Detailed Implementation
[0023] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0024] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a multi-stage filtration structure for water supply and drainage pipelines, including a primary filter box 1, a secondary filter box 2, and a tertiary filter box 3. A connecting pipe 5 connects the primary filter box 1, the secondary filter box 2, and the tertiary filter box 3. A wedge-shaped filter screen 11 is provided in the primary filter box 1. A quartz sand filter layer 21 and a magnetite filter layer 22 are provided in the secondary filter box 2. A polypropylene ultrafiltration membrane 31 is provided in the tertiary filter box 3. An aeration backwashing mechanism 4 is provided in both the secondary filter box 2 and the tertiary filter box 3.
[0026] In specific installations, the multi-stage filtration device for water supply and drainage pipelines consists of a three-stage filtration unit, a backwashing system, and an intelligent control module. It is suitable for municipal water supply and drainage pipelines with diameters ranging from DN50 to DN1000, and the overall dimensions of the device can be customized according to the pipe diameter.
[0027] Furthermore, a control valve 9 is installed on the connecting pipe 5, and a water quality sensor 10 is installed on the outlet connecting pipe 5 of the secondary filter box 2 and the tertiary filter box 3. The water quality sensor 10 is equipped with a PLC controller to monitor turbidity, pressure and flow rate, and automatically triggers the backwashing program according to the turbidity or pressure difference of the inlet water. It also supports remote monitoring and parameter adjustment.
[0028] The core unit design is as follows:
[0029] Primary coarse filtration unit: It adopts a stainless steel wedge-shaped filter screen 11 with a pore size of 0.5-1.0mm, which is installed at an angle of 45° at the water inlet end. It effectively intercepts large particles of impurities, such as mud, sand and gravel, and reduces the subsequent filtration load. The filter screen is equipped with a mechanical scraper, which is driven by a motor 61 to periodically remove the impurities attached to the surface.
[0030] Secondary composite filter media layer: Quartz sand filter layer 21, filled with graded quartz sand with a particle size of 0.8-1.2mm; Magnetite filter layer 22, filled with magnetite filter media with a particle size of 0.5-0.8mm and a thickness of 800-1000mm, forming a pore gradient filtration structure to remove medium-sized suspended solids of 50-500μm and some colloidal substances. Backwash pipe 46 is laid at the bottom of the filter media layer to evenly distribute the backwash water flow.
[0031] Three-stage precision filtration unit: Built-in pleated polypropylene ultrafiltration membrane 31 with a filtration accuracy of 0.1μm, adopting cross-flow filtration method to effectively intercept bacteria, microorganisms and dissolved organic matter.
[0032] Each filter unit can be replaced independently to adapt to different water quality conditions. The outer shell is made of stainless steel, which has strong corrosion resistance and a service life of ≥15 years, significantly better than traditional carbon steel devices.
[0033] Furthermore, a pressure sensor 32 is fixedly installed on the three-stage filter box 3. The pressure sensor 32 is equipped with two detection probes, which are located on both sides of the polypropylene ultrafiltration membrane 31. The filtration parameters are dynamically monitored and adjusted in real time by the PLC controller to avoid energy waste caused by over-filtration. Compared with traditional devices, it saves more than 20% energy.
[0034] Furthermore, the aeration backwashing mechanism 4 includes an aeration pump 41 and a backwashing water pump 42. The output end of the aeration pump 41 is connected to a main pipe 43, and a branch pipe 44 is connected to the main pipe 43. A backwashing valve 45 is installed on the branch pipe 44, and a number of backwashing pipes 46 are provided at one end of the branch pipe 44. A number of nozzles 47 are arranged at equal intervals on the backwashing pipes 46. The backwashing pipes 46 are respectively located below the magnetite filter layer 22 and the polypropylene ultrafiltration membrane 31.
[0035] Air-water combined backwashing system: Backwashing pipe 46, aeration pump 41 and backwashing water pump 42 are respectively installed in the secondary composite filter layer and the tertiary precision filtration unit. During backwashing, compressed air is first introduced to loosen the filter media, and then clean water is started for backwashing. The backwashing time is 5-10 minutes, which can automatically remove pollutants from the filter media and membrane surface. Compared with traditional water backwashing, air-water combined backwashing saves more than 50% of water, reduces the frequency of manual intervention, and reduces operation and maintenance costs by 30%-40%.
[0036] Furthermore, a scraping mechanism 6 is provided on the primary filter box 1. The scraping mechanism 6 includes a motor 61, which is fixedly installed on one side of the primary filter box 1. A scraping plate 62 is fixedly installed at the output end of the scraping mechanism 6. The scraping plate 62 is rotatably installed inside the primary filter box 1. The scraping plate 62 is located on one side of the lower end of the wedge-shaped filter screen 11. A baffle 8 is provided on one side of the primary filter box 1 located on the scraping plate 62. A guide plate 7 is provided on one side of the baffle 8.
[0037] The wedge filter screen 11 is equipped with a mechanical scraping mechanism 6, which is driven by a motor 61 to rotate the scraper plate 62 to remove the impurities accumulated and attached to the surface of the filter screen. During cleaning, the baffle 8 is opened to allow the impurities to be discharged from the guide plate 7.
[0038] This application also includes a municipal water supply and drainage pipeline, comprising a first water supply and drainage pipeline sub-body, a second water supply and drainage pipeline sub-body, and a multi-stage filtration structure for the water supply and drainage pipeline, wherein the first-stage filter box 1 is connected to the first water supply and drainage pipeline sub-body, and the third-stage filter box 3 is connected to the second water supply and drainage pipeline sub-body.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model:
[0040] Normal filtration process:
[0041] Municipal sewage or tap water enters the primary filter box 1 through the inlet. Large particles of impurities are intercepted by the stainless steel wedge filter screen 11. The water after preliminary filtration flows into the secondary filter box 2, where medium-sized impurities are removed by the adsorption and screening effect of quartz sand and magnetite. Then it enters the tertiary filter box 3 for precision filtration, and finally the clean water is discharged from the outlet.
[0042] Backwashing process:
[0043] When the intelligent control module detects that the influent turbidity exceeds the standard or the filtration pressure difference reaches the set value, it automatically starts the backwashing program, closes the inlet and outlet water control valves 9, and opens the backwashing valve 45, aeration pump 41 and backwashing water pump 42 to perform air-water combined backwashing on the secondary filter media layer for 3-5 minutes to remove pollutants from the filter media gaps. Then, it switches to the tertiary membrane unit backwashing, using low-pressure clean water to backwash the membrane surface for 2-3 minutes to restore membrane flux. The backwashing wastewater is discharged into the municipal sewage network through the drain outlet. After the backwashing is completed, the normal filtration state is automatically restored.
