Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scum for efficiently removing oil and floating scum (hereinafter simply referred to as scum) in a septic tank or a water treatment facility, in particular, a food service industry or a food processing industry. It relates to a separation device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the upper lid of a septic tank or a water treatment facility is opened and removed by hand using a ladle, or a hose of a suction pump is inserted.

[0003]

The efficiency of manual work with a ladle is poor. On the other hand, in a suction pump that uses a hose with a suction pump to remove the water, the suction level of the pump fluctuates. In contrast, the suction position is difficult to specify, and it has been impossible to efficiently separate and suction only the scum. The present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0004]

A suction device for sucking and removing scum floating in a septic tank is provided with a float on the upper surface of a fixed length pipe, and can be slid up and down into a lower pipe with a weight attached below. On the other hand, the lower pipe was connected to the suction side of the suction pump so that the floating scum was sucked, while the discharge side of the suction pump was connected to the discharge pipe and installed on the ground outside the septic tank. The lower part of the scum separation tank is sent through a diffuser, and the scum separation tank is provided with a disk slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tank at the approximate center of an upright fixed cylindrical tank. One side of the tank at a certain inclination angle and above it is mounted to be tiltable and swingable in a state where a gap for flowing water is formed between the tank and the inner wall surface of the tank. Is fitted with a locking member capable of maintaining a constant tilt angle in the tilted state of the disk, and a scum discharge window is formed above the locking metal and the window is removed. A scum storage box is formed outside the enclosed tank, and an opening / closing valve is attached to the bottom side of the box body.

At this time, if the float is attached to the upper surface of the disk and the weight is attached to the lower surface of the disk above and below the disk which tilts at a constant inclination angle, the disk can be efficiently and accurately used for the tilting operation. In addition, a through-hole was formed to communicate the vicinity of the bottom surface in the scum storage box with the inside of the tank at a position below the locking metal that can hold a constant inclination angle in the inclined state of the disk. With this configuration, the liquid in the scum storage box that is stored along with the scum can be efficiently returned to the tank.

[0006]

FIG. 1 is a schematic explanatory view showing a configuration example of a scum separation device according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a septic tank main body, which is divided into three rooms A, B, and C.
Flows into the first chamber A, and the sewage in the first chamber flows into the separation chamber B via the guide path e arranged along the partition wall of the chambers A and B and the through hole f formed in the partition wall. Then, the scum p floats upward with time. Note that C is guided from the drain pipe 3 to the drain in the cleaning liquid chamber.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a scum suction device in the separation chamber B, reference numeral 5 denotes a suction pump, and reference numeral 6 denotes a U-shaped fixed pipe provided on the suction side of the suction pump. Reference numeral 7 denotes a scum suction pipe fitted on the upper end side of the fixed pipe 6 so as to be slidable up and down. A float 7a is mounted on an upper part, and a weight 7b is mounted below the scum suction pipe. It is in a stable floating state up. Reference numeral 8 denotes a discharge pipe provided on the discharge side of the suction pump 5, which is attached via a diffuser 9 to the bottom of a scum separation tank which is set up on the ground surface outside the septic tank. At this time, the diffuser 9 is ventilated into the discharge pipe by air venturi.
Is to be blown.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a scum separation tank, which has a circular plate 11 slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tank with respect to an inner surface near the middle of the standing tank height at a constant inclination angle in the tank. An appropriate gap s is formed between the upper side of the tank and the inner wall surface of the tank so as to be tiltably supported on the inner wall surface of the tank via a shaft m. (See Fig. 2)

