Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aeration pipe technology, and in particular to an aeration pipe support. Background Technology

[0002] An aeration pipe is a device used in water oxygenation or wastewater treatment processes to increase the dissolved oxygen content of water by introducing air into it. It is typically made of flexible or rigid materials and has internal micropores or small holes through which air is evenly released into the water, thereby promoting oxygen dissolution and pollutant removal.

[0003] In existing technologies, the aeration pipe is subjected to the combined effects of gas jet reaction force and water flow disturbance during the aeration process. The unsupported aeration pipe will sway significantly, and this dynamic force will be concentrated at the connection between the aeration pipe and the central pipe for a long time, which may lead to air leakage in severe cases. Therefore, we propose an aeration pipe support to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an aeration pipe support.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An aeration pipe support includes an air inlet pipe, a central pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the air inlet pipe, two tubular aerator bodies fixedly connected to the outer wall of the central pipe, a sliding sleeve slidably fitted on the outer wall of the air inlet pipe, two connecting sleeves fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve, connecting rods threadedly connected to the inner walls of the two connecting sleeves, a circular sleeve slidably fitted on the outer wall of the air inlet pipe, two steel wire ropes fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circular sleeve, a lifting ring fixedly connected to one end of each of the two steel wire ropes, the bottom of each of the two lifting rings fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two connecting rods respectively, a limiting component provided at one end of each connecting rod, threaded holes opened on the outer walls of both the sliding sleeve and the circular sleeve, and locking bolts threadedly connected to the inner walls of both threaded holes.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting component includes two T-shaped columns, one end of each of the two connecting rods is fixedly connected to one end of the two T-shaped columns, and a gasket is rotatably fitted on the outer wall of each of the two T-shaped columns. An end ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two gaskets. The limiting component supports one end of the tubular aerator body.

[0008] Preferably, a flange is fixedly connected to the top of the air intake pipe, and the flange is connected to the existing pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the inner walls of the two end rings are in contact with one end of the two tubular aerator bodies.

[0010] Preferably, two clamps are fixedly fitted on the outer wall of each of the two tubular aerator bodies, and the two clamps fix the position of the aeration membrane on the tubular aerator body.

[0011] Preferably, one end of each of the two locking bolts is pressed against the outer wall of the air intake pipe, and anti-loosening washers can be fitted on the threaded ends of the two locking bolts to increase the stability of the locking bolts after locking.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] This solution uses an end ring to press and fix the end of the tubular aerator body away from the central tube. Combined with a triangular support structure formed by a sliding sleeve, a circular sleeve, and a steel wire rope, it can significantly offset the reaction force of gas jet and the impact force generated by water flow disturbance. This greatly reduces the vibration amplitude and oscillation frequency of the tube body, avoids fatigue loosening of the connection parts due to long-term dynamic stress, and reduces the risk of air leakage at the source. The vertical movement of the sliding sleeve and the circular sleeve can flexibly adjust the height of the end ring, and the telescopic design of the connecting rod can adapt to tubular aerators of different lengths, so that the support structure can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual working conditions.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Depend on Figures 1-4 As shown, an aeration pipe support is disclosed, including an air inlet pipe 1. The air inlet pipe 1 can stably deliver compressed air generated by a blower to a central pipe 3 and a tubular aerator body 4. A flange 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the air inlet pipe 1, and the central pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the air inlet pipe 1. The central pipe 3 diverts the gas from the air inlet pipe 1 to the interior of the two tubular aerator bodies 4 to achieve uniform gas distribution and provide initial support for the tubular aerator bodies 4. The outer wall of the central pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the two tubular aerator bodies 4, and two clamps 14 are fixedly fitted on the outer wall of each of the two tubular aerator bodies 4.

[0022] The outer wall of the air inlet pipe 1 is fitted with a sliding sleeve 5. Two docking sleeves 6 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 5. The inner walls of the two docking sleeves 6 are threadedly connected with docking rods 7. The docking sleeves 6 cooperate with the docking rods 7 through threads, which not only provides a stable installation base for the docking rods 7, but also realizes the extension and retraction adjustment of the docking rods 7 through thread transmission, ensuring that the end ring 13 can abut against the end of the tubular aerator body 4.

[0023] A circular sleeve 8 is slidably fitted on the outer wall of the air inlet pipe 1. Two steel wire ropes 9 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circular sleeve 8. One end of each steel wire rope 9 is fixedly connected to a lifting ring 10. The bottom of the two lifting rings 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the two connecting rods 7 respectively. The constraint force of the circular sleeve 8 is transmitted to the connecting rods 7 through the steel wire ropes 9, so that the triangular support structure forms a stable mechanical balance, which counteracts the lateral force generated by the vibration of the tubular aerator body 4 and suppresses the swaying of the tube body.

[0024] Both the sliding sleeve 5 and the circular sleeve 8 have threaded holes on their outer walls, and the inner walls of the two threaded holes are threaded with locking bolts 15. One end of each locking bolt 15 is pressed against the outer wall of the air intake pipe 1.

[0025] One end of the connecting rod 7 is provided with a limiting component, which includes two T-shaped columns 11. One end of the two connecting rods 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the two T-shaped columns 11 respectively. The outer walls of the two T-shaped columns 11 are rotatably fitted with gaskets 12. The bottom of the two gaskets 12 is fixedly connected with end rings 13. The inner walls of the two end rings 13 are in contact with one end of the two tubular aerator bodies 4 respectively. The end rings 13 are fitted on the end of the tubular aerator body 4 and in contact with the tube wall. The thrust of the connecting rod 7 limits the tubular aerator body 4 from the end, disperses the support force, and prevents the suspended end of the tubular aerator body 4 from shifting due to vibration.

[0026] Except for the tubular aerator body 4, which is not made of stainless steel, all other structures are made of stainless steel.

[0027] Working principle: During use, the air inlet pipe 1 is connected to the existing pipeline via the top flange 2. Air intake is achieved using an existing blower. To prevent loosening at the connection between the tubular aerator body 4 and the central pipe 3, when supporting the end of the tubular aerator body 4 furthest from the central pipe 3, the other ends of the two tubular aerator bodies 4 are fixed to the outer wall of the central pipe 3 using existing methods. The sliding sleeve 5 and the circular sleeve 8 are then moved up and down along the air inlet pipe 1 to adjust the position of the end ring 13. Furthermore, depending on the length of the tubular aerator body 4, the connecting rod 7 can be rotated via the connecting sleeve 6, allowing the connecting rod 7 to extend and retract along the connecting sleeve 6, thus adjusting the end ring. After adjusting the lateral position of 13, insert the end ring 13 onto one end of the tubular aerator body 4, rotate the connecting rod 7 to move the end ring 13 and press it against one end of the tubular aerator body 4, rotate the locking bolt 15 on the sliding sleeve 5 to press its threaded end against the outer wall of the air inlet pipe 1, then move the round sleeve 8 upward to straighten the two steel wire ropes 9, forming a triangular support with the two connecting rods 7 to increase stability, then rotate the locking bolt 15 on the round sleeve 8 to press one end against the outer wall of the air inlet pipe 1 to fix the position of the round sleeve 8, and the outer wall of the locking bolt 15 is fitted with anti-loosening washers, so that the whole thing can pull and support one end of the tubular aerator body 4.

[0028] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market. Irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, the structure and principle of the components known to those skilled in the art can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0029] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
