Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sewage treatment equipment technology, specifically to a foam-repelling device for sewage treatment ponds. Background Technology
[0002] Wastewater treatment is the process of purifying wastewater to meet the water quality requirements for discharge into a water body or for reuse. During wastewater treatment, a large amount of foam will be generated above the surface of the liquid in the wastewater treatment tank.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN222795227U discloses a foam-repelling device for a sewage treatment tank, including a displacement mechanism disposed on the upper part of the sewage treatment tank. The displacement mechanism includes a mounting base bolted to one side of the outer wall of the sewage treatment tank, two adjusting motors bolted to one side of the outer wall of the mounting base, two adjusting screws connected to one end of the output shaft of the adjusting motors by couplings, and adjusting seats bolted to the outer walls of the two adjusting screws. The adjusting seats are provided with support components on both sides, and adjusting components are provided on the adjusting seats.
[0004] The aforementioned device uses a motor-driven screw to drive a scraper to remove foam from a wastewater tank. However, this method has limitations. First, the screw's length is finite, restricting its effective range and making it unsuitable for wastewater treatment tanks of varying sizes, especially large ones, where it cannot effectively remove foam from the entire surface. Second, the scraper's size is fixed, preventing flexible adjustments based on the specific conditions of the wastewater tank and the amount of foam generated. This results in poor foam removal under different operating conditions, failing to meet diverse wastewater treatment needs. Therefore, we propose a foam removal device for wastewater treatment tanks to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] This application provides a foam removal device for sewage treatment ponds, mainly addressing the following issues in existing technologies: First, the limited length of the screw restricts its effective range, making it difficult to adapt to sewage treatment ponds of different sizes, especially large ones, where it cannot effectively remove foam from the entire surface. Second, the fixed size of the scraper prevents flexible adjustment based on the specific conditions of the sewage treatment pond and the amount of foam generated, resulting in poor foam removal under different operating conditions and failing to meet diverse sewage treatment needs. The application provides the following technical solution, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-4 Please provide a detailed explanation:
[0025] A foam-repelling device for a wastewater treatment pond, comprising:
[0026] Scraper 1, which is a hollow cavity with open ends, has fixed rods 2 connected at equal intervals on its inner side, and a connecting ring 3 fixed at the end of the fixed rods 2. A float 4 is provided on the back of the scraper 1.
[0027] L-shaped plates 5 are slidably inserted at both ends of scraper 1. The two L-shaped plates 5 are connected by a spring at one end inside scraper 1. A U-shaped pull rope 6 is fixed on the side plate of L-shaped plate 5. The side of U-shaped pull rope 6 away from L-shaped plate 5 is sleeved on the surface of fixed rod 2.
[0028] The mobile base 7 has traction ropes 8 on both sides of its top. The end of the traction rope 8 away from the mobile base 7 is connected to a self-locking buckle 801, which is adapted to the connecting ring 3.
[0029] The winding mechanism 9 is located at the top center of the movable base 7 and is used to wind up the traction rope 8.
[0030] Workflow Description:
[0031] Step 1, Installation and Initial Adjustment:
[0032] Move the movable base 7 to one edge of the sewage treatment tank using the rollers 704, and adjust the length of the scraper 1 according to the width of the tank. The specific operation is as follows:
[0033] Manually stretch or compress the L-shaped plates 5 on both sides. The springs automatically adapt to the lateral expansion and contraction of the scraper 1. The L-shaped plates 5 are fixed by the sleeve relationship between the U-shaped pull rope 6 and the fixed rod 2, forming a coverage area that matches the width of the pool. Then, move the scraper 1 to the other side of the sewage treatment pool. Then, start the dual-shaft motor 902 to drive the winding reel 904 to rotate, releasing the traction rope 8. Then, pull the traction rope 8 to the other side of the sewage treatment pool. After fastening the self-locking buckle 801 of the traction rope 8 to the appropriate connecting ring 3, the scraper 1 is dropped into the sewage treatment pool. The scraper 1 floats on the liquid surface under the buoyancy of the float 4.
[0034] The second step is to remove the foam:
[0035] The dual-axis motor 902 is controlled to reverse the winding of the traction rope 8, which drives the scraper 1 to move towards the moving base 7. During the movement, the scraper 1 pushes the foam on the liquid surface to gather in the designated area. At the same time, the float 4 maintains the balance of the scraper 1 to prevent it from overturning. (It should be noted that the U-shaped pull rope 6 and the fixing rod 2 can help to puncture the foam during the movement to prevent the foam from gathering.)
