Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of supermagnetic separation equipment, and specifically provides a modular flocculation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Supermagnetic separation water purification technology is mainly used to remove non-magnetic or weakly magnetic particulate pollutants from water. Its technical principle is based on traditional coagulation technology, by adding a magnetically conductive medium. This magnetic medium inoculates the chemical flocs formed during coagulation with magnetism, and then uses an external magnetic field to separate these flocs from the water. In other words, magnetic separation replaces the sedimentation process in traditional coagulation, achieving rapid and efficient water purification. The coagulation and flocculation equipment is an indispensable pretreatment device in supermagnetic separation technology. It thoroughly and uniformly mixes the coagulant (such as polyaluminum chloride, polyaluminum ferric chloride, etc.) with the suspended solids in the water, ensuring rapid and uniform dispersion of the coagulant throughout the water body. Under the action of the coagulant, tiny suspended particles in the water aggregate through flocculation, forming larger flocs. Through the coagulation and flocculation equipment, the suspended solids in the water combine with the magnetic seed, acquiring magnetism. The larger flocs formed are more easily adsorbed and removed in the magnetic field, thus achieving rapid and efficient solid-liquid separation. However, existing flocculation equipment is often an integrated structure, adhering to the form of welded containers, resulting in a relatively large equipment footprint. Its volume often exceeds the width and length for transportation, making the overall flocculation equipment difficult to transport and leading to high costs for equipment relocation and installation. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a modular flocculation device that disassembles the various components of the flocculation device, facilitating transportation and installation.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A modular flocculation device includes a PAC tank, a magnetic medium tank, and a PAM tank connected in sequence, and a connecting component. The magnetic medium tank and the PAM tank are both assembled from multiple detachably connected wall panel modules. The connecting component is detachably connected between the magnetic medium tank and the PAM tank, and the connecting component connects the magnetic medium tank and the PAM tank. A waterproof layer is provided at the connection between the wall panel modules.

[0006] In this solution, the outer shell of the flocculation equipment is composed of detachable wall panel modules. Only qualified wall panel modules need to be produced, transported to the site, and then assembled. This avoids the problem of transporting oversized and overweight finished flocculation equipment. At the same time, unlike the existing welded container-type equipment, the PAC pool, magnetic medium pool, and PAM pool are all composed of their own wall panel modules and are leak-proof with a waterproof layer. Each component is relatively independent, and subsequent maintenance and disassembly can be carried out in a targeted manner. In addition, the assembled flocculation equipment can also be disassembled again, which facilitates the transportation of the equipment.

[0007] Preferably, the wall panel module includes an upper wall panel, a lower wall panel, and a side wall panel, and the magnetic medium pool and / or PAM pool is enclosed by the upper wall panel, the lower wall panel, and the side wall panel.

[0008] Preferably, the upper and lower wall panels are vertically provided with folded walls along their edges, and the folded walls and the edges of the side wall panels are provided with matching bolt holes.

[0009] In this design, bolt holes are provided to allow for bolted connections between the upper, lower, and side wall panels, facilitating on-site installation and disassembly. Furthermore, the folded walls on the lower and upper wall panels of the magnetic media tank and / or PAM tank are parallel to the surface of the side wall panels, allowing installers to easily bolt and install the side wall panels from the side, without being limited by ground interference, angle, or height. When a specific area is damaged, only the corresponding wall panel needs to be replaced, significantly reducing maintenance costs compared to existing integrated flocculation equipment.

[0010] Preferably, there are four side wall panels, and the edges of two opposite side wall panels are vertically folded inwards. In this design, the four side wall panels, together with the upper and lower wall panels, form a box, and the folded walls on the side wall panels ensure that adjacent side wall panels can be bolted together through the folded walls.

[0011] Preferably, the waterproof layer is disposed on the folded wall. In this design, the upper wall panel, lower wall panel, and two side wall panels are all provided with folded walls.

[0012] Preferably, a partition plate is detachably provided inside the magnetic medium pool. The partition plate is vertically arranged and divides the PAC pool within the magnetic medium pool.

[0013] In this solution, the PAC tank is integrated into the magnetic media tank, transforming the traditional multi-tank system into a two-tank system. This effectively reduces the length and volume of the finished flocculation equipment, while also reducing the time and labor intensity for workers assembling the equipment. A partition plate is installed to prevent disturbance to the PAC tank when the magnetic media tank is being stirred.

