Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning device for effectively removing algae and the like adhering to troughs and the like of a circular sedimentation tank used in a water and sewage treatment plant.

Background Art

[0002] In a circular sedimentation tank used in a water and sewage treatment plant, particularly in the final sedimentation tank in the latter stage of the treatment process where the water is purified, the dissolved oxygen in the treated water increases. In this state, when light and appropriate nutrients act, a large amount of algae adhere to the overflow notch of the treated water in the sedimentation tank and the trough through which the treated water flows out through the notch and grow. The generated algae contaminates the stored water in the sedimentation tank, and a putrid odor is generated due to the decay of a large amount of generated algae. To remove the generated algae, brushing by hand or cleaning with a high-pressure jet is performed, but workers are required. In summer, the growth of algae is rapid and an increase in the number of workers is necessary. Also, there is a method of applying an anti-algae paint to suppress the adhesion of algae, but it requires a lot of work such as removing the algae with a deck brush or the like before applying the paint, then killing the algae, further performing water washing and drying, and scouring with a wire brush or the like. Moreover, since the effectiveness lasts for about one and a half years, repainting is necessary.

[0003] Also, the places where the generated algae adhere are particularly the overflow notch of an outdoor circular sedimentation tank and the trough through which the treated water of the sedimentation tank flows out through the overflow notch. And there are various algae removal devices for each place where the algae adhere. For example, there is a removal device (Patent Document 1) in which a brush is attached (via a brush mounting plate) to the lower end of a brush support stay that extends downward into the overflow weir, and a handle provided on the upper part of the brush support stay is rotated to remove algae from inside the overflow weir, and there is a brushing device for a septic tank partition wall (Patent Document 2) which is attached to a septic tank partition wall with a T-shaped cross section and troughs attached in the longitudinal direction of the legs, and consists of a frame that can be moved longitudinally along the upper surface of the partition wall, a guide rod fixed perpendicularly to the side of the frame, a slider that can move up and down along the guide rod, a slider lifting device attached to the frame and consisting of a motor, a crankshaft and a connecting rod, a trough-shaped holder whose back is fixed to the slider, an arm that has a brush at its lower end that is pivotally attached to the holder in the center and can contact the required surface of the partition wall, an adjustment bolt that can screw through the upper end of the arm and press the bottom surface of the holder, and a guide wheel device attached to the frame opposite the arm and capable of gripping the partition wall together.

[0005] The aforementioned prior art methods all differ in the location where the algae are attached and the structure of the brushing process. Because circular sedimentation tanks are constructed using concrete from civil engineering works, the surface of the structure, which is the trough through which the treated water from the sedimentation tank flows out via the overflow notch, can have irregularities ranging from a few millimeters to sometimes several tens of millimeters. As a result, brushes cannot follow the irregularities of the circular sedimentation tank structure, leaving algae behind. Furthermore, as the surface deteriorates over time, the size and depth of the unevenness increase, preventing the brush from reaching the inside of the unevenness, resulting in some algae being left behind.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] The mode for carrying out the present invention will be described based on the drawings of the examples. FIG. 1 is a plan view of an example of the algae removal device in the circular sedimentation tank of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view taken along line A-A' of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 2, FIGS. 4 and 5 are enlarged views of the region indicated by the arrow line X in FIG. 3, and the description of the bracket 60 for the side algae removal brush, the side algae removal brush 61, the adjustment plate 62, etc. described in FIG. 5 to be described later is omitted in FIG. 4. Similarly to FIG. 4, FIG. 5 also omits the description of the central bottom algae removal brush 37, the bracket 38 for the side bottom algae removal brush, the side bottom algae removal brush 39, the algae removal brush 51 for the inclined surface of the overflow side trough side wall, the algae removal brush 52 for the upper surface of the overflow side trough side wall, the overflow side trough algae removal brush base 50 for attaching the algae removal brush 51 for the inclined surface of the overflow side trough side wall and the algae removal brush 52 for the upper surface of the overflow side trough side wall, etc. described in FIG. 4 to be described later. Figures 6 and 7 are structural diagrams of the algae removal device in the circular sedimentation tank of the present invention. Figure 6 is a view from the direction of arrow A in Figure 1, and Figure 7 is a view from the direction of arrow B in Figure 1. Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the method of using the algae removal device in the circular sedimentation tank of the present invention.

