Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to a flocculation sedimentation device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when using flocculation sedimentation in wastewater treatment, large amounts of polyaluminum chloride (PAC) or polyacrylamide (PAM) are typically added as flocculants. This causes settleable substances in the wastewater to agglomerate and form larger flocs during sedimentation, which are then separated from the water through sedimentation or flotation. However, the sedimentation effect usually needs to be monitored and evaluated to allow for subsequent improvements.

[0003] Currently, during the observation and evaluation process, a glass plate and a backlight plate are vertically arranged to form a water tank through which water flows. One side is the inlet, and the other side is the outlet. Water flowing into the tank during the settling process enters from one inlet and exits from the other. Then, a camera unit on one side of the glass plate takes real-time photos of the water flowing through the tank to observe the real-time floc state and identify the settling effect of the water flowing through the tank.

[0004] However, the information obtained solely through real-time photography is not accurate enough, its comparative value is insufficient, and the results are not precise enough. Therefore, further improvements are possible. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a flocculation sedimentation device to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A flocculation and sedimentation device includes a glass plate and a backlight plate arranged vertically opposite each other, forming a water tank through which water flows. A camera unit is arranged on the outside of the glass plate for observing the flocculation and sedimentation of the water flowing through the water tank through the glass plate. A vertically downward-facing syringe-shaped transparent tube is also arranged between the camera unit and the glass plate. A piston head is arranged inside the syringe-shaped transparent tube, and a drive unit is arranged at the top of the syringe-shaped transparent tube for controlling the up and down movement of the piston head. A water pipe is connected to the bottom of the syringe-shaped transparent tube and is controlled to open and close by a valve.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when conducting flocculation and sedimentation observation and evaluation, on the one hand, a camera unit takes real-time photos of the water flowing through the water tank through a glass plate. Since the water in the tank between the glass plate and the backlight plate is flowing, the real-time state of the flocs can be observed. On the other hand, water is pumped into a syringe-shaped transparent tube through a water pipe, and then the camera unit takes time-lapse photos of the water in the syringe-shaped transparent tube at intervals (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes) to observe the state of the flocs and the supernatant during the delay. Therefore, through both real-time and delayed judgment, the results are more accurate.

[0009] Optionally, a brush is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the piston head.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, during the water pumping process, the brush moves up and down with the piston head to clean the cylinder wall.

[0011] Optionally, the drive unit includes a cylinder, which is vertically fixed to the top of the syringe-shaped transparent tube, and the top of the piston head is connected to the piston rod end of the cylinder.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a cylinder is used to control the piston head to move up and down. When the piston head moves up, water is drawn into the syringe-shaped transparent tube; when the piston head moves down, water is discharged from the syringe-shaped transparent tube.

[0013] Optionally, the piston head and the piston rod end of the cylinder are detachably connected.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, since the piston head and the piston rod end of the cylinder are detachably connected, it is convenient to disassemble and replace the piston head.

[0015] Optionally, the brush and the piston head are detachably connected.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, since the brush and piston head are detachably connected, it is easy to disassemble and replace the brush.

[0017] Optionally, both the upper and lower ends of the piston head are chamfered.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. When conducting flocculation and sedimentation observation and evaluation, on the one hand, a camera unit is used to take real-time photos of the water flowing through a water tank through a glass plate. Since the water in the tank between the glass plate and the backlight is flowing, the real-time floc state can be observed. On the other hand, water is pumped into a syringe-shaped transparent tube through a water pipe, and then the camera unit takes time-lapse photos of the water in the syringe-shaped transparent tube at time intervals (e.g., 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes) to observe the floc state over the delayed time. Therefore, by combining real-time and delayed judgments, the results are more accurate.

