Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically an inclined plate with a mud guide groove. Background Technology
[0002] Suspended and colloidal substances in natural water have very small particle sizes. To remove these substances, an appropriate coagulant is usually added to the raw water. After thorough mixing, the colloidal stability is disrupted, and the substances are adsorbed onto the polymer phase of the coagulant in the water medium. This causes the flocculating particles to aggregate in contact with each other, forming larger flocs that then enter a subsequent sedimentation tank for sedimentation treatment.
[0003] However, many water treatment plants currently use inclined tube or inclined plate sedimentation tanks. Among them, inclined plate sedimentation tanks come in three forms: upflow, sideflow, and downflow. In sideflow inclined plate sedimentation tanks, ordinary inclined plates are installed, which sometimes result in unsatisfactory sedimentation effects, affecting the quality of the effluent.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0026] Example
[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment of the present invention provides an inclined plate with a mud guide groove, comprising:
[0028] The side-flow inclined plate sedimentation tank 1 includes an inclined plate 2 installed in the inner cavity of the side-flow inclined plate sedimentation tank 1, an inlet perforated flower wall 3 opened on one side of the side-flow inclined plate sedimentation tank 1, an outlet perforated flower wall 4 opened on the other side of the side-flow inclined plate sedimentation tank 1, and a sludge collection hopper 5 installed at the bottom of the side-flow inclined plate sedimentation tank 1.
[0029] The surface of the inclined plate 2 is provided with parallel mud guide plates 21, and a mud guide groove 22 is provided between adjacent mud guide plates 21. The height of the mud guide plates 21 is 1 / 5 to 1 / 4 of the distance between the inclined plates 2, and the width of the mud guide groove 22 is 20 to 30 mm.
[0030] It should be noted that after installing the inclined plate 2 with sludge guide groove in the side flow inclined plate sedimentation tank 1, several sludge guide grooves 22 are formed on the inclined plate 2. As the water flows slowly from the inlet side to the outlet side, the inclined plate 2 will intercept a part of the flocculent in the water into the sludge guide groove 22, which is conducive to the rapid sedimentation of the flocculent. The turbidity of the sedimentation tank effluent will be lower, effectively improving the sedimentation efficiency and sedimentation effect of the side flow inclined plate sedimentation tank 1.
[0031] Specifically, the installation angle of the inclined plate 2 is 50-60°, the width is 1-1.2m, the length is 1.2-1.5m, and the net distance between adjacent inclined plates 2 is 80-100mm.
[0032] Furthermore, the inclined plate 2 adopts an installation angle of 50-60°, which can optimize the balance between sedimentation efficiency and sludge removal effect. The design of 1-1.2m width and 1.2-1.5m length ensures sedimentation area and facilitates installation and maintenance. The 80-100mm net distance of the inclined plate ensures floc settling space and avoids water flow disturbance from affecting the sedimentation effect.
[0033] Specifically, the side-flow inclined plate sedimentation tank 1 also includes a sludge discharge pipe 6 located at the end of the sludge collection hopper 5, a water collection trough 7 located on one side of the perforated flower wall 4 on the effluent side, and an effluent pipe 8 located at the bottom of the water collection trough 7.
[0034] Furthermore, the design of the sludge discharge pipe 6 and the sludge collection hopper 5 enables continuous sludge discharge, and the optimized structure of the water collection tank 7 and the water outlet pipe 8 ensures the uniformity of water discharge and stable collection of clear water after sedimentation. The entire system can complete the sludge discharge operation without stopping the machine, thus improving operating efficiency.
[0035] Specifically, the mud guide plate 21 and the inclined plate 2 are integrated into one structure, and the extension direction forms an angle of 15-30° with the water flow direction.
[0036] Furthermore, the integrated structure of the mud guide plate 21 and the inclined plate 2 enhances the overall strength. The 15-30° angle design can guide the flocculants to slide down the mud guide channel 22 in an orderly manner, avoid sludge accumulation, reduce the interference of water flow on the sedimentation process, and improve the interception effect.
[0037] Specifically, the material of inclined plate 2 is selected from stainless steel, PE, PVC, ethylene-propylene copolymer, polypropylene, or polyvinyl chloride.
[0038] Furthermore, the inclined plate 2 is made of corrosion-resistant and high-strength materials (stainless steel, PE and PVC) to ensure long-term operational stability. Different material selections can adapt to different water quality environments, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce maintenance costs.
[0039] Specifically, the side-flow inclined plate sedimentation tank 1 is equipped with a PLC automatic control system to realize the automated operation of sludge discharge and water level regulation.
[0040] Furthermore, the PLC automatic control system enables precise control of sludge discharge frequency and water level adjustment, improving operational stability, reducing manual intervention, and making sedimentation tank 1 more flexible and efficient in dealing with water quality fluctuations.
[0041] Specifically, the cross-section of the mud guide channel 22 is trapezoidal, and its depth gradually increases along the direction of water flow.
[0042] Furthermore, the trapezoidal cross-section and gradually deepening design of the sludge guide trough 22 facilitates the aggregation and sliding of flocs, prevents sludge backflow, optimizes water flow distribution, enhances sedimentation effect, and further reduces effluent turbidity.
[0043] In use, raw water is evenly distributed into sedimentation tank 1 through perforated flower wall 3 on the inlet side. The water flows horizontally along the surface of inclined plate 2. During the flow, the flocculent is efficiently intercepted by sludge guide channel 22 and slides down sludge guide plate 21 to sludge collection hopper 5. The settled clear water flows into water collection trough 7 through perforated flower wall 4 on the outlet side and is discharged through water outlet pipe 8. The intercepted sludge slides into sludge collection hopper 5 along sludge guide channel 22 under gravity and is discharged through sludge discharge pipe 6 at regular intervals or continuously. The whole process is fully automatic under PLC control and the sludge discharge operation can be completed without stopping the machine, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the sedimentation tank.
[0044] In summary, by installing a special inclined plate 2 with a sludge guide plate 21 and a sludge guide trough 22 in the lateral flow inclined plate sedimentation tank 1, combined with the perforated flower wall 3 on the inlet side, the perforated flower wall 4 on the outlet side, and the sludge collection hopper 5, the sedimentation effect is significantly improved. The special structural design of the sludge guide trough 22 can effectively enhance the interception of flocculants, resulting in a significant reduction in effluent turbidity. The inclined arrangement of the inclined plate 2, combined with the sludge collection hopper 5 and the sludge discharge pipe 6, forms a highly efficient sludge collection system, which not only improves the space utilization of the sedimentation tank, but also enhances the device's adaptability to fluctuations in raw water quality. The entire device operates stably and reliably, can achieve automated control, and has outstanding advantages such as simple structure, high treatment efficiency, and convenient maintenance.
