Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment, specifically to a floatable turbidity meter. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wastewater treatment, turbidity meters are one of the key devices at the end of wastewater sedimentation tank structures. Their main function is to measure the turbidity of water during the treatment of municipal sewage or industrial wastewater to ensure that the effluent meets the standards and does not affect subsequent advanced treatment.

[0003] However, in actual operation, fixed-installation turbidity meters may experience problems due to changes in the water level in the sedimentation tank. When the water level drops to a certain level, the turbidity meter probe will be exposed above the water surface, causing turbidity measurement to be suspended. For a certain period of time, the turbidity value of the water in the tank cannot be obtained, which may affect the normal operation of subsequent advanced treatment process structures.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a turbidity meter that can accurately measure the turbidity of sedimentation tanks without being affected by water level changes, thereby enabling continuous measurement and ensuring long-term stable operation of the turbidity meter and normal operation of subsequent deep treatment is a technical problem that this utility model urgently needs to solve.

[0026] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0027] In this embodiment, the floating turbidity meter is used to accurately detect the turbidity of the sedimentation tank, and the turbidity meter can continuously and accurately detect and read the turbidity of the sedimentation tank regardless of the water level.

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the floating turbidimeter in this embodiment includes an inner cylinder 10, an outer shell 20, a float box 30, a turbidimeter display 40, a host computer 50, and a chain 60.

[0029] The inner cylinder 10 is made of stainless steel and has a hollow interior. A turbidimeter probe 11 is installed at the bottom of the inner cylinder 10. The turbidimeter probe 11 is located below the liquid level 12 in the sedimentation tank.

[0030] The outer shell 20 is made of stainless steel and is fitted onto the outer side of the top of the inner cylinder 10. A number of holes 21 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the outer shell 20. In addition, a stainless steel baffle 22 is welded to the outer side wall of the outer shell 20, and screw holes 23 are evenly distributed on the baffle 22.

[0031] The float 30 is a hollow plastic float, which is installed on the outer wall of the outer shell 20 and located above the stainless steel baffle 22. The bottom of the float 30 is connected to the screw holes 23 on the stainless steel baffle 22 by screws. The installation of this hollow plastic float allows the top of the inner cylinder 10 to float above the liquid surface 12.

[0032] The turbidity display 40 is electrically connected to the turbidity meter probe 11 via a wire 41. One end of the wire 41 is connected to the turbidity display 40, and the other end passes through the hollow inner cylinder 10 and connects to the turbidity meter probe 11. The turbidity display 40 can display the turbidity data detected by the turbidity meter probe 11. It is placed around the detection point to facilitate viewing, recording, and subsequent maintenance of the turbidity display 40 by staff.

[0033] The host computer 30 is connected to the turbidity meter probe 11 and is set up in the duty room or office next to the sedimentation tank. It can receive the turbidity data detected by the turbidity meter probe 11 in real time, which makes it convenient for the staff to record the turbidity data in the sedimentation tank.

[0034] In addition, the turbidity meter includes two chains 60. One end of the two chains 60 is symmetrically arranged on the holes 21 on the outer shell 20, and the other end is arranged on the outside of the sedimentation tank to fix the entire turbidity meter and prevent the turbidity meter from being washed away by the water flow in the tank.

[0035] In addition, both chains 60 have sufficient length and degrees of freedom to allow the turbidimeter to float above the liquid surface to be tested at any height.

[0036] The floating turbidity meter uses a hollow plastic float box to make the top of the inner cylinder 10 float above the liquid surface 12 of the sedimentation tank, while the turbidity meter probe 11 at the bottom of the inner cylinder 10 is located below the liquid surface 12, so as to accurately and continuously detect the turbidity of the liquid in the sedimentation tank.

[0037] The floating turbidity meter according to the above embodiment includes an inner cylinder, an outer shell, a float box, and a turbidity display. A turbidity meter probe is located at one end of the inner cylinder, below the surface of the liquid to be tested, for detecting the turbidity of the liquid. The outer shell is fitted over the top of the inner cylinder to secure it. The float box surrounds the outer shell, helping the inner cylinder float above the surface of the liquid to be tested. The turbidity display is located around the detection point and is electrically connected to the turbidity meter probe, displaying the detected turbidity. Based on this floating turbidity meter, by providing the outer shell and float box on the outside of the inner cylinder, it can float on the liquid surface. Furthermore, the turbidity meter probe at the bottom of the inner cylinder is always located below the surface of the liquid to be tested, enabling continuous and accurate readings of turbidity values, unaffected by the water level in the sedimentation tank. This ensures the long-term stable operation of the turbidity meter and guarantees the normal operation of subsequent advanced treatment processes.

[0038] In addition, a baffle is provided on the outer shell, located at the bottom of the float box. The baffle has screw holes, and screws are provided at the bottom of the float box. The float box can be fixed to the outer shell using the screw holes and screws.

[0039] In addition, the side walls of the casing are evenly distributed with holes. The turbidimeter also includes a chain, which is symmetrically arranged on the holes. The chain and holes secure the entire turbidimeter, preventing it from being washed away by the water flow.

[0040] In addition, the chain has sufficient length and freedom to ensure that the turbidimeter can float on the surface of the liquid to be tested at any height, increasing its applicability.

[0041] Furthermore, the inner cylinder has a hollow structure, through which the wires pass, with each end connected to a turbidimeter probe and a turbidimeter display, respectively. This allows the turbidimeter display to show the turbidimetry detected by the probe. The turbidimeter display is placed around the detection point for easy viewing, recording, and subsequent maintenance by the testing personnel.

[0042] In addition, the turbidity meter probe is connected to a host computer, which can upload the detected turbidity data and receive the data. This host computer can be installed in an office or a nearby duty room, allowing testing personnel to directly receive the data.

[0043] In addition, the pontoon is a hollow plastic pontoon, which increases the buoyancy of the inner cylinder and the outer shell, allowing it to float above the surface of the liquid to be tested.

[0044] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application also intends to include such modifications and variations.
