Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment, and particularly relates to an assembled mud bucket for a vertical flow sedimentation tank and an assembly method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Vertical flow sedimentation tanks are typically designed in a circular or square configuration. During operation, wastewater enters the tank through a central pipe inlet. It is then guided by reflective panels, evenly distributed across the surrounding horizontal sections, and slowly flows upward. If the settling rate of suspended particles exceeds the rising speed of the water, they sink into the sludge hopper, while the supernatant overflows through the weirs around the top of the tank.

[0003] The tank body and mud hopper of the existing detachable vertical flow sedimentation tank are usually connected by bolts. Since the mud hopper may become clogged, cleaning the mud hopper is a key operation to ensure sedimentation efficiency. When cleaning the mud hopper, it is necessary to remove the bolts to remove the mud hopper from the bottom of the tank body. The whole process is very troublesome and affects the cleaning efficiency.

The upper sealing shell is connected to the pool body, and the lower sealing shell is connected to the main body of the mud hopper. The moving component drives the sealing strip to move up and down inside the shell.

[0014] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the moving component includes a limiting plate, a limiting column and an elastic member. There are two groups of limiting plates, and the two groups of limiting plates are respectively located between the main body of the mud hopper and the two moving plates. The end of the rotating shaft away from the sliding block is fixedly connected to the limiting plate. The limiting column is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing strip. A first limiting groove and a second limiting groove are formed on the surface of the limiting plate. The first limiting groove is correspondingly arranged with the fixed column. The limiting column slides inside the second limiting groove. A control groove is formed on the surface of the mounting frame. The end of the limiting column away from the sealing strip penetrates through the control groove and extends into the second limiting groove. The second limiting groove is inclined.

[0030] The present application is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technicians in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The partial structure shown is an assembled mud hopper for a vertical flow sedimentation tank, comprising a mud hopper body 1, which is detachably connected to the bottom of the sedimentation tank body 2, a mounting frame 3 is provided on one side of the mud hopper body 1, the tank body 2 is connected to the mounting frame 3, and a driving mechanism is provided on both sides of the mud hopper body 1;

[0033] The driving mechanism includes a linear driving component 4 and a tilting component 5. The linear driving component 4 drives the mud bucket body 1 away from the pool body 2, and the tilting component 5 tilts the mud bucket body 1 away from the pool body 2.

[0034] The tilting assembly 5 includes a movable plate 51, a sliding block 52, and two sets of fixed columns 53. A sliding groove 54 is provided on the surface of the movable plate 51, and the sliding block 52 slides up and down inside the sliding groove 54. A rotating shaft 55 is provided on the mud bucket body 1, and the rotating shaft 55 is rotatably connected to the sliding block 52. A sliding groove 56 is provided on the surface of the mounting frame 3. The ends of the two sets of fixed columns 53 away from the mud bucket body 1 both penetrate the sliding groove 56 and slide inside the sliding groove 56.

[0035] The sliding groove 56 includes a straight section 561 and an inclined section 562. The inclined section 562 is connected to the end of the straight section 561 away from the pool body 2. When the fixed column 53 moves to the inclined section 562, the sliding block 52 moves downward along the inside of the sliding groove 54, causing the mud bucket body 1 to tilt.

[0036] In actual use, the linear drive component 4 first drives the mud bucket body 1 away from the pool body 2. When the mud bucket body 1 completely leaves the bottom of the pool body 2, the linear drive component 4 continues to drive the mud bucket body 1 away from the pool body 2. However, at this time, the fixed column 53 on the side away from the pool body 2 will move to the inclined section 562 of the sliding groove 56. At the same time, with the cooperation of the sliding groove 54 and the sliding block 52, the mud bucket body 1 is tilted, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the silt inside the mud bucket body 1.

[0037] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in the partial structure, the linear drive assembly 4 includes a driving member 41, a slide rail 42 and a roller 43. The roller 43 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the movable plate 51, and the roller 43 rolls along the inside of the slide rail 42. The driving member 41 is connected to the slide rail 42, and the movable plate 51 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the driving member 41.

[0038] In actual use, the driving member 41 drives the movable plate 51 to move in a straight line, causing the roller 43 to roll along the slide rail 42 and simultaneously driving the mud bucket body 1 to move.

[0039] It should be noted that the driving member 41 can be any mechanical structure that can drive the movable plate 51 to move linearly, and specifically, can be a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, an oil cylinder, etc.

[0040] refer to Figure 5 In the partial structure shown, a sealing assembly 6 is provided on the mud bucket body 1 . The sealing assembly 6 includes at least a sealing strip 61 . The sealing strip 61 is arranged around the connection between the pool body 2 and the mud bucket body 1 .

[0041] Furthermore, a moving component 7 is provided on the mud bucket body 1 , and the moving component 7 moves the sealing strip 61 away from the pool body 2 .

