Description

  The present invention relates to a sand settling basin in which sand contained in received water settles in a groove provided at the bottom of the pond.

  In the sewage treatment system, sewage such as sewage or rainwater is received, and the sand contained in the sewage is allowed to settle in the bottom surface of the pond or the groove provided in the bottom of the pond. Some sand ponds are provided to move sand in the predetermined direction to collect the accumulated sand and remove the collected sand from the sewage. This sand settling basin is known to have sand collection means for moving sand accumulated in the bottom and grooves at the bottom of the pond toward the downstream side in the fluid discharge direction by the flow of fluid discharged from the discharge port. It has been. In sand collection using this fluid, the accumulated sand may be rolled up by the discharged fluid. For this reason, an inclined plate inclined downward toward the downstream side in the discharge direction is arranged above the lower part of the pond at intervals along the discharge direction, and the sand settling to prevent the sand from rolling up by the inclined plate A pond has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-70503

  However, in the inclined plate described in Patent Document 1, the inclined plate is disposed so as to face the discharge direction, so that the fluid discharged from the discharge port is blocked and the sand may not move sufficiently. is there. For this reason, if the discharge pressure of the discharge port is increased in order to move the sand sufficiently, this time, the sand is rolled up along the inclined plate by the momentum of the discharged fluid, and the rolled sand causes the bottom of the pond There is a risk that the sedimentation of sand into the water will be hindered. Moreover, in the inclination board described in patent document 1, the string-like contaminant (for example, hair and vinyl string) contained in the received sewage in the inclination board arrange | positioned at intervals along the discharge direction. Is easy to wind. If string-like contaminants are wound around the inclined plate, it is difficult for the sand to settle to the lower part of the pond due to the contaminants wound around the inclined plate.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a sand settling basin capable of suppressing sand winding and string-like contaminants contained in sewage while sufficiently moving sand.

The sand basin of the present invention that solves the above object is a sand basin in which the sand contained in the received water sinks into a groove provided at the bottom of the pond,
A space forming member in which an upper end portion forms a closed space, and a suction port spaced from the bottom of the groove is provided below the upper end portion;
A discharge port for discharging fluid into the space;
The suction port functions as an opening that sucks sand accumulated in the groove into the space by discharging fluid from the discharge port,
The space forming member functions as a path in which the sand sucked into the space moves toward the downstream side in the discharge direction of the fluid when the fluid is discharged from the discharge port.
The pond lower part has a groove forming body for forming the groove,
The space forming member is connected to the one end side in a state of being separated from the other end side among the one end side and the other end side in the width direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the groove of the groove forming body, It is provided along the extending direction of the groove.

  Here, the space forming member may be provided with an interval in the extending direction of the groove while having a sufficient length. In addition, the sufficient length here should just be longer than the length of the string-like contaminant considered normally.

  Each of the groove forming body and the space forming member may have a C-shaped (arc-shaped), U-shaped, V-shaped, or U-shaped cross section.

  The space forming member may be connected to the upper end portion on the one end side of the groove forming body, or may be connected to an intermediate portion in the vertical direction on the one end side.

  According to the sand basin of the present invention, a fluid is discharged from the discharge port into the space, so that a pressure difference is generated between the space forming member (the space) and the outside, and accumulated in the lower portion of the pond. Sand is sucked into the space from the suction port. Furthermore, in the space, the sucked sand moves toward the downstream side in the discharge direction by the flow of the fluid. The sand that moves in the space is unlikely to go out of the space forming member at the portion where the pressure difference is generated, and the sand is prevented from rolling up. Further, the space forming member is connected to the one end side in a state of being separated from the other end side of the groove forming body, and is provided along the extending direction of the groove. Sand sedimentation can be received from between the other end of the body and the space forming member. For this reason, the said space formation member can be formed long in the extension direction of the said groove | channel, and the winding of a long contaminant can be suppressed.

Further, in the sand basin of the present invention, the space forming member is provided in the groove,
The suction port may be located below the opening of the groove.

  According to this aspect, the sand that has settled in the groove is easily sucked into the space from the suction port, and the sand can be moved more efficiently.

  Moreover, in the sand basin of the present invention, the space forming member may have a part shared with a part of the groove forming body.

  By sharing a part in this way, it is easy to secure a space between the other end side of the groove forming body and the space forming member, which causes the sand to settle into the groove, and the sand is in the groove. It becomes easy to settle.

  Here, each of the space forming member and the groove forming body may have an arc shape having a different cross-sectional shape. In this case, the common part of the space forming member and the groove forming body may have the curvature of the space forming member, or may have the curvature of the groove forming body. A combination of the curvature portion of the member and the curvature portion of the groove forming body may be used.

  Furthermore, in the sand basin of the present invention, the space forming member may have a curved surface at the upper end.

  By doing so, sand is prevented from accumulating on the space forming member.

