[0031] Example 1

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first embodiment of the present invention provides a sludge thickening tank discharge device, comprising:

[0033] The main structure 100 includes a sludge thickening tank 101, a bridge 102 adapted to be installed at the top of the sludge thickening tank 101, a sewage outlet 103 opened inside the sludge thickening tank 101, and a sludge scraping component 104 adapted to be installed inside the sludge thickening tank 101.

[0034] The cleaning mechanism 200 includes a mounting component 201 adapted to be installed on the outside of the scraper component 104, an auxiliary component 202 adapted to be installed on the outside of the mounting component 201, and a power component 203 adapted to be installed on the outside of the scraper component 104.

[0035] Specifically, the mud scraper 104 includes a central shaft 104a adapted to be installed on the outside of the bridge 102, and a low rod 104b fixedly connected to the outside of the central shaft 104a.

[0036] Furthermore, the sludge scraper 104 also includes a crossbar 104c fixedly connected to the outside of the lower bar 104b, and a high bar 104d fixedly connected to the outside of the crossbar 104c.

[0037] When sludge scraping is required, the operator can activate the control system to rotate the central shaft 104a, which in turn drives the lower rod 104b to rotate, thus completing the sludge scraping work through the rotational motion.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that it provides the working process of the cleaning mechanism 200.

[0040] Furthermore, the mounting component 201 includes a mounting ring 201a fixedly connected to the outside of the central shaft 104a, and a connecting rod 201b fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting ring 201a.

[0041] Furthermore, the mounting component 201 also includes a side beam 201c fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 201b, and a cylinder 201d fixedly connected to the outside of the side beam 201c.

[0042] Specifically, the mounting component 201 also includes a high-pressure water gun 201e rotatably connected to the outside of the cylinder 201d, and a limiting post 201f fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 201b.

[0043] More specifically, the auxiliary component 202 includes a ring 202a disposed at the top of the connecting rod 201b, and a limiting groove 202b formed inside the ring 202a;

[0044] The limiting post 201f is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 202b.

[0045] In addition, the auxiliary component 202 also includes an arc groove 202c formed inside the ring 202a, and a connecting rope 202d disposed inside the ring 202a;

[0046] One end of the connecting rope 202d is fixedly connected to the inside of the ring 202a, and the other end of the connecting rope 202d is fixedly connected to the outside of the high-pressure water gun 201e.

[0047] The power unit 203 includes an upper mounting plate 203a fixedly connected to the outside of the central shaft 104a, and a lower mounting plate 203b fixedly connected to the outside of the central shaft 104a.

[0048] Finally, the power unit 203 also includes a motor 203c adapted to be installed between the upper mounting plate 203a and the lower mounting plate 203b, and a lever 203d fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 203c.

[0049] If the sludge at the bottom of the sludge thickening tank 101 becomes compacted due to lack of sludge scraping for a long time, the sludge scraper 104 is prone to breakage if it is directly started to scrape the sludge.

[0050] At this time, a water pipe can be connected to the top of the high-pressure water gun 201e to spray water under high pressure, and the motor 203c can be started during the water spraying process.

[0051] During the process of the motor 203c driving the lever 203d to rotate, when the lever 203d rotates into the arc groove 202c, it will drive the ring 202a to rotate. Since the rotation of the lever 203d and the rotation of the ring 202a are not coaxial, after the lever 203d rotates a certain angle, it will disengage from the arc groove 202c. At this time, the lever 203d will no longer drive the ring 202a to rotate.

[0052] During the above-mentioned movement, the rotation of the ring 202a will drive the high-pressure water gun 201e to rotate through the connecting rope 202d, thereby changing the spray nozzle of the high-pressure water gun 201e from vertically downward to gradually spreading outward, thus spraying the sludge at the bottom of the sludge thickening tank 101 that is far from the sewage outlet 103.

[0053] The high-pressure water gun 201e is rotatably connected to the cylinder 201d. In order to allow the high-pressure water gun 201e to rotate in the opposite direction to the vertical position when the lever 203d disengages from the ring 202a, a torsion spring can be installed at the connection position between the high-pressure water gun 201e and the cylinder 201d, or a counterweight can be installed at the bottom of the high-pressure water gun 201e.

[0054] When the high-pressure water gun 201e reverses from the tilted position to the vertical position, the connecting rope 202d will drive the ring 202a to reverse back to the initial position. When the motor 203c drives the lever 203d to rotate one revolution, the lever 203d re-enters the arc groove 202c and drives the ring 202a to rotate, thus repeating the above operation.

[0055] During this process, the compacted sludge can be broken up by rinsing with the high-pressure water gun 201e. The rinsing angle can be adjusted by rotating the high-pressure water gun 201e, thereby rinsing a larger area of ​​sludge. After the sludge is broken up, rinsing can be stopped and the water pipe installed at the top of the high-pressure water gun 201e can be removed. Then, the sludge scraping component 104 can be started normally to scrape the sludge. After the compacted sludge is broken up and moistened, its reaction force on the sludge scraper will be greatly reduced, thereby ensuring that the scraper plate will not break.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the second embodiment in that it provides additional effects of the cleaning mechanism 200.

[0058] It is worth noting that because the bottom of the sludge thickening tank 101 is funnel-shaped, the sludge deposited in the more central position is thicker, while the sludge deposited in the position further away from the center is thinner. Therefore, the thicker sludge in the center of the sludge thickening tank 101 is more difficult to disperse.

[0059] In this device, the solution to this problem is to install a high-pressure water gun 201e directly above the center of the sludge thickening tank 101, thereby ensuring that the high-pressure water gun 201e is closer to the thicker sludge, and the thicker sludge is subjected to a greater impact force from the water flow, making it easier to disperse.

[0060] In addition, due to the uncertainty of factors such as the drainage speed of the sewage outlet 103, the blockage of the sewage outlet 103, and the water output of the high-pressure water gun 201e, it is easy for the high-pressure water gun 201e to output too much water, and the sewage outlet 103 cannot be emptied immediately. Therefore, when the high-pressure water gun 201e is continuously outputting water, water is likely to accumulate in the center of the sludge thickening tank 101.

[0061] If the water gradually increases and covers the hardened sludge, when the high-pressure water gun 201e washes the sludge, the high-pressure water jet needs to pass through the water first to reach the sludge. During the process of the high-pressure water jet passing through the water, its impact force will be greatly weakened, which can easily cause the sludge to fail to be dispersed.

[0062] To solve the above problems, the high-pressure water gun 201e of this device is initially positioned vertically. Therefore, when the high-pressure water gun 201e sprays water, it first washes the thicker sludge in the center of the sludge thickening tank 101, and then gradually spreads to the surrounding area, thereby ensuring that the thicker sludge in the center of the sludge thickening tank 101 is effectively washed away.

[0063] In summary, through the cooperation of the mounting component 201, the auxiliary component 202, and the power component 203, the sludge can be dispersed by the high-pressure water gun 201e, thereby preventing damage to the sludge scraping component 104 during operation. Furthermore, the high-pressure water gun 201e can be rotated by the rotation of the motor 203c, thereby allowing for the flushing of a larger area of ​​sludge.
