Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to a filter structure for an online environmental monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] Environmental online water quality monitoring equipment is an intelligent system integrating sensors, data acquisition, and transmission modules. It can monitor key parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, and ammonia nitrogen in real time. The equipment transmits data to a cloud platform via wireless communication. This online water quality monitoring equipment is widely used in drinking water sources, wastewater treatment plants, and natural water bodies, contributing to water quality safety and ecological protection.
[0003] Existing online water quality monitoring equipment uses sensors that are directly immersed in the water to be tested. However, because the water may contain suspended solids, particulate matter, algae, and other impurities, these impurities can directly adhere to the sensor surface, leading to decreased sensor sensitivity or increased measurement errors. Furthermore, once the sensors are contaminated, they require frequent cleaning and maintenance to ensure normal operation. This not only increases labor costs but may also cause data interruption or distortion due to untimely maintenance. To address these issues, we propose a filtration structure for environmentally friendly online monitoring equipment. Utility Model Content

In addition, it requires frequent cleaning and maintenance, which increases labor costs and may cause data interruption or distortion due to untimely maintenance. Therefore, this invention proposes an environmentally friendly filter structure for online monitoring equipment.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] By filtering impurities from wastewater through a filter tank, the filtration structure of this application significantly reduces the likelihood of impurities directly adhering to the sensor surface, thereby extending the sensor's lifespan and reducing performance degradation caused by impurity contamination. Through impurity filtration, the need for sensor cleaning and maintenance is greatly reduced, decreasing labor costs and avoiding potential damage to the sensor caused by frequent maintenance.
[0016] A servo motor drives the cylinder to rotate, and the filter tank rotates synchronously with the cylinder. Impurities remaining in the filter tank and clogging it are thrown out under centrifugal force, thus clearing the filter tank.

The servo motor drives the cylinder to rotate the filter tank at different positions to the nozzles for rinsing, thus the device can automatically clean and clear the filter tank.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] Reference Figure 1-6A filter structure for an environmental online monitoring device includes an annular plate 1. The annular plate 1 is provided with a fixing mechanism for fixing the annular plate 1 to an external drainage pipe. A support base 2 is fixedly installed on the annular plate 1. A water quality monitor 3 is fixedly installed on the support base 2. A wire 4 is electrically connected to the water quality monitor 3. A sensor 5 is electrically connected to the end of the wire 4. Two spaced connecting rods 6 are fixedly installed on the support base 2. A horizontal plate 7 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting rods 6. A cylinder 8 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 7. Several evenly distributed filter grooves 9 are opened on the cylinder 8. The wire 4 passes through the horizontal plate 7. The sensor 5 is set inside the cylinder 8.
[0027] A sealing ring 10 is installed at the connection between the wire 4 and the horizontal plate 7 to improve the sealing performance of the connection. A gear ring 11 is fitted and fixedly installed on the outside of the cylinder 8. A servo motor 12 is fixedly installed on the horizontal plate 7, with its output shaft passing through the horizontal plate 7. A drive wheel 13 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the servo motor 12, and the drive wheel 13 meshes with the gear ring 11. The servo motor 12 is a waterproof motor. The sensor 5 is a pH sensor, and the water quality monitor 3 is connected to the cloud platform via a network.
[0028] The fixing mechanism includes multiple fixing components arranged in a circular array. Each fixing component includes a plate 19 fixedly installed on a ring plate 1. A pressure plate 20 is provided on one side of the plate 19. Multiple guide rods 21 are fixedly installed on the pressure plate 20. The guide rods 21 pass through the plate 19. An anti-slip pad 22 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 20. A screw 23 is rotatably installed on the pressure plate 20. The screw 23 passes through the plate 19 and is threadedly connected to the plate 19.
[0029] A schematic diagram of the device's operation can be found here. Figure 1 As shown, the device is installed at the end of the sewage discharge pipe. By placing multiple pressure plates 20 on the outside of the sewage discharge pipe, the pressure plates 20 are moved toward the sewage discharge pipe and pressed onto the sewage discharge pipe by rotating the screw 23. The anti-slip pad 22 can increase the friction between the two, thereby fixing the device on the sewage discharge pipe.
[0030] Wastewater discharged from the sewage discharge pipe flows through the cylinder 8 and enters the cylinder 8 through the filter tank 9. Impurities in the wastewater are filtered out by the filter tank 9. The pH value of the wastewater inside the cylinder 8 is then monitored in real time by the sensor 5, and the water quality monitor 3 displays the test results. The filtration structure of this application significantly reduces the possibility of impurities directly adhering to the surface of the sensor 5, thereby extending the service life of the sensor 5 and reducing performance degradation caused by impurity contamination. By filtering impurities, the cleaning and maintenance requirements of the sensor 5 are greatly reduced, decreasing labor costs and avoiding potential damage to the sensor 5 caused by frequent maintenance.
[0031] The servo motor 12 drives the drive wheel 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 11 to rotate. The gear ring 11 and the cylinder 8 rotate synchronously, and the filter tank 9 rotates synchronously with the cylinder 8. The impurities remaining in the filter tank 9 and those clogging the filter tank 9 are thrown out under the action of centrifugal force, thereby clearing the blockage of the filter tank 9.
[0032] Based on Example 1, Example 2:
[0033] Reference Figure 2-6 A suction pump 14 is fixedly installed on the horizontal plate 7. The inlet end of the suction pump 14 is connected to and fixedly installed with an inlet pipe 15, and the outlet end of the suction pump 14 is connected to and fixedly installed with a drain pipe 16.

The nozzles 17 are oriented towards the filter tank 9. A filter plate 18 is fixedly installed inside the inlet pipe 15.
[0034] Water from the drain pipe is pumped into the inlet pipe 15 by the suction pump 14. The wastewater entering the inlet pipe 15 is filtered by the filter plate 18. The filtered water enters the drain pipe 16 and is discharged through multiple nozzles 17, which can rinse the filter tank 9. The cylinder 8 is rotated by the servo motor 12, which can rotate the filter tank 9 at different positions to the nozzles 17 and be rinsed. Thus, the device can automatically clean and unblock the filter tank 9.
