plate and the ground is increased, thus improving the stability during use.
[0004] However, the aforementioned liquid rotary filter has a fixed filter cartridge (3) during the liquid filtration process, and mainly relies on the gravity of the liquid itself for filtration. The filtration effect is poor, and it is inconvenient to clean and maintain the filter cartridge.
[0005] To address these issues, those skilled in the art have proposed a liquid rotary filter for alumina production to solve the problems raised in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a liquid rotary filter for alumina production, which solves the problems of poor filtration effect and inconvenience in cleaning and maintaining the filter cartridge in existing rotary filters.

A support is provided inside the housing, and a filter cylinder passes through the middle of the support. A rotating tube is connected to the top of the filter cylinder, and the top of the rotating tube is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the housing. A centrifugal assembly for driving the filter cylinder to filter the liquid is provided in the middle of the rotating tube. A slag discharge pipe passing through the housing is connected to the bottom of the filter cylinder. A backwash assembly that cooperates with the centrifugal assembly is provided on one side of the filter cylinder.
[0008] Preferably, an inlet pipe is installed through the top of the housing, the inlet pipe is coaxially arranged with the rotating pipe, and the bottom end of the inlet pipe is inserted into the rotating pipe.
[0009] Preferably, a liquid outlet pipe is provided on one side of the bottom of the shell, and a manual valve is provided in the middle of both the liquid outlet pipe and the slag outlet pipe.
[0010] Preferably, the centrifugal assembly includes a motor, a drive gear, and a driven gear. The motor is mounted on the top of the housing, and the output end of the motor passes through the housing and is connected to the drive gear. The driven gear is meshed with one side of the drive gear and is mounted on the outside of the rotating tube.
[0011] Preferably, the backflush assembly includes a backflush pipe, a nozzle, a swinging component, and a pump body. Ear plates are installed at both ends of the inner wall of the housing, and a backflush pipe is rotatably arranged between the two ear plates. A swinging component is provided at the top of the backflush pipe. Multiple sets of nozzles are linearly arranged on one side of the backflush pipe. A pump body is installed on the outer wall of the housing. The water inlet of the pump body is connected to an external water pipe, and the water outlet of the pump body is connected to a water delivery hose. One end of the water delivery hose passes through the housing and is connected to the backflush pipe.

Then, the motor 9 is started, and the motor 9 drives the drive gear 10 to rotate. The drive gear 10 meshes with the driven gear 11. Under the action of the meshing force, the filter cylinder 3 is driven to rotate rapidly through the rotating pipe 4. During the rotation, the liquid is centrifugally filtered. The filtered liquid can be discharged through the outlet pipe 7, and the filtered residue can be discharged through the slag outlet pipe 5. When the filter cylinder 3 needs to be maintained and cleaned, the motor 9 drives the drive gear 10 to rotate. The drive gear 10 and the driven gear 11 work together to drive the filter cylinder 3 to rotate. At the same time, the drive gear 10 drives the guide shaft 19 to make a circular motion. When the guide shaft 19 moves in a circular motion, it drives the connecting plate 18 to swing left and right around the connecting shaft 17. During the swing, it expands the rinsing area of the filter cylinder 3.
