Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sludge treatment, specifically to a truck feeder structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of sludge treatment in environmental engineering, treated sludge is generally stored in sludge silos. However, due to high environmental humidity or poor silo sealing, moisture can seep in continuously, easily causing the sludge in the silo to clump (sludge with a moisture content of over 75% is prone to clumping after long-term storage). As a result, the clumped sludge has poor fluidity, which not only easily clogs the sludge discharge port during discharge, affecting discharge efficiency, but also, if the clumped sludge stays in the silo for a long time, it may undergo complex biochemical reactions such as anaerobic fermentation, producing harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide, posing safety hazards. Therefore, in order to avoid the above problems, sludge needs to be discharged regularly to prevent it from becoming damp and clumping.
[0003] Currently, in the process of sludge transfer, most sludge trucks use open-top compartments to directly receive the sludge from the sludge bin's discharge port. This method easily leads to the sludge accumulating in the middle of the compartment, forming a "small mountain" shape (e.g., ...). Figure 9 As shown in the figure, this leads to uneven filling at the front and rear ends of the carriage. The existing solution to this problem is to have the driver frequently start the vehicle and move it back and forth so that different parts of the carriage are aligned with the mud discharge port multiple times to complete the loading work. However, this solution not only consumes a lot of fuel and increases transportation costs, but also significantly prolongs the loading time, reduces the efficiency of operation, and increases the workload of the driver. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a truck material distribution plate structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A truck-mounted material distribution plate structure includes a sludge receiving compartment located below the sludge discharge port at the bottom of a sludge silo. The inner wall of the sludge receiving compartment is provided with two material distribution components corresponding to the sludge discharge port at the bottom of the sludge silo. The two material distribution components are respectively inclinedly arranged at the front and rear ends of the sludge receiving compartment. Each material distribution component includes a positioning rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sludge receiving compartment, a material distribution plate rotatably connected to the positioning rod, and a support member and a limiting member fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sludge receiving compartment. The end of the material distribution plate away from the positioning rod is disposed between the support member and the limiting member, and the support member is provided with a reset component for pushing the material distribution plate to conform to the surface of the limiting member. The material distribution plate is a rectangular plate with a fan-shaped notch, and the fan-shaped notches on the two material distribution plates are arranged diagonally.
[0007] Preferably, the support includes a support plate located on the bottom surface of the material distribution plate and a plurality of support blocks. The two ends of the support plate are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mud receiving compartment, and one end of the support block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mud receiving compartment. The support plate and the support blocks are respectively inclined, and the top surface of one support plate and the top surfaces of the plurality of support blocks are respectively on the same plane.
[0008] Preferably, the reset assembly includes a plurality of positioning holes through the support plate, a headless screw threaded into the plurality of positioning holes, and a tension spring disposed between the headless screw and the distribution plate.
[0009] Preferably, the through thickness of the positioning hole is greater than the length of the headless screw, and the bottom surface of the material distribution plate is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning hole, with the end of the tension spring away from the headless screw located in the positioning groove.
[0010] Preferably, the plurality of positioning holes are equidistantly distributed along the length direction of the support plate.
[0011] Preferably, the limiting component includes a positioning pin fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mud receiving compartment, a limiting block sleeved on the positioning pin, and a locking nut threadedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning pin, wherein the locking nut is located on one side of the limiting block.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the material distribution plate has a through hole, and the material distribution plate is rotatably connected to the positioning rod through the through hole.
[0013] Preferably, the end of the material distribution plate that is rotatably connected to the positioning rod is the bottom end, and the end of the material distribution plate located between the support member and the limiting member is the high end, and the material distribution plate is inclined downward from the top port of the mud receiving car body.
[0014] Preferably, the included angle between the two inclined material distribution plates is an obtuse angle.
[0015] Preferably, the radius of the fan-shaped notch on the material distribution plate is one-half of the long side of the material distribution plate.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0017] In this invention, by using a distribution plate with a fan-shaped notch and designing it at an inclination, the distribution plate can guide the sludge to flow along the plate surface and evenly fill the front and rear ends of the sludge receiving compartment. This effectively avoids the situation where the sludge accumulates into a "mountain" in the compartment, eliminating the need for the driver to repeatedly start the vehicle to move and adjust its position. This significantly reduces energy consumption, while also reducing the driver's workload and improving the efficiency of sludge loading operations.
[0018] In this invention, the design of the tension spring allows the distribution plate to descend under the weight of the sludge. As the sludge slides down and the weight decreases, the tension spring can quickly push the distribution plate back to its original position. Thus, the repeated up-and-down vibration of the distribution plate, combined with the subsequent feeding of sludge, can effectively shake off the damp sludge adhering to the plate surface, avoiding local accumulation or flow deviation caused by sludge adhesion, and has certain practical value.