Further, in the sand basin of the present invention, the pond lower part has a pair of inclined surfaces inclined downward toward the groove on both sides in the width direction of the groove,
One of the pair of inclined surfaces is a lower end portion connected to the other end side of the groove forming body,
The other of the pair of inclined surfaces may have a lower end portion connected to the upper end portion of the space forming member.

  Since one of the pair of inclined surfaces has a lower end portion connected to the other end side of the groove forming body, sand flows into the groove from the one inclined surface. Further, the other of the pair of inclined surfaces has a lower end portion connected to the upper end portion of the space forming member, and therefore, the space forming member formed of a curved surface from the other inclined surface. The sand that has flowed down to the upper end portion smoothly flows into the groove without accumulating in the upper end portion of the space forming member.

  Furthermore, in the sand basin of the present invention, the space forming member may be connected to the one end side over substantially the entire length of the groove.

  By carrying out like this, sand can be suck | inhaled in the said space over the substantially full length of the said groove | channel, and possibility that a mixture will wind around the said space formation member itself will be reduced more.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the sand settling basin which can suppress the winding of sand and winding of the string-shaped contaminant contained in sewage can be provided, moving sand fully.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. A sand basin according to an embodiment of the present invention is disposed on the upstream side of a sewage treatment system, and after sedimenting sand contained in sewage or sewage such as rainwater, the sedimented sand is moved to a sand collecting pit. Remove from sewage.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view of a sand basin corresponding to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from above, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the sand basin shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the sand settling basin 1 is a rectangular pond that includes a dust remover 2, a trough 3, a sand collecting pit 4, and a pump well 5. Hereinafter, the long side direction of the sand basin 1 may be referred to as the long side direction, and the short side direction may be referred to as the width direction. The sand basin 1 shown in FIG. 1 receives sewage from the right side of the figure, and the received water slowly flows toward the left side of the figure (see the straight arrows shown in FIGS. 1 and 2). That is, the longitudinal direction of the sand basin is the direction of water flow, and in FIGS. 1 and 2, the right side of the figure is the upstream side of the water flow in the sand basin and the left side is the downstream side. Further, water is discharged from the discharge port 7 described later to the right side of FIGS. 1 and 2. That is, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the right side of the drawing is the downstream side in the discharge direction and the left side is the upstream side in the discharge direction.

  The dust remover 2 is for removing contaminants mixed in the sewage flowing into the sand basin 1, and is installed upstream of the trough 3. The dust remover 2 includes an endless chain 21, a plurality of rakes 22 attached to the endless chain 21 at intervals, and a filtration screen 23 that is submerged in water. The endless chain 21 is provided so as to stand obliquely on both sides in the width direction of the sand basin 1 and is wound around a ground-side sprocket 211 and a pond bottom-side sprocket 212 as shown in FIG. Yes. When the endless chain 21 is driven, the rake 22 enters and exits the water. The filtration screen 23 is disposed on the downstream side of the endless chain 21. The filter screen 23 is formed by arranging bars extending in the vertical direction at a predetermined interval (for example, 25 mm to 75 mm), and blocks the passage of contaminants having a size greater than the predetermined interval. The contaminants blocked by the filter screen 23 are lifted up by the rake 22, and the lifted contaminants are placed on a conveying means such as a belt conveyor (not shown) on the ground side.

  On the downstream side of the dust remover 2, a sand collecting pit 4 for collecting sand accumulated in the pond lower portion 1a is provided. Inside the sand collecting pit 4, a sand pump 41 is provided. The sand pump 41 is disposed in the vicinity of the bottom surface of the sand collecting pit 4, and conveys the sand collected in the sand collecting pit 4 to the outside of the sand basin 1. A sand raising pipe 42 is connected to the sand raising pump 41. The sand sucked by the sand pump 41 is sent to the outside of the sand basin 1 through the sand pipe 42.

  The trough 3 is provided between the sand collecting pit 4 and the pump well 5. That is, the trough 3 is provided downstream of the sand collecting pit 4 and upstream of the pump well 5. As will be described later, the trough 3 includes a groove forming body 31 that forms a groove provided in a pond lower portion 1 a of the sand basin 1. The pond lower part 1 a is provided with an inclined surface 6 as described later, and a trough 3 is provided so as to be connected to the inclined surface 6. The sand in the sewage that has flowed into the sand basin 1 sinks toward the pond lower part 1a and accumulates in the pond lower part 1a.

