Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the following embodiments and modifications thereof include similar components. Therefore, in the following, common reference numerals will be given to these similar components, and duplicate description will be omitted.

The water treatment filtration device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a fiber filter medium 3 in which a plurality of fibers 2 are aggregated. Then, in the water treatment filtration device 10 of the present embodiment, the water treatment filter medium 1 including the fiber filter medium 3 is used.

[Water treatment filter medium]
First, the water treatment filter medium 1 used in the water treatment filtration device 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

As described above, the water treatment filter medium 1 of the present embodiment includes a fiber filter medium 3 in which a plurality of fibers 2 are aggregated. In the present embodiment, the fiber filter medium 3 is a fiber structure made of a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric, and is formed in a flexible sheet shape as shown in FIG. The fiber filter medium 3 has a large number of pores 4 through which water to be treated can pass. The fiber filter medium 3 may be a fiber structure in which a plurality of woven fabrics and / or non-woven fabrics are laminated. However, the fiber filter medium 3 is preferably a non-woven fabric from the viewpoint of efficiently capturing the insoluble components in the water to be treated while suppressing the pressure loss.

The material of the fiber 2 constituting the fiber filter medium 3 is not particularly limited, and for example, a material having high durability against water and chemicals can be used. As the material of the fiber 2, at least one of the olefin resin fiber and the polyester resin fiber can be used. Specifically, as the material of the fiber 2, at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate can be used. Further, as the material of the fiber 2, at least one selected from the group consisting of cellulose, acrylic resin and polyamide can be used.

By using such an inexpensive fiber material as the fiber filter medium 3, a low-cost water treatment filter medium 1 can be realized. Further, the fiber filter medium 3 made of the above material has excellent flexibility. Therefore, unlike a general disposable cartridge filter, the water treatment filter medium 1 can be easily removed by hand washing or washing with a washing machine after use. As a result, the water treatment filter medium 1 can be reused many times. Further, the water treatment filter medium 1 is excellent in durability because it can be used continuously without any problem even if a part of the fiber filter medium 3 is damaged by repeated washing.

The average value of the fiber diameters of the fibers 2 constituting the fiber filter medium 3 is preferably 0.1 μm to 10 μm. The basis weight of the fiber filter medium 3 is preferably 10 g / m ² or more. By setting the fiber diameter of the fiber 2 constituting the fiber filter medium 3 and the basis weight of the fiber filter medium 3 within the above ranges, the specific surface area inside the fiber filter medium is increased and the contact property between the water to be treated and the coagulant is improved. , It becomes possible to efficiently capture the insoluble component in the water to be treated. The upper limit of the basis weight of the fiber filter medium 3 is not particularly limited, but may be 1000 g / m ² .

The thickness of the fiber filter medium 3 is not particularly limited, and may be various thicknesses. For example, a sheet-shaped fiber filter medium 3 having a thickness similar to that of chili paper or tissue can be used. The thickness of the sheet-shaped fiber filter medium 3 is preferably such that dirt adhering to the inside of the fiber filter medium 3 can be easily removed.

Note that, as the fiber filter medium 3, a fiber structure having pleats (folds) on the entire surface may be used. Having pleats makes it possible to enhance the effect of removing insoluble components in the water to be treated. That is, the larger the surface area of the fiber filter medium 3 with respect to the cross-sectional area through which the water to be treated passes in the filtration container portion described later, the larger the area for filtering the insoluble component, and the purification performance is improved. Therefore, by providing pleats on the fiber filter medium 3 to increase the area for filtering the insoluble components, it is possible to improve the collection performance of the insoluble components. The method of forming the pleats on the fiber filter medium 3 is not particularly limited, but the pleats can be formed, for example, by repeatedly folding the fiber structure.

In the present embodiment, the water treatment filter medium 1 carries a cationic flocculant on the surface of the fibers 2 constituting the fiber filter medium 3. The fine particles of the insoluble component in the water to be treated are usually negatively charged and float in the water to be treated while electrically repelling each other. Then, when the fine particles in the water to be treated come into contact with the cationic flocculant, the fine particles are electrically neutralized, so that the fine particles can bind to each other and aggregate. Further, since the fine particles of the insoluble component in the water to be treated are negatively charged, they are electrostatically adsorbed to the cationic flocculant.

The cationic flocculant is not particularly limited as long as it can electrically neutralize fine particles of insoluble components in the water to be treated. The cationic flocculant is preferably a flocculant composed of at least one of an inorganic material and a natural organic polymer material. The cationic flocculant composed of an inorganic material is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyaluminum chloride, band sulfate (aluminum sulfate), ferric sulfate, ferrous sulfate, polysilica iron, ferric chloride and slaked lime. Is preferable. Further, the flocculant made of a natural organic polymer material is preferably chitosan.

