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.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 This utility model discloses an ozone water decomposition device, including at least one decomposition tower, a water tank 2, and a drainage pump P1.
[0031] Each decomposition tower is a vertically arranged elongated container connected in series. Specifically, each decomposition tower has a first inlet 11 and a first outlet 12 at its bottom and top, respectively. The first outlet 12 and first inlet 11 of adjacent decomposition towers are connected by pipelines, allowing wastewater to enter from the first decomposition tower, pass through each tower sequentially, and then be discharged. Each decomposition tower is equipped with ultraviolet lamps running along its length to decompose the ozone water entering the tower. Of course, some or all of the ultraviolet lamps can be operated as needed or according to the attenuation of the individual lamps to ensure complete decomposition of the wastewater sample.
[0032] Water tank 2 is a container with a second water inlet 21 and a second water outlet 22 at its top and bottom, respectively; the second water inlet 21 is connected to the first water outlet 12 of the decomposition tower at the end; water tank 2 is used for water storage and for allowing the stored water to stand still and release gas.

[0034] This invention's ozone water decomposition device improves wastewater safety by using at least one decomposition tower to decompose ozone water with ultraviolet lamps. A water tank 2 stores and allows for stabilization and venting of the decomposed wastewater, providing optimal full-water operation conditions for the drainage pump P1 and preventing gas from corroding the pipes, thus extending the lifespan of both the pump and the pipes. The drainage pump P1 ensures reliable discharge of wastewater from the bottom-level ozone water decomposition device into the wastewater drain pipe 6 above it, further enhancing wastewater discharge reliability. In summary, this invention's ozone water decomposition device features high integration, a rational design, improved wastewater discharge safety and reliability, extended drainage pump lifespan, and consequently, the lifespan of the entire ozone water decomposition device, while reducing costs.
[0035] The specific structure and principle of the ozone water decomposition device of this utility model will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0036] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1 There are two decomposition towers, namely the first decomposition tower 13 and the second decomposition tower 14, and the ultraviolet lamps installed inside them are the first ultraviolet lamp UV1 and the second ultraviolet lamp UV2, respectively; the first ultraviolet lamp UV1 is located in the middle of the first decomposition tower 13; and the second ultraviolet lamp UV2 is located in the middle of the second decomposition tower 14.
[0037] The ozone water decomposition device in this embodiment achieves the following: by setting up two decomposition towers and operating the ultraviolet lamps of each decomposition tower separately and operating the ultraviolet lamps of each decomposition tower together, it can fully utilize each ultraviolet lamp when the ultraviolet lamps have not decayed, while ensuring the ozone decomposition rate in the wastewater; when the ultraviolet lamps decay, operating each ultraviolet lamp simultaneously can ensure the ozone decomposition rate in the wastewater, thus ensuring the wastewater treatment quality. In addition, the ultraviolet lamps are placed in the middle of the decomposition towers to improve their decomposition efficiency.
[0038] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The ozone water decomposition device also includes a first ultraviolet light intensity meter Q1 and a second ultraviolet light intensity meter Q2, which are respectively installed in the first decomposition tower 13 and the second decomposition tower 14, and are used to detect the ultraviolet light intensity of the first ultraviolet lamp UV1 and the second ultraviolet lamp UV2 respectively; and determine the switching time for the first ultraviolet lamp UV1 and the second ultraviolet lamp UV2 to operate individually or together based on the ultraviolet light intensity of the first ultraviolet lamp UV1 and the second ultraviolet lamp UV2.
[0039] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The ozone water decomposition device also includes an ozone concentration detection unit Q3, which is installed on the pipeline between the second decomposition tower 14 and the water tank 2, and is used to detect the ozone concentration of the decomposed water output by the second decomposition tower 14.
[0040] In this embodiment, the ozone concentration detected by the ozone concentration detection unit Q3 is used to monitor the wastewater treatment quality in real time, ensuring the safety of the discharged wastewater.
[0041] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1 Both the first decomposition tower 13 and the second decomposition tower 14 are cylindrical; multiple baffles 15 are evenly arranged on the side wall inside the first decomposition tower 13 and the side wall inside the second decomposition tower 14.
[0042] The ozone water decomposition device in this embodiment reduces the flow rate of wastewater in the decomposition tower by setting baffles 15, thereby increasing the sampling decomposition rate.
[0043] In some specific embodiments, one end of each baffle 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the opposite side inside the decomposition tower, and the other end, i.e. the free end, overlaps and crosses each other.