[0011] In Figures 1 to 9, 1 is a circular sedimentation tank, 2 is a trough, 3 is an overflow notch (wear plate), and 4 is a water storage tank (or septic tank). The trough from which the treated water from the circular sedimentation tank 1 flows out consists of an annular bottom wall 2b and an annular side wall 2a and an overflow side trough wall 2c erected thereon. The upper edge of the overflow trough side wall 2c is provided with a sawtooth-shaped overflow notch 3, which allows clean water from the upper layer to slowly and evenly overflow from the entire reservoir to the outside, preventing sludge and other sediment from being stirred up from the bottom of the reservoir 4. 10 is a passage located above the circular sedimentation tank 1, 20 is a center scraper (sludge scraper), 21 is a drive unit, and 22 is a center cage. The passage 10 provided in the circular sedimentation tank 1 is used for water quality testing in the water storage tank 4, as well as for inspection and repair of the center scraper 20 and drive unit 21. 30 is a support pole for the algae removal brush, 31 is an arm for the algae removal brush, 32 is an adjustment plate, 33 is a guide rod support member, 34 is a guide rod, 35 is a support plate, 36 is a base for the algae removal brush, 37 is an algae removal brush for the central bottom, 38 is a bracket for the algae removal brush for the side bottom, and 39 is an algae removal brush for the side bottom.

[0012] Since the side bottom algae removal brush 39 is configured in a triangular shape, it can remove algae from the corners of the bottom wall 2b of the trough 2 of the circular sedimentation tank 1. The guide rod support member 33 is attached to the algae removal brush arm 31 so that its position in the trough width direction can be adjusted using fasteners 40 such as bolts, nuts, and washers on an adjustment plate 32 provided with an elongated hole. The fasteners described below will also be described as examples using nuts and washers. A guide rod 34 is attached to the guide rod support member 33, and a support plate 35 is attached to the guide rod 34 via pivoting pins 35a and 35b. A base 36 for the algae removal brush is attached to the support plate 35. With this configuration, the left-right position of the algae removal brush base 36 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the guide rod support member 33 in the trough width direction, thereby allowing the left-right position of the central bottom algae removal brush 37 and the side bottom algae removal brushes 39 to be adjusted.

[0013] Furthermore, the algae-removing brush base 36 is suspended from the guide rod support member 33 by a wire 41. When the algae-removing brush base 36 moves up and down according to the unevenness of the bottom surface of the bottom wall 2b, the length of the wire 41 is adjusted to maintain a certain level of brushing force for the brushes (37, 39, etc.) on the algae-removing brush base 36, allowing the brushes to move without bending. If the brushes bend too much, the tips of the brushes will not catch properly on the brushing surface, and the brushing force will weaken. Therefore, the tips of the brushes are positioned upright on the brushing surface to maintain the brushing force.

[0014] Furthermore, a support plate 35 is attached to the algae removal brush base 36 via pivot pins 35a and 35b. When the algae removal brush base 36 moves up and down in accordance with the unevenness of the bottom surface of the bottom wall 2b, the pivot pins 35a and 35b rotate in the direction shown in Figure 8. The central bottom algae removal brush 37 and the side bottom algae removal brush 39 attached to the algae removal brush base 36, along with the weight of other parts attached to the algae removal brush base 36, press the central bottom algae removal brush 37 and the side bottom algae removal brush 39 along the unevenness of the bottom surface of the bottom wall 2b, thereby enabling thorough cleaning of the uneven bottom surface of the bottom wall 2b.

[0015] Reference numeral 50 denotes a base for the overflow-side trough algae removal brush, to which the overflow-side trough side wall slope brush 51 and the overflow-side trough side wall upper surface algae removal brush 52 are attached. It is attached to the algae removal brush base 36 by a mounting plate 53 and a support shaft 54. As described above, the base 50 for the overflow trough algae removal brush is connected to the base 36 for the algae removal brush via the mounting plate 53, so that the algae removal brush 51 for the slope of the overflow trough side wall and the algae removal brush 52 for the upper surface of the overflow trough side wall can move left and right in accordance with the left and right movement of the base 36 for the algae removal brush. Furthermore, the base 50 for the overflow side trough algae removal brush is suspended by a guide rod support member 33 and a wire 55. When the base 50 for the overflow side trough algae removal brush moves up and down in accordance with the irregularities of the upper surface 2d and the slope 2e of the overflow side trough side wall, the length of the wire 55 can be adjusted to maintain a certain level of brushing force for the brushes (51, 52) provided on the base 50 for the overflow side trough algae removal brush, allowing the brushes to move without bending.

