Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to a sludge treatment device, and in particular relates to a sludge drying device. Background Art

[0002] Thermal power plants primarily rely on the combustion of coal to generate large amounts of high-temperature, high-pressure steam, which is then converted into electricity using steam generators. Steam generators generate electricity primarily by rotating blades driven by steam. A burner heats the liquid within the steam generator, converting it into steam. This steam is then fed into the generator, where it rotates the blades, driving the generator to generate electricity. Sludge generation is also a particularly challenging issue during urban construction and operation, generating significant amounts of sludge annually and placing a significant burden on the environment.

[0003] For example, the sludge treatment device using flue gas waste heat in patent number CN202210794861.6 includes a dehydration mechanism, a drying absorption mechanism, and a flue drying mechanism, which creates a new way of co-governance of "waste with waste". It can effectively utilize the calorific value of sludge and recover flue gas waste heat, improve resource reuse capacity, and enable sludge and flue gas to be treated and comprehensively utilized, thus avoiding land pollution and atmospheric environmental pollution and reducing carbon emissions. However, there are still some problems in the use of current sludge drying equipment, such as the short contact time and small contact area between the sludge and the boiler waste heat, which cannot effectively reduce the water content of the sludge. A large amount of sludge is added, and the sludge mixing effect is not good, resulting in poor effect of using waste heat to dry the sludge. Summary of the Invention

A waste heat pipe for drying the sludge is provided below the sieve plate. A conveying device for delivering the dried sludge is provided below the waste heat pipe.

[0006] Wherein, a vibration component for vibrating the screen plate is also provided.

[0007] The stirring device includes a cylinder and a transmission rod and a spiral blade connected to the motor inside the cylinder.

[0008] Wherein, a blocking plate is provided below the material inlet of the stirring device.

[0009] The vibrating motor is arranged at four corners of the sieve plate, and the spring is connected to the lining fixed to the shell.

[0010] The flared cover is fixed to the bottom of the sieve plate to avoid sludge splashing.

[0011] The push rod motor is arranged below the sieve plate to push the mesh plate.

[0012] The waste heat pipe comprises a main pipe and a plurality of branch pipes, and a plurality of air injection heads are arranged above the branch pipes.

[0013] Further, the air injection head is provided with a cover at the top end.

[0014] The conveying device comprises a transmission shaft and a transmission belt.

[0015] The working principle of the present application is as follows: the main pipe is connected with the waste gas exhaust pipe, the sludge is added to the sludge inlet pipe, the motor is started to drive the transmission rod and the spiral blade to rotate in the cylinder; when the cylinder is filled with sludge, the motor is started to open the material port, and the sludge is transferred to the frame; the vibration motor is started to drive the frame to vibrate under the action of the spring, so that the sludge falls through the mesh plate uniformly; the high-temperature waste gas conveyed in the main pipe passes through the air injection head and falls with the sludge to have a drying reaction, and the dried sludge falls into the transmission belt and is discharged from the shell.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0017] (1) The blocking plate and the stirring device are used to quantitatively feed the sludge into the sieve plate, and the sieve plate combined with the vibration assembly makes the sludge fall uniformly from top to bottom, thereby increasing the contact time and area with the rising steam below and improving the drying effect on the sludge.

[0018] (2) The blocking plate is used to open and close the material port below the stirring device, thereby achieving the discharging of the sieve plate below, and after the blocking plate is closed, the spiral blade is used to fill the inside of the cylinder with sludge, thereby achieving the intermittent and quantitative discharging of the sludge.

[0019] (3) The adjusting assembly is used to adjust the position between the sieve plate and the mesh plate, thereby achieving the misalignment of the mesh holes and further controlling the discharging rate, and greatly improving the drying effect on the sludge. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
