Abstract
Description
A wastewater filtration device for the production of edible phycocyanin Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wastewater filtration devices, specifically a wastewater filtration device for the production of edible phycocyanin. Background Technology
[0002] Phycocyanin is a dark blue powder isolated from Spirulina, mainly found in cyanobacteria, red algae, and cryptophytes. Phycocyanin is generally divided into C-phycocyanin and R-phycocyanin. The former is mainly found in cyanobacteria, while the latter is mainly found in red algae. Cryptophytes contain both types. Its function is to absorb light (orange-yellow) energy and transmit light energy. The production process of existing phycocyanin produces wastewater. When the wastewater is continuously filtered, impurities tend to accumulate on the filter screen, reducing the filtration efficiency of the filter screen in the later stages of filtration and affecting the efficiency of continuous filtration. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wastewater filtration device for the production of edible phycocyanin, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A wastewater filtration device for the production of edible phycocyanin includes:
[0006] The tank has multiple side windows in the middle. A central shaft is slidably mounted on the top of the tank, and a mounting frame is mounted on the bottom of the central shaft. The central shaft is used to drive the mounting frame to move up and down. A frame part is provided on the upper part of the mounting frame, and a surrounding plate is installed on the bottom of the mounting frame. A filter screen is installed on the frame part, and the surrounding plate is used to block the side windows. A liquid inlet is provided at the top of the tank.
[0007] A drain assembly is installed on the outside of the tank. The drain assembly includes a ring shell, which is fixed to the outside of the tank. An installation ring is installed at the bottom of the ring shell, and multiple filter plates are installed on the installation ring. A screw conveyor is installed on one side of the ring shell to discharge impurities inside the ring shell.
[0008] Furthermore, a second sealing strip is fixedly installed at the top of the enclosure, and a first sealing strip is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tank above the side window.
[0009] Furthermore, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed at the top of the tank, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the central shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, both the frame and the filter screen are tapered.
[0011] Furthermore, a drive module is installed on the ring shell, which is used to drive the mounting ring to rotate back and forth.
[0012] Furthermore, the drive module includes a fixed ring and a drive motor. The top surface of the ring shell is provided with an arc groove. Multiple columns are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the bottom end of the fixed ring. The columns are fixedly installed with the mounting ring. A rocker arm is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed ring. A turntable is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and a round shaft is fixedly installed on the outer edge of the turntable. The round shaft is slidably connected to the rocker arm.
[0013] Furthermore, a water accumulation ring is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the ring shell.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. By setting up the filter screen, the central shaft moves downward, causing the mounting frame and filter screen to move downward, thus opening the enclosure to close the side windows. This allows impurities above the filter screen to flow into the ring shell through the side windows, reducing the accumulation of impurities above the filter screen and restoring the filter screen's filtration efficiency. Subsequently, the central shaft moves the filter screen and mounting frame upward, and the enclosure closes the side windows again. After the impurities enter the ring shell, they are drained through the filter plate, reducing the moisture content of the impurities. The screw conveyor discharges the impurities with low moisture content, thereby improving the filtration efficiency of wastewater.
[0016] 2. Through the setting of the drive module, the drive motor drives the rocker arm to rotate back and forth through the turntable and the round shaft. The rocker arm rotates and the fixed ring rotates back and forth. The fixed ring drives the mounting ring to rotate back and forth through the column. Thus, when the screw conveyor is conveying impurities outward, the rotation of the mounting ring will balance the impurities above the filter plate, avoid the formation of a cavity at the bottom of the screw conveyor, and facilitate the discharge of impurities inside the ring shell.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5. In this embodiment of the present invention, a wastewater filtration device for the production of edible phycocyanin includes a tank 100 and a draining assembly 200. Multiple side windows 110 are provided in the middle of the tank 100. A central shaft 130 is slidably mounted on the top of the tank 100, and a mounting frame 140 is mounted on the bottom of the central shaft 130. The central shaft 130 is used to drive the mounting frame 140 to move up and down. A frame portion 141 is provided on the upper part of the mounting frame 140, and a surrounding plate 142 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 140. A filter screen 160 is installed on the top, and a surrounding plate 142 is used to seal the side window 110. A liquid inlet 120 is opened at the top of the tank body 100. A drain assembly 200 is installed on the outside of the tank body 100. The drain assembly 200 includes a ring shell 210, which is fixed to the outside of the tank body 100. An installation ring 250 is installed at the bottom of the ring shell 210. Multiple filter plates 251 are installed on the installation ring 250. A screw conveyor 220 is installed on one side of the ring shell 210. The screw conveyor 220 is used to discharge impurities inside the ring shell 210.
[0027] Specifically, wastewater containing solid impurities is introduced through the inlet 120. At this time, the enclosure 142 is closed by the opposite window 110. The wastewater is filtered by the filter screen 160, causing impurities to be trapped above the filter screen 160. When a large amount of impurities accumulate above the filter screen 160, the permeability of the filter screen 160 decreases, the filtration efficiency decreases, and impurities are deposited on the filter screen 160. The central shaft 130 moves downward, causing the mounting frame 140 and the filter screen 160 to move downward, causing the enclosure 142 to open the opposite window 110, allowing the wastewater to flow from the filter screen 160. The impurities above the filter screen 160 flow into the annular shell 210 through the side window 110, reducing the accumulation of impurities above the filter screen 160 and restoring the filtration efficiency of the filter screen 160. Subsequently, the central shaft 130 drives the filter screen 160 and the mounting frame 140 to move upward, and the enclosure plate 142 closes the side window 110 again. After the impurities enter the annular shell 210, they are drained through the filter plate 251, reducing the water content of the impurities. The screw conveyor 220 discharges the impurities with low water content, thereby improving the filtration efficiency of wastewater.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] As shown in Figures 3 to 7, in this embodiment, a second sealing strip 143 is fixedly installed on the top of the enclosure 142, a first sealing strip 101 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tank 100 above the side window 110, a hydraulic cylinder 150 is fixedly installed on the top of the tank 100, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 150 is fixedly connected to the top of the central shaft 130. The frame part 141 and the filter screen 160 are both conical. A drive module 240 is installed on the ring shell 210, and the drive module 240 is used to drive the mounting ring 250 to... The drive module 240 includes a fixed ring 241 and a drive motor 243. The top surface of the ring shell 210 is provided with an arc groove 211. Multiple columns 244 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the bottom end of the fixed ring 241. The columns 244 are fixedly installed with the mounting ring 250. A rocker arm 242 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed ring 241. A turntable is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 243, and a round shaft is fixedly installed on the outer edge of the turntable. The round shaft is slidably connected to the rocker arm 242. A water accumulation ring 230 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the ring shell 210.
[0030] In this embodiment, the drive motor 243 drives the rocker arm 242 to reciprocate through the turntable and the circular shaft. The rocker arm 242 rotates the fixed ring 241 to reciprocate. The fixed ring 241 drives the mounting ring 250 to reciprocate through the column 244. Thus, when the screw conveyor 220 conveys impurities outward, the rotation of the mounting ring 250 balances the impurities above the filter plate 251, preventing the formation of a cavity at the bottom of the screw conveyor 220. The sealing degree between the enclosure plate 142 and the inner wall of the tank 100 is increased by setting the sealing strip 101 and the sealing strip 143.
