Description

  The present invention relates to a water quality improvement device and a water quality improvement method for improving the water quality of dam lakes and recreation ponds such as water, dams and rivers, especially water utilization dams and flood control dams.

  In places where water accumulates due to topographical conditions such as shallow water in seas, lakes, rivers, etc., the amount of dissolved oxygen is relatively low, anaerobic microorganisms predominate, and generation of odors, deterioration of water quality, etc. Problems may arise. In order to solve such a problem, conventionally, aeration is performed by supplying air into water to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in seawater and lake water.

  Conventionally, a floating type apparatus as shown in FIG. 10 has been proposed as a water quality improvement apparatus for improving the water quality by aeration of the sea or lake (see Patent Document 1). This water quality improvement apparatus 101 is connected to a float 102 formed of foamed polystyrene, a frame body 103 supported on the water by the float 102, a pump 104 disposed on the frame body 103, and the frame body 103. An anchor 107 disposed on the bottom 106 is provided. The pump 104 is provided with a water absorption hose on the suction side, and on the discharge side is provided with a discharge pipe 110 provided with an injection nozzle 109 at the tip. On the frame 103, a solar cell 112 and a control device 113 that controls the pump 104 in accordance with the power supplied from the solar cell 112 are arranged.

  In this water quality improvement apparatus 101, the pump 104 sucks anaerobic water from the sea and lakes and sucks air from a hole provided on the suction side to cause cavitation in the water to form fine bubbles. To do. Water containing the fine bubbles is jetted into the water from the jet nozzle 109 through the discharge pipe 110 to improve the anaerobic water and become aerobic. Further, the water quality improvement device 101 is caused to perform a circular motion around the anchor 107 in a plan view by the momentum of jetting water from the jet nozzle 109 so as to improve the surrounding water.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-107169

  However, in order to improve the environment of a relatively wide water area such as the sea or lake, the water quality improvement apparatus 101 is arranged so that the range of circular motion around the anchor 107 covers the target water area. Need to be changed. Since the anchor 107 is connected to the frame body 103 by a rope, manpower is required to raise and lower the anchor 107. Therefore, every time the water quality improvement device 101 is operated in the target water area, it is necessary to manually lift the anchor 107 and move the water quality improvement device 101 and then drop the anchor 107 manually. There's a problem. In addition, since fine bubbles generated by cavitation inside the pump 104 rise toward the water surface when discharged into the water, it is difficult to improve the anaerobic environment such as sludge accumulated in the bottom of the water. There is a problem.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a water quality improvement device that does not require manual operation of an anchor and can improve the environment of a relatively wide water area with little effort. Moreover, it is providing the water quality improvement apparatus which can improve the environment of water bottom vicinity.

In order to solve the above problems, the water quality improvement device of the present invention includes a floating body floating on the water surface,
A bubble mixed water generating device that sucks water floating above the floating body and generates bubble mixed water formed by adding bubbles containing oxygen to the sucked water;
A compressor that generates compressed air;
Connected to the floating body, the air supplied from the compressor is guided to the inside to generate buoyancy, while the stored air is discharged to generate a sinking force, and supplied from the bubble mixed water generating device A discharge nozzle that discharges the bubble mixed water, and a floating body that functions as a ridge when the water bottom is reached.

  According to the said structure, the floating body which functions as a trough when it reaches the bottom of a water is connected to the floating body which floats on the water surface, such as the sea, a lake, and a river. The float / sink tank of this float / sink generates buoyancy when air is supplied from the compressor to the inside, while the buoyancy disappears and the sink force is generated when the air inside is discharged. For example, a floating body that is located in water floats in water by buoyancy when air is supplied from a compressor to the tank for floating and sinking. On the other hand, the floating body that floats near the water surface loses its buoyancy and sinks in water when the air inside the tank for floating and sinking is discharged. In this way, the floating body that functions as a dredge when it reaches the bottom of the water can be lifted and lowered by supplying and discharging air without applying human power or other devices. Therefore, the trouble at the time of moving a water quality improvement apparatus can be reduced significantly compared with the past.

  Here, the bubble-mixed water includes bubbles having various diameters, and is a microbubble having a diameter of about 10 μm to 50 μm, a micro-nanobubble having a diameter of about 500 nm to 10 μm, or a nanobubble having a diameter of about 10 nm to 500 nm. Preferably there is. Since microbubbles and micronanobubbles have a relatively low rate of floating in water, it is possible to effectively improve the surrounding water from which the bubble mixed water is discharged. Further, since the nanobubbles remain in the water for a long time without floating on the water surface, the surrounding water from which the bubble mixed water is discharged can be further effectively improved.

