Description

Mountain arbor moving device

[0001] The present invention relates to a mobile device that facilitates maintenance and management of a mountaineering equipment.

[0002] Biological wastewater treatment methods operate by using microorganisms within a treatment tank to remove nitrogen and phosphorus, which are problematic constituents of wastewater. They utilize aeration pipes to nitrify the wastewater and supply oxygen to the microorganisms. Aeration pipes share the common feature of discharging air through a membrane, and come in various shapes, including circular, rod-shaped, and plate-shaped.

[0003] Circular diffusers are round and have a synthetic resin frame that holds the membrane in place. They come in open and supportive configurations. Rod-shaped diffusers are long, rod-shaped, with membranes secured to both ends. Plate-shaped diffusers are long, rectangular, and the membrane can be secured to the side by a frame, molded onto a plate, or by crimping and securing the upper side edges with numerous bolts.

[0004] If the membrane attached to the diffuser is torn, the air supply increases, resulting in increased power consumption. Therefore, if a problem occurs with the diffuser, it must be replaced. However, conventional diffusers are fixed to the bottom of the tank and cannot be moved. Therefore, replacing them requires removing all the wastewater inside the tank, which is inconvenient.

[0005] Accordingly, the present invention has been developed to solve the above-described problems, and aims to provide a mobile device that is easy to maintain and manage.

[0006] Other objects of the present invention will become more apparent through the embodiments described below.

[0007] A device for moving a diffuser according to one aspect of the present invention comprises an upper part and a lower part, a belt that rotates while passing through the upper part and the lower part and is detachably coupled to the diffuser, and a driving means that is coupled to the upper part and transmits driving force to the belt.

[0008] The aeration device according to the present invention may include one or more of the following embodiments. For example, the belt may be formed of a flexible material. Furthermore, the belt may be provided in pairs, one on the left and one on the right.

[0009] The upper part and the lower part can be positioned parallel to the bottom surface of the joint, and the connecting part can be positioned perpendicular to the bottom surface of the joint.

[0010] The lower part may have a guide rail, and the diffuser may have a diffuser guide member inserted into the guide rail.

[0011] The mountain guide member can have elasticity by having both ends bent into a curved shape.

[0012] The air vent can be connected to the belt at a certain interval by a belt connecting member.

[0013] The driving means may be capable of forward and reverse rotation.

[0014] An additional connecting part can be provided to connect the upper and lower parts.

[0015] As discussed above, the problem-solving means of the present invention can be expected to produce various effects, including the following. However, the present invention is not established unless all of the following effects are achieved.

[0016] The present invention can provide a mobile device that is easy to maintain and manage.

In describing with reference to the attached drawings, identical or corresponding components are given the same reference numerals regardless of the drawing symbols, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0026] FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are perspective views each illustrating a diffuser moving device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 illustrates a state in which a plurality of diffusers (170) are positioned in an upper part (110), and FIG. 2 illustrates a state in which the diffusers (170) are positioned in a lower part (150). FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating an upper part (110) of the diffuser moving device (100), and FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a lower part (150) of the diffuser moving device (100). In addition, FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of FIG. 4, and FIGS. 6 and 7 are drawings each illustrating a diffuser (170).

[0027] For reference, in FIGS. 1 and 2, three air diffusers (170) are illustrated as being connected to a belt (140), but the number of air diffusers (170) connected to a belt (140) may vary.

[0028] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the diffuser moving device (100) according to the present embodiment corresponds to a moving device that positions the diffuser (170) inside a tank (not shown) (or inside the fluid if the tank is filled with fluid) (see FIG. 2) or outside the tank (or outside the fluid if the tank is filled with fluid) (see FIG. 1). The diffuser (170) is coupled to a rotating belt (140) provided in the moving device (100) and can be positioned inside or outside the tank or inside or outside the fluid.

[0029] The upper part (110) of the diffuser moving device (100) corresponds to a part that is located entirely or partially outside the tank or outside the fluid filled in the tank. When the diffuser (170) is located at the upper part of the tank or outside the fluid by the rotation of the belt (140), the diffuser (170) can be easily repaired or managed. In addition, after the maintenance of the diffuser (170) is completed, the belt (140) can be rotated by the driving means (114) to position the diffuser (170) in the lower part (150) so that it is located inside the fluid.

[0030] The upper part (110) can be positioned at any angle between horizontal and vertical.

[0031] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the upper part (110) includes a pair of driving members (112) and a driving shaft (113) connecting them. The driving member (112) is coupled to a belt (140) to transmit rotational force to the belt (140), and may have a plurality of protrusions formed on its outer surface to have a gear shape. The protrusions of the driving member (112) are inserted into grooves (not shown) formed in the belt (140) to reliably transmit driving force to the belt (140). In addition, the pair of driving members (112) are coupled to a driving shaft (113) to rotate at the same speed and direction.

