Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of green and environmental protection technology, and in particular to an activated carbon dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In wastewater treatment and other processes, activated carbon is usually added to the wastewater to be treated. Activated carbon can effectively adsorb organic matter in the water, such as pesticide residues, benzene residues, volatile organic compounds, etc., and has a wide range of pollutant treatment effects. Therefore, most wastewater treatment processes choose to add activated carbon.

[0003] In current technology, activated carbon is usually delivered and added via a screw conveyor. However, the rotation of the screw can easily cause the activated carbon to break, affecting the effectiveness of the activated carbon addition and the water purification effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that existing activated carbon dispensing methods typically involve using screw conveyors, which can easily cause activated carbon breakage due to screw rotation, thus affecting the dispensing efficiency and water purification effect, this application provides an activated carbon dispensing mechanism, the specific solution of which is as follows.

[0005] An activated carbon dispensing device includes a hopper and a storage tank. A dispensing pipe is provided at the bottom of the hopper, and a connecting pipe is provided between the dispensing pipe and the hopper. The connecting pipe connects the hopper and the dispensing pipe. A fan is provided at one end of the dispensing pipe near the hopper, and the other end of the dispensing pipe is located on the upper side of the storage tank. The fan dissipates air towards the end of the dispensing pipe away from the hopper.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, activated carbon is placed in a hopper, and the hopper is connected to the feeding pipe through a connecting pipe. The blower blows the activated carbon in the hopper into the upper part of the tank through the feeding pipe, realizing the function of feeding activated carbon from the hopper to the tank. The method of conveying activated carbon by blowing it through the rigid pipe can reduce the damage to the activated carbon caused by the screw rotation and reduce the impact on the water purification effect.

[0007] Optionally, the dosing pipe includes a rigid pipe, one end of which is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, and the other end of which is positioned towards the material tank. The blower is located on the side where the rigid pipe and the connecting pipe are connected.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, the rigid pipe can be easily fixedly connected to the connecting pipe, making the connection structure between the hopper and the feeding pipe more stable. It also makes it easier to set the blower in a specific position, ensuring that the blower blows air towards the end of the feeding pipe away from the hopper, so as to realize the transportation of activated carbon from the hopper to the tank through the feeding pipe.

[0009] Optionally, the dosing pipe may also include a flexible hose, which is fixedly disposed at the end of the rigid pipe facing the material tank.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible hose installed on the end of the rigid pipe facing the material tank makes the delivery of activated carbon more flexible and adaptable, and can better deliver activated carbon into the material tank.

[0011] Optionally, a filter screen is provided at the position of the rigid pipe corresponding to the fan, and the filter screen completely blocks the space between the fan and the rigid pipe. The filter screen is used to block the activated carbon.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and installing corresponding filters at the rigid pipe, activated carbon can be prevented from entering the blower, thus avoiding damage to the blower and affecting the normal operation of the device.

[0013] Optionally, a flexible wrapping is also provided on the inner wall of the rigid tube, the flexible wrapping being arranged around the inner wall of the rigid tube, and the flexible wrapping being used to abut against the activated carbon.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible wrapping around the inner wall of the rigid pipe abuts against the activated carbon, reducing the collision and friction between the activated carbon and the inner wall of the rigid pipe, reducing the probability of activated carbon breakage, and ensuring the quality and effect of activated carbon application.

[0015] Optionally, the flexible wrapping is detachably connected to the rigid tube, and adhesive strips are fixedly provided at both ends of the flexible wrapping, which can be bonded to the inner wall of the rigid tube.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible wrapper and the rigid tube are detachably connected by a rubber strip, which facilitates the replacement of the flexible wrapper. The flexible wrapper that is damaged or worn due to long-term contact with activated carbon can be replaced in a timely manner, maintaining a good contact effect with the activated carbon and reducing the situation where activated carbon gets stuck in the flexible wrapper and forms an obstruction, causing other activated carbon to break.

