Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture water purification technology, and in particular to a protein skimmer water purification device. Background Technology

[0002] In aquaculture water, feed that is not fully consumed by the cultured organisms will decompose in the water, releasing protein. The excrement of the cultured organisms contains a large amount of protein, and the metabolic processes of the cultured organisms and microorganisms also produce protein. The decomposition of protein produces harmful substances such as ammonia nitrogen and nitrite, which provide nutrients for pathogenic microorganisms and increase the risk of disease. The decomposition of protein consumes a large amount of oxygen, leading to hypoxia in the water and threatening the survival of the cultured organisms.

[0003] Protein foam separation is mainly achieved through physical and chemical means. Common methods include foam separation, filtration, chemical flocculation, and biodegradation. In this method, bubbles adsorb proteins and organic matter in the water and are discharged after forming foam. However, this technology relies on a single air pump and venturi tube to produce bubbles, and the size and distribution of the bubbles are uneven, resulting in low adsorption efficiency of organic matter. In aquaculture water, the protein separation efficiency of foam separation is poor. Therefore, we propose a protein separator water purification device to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a protein separator water purification device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a protein skimmer water purification device, comprising a treatment tank, a pump housing, a motor, a driven shaft, and a rotating shaft. The motor is fixed above the treatment tank, and a rotating shaft is provided at the output end of the motor. A gear is sleeved on the lower outer wall of the rotating shaft. A mounting shaft arranged in a circular array is rotatably mounted on the lower inner wall of the treatment tank. Blades arranged in a circular array are provided on the upper outer wall of the mounting shaft. A ring-shaped array of blades is provided inside the treatment tank and sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft. The annular box has equidistantly distributed air holes at its upper interior. An annular tube is fitted around the outside of the annular box, and the annular tube is connected to the annular box via a connecting pipe. A pump casing is provided on one side of the processing box, and the pump casing is connected to the annular tube via a conveying pipe. A driven shaft is rotatably mounted inside the pump casing. An impeller rotatably mounted inside the pump casing is fitted around the outer wall of the driven shaft. A rotating plate is fitted around the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A spring is provided at the lower end of the rotating plate. A mounting plate is provided at the lower end of the spring. A rubber scraper is provided at the lower end of the mounting plate.

[0006] Preferably, one end of the treatment tank is provided with a discharge trough recessed inside the treatment tank, and the lower inner wall of the discharge trough is provided with a guide surface. Foam floating on the water surface inside the treatment tank is transported to the outside through the discharge trough, and the guide surface guides the poured foam.

[0007] Preferably, a support frame is sleeved on the outer wall of the processing box, and the support frame is rotatably mounted to the driven shaft. The support frame provides rotatable support for the driven shaft and also supports the lower end of the processing box.

[0008] Preferably, a drive wheel is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a driven shaft is sleeved on the upper outer wall of the driven shaft. Both the drive wheel and the driven wheel are fitted with belts. When the drive wheel rotates, the driven wheel rotates due to the linkage of the belts.

[0009] Preferably, the radius of the drive wheel is larger than that of the driven shaft, one end of the treatment tank is connected to a water inlet pipe, and the motor frame is connected to the treatment tank. When the drive wheel rotates, it accelerates the driven wheel through the belt linkage, and because the radius of the drive wheel is larger than that of the driven shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the upper part of the treatment box is provided with a partition located at the lower end of the annular box, and the rotating shaft and the mounting shaft are rotatably mounted inside the partition. The partition isolates gear one and gear two, avoiding resistance from the treated aquaculture water.

[0011] Preferably, a first gear is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a second gear, which meshes with the first gear, is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting shaft. The first gear has more teeth than the second gear. When the first gear rotates, it pushes the second gear, and since the first gear has more teeth than the second gear, the first gear accelerates the second gear.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the mounting plate is provided with a guide rod located inside the spring, and the rotating plate has a through hole inside, with the upper end of the guide rod slidably inserted into the through hole. When the spring extends or retracts longitudinally, the guide rod slides inside the through hole to guide the spring and prevent it from shifting outward.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model transports aquaculture water into the treatment tank, and gas is pumped into the annular pipe through the pump casing and diverted into the annular box. Bubbles are output from several air holes inside the upper end of the annular box. The bubbles adsorb proteins and organic matter in the water, forming foam on the water surface at the upper end of the treatment tank. The foam is discharged by a rotating rubber scraper. During this process, the annular box is arranged in a ring array. After the bubbles are generated, they are cut by the blade and cut into several dense small bubbles, so that the bubbles are evenly distributed. The foam separation method has a good effect on the separation of proteins in aquaculture water. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model proposes a protein skimmer water purification device, which includes a treatment tank 1, a pump housing 3, a motor 8, a driven shaft 6, and a rotating shaft 26. The motor 8 is fixed above the treatment tank 1, and the rotating shaft 26 is located at the output end of the motor 8. A gear 15 is sleeved on the lower outer wall of the rotating shaft 26. A mounting shaft 17 arranged in a circular array is rotatably mounted on the lower inner wall of the treatment tank 1. Blades 18 arranged in a circular array are located on the upper outer wall of the mounting shaft 17. Inside the box 1, there is an annular box 22 arranged in a ring array and sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 17. The upper end of the annular box 22 has equidistantly distributed air holes 29. An annular tube 19 is sleeved on the outside of the annular box 22. The annular tube 19 and the annular box 22 are connected through a connecting tube 21. A pump casing 3 is provided on one side of the processing box 1. The pump casing 3 is connected to the annular tube 19 through a conveying tube 20. A driven shaft 6 is rotatably installed inside the pump casing 3. An impeller 14 is rotatably installed inside the pump casing 3 and sleeved on the outer wall of the driven shaft 6.