[0032] The driving member (112) can rotate by receiving rotational force from the driving means (114). The driving means (114) includes a motor and a reduction device and provides rotational force in a forward and reverse direction to the driving member (112). When the driving means (114) provides rotational force in a forward direction, the belt (140) can be rotated so that the diffuser (170) is positioned in the lower part (150) as shown in FIG. 2. In addition, when the driving means (114) provides rotational force in a reverse direction, the belt (140) can be rotated so that the diffuser (170) is positioned in the upper part (110) as shown in FIG. 1.

[0033] The mountaineering machine (100) according to this embodiment exemplifies a motor and a reducer (geared motor) as a driving means (114) for rotating a belt (140), but the present invention is not limited by the configuration, type, and number of driving means.

[0034] The upper part (110) may include a pair of upper frames (120). The upper frame (120) is a member that allows the upper part (110) to have a flat portion, and a driving member (112) and an upper guide member (116) may be rotatably coupled to both ends thereof. In addition, a position adjusting member (122) is provided on a side of the upper frame (120).

[0035] The upper guide member (116) serves to guide the belt (140) as a pair of guide rollers. The upper guide member (116) allows the belt (140) to be positioned from the upper part (110) having a horizontal or slightly inclined surface to the connecting part (130) having a vertical or nearly vertical inclined surface.

[0036] The position adjusting member (122) allows the position of the driving member (112) to be adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the upper frame (120). The position adjusting member (122) may correspond to a screw guide, and the position of the driving member (112) can be adjusted by moving in a straight line by rotation of the screw guide.

[0037] The upper part (110) may include motor plates (118) on both sides. A driving means (114) may be coupled to at least one of the pair of motor plates (118).

[0038] The upper part (110) may include a connecting plate (124). The upper part of the connecting plate (124) may be connected to the upper frame (120), and the lower part may be connected to the vertical frame (132) of the connecting part (130).

[0039] Although the upper part (110) according to the present embodiment is exemplified as being formed symmetrically left and right, the air duct moving device according to another embodiment of the present invention may be provided with one driving member (112) and an upper guide member (116), or may be provided with three or more driving members (112) and an upper guide member (116).

[0040] The connecting part (130) connects the upper part (110) and the lower part (150) and is formed at a vertical or nearly vertical angle. The lower part (150) and the upper part (110) are spaced apart from each other by a certain distance by the connecting part (130). In addition, the connecting part (130) has a pair of vertical frames (132), and the vertical frames (132) may have a cross-section in the shape of a ㄷ.

[0041] Although the air-dispersing device (100) according to the present embodiment is exemplified as having a connecting part (130), the air-dispersing device according to another embodiment of the present invention may not have a connecting part and may only have an upper part (110) and a lower part (150). In this case, the upper part (110) and the lower part (150) may be spaced apart from each other by a certain distance and may be interconnected by a belt (140).

[0042] The belt (140) sequentially passes through the upper part (110), the connecting part (130), and the lower part (150) and serves to move the air diffuser (170) coupled thereto. That is, the belt (140) can rotate like an endless track by being coupled with the driving member (112) and the upper guide member (116) of the upper part (110) and the guide roller (154), the lower guide member (156), and the switching guide member (158) of the lower part (150). In addition, since the belt (140) is formed of a flexible material and its shape changes, it can sequentially pass through the upper part (110), the connecting part (130), and the lower part (150).

[0043] A number of grooves (not shown) are formed on one side of the belt (140) so that a protrusion formed on the outer surface of the driving member (112) can be inserted.

[0044] Although the air-breathing device (100) according to this embodiment is exemplified as having a pair of belts (140), the air-breathing device according to another embodiment of the present invention may have one or three or more belts (140).

[0045] The air distribution device (100) according to this embodiment uses a belt (140) made of a flexible material and has the advantage of being simple and easy to move the air distribution device (170) because the air distribution device (170) is connected to the upper portion of the belt and moved.

[0046] The lower part (150) is located on the bottom surface of the tank or is mainly located inside the fluid filled in the tank and may have a horizontal or nearly horizontal inclination angle. When the air diffuser (170) is located in the lower part (150), the air diffuser (170) can be immersed in the fluid and discharge air. In addition, the air diffuser (170) located in the lower part (150) can move to the upper part (110) via the connecting part (130) by the rotation of the belt (140).