  The pump well 5 stores sewage from which sand has been removed. The pump well 5 is disposed on the most downstream side of the sand basin 1. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the bottom surface of the pump well 5 is the deepest part in the sand basin 1. A pumping pump 51 is provided in the pump well 5. The pump 51 moves sewage stored in the pump well 5 to the outside of the sand basin 1. A pumping pipe 52 is connected to the pumping pump 51. The sewage sucked by the pump 51 is sent to a sedimentation basin (not shown) through the pumping pipe 52. WL shown in FIG. 2 represents the surface of sewage. The position of the water surface WL varies depending on the amount of sewage flowing into the sand settling basin 1 such that the height from the bottom surface of the trough 3 is, for example, 1 m or more and 5 m or less.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the trough 3 is provided at the center in the width direction of the sand basin 1 and extends in a predetermined direction from a position upstream of the pump well 5. That is, it extends toward the sand collecting pit 4. The upstream end of the trough 3 is connected to the sand collecting pit 4, and the sand accumulated in the trough 3 is moved to the sand collecting pit 4 by the flow of water discharged from a discharge port described later.

  The trough 3 of the sand basin 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a space forming member 32. The space forming member 32 is formed over the entire length of the trough 3. A detailed description of the space forming member 32 will be described later.

  Fig.3 (a) is BB sectional drawing in FIG. In FIG. 3A, the horizontal direction in the figure is the width direction of the trough 3.

  FIG. 3A shows a lower portion of a pair of inclined surfaces 6 provided on the pond lower portion 1 a and a trough 3 provided so as to be connected to the inclined surfaces 6. As shown in FIG. 3A, the inclined surfaces 6 are provided on both sides of the trough 3 in the width direction. The inclined surface 6 is made of concrete inclined downward toward the trough 3, and extends in the longitudinal direction between the position on the upstream side of the pump well 5 and the sand collecting pit 4.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, the trough 3 has a first arc-shaped member 3a and a second arc-shaped member 3b each having a cross-sectional shape of 5/8 arc and a total length of about 15 m. . The first arc-shaped member 3a and the second arc-shaped member 3b are formed by cutting out a part of a pipe material made of stainless steel or the like. The first arc-shaped member 3a is a portion from 9 o'clock to 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock (3/8) of a pipe member having a thickness of about 3 to 4 mm and a diameter of about 250 mm. (Arc) is cut out. Further, the second arcuate member 3b is a pipe member having a thickness of about 3 to 4 mm and a diameter of about 150 mm, which is a portion between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock to 9 o'clock (3 / 8 arcs). The trough 3 is formed by abutting and joining the end corresponding to 9 o'clock of the second arcuate member 3b with the end corresponding to 9 o'clock of the second arcuate member 3b. A space forming member 32 and a groove forming body 31 are formed by the first arc-shaped member 3a and the second arc-shaped member 3b.

  The space forming member 32 and the groove forming body 31 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram for conceptually explaining the space forming member and the groove forming body in the trough shown in FIG. 3. The figure (a) is a figure which shows a trough, the figure (b) is a figure which shows a space formation member, and the figure (c) is a figure which shows a groove formation body. In FIG. 4, the left-right direction is the width direction of the trough 3, and the direction orthogonal to the paper surface is the extending direction of the trough 3.

  As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 4, the trough 3 includes a space forming member 32 and a groove forming body 31 extending over the entire length of the trough 3. The width direction of the space forming member 32 and the groove forming body 31 coincides with the width direction of the trough 3, and the extending direction of the space forming member 32 and the groove forming body 31 coincides with the extending direction of the trough 3. Yes. Therefore, the width direction of the groove formed by the groove forming body 31 also matches the width direction of the trough 3, and the extending direction of the groove also matches the extending direction of the trough 3. Each of the space forming member 32 and the groove forming body 31 has a common portion 33 that is partially shared. In FIG. 4, the common portion 33 is shown by being painted. The common portion 33 is formed by a first arcuate member 3a shown in FIG. 3 (a) below the portion corresponding to 9 o'clock, and the portion above the portion corresponding to 9 o'clock is the first portion. It is formed by two arcuate members 3b. For this reason, in the common portion 33, the portion below the portion corresponding to 9 o'clock has the curvature of the first arc-shaped member 3a, and the portion above the portion corresponding to 9 o'clock is the second arc shape. The curvature of the member 3b is obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the space forming member 32 opens downward. Hereinafter, the portion that opens downward is referred to as a suction port 32 a of the space forming member 32. The suction port 32a is an opening having a length L of 80 mm or more in the width direction of the trough 3, and is separated from the bottom 31a of the groove forming body 31 as shown in FIG. The bottom 31a of the groove forming body 31 corresponds to the bottom of the groove in the present invention. That is, the suction port 32a is separated from the bottom of the groove. The upper end portion 321 of the space forming member 32 is closed, but has an arc shape and is inclined downward. The space forming member 32 forms a space S2 in which a portion above the lower end is closed. The space S2 becomes narrower as the lower end portion connected to the suction port 32a approaches the suction port 32a.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the groove forming body 31 opens upward. Hereinafter, the left half of the groove forming body 31 in the width direction shown in FIG. 4C is referred to as one end side of the groove forming body 31, and the right half of the groove forming body 31 in the width direction is the other side of the groove forming body 31. It is called the end side. The trough 3 is formed by joining the first arcuate member 3a and the second arcuate member 3b as shown in FIG. 3 (a). 6 may be formed of concrete.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the space forming member 32 is connected to one end side of the groove forming body 31 by the common portion 33 while being separated from the other end side of the groove forming body 31. Thereby, the space between the other end side of the groove forming body 31 and the space forming member 32 opens upward. Hereinafter, the portion opening upward is referred to as the opening 34 of the trough 3. Of the spaces in the groove forming body 31, the space excluding the space S2 of the space forming member 32 is referred to as a space S1. In other words, the space obtained by combining the space S1 and the space S2 corresponds to a groove, and the opening 34 of the trough 3 corresponds to the groove opening according to the present invention. The space forming member 32 in the present embodiment is provided in the groove, and the suction port 32a is located below the opening of the groove.

