Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a visual metering device for a dosing system. Background Technology
[0002] When treating wastewater, it is generally necessary to add water treatment agents to the wastewater to be treated. Depending on the characteristics of the agent and the application scenario, the method of surface dosing or underwater dosing should be selected. Surface dosing makes it easier to intuitively monitor the operation status of the dosing system. However, for volatile agents that are sensitive to light, underwater dosing must be used to ensure the stability of the agent.
[0003] Currently, most of the pipes connected to the dosing pump in the dosing system are opaque UPVC pipes. When subsurface dosing is required, staff cannot observe whether the dosing system is operating normally or control the dosage during inspections, resulting in significant deviations in the dosing amount, affecting the quality of the produced water, and often causing waste of chemicals.
[0004] Therefore, to address the above issues, a visual metering device for the dosing system can be designed. This device converts the flow of chemicals in the dosing system into visible indicator light signals on the outside of the pipeline, allowing inspectors to intuitively observe the operation of the dosing system. Additionally, equipped with a float flow meter, inspectors can accurately determine the amount of chemicals added based on actual conditions. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problem that most of the pipes connected to the dosing pump in the current dosing system are opaque UPVC pipes, when subsurface dosing is required, staff cannot observe whether the dosing system is operating normally or control the dosage during inspections. This leads to significant deviations in the dosing amount, affecting the quality of the produced water and frequently causing waste of chemicals.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a visual metering device for a dosing system, comprising an inlet pipe, a float flow meter, a protective component, and a discharge component. The float flow meter is located at the lower end of the inlet pipe, and the discharge component is located at the lower end of the float flow meter. The three components form a continuous flow path. The protective component is located around the float flow meter. A mounting frame is fixedly installed around the inlet pipe. A micro generator is fixedly installed at the upper end of the mounting frame. The input shaft of the micro generator passes through the inlet pipe. A sealed bearing is provided at the connection between the input shaft of the micro generator and the inlet pipe. A water wheel is fixedly installed at one end of the input shaft of the micro generator. The water wheel is located inside the inlet pipe. An indicator light is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame. The indicator light is electrically connected to the micro generator to form a power supply circuit.
[0007] Preferably, the indicator light and micro generator are installed and fixed by a mounting bracket. A sealed bearing ensures the seal between the micro generator input shaft and the inlet pipe. The inlet pipe serves as a fluid input channel and is directly connected to the output end of the dosing pump in the dosing system. When the chemical pump delivers the chemical through the inlet pipe, the fluid kinetic energy drives the water turbine mechanism to rotate, which in turn drives the micro generator input shaft to rotate and generate electricity. The generated electricity supplies the indicator light to form a visible light signal. The brightness of the indicator light is positively correlated with the fluid flow rate. When the flow rate increases, the generator output voltage increases, and the indicator light brightness increases accordingly, providing inspectors with an intuitive indication of the flow rate status. Depending on the actual situation, inspectors can also accurately control the amount of chemical added by the dosing system using a float flow meter. A protective component can be installed to shield the float flow meter when it is not being observed.
[0008] Preferably, the float flowmeter is fixedly mounted with a slide rail, and both the main body of the float flowmeter and the slide rail are made of transparent material.
[0009] Preferably, the slide rail has a scale attached to its outer periphery, and a graduation line is provided on one side of the slide rail.
[0010] Preferably, the protective assembly includes an outer shell and an inner shell, with the outer shell fixedly installed on the periphery of the float flowmeter and the inner shell rotatably connected to the interior of the outer shell.
[0011] Preferably, the protective components also include multiple sets of adhesive strips embedded on the outer surface of the inner housing.
[0012] Preferably, both the outer shell and the inner shell are incomplete cylindrical hollow structures, and the opening area of the outer shell is larger than the opening area of the inner shell.
[0013] Preferably, the discharge assembly includes a check valve and a discharge pipe, with the check valve connected to the lower end of the float flowmeter and the discharge pipe connected to the lower end of the check valve.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] The indicator lights and micro generator are mounted and fixed using a mounting bracket. Sealed bearings ensure a tight seal between the micro generator's input shaft and the inlet pipe. The inlet pipe, serving as the fluid input channel, directly connects to the output of the dosing pump in the dosing system. When the dosing pump delivers chemicals through the inlet pipe, the fluid's kinetic energy drives the turbine mechanism to rotate, which in turn rotates the micro generator's input shaft and generates electricity. This electricity powers the indicator lights, forming visible light signals. The brightness of the indicator lights is positively correlated with the fluid flow rate; as the flow rate increases, the generator's output voltage rises, and the indicator light's brightness increases accordingly, providing inspectors with a clear indication of the flow rate. When accurate observation of the dosing volume is required, simply rotate the inner casing to align its opening with the outer casing's opening. Inspectors can then see the internal float flowmeter. By sliding the scale around the slide rail and using the graduation lines, the float's position can be quickly located and accurately read. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment: a visual metering device for a dosing system, including an inlet pipe 1, a float flowmeter 2, a protective component, and a discharge component. The float flowmeter 2 is located at the lower end of the inlet pipe 1, and the discharge component is located at the lower end of the float flowmeter 2, forming a continuous flow path. The protective component is located around the float flowmeter 2. A mounting bracket 101 is fixedly installed around the inlet pipe 1, and a micro generator 102 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the mounting bracket 101. The input shaft of the micro generator 102 passes through the inlet pipe 1, and a sealed bearing 103 is provided at the connection between the input shaft of the micro generator 102 and the inlet pipe 1. A water wheel 104 is fixedly installed at one end of the input shaft of the micro generator 102, and the water wheel 104 is located inside the inlet pipe 1. An indicator light 105 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting bracket 101, and the indicator light 105 is electrically connected to the micro generator 102 to form a power supply circuit. Mounting bracket 101 is used to install and fix indicator light 105 and micro generator 102. A sealed bearing 103 is used to ensure the sealing between the input shaft of micro generator 102 and the inlet pipe 1. The inlet pipe 1 serves as a fluid input channel and is directly connected to the output end of the dosing pump of the dosing system. When the agent delivered by the dosing pump flows through the inlet pipe 1, the fluid kinetic energy drives the water turbine 104 mechanism to rotate, which in turn drives the input shaft of micro generator 102 to rotate and generate electricity. The generated electricity supplies indicator light 105 to form a visible light signal. The brightness of indicator light 105 is positively correlated with the fluid flow rate. When the flow rate increases, the generator output voltage increases, and the brightness of indicator light 105 increases accordingly, providing an intuitive flow rate status indication for inspectors. Depending on the actual situation, inspectors can also accurately control the dosing amount of the dosing system through float flowmeter 2. A protective component can be set to shield and protect the float flowmeter 2 when it is not being observed.