Further, the water treatment filter medium 1 carries an anionic surfactant in addition to the cationic flocculant on the surface of the fibers 2 constituting the fiber filter medium 3. In the water treatment filter medium 1 of the present embodiment, an anionic surfactant is adhered to the surface of the fiber filter medium 3, the surface of the fiber 2 is negatively charged, and then the surface of the fiber 2 is brought into contact with the cationic flocculant to cause cationic aggregation. The agent is supported on the surface of the fiber 2.

More specifically, when the fiber filter medium 3 is brought into direct contact with the cationic flocculant, when the surface of the fiber 2 is positively charged, the surface of the fiber 2 and the cationic flocculant repel each other, and the surface of the fiber 2 is repelled. It becomes difficult for the cationic flocculant to be supported on the fiber. On the other hand, by supporting the anionic surfactant on the surface of the fiber filter medium 3 in advance, the surface of the fiber 2 is negatively charged. When the negatively charged fiber filter medium 3 is brought into contact with the cationic flocculant, the cationic flocculant is easily adsorbed on the surface of the fiber filter medium 3. Therefore, by supporting the anionic surfactant in advance, the cationic flocculant can be efficiently supported on the surface of the fiber filter medium 3. Further, in the fiber filter medium 3, the cationic flocculant is supported via an anionic surfactant, and the anionic surfactant exerts an anchor effect between the surface of the fiber 2 and the cationic flocculant. Therefore, the cationic flocculant can be stably retained on the surface of the fiber 2 for a long period of time.

The anionic surfactant is not particularly limited as long as it can exhibit the above effects, but for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of a carboxylic acid type, a sulfonic acid type, a sulfate ester type, and a phosphoric acid ester type should be used. Can be done. The carboxylic acid type anionic surfactant shall be at least one selected from the group consisting of aliphatic monocarboxylic acid salts, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether carboxylates, N-acyl sarcosin salts, and N-acyl glutamates. Is preferable. Sulfonic acid type anionic surfactants are dialkyl sulfosulfates, alkane sulfonates, alpha olefin sulfonates, linear alkyl benzene sulfonates, alkyl (branched chain) benzene sulfonates, naphthalene sulfonates-formaldehyde. It is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of condensates, alkylnaphthalene sulfonates, and N-methyl-N-acyltaurine salts. The sulfate ester type anionic surfactant is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfates, and fat and oil sulfates. The phosphoric acid ester type anionic surfactant is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of alkyl phosphates, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphates, and polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ether phosphates.

The operation of such a water treatment filter medium 1 will be described. As will be described later, the water treatment filter medium 1 is held and used inside the filtration container portion. At this time, the water treatment filter medium 1 may be held inside the filtration container portion in a state of being irregularly folded and laminated. Further, the water treatment filter medium 1 may be held inside the filtration container portion in a state of wrinkling or losing its shape due to being squeezed or rolled, that is, in a so-called crumpled state.

When a plurality of water treatment filter media 1 are held inside the filtration container portion, the water treatment filter medium 1 in a folded and laminated state and the so-called crumpled water treatment filter medium 1 coexist. You may do so.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, by filling the net 5 with a plurality of sheets of the water treatment filter medium 1, the water treatment filter medium 1 wrapped in the net 5 is held inside the filtration container portion. You may. In the present embodiment, a plurality of sheet-shaped filter media 1 for water treatment are randomly put into the hollow net 5 having a substantially cylindrical shape.

At this time, the plurality of sheets of the water treatment filter medium 1 are the water of at least one of the water treatment filter medium 1 in a folded and laminated state and the water treatment filter medium 1 in a so-called crumpled state. It is preferable to fill the net 5 so that the processing filter medium 1 is present.

The columnar net 5 can have a size corresponding to the filtration portion of the filtration container portion described later. For example, the columnar net 5 can be formed so that the size is slightly larger than that of the filtration portion of the filtration container portion. Then, when the net 5 filled with the water treatment filter medium 1 is arranged and held in the filtration portion, the water treatment filter medium 1 inside the net 5 is compressed by a predetermined amount in the radial direction and the axial direction of the net 5. It is possible to do so. By doing so, the water treatment filter medium 1 can be easily taken in and out of the filter container portion.

It is also possible to use a columnar net 5 whose size is smaller than that of the filtration part of the filtration container part. Further, the shape of the net 5 is not limited to a columnar shape, and various shapes can be used.

Then, when the water to be treated is put into the inside of the filtration container and the water to be treated passes through the pores 4 of the water treatment filter medium 1, the water to be treated and the cationic flocculant come into contact with each other. The insoluble component fine particles in the water to be treated are usually negatively charged, but the fine particles are electrically neutralized by contact with a cationic flocculant. In addition, the electrically neutralized fine particles tend to come close to each other, and the particles are bonded to each other by the van der Waals force. As a result, the insoluble component fine particles aggregate with each other. Further, the negatively charged insoluble component fine particles are electrostatically adsorbed on the cationic flocculant supported on the surface of the fiber 2. Therefore, the fine particles of the insoluble component are captured on the surface of the fiber 2 in the water treatment filter medium 1 and separated from the water to be treated. In this way, the insoluble component can be removed by passing the water to be treated through the water treatment filter medium 1.

