Abstract

A wastewater-lifting system includes at least one bulky material-collection tank with at least one separating screen arranged in its interior for retaining bulky materials in wastewater loaded with bulky materials passing through the bulky material-collection tank. The system also includes at least one pump connected to the bulky material collection tank via at least one connection line. The separating screen may be removed from and reinserted into the bulky material collection tank predominantly vertically through a closable opening, guided by an inner guide in the bulky material collection tank.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wastewater-lifting system, comprising:
at least one bulky material-collecting tank having at least one separating screen arranged therein configured to separate bulky material from wastewater laden with the bulky material; at least one pump configured to pump or lift the wastewater is arranged in a downstream direction from the at least one bulky material-collecting tank, wherein
the at least one pump is connected to the at least one bulky material-collecting tank via at least one connecting line,
the at least one separating screen and a closable opening are configured to allow wastewater flow from the at least one pump upstream into the at least one bulky material-collecting tank,
the at least one separating screen and the closable opening are removable as a unit from the at least one bulky material-collecting tank,
the at least one bulky material-collecting tank includes an inner-side guide extending circumferentially around an inner wall of a box housing portion, the inner-side guide being configured to guide removal and insertion of the at least one separating screen and the closable opening in a predominately vertical direction.

2. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
wherein the shut-off flap is plugged into and pulled out of the inner-side guide.

3. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein
the at least one separating screen is arranged on a slide-in frame, which is slidable into and out of the box housing portion and interacts with the inner-side guide.

4. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
the slide-in frame and the inner-side guide are each formed in a complementary U-shape in a frontal view.

5. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
the at least one separating screen is arranged on the slide-in frame configured to cooperate with the inner-side guide during the removal and insertion.

6. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
the at least one separating screen, the inner-side guide and the slide-in frame are arranged in the box housing portion of an otherwise tubular housing of the bulky material-collecting tank.

7. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
the box housing portion has a top-side opening configured to receive the at least one separating screen, the inner-side guide and the slide-in frame.

8. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein
the top-side opening is configured to be closed off by a closure flange.

9. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein
the top-side opening and the closure flange are rectangular.

10. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein
the slide-in frame is connected to the closure flange.

11. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein
the closable opening includes a shut-off flap,
the slide-in frame supports the at least one separating screen and the shut-off flap.

12. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein
the shut-off flap is connected to the slide-in frame via a joint.

13. The wastewater-lifting system as claimed in claim 12 , wherein
the at least one separating screen includes multiple webs arranged at an edge of an aperture in the slide-in frame, and
the multiple webs are spaced apart from one another.
