Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purification, and more specifically, to an activated carbon filtration device for water purification. Background Technology
[0002] Activated carbon filtration is a highly efficient and economical water purification method, primarily removing contaminants from water through physical and chemical adsorption. Activated carbon has a well-developed porous structure (specific surface area of 500-1500 m² / g), effectively adsorbing residual chlorine, organic matter (such as pesticides and phenols), off-colors and odors, and some heavy metals (such as lead and mercury). Activated carbon filtration devices are commonly used water treatment equipment. Activated carbon filtration is an economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly water purification method, playing a crucial role in ensuring drinking water safety and improving quality of life. Activated carbon needs to be replaced regularly during use; otherwise, it may breed microorganisms or cause secondary pollution.
[0003] Existing activated carbon water purification devices require disassembling the filter cartridge, manually cleaning out the activated carbon, or rinsing it upside down when replacing the activated carbon. This method leads to low efficiency, and the old activated carbon can easily cause cross-contamination of bacteria when it comes into contact with hands or the environment. Therefore, we have made an improvement and proposed an activated carbon filtration device for water purification. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems raised in the background art, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] An activated carbon filtration device for water purification is provided to improve the above-mentioned problems.
[0006] The present invention is as follows:
[0007] The device includes a base with a discharge area. A first bracket and a second bracket are fixedly mounted on the top of the base. A drive mechanism is mounted on the first bracket. Guide rails are integrally formed on the top of both the first and second brackets. An mounting frame is fixedly mounted on the top of the guide rails, and a funnel is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame. A water receiving tank is located on the top of the base. An activated carbon tray is located above the water receiving tank. An mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the activated carbon tray. Two fan-shaped doors are hinged to the mounting plate. Each fan-shaped door has a mesh opening. A flow guide is fixedly connected to the bottom of each fan-shaped door, corresponding to the mesh opening. A first protrusion is fixedly connected to the bottom of each fan-shaped door, and a slot is provided on the first protrusion. A protruding plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the activated carbon tray, and a fixing mechanism is provided on the protruding plate.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a second protrusion is fixedly connected to the bottom of the activated carbon disc, and an insertion rod is slidably connected to the second protrusion. The insertion rod matches the slot, and a handle is fixedly connected to the end of the insertion rod. A fixing groove is opened on the top of the handle.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing rod inserted into the protruding plate, and the fixing rod matches the fixing groove.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the outer wall of the activated carbon tray is fixedly connected with a first extension plate and a second extension plate, and an L-shaped frame is fixedly installed on the top of the first extension plate and the second extension plate. A slider is fixedly installed on the L-shaped frame, and the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a geared motor fixedly mounted on a first bracket, a threaded rod fixedly connected to the output end of the geared motor, the threaded rod being rotatably connected to the first bracket, and the first extension plate being threadedly connected to the threaded rod.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a baffle is fixedly installed inside the activated carbon tray, and the baffle is located on the top of the mounting plate.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] In the solution of this utility model:
[0016] 1. The first extension plate moves by rotating the threaded rod, which in turn moves the activated carbon disc. Simultaneously, the second extension plate moves along the guide rod, moving the activated carbon disc to the discharge area. Then, the fixing rod is removed and pulled upwards to disengage from the fixing groove on the handle. Next, the handle is pulled outwards, causing the insertion rod to disengage from the slot on the first protrusion. At this point, the fan-shaped door opens under gravity, allowing the old activated carbon to fall into the container for receiving it. This facilitates convenient activated carbon replacement. The replacement process is not only time-saving and labor-saving but also reduces contact between the old carbon and human hands or the environment. It solves the problem in existing technologies where replacing activated carbon requires disassembling the filter cartridge, manually digging, or inverting the filter to rinse the activated carbon, which leads to low work efficiency and cross-contamination of bacteria due to contact between the old carbon and human hands or the environment.

