Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment, and in particular to a device for high-efficiency inclined plate aeration and flushing of sedimentation tanks. Background Technology
[0002] Aeration and sedimentation are two key steps in water treatment. The bubbles and water flow generated by aeration fully mix the activated sludge with the wastewater, preventing sludge sedimentation and maintaining the contact efficiency between microorganisms and pollutants, which is a form of biochemical degradation. Sedimentation, on the other hand, separates the sludge from the clean water through gravity, ensuring system stability and effluent compliance, which is a form of physical separation.
[0003] Currently, in water treatment processes, aeration devices are installed in separate pipes and are only used to blow gas into the water to generate bubbles. In order to improve the sedimentation effect, inclined plates are generally installed around the sedimentation tank to provide more surface for attachment and settling. When water flows over the inclined plates, suspended particles are subjected to multiple effects such as gravity, water flow resistance, and collision with the surface of the inclined plates. Smaller particles may collide and aggregate on the surface of the inclined plates to form larger particles, which are easier to settle. At the same time, the inclination angle of the inclined plates also helps particles slide down the surface of the inclined plates to the bottom, reducing the residence time of particles in the water and improving sedimentation efficiency. However, when there is sediment at the inclined plates, the aeration device with separate pipes cannot wash the inclined plates.
[0004] Therefore, ordinary aeration devices cannot flush the inclined plates to promote particle falling into the sedimentation zone. Furthermore, to improve aeration efficiency, rotary aeration is generally required. For example, patent application number 201320744925.8 discloses a sludge scraper with an aeration component, installed in the sludge collection trough of a sedimentation tank. It includes a drive mechanism, a central rotating support, a sludge scraping component, an outlet weir plate, and an aeration component. The power output of the drive mechanism is linked to the sludge scraping component via the central rotating support, which is arranged along the axis of the sludge collection trough. The outlet weir plate is installed at the drain outlet of the sludge collection trough. An aeration component is installed below the outlet weir plate, including a central aeration pipe assembly and side aeration pipe assemblies arranged at the four corners of the sludge collection trough. Although this patent uses a rotary aeration structure, its drive shaft is located inside the aeration component, which makes it difficult to connect the sludge scraping component with the central aeration component. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the lack of inclined plates in aeration components to promote sedimentation and the inadequacy of the connection between transmission and aeration structures in existing aeration devices, this utility model provides a device for efficient aeration and rinsing of inclined plates in sedimentation tanks.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0007] A high-efficiency inclined plate aeration and flushing device for sedimentation tank includes a sedimentation tank and an aeration and flushing device installed in the sedimentation tank. The sedimentation tank includes a sedimentation zone in the center and an inclined plate in the periphery. The aeration and flushing device includes a blower and an air outlet pipe installed at the air outlet end of the blower. The air outlet pipe has multiple branch pipes controlled by electrically controlled valves, wherein the branch pipes include a bypass flushing pipe extending to the inclined plate and a central flushing pipe extending to the sedimentation zone.
[0008] Preferably, a bridge mounting frame is provided above the sedimentation tank, and a drive motor is provided in the middle of the bridge mounting frame. The output end of the drive motor is provided with a rotating shaft that extends into the sedimentation tank. The output end of the rotating shaft is provided with a scraper. A rotary joint is provided on the rotating shaft. The inside of the rotating shaft is provided with an exhaust channel that communicates with the internal channel of the rotary joint. The scraper is provided with several small exhaust holes that communicate with the exhaust channel. The central flushing pipe is connected to the rotary joint to supply air to its internal channel.
[0009] Preferably, the rotary joint is a rotary joint with a rotating part and a fixed part. The rotating part is fixed on the rotating shaft, and the fixed part is connected to the central flushing pipeline.
[0010] Preferably, the transmission medium inlet of the rotary joint is located on the side.
[0011] Preferably, the exhaust holes are evenly spaced on the scraper blade.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: First, it uses inclined plates to assist sedimentation and descent. Then, it uses a multi-pipeline to flush the inclined plates while simultaneously switching the air path through a valve to achieve aeration, making one pipe serve two purposes. In addition, it uses a rotary joint on the rotating shaft to connect the aeration pipe and transmits gas to the scraper through the channel inside the rotating shaft, releasing and generating bubbles. The movement of the bubbles helps to agitate the water and promote the loosening and suspension of sludge. Attached Figure Description
