DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to further understand the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the examples, but it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of the present application, but not for limiting the present application.

[0018] The drum-shaped rotary filter driving device of the present application can flush the rack of the drum-shaped filter, and prolong the service life of the drum-shaped filter through regular lubrication and seamless replacement of the transmission gears.

[0019] The embodiments of the present application disclose a drum-shaped rotary filter driving device, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , comprising a gear replacement module, a water flow flushing module and a lubricating module. The gear replacement module comprises: The transmission shaft 20 is connected with the power output gear 4, and the transmission shaft 20 is connected with the power mechanism 12. The power mechanism 12 is distributed at 90 degrees with the base 18.

[0020] In order to replace the transmission gears, the control of the gear disc should adopt a high-power chain transmission mechanism to adapt to the huge load between the drum-shaped filter rack 6 and the transmission gears.

[0021] The power output gear 4 is simultaneously engaged with the first transmission gear 3 and the second transmission gear 7 to provide power for both; the power output gear 4 is a driving gear and is the power source of the gear replacement module; the first transmission gear 3 and the second transmission gear 7 are driven gears. The material of the power output gear 4 in the device is high-strength wear-resistant metal, which can be selected as 42CrMo and is treated by quenching and tempering and surface nitriding. Since the transmission ratio of the power output gear 4 and the drum-shaped filter rack 6 is extremely high, the use of the same material as the rack will also cause great wear, so a metal with extremely high wear resistance is selected as the material of the power output gear 4. The first transmission gear 3, the second transmission gear 7 and the power output gear 4 are all installed on the gear disc 5; when the gear disc 5 rotates, the relative positions between the first transmission gear 3 and the second transmission gear 7 also change. Figure 3As shown, two shafts are arranged outside the gear disc 5, and the first transmission gear 3 and the second transmission gear 7 are installed on the corresponding shafts and are in sliding connection with the shafts.

[0022] The power output gear 4 is fixedly installed on the transmission shaft 20, and the gear disc 5 is in sliding connection with the transmission shaft 20. The transmission shaft 20 drives the power output gear 4 to rotate. Since the first transmission gear 3 and the second transmission gear 7 are both in meshing connection with the power output gear 4, both of them also rotate to drive the drum filter screen rack 6 to rotate.

[0023] The gear disc 5 is a half gear, which only needs to act once in a period of service to switch the meshing connection between the first transmission gear 3 and the drum filter screen rack 6 to the meshing connection between the second transmission gear 7 and the drum filter screen rack 6. The rotation angle of the action is 120°.

[0024] The replacement control gear 8 and the chain disc 10 are fixed on the base 18, and the chain shell 9 covers the chain disc 10 to prevent water vapor, dust and dirt from accumulating on the chain disc 10. At the same time, the chain disc 10 provides power for the rotation of the replacement control gear 8, and the two are connected through a transmission chain.

[0025] The replacement control gear 8 provides power for the gear disc 5 to rotate; The laser sensor 16 is arranged in the gap between the first transmission gear 3 and the second transmission gear 7 to monitor the state of the first transmission gear 3 and the second transmission gear 7. The laser sensor 16 is preferably a planar array laser radar, which detects the outline of the first transmission gear 3 and the second transmission gear 7 to obtain three-dimensional data of the gear profile. The three-dimensional data of the in-service state of the obtained gear is overlapped and compared with the data of the original profile of the gear to obtain the wear information of the gear. The control unit receives the wear information, and when the wear exceeds the set threshold, triggers the replacement of the transmission gear.

[0026] Specifically, at the initial service, the first transmission gear 3 is first in meshing connection with the drum filter screen rack 6 to drive the drum screen to rotate. As the service time increases, when the first transmission gear 3 is worn to the boundary that does not meet the requirements, the laser sensor 16 monitors and sends a signal for preliminary replacement, and waits for the drum screen to switch to the low-speed operation mode. If it is already in the low-speed operation mode, there is no need to wait. In the low-speed operation mode, the replacement control gear 8 drives the gear disc 5 to rotate, so that the second transmission gear 7 is in meshing connection with the drum filter screen rack 6. After the meshing connection is completed, the power mechanism 12 starts to drive the drum screen again through the second transmission gear 7, thereby completing the process of replacing the transmission gear.