[0047] In FIGS. 1 to 2 and FIG. 4, the lower part (150) is illustrated as having a length sufficient to accommodate three diffusers (170), but the present invention is not limited by the length and width of the lower part (150).

[0048] The lower part (150) may have a pair of side plates (152) in the shape of an L. One end of the side plate (152) is connected to a vertical frame (132), and an additional frame (not shown) may be coupled to the other end to extend the length of the lower part (150). The side plate (152) has a curved portion, which allows the horizontal portions of the vertical frame (132) and the lower part (152) to be smoothly connected in a curve.

[0049] A plurality of guide rollers (154) are provided on the curved portion of the side plate (152). The guide rollers (154) can smoothly move the curved portion of the belt (140) by coming into contact with the belt (140).

[0050] A lower guide member (156) is provided on the inner side of the side plate (152). That is, the rotational axis (without drawing symbol) of the lower guide member (156) passes through the side plate (152) and is rotatably connected to the fixed bearing (188). The belt (140) rises through the lower part of the lower guide member (156) and passes through the driving member (112).

[0051] A switching guide member (158) is provided on the inner end of the side plate (152). That is, the rotation axis (without drawing symbol) of the switching guide member (158) passes through the side plate (152) and is rotatably connected to a fixed bearing (188). The belt (140) moves through the upper and lower parts of the switching guide member (158).

[0052] A stopper (160) is provided on one side of the switching guide member (158). The stopper (160) is provided on the side of the switching guide member (158) on the inside of the side plate (152) and serves to contact the air vent (170) and limit its movement.

[0053] A pair of support frames (162) are provided at the bottom of the side plate (152). The pair of support frames (162) are spaced apart from each other at a certain interval, and a belt (140) can move through the interval. In addition, the support frames (162) cause the side plates (152) to be spaced apart from the floor surface at a certain interval. In addition, a pair of fixed bearings (188) are provided at one end and the other end of the upper portion of the support frame (162). The fixed bearings (188) are rotatably coupled to the rotation axes of the lower guide member (156) and the switching guide member (158), respectively.

[0054] A guide rail (164) is provided on the upper portion of the side plate (152). The guide rail (164) is a member having a cross-section in the shape of a letter “ㄷ,” and an air diffuser guide member (176) of an air diffuser (170) can be inserted into the interior thereof. By inserting the air diffuser guide member (176) into the guide rail (164), vibration of the air diffuser (170) during gas supply can be suppressed.

[0055] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the diffuser (170) may have a cover plate (172), a side plate (186), and a bottom plate (178) and may have a constant length. In addition, the diffuser (170) formed by the cover plate (172), the side plate (186), and the bottom plate (178) has an internal space into which gas can be supplied.

[0056] A plurality of exhaust holes (174) may be formed in the longitudinal direction of the cover plate (172). Gas supplied into the interior of the air distribution tube (170) may be exhausted to the outside through the exhaust holes (174).

[0057] A diffuser guide member (176) may be formed on the side of the side plate (186). As mentioned above, the diffuser guide member (176) is inserted into the guide rail (164) formed in the lower part (150). In particular, both ends of the diffuser guide member (176) have a shape in which an elastic member such as metal is bent into a curve with a certain height, thereby providing elasticity. Therefore, when the diffuser guide member (176) is inserted into the inside of the guide rail (164), it can easily enter the inside of the guide rail (164) by slightly contracting due to the elasticity and can be firmly positioned therein.

[0058] At the lower part of the bottom plate (178), a pair of belt connecting members (180) are provided for connecting the air diffuser (170) and the belt (140). The belt connecting members (180) are connected to the bottom plate (178) and have a pair of side plates (182) so that the air diffuser (170) has a certain height with respect to the belt (140). The pair of side plates (182) are connected to each other by a belt connecting plate (184) that is in contact with the belt (140). A plurality of connecting holes (without drawing symbol) are formed in the belt connecting plate (184) so ​​that the belt (140) can be screw-connected.

[0059] Although the air diffuser moving device (100) according to the present invention is exemplified as being coupled with a box-shaped air diffuser (170) as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, the present invention is not limited by the shape, structure, size, etc. of the air diffuser coupled to the belt (140). Therefore, the air diffuser moving device according to another embodiment of the present invention can be coupled with air diffusers of various shapes such as circular and rod-shaped, and can have one or three or more belt structures rather than a pair, so that air diffusers of various shapes can be arranged in various forms.

[0060] Air can be supplied to the air distribution system (170) by various structures and means. For example, air can be supplied to the air distribution system (170) by injecting air into the interior of the belt (140) and connecting it to the air distribution system (170), or air can be supplied to the air distribution system (170) by providing a separate air supply pipe.

[0061] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to one embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below.
