Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a short-flow prevention cover for a multi-layer vortex grit chamber, and particularly to the field of wastewater treatment technology. Background Technology
[0002] In wastewater treatment, multi-layer vortex grit chambers are often used as pretreatment units, primarily to remove sand and gravel from raw water. These chambers utilize flow guiding components to evenly distribute water tangentially across the surfaces of the various layers of discs, creating a vortex. Under the influence of gravity and centrifugal force, sand and gravel settle onto the surfaces of the discs. Simultaneously, the swirling action of the vortex causes the settled sand particles to rapidly converge at the central holes of the discs, eventually accumulating in the sand storage area at the bottom of the equipment. The treated wastewater then flows out through the overflow weir, thus achieving the removal of sand particles from the wastewater. However, the following problems often arise during actual operation:
[0003] In ideal operation, the stacked discs inside the multi-layer vortex grit chamber divide the water in the chamber into two parts: an outer clear water zone and an inner turbid water zone. The clear water zone and the turbid water zone are connected at the bottom. In the clear water zone near the chamber wall, the water flows upward, while in the turbid water zone near the center of the chamber, the water flows downward. However, in actual operation, the turbid water zone inside the stacked discs may experience upward flow due to the disturbance of incoming water, resulting in short-circuiting. Furthermore, the deposited silt and sand may be disturbed and floated up again due to the water flow or may fail to settle. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a short-flow prevention cover for a multi-layer vortex grit chamber to overcome the defect in the prior art where short-flow of ash occurs in the turbid water zone inside the stacked plate assembly due to inlet water disturbance.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model discloses a short-flow prevention cover for a multi-layer vortex grit chamber, including a stacked plate assembly. The top of the stacked plate assembly is provided with a short-flow prevention cover. The bottom outer edge of the short-flow prevention cover is provided with a gap between the upper wall of the first stacked plate of the stacked plate assembly to ensure smooth water discharge from the first stacked plate. The short-flow prevention cover is suspended on a fixed support located above it by an adjustable hanger. The fixed support is connected to a fixed support of the stacked plate assembly. The fixed support of the stacked plate assembly is fixed to the side wall of the concrete tank by brackets.
[0007] Furthermore, the anti-short-flow cover plate includes a frustum-shaped cover plate, with at least two fixed lifting lugs evenly distributed on the upper surface of the frustum-shaped cover plate, and a central ring welded to the top of the frustum-shaped cover plate to enhance the stability of the frustum-shaped cover plate and reserve a channel for the installation, inspection and maintenance of the submersible sand pump.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjustable hanger includes a fixed hanger rod, an adjusting screw rod is provided above the fixed hanger rod, and a stainless steel screw rod is provided at the bottom of the fixed hanger rod. The adjusting screw rod passes through a reserved hole provided on the fixed bracket, and the position of the adjusting screw rod is adjusted and fixed by rotating the fixing nut.
[0009] Furthermore, a stainless steel plate is provided at the bottom of the fixed lifting lug and welded to the upper surface of the frustum-shaped cover plate. A fixed round steel bar is welded to the stainless steel plate, and a transverse opening is provided at the upper part of the fixed round steel bar.
[0010] Furthermore, the end of the stainless steel screw is provided with a stainless steel pin for preventing it from retracting.
[0011] Furthermore, the transverse opening allows the stainless steel screw to pass through for fixing the adjustable hanger. The bottom of the fixed hanger is provided with a groove, and the vertical groove is provided with a round hole for the stainless steel screw to pass through. The anti-short flow cover is inserted into the groove at the bottom of the fixed hanger through the fixed lug.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment range of the adjusting screw is 80mm to adapt to changes in the water volume processed by the stacked disc assembly.
[0013] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: the gap between the bottom edge of the anti-short-flow cover and the upper surface of the first layer of the internal stacked disc assembly is calculated according to the water treatment capacity of the stacked discs to meet the basic water discharge requirements. At the same time, the gap is adjustable through a special structural design, with an adjustment range of 80mm, to adapt to changes in the water treatment capacity of the stacked discs without affecting the water distribution and treatment efficiency of the stacked discs. It also avoids the reduction in sand removal efficiency caused by changes in the flow pattern and direction of the turbid water zone in the center of the stacked disc assembly. The anti-short-flow cover has an opening in the center to meet the requirements for installation, inspection, and maintenance of the submersible sand lifting pump. Attached Figure Description