  Thus, since the space forming member 32 is connected to one end side in a state of being separated from the other end side of the groove forming body 31, a member that supports the space forming member 32 can be omitted. As a result, over the entire length of the trough 3, the member that supports the space forming member 32 is not hindered from sedimentation of the sand into the groove, and the string-like contaminants are wrapped around the member that supports the space forming member 32. The problem will be solved.

  Further, as described above, the trough 3 of the present embodiment is formed by joining the first arcuate member 3a having a diameter of approximately 250 mm and the second arcuate member 3b having a diameter of approximately 150 mm. Therefore, the clearance W between the space forming member 32 and the other end of the groove forming body 31 is secured about 100 mm over the entire length of the trough 3. Further, since the space forming member 32 and the groove forming body 31 have a common portion 33 that is partially shared with each other, it is easy to secure the gap W, and as a result, the size of the trough 3 in the width direction is suppressed. be able to. As described above, the filtration member (here, the filtration screen 23) is installed on the upstream side, and the gap W between the space forming member 32 and the other end of the groove forming body 31 passes through the filtration member. In order to prevent the contaminants that have passed through the upstream filtration member from clogging in the gap W, it is preferable to be longer than the maximum length of contaminants (here, the screen width is 75 mm). .

  As shown in FIG. 3 (a), one of the pair of inclined surfaces 6 (on the right side in FIG. 3 (a)) has a lower end connected to an end on the other end side of the groove forming body 31, The other of the inclined surfaces 6 (the left side in FIG. 3A) is connected to the upper end portion 321 of the space forming member 32. In the present embodiment, one inclined surface 6 is inclined 45 degrees downward, and the other inclined surface 6 is inclined 42 degrees downward. The sand contained in the sewage flowing into the sand basin 1 sinks to the pond lower part 1 a in the course of the sewage flowing downstream, but tends to accumulate on the pond lower part 1 a upstream of the sand basin 1. Of the sand that has settled in the pond lower portion 1 a, the sand that has settled on the inclined surface 6 flows down further toward the trough 3 along the inclined surface 6. Sand flowing down from one inclined surface 6 enters the groove through the opening 34 of the trough 3. The sand that has flowed down from the other inclined surface 6 enters the groove from the opening 34 of the trough 3 through the arc-shaped side surface 322 of the space forming member 32. Since the other inclined surface 6 is connected to the upper end portion 321 of the space forming member 32, sand hardly remains at the connection portion between the upper end portion 321 of the space forming member 32 and the other inclined surface 6. As a result, the sand that has settled in the lower part of the pond 1a is first collected at the bottom of the groove.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the water supply pipe 71 is connected to the trough 3 every about 5 m.

  FIG.3 (b) is CC sectional drawing in the same figure (a). In FIG. 3B, the horizontal direction of the figure is the direction in which the trough 3 extends, the right side of the figure is the upstream side (sand collecting pit 4 side), and the left side is the downstream side (pump well 5 side).

  As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the water supply pipe 71 is disposed along the other inclined surface 6 (left side in FIG. 3A), and the lower end portion is the upper end of the space forming member 32. The portion 321 passes through and communicates with the space S <b> 2 of the space forming member 32. Further, in the space S2 of the space forming member 32, a discharge port 7 for discharging fluid into the space S2 is provided in a region where the water supply pipe 71 communicates. The discharge port 7 is formed by partitioning the upper portion of the space S <b> 2 in the space forming member 32 with a partition member 72. The partition member 72 includes a horizontal portion 721 extending in a horizontal state in the extending direction of the trough 3, and an inclined portion 722 inclined upward from an end portion on the downstream side (pump well 5 side) of the horizontal portion 721. have. The horizontal portion 721 is connected to both sides in the width direction across the upper end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the space forming member 32, and the upstream end (the sand collecting pit 4 side) end portion is more than the lower end portion of the water supply pipe 71. Located upstream. Further, the inclined portion 722 has an end portion on the downstream side connected to the downstream side of the inner peripheral surface of the space forming member 32 to the lower end portion of the water supply pipe 71 and the downstream side of the discharge port 7. Blocked. By these, the area | region where the water supply pipe 71 communicates in space S2 of the space formation member 32 is partitioned off by the partition member 72. Thus, the partition member 72 has both ends in the width direction of the horizontal portion 721 connected to the space forming member 32 and the downstream end of the inclined portion 722 is connected to the space forming member 32. It is prevented that the string-like contaminants are wound around the member 72.