As described above, the water treatment filter medium 1 of the present embodiment includes a cationic flocculant composed of at least one of an inorganic material and a natural organic polymer material, and an anionic surfactant. The water treatment filter medium 1 further includes a fiber filter medium 3 in which a plurality of fibers 2 are aggregated and both a cationic flocculant and an anionic surfactant are supported on the surface of each fiber 2. Since the water treatment filter medium 1 carries a cationic flocculant on the surface of each fiber 2 of the fiber filter medium 3, it electrostatically adsorbs fine particles of insoluble components in the water to be treated, and further aggregates the fine particles with each other. Let me. Then, the fine particles of the insoluble component can be retained on the surface of each fiber 2 of the fiber filter medium 3. Therefore, the insoluble component can be separated and removed from the water to be treated by passing the water to be treated through the water treatment filter medium 1. Further, on the surface of the fiber filter medium 3, the cationic flocculant is supported via an anionic surfactant. Therefore, the cationic flocculant can be stably retained on the surface of the fiber filter medium 3 for a long period of time.

Further, since the water treatment filter medium 1 uses the fiber filter medium 3 as the base material, it is possible to suppress the generation of mud balls and maintain the filtration performance in a high state for a long period of time.

In the water treatment filter medium 1, the cationic flocculant made of an inorganic material is preferably polyaluminum chloride, and the cationic flocculant made of a natural organic polymer material is preferably chitosan. These materials tend to electrostatically adsorb fine particles of insoluble components in the water to be treated, and further tend to agglomerate the fine particles with each other. Therefore, by using these materials as the cationic flocculant, it is possible to further improve the filtration performance of the water treatment filter medium 1.

Further, in the water treatment filter medium 1, the fiber filter medium 3 is preferably made of a material that can be washed with water. That is, the fiber filter medium 3 is preferably made of a material that is not damaged even when washed with water. In this case, after the water treatment filter medium 1 has been used for a certain period of time, the water treatment filter medium 1 can be taken out from the filtration container and washed with water. Then, by adding chemicals (cationic flocculant and anionic surfactant) at the time of washing, the consumed chemicals can be supplied each time. Therefore, the water treatment filter medium 1 can maintain high filtration performance for a long period of time. Further, since such a water treatment filter medium 1 can be regularly washed with a strong force, for example, by hand washing or washing using a washing machine, the generation of mud balls is suppressed and high filtration performance is achieved. Can be sustained.

The fiber filter medium 3 itself, which is a collection of a plurality of fibers 2, is used as the water treatment filter medium 1, and the water treatment filter medium 1, that is, the fiber filter medium 3 is put into the inside of the filtration container and held. The water to be treated may be filtered.

Further, the water treatment filter medium 1 and / or the fiber filter medium 3 (hereinafter, referred to as water treatment filter medium 1 and the like) does not need to be formed in a sheet shape, and can be formed into various shapes.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, it can be a substantially columnar (lumpy) water treatment filter medium 1 or the like. The columnar water treatment filter medium 1 and the like can have a size corresponding to the filtration portion of the filtration container portion described later. For example, when a columnar water treatment filter medium 1 or the like is formed so as to have a size slightly larger than the filtration portion of the filtration container portion, and the water treatment filter medium 1 or the like is arranged and held in the filtration portion. , It is possible to compress a predetermined amount in the radial direction and the axial direction. In this way, the fiber filtration portion described later can be formed by using one water treatment filter medium 1 or the like.

It is also possible to form the fiber filtration portion by using a plurality of columnar water treatment filter media 1 and the like whose size is smaller than that of the filtration portion of the filtration container portion. Further, the columnar water treatment filter medium 1 and the like may be wrapped in the net 5.

It is also possible to use a water treatment filter medium 1 or the like as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows a thick, lumpy (lumpy) water treatment filter medium 1 and the like. Then, in FIG. 4, the thick block of water treatment filter medium 1 and the like are arranged inside the substantially columnar net 5 in a state of being rolled into a spiral shape.

In this way, by wrapping the thick lump of water treatment filter medium 1 or the like in the net 5, it is possible to prevent the shape from being deformed when it is put into the inside of the filtration container and held. This makes it easier to put it inside the filtration container. It is also possible to directly put the thick lump of water treatment filter medium 1 and the like into the inside of the filtration container without using the net 5.

Further, the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like may include at least one of a sheet-shaped water treatment filter medium 1 and the like and a lumpy water treatment filter medium 1 and the like. That is, when a plurality of water treatment filter media 1 and the like are held inside the filtration container portion, the water treatment filter media 1 and the like having different shapes may be mixed.

When the net 5 is used, it is preferable to use a net having a relatively coarse mesh so that the filtration performance cannot be deteriorated due to the clogging of the net 5.

A downstream side protrusion 123b is provided as a side locking portion.

