AI Technical Summary
The main shaft of the sludge scraper is prone to damage due to overload when it encounters significant resistance, and existing protection devices cannot effectively prevent damage caused by excessive main shaft torque.
The sludge scraper's main shaft is designed as a two-section structure, and an automatic disconnection mechanism automatically disconnects the transmission connection between the upper and lower main shafts when the torque is too high, preventing the upper main shaft from driving the lower main shaft to rotate and achieving idling protection.
This effectively prevents damage to the main shaft due to excessive torque, improving the reliability and service life of the sludge scraper.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application mainly relates to the technical field of sewage treatment equipment, and particularly relates to a protection mechanism of a mud scraper of a sedimentation tank. BACKGROUND
[0002] The main function of the mud scraper is to collect and discharge the sludge deposited at the bottom of the tank, so as to return or concentrate the sludge for dewatering. The mud scraper has a relatively simple structure and is generally composed of a working bridge for walking, a transmission mechanism with a motor as a power output device, a mud scraper main shaft connected with the transmission mechanism, a mud scraping plate connected with the lower end of the mud scraper main shaft, and a scum collecting mechanism.
[0003] During intermittent production shutdown or equipment maintenance, the sludge in the mud collecting tank will naturally accumulate and deposit. After the production is resumed, the mud scraper is started, and the mud scraping plate will be subjected to a relatively large resistance from the accumulated sludge at the initial stage of operation. In the traditional equipment manufacturing, only a thermal relay is arranged in the motor control loop to protect the front-end driving device. The operation control of the mud scraper is to control the start and stop of the equipment by the frequency converter, to set the overcurrent and overload protection values by integrating the rated parameters of the mud scraper motor through parameter setting of the frequency converter, and to enhance the service life of the equipment by avoiding the mechanical damage such as slipping and chain falling off and abrasion through the mechanical tensioning device to make the chain have appropriate tension during transmission, so as to effectively protect the front-end driving device.
[0004] However, when the mud scraper main shaft and the mud scraping plate are working, the resistance encountered by the equipment during rotation will be greatly increased with the increase or dry deposit of the sludge in the mud tank. When the motor driving device drives the mud scraper main shaft to rotate, if the torque of the mud scraper main shaft cannot overcome the resistance of the sludge, the motor and the transmission mechanism will still forcibly drive the mud scraper main shaft to rotate. At this time, the mud scraper main shaft will be subjected to excessive torque, which is easy to cause damage such as bending or breaking of the mud scraper main shaft, resulting in irreparable damage. Therefore, on the basis of the traditional control mode of the original mud scraper equipment, a protection device needs to be further added. SUMMARY

It is simple to operate and easy to use.
[0036] The device can prevent the power device connected with the main shaft 1 from being overloaded, and can greatly improve the reliability of the device.
