Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sand filter technology, specifically to an activated sand filter for wastewater treatment. Background Technology
[0002] A sand filter is a device that removes suspended solids, particulate matter, and some microorganisms from water through physical filtration and deep filtration principles. It is widely used in drinking water purification and industrial wastewater treatment. A sand filter is a pool that uses sand particles (such as quartz sand) as the filter medium. Its function is to intercept impurities in the water through the porous structure of the sand layer, thereby achieving water purification.
[0003] When using a single-layer filter, all impurities, regardless of their size, will be filtered in one layer. This can lead to faster clogging of the filter gaps, and larger particles can easily block them, making it difficult to operate for extended periods. Furthermore, when using sand filters, if pretreatment is not performed, some floating particles or impurities in the wastewater will remain on the surface of the sand layer, posing a significant risk of clogging. Using a bar screen for pretreatment requires regular manual removal of the debris from the screen, making the overall operation relatively cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: It includes a housing 1, which is divided into a water filtration chamber 13, a sewage discharge chamber 14, and a drainage chamber 15 by a first partition 11 and a second partition 12. The water filtration chamber 13 is located between the sewage discharge chamber 14 and a drain pipe 17. A separation plate 4 is fixed inside the drainage chamber 15. A coarse sand layer 2 is provided at the bottom of the water filtration chamber 13, and a gravel layer 3 is provided above the coarse sand layer 2. A fine sand layer 5 is provided inside the drainage chamber 15, on the side of the separation plate 4 near the water filtration chamber 13. A drain pipe 17 is fixed to the outer wall of the drainage chamber 15. A slag discharge hole 16 is provided on the outer side of the sewage discharge chamber 14. A water inlet pipe 18 is fixed to the upper end of the housing 1, with the end of the water inlet pipe 18 aligned with the water filtration chamber 13. A mesh 6 is installed inside the housing 1 and above the water filtration chamber 13. A lifting groove 111 is provided in the first partition 11. A traction plate 72 is slidably connected to the lifting groove 111 through a drive assembly. A winding box 7 is fixed inside the drainage chamber 15. A winding roller 71 is rotatably connected inside the winding box 7. One end of the mesh 6 is wrapped around the winding roller 71, and the other end is fixed to the traction plate 72. A guide roller 114 is rotatably connected inside the housing 1 and at a position corresponding to the first partition 11. The mesh 6 passes through the guide roller 114. An end block 112 is fixed at the upper end of the first partition 11. The upper end of the end block 112 contacts the surface of the mesh 6. A baffle 110 is fixed inside the housing 1 and above the mesh 6.
[0018] The drive assembly includes a drive frame 8, which is fixed on the first partition 11. A drive block 81 is slidably connected inside the drive frame 8. The drive block 81 is fixed to the traction plate 72 by a connecting block. A threaded rod 82 is rotatably connected inside the drive frame 8. The threaded rod 82 passes through the drive block 81 and is threadedly connected to the drive block 81. A servo motor is fixed at the upper end of the drive frame 8, and a winding motor that drives the winding roller 71 to rotate is fixed on the outside of the housing 1. A synchronous controller is installed between the winding motor and the servo motor.
[0019] A solenoid valve 19 is installed on the water inlet pipe 18, and a liquid level sensor 113 is fixed on the second partition 12.
[0020] Working principle: First, connect the entire device to an external power source. Then, discharge wastewater through the inlet pipe 18, allowing it to enter the filter chamber 13 for filtration. Under its own gravity, it will pass through the gravel layer 3 and the coarse sand layer 2 in sequence, and then flow upward from the bottom of the fine sand layer 5. Finally, the purified water is discharged from the drain pipe 17. Using different sized particles for graded filtration can reduce the risk of clogging and ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Secondly, before the wastewater enters the filter chamber 13, it will undergo pre-filtration through the mesh screen 6 to retain larger pollutants or floating objects on the mesh screen 6. At the same time, when cleaning the impurities on the mesh, the synchronous drive of the winding motor and the servo motor can be used to drive the winding roller 71. The rotation and extension / retraction of the traction plate 72, when the take-up roller 71 unwinds, the downward movement of the traction plate 72 can transport impurities on the mesh 6 to the side of the drain chamber 14, where they eventually fall into the drain chamber 14. Conversely, it can reset the mesh 6. During driving, a servo motor drives the threaded rod 82 to rotate, causing the drive block 81 to move up and down, thereby driving the traction plate 72 to move up and down. Furthermore, the baffle 110 prevents the pre-treated impurities from moving to the innermost part of the mesh 6. Throughout the purification process, the liquid level sensor 113 monitors and controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 19 to ensure that the water level in the filter chamber 13 is controlled within a preset range, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