  From the discharge port 7, the water supplied from the water supply pipe 71 is discharged in the horizontal direction or the substantially horizontal direction toward the upstream side (see the right-pointing arrow in FIG. 3B). That is, in FIG. 3B, the right side of the figure is the downstream side in the discharge direction, and the left side of the figure is the upstream side in the discharge direction.

  The discharge port 7 shown in FIG. 3 is provided at the most downstream side in the discharge direction, that is, at a position closest to the sand collecting pit 4.

  When water is discharged from the discharge port 7 into the space S2 of the space forming member 32, a pressure difference is generated between the space forming member 32 (space S2) and the outside (space S1), and accumulated at the bottom of the groove. The sand is sucked into the space S2 from the suction port 32a as indicated by the curved arrow shown in FIG. Furthermore, in the space S <b> 2 of the space forming member 32, the sucked sand moves toward the downstream side in the discharge direction (sand collection pit 4 side) due to the flow of water discharged from the discharge port 7. As shown in FIG. 3A, the suction port 32a is an opening constricted in the width direction (a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the space forming member 32), and the space S2 expands from the suction port 32a. It is space. Since the suction port 32a is thus narrowed, the sand that moves in the space S2 is less likely to go out of the space S2, and the roll-up of the sand is further suppressed. Moreover, it becomes easy to maintain the flow of water in the space S2, and the sand can be moved farther.

  The structure of the discharge port 7 described above is the same for any discharge port 7 connected to the water supply pipe 71. Further, the discharge port 7 is also provided at the most upstream end portion of the trough 3 in the discharge direction. Hereinafter, the discharge port 7 provided at the most upstream end portion in the discharge direction of the trough 3 is referred to as an upstream discharge port, and the discharge port 7 connected to the water supply pipe 71 shown in FIGS. The far discharge port 7 may be referred to as an intermediate discharge port, and the discharge port 7 closer to the sand collection pit 4 may be referred to as a downstream discharge port (discharge port 7 shown in FIG. 3). That is, the discharge port 7 provided on the upstream side of the trough 3 is an upstream discharge port, the discharge port 7 provided on the downstream side of the trough 3 is a downstream discharge port, and between the upstream discharge port and the downstream discharge port. The provided discharge port becomes an intermediate discharge port. As seen from the sand basin shown in FIG. 1, the upstream discharge port is provided on the downstream side of the water flow in the sand basin, or the downstream discharge port is provided on the upstream side thereof. . FIG. 5A is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of the most upstream end in the trough ejection direction. In FIG. 5A, the right side of the figure is the downstream side in the discharge direction, and the left side of the figure is the upstream side in the discharge direction.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, a plate-like upstream end surface wall 36 is attached to the end surface that is the most upstream end in the discharge direction of the trough 3.

  FIG.5 (b) is the fragmentary sectional view which looked at Fig.5 (a) from the right side. That is, FIG. 5B is a view of the upstream end surface wall 36 as viewed from the downstream side in the ejection direction, and the back side of the paper surface is the upstream side in the ejection direction.

  FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B show the upstream discharge port 7 provided at the most upstream end portion in the discharge direction of the trough 3. In the upstream discharge port 7, the inclined portion 722 in the partition member 72 of the downstream discharge port 7 (discharge port 7 shown in FIG. 3) is omitted, and the upstream end in the discharge direction of the horizontal portion 721 is connected to the upstream end wall 36. Is formed. A flat oblong discharge opening 36 a is formed on the upstream end wall 36 upstream of the upstream discharge port 7 in the discharge direction. An L-shaped pipe 73 is connected to the upstream side of the discharge opening 36a in the discharge direction. The L-shaped pipe 73 is an L-shaped pipe in plan view, and is connected to a supply pipe (not shown) that supplies water. Water supplied from the supplier is discharged from the discharge opening 36a to the downstream side in the discharge direction through the L-shaped pipe 73, and further discharged in the horizontal direction or the substantially horizontal direction from the upstream discharge port 7 (FIG. 5A). See arrow). The upstream discharge port 7 is configured to connect the water supply pipe 71 to the upper end portion 321 of the space forming member 32 in place of the L-shaped pipe 73, similarly to the downstream discharge port 7 (discharge port 7 shown in FIG. 3). May be.

  All of these three discharge ports 7 preferably have a water discharge flow rate of 8 m / sec or more. If the speed is less than 8 m / sec, the flow velocity becomes insufficient, and the sand may not be moved a predetermined distance in relation to the water pressure. If the sand cannot be moved by a predetermined distance, a large number of discharge ports are required in the sand moving direction, and the number of pipes to the discharge port increases, which makes the apparatus complicated and uneconomical. Moreover, the discharge pressure of water in each discharge port 7 is 0.05 MPa or more and 0.3 MPa or less.

