Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water purification technology, and in particular relates to an external water purification device. Background Technology
[0002] If aged or damaged filter media is not replaced in time, contaminants will accumulate inside, affecting filtration efficiency. Furthermore, the limited space in the filter media restricts its filtration capacity, making cleaning or replacement of filter cotton in external water purifiers cumbersome. Without long-term cleaning or maintenance, impurities and waste will accumulate inside the device, impacting water quality. In case of malfunctions, such as pump failure, non-professional users may find it difficult to repair themselves, requiring professional assistance and increasing maintenance costs and time. Utility Model Content
[0003] In response to the above situation, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology, such as limited installation space and the relatively troublesome maintenance and replacement of filter elements.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an external water purification device includes a separation tube, which comprises a cylindrical hollow tube and symmetrically arranged funnel-shaped gathering tubes. The cylindrical hollow tube has an adjustment port on its side, and a screening module is disposed inside the separation tube. The screening module is used to perform solid-liquid separation of stored water by means of air bubbles. The ends of the separation tube are respectively connected to a three-way pipe and a connecting pipe.
[0005] Furthermore, the screening module includes a filter plate, a venturi tube, and an air stone. The filter plate is fixed inside the separation tube, the venturi tube is fixed inside the separation tube and located at the upper part of the filter plate, and the air stone is fixed inside the separation tube and located at the lower part of the filter plate. One end of the air stone is connected to the air pump through a conduit through an adjustment port. The adjustment port is equipped with an air regulating valve, and both ends of the air regulating valve are connected to the air stone and the air pump outlet through conduits, respectively.
[0006] Furthermore, the vertical end of the three-way pipe is connected to the end of the separating pipe and the sieve pipe respectively, the other end of the sieve pipe is connected to a bottle hanger, and the other end of the three-way pipe is connected to a pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, the pipe, tee pipe, and separator pipe are respectively connected to an inlet pipe and a return pipe. The bottom of the inlet pipe is lower than the height of the gas stone, and the return pipe is connected to the other end of the tee pipe.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above structure are as follows:
[0012] By linking the filter plates, venturi tubes, and air stones in the screening module with the air pump, pipelines, tees, separation pipes, and slag discharge pipes, solid impurities in the liquid are separated in stages.

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.
[0022] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an external water purification device includes a separation tube 1, which comprises a cylindrical hollow tube and symmetrically arranged funnel-shaped gathering tubes. The cylindrical hollow tube has an adjustment port on its side, and a screening module is installed inside the separation tube 1. The screening module is used to separate the solid and liquid in the stored water by means of air bubbles. The ends of the separation tube 1 are connected to a three-way pipe 7 and a connecting pipe 8.
[0024] like Figure 2-3 As shown in -4-5-6, the screening module includes a filter plate 2, a venturi tube 3, and an air stone 4. The filter plate 2 is fixed inside the separation tube 1, the venturi tube 3 is fixed inside the separation tube 1 and located at the upper part of the filter plate 2, and the air stone 4 is fixed inside the separation tube 1 and located at the lower part of the filter plate 2. One end of the air stone 4 is connected to the air pump through a conduit through the adjustment port. The air stone 4 can be replaced with an air block, air plate, or needle brush according to specific needs. The adjustment port is equipped with an air regulating valve 5. The two ends of the air regulating valve 5 are connected to the air stone 4 and the air pump outlet through conduits, respectively. The amount of gas pumped is adjusted by the air regulating valve 5 to adjust the solid-liquid separation effect.
[0025] The vertical end of the three-way pipe 7 is connected to the end of the separation pipe 1 and the screening pipe, respectively. The other end of the screening pipe is connected to the bottle hanger 6. The other end of the three-way pipe 7 is connected to the pipe 9. The pipe 9, the three-way pipe 7, and the separation pipe 1 are respectively connected by an inlet pipe 10 and a return pipe 11. The bottom of the inlet pipe 10 is lower than the height of the gas stone 4. The return pipe 11 is connected to the other end of the three-way pipe 7. The lower end of the connecting pipe 8 is provided with a slag discharge pipe 12. The connecting pipe 8 is provided with a slag discharge valve 13. The bottom end of the venturi tube 3 is provided with through holes 14 spaced apart along the central axis of the venturi tube 3. A clamping element is provided between the three-way pipe 7 and the screening pipe. The clamping element includes a clamping module 15 and a clamping module 15. The clamping module 2 16 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the clamping module 15 and the outer side of the clamping module 2 16. Through the linkage of the filter plate 2, venturi tube 3, air stone 4, air pump, pipe 9, tee pipe 7, separation pipe 1, and slag discharge pipe 12, the solid impurities in the liquid are separated in stages. The columnar laminar flow is achieved through the porous filter plate 2, which slows down the flow rate of the liquid. Through the setting of the venturi tube 3 and through hole 14, small solid particles in the liquid are separated and settled under the action of the pull force of the liquid. The solid impurities are discharged through the slag discharge valve 13. The bottle hanger 6 at the upper end of the sieve pipe continues to separate and collect the impurities after the bubbles are sieved.
[0026] In practice, the inlet pipe 10 and the separator pipe 1 are first filled with water. The gas pumped in generates continuous and dense bubbles through the air stone 4, which accelerates the fluid flow and creates a pressure difference on the outer side of the lower end of the inlet pipe 10. This forces the water in the cylinder from the inlet pipe 10 into the lower end of the filter plate 2 in the separator pipe 1, and then back into the cylinder through the return pipe 11. During this process, the turbulent flow through the porous filter plate 2 achieves columnar laminar flow, slowing down the liquid flow rate. The tensile force of the liquid on the particles is less than the weight of the particles, achieving the separation and sedimentation of solids. Meanwhile, the water containing fine particles forms a vortex in the Venturi tube 3 structure. The flow direction of the solid particles is opposite to that of the liquid, promoting their separation. The solid particles settle from the gaps on both sides of the Venturi tower to the distribution plate, and then further deposit at the bottom of the separator pipe 1. The filtered water returns to the cylinder through the return pipe 11, and this cycle repeats. The operator opens the slag discharge valve 13 to periodically remove the solid impurities accumulated at the bottom.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art, inspired by this description, design similar structural methods and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