The upstream side protrusion 123a is formed so as to project from the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 122 toward the inside (central axis side), and extends so as to be elongated in a substantially horizontal direction. In the present embodiment, the four upstream protrusions 123a are formed substantially evenly along the circumferential direction.

That is, in the present embodiment, the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like are interposed between the upstream fixing plate 14A and the downstream fixing plate 14B in a compressed state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the two pressing members 14 are arranged so as to be separated from each other in the water flow direction of the water treatment filtration device 10, and water is separated between the two pressing members 14 which are separated from each other. A processing filter medium 1 or the like is interposed. That is, water treatment is performed between the upstream fixing plate 14A fixed to the upper side (upstream side) of the container main body 12 and the downstream fixing plate 14B fixed to the lower side (downstream side) of the container main body 12. The filtration unit 15 on which the filter medium including the filter medium 1 and the like is arranged is formed.

Then, the portion of the filtration unit 15 where the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like are arranged is the fiber filtration unit 151. The fiber filtration unit 151 is filled with one or more water treatment filter media 1 and the like. In this embodiment, the entire filtration unit 15 is illustrated as the fiber filtration unit 151.

It is also possible that a part of the filtration unit 15 becomes the fiber filtration unit 151. With such a configuration, for example, an activated carbon layer in which activated carbon is arranged is formed on the downstream side of the filtration unit 15, and a fiber filtration unit 151 in which a water treatment filter medium 1 or the like is arranged is formed on the upstream side of the activated carbon layer.

By forming the pressing member 14 in such a configuration, when the water to be treated passes, the water to be treated can be evenly flowed in the axial direction of the filtration container portion 11. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the water to be treated from concentrating on the central portion of the filter container portion 11, and to maintain high purification performance for a long period of time as a whole of the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, a notch portion 141 recessed in the radial direction is formed on the outer peripheral side of the pressing member 14 (upstream side fixing plate 14A and downstream side fixing plate 14B).

The notch 141 formed in the downstream fixing plate 14B has a circumferential width W3 larger than the circumferential width W1 of the upstream projecting portion 123a and a circumferential width W2 of the downstream projecting portion 123b. It is formed to be smaller than. On the other hand, the notch portion 141 formed in the upstream side fixing plate 14A is formed so that the width W3 in the circumferential direction is larger than the width W1 in the circumferential direction of the upstream side protrusion 123a.

In the present embodiment, the upstream side fixing plate 14A and the downstream side fixing plate 14B have substantially the same shape. That is, using the pressing member 14 having a common structure, the pressing member 14 arranged on the downstream side is the downstream fixing plate 14B, and the pressing member 14 arranged on the upstream side is the upstream fixing plate 14A. Therefore, the notch portion 141 formed in the upstream side fixing plate 14A is also formed so that the width W3 in the circumferential direction is smaller than the width W2 in the circumferential direction of the downstream side protrusion 123b.

Then, the outer peripheral side of the portion of the pressing member 14 (upstream side fixing plate 14A and downstream side fixing plate 14B) where the notch portion 141 is not formed is the locked portion 14b.

By making the shape of the pressing member 14 (upstream side fixing plate 14A and downstream side fixing plate 14B) such a shape, when the pressing member 14 is introduced into the container main body portion 12, the upstream side protrusion 123a I try not to interfere with the introduction.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the pressing member 14 and the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like are introduced into the container main body 12 as follows. The following method is only an example, and other methods can be used.

First, one (one) pressing member 14 is introduced inside the container main body 12, and the locked portion 14b on the outer peripheral side is placed on the upper surface of the downstream protruding portion 123b (locked so that it can be released). By doing so, the downstream fixing plate 14B is detachably provided on the container main body 12. At this time, the pressing member 14 is moved downward with the notch portion 141 facing the upstream side protrusion 123a. In this way, the pressing member 14 can be moved to the downstream side of the upstream side protrusion 123a without being disturbed by the upstream side protrusion 123a.

Then, if the locked portion 14b is further moved to the downstream side in the same state, the locked portion 14b is placed on the upper surface of the downstream side protrusion 123b. In the present embodiment, the width W3 in the circumferential direction of the notch portion 141 is made smaller than the width W2 in the circumferential direction of the downstream side protrusion 123b. Therefore, no matter how the pressing member 14 is rotated, any portion of the locked portion 14b is placed on the upper surface of the downstream side protrusion 123b.

Therefore, even if the pressing member 14 in which the notch portion 141 is formed is used as the downstream fixing plate 14B, it is possible to prevent the pressing member 14 from slipping through the downstream protruding portion 123b and falling downward (downstream side). It has become so.

Next, the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like are introduced into the container main body portion 12 and placed on the pressing member 14 (downstream side fixing plate 14B) placed on the upper surface of the downstream side protrusion 123b. At this time, as the water treatment filter medium 1 or the like arranged on the pressing member 14, the ones shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 can be used.