[0014] Preferably, the partition plate has a folded plate structure at its edge, and the partition plate is bolted to the wall panel module through the folded plate structure. The partition plate can be easily installed and removed by bolting.

[0015] To minimize the footprint and length of the installed equipment, the gap between the magnetic medium pool and the PAM pool should not be too wide. However, traditional connecting pipe structures, such as flange pipes, are difficult to tighten bolts when the distance between the two pools is very small, requiring a lot of installation time. Therefore, the connecting component includes a coaxial main pipe and a support pipe. The support pipe is located between the magnetic medium pool and the PAM pool. One end of the main pipe is folded outward to form a folded ring, and the other end is bolted to a mounting ring. The folded ring and the support pipe clamp the wall of the magnetic medium pool, and the support pipe and the mounting ring clamp the wall of the PAM pool.

[0016] In this design, the main pipe, connecting pipe, and mounting ring are sequentially installed, allowing the magnetic medium tank and PAM tank to contact the support pipe. Only one side needs to be bolted in the direction of the mounting ring to clamp the wall panels of the magnetic medium tank and PAM tank with the folding rings on the support pipe and main pipe, and the mounting rings on the support pipe and main pipe, thus completing the installation of the entire connecting component. There is no need to reserve installation space between the two tanks, achieving the effect of reducing the overall length of the equipment while facilitating quick installation by workers.

[0017] Preferably, the magnetic medium pool and the PAM pool are respectively bolted with a double-layer folding blade propeller and a differential folding blade propeller driven by a motor.

[0018] Since the magnetic media tank and the PAM tank require paddles for stirring to improve the mixing rate, the two types of folding paddles can be easily disassembled and assembled by bolting.

[0019] Preferably, the waterproof layer includes a sealant applied to the outer surface of the folded wall. Workers can easily apply the sealant to the folded wall during on-site assembly, resulting in a convenient operation and lower cost while achieving good sealing and waterproofing.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, the outer shell of the flocculation equipment is composed of detachable wall panel modules. Only qualified wall panel modules need to be produced, transported to the site and assembled. This can avoid the problem of the finished flocculation equipment being too wide and too long to transport. At the same time, the assembled flocculation equipment can also be disassembled a second time, which is convenient for the subsequent transportation of the equipment.

[0022] 2. Unlike existing container-type equipment that is assembled by welding, the PAC pool, magnetic medium pool and PAM pool of this utility model are all composed of their own wall panel modules and are leak-proof by a waterproof layer. Each component is relatively independent, and subsequent maintenance and disassembly can be carried out in a targeted manner without the need for overall replacement, which greatly reduces maintenance costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3The modular flocculation device shown includes a PAC tank 1, a magnetic medium tank 2, and a PAM tank 3 connected in sequence, and a connecting member 6. Both the magnetic medium tank 2 and the PAM tank 3 are composed of multiple detachably connected wall panel modules 5. A waterproof layer 4 is provided at the connection points between the wall panel modules 5. The magnetic medium tank 2 and the PAM tank 3 are assembled from multiple detachably connected wall panel modules, and the connecting member 6 is detachably connected between the magnetic medium tank 2 and the PAM tank 3. The PAC tank 1 uses PAC as a coagulant to destabilize suspended solids and colloidal particles in the water, forming tiny flocs. The magnetic medium tank 2 enhances the density and settling performance of the flocs, making them easier to separate in the subsequent magnetic separation process. The PAM tank 3 makes the magnetic flocs more compact and robust, facilitating efficient adsorption and retrieval in the subsequent ultramagnetic separation equipment.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] This embodiment provides a specific structural scheme for the magnetic medium pool 2 and the PAM pool 3, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the magnetic medium pool 2 is a box-shaped structure formed by an upper wall panel 51, a lower wall panel 52, and four side wall panels 53. The upper wall panel 51 and the lower wall panel 52 have vertically arranged folded walls 54 along their edges. Bolt holes 55 are provided on the folded walls 54, and these bolt holes 55 are evenly spaced. The edges of the side wall panels 53 have bolt holes 55 that match the spacing, position, and number of the bolt holes 55 on the folded walls 54. There are four side wall panels 53, with folded walls 54 vertically arranged inwards along the edges of two opposite side wall panels 53. Figure 4 As shown. The folded wall 54 is used to connect and support the waterproof layer 4 and adjacent wall panel modules 5, ensuring that there is at least one waterproof layer 4 at each contact point between each wall panel module 5, thereby strengthening the connection strength and sealing and leakage prevention capability of the entire magnetic medium pool 2. The waterproof layer 4 is composed of sealant, which is applied on-site by the installers during on-site assembly.

