Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a sludge drying device, specifically a sludge drying device for sludge treatment, and belongs to the field of sludge treatment technology. Background Technology

[0002] Sludge drying refers to the process of reducing the moisture content of sludge through physical or chemical methods, transforming it from a liquid or semi-solid state to a solid state. It is an indispensable part of wastewater treatment, reducing sludge volume and weight for easier transportation; killing pathogens, parasites, and bacteria in the sludge to reduce the risk of disease transmission; and stabilizing and rendering the sludge harmless. Dried sludge can be used as fuel or as raw material for fertilizers, building materials, and other products, realizing resource reuse. Sludge drying is of great significance in promoting environmental protection, resource recycling, urban sanitation improvement, and economic development.

[0003] A Chinese patent entitled "A Low-Temperature Sludge Drying System and Method" (publication number CN114751618A) discloses a low-temperature sludge drying technology. This technology uses compressed air as the air source, employing a vortex tube to convert normal compressed air into a cold air source (below -20℃) and a hot air source (not below 100℃). The air source is readily available, and the energy is clean, safe, and pollution-free. The sludge is first completely frozen by the cold air source, and then heated and preliminarily dewatered by the hot air source. The hot sludge then enters a plate and frame filter press heated by the hot air source for further dewatering. However, while this system boasts high energy utilization, high drying efficiency, and low cost with high returns, the various devices within the system are relatively independent, leading to a high overall system cost. Furthermore, the system cannot effectively recover the water vapor generated during the heating and dewatering process, posing a risk of environmental pollution.

[0004] A Chinese patent titled "A Dehumidification and Dewatering Device for Low-Temperature Drying of Sludge" (publication number CN215667687U) discloses a dehumidification and dewatering technology for low-temperature drying of sludge. An air compressor injects air into a vortex chamber through an outlet pipe. The vortex chamber discharges hot air through a hot air pipe and cold air through a cold air pipe, guiding it into a cooling ring. The hot air pipe then injects hot air into a heat dissipation plate through a conduit. The heat dissipates heat, dewatering the sludge on the plate. Water vapor from the sludge enters a recovery pipe along the shell. As the water vapor passes through the cooling ring, it liquefies and falls into a collection tank. However, while this device can utilize the cold air generated by the vortex chamber to recover water vapor, its overall structure is too simple, lacking sludge pretreatment, resulting in low drying efficiency and low water vapor recovery efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, a sludge drying device for sludge treatment is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0054] The water vapor recovery mechanism 9 is used to extract the water vapor generated by heating and drying the sludge, so that it forms a spiral airflow, and works with the used cold air in the lower conveyor frame 103 to liquefy the water vapor in the spiral airflow.

[0055] In one embodiment, the pre-dehydration mechanism 2 includes a filter cylinder 201, a first auger column 202, a conical cylinder 203, a cylindrical frame 204, and several breathable steel filter plates 205.

[0056] The filter cylinder 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the upper conveyor frame 102, the cylindrical frame 204 is fixedly connected to the other side of the inner wall of the upper conveyor frame 102, the conical cylinder 203 is connected between the filter cylinder 201 and the cylindrical frame 204, the first auger column 202 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filter cylinder 201, the conical cylinder 203 and the cylindrical frame 204, and several breathable steel filter plates 205 are installed on the inner wall of the cylindrical frame 204 near the conical cylinder 203.

Then, the sludge pushed out of the water filter cylinder 201 is introduced into the cylindrical frame 204 by the conical cylinder 203. The sludge pushed into the cylindrical frame 204 is blocked by the granulation mechanism 7, so that the sludge is collected on one side of the granulation mechanism 7 and squeezed. Then, the water squeezed out of the sludge is filtered by the set air-permeable steel filter plate 205, and the sludge particles carried in the water are intercepted so that the sludge is dewatered by squeezing.

When the pressure column 707 moves to one side of the extrusion hole 705, the dewatered sludge is squeezed out from the extrusion hole 705 by using pressure.

The vortex tube 503 then divides the airflow into two streams, one cold and one hot. The cold airflow from the cold end of the vortex tube 503 is directed to the pre-cooling chamber 804 via the cold air supply pipe 504, so that the cold airflow can absorb the heat of the cooling inner cylinder 802 and cool it down. Then, the hot airflow from the hot end of the vortex tube 503 is directed to the air distribution frame 506 via the heating pipe 505, so that the hot airflow can be evenly sprayed into the interior of the inner support 401 to preheat the interior of the inner support 401.

