Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to a distributed wastewater treatment station monitoring and control device based on the A / O process. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of my country's rural economy, the problem of rural domestic sewage treatment has become increasingly prominent. Currently, rural sewage treatment facilities mostly adopt a distributed layout. While this layout is suitable for the dispersed nature of rural residences, it also presents the following technical problems: 1. Existing monitoring systems are mostly designed for large-scale urban sewage treatment plants and are not suitable for the characteristics of rural distributed sewage treatment stations; 2. The actual treatment scale of rural domestic sewage is relatively small, resulting in high operating costs. Existing technologies lack cost-effective monitoring solutions for small-scale distributed sewage treatment stations; 3. Distributed village domestic sewage treatment facilities face the problem of numerous and dispersed sites, making it difficult for existing monitoring systems to effectively manage these many scattered sites; 4. Existing monitoring systems focus primarily on data acquisition and transmission, lacking feedback control. These problems lead to high management costs and low problem-solving efficiency for rural distributed sewage treatment stations. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a distributed wastewater treatment plant monitoring and control device based on the A / O process, thereby improving the management efficiency of distributed wastewater treatment plants and reducing operating costs.
[0004] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] Furthermore, the power supply unit adopts a three-phase four-wire power supply system with a rated voltage of 380V / 220V and a frequency of 50Hz. It is equipped with a 30kVA isolation transformer to provide a stable power supply for the entire control unit and equipment at the wastewater treatment site. The power supply unit integrates protective components such as surge protectors, circuit breakers, contactors, and thermal relays, providing power support for electrical equipment such as aerators, return pumps, booster pumps, dosing equipment, blowers, submersible mixers, and various sensors. The power supply unit is also equipped with a 2kVA UPS uninterruptible power supply, which can provide at least 30 minutes of emergency power supply during mains power outages to ensure the normal operation of critical equipment and data acquisition systems.
[0008] The data acquisition unit consists of multiple analog and digital acquisition modules, employs a 24-bit high-precision A / D converter, and has a sampling frequency of up to 100Hz.

This unit receives raw data from the data acquisition unit, processes the data, and transmits it to the display and interaction unit for presentation. Simultaneously, it generates control commands based on preset control logic and sends them to the output control unit. The controller unit is also responsible for local data storage and backup.
[0011] The output control unit consists of a programmable logic controller (PLC) and a multi-channel relay output module, featuring 32 digital inputs and 24 digital outputs, as well as 16 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs. This unit receives control commands from the controller unit and controls the operating status of the field devices accordingly.
[0012] The output control unit supports manual / automatic mode switching. In automatic mode, it operates according to the instructions of the controller unit, while in manual mode, it can be manually controlled through the display interaction unit.
[0013] The communication transmission unit employs multiple communication technologies, including wired Ethernet, 4G / 5G wireless communication, LoRa low-power wide area network, and Wi-Fi. This unit is responsible for data transmission between the controller unit and the remote monitoring center and cloud platform, supporting multiple communication protocols such as TCP / IP, MQTT, and HTTP. The transmission rate of the communication transmission unit can reach 10Mbps, meeting the needs of real-time data transmission and remote control.
[0014] The display and interaction unit includes a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen (1280×800 resolution) on the field control box, a remote web access interface, and a mobile app. The field touchscreen features an industrial-grade waterproof and dustproof design (IP65 protection rating), allowing it to operate normally in ambient temperatures ranging from -20℃ to 70℃. The display and interaction unit shows various parameter information received from the controller unit through a graphical interface, including real-time water quality data, equipment operating status, and alarm information. Operators can set and adjust system parameters via the touchscreen, web interface, or mobile app, such as modifying control thresholds, switching equipment operating modes, and setting alarm conditions. The unit also provides data export functionality, supporting the generation and export of reports in various formats such as CSV, Excel, and PDF.
[0015] Furthermore, the entire device is installed in a waterproof and dustproof control cabinet. The control cabinet housing is equipped with a semiconductor air conditioner connected to the controller unit to monitor the temperature inside the housing in real time and control heat dissipation.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By adopting the above technical solution, the distributed sewage treatment station monitoring and control device can realize remote monitoring and management of decentralized sewage treatment stations. The device collects water quality data in real time through the data acquisition unit, processes the data through the controller unit, and outputs the control unit to precisely control the sewage treatment equipment. At the same time, through the communication transmission unit and the display interaction unit, remote data transmission and multi-platform display are realized, enabling managers to keep abreast of the operating status of each station, promptly identify and solve problems, greatly improve management efficiency, and reduce operating costs.