For example, when a plurality of sheet-shaped water treatment filter media 1 and the like are directly introduced into the container body 12, a plurality of sheet-shaped water treatment filter media 1 and the like are randomly placed inside the container body 12. Can be thrown into. In this way, the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like can be arranged on the pressing member 14 (downstream side fixing plate 14B) in a folded and laminated state or in a so-called crumpled state.

Then, with the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like arranged on the downstream side fixing plate 14B, another pressing member 14 is introduced into the container main body portion 12, and the locked portion 14b on the outer peripheral side is moved to the upstream side. It is brought into contact with the lower surface of the protrusion 123a (locked so that it can be released). By doing so, the upstream fixing plate 14A is detachably provided on the container main body 12.

At this time, the pressing member 14 is moved downward with the notch portion 141 facing the upstream side protrusion 123a. In this way, the pressing member 14 can be moved to the downstream side of the upstream side protrusion 123a without being disturbed by the upstream side protrusion 123a. At this time, the pressing member 14 moves to the downstream side of the upstream side protrusion 123a while pressing the water treatment filter medium 1 or the like arranged on the downstream side fixing plate 14B.

Then, by rotating the pressing member 14 moved to the downstream side of the upstream side protrusion 123a by about 45 °, the locked portion 14b is made to face the lower surface of the upstream side protrusion 123a. By doing so, the pressing member 14 moves upward (upstream side) due to the restoring force of the compressed water treatment filter medium 1 and the like, and the locked portion 14b abuts (releases) on the lower surface of the upstream side protrusion 123a. Lock as possible). In this way, the upstream fixing plate 14A is detachably provided on the container main body 12.

It is preferable that the water treatment filter medium 1 or the like arranged in the filtration unit 15 is compressed in a folded and laminated state or in a crumpled state.

By doing so, the crushed pores 4 of the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like are formed in the entire filtration section 15 (fiber filtration section 151) so that the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like can be used three-dimensionally. become.

At this time, at least a part of the filtration unit 15 may be formed by a water treatment filter medium 1 or the like wrapped in a net 5.

Here, the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like become denser as they are compressed, and minute insoluble components in the water to be treated, for example, micron-order insoluble components can be removed. In order to compress the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like to a level at which insoluble components on the order of microns can be removed, for example, the following may be performed. That is, a larger amount of the filter medium 1 for water treatment is arranged between the upstream side fixing plate 14A and the downstream side fixing plate 14B, and is compressed by the upstream side fixing plate 14A and the downstream side fixing plate 14B. The filtration unit 15 (fiber filtration unit 151) having the filtration performance of the above may be used.

As a result, the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like are used three-dimensionally, so that it is possible to perform filtration with higher performance than the sand filter medium.

In this way, by appropriately setting the amount of the water treatment filter medium 1 or the like arranged between the upstream side fixing plate 14A and the downstream side fixing plate 14B, the filtration unit 15 having the desired filtration performance (fiber filtration unit 151). ) Can be.

It should be noted that the upstream side protrusions 123a for locking the upstream side fixing plate 14A may be provided at a plurality of locations in a state of being separated along the vertical direction (water flow direction of the water treatment filtration device 10). By doing so, even when the same amount of the water treatment filter medium 1 or the like is used, the water treatment filter medium 1 or the like is compressed according to the position of the upstream side protrusion 123a that locks the upstream side fixing plate 14A. The amount can be changed step by step.

It is also possible to use the water treatment filtration device 10 as shown in FIG. 6A.

A downstream side protrusion 123b is provided as a locking portion.

The upstream side protrusion 123a is formed so as to project from the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 122 toward the inside (central axis side), and the four upstream side protrusions 123a are formed substantially evenly along the circumferential direction. There is. Further, the downstream side protrusion 123b is also formed so as to project from the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 122 toward the inside (central axis side), and the four downstream side protrusions 123b are formed substantially evenly along the circumferential direction. Has been done.

Here, in the water treatment filtration device 10 shown in FIG. 6A, the upstream side protrusion 123a is formed so as to have a substantially T shape when viewed along the radial direction of the peripheral wall portion 122. There is.

That is, the maximum width portion 123c having the maximum width W1 in the circumferential direction is formed on the upstream side of the upstream side protrusion 123a from the most downstream portion. The shape of the upstream projecting portion 123a may be tapered or triangular in width toward the downstream side in a state of being viewed along the radial direction of the peripheral wall portion 122. Further, it is also possible to make the shape of the upstream side protrusion 123a a rhombus so that the diagonal line is in the vertical direction when viewed along the radial direction of the peripheral wall portion 122.

On the other hand, the downstream side protrusion 123b is extended so as to be elongated in the substantially horizontal direction.

Also, in the water treatment filtration device 10 shown in FIG. 6A, the width W1 in the circumferential direction of the upstream side protrusion 123a is smaller than the width W2 in the circumferential direction of the downstream side protrusion 123b.

Further, also in the water treatment filtration device 10 shown in FIG. 6A, the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like are interposed between the upstream side fixing plate 14A and the downstream side fixing plate 14B in a compressed state. ..

