Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship ballast water treatment technology, and in particular to an anti-clogging filter device for ship ballast water treatment systems. Background Technology
[0002] The anti-clogging filter in the ship's ballast water treatment system is a key upstream component of the entire treatment process. Its core task is to efficiently remove larger suspended solids, organisms, and debris from the ballast water while minimizing the risk of clogging, ensuring that subsequent treatment units, such as ultraviolet light, electrolysis, and chemical injection, can operate stably and efficiently.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent CN202322141944.8 discloses a positive pressure explosion-proof modular ship ballast water treatment system, including a deckhouse shell. The top outer edge of the deckhouse shell is provided with an assembled fence protection component. The top of the deckhouse shell is provided with several assembled ventilation devices. The interior of the deckhouse shell is divided into a safe area and a dangerous area. Ship outfitting is provided inside both the safe area and the dangerous area. The ship outfitting includes a neutralization unit located in the safe area. A conveying pipe is connected to the neutralization unit.
[0004] While the aforementioned patent allows for centralized operation and maintenance by arranging the electrical control box of the ballast water treatment system inside the module, in actual use, the presence of large amounts of suspended solids, organisms, and debris in the ballast water necessitates filtration through a filter device. This is done to minimize the risk of clogging and ensure the stable and efficient operation of subsequent treatment units. Existing filter devices are cleaned only through backwashing, making it difficult to remove sticky algae, shellfish, or fibrous impurities adhering to the filter screen.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes an anti-clogging filter device for a ship ballast water treatment system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide an anti-clogging filter device for a ship ballast water treatment system, which solves the problems in the prior art where backwashing is inconvenient for cleaning sticky algae, shellfish or fibrous impurities adhering to the filter screen.
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0010] Preferably, the first cleaning mechanism includes a support rod connected to the connecting shaft, and a cleaning brush is mounted on the top of the support rod.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the support rod is provided with a support pipe that connects to the bottom of the inner side of the filter box, and the bottom side of the support pipe is provided with a drain port that communicates with the drain pipe.
[0012] Preferably, the second cleaning mechanism includes a sealing plate fixed on the first partition plate at the top of the filter cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder fixedly mounted on the top of the sealing plate, and a scraper assembly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0013] Preferably, the scraper assembly includes a scraper frame fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, and the outer side of the scraper frame is provided with a plurality of mounting slots, the inside of which a scraper is connected via a spring telescopic rod.
[0014] Preferably, the spring telescopic rod includes a sleeve connected to the inner side of the mounting groove, and the inside of the sleeve is provided with a slide rod connected to the scraper via a spring.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an anti-clogging filter device for a ship ballast water treatment system, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) This utility model has a first cleaning mechanism and a second cleaning mechanism. The first cleaning mechanism can quickly clean the filter plate and reduce clogging. At the same time, the second cleaning mechanism can mechanically scrape off the impurities on the inner wall of the filter screen cylinder, improve the filtration effect, reduce clogging, and have a better cleaning effect. This solves the problems in the prior art where backwashing is inconvenient to clean the sticky algae, shellfish or fiber impurities adhering to the filter screen.
[0017] (2) The present invention can pre-filter larger particles of impurities in ballast water by setting filter plates, effectively reducing the chance of clogging of filter screen cylinder during use. At the same time, in conjunction with the first cleaning mechanism, the filter plates can be quickly cleaned, solving the problem that the single filter mechanism in the prior art is prone to increased clogging probability and is also difficult to clean.

[0033] Working principle:
[0034] This utility model provides an anti-clogging filter device for a ship ballast water treatment system. In use: the water inlet is connected to the water inlet channel through the water inlet pipe 11. After the water enters the filter box 1, it first passes through the filter plate 14 and then enters the interior of the filter screen cylinder 10. After passing through the filter screen cylinder 10, the water is discharged through the water outlet pipe 5. During filtration, the first cleaning mechanism is driven to rotate by the motor 4 to clean the bottom of the filter plate 14. The scraper assembly is driven by the hydraulic cylinder 8 to move inside the filter screen cylinder 10 to clean the inner wall of the filter screen cylinder 10. During backwashing, the pressure pump is connected through the flushing pipe 2 to flush the filter screen cylinder 10 inside the filter box 1 with the filtered water. After the impurities are flushed down, they are discharged through the drain pipe 6.
