[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application.

Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] In the field of wastewater treatment, the operational efficiency of the wastewater biological treatment tank is crucial to the entire treatment process. Temperature is one of the key factors affecting the activity and metabolic efficiency of microorganisms in the biological treatment tank. With the continuous improvement of wastewater treatment requirements and the temperature variations in different seasons and regions, traditional temperature control methods are gradually showing limitations in ensuring a suitable growth environment for microorganisms in the biological treatment tank.

[0022] In related technologies, common temperature control methods such as heating pipes or simple ventilation equipment often fail to accurately control the temperature inside the biochemical tower, leading to large temperature fluctuations that affect the normal functioning of microorganisms and consequently reduce the efficiency and quality of wastewater treatment. This biochemical tower has a simple and reliable structure, enabling temperature monitoring and regulation within the tower. By incorporating four-bay first-stage fans and exhaust ducts, it quickly and effectively removes hot air from the tower when temperatures are too high, achieving a cooling effect. Steam is introduced into the tower through steam pipes and a first valve to raise the temperature inside the tower at low temperatures. A second fan, ventilation ducts, and a second valve accelerate air circulation, further assisting in temperature regulation within the tower.

[0023] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of the bio-tower provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 2 This is a top view of a bio-tower provided in an embodiment of this application. The bio-tower with temperature control function provided in this embodiment includes: a tower body 100, a first temperature control mechanism 200, and a second temperature control mechanism 300.

[0024] See Figure 1 and Figure 2A bio-tower with temperature regulation function includes: a tower body 100, with a temperature sensor 110 installed inside the tower body 100; a first temperature regulation mechanism 200, including: an exhaust pipe 210 and one or more first fans 220, the one or more first fans 220 being spaced apart at the upper end of the tower body 100, the exhaust pipe 210 being connected to one or more first fans 220 and located on one side of the tower body 100; and a second temperature regulation mechanism 300, including: a steam pipe 310, a first valve 320, a second fan 330, a second valve 340, and a ventilation pipe 350, the steam pipe 310 being installed on the tower body 100 and configured to introduce steam into the tower body 100, the first valve 320 being installed on the steam pipe 310, the second fan 330 being installed on one side of the tower body 100, the ventilation pipe 350 being installed on the tower body 100, the second valve 340 being installed on the ventilation pipe 350, and the second fan 330 being connected to the ventilation pipe 350.

[0025] It is worth noting that the temperature sensor 110 is positioned below the ventilation duct 350. When the tower body 100 is operating normally, the water level inside the tower body 100 is lower than the ventilation duct 350.

[0026] It is worth noting that the number of the first wind turbine can be one, two, three, four, etc.

[0027] When there is only one first fan, based on the above structure, in spring and autumn, when the temperature inside the tower 100 ranges from 15℃ to 35℃, this is the normal state, and the first fan operates in low-frequency mode. In summer, when the temperature inside the tower 100 exceeds the set high-temperature threshold, the first fan operates in high-frequency mode until the temperature inside the tower 100 falls below the set high-temperature threshold; once the temperature inside the tower 100 returns to normal, the first fan resumes low-frequency mode. In winter, when the temperature inside the tower 100 falls below the set low-temperature threshold, the first valve 320 opens, steam pipe 310 introduces steam into the tower 100, the second fan 330 starts, and the second valve 340 opens, accelerating the circulation of hot air inside the tower 100, thereby accelerating the temperature rise; once the temperature inside the tower 100 returns to normal, the first valve 320 and the second valve 340 are closed, and the first fan continues to operate in low-frequency mode.

[0028] When there are approximately four first fans, based on the above structure, in spring and autumn, when the temperature inside the tower body 100 ranges from 15℃ to 35℃, this is considered normal, and two first fans 220 are activated. In summer, when the temperature inside the tower body 100 exceeds the set high-temperature threshold, all four first fans 220 are activated until the temperature inside the tower body 100 falls below the set high-temperature threshold. Once the temperature inside the tower body 100 returns to normal, two first fans 220 are shut off, while two first fans 220 remain on. In winter, when the temperature inside the tower body 100 falls below the set low-temperature threshold, the first valve 320 is opened, steam is introduced into the tower body 100 through the steam pipe 310, the second fan 330 is activated, and the second valve 340 is opened, accelerating the circulation of hot air inside the tower body 100 and thus accelerating the temperature rise. Once the temperature inside the tower body 100 returns to normal, the first valve 320 and the second valve 340 are closed, while two first fans 220 remain on.

