Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model patent relates to the field of folded plate flocculation tank technology, and mainly relates to a real-time water loss monitoring device for folded plate flocculation tanks. Background Technology
[0002] Folded plate flocculation tanks are a common type of wastewater treatment equipment. By adding chemical agents, suspended solids in the wastewater are aggregated into clumps, and then folded plates cause them to settle to the bottom of the tank. This operation results in water loss, but water loss is a normal phenomenon in wastewater treatment. Its degree and type vary and are affected by factors such as the nature of the wastewater, the working principle of the treatment equipment, and the technical level of the operators.
[0003] Existing folded plate flocculation tank testing equipment is mostly fixed inside the flocculation tank. However, during the testing process, many impurities adhere to the testing equipment, causing errors in the testing. It is also difficult to easily disassemble and clean the testing equipment. To address this, we propose a real-time water loss monitoring device for folded plate flocculation tanks. Utility Model Content

The water level detection component includes an L-shaped plate slidably connected to one side of the top of the flocculation tank body, a buoy slidably connected to the holes of the L-shaped plate, and multiple infrared sensors connected to the holes of the L-shaped plate. A monitoring device is connected to one side of the L-shaped plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the monitoring device includes a rotating motor connected to the top of the L-shaped plate, a lead screw connected to the drive end of the rotating motor, a support block connected to the bottom of the lead screw, and a transparent protective shell connected to the top of the support block. A camera is connected to the top of the support block, and the camera is located inside the transparent protective shell.
[0008] Furthermore, an inlet is provided on one side of the bottom of the flocculation tank body, and an outlet is provided on the other side of the bottom of the flocculation tank body. A flow meter is connected to one side of the outlet and the inlet.
[0009] Furthermore, a scale is fixed on the side of the flocculation tank body near the monitoring device;

[0011] Furthermore, slots are provided on both sides of the top of the flocculation tank body;
[0012] The L-shaped plate has mounting posts fixed on both sides of its bottom, and the mounting posts are slidably connected to the slot.
[0013] Furthermore, a first inclined edge is provided on one side of the top of the limiting plate;

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] This utility model provides a real-time water loss monitoring device for a folded plate flocculation tank. A mounting column is inserted into a slot, and pressing an L-shaped plate moves a limiting plate. The limiting plate is then reset by the spring force, thus restricting its position. The monitoring device can be removed by moving the limiting plate, facilitating installation and disassembly. A buoyancy-driven float floats on the water surface, and an infrared sensor detects its position to determine the water level. A rotating motor drives a lead screw, which in turn moves a camera up and down to detect the bottom wastewater level. The difference between the total water level and the wastewater level is used to determine the water loss.

[0024] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of the utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show several embodiments of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the text. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and comprehensive.
[0025] For an example, please refer to... Figure 1-4 A real-time water loss monitoring device for a folded plate flocculation tank includes a flocculation tank body 10. Limiting mechanisms 20 are connected to both sides of the top of the flocculation tank body 10. The limiting mechanism 20 includes a vertical plate 21 connected to one side of the top of the flocculation tank body 10, sleeves 22 connected to both sides of the vertical plate 21, a sliding rod 23 slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 22, and a spring 24 sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 23 and the sleeve 22. A limiting plate 25 is connected to one side of the sliding rod 23.
[0026] The water level detection component 30 is slidably connected to one side of the top of the flocculation tank body 10. The water level detection component 30 includes an L-shaped plate 31 slidably connected to one side of the top of the flocculation tank body 10, a float 32 slidably connected to the hole of the L-shaped plate 31, and a plurality of infrared sensors 33 connected to the hole of the L-shaped plate 31. A monitoring device 40 is connected to one side of the L-shaped plate 31.
[0027] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the buoy 32 is made to float on the water surface by buoyancy, and then the position of the buoy 32 is detected by the infrared sensor 33 to detect the water level. The limiting plate 25 is reset by the elastic force of the spring 24, thereby limiting the position of the L-shaped plate 31 and preventing the L-shaped plate 31 from shaking.
[0028] For an example, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4The monitoring device 40 includes a rotating motor 41 connected to the top of the L-shaped plate 31, a lead screw 42 connected to the drive end of the rotating motor 41, a support block 43 connected to the bottom of the lead screw 42, and a transparent protective shell 45 connected to the top of the support block 43. A camera 44 is connected to the top of the support block 43, and the camera 44 is located inside the transparent protective shell 45.
[0029] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the rotating motor 41 drives the lead screw 42 to rotate, thereby driving the camera 44 to rise and fall. The transparent protective shell 45 protects the camera 44 and prevents it from being damaged.
[0030] For an example, please refer to... Figure 2 The flocculation tank body 10 has an inlet 11 on one side of its bottom and an outlet 12 on the other side of its bottom. A flow meter 60 is connected to one side of the outlet 12 and the inlet 11.
[0031] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the flow meter 60 is convenient for calculating the outflow of water from the outlet 12 and the inflow of water from the inlet 11, thereby facilitating the calculation of water loss.
[0032] For an example, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 A scale 13 is fixed on the side of the flocculation tank body 10 near the monitoring device 40;
[0033] A pointer 431 is fixed on one side of the support block 43, and the pointer 431 cooperates with the scale 13.
[0034] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the pointer 431 moves up and down with the support block 43 to facilitate the camera 44 to observe the position of the pointer 431 pointing to the scale 13.
[0035] For an example, please refer to... Figure 3 The flocculation tank body 10 has slots 14 on both sides of its top.
[0036] The L-shaped plate 31 has mounting posts 311 fixed on both sides of its bottom, and the mounting posts 311 are slidably connected to the groove of the slot 14.
[0037] It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the mounting post 311 cooperates with the slot 14 to restrict the position of the L-shaped plate 31 and prevent the L-shaped plate 31 from moving left or right.
[0038] For an example, please refer to... Figure 3 The limiting plate 25 has a first inclined edge 251 on one side of its top;
[0039] The L-shaped plate 31 has a second inclined side 312 on both sides of its bottom, and the second inclined side 312 cooperates with the first inclined side 251.
[0040] It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the second inclined side 312 is parallel to the first inclined side 251, which facilitates the L-shaped plate 31 to press the limiting plate 25, thereby allowing the limiting plate 25 to move.
[0041] For an example, please refer to... Figure 1-2 The top of the L-shaped plate 31 is connected to the control processor 50, which is electrically connected to the infrared sensor 33 and the camera 44.
[0042] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the control processor 50 is convenient for processing the signals sent by the infrared sensor 33 and the camera 44, as well as controlling the operation of the infrared sensor 33 and the camera 44.
[0043] The specific operation method of this utility model is as follows:
[0044] The above-mentioned real-time water loss monitoring device for a folded plate flocculation tank involves inserting the mounting column 311 into the slot 14, pressing the L-shaped plate 31 to move the limiting plate 25, and then using the elastic force of the spring 24 to reset the limiting plate 25, thereby limiting the position of the L-shaped plate 31.
[0045] Buoyancy makes buoy 32 float on the water surface. The position of buoy 32 is detected by infrared sensor 33, thereby detecting the water level. The rotating motor 41 drives the lead screw 42 to rotate, thereby driving the camera 44 to rise and fall, thereby detecting the water level of the sewage at the bottom.
[0046] The embodiments described above merely illustrate the implementation methods of this application. However, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