[0029] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0030] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0031] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a truck material distribution plate structure, including a sludge receiving compartment 1 located below the sludge discharge port at the bottom of the sludge bin. The inner wall of the sludge receiving compartment 1 is provided with two material distribution components 2 corresponding to the sludge discharge port at the bottom of the sludge bin. The two material distribution components 2 are respectively inclinedly arranged at the front end and the rear end of the sludge receiving compartment 1. Each material distribution component 2 includes a positioning rod 21 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sludge receiving compartment 1, a material distribution plate 22 rotatably connected to the positioning rod 21, and a support member 23 and a limiting member 24 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sludge receiving compartment 1. The end of the material distribution plate 22 away from the positioning rod 21 is arranged between the support member 23 and the limiting member 24. The support member 23 is provided with a reset component 3 for pushing the material distribution plate 22 to fit against the surface of the limiting member 24. The material distribution plate 22 is a rectangular plate with a fan-shaped notch 4, and the fan-shaped notches 4 on the two material distribution plates 22 are arranged diagonally.
[0032] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a through hole is provided at one end of the material distribution plate 22. The material distribution plate 22 is rotatably connected to the positioning rod 21 through the through hole. The end of the material distribution plate 22 rotatably connected to the positioning rod 21 is the bottom end, and the end of the material distribution plate 22 located between the support member 23 and the limiting member 24 is the high end. The material distribution plate 22 is inclined downward from the top port of the sludge receiving compartment 1. This inclined setting allows the sludge in the sludge bin to flow along the surface of the material distribution plate 22 to the front and rear ends of the sludge receiving compartment 1 and fill it evenly. This effectively avoids the situation where the sludge accumulates into a "mountain" in the compartment. At the same time, it eliminates the need for the driver to repeatedly start the vehicle to move and adjust the position, greatly reducing energy consumption and reducing the driver's workload, thus improving the efficiency of sludge loading operations.
[0033] Combination Figure 3 As shown, as a further step, the included inner angle of the two inclined distribution plates 22 is an obtuse angle. The angle of each distribution plate 22 from top to bottom is 30°-35°, and the included inner angle of the two distribution plates 22 is 110°-120°. This angle design not only ensures the smooth flow of sludge, but also ensures that the amount of sludge in the middle and front and rear ends of the sludge receiving compartment 1 is almost the same, ensuring the flatness of the sludge in the sludge receiving compartment 1 and reducing the situation of accumulating into "small mountains".
[0034] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, as a further step, the included angle between the two distribution plates 22 is variable; specifically, the distribution plate 22 can be attached to the limiting member 24 by the action of the reset component 3, and the included angle between the two distribution plates 22 is 110° at this time; while when the distribution plate 22 rotates downward under the gravity of the sludge and is attached to the support member 23, the included angle between the two distribution plates 22 is 120° at this time.
[0035] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, as a further step, the radius of the fan-shaped notch 4 on the material distribution plate 22 is half the length of the long side of the material distribution plate 22. Through this design, when the sludge in the sludge bin falls into the sludge receiving compartment 1, the sludge can be distributed in three directions in the sludge receiving compartment 1, thereby ensuring that the sludge in the sludge receiving compartment 1 can be distributed more evenly, reducing the number of times the driver has to repeatedly start the vehicle to move back and forth to adjust the position, and improving the efficiency of sludge loading operations.
[0036] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, as a further step, the support member 23 includes a support plate 231 located on the bottom surface of the material distribution plate 22 and several support blocks 232. The two ends of the support plate 231 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mud receiving compartment 1, and one end of the support block 232 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mud receiving compartment 1. The support plate 231 and the support block 232 are respectively inclined, and the top surface of the support plate 231 and the top surface of the several support blocks 232 are respectively on the same plane.
[0037] Specifically, by setting a support plate 231, the top of the material distribution plate 22 can be fully supported, while the multiple support blocks 232 are used to support the end of the material distribution plate 22 that is close to the inner wall of the mud receiving compartment 1, effectively limiting the range of motion of the material distribution plate 22 and ensuring the stability of the material distribution plate 22.
[0038] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, as a further step, the reset assembly 3 includes a plurality of positioning holes 31 through the support plate 231, a headless screw 32 threaded into the plurality of positioning holes 31 respectively, and a tension spring 33 disposed between the headless screw 32 and the distribution plate 22. The through thickness of the positioning holes 31 is greater than the length of the headless screw 32, and the bottom surface of the distribution plate 22 is provided with a positioning groove 5 corresponding to the positioning holes 31. The end of the tension spring 33 away from the headless screw 32 is disposed in the positioning groove 5.