Then, as the upstream side fixing plate 14A and the downstream side fixing plate 14B, the pressing member 14 as shown in FIG. 6B is used.

Two types of notches 141 that are recessed in the radial direction are formed on the outer peripheral side of the pressing member 14 (upstream side fixing plate 14A and downstream side fixing plate 14B) shown in FIG. 6B.

Specifically, the notch portion 141 formed in the pressing member 14 includes a first notch portion 141a and a second notch portion 141b having a width narrower in the circumferential direction than the first notch portion 141a. ,have.

The first cutout portion 141a is formed so that the width W3 in the circumferential direction is larger than the width W1 in the circumferential direction in the maximum width portion 123c of the upstream side protrusion 123a.

The second notch portion 141b is formed so that the width W4 in the circumferential direction is smaller than the width W1 in the circumferential direction in the maximum width portion 123c of the upstream side protrusion 123a. The second notch portion 141b is formed so that the width W4 in the circumferential direction is larger than the width W5 in the circumferential direction on the tip side 123d on the downstream side of the maximum width portion 123c of the upstream side protrusion 123a. ing.

Also in the water treatment filtration device 10 shown in FIG. 6A, the upstream side fixing plate 14A and the downstream side fixing plate 14B have substantially the same shape.

Then, the pressing member 14 and the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like are introduced into the container main body 12 as follows. The following method is only an example, and other methods can be used.

First, one (one) pressing member 14 is introduced inside the container main body 12, and the locked portion 14b on the outer peripheral side is placed on the upper surface of the downstream protruding portion 123b (locked so that it can be released). By doing so, the downstream fixing plate 14B is detachably provided on the container main body 12. At this time, the pressing member 14 is moved downward with the first cutout portion 141a facing the maximum width portion 123c of the upstream side protrusion 123a. In this way, the pressing member 14 can be moved to the downstream side of the upstream side protrusion 123a without being disturbed by the upstream side protrusion 123a.

Then, if the locked portion 14b is further moved to the downstream side in the same state, the locked portion 14b is placed on the upper surface of the downstream side protrusion 123b. As described above, the width W3 in the circumferential direction of the notch portion 141 is made smaller than the width W2 in the circumferential direction of the downstream side protrusion 123b. Therefore, no matter how the pressing member 14 is rotated, any portion of the locked portion 14b is placed on the upper surface of the downstream side protrusion 123b.

Then, with the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like arranged on the downstream side fixing plate 14B, another pressing member 14 is introduced into the container main body portion 12, and the locked portion 14b on the outer peripheral side is moved to the upstream side. The protrusion 123a is brought into contact with the lower surface (locked so as to be released). By doing so, the upstream fixing plate 14A is detachably provided on the container main body 12.

At this time, the pressing member 14 is moved downward with the first notch portion 141a facing the maximum width portion 123c of the upstream side protrusion 123a. In this way, the pressing member 14 can be moved to the downstream side of the upstream side protrusion 123a without being disturbed by the maximum width portion 123c of the upstream side protrusion 123a. At this time, the pressing member 14 moves to the downstream side of the upstream side protrusion 123a while pressing the water treatment filter medium 1 or the like arranged on the downstream side fixing plate 14B.

Then, by rotating the pressing member 14 moved to the downstream side of the upstream side protrusion 123a by about 45 °, the second notch 141b is made to face the tip end side 123d of the upstream side protrusion 123a. At this time, the locked portion 14b faces the lower surface of the upstream side protrusion 123a.

Then, in such a state, the pressing member 14 moves upward (upstream side) due to the restoring force of the compressed water treatment filter medium 1 and the like, and the tip end side 123d of the upstream side protrusion 123a is the second notch. It is inserted into the portion 141b. Then, the locked portion 14b comes into contact with the lower surface of the upstream side protruding portion 123a (locked so that it can be released). In this way, the upstream fixing plate 14A is detachably provided on the container main body 12.

In this way, by inserting the tip end side 123d of the upstream side protrusion 123a into the second notch portion 141b, the rotation of the upstream side fixing plate 14A is suppressed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the locked portion 14b from being released from contact with the lower surface of the upstream side protrusion 123a, and to prevent the upstream side fixing plate 14A from coming off from the container body portion 12. become.

A clue portion 142 on which a finger can be hooked is formed in the central portion of the pressing member 14 (upstream side fixing plate 14A and downstream side fixing plate 14B) shown in FIG. 6B, and the pressing member 14 Is easier to hold.

It is also possible to use the water treatment filtration device 10 shown in FIG. 8A. The water treatment filtration device 10 shown in FIG. 8A basically has substantially the same configuration as the water treatment filtration device 10 shown in FIG. 5A.