[0036] The foam-driving device for sewage treatment tanks achieves free length adjustment through the linkage of the traction rope 8 and the L-shaped plate 5, breaking through the length limitation of the traditional screw 906 and making it suitable for sewage treatment tanks of different sizes. In addition, the length of the telescopic scraper 1 is adjustable to meet the needs of sewage treatment tanks from small to large, solving the problem that the traditional screw 906 drive device is limited by the size of the tank.
[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, fixing rings 101 are connected to both sides of the back of the scraper 1, and the two ends of the float 4 are embedded inside the fixing rings 101. More specifically, the float 4 is a hollow and sealed bladder made of highly elastic rubber or flexible plastic, filled with air or inert gas to provide buoyancy, so that the scraper 1 floats stably on the surface of the sewage tank, while supporting the weight of the scraper 1. The fixing rings restrict the displacement of the float 4 to prevent foam accumulation or water flow impact from causing the float 4 to shift, ensuring that the scraper 1 always adheres to the liquid surface. The float 4 adopts a modular design. If air leakage or damage occurs, the float 4 can be replaced simply by pulling it out of the fixing rings 101 without disassembling the main body of the scraper 1.
[0038] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the movable base 7 includes a mounting groove 701, with support rods 702 fixed at the four corners of the top of the mounting groove 701, and a bearing plate 703 fixed at the top of the support rods 702. The scraper 1 is adapted to the size of the mounting groove 701, and a rectangular hole 7011 is constructed in the middle of the interior of the mounting groove 701. More specifically, after use, the scraper 1 is slowly lowered along the edge of the mounting groove 701 so that it is completely embedded in the groove. The rectangular hole 7011 is a reserved hole for the support rod 702 and the connecting ring 3. When the equipment is moved, the scraper 1 is stored in the mounting groove 701, reducing the overall volume and facilitating transportation.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, rollers 704 are installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the mounting groove 701. The rollers 704 are self-locking casters. More specifically, the multi-directional rotation of the casters allows the equipment to quickly adjust its position, such as moving closer to the edge of the sewage tank or avoiding obstacles, thereby improving work efficiency. The self-locking function ensures that the equipment remains stable during operation, preventing displacement caused by external forces (such as water flow impact or personnel collision), and ensuring that the scraper 1 accurately drives away foam.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the winding mechanism 9 includes a U-shaped plate 901 fixed to the top of the movable base 7. A dual-axis motor 902 is installed inside the U-shaped plate 901. The two output shafts of the dual-axis motor 902 are connected to mounting rods 903. A winding reel 904 is provided at the end of the mounting rod 903. One end of the traction rope 8 is wound inside the winding reel 904. More specifically, when the dual-axis motor 902 is started to rotate forward, the winding reels 904 on both sides simultaneously wind the traction rope 8. When the dual-axis motor 902 is started to rotate in reverse, the winding reels 904 rotate in the opposite direction and release the traction rope 8. Through the coordinated design of the U-shaped plate 901, the dual-axis motor 902, the mounting rod 903 and the winding reel 904, the winding mechanism 9 achieves efficient synchronous winding and unwinding of the traction rope 8, solving the length limitation problem of the traditional screw 906 drive device.
[0041] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, a square plate 905 is slidably inserted at the end of the mounting rod 903 away from the dual-axis motor 902, and a winding reel 904 is fixed at the end of the square plate 905 away from the mounting rod 903. A strip-shaped hole 9031 is constructed on the side of the mounting rod 903 near the winding reel 904. A screw 906 is fixed on the side wall of the square plate 905 located inside the mounting rod 903. The screw 906 is slidably inserted in the strip-shaped hole 9031, and its end is threadedly connected to a locking nut 907. More specifically, in order to ensure that the traction rope 8 pulls the scraper 1 more stably, the connecting ring 3 connected to the traction rope 8 needs to change when the L-shaped plate 5 protrudes out of the scraper at different lengths. By moving the square plate 905 to change its length protruding out of the mounting rod 903, and rotating the locking nut 907 to fix the square plate 905, the position of the winding reel 904 can be changed with the change of the connecting ring 3. In this way, the winding mechanism 9 can more stably wind and release the traction rope 8.