According to the sand settling basin 1 of the present embodiment described above, sand roll-up can be suppressed while the sand is sufficiently moved. Moreover, winding of the string-like contaminant contained in sewage can fully be suppressed.
Then, the sand removal method which removes the sand deposited on the pond lower part 1a of the sand basin 1 of this embodiment from the sand basin 1 is demonstrated.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of the sand removal method.

  When the sewage flowing into the sand basin 1 passes through the dust remover 2 shown in FIG. 2, contaminants mixed in the sewage are removed. The sewage that has passed through the dust remover 2 passes the sand collection pit 4, reaches the upstream end of the trough 3, and further flows in the extending direction of the trough 3. While the sewage flows through the upstream portion of the trough 3, most of the sand contained in the sewage sinks into the pond lower part 1 a of the sand basin 1. Some sand settles in the sand collecting pit 4 and some sand settles on the inclined surface 6, and the sand settled on the inclined surface 6 flows down further toward the trough 3 along the inclined surface 6. Further, the sand that has settled down to the upper end portion 321 of the space forming member 32 flows down toward the bottom of the groove forming body 31 through the arc-shaped side surface 322 of the space forming member 32. Thus, sand accumulates in the groove.

  In the sand removing method in the present embodiment, first, the sand pump 41 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is driven, and the sand in the sand collecting pit 4 is removed from the sand collecting pit 4 before performing the sand collecting step described later. (Step S1). The sand accumulated in the sand collection pit 4 at this stage is mainly sand that has settled in the sand collection pit 4 and accumulated in the sand collection pit 4 among the sand in the sewage flowing into the sand basin 1.

  Next, with the sand pump 41 driven, 1500 liters of water per minute is discharged for 3 minutes underwater from only the downstream discharge port 7 shown in FIG. 3 among the three discharge ports 7 (step S2). . In this step S <b> 2, water is discharged into the space S <b> 2 partitioned by the space forming member 32. As water is discharged into the space S2 from the downstream discharge port 7, a pressure difference is generated between the space forming member 32 (space S2) and the outside (space S1), and the sand accumulated in the upstream portion in the groove Is sucked into the space S2 from the suction port 32a (see the curved arrow shown in FIG. 3A). Further, in the space S <b> 2 of the space forming member 32, the sucked sand moves toward the sand collecting pit 4 by the flow of water discharged from the downstream discharge port 7. The sand moving in the space S2 of the space forming member 32 is unlikely to go out of the space forming member 32 in the portion where the pressure difference is generated, and the sand is prevented from rolling up. Thus, the sand deposited in the downstream portion in the discharge direction in the groove moves in the space S2 of the space forming member 32 and eventually reaches the sand collecting pit 4. The sand that has reached the sand collecting pit 4 is transported to the outside of the settling basin 1 by the sand pump 41 that has started driving in the previous step S1, and the sand from the settling basin 1 is removed. The removal of sand here corresponds to an example of a discharging process.

  Next, the discharge of water from the downstream discharge port 7 is stopped, and this time, 1500 liters of water per minute is discharged for 3 minutes underwater from only the intermediate discharge port 7 among the three discharge ports 7 (step S3). . The driving of the sand raising pump 41 is continued even during the execution of step S3. In step S3, as in step S2, by discharging water into the space S2 of the space forming member 32, a pressure difference is generated between the space forming member 32 (space S2) and the outside (space S1). Sand accumulated around the intermediate discharge port 7 in the groove is sucked again into the space S2 from the suction port 32a. Further, the sucked sand moves in the space S <b> 2 of the space forming member 32 toward the downstream discharge port 7 shown in FIG. 3 by the flow of water discharged from the intermediate discharge port 7, and reaches the periphery of the downstream discharge port 7. To reach. In the vicinity of the downstream discharge port 7, the momentum of water from the intermediate discharge port 7 decreases, so that the sand reaching the periphery of the downstream discharge port 7 falls from the suction port 32a toward the bottom of the groove forming body 31, Once returned to the space S1 of the trough 3. That is, sand accumulates around the downstream outlet 7 in the space S1 of the trough 3.

  Next, the discharge of water from the intermediate discharge port 7 is stopped, and 1500 liters of water per minute is discharged from the downstream discharge port 7 shown in FIG. Step S4). Also in this step S4, the sand accumulated around the downstream discharge port 7 in the space S1 of the trough 3 is sucked into the space S2 from the suction port 32a, and the sucked sand moves toward the sand collecting pit 4 in the space S2. Will eventually reach the sand collection pit 4. Even during the execution of step S4, the sand pump 41 continues to be driven, and the sand that has reached the sand collecting pit 4 is removed from the sand basin 1 by the sand pump 41. That is, sand removal by the sand pump 41 corresponding to an example of the discharging process is also performed here.