[0044] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1A first temperature detection unit T1 and a second temperature detection unit T2, which are connected to a first ultraviolet lamp UV1 and a second ultraviolet lamp UV2, are respectively installed in the first decomposition tower 13 and the second decomposition tower 14. The first ultraviolet lamp UV1 and the second ultraviolet lamp UV2 are linked to the first temperature detection unit T1 and the second temperature detection unit T2 to operate or stop operating.
[0045] That is, when the temperature of each decomposition tower detected by the first temperature detection unit T1 and the second temperature detection unit T2 reaches the set threshold, the first ultraviolet lamp UV1 and the second ultraviolet lamp UV2 will stop operating in conjunction to protect the ultraviolet lamps; when another temperature threshold is reached, they will operate in conjunction; this can be achieved by using temperature detection to link the power supply line switch.
[0046] The ozone water decomposition device in this embodiment protects the ultraviolet lamp by setting up a temperature detection unit and linking the ultraviolet lamp with the temperature detection unit, thereby improving the lifespan and reliability of the ultraviolet lamp.
[0047] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The ozone water decomposition device also includes a maintenance module 3, which includes a first drain valve MV1, a second drain valve MV2, and a third drain valve MV3.

[0049] In this embodiment, the ozone water decomposition device has a first maintenance outlet 16, a second maintenance outlet 17, a third maintenance outlet 23, and a maintenance drain pipe 5 respectively installed at the bottom of the first decomposition tower 13, the second decomposition tower 14, and the water tank 2. The connection and disconnection of the first maintenance outlet 16, the second maintenance outlet 17, the third maintenance outlet 23 and the maintenance drain pipe 5 are controlled by the first drain valve MV1, the second drain valve MV2 and the third drain valve MV3. This allows for the separate discharge of maintenance liquid used for the maintenance of the decomposition towers and the water tank 2, thereby improving discharge safety and extending the lifespan of the ozone water decomposition device.
[0050] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The ozone water decomposition device also includes a check valve CV1, one end of which is connected to the third outlet 72 of the drainage pump P1 and located between the drainage pump P1 and the wastewater drainage pipe 6, and the other end is used to connect to the wastewater drainage pipe 6 through a pipeline.
[0051] In this embodiment, the ozone water decomposition device improves the safety and reliability of the ozone water decomposition device by installing a check valve CV1 between the drainage pump P1 and the wastewater drainage pipe 6 to prevent wastewater in the wastewater drainage pipe 6 from flowing back into the water tank 2 when the drainage pump P1 stops running.
[0052] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The ozone water decomposition device also includes an inlet valve SV1 and a pressure detection unit PT1 located in front of it. One end of the inlet valve SV1 is connected to the first inlet 11 of the decomposition tower located at the front end via a pipeline, and the other end is used to connect to the cleaning machine 4 located above it. The cleaning machine 4 is used to clean high-precision electronic products such as wafers. The inlet valve SV1 is connected to the pressure detection unit PT1, and the pressure detection unit PT1 is opened or closed in conjunction with it. This can be achieved by linking the power switch of the pressure detection unit PT1 with that of the inlet valve SV1.
[0053] In this embodiment, the ozone water decomposition device ensures that the pressure of the wastewater entering the decomposition tower is within a safe range by setting a pressure detection unit PT1 and an inlet valve SV1 linked to the pressure detection unit PT1, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the ozone water decomposition device.
[0054] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The ozone water decomposition device also includes a water level detection unit L1, which is installed in the water tank 2 to detect the water level in the water tank 2; the drain pump P1 is connected to the water level detection unit L1 and activates or stops the water level detection unit L1.
[0055] The ozone water decomposition device in this embodiment ensures that the drainage pump P1 operates in a full water state, which not only saves energy but also improves drainage efficiency and extends the life of the drainage pump P1.
[0056] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The ozone water decomposition device also includes a balancing valve SV2.
[0057] The upper end of the water tank 2 is provided with an air outlet 24; the balance valve SV2 is located at the air outlet 24 and is used to control the opening or closing of the air outlet 24; the balance valve SV2 is connected to the water level detection unit L1 and is linked to the water level detection unit L1 to open or close.
[0058] In this embodiment, the ozone water decomposition device ensures that the gas in the water tank 2 remains balanced by setting a balance valve SV2 that is linked to the water level detection unit L1, preventing the continuous accumulation of gas in the water tank 2 and improving the safety of the ozone water decomposition device.