  Further, when the bubble mixed water is discharged from the discharge nozzle of the floating sediment, oxygen contained in the bubble mixed water is supplied to the surrounding water, and the anaerobic environment is improved. In particular, when the floating body is located at the bottom of the water, by discharging the bubble mixed water from the discharge nozzle, decomposition of the sludge accumulated at the bottom of the water by aerobic microorganisms can be promoted, and the water quality of the bottom can be improved.

  Here, the bubble mixed water generating device may form the bubble mixed water by mixing air with the sucked water, and the bubble mixed water by mixing high-concentration oxygen with the sucked water. May be formed.

  According to the above-described embodiment, the float / sink tank is selectively supplied with air and bubble mixed water through a single supply pipe. When air is supplied to the float / sink tank through the supply pipe, buoyancy is generated in the float / sediment so that it floats in the water. On the other hand, when the bubble mixed water is supplied to the float / sink tank through the supply pipe, a sink force is generated in the float / sediment and sinks in the water. The discharge nozzle of the float / sink body is supplied with the bubble mixed water supplied to the float / sink tank through the supply pipe via the float / sink tank and discharges it to the outside. Thus, by connecting the float / sink with a single supply pipe, the structure can be simplified compared to connecting the float / sediment by separating the pipe supplying air and the pipe supplying bubble mixed water. Moreover, when the floating body floats and sinks in water, the inconvenience which a some pipe | tube gets entangled can be prevented.

  In one embodiment of the water quality improvement device, the float / sink tank of the float / float is buoyant due to air supplied from the compressor through the supply pipe, while water supplied from the bubble mixed water generating apparatus through the supply pipe. Alternatively, a sinking force is generated by the bubble mixed water.

  According to the embodiment, the buoyancy is generated in the float / sink tank by the air supplied from the compressor through the supply pipe. On the other hand, a sinking force is generated in the float / sink tank by the water or the bubble mixed water supplied from the bubble mixed water generating device through the supply pipe. In this way, the supply pipe is selectively connected to the compressor or the bubble mixed water generating device, so that buoyancy and settlement force can be generated with a simple structure. Here, when the sinking force is generated, either the water or the bubble mixed water may be supplied from the bubble mixed water generating device to the float / sink tank. When it is necessary to discharge the bubble mixture water from the discharge nozzle through the float / sink tank, the bubble mixture water may be supplied to the float / sink tank, while the bubble mixture water is discharged from the discharge nozzle through the float / sink tank. If it is not necessary, water may be supplied to the float / sink tank.

These swirl flows are discharged from the swirl chamber R into the collision chamber, and a swirl jet swirling conically from the discharge port is formed. Since these swirling jets swirl in opposite directions, by colliding with each other in the collision chamber, the bubbles of the bubble mixed water are effectively destroyed and refined to a diameter of 50 nm to 10 μm, and oxygen fine bubbles As a result, micro-nano bubbles are generated. Furthermore, by providing two swirl chamber pairs, the swirling flow of the bubble mixed water of each swirl chamber pair collides in a collision chamber in an overlapping manner, and the bubbles of the bubble mixed water are effectively refined, Micro-nano bubbles are effectively generated. In this manner, the miniaturized block 35 of the present embodiment can effectively generate nanobubbles having a diameter of 10 nm or more and 500 nm or less by colliding a swirling jet.

  The oxygen generator 5 that supplies high-concentration oxygen to the bubble mixed water generating device 3 generates high-concentration oxygen by increasing the oxygen concentration by inhaling air and removing nitrogen and carbon dioxide from the inhaled air. It is. The oxygen generator 5 is configured to supply high-pressure air to an adsorption tank in which zeolite is disposed on the inner surface, adsorb nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water in the air to the zeolite, and discharge high-concentration oxygen from the adsorption tank. Has been. The oxygen generator causes air to flow inside a hollow nitrogen-selective permeable membrane formed of zeolite, and collects oxygen discharged through the nitrogen-selective permeable membrane to generate high-concentration oxygen. It may be a thing. The oxygen generator may generate oxygen based on other principles.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the water quality improvement apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the power supply device 24 accumulates electric power generated by the wind power generation device 14 and the solar power generation device 17, and uses this electric power for the bubble mixed water generation device 3, the compressor 4, and the oxygen generator 5. The wind direction detection device 15, the position detection device 16, the control device 19 and the three-way valve 21 are configured to be supplied.

