Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 A wastewater filter with non-caking filter media includes a tank 1 and a stirring device 2. The tank 1 is divided into an inlet zone 11, a filtration zone 12 and an outlet zone 13 from top to bottom. A filter plate 111 is provided on the tank 1, located between the filtration zone 12 and the outlet zone 13. A filter head 112 is provided on the filter plate 111. A through hole 113 is provided at the center of the top of the tank 1. A first multi-functional port 114 is provided at the inlet zone 11 of the tank 1, and a second multi-functional port 131 is provided at the outlet zone 13 of the tank 1. The interior of the filtration zone 12 is provided with a first packing layer 121 with a lower density and a second packing layer 122 with a higher density from top to bottom. The stirring device 2 includes a geared motor 21, a rotating shaft 22 and a toothed rake 23. The output shaft of the geared motor 21 is connected to the top of the rotating shaft 22. The rotating shaft 22 passes through the through hole 113 and is connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 22 and the toothed rake 23. The toothed rake 23 is vertically inserted into the first packing layer 121.

[0019] Wastewater is filtered by setting up a first packing layer 121 and a second packing layer 122. A stirring device 2 and a reduction motor 21 drive a rotating shaft 22 to rotate. The rotating shaft 22 drives a toothed rake 23 connected to the bottom to rotate, disturbing the first packing layer 121 and effectively breaking up any caking, thus maintaining good filtration performance. A first multi-functional port 114, a second multi-functional port 131, and a filter head 112 are provided to allow water flow within the tank 1, achieving basic wastewater filtration as well as forward and reverse cleaning. This solves the problem of easy caking of filter media in traditional filters, improves wastewater filtration efficiency, and ensures long-term stable operation of the filter.

[0020] The first multi-functional port 114 is used for wastewater filtration inlet, forward cleaning inlet and backwash outlet, and the second multi-functional port 131 is used for wastewater filtration outlet, forward cleaning outlet and backwash inlet.

[0021] During wastewater filtration, wastewater enters tank 1 through the first multi-functional port 114 and is filtered successively by the first packing layer 121 and the second packing layer 122, which traps suspended particles in the wastewater. The filtered water then flows through the filter head 112 to the second multi-functional port 131 for discharge. Since the first packing layer 121 filters the wastewater first and has the largest interception capacity, it is most prone to caking.

[0022] During backwashing, a large volume of cleaning water enters the tank 1 through the second multi-functional port 131, and then enters the filtration zone 12 through the filter head 112. The first packing layer 121 and the second packing layer 122 tumble and collide with each other under the impact of the upward high-speed water flow, causing the suspended particles trapped on the surface of the packing to detach from the packing and be carried away by the water. The cleaning water is discharged from the first multi-functional port 114 after passing through the filtration zone 12.

[0023] During forward cleaning, a large amount of cleaning water enters the tank 1 from the first multi-functional port 114, impacting the first packing layer 121. In conjunction with the geared motor 21 driving the rotating shaft 22 and the toothed rake 23, the surface of the first packing layer 121 is directly stirred, breaking up the hardened first packing layer 121 and restoring its filtration function. The cleaned water flows through the filter head 112 to the second multi-functional port 131 for discharge.

[0024] In some embodiments, the first filler layer 121 is a rigid plastic ball filler layer, the second filler layer 122 is a ceramsite filler layer, and the thickness of the first filler layer 121 is greater than the thickness of the second filler layer 122.

[0025] Using ceramsite and rigid plastic balls as fillers, the surface is smooth, making it difficult for pollutants trapped during filtration to adhere to the surface. This results in a large interception capacity and good backwashing effect, significantly reducing filter media caking. The thicker first filler layer 121 provides ample contact space to trap suspended particles; while the relatively thinner, denser second filler layer 122 separates the first filler layer 121 from the filter head 112, preventing the first filler layer 121 from entering the effluent zone 13 through the filter head 112, while also serving to filter suspended particles to a certain extent.

[0026] In some embodiments, a handwheel 24 is also provided on the top of the rotating shaft 22, which is used to manually drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate.

[0027] By setting a handwheel 24, it is easy for a person to turn the handwheel 24, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 22 and the toothed rake 23. Even in the event of a power outage or a failure of the reduction motor 21, the toothed rake 23 can still break up the compacted first packing layer 121.

[0028] In some embodiments, the side wall of the tank 1 is provided with a first inspection port 14, which is located below the filter plate 111. The first inspection port 14 is used for a person to put their hand into the tank 1. The top of the tank 1 is provided with a second inspection port 15, which is used for a person to enter the tank 1. The first inspection port 14 and the second inspection port 15 are respectively provided with a first sealing cover 141 and a second sealing cover 151.

[0029] Personnel can access the area below the filter plate 111 through the first inspection port 14 to replace the filter head 112; they can also enter the tank 1 through the second inspection port 15 to replace or clean the packing material. The tank 1 is kept sealed when not in use by providing a first sealing cover 141 and a second sealing cover 151.

[0030] Preferably, a ladder is provided on the outside of the tank body 1, and one end of the ladder is connected to the second inspection port 15.

[0031] By installing ladders, a convenient passage is provided for personnel, ensuring a safer maintenance process, shortening the time required for personnel to enter tank 1, and improving the efficiency of maintenance and operation.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first multi-function port 114 is provided with a filter 115.

[0033] The filter screen 115 is designed to prevent the filter media from being lost when the packing material of the first packing layer 121 enters the first multi-functional port 114 during backwashing or agitation by the toothed rake 23.

[0034] In some embodiments, a water inlet pipe 116 is connected to the first multi-function port 114, and a first ball valve 117 is provided on the water inlet pipe 116. A backflush pipe 132 is provided on the second multi-function port 131, and a second ball valve 133 is provided on the backflush pipe 132.

[0035] By installing a first ball valve 117 on the inlet pipe 116 and a second ball valve 133 on the backwash pipe 132, the direction and flow rate of water in both the inlet and backwash pipes can be easily controlled. Furthermore, this allows the wastewater filter to flexibly adjust to different operating modes, such as wastewater filtration, forward cleaning, and backwashing. Additionally, it facilitates the maintenance and repair of the wastewater filter.

[0036] Preferably, a wastewater filter with filter media that is not prone to caking also includes a programmable controller 3, and the first ball valve 117 and the second ball valve 133 are both electric valves, and the first ball valve 117 and the second ball valve 133 are both electrically connected to the programmable controller 3.

[0037] By setting up a programmable controller 3 to automatically control the first ball valve 117 and the second ball valve 133, the wastewater filter can automatically adjust its influent and backwashing operations based on real-time monitoring data and preset programs, without manual intervention, thus improving the automation level of the wastewater filter. Furthermore, the programmable controller 3 can flexibly adjust operating parameters according to different operating environments and needs, such as changing the influent rate or backwashing cycle, to adapt to treatment requirements under different water quality conditions, enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the wastewater filter.

[0038] A further preferred embodiment of a wastewater filter with filter media that is not prone to caking also includes a vibrator 16, which is installed on the outside of the tank 1 and at the same horizontal level as the filter layer. The vibrator 16 is electrically connected to the programmable controller 3.

[0039] The vibration of the vibrator 16 causes impurities adhering to the surfaces of the first packing layer 121 and the second packing layer 122 to fall off, extending the service life of the packing. Since the vibrator 16 is electrically connected to the programmable controller 3, it can automatically start the vibration operation according to a preset time interval, ensuring the timeliness and effectiveness of the vibration operation.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