[0023] A support frame 4 is sleeved on the outer wall of the processing box 1, and the support frame 4 is rotatably installed with the driven shaft 6.

[0024] A drive wheel 2 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 26, and a driven shaft 6 is sleeved on the upper outer wall of the driven shaft 6. Both the drive wheel 2 and the driven wheel 12 are sleeved on the outer walls of the drive wheel 2 and the driven wheel 12.

[0025] The radius of the drive wheel 2 is larger than that of the driven shaft 6. One end of the treatment box 1 is connected to the water inlet pipe 11. The motor 8 is connected to the treatment box 1 through the frame 10.

[0026] The upper end of the processing box 1 is provided with a partition 23 located at the lower end of the annular box 22. The rotating shaft 26 and the mounting shaft 17 are rotatably mounted inside the partition 23.

[0027] Gear 15 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 26, and gear 2 16, which meshes with gear 15, is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting shaft 17. The number of teeth of gear 15 is greater than that of gear 2 16.

[0028] Based on the implementation steps of Example 1: After the aquaculture water is used, it is transported to the treatment tank 1 through the inlet pipe 11. At this time, the motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 26 to rotate, and the belt 7 drives the drive wheel 2 and the driven wheel 12 to rotate, thereby driving the driven shaft 6 to rotate. The driven wheel 12 rotates inside the pump casing 3, drawing in the outside gas into the pump casing 3, and transporting it to the annular pipe 19 through the delivery pipe 20, and then diverting it into the annular box 22 which is distributed in an annular array. At the same time, it is output through the air hole 29. The air bubbles form bubbles in the water, adsorbing and lifting the proteins and organic matter in the water, forming foam on the surface of the water. The microorganisms and proteins and other solids produced during the aquaculture process are separated.

[0029] Meanwhile, as the rotating shaft 26 rotates, it drives the gear 16 to rotate via the gear 15, which in turn drives the mounting shaft 17 to rotate, causing the blade 18 to rotate at an accelerated speed. The blade 18 cuts the bubbles into dense small bubbles, which improves the separation and absorption of proteins. This results in the bubbles being evenly distributed in the water. Furthermore, the gas source and the power source for the rotation of the blade 18 are the same motor 8, which reduces energy consumption during use and improves the efficiency of protein separation in water through foam separation.

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, compared with Embodiment 1, the protein separator water purification equipment proposed in this utility model further includes: a rotating plate 9 sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 26, a spring 28 provided at the lower end of the rotating plate 9, an installation plate 27 provided at the lower end of the spring 28, and a rubber scraper 25 provided at the lower end of the installation plate 27.

[0031] One end of the treatment box 1 is provided with a discharge trough 5 recessed inside the treatment box 1, and the lower inner wall of the discharge trough 5 is provided with a guide surface.

[0032] The upper end of the mounting plate 27 is provided with a guide rod 13 located inside the spring 28, and the rotating plate 9 has a through hole 24 inside, and the upper end of the guide rod 13 is slidably inserted into the through hole 24.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 26 to rotate, it drives the rotating plate 9 to rotate. The rotating plate 9 drives the mounting plate 27 and the rubber scraper 25 to rotate. The rubber scraper 25 pushes the foam on the water body. When it passes through the opening of the discharge trough 5, the rubber scraper 25 pushes the foam into the discharge trough 5 and discharges it to the outside. At the same time, when the rubber scraper 25 passes through the discharge trough 5 during use, the mounting plate 27 is compressed due to the elastic support of the spring 28, which provides longitudinal stroke compensation for the rubber scraper 25. The rubber scraper 25 effectively passes through the discharge trough 5. During the aquaculture water treatment, the solids such as proteins separated from the water body are automatically discharged, which helps to facilitate the treatment of aquaculture water.