  The control device 19 controls the bubble mixed water generating device 3, the compressor 4, the oxygen generator 5 and the three-way valve 21, and supplies the bubble mixed water or air to the float / sink 6 to control the operation of the float / sink 6. . First, when air is stored in the float / sink tank 7 of the float / sink body 6 and the float / sink body 6 that has been thrown into the lake and functions as a dredger, the control device 19 creates a bubble on the inflow side of the three-way valve 21. Connect to the mixed water generator 3. Then, the bubble mixed water production | generation apparatus 3 and the oxygen generator 5 are operated, the fine bubble of high concentration oxygen is contained in the water of the lake attracted | sucked from the intake pipe 13, and bubble mixed water is produced | generated, and this bubble mixed water is used. Then, the water is supplied to the floating tank 7 of the floating body 6 through the three-way valve 21 and the connecting pipe 9. As a result, the air in the float / sink tank 7 is discharged from the discharge nozzle 8, the buoyancy disappears and a sink force is generated, and the float / sunk body 6 sinks into the lake water and reaches the lake bottom B. Thus, the floating body 6 arranged on the lake bottom B functions as a reed. When the floating body 6 is allowed to sink, the bubble mixed water generating device 3 may supply only water that does not contain fine bubbles to the floating tank 7.

  When improving the water quality of the arrangement position of the floating sediment 6, the control device 19 connects the inflow side of the three-way valve 21 to the bubble mixed water generating device 3, operates the bubble mixed water generating device 3 and the oxygen generator 5, Bubble mixed water is supplied into the float / sink tank 7. The bubble mixed water supplied to the float / sink tank 7 is discharged from the discharge nozzle 8 after filling the float / sink tank 7. When the oxygen in the bubbles contained in the bubble mixed water discharged from the discharge nozzle 8 is supplied to the water around the lake, the surrounding water becomes an environment where aerobic microorganisms can inhabit. As a result, improvement of water quality can be promoted. In particular, oxygen can be supplied to the sludge 22 deposited on the lake bottom B by discharging the bubble mixed water from the discharge nozzle 8 when the floating body 6 is disposed on the lake bottom B and functions as a dredger. As a result, the degradation of sludge 22 can be promoted by aerobic microorganisms.

  On the other hand, when stopping the dredging function of the floating body 6 arranged on the lake bottom B, the control device 19 connects the inflow side of the three-way valve 21 to the compressor 4 to operate the compressor 4 and into the floating tank 7. Supply air. As a result, buoyancy is generated, and the floating body 6 floats in the water of the lake, and the function of the kite stops. Thus, when the function of the dredging of the floating body 6 is stopped, the water quality improvement apparatus 1 can move on the water surface W.

  The water quality improvement device 1 can autonomously improve the lake by storing the map information of the lake for improving the water quality in the control device 19 in advance and operating based on the map information. FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically showing lake map information 27 stored in the control device 19. The map information 27 is stored in the storage device 25 through the input / output device of the control device 19. The control device 19 controls the water quality of the improved area of the lake indicated by the map information by controlling the function of the dredged body 6 and the discharge of the bubble mixed water from the discharge nozzle 8 based on the map information 27. It is designed to improve autonomously.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the map information 27 stored in the control device 19 includes a plurality of blocks 28, 28, and 28 on coordinates expressed by an X axis corresponding to longitude and a Y axis corresponding to latitude. The shape of the lake is represented by. In the map information 27, a block 28 in a range where water quality should be improved is surrounded by a boundary line indicating the improved region, and control is performed so that the water quality improving device 1 discharges the bubble mixed water in this improved region. Is done.