Reference numeral 12 denotes a locking member for locking the lower end portion of the disk 10 which can be tilted at the above-mentioned fixed inclination angle, that is, the locking member 12 has a key-shaped protrusion 12a. The upper surface of the disk 11 contacts the lower surface of the portion 12a and is locked.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a float mounted on the upper surface of the upper portion of the disk 11, and reference numeral 14 denotes a weight of a water-filled sphere mounted on the lower surface. When the scum-containing liquid is fed from the bottom of the tank in the above configuration, the disc 11 is rotated clockwise in the illustrated example. Rotation is performed so as to be in a vertical direction as indicated by a chain line. When the disk 11 is vertically erected, further rotation is prevented by the weight 14.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a scum outflow window formed in the upper surface of the locking fitting 12 in the tank 11, and 16 denotes a scum storage box which is attached to the outside of the tank 10 so as to surround the scum outflow window 15. The bottom surface 16a of the box 16 is formed as a gentle downward slope, and an open / close valve 17 is attached to the tip. Reference numerals 18 and 19 denote a reflux pipe and a discharge pipe provided to the washing tank for the liquid provided at the bottom of the tank. In addition, near the joint between the bottom surface 16a of the scum storage box 16 and the wall surface of the tank 10, a through hole 2 communicating the inside of the box with the inside of the tank is provided.
0 is perforated so that the liquid stored in the bottom surface of the box 16 overflows into the tank with the on-off valve 17 closed.

The apparatus of the present invention is configured as described above. To take out the scum floating in the septic tank 1, the suction pump 5 is periodically or automatically, and the upper limit of the scum floating and stacked is automatically detected by a sensor or the like. The detection is performed for a certain period of time, whereby the scum p in the separation chamber B is sucked through the scum suction pipe 7 and then sent from the discharge pipe 8 through the fixed pipe 6 to the bottom of the scum separation tank 10. During the feeding, fine air bubbles adhere to the scum in the pipe by blowing air from the diffuser 9, whereby the scum flowing into the tank rises upward in a short time. That is, the scum p with air bubbles is applied to the tank 10
By rotating the disk 11 in the direction of the arrow (a) shown in the drawing, the disk 11 is set up vertically (indicated by a dashed line in the figure) and is blown upward in a state of being separated from wastewater, and when the pump is stopped. When the scum is no longer blown, the disk 11 is rotated in the direction of the arrow (b) by the action of the weight 13 so that the original inclination angle (solid line in the drawing), that is, the lower end of the disk 11 is The engagement holds the fastening. At this time, a receiving fitting 12 ′ for supporting the disk 11 from below may be attached to the upper side of the inclined disk 11.

When the disk 11 is returned to the inclined state at a certain angle, the scum p blown up onto the disk slides on the disk 11 toward the scum storage box 16. In this case, the accompanying liquid water is supplied to the disk 11
The liquid flows down to the bottom of the tank 10 from a gap s (see FIG. 2) formed between the tank 10 and the inner wall surface of the tank.

On the other hand, the scum separated on the disk enters the scum storage box 16 from the scum outflow window 15 and is temporarily stored. When the on-off valve 17 is opened, a separate scum is provided. It can be taken out into the container 21.
By the way, although the liquid water is partially stored also in the bottom part of the scum storage box 16, most of the liquid is returned to the tank through the through hole 20, while the liquid water is stored in the bottom part of the tank 10. In the case of sewage which cannot be discharged, the valve 18 'is opened and returned to the septic tank again through the reflux pipe 18 in the case of sewage which cannot be discharged.
The valve 19 'is opened to lead to the drain.

[0015]

As described above, the present invention efficiently purifies the septic tank 1.
The floating scum p in the inside is automatically sucked and quickly and accurately separated from the sewage in a separate scum separation tank and can be taken out to the outside. The scum taken out by the device is According to the experimental results of the present inventor, bagging was performed as raw garbage as it was, and the garbage could be taken out together with general garbage on the garbage collection day.

In the above-described embodiment, the weight is attached to the scum suction pipe in the septic tank so that the pipe can be properly attached to the scum suction surface which descends without causing sideways or the like during the scum suction operation of the pipe. This is excellent in that a descending operation is performed. Although the sewage treatment tank has been described in the above example, it can be used for removing scum in a general water treatment facility such as a food service industry or a food processing industry, and can exert excellent effects.