Here, in the water treatment filtration device 10 shown in FIG. 8A, the introduction hole 122b for introducing the water to be treated into the inside of the filtration container portion 11 is not the upper wall portion 131 of the lid portion 13 but the peripheral wall. It is provided on the upper part of the portion 122. The introduction hole 122b is also formed on the upstream side of the upstream side protrusion (upstream side locking portion) 123a in the filtration container portion 11.

Further, also in the water treatment filtration device 10 shown in FIG. 8A, an upstream fixing plate (holding member arranged on the upstream side of the fiber filter medium 3) 14A is provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 122 of the container main body portion 12. An upstream side protrusion 123a is provided as an upstream side locking part for locking the above. Further, a downstream side fixing plate (holding member arranged on the downstream side of the fiber filter medium 3) 14B is locked downstream of the upstream side protrusion 123a on the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 122 of the container main body portion 12. A downstream side protrusion 123b is provided as a side locking portion.

Here, in the water treatment filtration device 10 shown in FIG. 8A, the upstream side protrusion 123a is formed so as to project from the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 122 toward the inside (central axis side), and is substantially abbreviated. It is formed over the entire circumference so as to extend in the horizontal direction. Similarly, the downstream side protrusion 123b is also formed so as to project from the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 122 toward the inside (central axis side), and is formed over the entire circumference so as to extend substantially in the horizontal direction. ing.

Then, as the upstream side fixing plate 14A and the downstream side fixing plate 14B, the pressing member 14 as shown in FIG. 9 is used.

The pressing member 14 (upstream side fixing plate 14A and downstream side fixing plate 14B) shown in FIG. 9 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, and can be flexed while elastically deforming the whole. There is.

First, one (one) pressing member 14 is introduced inside the container main body 12, and the locked portion 14b on the outer peripheral side is placed on the upper surface of the downstream protruding portion 123b (locked so that it can be released). By doing so, the downstream fixing plate 14B is detachably provided on the container main body 12.

Specifically, with the outer peripheral edge in contact with the upper surface of the upstream side protrusion 123a, the pressing member 14 is strongly pushed downward to bend the pressing member 14. By doing so, the outer peripheral edge of the pressing member 14 gets over the upstream side projecting portion 123a, and the pressing member 14 moves to the downstream side of the upstream side projecting portion 123a. Then, if the locked portion 14b is further moved to the downstream side in the same state, the locked portion 14b is placed on the upper surface of the downstream side protrusion 123b.

Then, with the water treatment filter medium 1 and the like placed on the downstream fixing plate 14B, another pressing member 14 is introduced into the container main body 12 and strongly pushed downward. By doing so, the other pressing member 14 is moved to the downstream side of the upstream side protrusion 123a so that the upstream side fixing plate 14A is detachably provided on the container main body portion 12.

In the water treatment filtration device 10 disclosed in FIGS. 5 (a), 6 (a), and 8 (a), the recess 124 as a locking portion for locking the locked portion 14b of the pressing member 14. May be formed on the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 122 (see FIG. 10). Then, by inserting the locked portion 14b of the pressing member 14 into the recess 124, the pressing member 14 may be detachably provided in the container main body portion 12.

Next, the operation of such a water treatment filtration device 10 will be described. The water to be treated introduced into the inside of the filtration container portion 11 through the introduction hole 131a of the lid portion 13 and the introduction hole 122b of the peripheral wall portion 122 passes through the hole portion 14a of the upstream fixing plate 14A and is used as a water treatment filter medium 1. To reach. Since the water treatment filter medium 1 carries a cationic flocculant on the surface of each fiber 2 of the fiber filter medium 3, the fine particles of the insoluble component in the water to be treated are electrostatically adsorbed and the fine particles are aggregated with each other. Let me. Then, the fine particles of the insoluble component are held on the surface of each fiber 2 of the fiber filter medium 3, and the insoluble component is separated and removed from the water to be treated. The water to be treated that has passed through the water treatment filter medium 1 passes through the hole 14a of the downstream fixing plate 14B and is led out to the outside of the filtration container 11 through the lead-out hole 121a of the container body 12.

As described above, the water treatment filtration device 10 of the present embodiment includes the water treatment filter medium 1 and the filtration container portion 11 that holds the water treatment filter medium 1 inside. Then, inside the filter container portion 11, the water treatment filter medium 1 is three-dimensionally (three-dimensionally) arranged by using the pressing member 14. Therefore, it is possible to suppress clogging of the water treatment filter medium 1 and maintain the filtration performance in a high state for a long period of time while performing filtration having higher performance than the sand filter medium.

In the water treatment filtration device 10, the water treatment filter medium 1 is held between the upstream side fixing plate 14A and the downstream side fixing plate 14B in a compressed state, so that the water treatment filter medium 1 is between the fibers 2 of the water treatment filter medium 1. The distance can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to improve the collection performance of the water treatment filter medium 1.

Further, in the water treatment filtration device 10, the filtration container portion 11 includes a container main body portion 12 and a lid portion 13. Therefore, the water treatment filter medium 1 can be easily taken out by removing the upstream side fixing plate 14A after removing the lid portion 13 from the container main body portion 12. Then, since the water treatment filter medium 1 can be washed or replaced as needed, the maintenance and management of the water treatment filtration device 10 can be easily performed.

