Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, and more specifically, to an aerobic tank hydraulic stirring device. Background Technology
[0002] The aerobic tank is a crucial component of the wastewater treatment process. Its core function is to ensure sufficient dissolved oxygen in the tank through aeration and other means, providing conditions for the reproduction of aerobic microorganisms. This allows them to decompose organic matter in the water into inorganic matter, remove COD and BOD, and initiate nitrification, thereby reducing pollutant concentrations. To ensure water circulation within the tank, eliminate stagnant areas, prevent activated sludge sedimentation, and improve oxygen dissolution efficiency and the rates of oxidation and nitrification reactions, a stirrer is required.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used types of agitators are long-shaft vertical agitators and submersible mechanical agitators, which have problems such as high energy consumption, significant wear, high requirements for sealing and lubrication systems, and high operating and maintenance costs.
[0004] To ensure effective mixing while reducing operating energy consumption and costs, and extending the service life of the mixing device, a new type of aerobic tank hydraulic mixing device is needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides a hydraulic stirring device for aerobic tanks to solve the problems of short service life and high operating costs of existing aerobic tank stirring equipment.
[0006] According to one aspect of this utility model, a hydraulic stirring device for an aerobic tank is provided. The stirring device is installed on both sides of the short side of the aerobic tank, and a partition wall is provided in the middle of the aerobic tank. The stirring device includes a main outlet pipe and multiple branch outlet pipes connected to the main outlet pipe. Multiple mounting holes are provided on the short side wall of the aerobic tank. The branch outlet pipes pass through the mounting holes and extend into the aerobic tank. A mixer is connected to the end of the branch outlet pipe. The mixer includes an inlet pipe, a mixing body, and a conical diffuser. One side of the inlet pipe is connected to the branch outlet pipe, and the other end of the inlet pipe extends into the mixing body. The diffuser is installed in the mixing body and is arranged opposite to the inlet pipe. An air outlet is provided at the top of the mixing body.

[0029] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a hydraulic stirring device for an aerobic tank 8, which is installed on both sides of the short side of the aerobic tank 8. A partition wall 81 is provided in the middle of the aerobic tank 8, which divides the aerobic tank 8 into an upper part and a lower part. The upper part and the lower part are connected by the gap between the partition wall 81 and the aerobic tank 8, which is used to separate the tank body and guide the water flow path.
[0031] The stirring device of this utility model includes an inlet pipe 21, an outlet main pipe 33 and outlet branch pipes 34. The outlet main pipe 33 is connected to multiple outlet branch pipes 34, and the outlet main pipe 33 is connected to an outlet pipe 31 through a three-way valve 32. A water pump 1 is installed on the outlet pipe 31, preferably a variable frequency circulating pump.
[0032] Specifically, this utility model has multiple mounting holes on the short side wall of the aerobic tank 8, and they are symmetrically arranged with the central partition wall 81 as the axis of symmetry to ensure that the water flow of the stirring devices on both sides is evenly distributed and to avoid the formation of dead water areas in the tank; the water outlet branch pipe 34 passes through the water stop sleeve 5 and is installed in the mounting hole, and the water outlet branch pipe 34 extends into the aerobic tank 8, and its end is connected to the mixer 4.
[0033] In this invention, an inlet pipe 21 is installed on the wall of the aerobic tank 8, near the partition wall 81, via a water-stop sleeve 5. The output end of the inlet pipe 21 is connected to an elbow 22, with the output end of the elbow 22 facing the bottom of the aerobic tank 8. Wastewater is injected into the bottom of the tank through the inlet pipe 21 and the elbow 22, which can work synergistically with the water flow generated by the stirring device to further promote water circulation.
[0034] Please continue reading. Figure 4 As shown, a mixer 4 is connected to the end of the outlet branch pipe 34. The mixer 4 includes an inlet pipe 41, a mixing body 44, and a cone-shaped diffuser 45. One side of the inlet pipe 41 is connected to the outlet branch pipe 34, and the other end of the inlet pipe 41 extends into the mixing body 44. The diffuser 45 is installed in the mixing body 44 and is positioned opposite to the inlet pipe 41. An air outlet 46 is provided at the top of the mixing body 44. An oxygen supply main pipe 72 is connected to the bottom of the mixing body 44 through an oxygen supply branch pipe 73. A water pump 1 is connected to the outlet main pipe 33, and a variable frequency fan 6 is connected to the oxygen supply main pipe 72 through a check valve 71.
[0035] During operation, wastewater is introduced into the aerobic tank 8 through the inlet pipe 21. A variable frequency blower 6 delivers air into the oxygenation main pipe 72, which then enters the mixing body 44 via the oxygenation branch pipe 73. There, the air mixes thoroughly with the high-speed water flow within the spherical mixing body 44, forming a mixture of fine bubbles and water. This mixture is then evenly released into the water body through the top air outlet 46. This process not only oxygenates the water body but also enhances the stirring effect through the kinetic energy of the gas-liquid mixture, thereby improving oxygen dissolution efficiency and microbial reaction rate.
[0036] The hydraulic mixing device in this embodiment achieves mixing and oxygenation through the synergistic effect of water flow and air, eliminating the need for a mechanical agitator. This avoids the high energy consumption and high wear problems associated with long-shaft vertical or submersible agitators, and reduces the maintenance costs of the sealing and lubrication systems. Simultaneously, the variable frequency fan 6 can adjust the air supply based on real-time dissolved oxygen data, further optimizing energy consumption; the symmetrically arranged mixing devices ensure uniform water flow within the tank, improving wastewater treatment efficiency.
[0037] Based on the above embodiments, the diameter and number of air outlets 46 can be adjusted according to the tank volume. For example, in a large aerobic tank 8, the number of air outlets 46 can be increased to 12 or more, evenly distributed on the top of the mixture 44 to improve oxygenation efficiency. Furthermore, the nozzle 42 can adopt a tapered structure to further increase the water flow velocity, enhance turbulence, and optimize mixing uniformity. Finally, the method of this application is only a preferred embodiment and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
