A conductivity sensor is installed at the outlet of ultrasonic filter 13 for detection. If the detection fails, the control panel 14 will control three-way valves 17 and 18 to re-filter the wastewater. After filtration, the corrosiveness is greatly reduced, decreasing the probability of heat exchanger 11 corrosion and improving the unit's lifespan. A rotating component is installed inside filter 15, and a wastewater tank 16 is connected to the left side of filter 15 via a pipe.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The rotating assembly includes a sliding frame 19, with a rotating groove on the rear side of the sliding frame 19. A filter screen frame 20 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove. A rotating baffle 21 is fixedly connected to the front end of the inner wall of the sliding frame 19. A slot is provided on the rear side of the sliding frame 19, and a locking block 27 is slidably connected inside the slot. A filter port 25 is provided at the top of the filter 15, a drain port 26 is provided on the bottom side of the filter 15, and a water outlet is provided at the bottom right side of the filter 15. Two cleaning ports 24 are provided on the front side of the filter 15. When cleaning the filter 15, the locking block 27 is removed and the filter screen frame 20 is rotated to tilt it. The cleaning ports 24 and the drain port 26 are opened, and a high-pressure water gun is used to clean the filter screen and the inner wall of the filter 15. The filtered material is discharged through the drain port 26. An energy storage outlet is provided on the rear side of the energy storage tank 4, and an electromagnetic one-way valve 5 is connected inside the energy storage outlet through a pipe. Support frames 10 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the outer walls of heat exchanger 11 and heat exchanger 3. Wastewater outlet is located at the bottom right side of wastewater tank 16, and cold water outlet is located at the bottom right side of cold water tank 1. A sliding groove 22 is provided inside the sliding frame 19, and a concave slider 23 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 22. A filter screen is installed inside the filter screen frame 20. The filter screen frame 20 is pulled out for replacement. Water pumps 12 are installed on all pipes. A control groove is located at the top front of the ultrasonic filter 13, and a control panel 14 is installed inside the control groove.
[0026] Working principle: Wastewater discharged into wastewater pool 16 is transported to filter 15 through pipes and pump 12. The pipes are coated with a ceramic anti-corrosion coating. The wastewater undergoes pretreatment filtration through filter 15, removing suspended solids. A coagulant is added to coagulate colloidal particles into larger flocs, which are then filtered through sedimentation and a filter screen. When cleaning filter 15, the retaining block 27 is removed and the filter screen frame 20 is rotated to tilt it. The cleaning port 24 and drain port 26 are opened, and a high-pressure water gun is used to clean the filter screen and the inner wall of filter 15. Filtered material is discharged through drain port 26. When replacing the filter screen, the filter screen frame 20 is pulled out for replacement. After pretreatment by filter 15, the wastewater is then transported to ultrasonic filtration. Inside the filter 13, water flows through the filter screen to remove fine impurities. As various pollutants in the filter medium accumulate inside the filter screen, the filter channel becomes clogged, and the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet gradually increases. When the pressure difference reaches the preset value, the system automatically starts the stroke motor and the backwash high-pressure pump to clean the filter screen. A conductivity sensor is installed at the outlet. Dyeing and printing wastewater usually contains a large amount of electrolytes, such as dyes, auxiliaries, and some salts. These substances will make the dyeing and printing wastewater have a high conductivity. Based on the conductivity characteristics of electrolyte solutions, the conductivity is reflected by measuring the conductivity of the solution. If the conductivity is too high, the three-way valve 17 and the three-way valve 28 will be controlled by the control panel 14 to filter the wastewater again.
[0027] After filtration, the corrosivity is greatly reduced, which reduces the probability of heat exchanger 11 corrosion caused by corrosion and improves the service life of the unit. After heat exchange between heat exchanger 11 and heat exchanger 23, heat is transferred from the hot fluid to the cold fluid to achieve heating. Wastewater is discharged from the drain pipe 9. When cold water passes through the measuring tube of electromagnetic flowmeter 2, an induced potential proportional to the flow rate is generated on the electrode. The flow rate of the fluid is calculated by measuring this potential and enters heat exchanger 23 in an appropriate ratio. After heating, it enters the printing and dyeing equipment through the pipeline. When the amount of heated water exceeds the required amount, the pressure reducing valve 6 will open and enter the energy storage tank 4 for storage. When needed, it is delivered to the printing and dyeing equipment through the electromagnetic check valve 5 and water pump on the back side.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
