Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mixed bed resin regeneration technology, and in particular relates to a fully automatic resin regeneration system. Background Technology
[0002] Mixed bed resin regeneration refers to the process of restoring the ion exchange capacity of mixed bed resin through chemical methods. It usually includes steps such as backwashing, regenerator injection, displacement, and forward washing. The purpose is to remove the ions adsorbed on the resin to restore its exchange performance, thereby extending the service life of the resin and ensuring a continuous and efficient water purification effect.
[0003] In traditional mixed-bed resin regeneration processes, the resin separation process mainly relies on manual observation of the stratification state of the anion and cation resins in the separation tower. Resin separation is achieved by manually adjusting backwashing parameters. This manual monitoring method suffers from problems such as large subjective judgment bias and insufficient real-time performance. Especially in cases of insufficient light or blurred resin interfaces, operators find it difficult to accurately identify the stratification boundaries, which can easily lead to incomplete resin separation or misoperation, thereby affecting regeneration efficiency and the stability of effluent water quality. At the same time, it increases the frequency of manual intervention and operation and maintenance costs, making it unsuitable for use.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide a fully automated resin regeneration system. Utility Model Content

The top of the linear bearing is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 844. Movable openings for use with the adjustment frame 83 are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 81. The rear side of the adjustment frame 83 is fixedly connected to the identification mechanism 82 by bolts.

An exhaust port 12 is connected to the top of the tower body 1.
[0029] Specifically: the equipment mounting plate 821 is used for mounting and fixing the industrial camera 822 and the laser spectrometer 823. The industrial camera 822 can record the resin separation inside the tower 1, and the laser spectrometer 823 is used to analyze the elemental composition of the resin in real time, facilitating dynamic optimization of regeneration parameters by the control end. The supplementary light 824 can provide supplementary lighting inside the tower 1. The sliding rod and sliding sleeve can limit the adjustment frame 83, allowing it to move smoothly back and forth and preventing it from deviating during movement.

The position of the adjustment frame 83 allows the identification mechanism 82 to automatically adjust the distance between itself and the viewing hole 7, increasing the clarity of the identification mechanism 82. The linear guide rail and linear bearing limit the threaded sleeve 844, allowing it to move back and forth smoothly and preventing the threaded sleeve 844 from rotating.

[0030] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During the resin regeneration process, anion and cation resins enter the tower body 1 through the resin inlet pipe 4. Utilizing the density difference of the resins, the anion resin accumulates in the upper layer, while the cation resin settles in the lower layer. The visual recognition component 8 at the viewing hole 7 is then activated. An industrial camera 822 captures real-time images of the resin layering, while a laser spectrometer 823 simultaneously analyzes the elemental composition of the resin. A supplementary light 824 automatically turns on in low-light environments to enhance observation clarity. The control mechanism 84 drives a screw 843 via a motor 842, which in turn moves a threaded sleeve 844. The adjusting frame 83 then pushes the recognition mechanism 82 to adjust the distance between itself and the viewing hole 7 to the optimal observation position. The collected layering data is transmitted to the control terminal in real time, and the control terminal automatically corrects the tree structure based on the feedback results. The regeneration parameters of the resin enable closed-loop control of the entire process of resin separation, transportation, and regeneration, resulting in higher system regeneration, better effluent quality, longer service life, and lower overall operation and maintenance costs. This avoids problems such as incomplete stratification or misoperation caused by traditional manual experience-based judgment, significantly improving regeneration efficiency and water quality stability, and reducing operation and maintenance costs. The cleaning and anti-fouling component 9 is activated during monitoring intervals or within a set period. The electric actuator 91 pushes the movable frame 94, which in turn moves the connecting plate 93 and the cleaning block 92 up and down, mechanically scraping the surface of the lens of the viewing hole 7 to remove attached dirt, ensuring the continuous effectiveness of optical monitoring, guaranteeing the reliability and continuity of the fully automated operation of the system, and reducing the risk of abnormal shutdowns and the frequency of manual maintenance caused by contamination of the observation window.