[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the number of the first fans is four, and the four first fans are arranged in a cross shape. This arrangement can quickly and effectively exhaust the hot air inside the tower when the temperature is too high, achieving a cooling effect. In addition, it can achieve uniform air blowing to different positions inside the tower body 100, ensuring the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of exhaust. The coordinated work between the fans makes the exhaust effect cover a wider range and avoids the situation of poor local exhaust.

[0030] The exhaust duct 210 includes a main duct and multiple branch ducts, with the main duct connected to the first fan 220 via the branch ducts. Thus, by setting up the main duct and multiple branch ducts, the exhaust air from multiple first fans 220 is collected and discharged centrally, ensuring the uniformity of exhaust air. Furthermore, this branch duct structure effectively integrates the exhaust air from each first fan 220, reducing exhaust resistance, improving exhaust efficiency, making the exhaust process smoother, and reducing energy consumption. It is worth noting that when the number of first fans is approximately four, the number of branch ducts is approximately four as well.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, both the first valve 320 and the second valve are electrically operated valves. This enables rapid response and action, achieves remote automatic control, facilitates good integration with automated control systems, and enhances the overall intelligence of the bio-tower.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the tower body 100 is provided with a first packing section 120 and a second packing section 130, with the first packing section 120 located above the second packing section 130, and the steam pipe 310 and the ventilation pipe 350 located between the first packing section 120 and the second packing section 130. This arrangement can increase the gas-liquid contact area and improve the processing efficiency.

[0033] For example, a first support and a second support are provided inside the tower body 100. The first packing section 120 is disposed on the first support, and the second packing section 130 is disposed on the second support. In addition, a filter screen or filter head is provided at the bottom of the second support, so as to ensure that the packing material of the second packing section 130 does not flow downward.

[0034] Specifically, the first packing section 120 is a honeycomb inclined tube packing, and the pore size of the first packing section 120 is 10 to 100 mm, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. In some embodiments, the pore size of the first packing section 120 can be 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm and 100 mm.

[0035] Specifically, the second packing section 130 is granular packing. The second packing section 130 is not in a fixed state; for example, when the first packing section 120 is blocked, the second packing section 130 can rise as the liquid level rises.

[0036] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, an aeration main pipe 140 and an aeration branch pipe 150 are provided at the lower end of the tower body 100. The aeration main pipe 140 and the aeration branch pipe 150 are connected. Nozzles are provided on both the aeration main pipe and the aeration branch pipe. A third valve 160 is provided on the aeration main pipe 140. A blower 170 is provided on one side of the tower body 100 and is connected to the aeration main pipe 140.

[0037] For example, when the first packing section 120 becomes blocked, the second valve 340 closes, the third valve 160 opens for aeration, the blower 170 operates, and the granular packing of the second packing section 130 rises with the backflow of gas and liquid. At this time, the gas and liquid levels rise to the upper surface of the first packing section 120, and the granular packing of the second packing section 130, in a fluidized state, passes through the first packing section 120 and impacts the inner surface of the first packing section 120. This is equivalent to scrubbing the inner surface of the first packing section 120 together with the gas and liquid, keeping the inner surface of the first packing section 120 unobstructed.

[0038] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, a biochemical pool inlet pipe and a biochemical pool inlet pipe are arranged side by side at the lower end of the tower body 100, so as to realize the inflow and outflow of water inside the tower body 100.

[0039] Specifically, the inlet pipe of the biological treatment tank is located below the second packing section 130.

[0040] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, a circulating water pump 180 is provided on one side of the tower body 100. This circulating water pump 180 is connected to the lower end of the tower body 100. A circulating water pipe 190 is provided on the circulating water pump 180, extending into the upper end of the tower body 100. Multiple first nozzles are provided on the circulating water pipe 190 at the upper end of the tower body 100. Furthermore, the circulating water pipe 190 at the upper end of the tower body 100 is located above the first packing section 120. Thus, by connecting the circulating water pump 180 to the lower end of the tower body 100, the liquid inside the tower body 100 is circulated. Water is transported from the lower end to the upper end of the tower body 100 through the circulating water pipe 190, and the multiple first nozzles achieve uniform spraying, increasing the gas-liquid contact area and improving the treatment effect.