  This time, the discharge of water from the downstream discharge port 7 is stopped, and 1500 liters of water is discharged from the three discharge ports 7 only for 3 minutes under water from only the upstream discharge port 7 (step S5). Even during the execution of step S5, the driving of the sand pump 41 is continued. In step S5, as in steps S2 to S4, by discharging water into the space S2 of the space forming member 32, a pressure difference is generated between the space forming member 32 (space S2) and the outside (space S1). Sand accumulated around the upstream discharge port 7 in the space S1 of the trough 3 is sucked into the space S2 from the suction port 32a. Further, the sucked sand moves in the space S <b> 2 of the space forming member 32 toward the intermediate discharge port 7 by the flow of water discharged from the upstream discharge port 7 and reaches the periphery of the intermediate discharge port 7. Since the momentum of water from the upstream discharge port 7 decreases in the vicinity of the intermediate discharge port 7, the sand that has reached the periphery of the intermediate discharge port 7 falls from the suction port 32a toward the bottom of the groove forming body 31, Sand accumulates around the intermediate outlet 7 in the space S1 of the trough 3.

  Subsequently, the discharge of water from the upstream discharge port 7 is stopped, and 1500 liters of water per minute is discharged from the intermediate discharge port 7 for 3 minutes under water as in step S3 (step S6). Even during the execution of step S6, the driving of the sand pump 41 is continued. Also in step S6, the sand accumulated around the intermediate discharge port 7 in the space S1 of the trough 3 is sucked into the space S2 from the suction port 32a, and the sucked sand passes through the space S2 toward the downstream discharge port 7. It moves, and sand accumulates around the downstream outlet 7 in the space S1 of the trough 3 eventually.

  Next, the discharge of water from the intermediate discharge port 7 is stopped, and 1500 liters of water per minute is discharged from the downstream discharge port 7 shown in FIG. (Step S7). Also in this step S7, the sand accumulated around the downstream discharge port 7 in the space S1 of the trough 3 is sucked into the space S2 from the suction port 32a, and the sucked sand is directed toward the sand collecting pit 4 in the space S2. Will eventually reach the sand collection pit 4. Even during the execution of step S7, the driving of the sand raising pump 41 is continued, and the sand that has reached the sand collecting pit 4 is removed from the sand basin 1 by the sand raising pump 41. That is, sand removal by the sand pump 41 corresponding to an example of the discharging process is also performed here. Further, the sand pump 41 continues to be driven for a predetermined time after the discharge of the water from the downstream discharge port 7 is completed, and the sand removal corresponding to an example of the discharging process is continuously performed.

  Thus, the sand contained in the received water gathers in the sand collecting pit 4 through the transfer in the space S2 of the space forming member 32 over six stages. Steps S2 to S7 described above correspond to the sand collecting step. This sand collection step does not need to be performed after draining the water from the settling basin 1 and reducing or eliminating all the water from the settling basin 1, and is performed in a state where sewage is continuously received in the settling basin. The fluid discharged from the discharge port 7 in the sand collecting step may use sewage received in the sewage treatment plant, but may be other fluids.

  When the predetermined time elapses, the sand pump 41 that has started driving in step S1 is stopped (step S8). When the predetermined time elapses, or when sand accumulates in the sand collecting pit 4 to some extent due to the sedimented sand. Step S1 is performed again. As described above, Steps S1 to S8 are repeatedly performed after the acceptance of sewage is started.

  In the above description, the driving of the sand pump 41 is continued from the start in step S1 until it is stopped in step S8, but is stopped when the sand in the sand collecting pit 4 is reduced to a certain amount. Alternatively, the driving of the sand pump 41 may be stopped during the execution of step S3, step S5 to step S6.

  According to the sand removal method of the present embodiment, the sand can be sufficiently moved in the sand basin 1 while the sand is sufficiently prevented from being rolled up, and the sand can be removed from the sand basin. Moreover, in the sand removal method of this embodiment, sand flows in into the pump well 5 arrange | positioned in the most downstream side of the sand basin 1 by making the sand transfer direction into the direction which goes to an upstream from the downstream.

Concrete C is cast. The two downstream troughs 3 ″ are arranged in a target state in the width direction so that the respective space forming members 32 are located on the outer side in the width direction. A water supply pipe 71 indicated by an alternate long and short dash line is connected from the outside in the direction. Further, a portion of the inclined surface 6 that is connected to the downstream trough 3 ″ from the existing inclined surface 86 is formed by the cast concrete C. Note that a portion of the inclined surface 6 connected to the downstream trough 3 ″ from the existing inclined surface 86 may be formed of a plate material such as metal. The structure of the downstream trough 3 ″ and the inclined surface 6 connected to the downstream trough 3 ″ described above is the same in the upstream trough 3 ′ and the inclined surface 6 connected to the upstream trough 3 ′. .