[0039] Specifically, the inner wall of the positioning hole 31 has a threaded section and a smooth inner wall, and the headless screw 32 is used for threaded connection to the threaded section of the positioning hole 31. Thus, when the headless screw 32 is connected to the positioning hole 31, a groove is formed at the other end of the positioning hole 31; furthermore, when one end of the tension spring 33 is placed in the groove and the other end of the tension spring 33 is placed in the positioning groove 5, it can effectively limit the tension spring 33 and prevent the tension spring 33 from falling off.
[0040] Furthermore, when the tension spring 33 is deformed or loses its elasticity after long-term use, the headless screw 32 can be removed to make it easy for workers to replace the tension spring 33, saving time and effort.
[0041] It is worth noting that in this solution, the tension spring 33 cooperates with the material distribution plate 22 and the positioning rod 21. Because the rotation angle of the material distribution plate 22 is small, the tension spring 33 can push the material distribution plate 22 to rotate. For details, please refer to the structure and principle of the production line check valve in the prior art. This article will not elaborate on this further.
[0042] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, as a further step, multiple positioning holes 31 are equidistantly distributed along the length of the support plate 231. Each positioning hole 31 contains a headless screw 32 and a tension spring 33, ensuring that the multiple tension springs 33 can push the distribution plate 22 to reset. Since the sludge from the sludge bin falls intermittently and in varying amounts, when some sludge falls onto the distribution plate 22, it can instantly cause the distribution plate 22 to adhere to the support plate 231. Then, due to the force of the tension springs 33, the tension springs 33 can push the distribution plate 22 to adhere to the surface of the limiting member 24, causing the distribution plate 22 to vibrate up and down during sludge discharge. This effectively shakes off the damp sludge adhering to the plate surface, preventing localized accumulation or flow deviation caused by sludge adhesion.
[0043] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, as a further step, the limiting component 24 includes a positioning pin 241 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sludge receiving compartment 1, a limiting block 242 sleeved on the positioning pin 241, and a locking nut 243 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning pin 241, with the locking nut 243 located on one side of the limiting block 242. Specifically, by removing the locking nut 243, the limiting block 242 can be replaced, thereby enabling workers to replace the limiting block 242 according to the condition of the sludge, ensuring that the rotation angle of the distribution plate 22 can be adjusted. Specifically, the end of the limiting block 242 closest to the distribution plate 22 can be lengthened or shortened to increase or decrease the rotation angle of the distribution plate 22.
[0044] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the sludge truck is precisely positioned directly below the sludge discharge port of the sludge bin, ensuring that the two distribution plates 22 inside the sludge receiving compartment 1 are perfectly aligned with the sludge discharge port. Then, after starting the sludge discharge procedure, the sludge falls naturally from the discharge port. Part of the sludge falls directly into the sludge receiving compartment 1, while the other part falls onto the distribution plates 22. The inclined design of the distribution plates 22 guides the sludge to flow along the plate surface, evenly filling the front and rear ends of the sludge receiving compartment 1. This effectively prevents the sludge from piling up in the compartment, eliminating the need for the driver to repeatedly start and move the vehicle to adjust its position, significantly reducing energy consumption, alleviating the driver's workload, and improving the efficiency of sludge loading operations.
[0045] Furthermore, during the process of guiding the sludge flow on the surface of the distribution plate 22, the design of the tension spring 33 allows the distribution plate 22 to descend after being subjected to the weight of the sludge. As the sludge slides down and its weight decreases, the tension spring 33 can quickly push the distribution plate 22 to reset. In this way, the repeated up-and-down vibration of the distribution plate 22, combined with the subsequent feeding of sludge, can effectively shake off the wet sludge adhering to the plate surface, avoiding local accumulation or flow deviation caused by sludge adhesion.
[0046] It should be noted that the vibration of the distribution plate 22 in this solution does not need to be continuous. Since the distribution plate 22 can be tilted normally to achieve partial discharge of sludge, the sludge is inevitably partially damp. Therefore, when the damp sludge adheres to the distribution plate 22 in the early stage of falling, it is very easy to cause subsequent sludge accumulation and change the flow direction. With the help of the design of the reset component 3, the distribution plate 22 can be in a vibration state in the early stage to reduce the adhesion of sludge and ensure that the sludge is evenly distributed in the sludge receiving compartment 1.
[0047] It is worth noting that when initially feeding sludge, a small amount is usually added first and then gradually increased to avoid uneven loading. Therefore, the vibration of the distribution plate 22 in this solution is only used to guide the sludge in the early stage. When the sludge accumulates in the compartment to the positioning rod 21 and exceeds the positioning rod 21, the distribution plate 22 will not vibrate due to the weight of the sludge. Although the distribution plate 22 does not vibrate, it does not affect the sludge separation operation of this solution, because the vibration of the distribution plate 22 is only to solve the potential moisture problem. However, when our company regularly discharges the sludge silo, the amount of moisture will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the inclined design of the distribution plate 11 with the fan-shaped notch 4 can also meet the normal discharge cycle.
