The invention relates to an online automatic desilting device and method for a clarification tank. The device comprises a stirring pump room, a mounting base, a rotating mechanism with a gear ring, a rotating motor, a cross arm, a front-back walking electric hoist, a hoisting
rope, a movable
sludge discharge pump, a stirring motor, a
sludge discharge pipe, a sliding cable, a rotating bracket, walking wheels, a walking track, a bottom
sludge discharge pump, a water collecting tank, a clarification tank, a sludge level meter and a PLC (
Programmable Logic Controller)
control system. According to the method,
automation and instrument detection technologies are fully utilized, the sludge level of the clarification tank is detected, according to the structural characteristics of the clarification tank, under the condition that water feeding of the clarification tank is not
cut off, sludge in the tank can be cleaned, a PLC
control system is additionally arranged, a man-
machine picture is configured, the running state of all equipment is displayed through a background,
remote operation of the equipment is achieved, and the operation efficiency of the clarification tank is improved. Post personnel configuration is optimized, equipment intellectualization is achieved, equipment and production efficiency is improved, and production cost is reduced.