[0035] Specifically, both the lower wall panel 52 and the upper wall panel 51 are equipped with folded walls 54 around their perimeter, parallel to the surface of the corresponding side wall panels 53. The installer first positions the lower wall panel 52 as a base, then applies sealant to the folded walls 54, and then installs the side wall panels 53 sequentially. Bolts and nuts are then installed at the bolt holes 55 to connect the lower wall panel 52 and the side wall panels 53. The bolts are installed on the side for easy access. After other panels inside the magnetic medium tank 2 are installed, the upper wall panel 51 is installed. The upper wall panel 51 has pre-set bolt holes 55. The double-layer folding blade propeller 7 with a motor drive is installed through these bolt holes 55. The threaded holes on the upper wall panel 51 are preferably flange holes, connecting the folding blade propeller and the upper wall panel 51 via flanges, further improving the reliability of the connection while allowing for quick disassembly and assembly.

[0036] Similarly, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the PAM pool 3 is also a box-shaped structure formed by an upper wall panel 51, a lower wall panel 52, and four side wall panels 53. The upper wall panel 51 and the lower wall panel 52 have vertically arranged folded walls 54 along their edges. Bolt holes 55 are provided on the folded walls 54, and these bolt holes 55 are evenly spaced. The edges of the side wall panels 53 have bolt holes 55 that match the spacing, position, and number of the bolt holes 55 on the folded walls 54. There are four side wall panels 53, with folded walls 54 vertically arranged inwards along the edges of two opposite side wall panels 53. The folded walls 54 serve to connect and support the waterproof layer 4 and adjacent wall panel modules 5, ensuring that each wall panel module 5 has at least one waterproof layer 4 at each contact point, thus strengthening the connection strength and leak-proof sealing of the entire PAM pool 3. The waterproof layer 4 of the PAM pool 3 is also composed of sealant, which is applied on-site by the installers during assembly.

[0037] Specifically, the lower wall panel 52 and upper wall panel 51 of the PAM pool 3 are equipped with folded walls 54 around their perimeter, parallel to the corresponding side wall panels 53. The installers first position the lower wall panel 52 as a base, then apply sealant to the folded walls 54, and then install the side wall panels 53 sequentially. Bolts and nuts are installed at the bolt holes 55 to connect the lower wall panel 52 and the side wall panels 53. The bolts are installed on the side for easy operation. After other plates inside the magnetic medium pool 2 are installed, the upper wall panel 51 is installed. The upper wall panel 51 has pre-set bolt holes 55. The differential speed folding blade propeller 8 with a motor drive is installed through these bolt holes 55. The threaded holes on the upper wall panel 51 are preferably flange holes, connecting the folding blade propeller and the upper wall panel 51 via flanges. This improves the reliability of the connection while allowing for quick disassembly and assembly.

[0038] In this embodiment, the upper wall panel 51, lower wall panel 52, and four side wall panels 53 are connected by bolts, allowing the folded wall 54 and the side wall panels 53 to firmly press against the waterproof layer 4, ensuring sealing while also facilitating on-site installation and disassembly. If a certain area is damaged simultaneously, only the wall panel on the corresponding surface needs to be replaced, significantly reducing maintenance costs compared to existing integrated flocculation equipment.

[0039] Furthermore, the connecting member 6 between the magnetic medium tank 2 and the PAM tank 3 can be a detachable inlet flange pipe, ensuring sealing while also facilitating installation and removal via bolt connection. The inlet of the PAM tank 3 corresponds to the outlet of the magnetic medium tank 2. However, to minimize the footprint after installation and reduce the overall length, the gap between the magnetic medium tank and the PAM tank should not be too wide. Since the connecting pipe requires sufficient spacing for fastening bolts, this embodiment provides a more preferable connecting member 6, such as... Figure 5 The connecting member 6 includes a main pipe 61 and a support pipe 62 on the same axis. The support pipe 62 is disposed between the magnetic medium pool and the PAM pool. One end of the main pipe 61 is folded outward and has a folded ring 63. The other end is bolted to a mounting ring 64. The folded ring 63 and the support pipe 62 clamp the wall plate of the magnetic medium pool, and the support pipe 62 and the mounting ring 64 clamp the wall plate of the PAM pool.

