Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seawater filtration technology, specifically to a multi-chamber seawater filter. Background Technology
[0002] Seawater contains a large amount of particulate matter, silt, microorganisms, and other impurities. If not filtered, these impurities can seriously affect the normal operation of a ship's engine cooling system. Seawater filters can effectively remove these impurities, ensuring the stable operation of the cooling system. The debris that settles inside the filter is stored between the filter element and the filter canister, occupying filter space. When a large amount of debris accumulates inside the filter, the filter flux ratio decreases, affecting the flow rate of subsequent water-using equipment and increasing internal resistance. Therefore, regular cleaning of the filter is necessary. However, existing seawater filters often have debris that settles inside, making cleaning difficult and laborious. Furthermore, the inner walls of seawater filters tend to adhere to a significant amount of impurities.
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application proposes a multi-chamber seawater filter. Utility Model Content
[0004] I. Technical problems to be solved
[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that impurities settle inside the filter, making it inconvenient to clean and remove them, and a lot of impurities adhere to the inner wall, making cleaning quite laborious.
[0006] II. Technical Solution
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a multi-chamber seawater filter, including a first filter chamber and a second filter chamber, an inlet pipe is installed through the lower part of one side wall of the first filter chamber, a drain pipe is installed through the lower part of one side wall of the second filter chamber, a water guide pipe is connected between the upper part of the side wall of the first filter chamber and the top of the second filter chamber, and a first filter plate is installed on the inner wall of the first filter chamber and outside the end of the water guide pipe.
[0008] A cover plate is sealed and installed on the top of the first filter chamber. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the inner side of the cover plate. A motor connected to the top of the rotating shaft is installed on the top of the cover plate. Multiple sets of flocculent material collecting spikes are installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft. A second filter plate is rotatably installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft and above the multiple sets of flocculent material collecting spikes. A dirt collection frame is rotatably connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft.
[0009] The second filtration chamber has a built-in activated carbon filter element.
[0010] As an improvement, the inner wall of the first filter chamber and the dirt collection frame are rectangular and fit together, and a frame is installed at the edge of the second filter plate, with the outer wall of the frame fitting together with the inner wall of the first filter chamber.
[0011] As an improvement, multiple sets of mounting brackets are installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft and above the second filter plate. A first cleaning brush is installed on the side of the mounting bracket away from the rotating shaft, and the multiple sets of the first cleaning brushes intermittently contact the outer side of the first filter plate.
[0012] As an improvement, multiple sets of support rods are installed on the upper outer side of the rotating shaft and below the second filter plate. A second cleaning brush is installed on the upper side of the support rod, and the second cleaning brush is in contact with the lower side of the second filter plate.
[0013] As an improvement, a control switch connected to the motor is installed on the top of the cover plate.
[0014] As an improvement, a sealing plug is installed on the lower side of the cover plate. The sealing plug extends into the inner side of the first filter chamber and makes sealing contact with the inner wall of the first filter chamber. The cover plate is fixedly installed on the upper side of the first filter chamber by multiple sets of bolts.
[0015] As an improvement, the upper height of the second filter chamber is lower than the upper height of the first filter chamber.
[0016] III. Beneficial Effects
[0017] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: the flocculent material collection spike in the first filter chamber, the second filter plate and the first filter plate sequentially filter the flocculent material, large impurities and small impurities in the seawater, and the activated carbon filter element in the second filter chamber adsorbs organic matter, heavy metals and ammonia in the seawater, thereby further purifying the seawater.
