摘要： A draft tube mixer is disclosed particularly adapted for use with digestion processes and apparatus wherein a vertical shaft (13) is driven by motor (15) through a suitable drive (14) to rotate a ragless propeller (12). The propeller (12) has a series of three lobes or blades (40-42) which are concentrically arranged at 120.degree. apart positions so that the minimum diameter of the blades are at the ends of a hub (43) from which the blades integrally extend. The blades extend over the length of the hub over about a 360.degree. of rotary motion helix. The blades (40-42) are symmetrical from their ends to the mid points on the vanes from either direction top or bottom so that the propeller is reversible without loss of efficiency. The leading edge (50) of each of the blades regresses from a point from the start of the blade progression tangent to the outside of the hub at each end so that this falling away of the angle of attack of the blade causes any debris striking the blade, such as rags or string to fall away outwardly of the blade hub so that it does not ball up or otherwise adhere to the hub area.

摘要： A novel vertical drive assembly for a storage and retrieval vehicle wherein a cable drive motor is horizontally juxtaposed between a lift cable winding and unwinding drum. The vertical drive assembly is modularly assembled on a frame and is attachable and detachable from the vehicle as a unit. The vertical drive assembly comprises, in seriatim, the motor, a belt drive sprocket wheel, a drive belt, a belt driven sprocket wheel, and, juxtaposed and on the same axis as the driven sprocket wheel, an input adapter, a speed reducer, and the drum. The motor is attached to the frame by jacks used to raise and lower the motor to adjust tension in the belt. To stay within the width of the vehicle, the input adapter and speed reducer are at least partly disposed within the core of the drum with the speed reducer providing a bearing for the drum. To reduce starting inertia, sprocket wheels are fabricated from lightweight material. Drum supports comprise louvered blades to induce air flow over the speed reducer when the drum rotates. In one embodiment, a concentric disc, spring actuated, electrically-released brake is mounted on the axis of the motor when the length of the combination motor and brake is less than the width of the vehicle. In another embodiment, a disc brake comprising pneumatic release and spring actuation is juxtaposed between the driven sprocket wheel and the input adapter. Interlocks prevent the vehicle from operating when air pressure is below a predetermined level.

摘要： A rotary distributor speed control system that uses hydraulic forces is provided. This rotary distributor speed control system is part of a trickling filter used in wastewater treatment. The trickling filter includes a tank which is filled with a porous filter media, a center column that extends through the center of the tank and holds a feed pipe through which influent wastewater flows, and distribution arms that extend radially from the center well. Each distribution arm has a forward side and a reverse side. The forward side and the reverse side each define at least one orifice. Slide gates are coupled with the distribution arms, and these gates can be moved so as to cover the orifices. A slide gate valve operator is also coupled with each arm for mechanically moving the slide gates in response to a change in influent feed flow, a change in arm speed, or external conditions.

摘要： A novel dual mast storage and retrieval vehicle comprising structure which maintains each mast essentially vertical as variably weighted heavy loads are placed on a carriage disposed between the masts. Each mast is disposed near the center of a separately supported base such that bending of the base under such loads induces little off-vertical deflection to the mast. The separately supported bases are coupled by a connector which comprises cross-aisle and vertical degrees of freedom but is strictly constrained in the down-aisle direction. In the currently preferred embodiment, two down-aisle drive motors, in master/slave relationship, provide a synchronous drive for the vehicle. Further, interconnecting joints a strut at the top of the masts and of the carriage comprise hinges which resist propagation of mast induced moments caused by beam deflection or vehicle dynamics. The invention comprises a lift cable vertical drive assembly wherein a motor is horizontally disposed down-aisle in line with a lift cable winding and unwinding drum. The vertical drive assembly is modularly assembled on a frame and is attachable and detachable from the vehicle as a unit. The vertical drive assembly comprises, in seriatim, the motor, a belt drive sprocket wheel, a drive belt, a belt driven sprocket wheel, and, juxtaposed and on the same axis as the driven sprocket wheel, an input adapter, a speed reducer, and a two lift cable drum. The motor is attached to the frame by jacks used to raise and lower the motor to adjust tension in the belt.

摘要： A lifting mechanism for a rake arm and rake structure employed to move sediments settling out from a solids-liquid slurry in a sedimentation tank, includes a fixed center column (27) in the tank and a concentric movable column (28) in telescoping relation to the fixed column. A first series of sheave assemblies (40) are attached to or fixed with respect to the fixed column and a second series of sheave assemblies (51-55) attached to the movable column at a vertically displaced distance from the first series. The respective sheave assemblies may extend in part in an annulus (34) between the fixed and movable columns and are positioned around the peripheries of the respective columns. A continuous cable (45) extends alternately between individual sheaves in each series and the ends of the cable are attached to a vertical take-up drum (38). Rotation of the drum winds up both ends of the cable, shortening the cable spans between the respective series of sheave assemblies thus raising the movable column with respect to the fixed column. The rakes, rake arms (17) and various torque members (14) and drive members (16) are attached to the movable column and are raised in unison by the take-up action of the cable ends by the drum. Spaced vertically extending multiple keys (60) and keyways (51) are affixed to facing surfaces of the fixed and movable column and the multiple sheave assemblies are positioned between the spaced keys and keyways.

摘要： An improved filtering machine of the down-flow type is disclosed wherein a particular section of a granular media filtration bed is isolated for backwashing while allowing filtration to proceed in the remainder of the bed. The filter machine includes a liquid-holding tank containing a bed of granular media, structure permitting passage of filtrate through the bed from below, a flume for distributing influent liquid containing suspended solids across the bed for downward percolation therethrough, and a partitioning chamber mounted on a carriage mechanism which selectively conveys the partitioning chamber across the surface of the bed. The partitioning chamber is reciprocatably insertable into the bed to isolate selected sections from the remainder of the bed. A pump is in communication with the partitioning chamber to draw liquid upward through the bed within the isolated section.