  First, when the water quality improvement device 1 is placed on the lake, the control device 19 specifies the current position by the position detection device 16. If the current position is within the improved region indicated by the map information 27, the control device 19 switches the inflow side of the three-way valve 21 to the bubble mixed water generating device 3, and the bubble mixed water generating device 3 and the oxygen generator 5. Is operated to supply bubble mixed water to the tank 7 for floating and sinking of the floating and sinking body 6 to sink the floating and sinking body 6 to the bottom B of the lake so that the floating and sinking body 6 functions as a dredger. Subsequently, the control device 19 continues the operation of the bubble mixed water generating device 3 and the oxygen generator 5, and further supplies the bubble mixed water to the float / sink tank 7 of the float / sink 6, thereby connecting to the float / sink tank 7. The bubble mixed water is discharged from the discharge nozzle 8. The bubble mixed water discharged from the discharge nozzle 8 on the bottom surface of the floating sediment 6 is injected into the sludge on the lake bottom B with which the floating sediment 6 is in contact, and oxygen contained in the bubble mixed water is effectively mixed with the sludge. By supplying oxygen to sludge in this way, decomposition of sludge by aerobic microorganisms is promoted.

  When a predetermined time has elapsed after discharging the bubble mixed water from the discharge nozzle 8, the control device 19 stops the operation of the bubble mixed water generating device 3 and the oxygen generator 5, and a block 28 indicating the current position of the map information 27. The improvement execution information indicating that the improvement has been executed is associated with the information. In the map information 27 shown in FIG. 9, the block 28 associated with the improvement execution information is hatched. Thereafter, since the control device 19 moves to the block 28 to which the improvement execution information is not associated in the map information 27, the control device 19 detects the wind direction based on the information from the wind direction detection device 15, and the wind turbine of the wind power generation device 14 The wind speed is detected based on the rotation speed. As shown in FIG. 9, the wind direction A is a direction from the current position of the water quality improvement apparatus 1 indicated by a circle 29 toward the block 28 to which no improvement execution information is associated, and the wind speed of this wind is predetermined. If the value is equal to or greater than the value, the controller 19 performs the following control. That is, the inflow side of the three-way valve 21 is switched to the compressor 4 side, the compressor 4 is operated, air is supplied to the float / sink tank 7 of the float / sink 6, buoyancy is generated in the float / sink 6, and floats from the lake bottom B. Stop the function of the bag. When the function of the kite of the floating body 6 stops, the water quality improvement apparatus 1 moves in the direction of the wind direction A by the force of the wind received by the windmill of the wind power generator 14.

  The water quality improvement device 1 is moved by the force of the wind, and the control device 19 moves to the block 28 in the improvement area indicated by the map information 27 and not associated with the improvement execution information based on the information of the position detection device 16. When the arrival is detected, the inflow side of the three-way valve 21 is switched to the bubble mixed water generating device 3 and the bubble mixed water generating device 3 and the oxygen generator 5 are operated. Thereby, bubble mixed water is supplied to the tank 7 for the ups and downs of the floating body 6, the floating body 6 is sunk to the lake bottom B, the floating body 6 is made to function as a ridge, and the movement of the water quality improvement apparatus 1 is stopped. Subsequently, the control device 19 continues the operation of the bubble mixed water generating device 3 and the oxygen generator 5, further supplies the bubble mixed water to the float / sink tank 7 of the float / sink 6, and discharges the bubble mix water from the discharge nozzle 8. The bubble mixed water is supplied to the lake bottom B at the position corresponding to the block 28.

  In this way, the water quality improvement device 1 uses the force of the wind to block the improvement execution information in the improvement area indicated by the map information 27 from the block 28 to which the improvement execution information is not related. The water quality is improved by discharging the bubble mixed water. Such movement and discharge of the bubble mixed water are repeated in the improvement area indicated by the map information 27, and when the improvement execution information is associated with all the blocks 28 in the improvement area, the water quality improvement work of this lake is completed. To do. As described above, according to the water quality improvement device 1 of the present embodiment, the bubble mixed water generating device 3 is based on the information from the position detection device 16 and the information from the wind direction detection device 15 using the map information 27. By controlling the oxygen generator 5, the compressor 4, and the three-way valve 21, the improvement operation can be performed autonomously within the improvement region of the lake.

  It is preferable that the water quality improvement apparatus 1 of this embodiment can connect a communication apparatus to the control apparatus 19, and can monitor a driving | running state and input / output map information from a remote place. As the communication device, a device that connects to a mobile data communication network such as LTE and transmits / receives information to / from a remote server or the like can be adopted. Thereby, operation | movement of the water quality improvement apparatus 1 can be monitored from a remote place. Moreover, the improvement area | region of the lake in which the water quality improvement apparatus 1 was installed can be changed from a remote place. In addition, the water quality improvement device 1 of the present embodiment may be configured to be able to control the operations of the bubble mixed water generating device 3, the compressor 4, and the three-way valve 21 from a remote place through a communication device. Thereby, the operator of a remote place can adjust the position of the water quality improvement apparatus 1 by controlling the rise and fall of the floating body 6. In addition, the remote operator can control the discharge of the bubble mixed water from the discharge nozzle 8 of the floating body 6 to improve the water quality. Moreover, the water quality improvement apparatus 1 of this embodiment is equipped with the wireless camera which transmits a picked-up image by radio | wireless communication, image | photographs the water quality improvement apparatus 1 and its periphery, and transmits it to the remote supervisor and operator. It may be configured.