[0075] The output shaft of the third motor 604 drives the second auger column 605 to rotate. The rotating second auger column 605 pushes the sludge in the feed hopper 602 into the conveying pipe 603 and lifts it. Then, the sludge lifted in the conveying pipe 603 is discharged into the upper conveying frame 102 through the discharge pipe 606.

[0076] In one embodiment, the water vapor recovery mechanism 9 includes a recovery box 901, a conical recovery cylinder 902, a spiral frame 903, an exhaust filter 904, a steam transmission pipe 905, an exhaust fan 906, and a cooling pipe 907.

[0077] The recovery box 901 is installed on one side of the upper surface of the main frame 101. The conical recovery cylinder 902 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the recovery box 901. The spiral frame 903 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conical recovery cylinder 902. The exhaust filter 904 is installed on the middle of the inner wall of the conical recovery cylinder 902. The exhaust fan 906 is installed on one side of the inner support 401. One end of the steam pipe 905 is connected to the exhaust port of the exhaust fan 906. The other end of the steam pipe 905 passes through the inner wall of the recovery box 901 and is connected to the top of the outer wall of the conical recovery cylinder 902. One end of the cooling pipe 907 is connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the recovery box 901. The other end of the cooling pipe 907 is connected to the pre-cooling chamber 804.

[0078] A protective cover 911 is installed in the middle of the upper surface of the recycling bin 901. A vent pipe 912 is connected to the top side of the outer wall of the recycling bin 901. A skid-mounted base frame 913 is installed at the bottom of the main frame 101. A first wastewater pipe 914 is connected to one side of the upper conveyor frame 102. A second wastewater pipe 915 is connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the conical recycling cylinder 902. The other end of the second wastewater pipe 915 penetrates the outer wall of the recycling bin 901.

[0079] The water vapor in the inner support 401 is extracted by the exhaust fan 906 and injected into the conical recovery cylinder 902 through the steam pipe 905. Then, the water vapor forms a spiral airflow in the conical recovery cylinder 902 through the spiral frame 903 and the exhaust filter 904. The used cold air in the precooling chamber 804 is introduced into the recovery box 901 through the cooling pipe 907 to cool the conical recovery cylinder 902 so that the water vapor in the spiral airflow can come into contact with the conical recovery cylinder 902 and liquefy upon contact with the cold air.

[0080] In operation, the invention works as follows: The entire device is installed in the designated location according to actual needs. When sludge drying is required, firstly, high-pressure air is injected into the inlet of the vortex tube 503 via the air compressor 501 and air supply pipe 502. Then, the vortex tube 503 forces the incoming high-speed airflow tangentially into the vortex chamber, forming a free vortex. This creates friction between vortex layers with different angular velocities. The airflow at the center has the highest angular velocity. This friction transfers energy to the outer layers of airflow with lower angular velocities, causing the central layer to... The airflow temperature decreases, forming a cold airflow, while the outer airflow gains energy to form a hot airflow. Then, the cold airflow discharged from the cold end of the vortex tube 503 is guided to the pre-cooling chamber 804 through the cold air supply pipe 504, so that the cold airflow can absorb the heat of the cooling inner cylinder 802 and cool it down. Then, the hot airflow discharged from the hot end of the vortex tube 503 is guided to the air distribution pipe frame 506 through the heating pipe 505, so that the hot airflow can be evenly sprayed into the interior of the inner support 401 through the air distribution pipe frame 506 to preheat the interior of the inner support 401.

[0081] Once the cooling inner cylinder 802 has cooled down and the inner support 401 has been preheated, the sludge that needs to be dried is temporarily stored in the feeding hopper 602. Then, the output shaft of the third motor 604 drives the second auger column 605 to rotate. The rotating second auger column 605 pushes the sludge in the feeding hopper 602 into the conveying pipe 603 and lifts it. Then, the sludge lifted in the conveying pipe 603 is discharged into the upper conveying frame 102 through the discharge pipe 606 for sludge feeding.