[0027] Preferably, the replacement procedure is triggered when the tooth thickness of more than 20% of the teeth is worn by more than 5 mm.

[0028] The water flow flushing module, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes: a water pipe 2, which is mounted above the drum filter rack 6; The end of the water pipe 2 is provided with a high-pressure nozzle 1, which sprays water in a direction perpendicular to the drum filter rack 6 to reduce the sediment on the surface of the drum filter rack, indirectly reducing the wear of the transmission gear and improving its service life; The connection between the high-pressure nozzle 1 and the water pipe 2 is provided with an angle adjustment unit for adjusting the angle between the high-pressure nozzle 1 and the drum filter rack 6; The angle adjustment unit includes an upward angle adjustment bolt and a downward angle adjustment bolt; An upper elevation angle adjustment bolt and a lower depression angle adjustment bolt are respectively provided on the end surface of the water pipe, and a high-pressure nozzle is provided between the two; When the high-pressure nozzle needs to be deflected downward, loosen the upper elevation angle adjustment bolt, and then tighten the lower elevation angle adjustment bolt to the appropriate depth. When the high-pressure nozzle angle is appropriate, tighten the upper elevation angle adjustment bolt, and vice versa.

[0029] This allows for directional flushing of the rack and facilitates adjustment during installation.

[0030] The water pump 11 is mounted on the side of the base 18 on the ground and is connected to the water pipe bracket 19. The water pipe 2 is made of rigid 304 austenitic stainless steel and is drawn from the outlet of the water pump 11, passes through the water pipe bracket 19 and extends to the top of the drum filter rack 6.

[0031] The water pump 11 is connected to the domestic drinking water system of the power plant, extracts the filtered and settled clean water in the domestic drinking water system, and transports it to the water pipe bracket 19, and enters the high-pressure nozzle 1 along the water pipe 2.

[0032] The lubrication module includes: a lubricating oil nozzle, an oil tank, and an air pressure valve; The lubricating oil nozzle 14 is set in the middle of the gap between the first transmission gear 3 and the power output gear 4, and the distance from the outermost circle of the two gear contours is controlled between 1-2 cm. Since the angle of the lubricating oil nozzle 14 is relatively fixed to the gear plate 5, the lubricating oil can be applied even after the gear is replaced; The lubricating oil nozzle 14 is connected to the oil tank 21; The oil tank 21 is provided with an air pressure valve 22, which pressurizes the oil tank 21 so that the lubricating oil nozzle 14 can squeeze out the lubricating oil; The oil tank 21 is provided on the chain case 9 .

[0033] The control unit receives the gear wear information of the laser sensor, controls the water flushing module to start water filling, transmission gear replacement or lubricating oil adding of the lubricating module.

[0034] The control unit controls the water flushing module to flush with N times of normal water flow before starting the transmission gear replacement ascending order, and N is 2-5.

[0035] Specifically, 30s before starting the gear replacement program, the water flow flushing module flushes with 2 times of normal water flow to remove the silt more thoroughly, and 30s after completing the whole gear replacement program, the normal water flow is restored.

[0036] Combining the gear replacement module and the water flow flushing module, the whole gear replacement process is as shown in Figure 5 .

[0037] The remaining parts are structural auxiliary parts, and the relevant work schematic diagram is as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 .

[0038] The application changes the gear set without affecting the operation of the drum filter screen, and achieves the effects of prolonging the service life of the driving device, not affecting the operation of the drum filter screen and high efficient and stable structure, so as to prolong the in-service period of the drum filter screen gear.

[0039] The above description of the embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the application and its core idea. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, some improvements and modifications can be made to the application without departing from the principles of the application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the application.

[0040] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the application. Various modifications to the embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the application. Therefore, the application will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