[Water treatment system]
Next, a water treatment system using the above-mentioned water treatment filtration device 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, the water treatment filtration device 10 of the present embodiment is incorporated in the water treatment system 100. The water treatment system 100 includes a main flow path 20. One end of the main flow path 20 reaches the treated water W, which is well water or tap water existing in the ground. The other end of the main flow path 20 is connected to the faucet 50.

A pump P is connected upstream of the drug dissolving device 30 in the main flow path 20. The pump P pumps the water to be treated W along the main flow path 20. As such a pump P, for example, an electric pump provided with an accumulator and a pressure switch can be used. The water W to be treated pumped up by the pump P is introduced into the drug dissolving device 30, and the drug dissolving device 30, for example, dissolves a certain amount of chlorine-based chemicals.

A water treatment filtration device 10 and a chlorine removal tank 40 are connected downstream of the drug dissolving device 30 in the main flow path 20. The chlorine removing tank 40 removes excess chlorine contained in the water to be treated W. As the chlorine removal tank 40, a container filled with activated carbon particles is used.

The chlorine removing tank 40 filled with activated carbon particles may be provided on the downstream side of the portion where the fiber filtration portion 151 is formed inside the water treatment filtration device 10.

Further, although not shown, in the water treatment system 100, an aggregation promoting portion for promoting aggregation of fine particles of insoluble components contained in the water to be treated W is provided between the drug dissolving device 30 and the water treatment filtering device 10. It may be intervened. The aggregation promoting portion can be directly connected to the main flow path 20, and for example, the one described in Japanese Patent No. 6519934 can be used.

A space in which the water to be treated introduced from the introduction hole 131a or the introduction hole 122b can be temporarily retained on the upstream side of the portion where the fiber filtration portion 151 of the water treatment filtration device 10 is formed. Is formed. Specifically, a space is formed between the upper wall portion 131 of the lid portion 13 and the upstream projecting portion 123a so that the water to be treated can be temporarily retained. Therefore, this space portion may function as an aggregation promoting portion that promotes aggregation of fine particles of insoluble components contained in the water to be treated W. This space is formed so that when the water to be treated has a predetermined flow rate (for example, about 6.3 L / min), the water to be treated stays in this space for a predetermined time (for example, about 75 seconds). Can be done.

In such a water treatment system 100, the pump P first operates to pump up the well water or tap water to be treated W existing in the ground. The pumped water W to be treated passes through the chemical dissolution device 30, and a chlorine-based chemical such as an aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite is introduced. By adding a chlorine-based chemical to the water W to be treated, for example, insoluble iron hydroxide (Fe (OH) 3) is formed before the iron ions in the water W to be treated become colloidal iron silicate. Become.

The insoluble component of the water W to be treated, in which the chlorine-based chemical is dissolved by passing through the chemical dissolving device 30, is removed by passing through the water treatment filtration device 10. Specifically, the main flow path 20 is connected to the introduction hole 13c of the lid portion 13 and the outlet hole 12c of the container body portion 12 in the water treatment filtration device 10. Then, as described above, when the water to be treated W passes through the water treatment filter medium 1, the insoluble components in the water to be treated W are captured and removed.

Excess chlorine is removed from the water W to be treated that has passed through the water treatment filtration device 10 by passing through the chlorine removal tank 40. Then, the water from which the foreign matter and the excess chlorine have been removed through the water treatment filtration device 10 and the chlorine removal tank 40 is supplied to the user from the faucet 50.

In this way, the pumped water W to be treated passes through the chemical dissolution device 30, the water treatment filtration device 10, and the chlorine removal tank 40, so that insoluble components and excess chlorine are removed. Then, the water treatment filtration device 10 can separate the fine particles of the insoluble component in the water to be treated W with high efficiency, so that clean water can be stably provided to the user.

[Action / Effect]
Hereinafter, the characteristic configuration of the water treatment filtration device 10 shown in the above embodiment and its modified example and the effect obtained by the characteristic configuration will be described.

As described above, the water treatment filtration device 10 according to the present disclosure is configured so that the pressing member 14 and the fiber filter medium 3 can be taken in and out from the opening 122a of the container main body 12. Therefore, the fiber filter medium 3 can be easily taken out, and the fiber filter medium 3 can be washed more easily.

Further, since the fiber filter medium 3 can be taken out from the container main body 12 and washed, it is not necessary to provide a mechanism such as backwashing in the water treatment filtration device 10, and the configuration can be simplified.

Further, by using the fiber filter medium 3 as a filtration filter, the fiber filter medium 3 can be used three-dimensionally (three-dimensionally). As a result, it is possible to suppress clogging of the fiber filter medium 3 and maintain the filtration performance in a high state for a long period of time while performing filtration having higher performance than that of the sand filter medium.