[0030] Example:
[0031] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes an activated carbon filtration device for water purification, including a base 1. A discharge area 27 is provided on the base 1, and a container for receiving used activated carbon is placed on the discharge area 27. A first support 2 and a second support 3 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. A driving mechanism is provided on the first support 2 to move the activated carbon disc 6. Guide rails 4 are integrally formed on the top of both the first support 2 and the second support 3. A mounting frame 28 is fixedly installed on the top of the guide rails 4, and a funnel 29 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 28. Water to be filtered is added through the funnel 29. A water receiving tank 5 is provided on the top of the base 1, and the activated carbon disc 6 is positioned above the water receiving tank 5. An installation plate 7 is fixedly installed on the activated carbon tray 6. Two fan-shaped doors 8 are hinged to the installation plate 7. The fan-shaped doors 8 have mesh holes 9. Water flows into the activated carbon tray 6 (which is filled with activated carbon granules). At this time, the pollutants in the water are adsorbed by the activated carbon. The clean water flows down through the mesh holes 9. A flow guide shroud 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fan-shaped doors 8. The flow guide shroud 10 corresponds to the mesh holes 9. The water then flows down through the flow guide shroud 10 and finally into the water receiving tank 5. A first protrusion 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fan-shaped doors 8. A slot 12 is provided on the first protrusion 11. A protruding plate 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the activated carbon tray 6. A fixing mechanism is provided on the protruding plate 17.
[0032] A second protrusion 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the activated carbon disc 6. A rod 14 is slidably connected to the second protrusion 13. The rod 14 matches the slot 12. A handle 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the rod 14. The handle 15 drives the rod 14, causing the rod 14 to disengage from the slot 12 on the first protrusion 11. A fixing groove 16 is provided on the top of the handle 15. The fixing mechanism includes a fixing rod 18 inserted into the protrusion 17. The fixing rod 18 matches the fixing groove 16. Pulling the fixing rod 18 upward causes the fixing rod 18 to disengage from the fixing groove 16 on the handle 15.
[0033] A first extension plate 22 and a second extension plate 23 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the activated carbon tray 6. An L-shaped frame 24 is fixedly installed on the top of the first extension plate 22 and the second extension plate 23. When the first extension plate 22 and the second extension plate 23 move, they both drive the L-shaped frame 24 to move. A slider 25 is fixedly installed on the L-shaped frame 24. The L-shaped frame 24 drives the slider 25 to slide along the guide rail 4.
[0034] The drive mechanism includes a geared motor 19 fixedly mounted on the first bracket 2. A threaded rod 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the geared motor 19. The rotation of the geared motor 19 drives the threaded rod 20 to rotate. The threaded rod 20 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 2. The first extension plate 22 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 20. The rotation of the threaded rod 20 drives the first extension plate 22 to move. The threaded rod 20 needs to be maintained regularly during use, such as lubrication and cleaning.
[0035] A guide rod 21 is fixedly installed on the second bracket 3, and the second extension plate 23 is slidably connected to the guide rod 21. The second extension plate 23 moves along the guide rod 21.
[0036] A baffle 26 is fixedly installed inside the activated carbon tray 6. The baffle 26 is located at the top of the mounting plate 7. The baffle 26 reduces the contact between water and the hinge below.
[0037] Specifically, when using this activated carbon filter for water purification: the water to be filtered is added from the funnel 29, and then the water flows into the activated carbon plate 6 (the activated carbon plate 6 is filled with activated carbon particles). At this time, the pollutants in the water are adsorbed by the activated carbon, and the clean water flows down through the mesh 9, then down along the guide shroud 10, and finally flows into the water receiving tank 5.
[0038] When the activated carbon in the activated carbon tray 6 needs to be replaced, the reduction motor 19 is started. The rotation of the reduction motor 19 drives the threaded rod 20 to rotate, which in turn moves the first extension plate 22. The first extension plate 22 moves the activated carbon tray 6, and at the same time, the activated carbon tray 6 moves the second extension plate 23. The second extension plate 23 moves along the guide rod 21 (simultaneously, both the first extension plate 22 and the second extension plate 23 move the L-shaped frame 24, which in turn moves the slider 25 along the guide rail 4), so that the activated carbon tray 6 moves to the discharge area 27. (A container for receiving old activated carbon is placed on the discharge area 27). Then, first remove the fixing rod 18, pull the fixing rod 18 upwards so that the fixing rod 18 disengages from the fixing groove 16 on the handle 15. Then pull the handle 15 outwards. The handle 15 drives the insertion rod 14 so that the insertion rod 14 disengages from the slot 12 on the first protrusion 11. At this time, the fan-shaped door 8 opens under gravity, allowing the old activated carbon to fall into the container for receiving old activated carbon. This makes it convenient to replace activated carbon. The replacement process is not only time-saving and labor-saving, but also reduces the phenomenon of old carbon coming into contact with human hands or the environment.
[0039] In this embodiment, the hinge, first protrusion 11, second protrusion 13, insert rod 14, handle 15, fixing rod 18, fan-shaped door 8, and mounting plate can be made of 304 or 316 stainless steel, with polished or passivated surfaces to further improve water resistance, making them rust-proof, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for long-term immersion.
[0040] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0041] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