[0018] Debris in the seawater settles and is collected in the sludge collection frame. By opening the cover, the equipment installed on the outside of the rotating shaft can be completely removed from the first filter chamber for cleaning. The sludge collection frame carries the sediment out of the first filter chamber, and the outer wall scrapes off the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the first filter chamber, which are also carried out of the first filter chamber. This achieves simultaneous cleaning of the sediment and inner wall of the first filter chamber, saving time and effort. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the multi-chamber seawater filter includes a first filter chamber 1 and a second filter chamber 2. A water inlet pipe 3 is installed through the lower part of one side wall of the first filter chamber 1, through which seawater is introduced into the first filter chamber 1. The seawater flows from bottom to top inside the first filter chamber 1. A cover plate 6 is sealed and installed on the top of the first filter chamber 1. A sealing plug 19 is installed on the lower side of the cover plate 6. The sealing plug 19 extends into the inner side of the first filter chamber 1 and makes sealing contact with the inner wall of the first filter chamber 1. The cover plate 6 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the first filter chamber 1 by multiple sets of bolts to ensure the airtightness of the first filter chamber 1.
[0027] As attached Figure 2 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 As shown, a rotating shaft 9 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the cover plate 6. A motor 8 connected to the top of the rotating shaft 9 is installed on the top of the cover plate 6. A control switch 18 connected to the motor 8 is installed on the top of the cover plate 6. Multiple sets of flocculent material collecting spikes 11 are installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 9. The motor 8 is started by the control switch 18, and the rotating shaft 9 is rotated by the motor 8, so that the multiple sets of flocculent material collecting spikes 11 rotate inside the first filter chamber 1 to collect flocculent materials in the seawater.
[0028] A second filter plate 14 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the rotating shaft 9 and above the multiple sets of flocculent material collecting spikes 11. The second filter plate 14 filters out larger particles of impurities. A sludge collection frame 10 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 9. The filtered large particles of impurities accumulate in the sludge collection frame 10 at the bottom of the first filter chamber 1. The inner wall of the first filter chamber 1 and the sludge collection frame 10 are rectangular and fit together. A frame 15 is installed at the edge of the second filter plate 14. The outer wall of the frame 15 fits together with the inner wall of the first filter chamber 1. When the rotating shaft 9 rotates... The sludge collection frame 10 and the second filter plate 14 are limited inside the first filter chamber 1 to prevent them from rotating with the rotating shaft 9. Multiple sets of support rods 16 are installed on the upper outer side of the rotating shaft 9 and below the second filter plate 14. A second cleaning brush 17 is installed on the upper side of the support rod 16. The second cleaning brush 17 contacts the lower side of the second filter plate 14. The rotating second cleaning brush 17 cleans the lower side of the second filter plate 14 to prevent the lower side of the second filter plate 14 from becoming clogged and affecting the seawater flow speed.
[0029] As attached Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the upper height of the second filter chamber 2 is lower than that of the first filter chamber 1. A water guide pipe 5 is connected between the upper part of the side wall of the first filter chamber 1 and the top of the second filter chamber 2. Seawater is sent to the second filter chamber 2 through the water guide pipe 5. A first filter plate 7 is installed on the inner wall of the first filter chamber 1 and outside the end of the water guide pipe 5. After the second filter plate 14 performs primary filtration on the seawater, the seawater is sent to the second filter chamber 2 and then performs secondary filtration on the seawater through the first filter plate 7 to filter out small particulate impurities and retain them inside the first filter chamber 1. Multiple sets of mounting brackets 12 are installed outside the rotating shaft 9 and above the second filter plate 14. A first cleaning brush 13 is installed on the side of the mounting bracket 12 away from the rotating shaft 9. The multiple sets of first cleaning brushes 13 intermittently contact the outside of the first filter plate 7. The rotating shaft 9 drives the first cleaning brushes 13 to rotate, and the first cleaning brushes 13 clean the first filter plate 7 to prevent the outside of the first filter plate 7 from being blocked and affecting the seawater flow speed.
[0030] The second filter chamber 2 has a built-in activated carbon filter element. After two stages of filtration, the seawater passes through the activated carbon filter element in the second filter chamber 2 to adsorb organic matter, heavy metals and ammonia in the seawater, further purifying the seawater. A drain pipe 4 is installed through the lower part of one side wall of the second filter chamber 2. The purified seawater is discharged through the drain pipe 4 for use, ensuring the normal operation of the ship's engine cooling circulation system.