[0016] 60 is the bracket for the side algae removal brush, 61 is the side algae removal brush, 62 is the adjustment plate, and 63 is the fixing device. The bracket 60 for the side algae brush is attached to the base 36 for the algae brush so that its position can be adjusted by fasteners 63 on an adjustment plate 62 with an elongated hole, thereby allowing the position of the side algae brush 61 to be adjusted in the left-right direction. Furthermore, the bracket 60 for the side algae-removing brush is attached to the base 36 for the algae-removing brush, which is suspended by a wire 41 from the guide rod support member 33. The side algae-removing brush 61 can move vertically in accordance with the vertical movement of the base 36 due to the unevenness of the bottom surface of the bottom wall 2b.

[0017] Furthermore, the guide rod 34, which is connected to the algae removal brush base 36 via a support plate 35, is rotatable horizontally as shown in Figure 9. As the algae removal brush base 36 attempts to move left or right in the trough width direction in accordance with the irregularities of the surface of the annular side wall 2a and the side wall surface 2f of the overflow side trough, the guide rod 34 rotates. Therefore, the side algae removal brush 61, the side bottom algae removal brush 39, and the overflow side trough side wall slope algae removal brush 51 provided on the algae removal brush base 36 move in the trough width direction in accordance with the irregularities of the surface of the annular side wall 2a, the side wall surface 2f of the overflow side trough, and the side wall slope 2e of the overflow side trough. This allows for thorough cleaning of the irregular surfaces of the annular side wall 2a, the side wall surface 2f of the overflow side trough, and the side wall slope 2e of the overflow side trough. Furthermore, the rotation mechanism in the rotating pins 35a and 35b and the guide rod 34 described in

[0016] above may be modified by replacing the support plate 35 that pulls the algae removal brush base 36 and the rotating pins 35a and 35b with ropes or the like.

[0018] 70 is the base for the overflow notch algae removal brush connected to the algae removal brush arm 31, 71 is the bracket for the overflow notch algae removal brush, 72 is the overflow notch algae removal brush, and 73 is the fixing device. The bracket 71 for the overflow notch algae removal brush is provided with an elongated hole and is movably attached to the base 70 for the overflow notch algae removal brush by a fixing device 73 so that its position can be adjusted. This allows for vertical position adjustment of the overflow notch algae removal brush 72.

[0019] Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the method of using the algae removal device in the circular sedimentation tank of the present invention. Figure 8 is a side view, and Figure 9 is a plan view of Figure 8. As shown in Figure 8, when the center scraper 20 is rotated by the drive device 21, the algae removal brush arm 31, which is connected to the algae removal brush support pole 30 connected to the center scraper 20, rotates. As the algae-removing brush arm 31 rotates, the guide rod support member 33, which is movably attached to the algae-removing brush arm 31 by an adjustment plate 32 and a fixing device 40, rotates in the same direction as the rotation of the algae-removing brush arm 31. When the guide rod support member 33 rotates, the guide rod 34 to which the guide rod support member 33 is connected, and the algae removal brush base 36, which is connected to the guide rod 34 via the support plate 35, rotate in the same direction.

[0020] As the algae removal brush base 36 rotates, the central bottom algae removal brush 37, the side bottom algae removal brush 39, the overflow side trough side wall slope algae removal brush 51, the overflow side trough side wall upper surface algae removal brush 52, and the side algae removal brush 61, all connected via the algae removal brush base 36, rotate in the same direction. This makes it possible to remove algae attached to the annular side wall 2a, the annular bottom wall 2b, the upper surface 2d of the overflow side trough side wall, the slope 2e of the overflow side trough side wall, and the surface 2f of the overflow side trough side wall of the circular sedimentation tank. Similarly, when the algae-removing brush arm 31 rotates, the overflow notch algae-removing brush bracket 71, which is attached to the overflow notch algae-removing brush base 70 connected to the algae-removing brush arm 31, rotates in the same direction, causing the overflow notch algae-removing brush 72, which is attached to the overflow notch algae-removing brush bracket 71, to rotate in the same direction. This makes it possible to remove algae attached to the structure, such as the overflow notch 3 of the circular sedimentation tank and the trough 2 through which treated water flows.
