Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of coagulant dosing technology, and in particular to an automatic coagulant dosing device for a waterworks. Background Technology

[0002] In the water purification process of a waterworks, a certain amount of coagulant needs to be added to the raw water according to the water quality, so that it can be mixed evenly with the water. Through the reaction, the colloids and other impurities in the raw water form flocs, which are then removed by sedimentation in subsequent processes.

[0003] A search revealed that CN220432484U discloses an automatic coagulant dosing device for waterworks. This device opens during material feeding to prevent premature flocculant leakage, ensuring feeding accuracy. It also disperses accumulated flocculant during feeding, preventing buildup from affecting the feeding speed and further guaranteeing feeding accuracy and water quality. Specifically, when feeding is required, an external controller operates the drive mechanism, causing an L-shaped plate to move. This movement, via a connecting rod, moves a slider in a chute, pushing a baffle to rotate and open, simultaneously releasing the flocculant from the open position. The L-shaped plate continues to move until it engages with a rack and connecting gear, causing the connecting shaft to rotate. This, in turn, causes the rotating shaft to rotate via meshing bevel gears, which in turn disperses the flocculant above through the rotating blades.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following technical defects exist that need to be improved: the aforementioned device only serves the purpose of stirring and adding flocculants, but it does not have a related weighing structure to ensure the quantitative addition of coagulants, nor a related solvent impurity filtration structure to ensure the purity of the added solvent, thereby reducing product quality.

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] This application discloses an automatic coagulant dosing device for a waterworks. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 5 The automatic coagulant dosing device for waterworks includes a feeding hopper 1, a feed pipe 2, an additive storage tank 3, a support block 4, an external expansion bracket 5, a weighing sensor 6, and a stirring assembly 7. The bottom two sides of the feeding hopper 1 are fixedly connected to the top of the support block 4. The feed pipe 2 is installed at the lower end of the discharge port of the feeding hopper 1. The additive storage tank 3 is located inside the external expansion bracket 5. The weighing sensor 6 is installed inside the external expansion bracket 5 and the support block 4. The stirring assembly 7 is installed inside the additive storage tank 3. A filter assembly 8 is also installed on the top of the additive storage tank 3.

[0031] The feeding hopper 1 is used to receive solid coagulant, the feed pipe 2 is used to connect the feeding hopper 1 to the filter assembly 8, the additive storage tank 3 is used to store the dissolved coagulant solution, the support block 4 is integrated with the weighing sensor 6 and bears the vertical load of the feeding hopper 1 and the feed pipe 2, the weighing sensor 6 is used to monitor the total mass of the coagulant inside the feeding hopper 1 in real time, the stirring assembly 7 is used to ensure that the agent is completely dissolved, and the filter assembly 8 is used to remove suspended solids, organic matter and particulate impurities from the solvent and ensure the purity of the solution.

[0032] The filter assembly 8 includes a material box 81, a filter plate 82, a cover plate 83, a connecting plate 84, and a vibration motor 85. The vibration motor 85 is threadedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 84. The inner side of the connecting plate 84 is threadedly connected to the surface of the filter plate 82. The cover plate 83 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the material box 81. The top of the material box 81 is slidably connected to the surface of the feed pipe 2.

[0033] The stirring assembly 7 includes a DC motor 71, a connecting shaft 72, and stirring blades 73. The DC motor 71 is installed at the bottom center of the additive storage tank 3. The connecting shaft 72 is fixedly connected above the output end of the DC motor 71. The stirring blades 73 are welded to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 72 and are used to stir the solvent.

[0034] A check valve 9 is also installed on the outside of the feed pipe 2.

[0035] Two sets of weighing sensors 6 are provided, and the two sets of weighing sensors 6 are symmetrically distributed on the top two sides of the outer support 5.

[0036] The general process of using the automatic coagulant dosing device for waterworks according to this application embodiment is as follows:

[0037] Unscrew the cover plate 83 and install the filter plate 82 into the inner cavity of the material box 81 via the connecting plate 84. The two sets of symmetrically distributed weighing sensors 6 are zeroed under no-load conditions. During the dosing stage, solid coagulant is manually or via conveyor belt added to the feeding hopper 1, and the weighing sensors 6 display the mass in real time. When the specified dosage is added, the PLC controls the check valve 9 to open, and the dry powder falls into the filter assembly 8 through the feed pipe 2. When the dry powder passes through the filter plate 82, large particles are intercepted, and the raw water backwashes the filter layer, and the dissolved agent enters the additive storage tank 3. The DC motor 71 starts, driving the connecting shaft 72 and the stirring blade 73 to rotate, forming a vortex to accelerate dissolution; the weighing sensors 6 continuously monitor the total mass of the additive storage tank 3; when the pressure difference is still large after the vibration motor 85 has been working continuously, the cover plate 83 needs to be manually unscrewed to replace the filter plate 82, thus completing the disassembly and installation operation.

[0038] The beneficial technical effects of the automatic coagulant dosing device for waterworks according to the embodiments of this application are roughly as follows:

[0039] This device uses a weighing sensor 6 integrated into the support block 4 and the outer bracket 5 to monitor the change in the mass of coagulant dry powder in the feeding hopper 1 in real time. Based on the total mass of the solution in the storage tank, the real-time concentration is calculated and the water is automatically replenished to the target ratio. The stirring fan blade 73 driven by the DC motor 71 adopts a double-layer inclined blade design, which transmits torque through the connecting shaft 72 to form an axial and radial composite flow field. In addition, the check valve 9 installed on the outside of the feed pipe 2 can prevent the backflow of solvent from causing distortion of the weighing data and ensure that the metering process is not affected by fluid pressure.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
