Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter technology, and in particular to a rotary arm backwash filter. Background Technology
[0002] Backwash filters have been increasingly used in industries such as mineral processing, mineral beneficiation, water treatment, papermaking, petrochemicals, municipal or agricultural irrigation in recent years.
[0003] Existing backwash filters are inefficient in cleaning filter cartridges. These filters contain a disc with openings for installing filter cartridges. Each cartridge has a collection trough at its lower end. When cleaning is required, the collection trough rotates to clean each cartridge sequentially, cleaning one cartridge per rotation – a low efficiency. The collection trough structure relies on a sealing gasket in contact with the disc (e.g., the rotary arm backwash filter disclosed in patent application CN 221432295U). Because the sealing gasket needs to rotate and contact the disc, the seal between the gasket and the disc deteriorates over time, preventing a consistently tight fit and significantly impacting cartridge cleaning. Furthermore, replacing the gasket requires disassembling numerous components, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing rotary arm backwash filters to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to disclose a rotary arm backwash filter that uses multiple adjusting springs to ensure the sealing ring fits tightly against the disc, achieving effective compensation of the sealing surface. During rotation, it can ensure adaptive fine-tuning, realizing adaptive adjustment and sealing of the entire large flat surface. This allows the liquid collection tank structure to cover multiple openings with one rotation, enabling the cleaning of multiple filter elements and greatly improving cleaning efficiency. In addition, the height of the liquid collection tank is adjustable, which not only ensures that the sealing ring fits tightly against the disc but also facilitates the replacement of the sealing ring, saving time and effort and greatly improving the self-cleaning capability of the rotary arm backwash filter.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a rotary arm backwash filter, including a tank, a disc installed inside the tank, several filter elements, a liquid collection tank structure, and a stepper motor. The disc divides the tank into an independent outlet chamber and an inlet chamber. The disc has several openings for installing filter elements.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Equivalent transformations or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] like Figure 1-4 The rotary backwash filter shown includes a tank 1, a disc 2 installed inside the tank 1, several filter elements 3, a liquid collection tank structure 6, and a stepper motor 4.
[0021] The flower plate 2 divides the tank 1 into an independent outlet chamber 21 and an inlet chamber 22. The flower plate 2 has an opening 20 for installing the filter element 3, which is located inside the outlet chamber 21. The inlet chamber 22 is connected to an inlet pipe 51, and the outlet chamber 21 is connected to an outlet pipe 52. The raw liquid enters the inlet chamber 22 through the inlet pipe 51, and under pressure, it enters the filter element 3 through the opening 20. After being filtered by the filter element 3, impurities are retained on the inner wall of the filter element 3, and the clear liquid enters the outlet chamber 21 and finally flows out from the outlet pipe 52.
[0022] The stepper motor 4 is mounted on the top of the tank body 1. The stepper motor 4 has a rotating shaft 41 connected to a hollow shaft 42, which passes through a flower disc 2. The hollow shaft 42 and the flower disc 2 are connected by a bushing 421. The tank body 1 also includes a drain pipe 43 mounted on it. The hollow shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the drain pipe 43. Specifically, a support base 431 is connected to the drain pipe 43, and a bushing 432 is provided inside the support base 431. The hollow shaft 42 is installed inside the bushing 432.
[0023] The liquid collection tank structure 6 includes a liquid collection tank 61 and a liquid collection pipe 62 connected to each other. The liquid collection tank structure 6 is connected to the hollow shaft 42. Specifically, the liquid collection pipe 62 is connected to a connecting pipe 7, which is sleeved on the hollow shaft 42. The hollow shaft 42 has an opening on the side facing the liquid collection pipe 62, thereby connecting the liquid collection tank structure 6, the connecting pipe 7, the hollow shaft 42, and the drain pipe 43.
[0024] The stepper motor 4 drives the liquid collection tank structure 6 to rotate in the liquid inlet chamber 22. Each rotation covers multiple openings 20. When the liquid collection tank structure 6 covers an opening 20, the raw liquid in the filter element 3 is discharged sequentially through the liquid collection tank structure 6, connecting pipe 7, hollow shaft 42, and drain pipe 43. The external pressure of the filter element 3 is greater than the internal pressure. Under the action of pressure, impurities on the inner wall of the filter element 3 fall off and are discharged sequentially through the liquid collection tank structure 6, connecting pipe 7, hollow shaft 42, and drain pipe 43, thereby cleaning the filter element 3. Subsequently, the liquid collection tank structure 6 rotates to cover the next opening 20, and the above operation is repeated.
[0025] The liquid collection tank 61 is provided with a sealing ring 67 at its top, which contacts the flower disc 2 to provide a sliding seal. The liquid collection tank 61 and the sealing ring 67 are connected by several adjusting springs 68. Specifically, the liquid collection tank 61 has an annular limiting groove 610 at its top, and the adjusting springs 68 are evenly spaced within the limiting groove 610. The sealing ring 67 is located on the limiting groove 610, and its outer wall fits against the inner wall of the liquid collection tank 61. A sealing ring 69 is provided between the outer wall of the sealing ring 67 and the inner wall of the liquid collection tank 61 for sealing. The adjusting springs 68 adjust the height of the sealing ring 67 to ensure that it fits tightly against the flower disc 2.
[0026] Multiple adjusting springs 68 are used to make the sealing ring 67 fit tightly against the disc 2, which effectively compensates the sealing surface. During rotation, adaptive fine adjustment can be guaranteed, realizing adaptive adjustment and sealing of the entire large plane. The liquid collection tank structure 6 can cover multiple openings 20 with one rotation to clean multiple filter elements 3, improving cleaning efficiency and greatly enhancing the self-cleaning ability of the rotary backwash filter.
[0027] It also includes a limiting plate 64 and a fixing screw 65. The fixing screw 65 passes through the limiting plate 64 and the liquid collection tank 61 in sequence and abuts against the liquid collection pipe 62, thereby fixing the position of the liquid collection tank 61 and the liquid collection pipe 62.
[0028] It also includes a round nut 63 screwed onto the liquid collection pipe 62, the round nut 63 abutting against the bottom of the liquid collection tank 61. The round nut 63 can not only push the liquid collection tank 61 up and down to ensure that the sealing ring 67 fits tightly against the disc 2, but also lower the liquid collection tank 61, thereby facilitating the replacement of the sealing ring 67, saving time and effort, and greatly improving the self-cleaning ability of the rotary arm backwash filter.
[0029] The limiting plate 64 extends into the groove of the round nut 63 to prevent the round nut 63 from rotating. A sealing ring 66 is provided between the liquid collection tank 61 and the liquid collection pipe 62 to ensure the sealing between them.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
