Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a high-viscosity wastewater MBR membrane frame. Background Technology
[0002] MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) technology combines biological treatment and membrane filtration, and has been widely used in wastewater treatment. In existing technologies, an MBR membrane frame typically consists of membrane modules, an aeration system, and a supporting structure. The membrane modules are used to trap microorganisms and pollutants in the water, achieving water purification; the aeration system introduces air into the membrane tank to generate water flow, preventing sludge deposition on the membrane surface while providing oxygen for the microorganisms. This structure gives MBR technology advantages such as high efficiency, small footprint, and good effluent quality.
[0003] However, due to the special characteristics of wastewater and the high viscosity of sludge, traditional aeration methods are difficult to effectively agitate the sludge, causing it to easily deposit on the membrane surface, affecting membrane flux and operating efficiency. Secondly, uneven aeration may lead to dead zones in the membrane tank, where sludge cannot be effectively agitated, further increasing the risk of sedimentation. In addition, high sludge concentration and viscosity may also lead to increased aeration energy consumption, maintenance difficulties, and a lack of active cleaning mechanisms, resulting in a shortened chemical cleaning cycle for membrane modules and an increased membrane fiber breakage rate, which seriously affects the economy and reliability of MBR technology.

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a high-viscosity wastewater MBR membrane frame, including a sludge scraping mechanism and an MBR membrane frame body 1. Multiple support legs 2 are arranged below the MBR membrane frame body 1. The sludge scraping mechanism includes two outer stainless steel sleeves 3, two reciprocating motors 4, and two inner stainless steel square tubes. A drive gear 6 is provided at the output end of each reciprocating motor 4. Multiple stainless steel paddles 7 are arranged between the two inner stainless steel square tubes. Multiple gear slots 8 are provided on the outer side of each inner stainless steel square tube. The two outer stainless steel sleeves 3 are respectively fixedly connected to their corresponding support legs 2 and located between the two support legs 2. The two reciprocating motors 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the MBR membrane frame body 1 and located below the MBR membrane frame body 1 and above their corresponding outer stainless steel sleeves 3. The two inner stainless steel square tubes are respectively slidably connected to their corresponding outer stainless steel sleeves 3 and located inside the outer stainless steel sleeves 3. The drive gear 6 drives the corresponding inner stainless steel square tube and is located at the corresponding gear slot 8.
[0020] In this embodiment, the reciprocating motor 4 drives the inner stainless steel square tube to slide inside the outer stainless steel sleeve 3, and the stainless steel scraper 7 is used to actively clean the sludge at the bottom of the MBR membrane frame body 1. This mechanical sludge scraping method can effectively address the problem of easy sludge deposition in high-viscosity wastewater and improve membrane flux and operating efficiency.
[0021] Furthermore, a stainless steel baffle 9 is provided above the stainless steel lever 7.
[0022] In this embodiment, the design of the stainless steel baffle 9 can further enhance the sludge scraping effect, prevent sludge from splashing out or flowing back during the sludge scraping process, and ensure that the sludge scraping process is clean and efficient.
[0023] Furthermore, the tilt angle of the stainless steel lever 7 is 30°.
[0024] In this embodiment, the tilt design allows the stainless steel blade 7 to more effectively contact and scrape away the sludge on the membrane surface during the sludge scraping process, while reducing the resistance during sludge scraping and improving the sludge scraping efficiency.
[0025] Furthermore, the thickness of both the stainless steel lever 7 and the stainless steel baffle 9 is 2mm.
[0026] In this embodiment, the thickness design ensures both the strength of the stainless steel shovel 7 and the stainless steel baffle 9, as well as their flexibility, making the sludge scraping process smoother and also helping to reduce damage to the membrane surface during sludge scraping.
[0027] Furthermore, the power of the reciprocating motor 4 is 0.75 kW, the speed of the reciprocating motor 4 is 5 rpm, and the reciprocating interval of the reciprocating motor 4 is 2 hours as one cycle.
[0028] In this embodiment, by designing the motor power, speed and reciprocating interval reasonably, sufficient power for the sludge scraping mechanism is ensured while avoiding energy waste. At the same time, the continuity and stability of the sludge scraping process are ensured, and the operating efficiency of the entire MBR membrane frame is improved.
[0029] Furthermore, the stroke of the sludge scraping mechanism covers 100% of the projected area of the bottom of the MBR membrane frame body 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, the full-coverage design ensures that there are no dead corners at the bottom of the MBR membrane frame body 1, effectively preventing the deposition and accumulation of sludge on the membrane surface, and further improving membrane flux and operating efficiency.
[0031] Furthermore, all of the stainless steel levers 7 extend to the bottommost end of the support leg 2.
[0032] In this embodiment, this design ensures the thoroughness of the sludge scraping process, effectively removing even the sludge at the very edges, further improving the sludge scraping effect and guaranteeing the long-term stable operation of the MBR membrane frame.
[0033] In this utility model, firstly, the entire MBR membrane frame body 1 is stably installed in the tank for treating high-viscosity wastewater via multiple supporting legs 2 below it. Then, two reciprocating motors 4 are started. The output end of the reciprocating motors 4 is equipped with the drive gear 6. These gears mesh with the gear slot 8 on the outside of the inner stainless steel square tube, thereby driving the inner stainless steel square tube to perform reciprocating sliding motion within the outer stainless steel sleeve 3. When the inner stainless steel square tube slides, the stainless steel pawl 7 also moves accordingly to scrape off the sludge at the bottom of the MBR membrane frame body 1.
[0034] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
