Solar powered aerator

Abstract

This utility model relates to a solar-powered aeration device, comprising a base, a water pump, a support frame, a solar panel, an inlet pipe, and an aeration assembly. The water pump is installed inside the base, with its input end connected to the inlet pipe. The end of the inlet pipe away from the water pump extends to the outside of the base. The support frame is detachably mounted on the top of the base and supports the solar panel. The aeration assembly is installed on the outside of the base and connected to the output end of the water pump. When the water pump is operating, a negative pressure is created in the inlet pipe, allowing air to automatically enter and mix with the water, achieving the initial water-air mixing process.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to a solar-powered aeration device. Background Technology

[0002] In various aquatic environments, such as ponds, small lakes, and aquaculture ponds, dissolved oxygen levels play a crucial role in the survival of aquatic organisms, water quality stability, and ecosystem balance. Insufficient dissolved oxygen levels can lead to the death of aquatic organisms due to oxygen deprivation, affecting the yield and quality of aquaculture, and also causing water quality deterioration, such as excessive algae growth and the accumulation of harmful substances.

[0003] Traditional aeration methods primarily rely on electrically driven aeration equipment, such as blowers and aerators. While these devices can increase dissolved oxygen levels in water to some extent, they consume significant amounts of electricity, increasing operating costs and limiting their use in remote areas or locations with unstable power supplies. Solar energy, as an inexhaustible and clean energy source, offers advantages such as being pollution-free and widely distributed. Converting it into electricity for use in aeration devices has significant practical implications.

[0004] However, existing solar aeration devices still have some shortcomings in terms of structure and function: the aeration effect of the devices is not good, and they cannot effectively and evenly disperse air into the water, resulting in low dissolved oxygen efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a solar-powered aeration device that solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a solar aeration device, comprising a base, a water pump, a bracket, a solar panel, an inlet pipe, and an aeration assembly. The water pump is installed inside the base, and its input end is connected to the inlet pipe. The end of the inlet pipe away from the water pump extends to the outside of the base. The bracket is detachably installed and fixed on the top of the base, and is used to support the installation of the solar panel. The aeration assembly is installed on the outside of the base and is connected to the output end of the water pump. The aeration assembly includes an outlet pipe, a diversion pipe, multiple spray pipes, and a flow-retarding box. The two ends of the outlet pipe are respectively connected to the output end of the water pump and the diversion pipe. The multiple spray pipes are connected to the diversion pipe at intervals. The flow-retarding box is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base, and a layer of porous granular material is laid inside the flow-retarding box below the multiple spray pipes.

[0009] Preferably, the water inlet pipe includes a water inlet section and an air inlet section. The upper end of the water inlet section is connected to the input end of the water pump, and the lower end of the water inlet section extends into the water source. The air inlet section is connected to the top of the water inlet section, and the top of the air inlet section has an opening communicating with its inner cavity. The water inlet pipe also includes a filter screen, which is detachably installed and fixed at the lower end of the water inlet section.

[0010] In a further preferred embodiment, the top of the jet pipe is provided with a plurality of jet holes that communicate with its inner cavity at axial intervals.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a solar-powered aeration device with the following advantages:

[0015] The inlet pipe employs a combined water inlet section and air inlet section design. The lower end of the water inlet section extends into the water source, effectively drawing water. The air inlet section is connected to the top of the water inlet section and forms an opening. When the water pump is operating, a negative pressure is created within the inlet pipe, allowing air to automatically enter and mix with the water, achieving the initial water-air mixing process. Furthermore, the aeration components, through the cooperation of the outlet pipe, diversion pipe, and multiple spray pipes, evenly disperse the water-air mixture into the slow-flow box. The porous granules laid in the slow-flow box further increase the contact area and time between the water-air mixture and the air, allowing the air to dissolve more fully in the water, significantly improving aeration efficiency and dissolved oxygen levels in the water. In addition, the spaced arrangement of multiple spray pipes expands the aeration range, enabling more comprehensive aeration treatment of the water. This device utilizes solar energy as a power source, eliminating the need for traditional electricity, greatly reducing operating costs, and minimizing environmental pollution, aligning with the concept of green and environmentally friendly development.

