Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically, to a sludge removal device and method for wastewater treatment. Background Technology
[0002] Wastewater treatment is the process of purifying wastewater to meet the water quality requirements for discharge into a water body or for reuse. Wastewater treatment is widely used in various fields such as construction, agriculture, transportation, energy, petrochemicals, environmental protection, urban landscaping, medical care, and catering, and is increasingly becoming a part of the daily lives of ordinary people.
[0003] Based on the source of wastewater, wastewater treatment is generally divided into industrial wastewater treatment and domestic wastewater treatment. Industrial wastewater includes industrial wastewater, agricultural wastewater, and medical wastewater, while domestic wastewater is wastewater generated in daily life. It refers to a complex mixture of various forms of inorganic and organic matter, including: ① floating and suspended solid particles of various sizes; ② colloidal and gel-like diffuses; ③ pure solutions.
[0004] In various types of wastewater treatment processes, sludge sedimentation and sludge discharge are generally involved. Currently, sludge discharge is mostly achieved by pumping or draining water for treatment. However, neither method is very efficient. The former is prone to mixing with liquid, while the latter is prone to carrying out sludge. A sludge discharge device and method that can continuously and efficiently treat wastewater is needed to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The sludge discharge device for wastewater treatment according to the present invention wherein the edge of the extrusion frame is connected to the inner wall of the treatment container by multiple elastic bands.
[0014] A sludge removal method for wastewater treatment, applied to the sludge removal device for wastewater treatment as described above, is implemented as follows:
[0015] In the initial state, the counterweight column is located at the lower end of the fixed sleeve and blocks the mud discharge opening, and the movable plate is in the open state;
[0016] The sludge settles through multiple slots. When the sludge in the treatment container passes the extrusion frame and reaches the set depth, the drive unit drives multiple movable plates to move synchronously to close the corresponding slots. The inflation and deflation unit inflates the float. The float is gradually pulled upward by the buoyancy of the water in the treatment container to open the sludge discharge hole.