[0023] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the protective assembly includes an outer shell 301 and an inner shell 302. The outer shell 301 is fixedly installed on the periphery of the float flowmeter 2, and the inner shell 302 is rotatably connected to the interior of the outer shell 301. The protective assembly also includes multiple sets of adhesive strips 303 embedded on the outer surface of the inner shell 302. Both the outer shell 301 and the inner shell 302 are incomplete cylindrical hollow structures, and the opening area of the outer shell 301 is larger than the opening area of the inner shell 302. The inner shell 302 is installed by setting the outer shell 301. The cooperation between the outer shell 301 and the inner shell 302 can shield and protect the internal float flowmeter 2, reducing the influence of external light on the drug inside the float flowmeter 2 when it is not necessary to observe the drug flow status. When it is necessary to observe the drug flow status, the inner shell 302 can be rotated inside the outer shell 301 so that the opening of the inner shell 302 corresponds to the opening of the outer shell 301, thereby allowing observation of the internal float flowmeter 2. The rubber strip 303 can increase the friction, making it easier for the inspection personnel to rotate the inner shell 302.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a slide rail 201 is fixedly installed on the periphery of the float flowmeter 2. Both the main body of the float flowmeter 2 and the slide rail 201 are made of transparent material. A scale 202 is slidably connected to the periphery of the slide rail 201, and a scale line 203 is provided on one side of the slide rail 201. By setting the scale 202 and the scale line 203, the height of the float in the float flowmeter 2 can be easily observed, facilitating accurate reading. The discharge assembly includes a check valve 401 and a discharge pipe 402. The check valve 401 is connected to the lower end of the float flowmeter 2, and the discharge pipe 402 is connected to the lower end of the check valve 401. By setting the check valve 401, sewage backflow can be prevented, and by setting the discharge pipe 402, the agent can be transported to below the surface of the sewage.
[0025] During operation, the indicator light 105 and the micro generator 102 are installed and fixed using the mounting bracket 101. The sealed bearing 103 ensures the sealing between the input shaft of the micro generator 102 and the inlet pipe 1. The inlet pipe 1 serves as a fluid input channel and is directly connected to the output end of the dosing pump of the dosing system. When the agent delivered by the dosing pump flows through the inlet pipe 1, the fluid kinetic energy drives the water wheel 104 mechanism to rotate, which in turn drives the input shaft of the micro generator 102 to rotate and generate electricity. The generated electricity supplies the indicator light 105 to form a visible light signal. The brightness of the indicator light 105 is positively correlated with the fluid flow rate. When the flow rate increases, the generator output voltage increases, and the brightness of the indicator light 105 increases accordingly, providing an intuitive indication of the flow rate status for the inspection personnel.
[0026] When it is necessary to accurately observe the dosage of the dosing system, simply rotate the inner housing 302 so that its opening coincides with the opening of the outer housing 301. The inspector can then see the float flowmeter 2 inside. By sliding the scale 202 around the slide rail 201 and using the scale line 203, the float position can be quickly located and accurately read.
[0027] After the reading is completed, the inner housing 302 is rotated to make its opening offset from the outer housing 301, thereby shielding and protecting the internal float flowmeter 2 and reducing the influence of external light on the reagent inside the float flowmeter 2.
[0028] Through the above steps, the output end of the dosing pump of the dosing system is connected through the inlet pipe 1. When the agent delivered by the dosing pump flows through the inlet pipe 1, the fluid kinetic energy drives the water turbine 104 mechanism to rotate, which drives the input shaft of the micro generator 102 to rotate and generate electricity. The generated electricity supplies the indicator light 105 to form a visible light signal, providing inspection personnel with an intuitive indication of the dosing system status. This solves the problem that the pipes connected to the dosing pump in the current dosing system are mostly opaque UPVC pipes. When subsurface dosing is required, the staff cannot observe whether the dosing system is operating normally or can not grasp the dosage during the inspection process, resulting in a large deviation in the system dosage, affecting the quality of the produced water, and often causing waste of chemicals.
[0029] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