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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A solar-powered aeration device includes a base 10, a water pump 20, a support 30, a solar panel 40, an inlet pipe 50, and an aeration assembly 60. The water pump 20 is installed inside the base 10, and its input end is connected to the inlet pipe 50. The end of the inlet pipe 50 away from the water pump 20 extends to the outside of the base 10 and into a water source, allowing the water pump 20 to draw water from the water source. The aeration assembly 60 is installed on the outside of the base 10 and connected to the output end of the water pump 20. The water drawn by the water pump 20 is output through the aeration assembly 60, achieving mixing and contact between the water and air. The support 30 is detachably mounted on the top of the base 10 and supports the solar panel 40. The solar panel 40 receives sunlight to generate electricity and, together with a battery and other components installed inside the base 10, provides energy to the water pump 20.

[0022] In this embodiment, the base 10 is configured with an opening at the top communicating with its internal cavity. The opening of the base 10 can be covered by a top cover 11, and the top cover 11 and the base 10 can be connected and fixed using fasteners such as bolts and screws. A threaded sleeve 111 is formed on the top of the top cover 11 to mate with the bracket 30. The bracket 30 includes a shaft 31 and a support plate 32. The lower end of the shaft 31 can be inserted into the threaded sleeve 111, and the connection between the shaft 31 and the threaded sleeve 111 is completed by screwing them together. The upper end of the shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the support plate 32, which supports and fixes the solar panel 40.

[0023] See Figure 2The water inlet pipe 50 may include a water inlet section 51, an air inlet section 52, and a filter screen 53. The upper end of the water inlet section 51 is connected to the input end of the water pump 20, and the lower end of the water inlet section 51 extends into the water source. The air inlet section 52 is connected to the top of the water inlet section 51, and its top end has an opening communicating with its inner cavity. The water inlet pipe adopts a design combining the water inlet section and the air inlet section. The lower end of the water inlet section extends into the water source, effectively drawing water. The air inlet section is connected to the top of the water inlet section and forms an opening. When the water pump is working, a negative pressure can be formed in the water inlet pipe, allowing air to automatically enter and mix with the water, achieving the initial process of water-air mixing. The filter screen 53 is detachably installed and fixed to the lower end of the water inlet section 51. The filter screen 53 is used to reduce impurities in the water source from entering the water inlet pipe 50.

[0024] See Figure 3 The aeration assembly 60 includes an outlet pipe 61, a diversion pipe 62, multiple spray pipes 63, and a flow-regulating box 64. The two ends of the outlet pipe 61 are connected to the output end of the water pump 20 and the diversion pipe 62, respectively. The multiple spray pipes 63 are connected to the diversion pipe 62 at intervals, allowing water output from the outlet pipe 61 to be diverted into the multiple spray pipes 63 via the diversion pipe 62. Multiple spray holes 631 communicating with the inner cavity of each spray pipe 63 are formed at intervals along its axial direction at the top of the spray pipe 63, allowing water in the spray pipe 63 to be sprayed outwards through the spray holes 631. The flow-regulating box 64 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 10, and a layer of porous granular material is laid inside the flow-regulating box 64 below the multiple spray pipes 63. Furthermore, the aeration assembly, through the cooperation of the outlet pipe, diversion pipe, and multiple spray pipes, evenly disperses the water-air mixture into the slow-flow box. The porous granules laid in the slow-flow box further increase the contact area and time between the water-air mixture and the air, allowing the air to dissolve more fully in the water, greatly improving aeration efficiency and dissolved oxygen levels in the water. In addition, the spaced arrangement of multiple spray pipes expands the aeration range, enabling more comprehensive aeration treatment of the water. The micropores in the porous granules laid in the slow-flow box 64 provide numerous attachment sites for nitrifying bacteria in the water, allowing them to stably inhabit and reproduce, thus enabling them to better serve water purification and stabilize the ecosystem.