[0082] After the feeding operation is completed, the output shaft of the reduction motor 301 drives the first pulley 302 to rotate. The rotating first pulley 302 drives the second pulley 303 to rotate via the first transmission belt 304. The rotating second pulley 303 drives the first auger column 202 and the second transmission belt 306 to move. The moving second transmission belt 306 drives the third pulley 305 to rotate. The rotating third pulley 305 drives the gear 307 to rotate via its toothed teeth. The rotating first auger column 202 pushes the sludge into the upper conveyor frame 102, and then the water in the sludge is initially filtered out by the filter cylinder 201. Then, the sludge pushed out of the filter cylinder 201 is guided into the cylindrical frame 204 by the conical cylinder 203. The sludge pushed into the cylindrical frame 204 is blocked by the pressure column 707, so that the sludge is collected on one side of the pressure column 707 and squeezed. Then, the water squeezed out of the sludge is filtered by the set air-permeable steel filter plate 205, and the sludge particles carried in the water are intercepted. In order to dewater the sludge by squeezing, the water content of the sludge is further reduced.

[0083] When the pressure at the bearing column 707 reaches the bearing limit of the spring 708, the bearing column 707 slides along the guide frame 706 under pressure, driving the spring 708 to compress. When the bearing column 707 moves to one side of the extrusion hole 705, the dewatered sludge is extruded from the extrusion hole 705 by using pressure. At the same time, the rotating first auger column 202 drives the scraper 704 to rotate through the disc frame 702. The rotating scraper 704 cuts the sludge strips extruded from the extrusion hole 705, forming... The sludge particles fall into the connecting frame 805 under the action of gravity. At the same time, the rotating gear 307 drives the third auger 801 to rotate. The rotating third auger 801 pushes the sludge particles falling from the connecting frame 805 into the cooling inner cylinder 802, so that the cooling inner cylinder 802 can quickly absorb the heat of the sludge particles and pre-freeze them. Then, the pre-frozen sludge particles in the cooling inner cylinder 802 are introduced into the main frame 101 and the inner support 401 through the set cloth hopper 803.

[0084] After the sludge particles enter the inner support 401, the output shaft of the second motor 404 drives the rotating roller 403 to rotate. The rotating roller 403 drives the conveyor belt 402 to rotate. The rotating conveyor belt 402 transports the sludge particles and uses staggered conveyor belts 402 with different directions of movement to reciprocate the sludge particles, thereby increasing the residence time of the sludge particles in the main frame 101. At the same time, the hot airflow discharged from the air distribution pipe frame 506 heats and dries the sludge particles, causing the residual moisture in the sludge particles to vaporize. Then, the dried sludge particles are discharged through the conveyor belt 402 located at the bottom of the inner support 401 for centralized collection.

[0085] When the sludge in the inner support 401 is heated and dried to generate water vapor, the water vapor in the inner support 401 is extracted by the exhaust fan 906 and injected into the conical recovery cylinder 902 through the steam pipe 905. Then, the spiral frame 903 and the exhaust filter 904 make the water vapor form a spiral airflow in the conical recovery cylinder 902, so that the water vapor in the airflow can fully contact the inner wall of the conical recovery cylinder 902 by using centrifugal force. At the same time, the used cold air in the precooling chamber 804 is introduced into the recovery box 901 through the cooling pipe 907. Under the premise of ensuring the normal flow of cold air in the precooling chamber 804, the used cold airflow absorbs the heat of the conical recovery cylinder 902 to cool the conical recovery cylinder 902 so that the water vapor in the airflow liquefies upon contact with the cold air. Then, the treated air in the conical recovery cylinder 902 is discharged through the exhaust filter 904.

[0086] The second wastewater pipe 915 is used to discharge the condensate collected at the bottom of the conical recovery cylinder 902. The air guide pipe 912 is used to export the used cold air in the recovery box 901. The first wastewater pipe 914 is used to export the sewage separated in the upper conveyor frame 102. The protective cover 911 is used to prevent rainwater from directly entering the interior of the exhaust filter cartridge 904. The skid-mounted base frame 913 is used to skid-mount the entire dryer box assembly 1, pre-dehydration mechanism 2, drive mechanism 3, dryer conveying mechanism 4, air-type dryer mechanism 5, granulation mechanism 7, pre-cooling conveying mechanism 8, and water vapor recovery mechanism 9. The side bracket 601 is used to skid-mount the entire feeding mechanism 6, making the entire device easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0087] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these should all be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
