Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of marine aquaculture and water treatment, and in particular to an integrated protein separator. Background Technology

[0002] In seawater aquarium water management, phosphate control is crucial. Existing technologies suffer from the following problems: 1. Imperfect chemical precipitation: Manually adding lanthanum chloride solution results in inaccurate dosage, suspended precipitates (lanthanum phosphate) affecting the health of organisms, and the inability to completely remove the precipitate; 2. Low automation: While attempts have been made to place the dosing tube near the protein skimmer, a proprietary, integrated automated dosing and separation solution is lacking; 3. Insufficient equipment reliability: The protein skimmer's inlet is prone to sucking in small organisms (such as snails and small crabs) or debris, causing the impeller of its core pump to seize, wear out, or even burn out, leading to high maintenance costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated solution that can simultaneously achieve precise automated dosing, efficient reaction separation, and active equipment protection. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an integrated protein separator that can simultaneously achieve precise automatic drug dosing, reliable operation, high phosphorus removal efficiency, and effective protection of core equipment.

[0004] This utility model discloses an integrated protein separator, comprising a protein separator body, a dosing unit, and a water inlet protection unit. The dosing unit is installed on the outside of the protein separator body, and its output end is connected to the input end of the protein separator body. The water inlet protection unit is installed on the input end of the protein separator body. The dosing unit ensures accurate and automated dosage, while the water inlet protection unit ensures the long-term stable operation of the protein separator body. Together, they constitute a highly reliable system. The reaction process is completed entirely within the system, eliminating the safety hazard of sediment entering the main tank and harming aquatic organisms, and realizing the "closed-loop" and "harmless" treatment of the dephosphorization process.

[0005] Preferably, the protein separator body includes a water pump, a reaction chamber, and a collection cup. The water pump is located at the lower part of the protein separator body, and an inlet pipe is provided at the input end of the water pump. The reaction chamber is provided inside the protein separator body, and the collection cup is located at the upper part of the protein separator body. The water pump transports the liquid, the reaction chamber provides the reaction space, and the collection cup collects the tiny bubbles generated by the protein separator like a magnet, adsorbing and collecting the fine precipitate particles.

[0006] Preferably, the dosing unit includes a peristaltic pump and an output hose. The output end of the peristaltic pump is connected to the output hose, and the output end of the output hose is connected to the water inlet pipe of the water pump. The prepared lanthanum chloride solution is injected into the water inlet pipe of the water pump through the output hose via the peristaltic pump. The peristaltic pump ensures the accuracy and automation of the drug metering.

[0007] Preferably, the water inlet protection unit includes a protective filter screen, which is installed on the water inlet pipe and has an opening with the same diameter as the output hose. The protective filter screen actively intercepts various impurities and organisms that may damage the water pump, fundamentally solving the industry pain point of egg separator water pumps being prone to jamming and damage, greatly extending the equipment life and reducing maintenance costs.

[0008] Preferably, the mesh size of the protective filter is 20 to 40 mesh, and the material is 316 stainless steel or special engineering plastic that is resistant to seawater corrosion.

[0009] Preferably, the protective filter screen is detachably connected to the water inlet pipe via a quick snap or threaded interface, enabling convenient "plug and play" operation.

[0010] Preferably, the dosing unit, protective filter, and water inlet pipe are integrated and packaged together to form a standard modular functional component.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the dosing unit ensures the accuracy and automation of the dosage, and the water inlet protection unit ensures the long-term stable operation of the protein separator. Together, they form a highly reliable system. The reaction process is completed entirely inside the system, eliminating the safety hazard of sediment entering the main tank and harming aquatic organisms, and realizing the "closed-loop" and "harmless" treatment of the dephosphorization process.

[0017] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the system includes a protein separator body 1, a dosing unit, and a water inlet protection unit. The protein separator body 1 includes a water pump 2, a reaction chamber 3, and a collection cup 4. The water pump 2 is located at the lower part of the protein separator body 1, and an inlet pipe 7 is provided at the input end of the water pump 2. The reaction chamber 3 is provided inside the protein separator body 1, and the collection cup 4 is located at the upper part of the protein separator body 1. The dosing unit includes a peristaltic pump 5 and an output hose 6. The output end of the peristaltic pump 5 is connected to the output hose 6, and the output end of the output hose 6 is connected to the inlet pipe 7 of the water pump 2. The water inlet protection unit includes a protective filter screen 8, which is installed on the inlet pipe 7. The protective filter screen 8 has an opening with the same diameter as the output hose 6. The mesh size of the protective filter screen 8 is 20 to 40 mesh, and the material is 316 stainless steel or special engineering plastic that is resistant to seawater corrosion. The protective filter screen 8 is detachably connected to the inlet pipe 7 through a quick snap or threaded interface. The dosing unit, the protective filter screen 8, and the inlet pipe 7 are integrated and packaged together to form a standard modular functional component.

[0019] The liquid is transported by water pump 2, the reaction chamber 3 provides the reaction space, and the collection cup 4 collects the tiny bubbles generated by the protein separator like a magnet by adsorbing fine precipitate particles. The prepared lanthanum chloride solution is injected into the water inlet pipe 7 of the water pump 2 through the output hose 6 via peristaltic pump 5. Peristaltic pump 5 ensures the accuracy and automation of reagent metering. The protective filter 8 actively intercepts various impurities and organisms that may damage the water pump, fundamentally solving the industry pain point of protein separator water pumps being prone to jamming and damage, greatly extending the equipment life and reducing maintenance costs. The protective filter 8 is detachably connected to the water inlet pipe 7 through quick snap or threaded interface, enabling convenient "plug and play" operation.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, this utility model discloses an integrated protein separator. During operation, a prepared lanthanum chloride solution is injected into the inlet pipe 7 of the water pump 2 via a peristaltic pump 5 and an output hose 6. The peristaltic pump 5 ensures accurate and automated dosage, while the protective filter 8 actively intercepts various impurities and organisms that may damage the water pump, fundamentally solving the industry pain point of protein separator pumps easily jamming and breaking down. Lanthanum chloride mixes with water in the protected inlet pipe 7 and reacts rapidly after entering the protein separator body 1, generating insoluble lanthanum phosphate precipitate. The tiny bubbles generated in the protein separator body 1 act like magnets to attract these fine precipitate particles, enriching them in the foam collection cup 4 and discharging them from the system, thereby achieving complete removal of phosphate. This process is completed entirely within the system, eliminating the safety hazard of precipitates entering the main tank and harming aquatic organisms, and realizing a "closed-loop" and "harmless" treatment of the dephosphater process.

[0021] The main function achieved by this utility model is to modularize and integrate complex functions, so that users do not need to assemble and debug multiple independent devices themselves, realizing convenient "plug and play" operation and greatly reducing the technical threshold for advanced water quality management.

[0022] The water pump 2 and peristaltic pump 5 of the integrated protein separator of this utility model are commercially available. Technical personnel in this industry only need to install and operate them according to the accompanying instruction manual, without requiring any creative work from those skilled in the art.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