  In the above embodiment, the wind speed is detected based on the number of rotations of the wind turbine of the wind power generator 14, but the wind direction detection device 15 is replaced with a wind direction and a wind speed detection device that detects the wind direction and the wind speed. At the same time, the wind speed may be detected. Moreover, when stopping the function of the dredging of the floating body 6, it is not necessary to consider a wind speed.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the bubble mixed water production | generation apparatus 3 had the pump 31 which discharges the water containing a bubble, and the bubble refinement | miniaturization apparatus 32 connected to this pump 31, the pump 31 and a bubble finer The gasification device 32 may not be directly connected, and the pump 31 may be disposed on the floating body 2, while the bubble refining device 32 may be disposed on the floating body 6. That is, water containing bubbles having a relatively large diameter is supplied from the pump 31 on the floating body 2 to the floating sediment 6 via the connecting pipe 9, and the bubbles are refined by the bubble miniaturizing device 32 arranged in the floating sediment 6. Nanobubbles may be generated.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the bubble mixed water production | generation apparatus 3 produced | generated bubble mixed water containing the nanobubble of high concentration oxygen whose diameter is 10 nm or more and 500 nm or less, the bubble contained in bubble mixed water is not restricted to a nano bubble, Microbubbles having a diameter of about 10 μm to 50 μm or micronano bubbles having a diameter of about 500 nm to 10 μm may be used. Moreover, the bubble of 10 micrometers or more may be sufficient.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it aimed at the removal of the sludge of the bottom B of a dam lake, not only the sludge of the bottom B but using the water quality improvement apparatus 1 in order to improve the water quality of various depths. Also good. That is, the water quality can be improved by supplying the bubble mixed water to the water of all depths from the discharge nozzle 8 of the floating sediment 6 and increasing the oxygen concentration in the water. The depth at which the floating body 6 supplies the bubble mixed water can be adjusted by the amount of air supplied to the floating tank 7 of the floating body 6. Moreover, the transparency of water can be improved by aggregating suspended matter of water having high turbidity with fine bubbles contained in the bubble mixed water and floating on the water surface W.

  In addition, the floating body 2 and the floating body 6 are connected by a single connecting pipe 9, but between the floating body 2 and the floating body 6, a tank supply pipe for supplying air or water to the floating tank 7 and a discharge You may connect with the nozzle supply pipe which supplies bubble mixed water to the nozzle 8.

By supplying air or water to the float / sink tank 7 with the tank supply pipe, the position of the float / sink body 6 in water is adjusted, while supplying the bubble mixed water to the discharge nozzle 8 with the nozzle supply pipe. The surrounding water can be improved by discharging the bubble mixed water at the position where the floating body 6 is disposed.

  In addition, the floating body 6 supplies bubble mixed water to the floating tank 7 and discharges air from the discharge nozzle 8 to generate a sinking force. A valve may be provided to open the on-off valve to discharge the water in the float / sink tank 7 and guide the lake water to generate a sinking force.

  Moreover, although the bubble mixed water production | generation apparatus 3 produced | generated the bubble mixed water containing the bubble of the high concentration oxygen supplied from the oxygen generator 5, the bubble of the bubble mixed water does not necessarily need to be high concentration oxygen. If the bubble mixed water supplied to the floating body 6 and discharged from the discharge nozzle 8 contains oxygen, the bubble component is not particularly limited. For example, the air bubble mixed water generating device 3 may generate air bubble mixed water obtained by mixing fine air bubbles into the inhaled lake water. In this case, the water quality improvement device 1 does not require the oxygen generator 5, and the control device 19 does not need to control the oxygen generator 5 in the control of the function of the dredging and the control of the water quality improvement.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the water quality improvement apparatus 1 was used for the dam lake, you may use it for another lake, a pond marsh, the sea, and a river.