[0040] Specifically, the main pipe 61 is installed from the inside of the magnetic medium pool 2 outwards, with one end of the main pipe 61 limited within the magnetic medium pool 2 by a folding ring 63. A support pipe 62 is then fitted onto the main pipe 61 outside the magnetic medium pool 2. The PAM pool 3 is then installed, with its surface abutting against the support pipe 62. At this point, the worker can use bolts to connect an installation ring 64, with a maximum diameter larger than the main pipe 61, from inside the PAM pool 3 to the wall of the main pipe 61. By tightening the bolts, the walls of the magnetic medium pool 2 and the PAM pool 3 are clamped by the support pipe 62 and the folding ring 63 and installation ring 64 on the main pipe 61. It is important to note that waterproof rings 65 are installed between the folding ring 63 and the wall of the magnetic medium pool 2, between the wall of the magnetic medium pool 2 and the support pipe 62, between the support pipe 62 and the wall of the PAM pool 3, and between the wall of the PAM pool 3 and the installation ring 64 to further ensure sealing.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to improve the sealing and waterproofing effect of the connecting piece 6, such as... Figure 5The support tube 62 has ring plate structures at both ends, meaning its cross-section is an "I"-shaped. Multiple threaded rods 66 are fixedly installed on the ring plates facing the other end. Preferably, the threaded rods 66 are welded to the ring plates, and support nuts 67 are threaded onto them. By rotating the support nuts 67, they abut against the ring plate at the other end, causing the ring plates at both ends of the support tube 62 to elastically deform in the opposite direction. This allows the entire support tube 62 to better abut against the magnetic medium pool 2 and the PAM pool 3, further ensuring the waterproof sealing capability of the connecting piece 6. It should be noted that the number of threaded rods 66 should not be excessive; three are preferred to ensure that workers can reach a long-handled wrench through the gap between the two pools to turn the support nuts 67 without interference from other threaded rods 66. Meanwhile, the length of the threaded rod 66 is set according to the actual distance between the two pools, which can be slightly smaller than the distance between the two ring plates of the support tube 62. When the threaded rod is set between the two ring plates, it is inserted with the gap between the two ring plates. Preferably, the length of the threaded rod 66 is longer than the distance between the two ring plates. A corresponding through hole is set on the ring plate at one end of the threaded rod 66 that is not fixedly connected, so that the threaded rod 66 can be inserted into this through hole and fixed on the ring plate at the other end when it is set, which makes it easier to set this structure.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a partition plate 56 is detachably installed inside the magnetic medium pool 2. The partition plate 56 is vertically arranged and divides the magnetic medium pool 2 into the PAC pool 1. A folding plate is provided at the edge of the partition plate 56. The folding plate is bolted to the wall panel module 5. Preferably, the folding plate is provided at the left, right, and bottom edges of the partition plate 56, so that the water in the PAC pool 1 flows into the magnetic medium pool 2 from above. The inlet of the PAC pool 1 is at the lower end of the side wall panel 53 opposite to the partition plate 56, and the outlet of the magnetic medium pool 2 is at the lower end of the other opposite side wall panel 53.

[0044] In this embodiment, the PAC pool 1 is integrated into the magnetic medium pool 2, changing the traditional multi-pool system into two pools. This effectively reduces the length and volume of the finished product flocculation equipment, and also reduces the time and labor intensity for workers to assemble the flocculation equipment. The partition plate 56 is set to prevent the magnetic medium pool 2 from disturbing the PAC pool 1 when it is being stirred.

[0045] Combining Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 can form a complete modular magnetic coagulation equipment. The outer shell of the coagulation equipment is composed of detachable wall panel modules 5. Only qualified wall panel modules 5 need to be produced, transported to the site, and then assembled. This avoids the problem of difficult transportation caused by the finished coagulation equipment being too wide or too long. At the same time, unlike the existing container-type equipment that is welded together, PAC pool 1, magnetic medium pool 2, and PAM pool 3 are all composed of their own wall panel modules 5 and are leak-proof by a waterproof layer 4. Each component is relatively independent, and subsequent maintenance and disassembly can be carried out in a targeted manner. At the same time, the assembled coagulation equipment can also be disassembled again, which facilitates the transportation of the equipment.

[0046] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