  A trough 3 shown in FIG. 10 (a) includes a concrete groove forming body 31 having a U-shaped cross-sectional shape and a second shape shown in FIG. A space forming member 32 having the same shape as the arc-shaped member 3b is provided. The space forming member 32 is connected to the upper end portion (see the dotted line in FIG. 10A) on one end side of the groove forming body 31. Thereby, the space S <b> 2 of the space forming member 32 has a region positioned above the groove formed by the groove forming body 31. That is, a part of the space forming member 32 of the present modification is provided outside the groove.

  The trough 3 shown in FIG. 10 (b) includes a groove forming body 31 having a U-shaped cross-sectional shape and a part on one end side of the groove forming body 31, as conceptually shown in the circle of the drawing.

That is, the space forming member 32 of the present modification is provided in the groove, and is connected to an intermediate portion in the vertical direction on one end side of the groove forming body 31. As a result, the space S <b> 2 of the space forming member 32 is located between the vertical direction of the grooves formed by the groove forming body 31. In addition, since the part which protruded in the groove | channel of the space formation member 32 curves in the circular arc shape toward the downward direction, it is less likely that sand accumulates on the space formation member 32.

  The trough 3 shown in FIG. 11 (a) has a groove-shaped body 31 having a U-shaped cross-sectional shape with an open top and a U-shaped with an open bottom, as conceptually shown in the circle of the figure.

The space forming member 32 of this modification does not have a common part that is shared with a part of the groove forming body 31.

  10 and 11, the member that supports the space forming member 32 can be omitted, and the sedimentation of the sand from the opening 34 of the trough 3 into the groove is ensured over the entire length of the trough 3. . Moreover, the problem that the string-like contaminants are wound around the member that supports the space forming member 32 can be solved.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope described in the claims. For example, in the said embodiment, although the space formation member 32 is provided over the full length of the trough 3, the space formation member 32 is in the range which does not have a possibility that the string-shaped contaminant contained in the received sewage may wind up. May be slightly shorter than the overall length of the trough 3. In particular, when the overall length of the trough 3 is long, the space forming member 32 may be divided in the extending direction of the trough 3 within a range in which the string-like contaminants are not likely to be wound. Further, the arrangement position of the discharge port 7 is not limited to the upper side in the space S2 of the space forming member 32, and may be provided at any position in the space S2, such as the lower side or the center in the space S2.

  FIG. 12A is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the lower part of the basin in the sand basin in which the sand is sufficiently moved while suppressing the sand from rolling up.

  The pond lower part 9 shown in FIG. 12A includes a trough 91 that forms a groove, inclined surfaces 92 provided on both sides in the width direction of the trough 91, and a space forming member 93 that extends along the trough 91. A support member 94 that supports the space forming member 93 and a discharge port 95 are provided. In FIG. 12A, the direction orthogonal to the paper surface is the extending direction of the trough 91, and the horizontal direction in the figure is the width direction of the trough 91. The trough 91 is formed with a total length of about 10 to 20 m and a width of about 300 to 350 mm, for example. The space forming member 93 extends over the entire length of the trough 3 and forms a space S9 whose upper end portion is closed. The space forming member 93 is provided with a suction port 93 a that opens downward and is separated from the bottom of the trough 91. The discharge port 95 is disposed in the space S9, and water supplied from a water supply pipe (not shown) is discharged along the space forming member 93. In FIG. 12A, the front side of the drawing is the downstream side in the discharge direction. become.

  The support member 94 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2B is a perspective view of the support member shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, the support member 94 has a plate-like horizontal portion 941 and a plate-like vertical portion 942 fixed to the horizontal portion 941 by welding or the like. As shown in FIG. 5A, the support member 94 is installed such that the horizontal portion 941 closes the upper side of the trough 91. The support member 94 is formed so that the length of the horizontal portion 941 in the extending direction of the trough 91 is, for example, about 100 to 200 mm so as not to hinder the sedimentation of sand into the trough 91, and several m along the trough 91. Several are installed every other. The space forming member 93 has an upper end fixed to the lower surface of the horizontal portion 941. Further, an arcuate cutout 942a is formed in the vertical portion 942, and the space forming member 93 is fixed to the cutout 942a. The vertical portion 942 is for preventing the wrapping of string-like contaminants (for example, hair and vinyl strings) included in the received sewage.

  The pond lower part 9 shown in FIG. 12A is in a state where it is submerged in the sewage received, and the sand contained in the sewage sinks into the trough 91. When water is discharged from the discharge port 95 under water, a pressure difference is generated between the space forming member 93 (space S9) and the outside, and sand accumulated on the trough 91 is sucked from the suction port 93a (FIG. 12 (a ) (See curve arrow). Further, in the space S <b> 9 of the space forming member 93, the sucked sand moves to the downstream side in the discharge direction due to the flow of water discharged from the discharge port 95. As a result, it is possible to suppress the sand from rolling up while sufficiently moving the sand.