When the sludge in the treatment container passes over the extrusion frame and reaches a set depth, the drive unit drives multiple movable plates to move synchronously to close the corresponding slots. The inflation / deflation unit inflates the float, and the float, under the buoyancy of the water in the treatment container, gradually pulls the counterweight column upward to open the sludge discharge opening. At the same time, the upward movement of the counterweight column will drive the movable sleeve to move downward synchronously, thereby driving the extrusion frame to move downward to extrude the sludge below. The extruded sludge is discharged through the sludge discharge opening and the sludge discharge hole. After the sludge discharge operation is completed, the inflation / deflation unit deflates the float, the counterweight column gradually moves downward to reset, driving the movable sleeve to move upward synchronously, the extrusion frame to reset, and the drive unit drives multiple movable plates to reset and open the slots.
[0019] By using the method of this application, the upper layer of sludge is used for water isolation, which makes it easier to partially discharge the lower layer of sludge. The discharge is driven by the buoyancy of the internal water on the float, resulting in good energy-saving sludge discharge and minimal impact on continuous wastewater treatment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0025] A preferred embodiment of the sludge removal device for wastewater treatment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, see also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The device includes a processing container 1, with a sludge discharge hole 10 at the bottom of the container. A fixed sleeve 11 passes through the sludge discharge hole 10, and a counterweight column 2 is slidably disposed within the fixed sleeve 11. A float 20 is disposed at the upper end of the counterweight column 2, and a sludge discharge opening 12 is disposed on the side surface of the lower end of the fixed sleeve 11. A movable sleeve 13 is fitted onto the fixed sleeve 11. A compression frame 3 is horizontally disposed inside the processing container 1, and the size of the compression frame 3 matches the size of the processing container 1. The compression frame 3 is provided with multiple slots 30 and multiple movable pieces 31 that open and close the slots one by one. The movable sleeve 13 is fixedly disposed in the center of the compression frame 3. The movable sleeve 13 is connected to the counterweight column 2 through a linkage component 4, and the counterweight column 2 and the movable sleeve 13 move in opposite directions when they move in linkage. The device also includes an air inflation / deflation unit for inflating and deflation of the float and a drive unit 5 for driving the multiple movable pieces 31 to move synchronously.
[0026] In the initial state, the counterweight column 2 is located at the lower end of the fixed sleeve 11 and blocks the sludge discharge opening 12, and the movable piece 31 is in the open state. The sludge passes through multiple slots 30 for sedimentation. When the sludge in the treatment container 1 passes the extrusion frame 3 and reaches the set depth, the drive unit 5 drives multiple movable pieces 31 to move synchronously to close the corresponding slots 30. The inflation and deflation unit inflates the float 20. The float 20 is gradually pulled upward by the buoyancy of the water in the treatment container 1 to open the sludge discharge opening 12. At the same time, the upward movement of the counterweight column 2 will drive the movable sleeve 13 to move downward synchronously, thereby driving the extrusion frame 3 to move downward to extrude the sludge below. The extruded sludge is discharged through the sludge discharge opening 12 and the sludge discharge hole 10. After the sludge discharge operation is completed, the inflation and deflation unit deflates the float 20, the counterweight column 2 gradually moves downward to reset, drives the movable sleeve 13 to move upward synchronously, the extrusion frame 3 resets, and the drive unit 5 drives multiple movable pieces 31 to reset and open the slots. Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, 6 is the water layer and 7 is the sludge layer;
[0027] By using the method of this application, the upper layer of sludge is used for water isolation, which makes it easier to partially discharge the lower layer of sludge. The discharge is driven by the buoyancy of the internal water on the float, resulting in good energy-saving sludge discharge and minimal impact on continuous wastewater treatment.
[0028] Preferably, multiple slots 30 on the extrusion frame 3 are arranged horizontally side by side; the movable piece 31 is rotatably disposed in the slot 30 via a rotating shaft 32; the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the extrusion frame 3, and a drive gear 33 is coaxially fixed on the rotating shaft 32, with multiple drive gears 33 arranged in a straight line; the drive unit 5 includes a rack 50 and a transverse moving component 51 for driving the rack to move laterally, with multiple drive gears 33 meshing with the rack 50; the structure is reasonable and compact, with good drive reliability and convenient for synchronous control.

The adjusting wheel 511 is located outside the processing container 1, and the adjusting wheel 511 is coaxially fixedly connected to the adjusting rod 510. Using a principle similar to a lead screw, the adjusting wheel 511 is rotated manually or electrically, which drives the adjusting rod 510 to rotate, thereby driving the internal threaded sleeve 513 to move laterally, which in turn drives the guide sleeve 514 to move laterally, and thus drives the rack 50 to move laterally. The rack 50 will not shift or loosen, and the drive reliability is good.
[0030] Preferably, the linkage component 4 includes a gear frame 40 installed on the upper end of the fixed sleeve 11.

[0031] Preferably, the edge of the extrusion frame 3 is connected to the inner wall of the processing container 1 by multiple elastic bands 34 to facilitate the repositioning of the extrusion frame 3.
[0032] A sludge removal method for wastewater treatment, applied to the sludge removal device for wastewater treatment as described above, is implemented as follows:
[0033] In the initial state, the counterweight column is located at the lower end of the fixed sleeve and blocks the mud discharge opening, and the movable plate is in the open state;
[0034] The sludge settles through multiple slots. When the sludge in the treatment container passes the extrusion frame and reaches the set depth, the drive unit drives multiple movable plates to move synchronously to close the corresponding slots. The inflation and deflation unit inflates the float. The float is gradually pulled upward by the buoyancy of the water in the treatment container to open the sludge discharge hole. At the same time, the upward movement of the counterweight column will drive the movable sleeve to move downward synchronously, which in turn drives the extrusion frame to move downward to squeeze the sludge below. The squeezed sludge is discharged through the sludge discharge hole and the sludge discharge port.

[0036] By using the method of this application, the upper layer of sludge is used for water isolation, which makes it easier to partially discharge the lower layer of sludge. The discharge is driven by the buoyancy of the internal water on the float, resulting in good energy-saving sludge discharge and minimal impact on continuous wastewater treatment.