[0042] It should be noted that the sealing strip 61 is provided to prevent water leakage at the connection between the hopper body 1 and the pool body 2, but the sealing strip 61 will block the movement of the hopper body 1. Therefore, a moving component 7 is provided so that before the hopper body 1 moves, the moving component 7 will drive the sealing strip 61 to move downward and follow the movement of the hopper body 1.

[0043] Furthermore, the sealing assembly 6 also includes an upper sealing shell 62 and a lower sealing shell 63. The lower end surface of the upper sealing shell 62 and the upper end surface of the lower sealing shell 63 are in contact to form a complete shell. The shell cover is arranged on the outside of the sealing strip 61. The upper sealing shell 62 is connected to the pool body 2, and the lower sealing shell 63 is connected to the mud bucket body 1. The moving assembly 7 drives the sealing strip 61 to move up and down along the inside of the shell.

[0044] It should be noted that the moving assembly 7 will drive the sealing strip 61 to move completely into the lower sealing shell 63 , so that the sealing strip 61 moves along with the mud bucket body 1 .

[0045] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the partial structure, the moving assembly 7 includes a limiting plate 71, a limiting column 72 and an elastic member 73. There are two groups of limiting plates 71, and the two groups of limiting plates 71 are respectively located between the mud bucket body 1 and the two groups of moving plates 51. The end of the rotating shaft 55 away from the sliding block 52 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 71, and the limiting column 72 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing strip 61. The surface of the limiting plate 71 is provided with a limiting groove 1 74 and a limiting groove 2 75. The limiting groove 1 74 is arranged corresponding to the fixed column 53. The limiting column 72 slides inside the limiting groove 2 75. The surface of the mounting frame 3 is provided with a control groove 76. The end of the limiting column 72 away from the sealing strip 61 passes through the control groove 76 and extends into the limiting groove 2 75. The limiting groove 2 75 is arranged at an angle, and the elastic member 73 is on one side of the fixed column 53.

[0046] Furthermore, a notch is formed on the surface of the housing, and one end of the limiting column 72 away from the sealing strip 61 extends from the notch to the outside of the housing.

[0047] It should be noted that the limiting groove 74 is arranged horizontally.

[0048] Furthermore, the control groove 76 includes a vertical section 761, a horizontal section 762 and an inclined section 763. The horizontal section 762 is connected to the lower end of the vertical section 761, and the inclined section 763 is connected to the end of the horizontal section 762 away from the vertical section 761. When the linear drive assembly 4 drives the movable plate 51 to move, the limiting column 72 cooperates with the vertical section 761 of the control groove 76 and the limiting groove 2 75 to move the sealing strip 61 downward.

[0049] It should be noted that the horizontal segment 762 is parallel to the straight segment 561 , and the inclined segment 562 is parallel to the oblique segment 763 .

[0050] In the initial state, the limiting column 72 and the fixed column 53 are respectively located on the same side of the limiting groove 2 75 and the limiting groove 1 74. In actual use, the driving member 41 drives the movable plate 51 to move, which will first drive the limiting plate 71 to move, so that the other side of the limiting groove 1 74 and the limiting groove 2 75 contacts the fixed column 53 and the limiting column 72. During this process, the mud bucket body 1 does not move. With the cooperation of the limiting column 72, the vertical section 761 of the control groove 76 and the limiting groove 2 75, the sealing strip 61 will move down to the lower sealing shell 63, and then the movable plate 51 continues to drive the limiting plate 71 to move, which will then drive the mud bucket body 1 to move.

[0051] Furthermore, the elastic member 73 is an elastic sheet, which is arranged in the shape of a "J" character. One end of the elastic sheet is connected to a side of the limiting plate 71 close to the limiting groove 74, and the other end abuts against the surface of the fixing column 53.

[0052] In the initial state, the elastic member 73 is in an energy storage state. The provision of the elastic member 73 can ensure that the sealing strip 61 is always located in the lower sealing shell 63 when the bucket body 1 moves from the tilted state to the initial state.

[0053] In other embodiments, the elastic member 73 may also be directly configured as a spring. Specifically, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 71 close to the limiting groove 2 75 , and the other end abuts against the surface of the fixing column 53 .

[0054] Example 2

[0055] A method for assembling an assembled mud bucket for a vertical flow sedimentation tank, which is applied to the assembled mud bucket for a vertical flow sedimentation tank in Example 1, comprises the following steps:

[0056] S1. Start the driving member to drive the movable plate to move, and the vertical section of the limiting groove cooperates with the control groove to drive the sealing strip of the limiting column to move into the lower sealing shell;

[0057] S2, the driving member continues to drive the movable plate to move, and the limiting plate drives the fixed column to slide along the straight section of the sliding groove;

[0058] S3. When the hopper body is completely moved out from under the pool body, the fixed column on the side away from the pool body moves to the inclined section of the sliding groove, the hopper tilts, and the driving member stops, and the interior of the hopper body begins to be cleaned;

[0059] S4. After cleaning, start the driving part again to move the mud bucket body to its original position to complete the assembly.

[0060] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and all such variations and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