[0017] Optionally, a guide plate is provided on the top of the material tank, and the guide plate is arranged around the circumference of the material tank.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a circumferential guide plate is set on the top of the material tank, which can more accurately guide the activated carbon into the material tank.

[0019] Optionally, the fan may include a high-pressure fan.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions and using a high-pressure blower as the dispensing power, the air force can be enhanced to more efficiently transport activated carbon from the hopper to the storage tank through the dosing pipe.

[0021] Optionally, the hopper is also provided with support legs for contacting the ground.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the hopper is equipped with support legs that rest against the ground, which can support the hopper and make it stable on the ground.

[0023] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This application addresses the problem that in the prior art, activated carbon is typically transported and dispensed via a screw conveyor, but the rotation of the screw can easily cause the activated carbon to break, affecting the dispensing effect and water purification efficiency. This application solves the problem by using a fan to drive the activated carbon, which can effectively reduce the damage to the activated carbon during transportation and further improve the water purification effect.

[0031] An activated carbon dispensing device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a hopper 1 and a tank 2. A feeding pipe 3 is installed at the bottom of the hopper 1, and a connecting pipe 11 connects the feeding pipe 3 and the hopper 1. A fan 31 is installed at one end of the feeding pipe 3 near the hopper 1, and the other end of the feeding pipe 3 is located on the upper side of the tank 2. The fan 31 exhausts air towards the end of the feeding pipe 3 furthest from the hopper 1. In a specific implementation, a guide plate 21 is installed on the top of the tank 2, surrounding the tank 2. Support legs 12 are also installed on the hopper 1 to abut against the ground. The fan 31 includes a high-pressure fan 31. This type of fan 31 can effectively push the activated carbon along the length of the connecting pipe 11, effectively improving the pushing effect. Furthermore, the fan does not directly contact the activated carbon during the pushing process, effectively reducing the damage to the activated carbon and further improving the water purification effect.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the dosing pipe 3 includes a rigid pipe 32, one end of which is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 11, and the other end of which faces the material tank 2. A blower 31 is located on the side where the rigid pipe 32 connects to the connecting pipe 11. The dosing pipe 3 also includes a flexible hose 33, which is fixedly installed on the end of the rigid pipe 32 facing the material tank 2. In specific implementations, the rigid pipe 32 is made of metal, the flexible hose 33 is made of rubber, and the connecting pipe 11 is made of the same material as the rigid pipe 32. The rigid pipe 32 and the connecting pipe 11 are connected by welding. The flexible hose 33 is detachably sleeved onto the rigid pipe 32. It needs to be adjusted and aligned with the material tank 2 and fixed. The activated carbon first falls into the material tank 2 from the connecting pipe 11 and then enters the material tank 2 along the flexible hose 33.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a filter screen 34 is installed at the position of the rigid pipe 32 corresponding to the blower 31. The filter screen 34 completely blocks the space between the blower 31 and the rigid pipe 32, and is used to block the activated carbon. In specific implementation, both the filter screen 34 and the blower 31 can be detachably connected to the rigid pipe 32 and can be removed for cleaning.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a flexible wrapping 35 is also provided on the inner wall of the rigid tube 32. The flexible wrapping 35 surrounds the inner wall of the rigid tube 32 and is used to abut the activated carbon. The flexible wrapping 35 is detachably connected to the rigid tube 32, and adhesive strips 351 are fixedly provided at both ends of the flexible wrapping 35, which can be bonded to the inner wall of the rigid tube 32. In specific implementation, the flexible wrapping 35 is made of rubber and coated with a nano-film layer to reduce the friction rate, effectively buffering the activated carbon, further reducing the possibility of activated carbon breakage, and also reducing the difficulty of movement due to excessive friction.

[0035] Working principle: By setting up a fan 31 to drive the activated carbon instead of a screw, the non-contact drive can effectively reduce the damage of activated carbon during transportation and further improve the water purification effect.

[0036] The above are preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