[0020] 2. During the pumping and draining process, the brush moves up and down with the piston head to clean the cylinder wall. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the flocculation and sedimentation device provided by this utility model includes a glass plate 1 and a backlight plate 2 arranged vertically opposite each other, forming a water tank 3 through which water flows. A camera unit 4 is arranged on the outer side of the glass plate 1 for observing the flocculation and sedimentation of the water flowing through the water tank 3 through the glass plate 1. During the flocculation and sedimentation observation and evaluation work, the camera unit 4 is used to take real-time pictures of the water flowing through the water tank 3 through the glass plate 1. Since the water in the water tank 3 between the glass plate 1 and the backlight plate 2 is flowing, the real-time state of the flocs can be observed.

[0027] In this embodiment, a vertically downward-facing syringe-shaped transparent tube 5 is arranged between the camera unit 4 and the glass plate 1. The top of the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5 is open, and a piston head 6 is arranged inside the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5. A drive unit is arranged at the top of the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5 to control the up and down movement of the piston head 6. A water pipe 8 is connected to the bottom of the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5, and its opening and closing are controlled by a valve 9 (two-way valve). During the flocculation and sedimentation observation and evaluation work, water is simultaneously pumped into the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5 through the water pipe 8. Then, the camera unit 4 takes time-lapse photos of the water in the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5 at time intervals (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes) to observe the delayed floc state.

[0028] Therefore, by combining the two observation methods mentioned above, that is, on the one hand, the camera unit 4 takes real-time pictures of the water flowing through the water tank 3 through the glass plate 1 to observe the state of flocs in the water tank 3 in real time under the flowing state; on the other hand, the camera unit 4 takes time-delayed pictures of the water in the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5 at intervals (e.g., 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes) to observe the state of flocs and the state of the supernatant in the water under the static state in the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5. Thus, by combining real-time judgment and time-delayed judgment, the results are more accurate.

[0029] In this embodiment, the driving unit includes a cylinder 7, which is vertically fixed to the top of the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5, and the top of the piston head 6 is connected to the piston rod end of the cylinder 7. The cylinder 7 is used to control the piston head 6 to move up and down; when the piston head 6 moves upward, water is drawn into the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5; when the piston head 6 moves downward, water is discharged from the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, a brush 10 is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the piston head 6. During the pumping and draining of water, the brush 10 moves up and down with the piston head 6 to clean the cylinder wall.

[0031] In this embodiment, the drive unit is detachably and fixedly installed on the top of the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5, that is, the cylinder 7 is detachably and fixedly installed on the top of the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5.

[0032] Specifically, a first back plate 11 is fixedly installed on the cylinder 7, and a second back plate 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5. The first back plate 11 and the second back plate 12 are fixedly connected by screws so that the cylinder 7 can be detachably fixedly installed on the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, the piston head 6 and the piston rod end of the cylinder 7 are detachably connected. Specifically, the top of the piston head 6 is formed with a connector, which is sleeved and connected to the piston rod end of the cylinder 7 and fixed by screws to form a detachable fixed installation. In actual use, when the piston head 6 is damaged, it is convenient to disassemble and replace the piston head 6.

[0034] In this embodiment, the brush 10 and the piston head 6 are detachably connected. Specifically, the brush 10 is installed at the bottom of the piston head 6, and the brush 10 and the piston head 6 are connected and fixed by countersunk screws to form a detachable fixed installation. In actual use, when the brush 10 is damaged, it is easy to disassemble and replace the brush 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, both the upper and lower ends of the piston head 6 are chamfered. This facilitates the smooth removal or insertion of the piston head 6 from or into the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5 when the piston is disassembled or replaced.

[0036] The implementation principle of the flocculation sedimentation device in this application embodiment is as follows: When conducting flocculation sedimentation observation and evaluation, the entire device is partially submerged in water. On the one hand, the camera unit 4 takes real-time photos of the water flowing through the water tank 3 through the glass plate 1 to observe the floc state of the flowing water in the water tank 3 in real time. On the other hand, water is pumped into the syringe-shaped transparent tube 5 through the water pipe 8, and then the camera unit 4 takes delayed photos of the water in the tube at intervals (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes) to observe the delayed floc state and the state of the supernatant. By combining real-time judgment and delayed judgment, the results are made more accurate.
