[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms such as "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0032] like FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C As shown, the self-cleaning sludge filter 001 of the embodiment of the utility model mainly includes a housing 10, an air inlet 20, an air outlet 30, a filter cartridge, a rotation drive module 60, and a cleaning module. Among them, the filter cartridge can be an integrated design, or a split design including a support cartridge 40 and a filter screen 50. The split design is more conducive to flexible replacement of consumables. The cleaning module can specifically include a gas cleaning module 70 and / or a liquid cleaning module 80.
[0033] The housing 10 is in the shape of a column with a horizontally arranged central axis, and can be specifically cylindrical. The air inlet 20 is arranged on the cylindrical side of the housing 10. The air outlet 30 is arranged on a cylindrical end face of the housing 10, and the specific position can be flexibly designed, and can be the central position of the plane, or a position slightly offset from the central position of the plane. The support cylinder 40, the filter screen 50, the gas cleaning module 70 and the liquid cleaning module 80 are all located inside the housing 10.
[0034] The filter cartridge and the housing 10 may be sealed by a sliding silicone rubber strip. The support cartridge 40 in the filter cartridge is located between the air inlet 20 and the air outlet 30. In other words, the airflow from the air inlet 20 to the air outlet 30 flows through the support cartridge 40, especially through the wall of the support cartridge 40. The rotating axis of the support cartridge 40 is arranged horizontally. The filter screen 50 is detachably arranged on the wall of the support cartridge 40, and the consumables can be replaced regularly, which is more cost-effective than the solution of replacing the filter cartridge as a whole. The filter screen 50 may specifically be a stainless steel wire mesh.
[0035] The rotation drive module 60 is connected to the support tube 40, and is used to drive the support tube 40 to rotate around its rotation axis. The rotation drive module 60 may specifically include: a reduction motor 61, a driving gear 62, and a rotating gear 63. The reduction motor 61 is connected to an external power source and operates when powered on; the first end of the driving gear 62 is connected to the reduction motor 61, and the second end of the driving gear 62 is connected to the rotating gear 63; the rotating gear 63 is sleeved on the rotating axis of the support tube 40, and is used to drive the support tube 40 to rotate. Usually, the reduction motor 61 and the driving gear 62 are arranged outside the housing 10, and the rotating gear 63 is arranged inside the housing 10.
[0036] The cleaning module is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the cylinder wall of the filter cylinder, and specifically can be fixedly arranged on the inner side of the cylinder wall of the support cylinder 40, so as to facilitate the reverse purge cleaning operation. The so-called fixed arrangement means that the cleaning module is absolutely fixed in position with reference to a stationary object such as the ground plane, and the cleaning module is not attached to the inner surface of the cylinder wall of the filter cylinder, and the cleaning module is not relatively fixed in position with reference to the local cylinder wall of the filter cylinder. Therefore, when the filter cylinder rotates, the cleaning module can traverse and clean the entire filter cylinder, so the cleaning module of the self-cleaning sludge filter can clean the filter screen at close range, with high efficiency and full coverage.
[0037] The gas cleaning module 70 can be located on the inner side of the cylinder wall of the support cylinder 40, and is used to back-blow the filter screen 50 using compressed air. Since the rotation axis of the support cylinder 40 is arranged horizontally, the gas cleaning module 70 is preferably arranged on the inner side of the lowest position of the cylinder wall of the support cylinder 40, so that the materials back-blown by the gas cleaning module 70 can be more concentrated and more easily fall into the bottom of the shell 10. The gas cleaning module 70 includes a compressed air back-blowing pipe 71 and a back-blowing solenoid valve 72. The compressed air back-blowing pipe 71 is externally connected to a high-pressure air bag, and the pressure of the high-pressure air bag is about 0.3MPa to 0.7MPa. The compressed air back-blowing pipe 71 has a plurality of nozzles arranged along the direction of the rotation axis and with the opening direction facing downward, so as to more comprehensively clean the entire filter cylinder. The back-blowing solenoid valve 72 is used to control the opening and closing of the compressed air back-blowing pipe 71.
[0038] The liquid cleaning module 80 can be located on the inner side of the wall of the support cylinder 40, and is used to backwash the filter screen 50 with a high-pressure liquid flow. Since the rotating shaft of the support cylinder 40 is arranged horizontally, the liquid cleaning module 80 is preferably arranged on the inner side of the lowest position of the wall of the support cylinder 40, so that the substances backwashed by the liquid cleaning module 80 can be more concentrated and more easily fall into the bottom of the housing 10. The liquid cleaning module 80 includes: a high-pressure water backwashing interface 81 and a high-pressure water backwashing pipe 82, wherein the opening of the high-pressure water backwashing interface 81 faces downward, and the high-pressure water backwashing pipe 82 is connected to an external cleaning alkali solution tank.
[0039] The self-cleaning sludge filter 001 of the embodiment of the utility model can also include a dirt collecting module 90, which is located below the housing 10 and is used to collect sludge. The dirt collecting module 90 specifically includes an oil sludge collecting bucket 91, an oil sludge drain port 92, and an oil sludge bucket cleaning port 93. Among them: the oil sludge collecting bucket 91 is used to accommodate the oil sludge falling from the housing 10; the oil sludge drain port 92 is connected to the bottom of the oil sludge collecting bucket 91, and is used to discharge the oil sludge; the oil sludge bucket cleaning port 93 is located on the side surface of the oil sludge collecting bucket 91, and is used to facilitate the inspection and cleaning of the oil sludge collecting bucket 91.
[0040] The self-cleaning sludge filter 001 of the embodiment of the utility model may also include: a plurality of guide support wheels 101 arranged below the filter cartridge, the guide support wheels 101 are used to support the filter cartridge and provide guidance for the filter cartridge when it rotates. Figure 3C As shown, the guide support wheels 101 are located below the support cylinder 40, and there are four of them, two in each group, and each group supports one end surface of the support cylinder 40. This example is only for the convenience of illustration and not for limitation. The guide support wheels 101 are used to support the support cylinder 40 and provide guidance for the support cylinder 40 when it rotates.
[0041] The self-cleaning sludge filter 001 of the embodiment of the utility model may further include: an inspection port 102 arranged on the housing 10 .
[0042] The self-cleaning sludge filter 001 of the utility model embodiment may also include: a pressure difference detection port 103 arranged on the outer shell 10, and the pressure difference detection port 103 is used to place a pressure sensor to detect the pressure difference between the air inlet 20 and the air outlet 30. The pressure difference data can be used to determine whether the filter cartridge is working normally, whether the filter screen is blocked and needs to be replaced, etc.
[0043] According to the self-cleaning sludge filter 001 of the utility model implementation mode, since the gas cleaning module 70 and the liquid cleaning module 80 are arranged on the inner side of the cylinder wall of the support cylinder 40, the filter screen 50 can be backblown by compressed air and the filter screen 50 can be backwashed by high-pressure liquid flow. The filter screen 50 can be cleaned in time during the normal production filtering and waste discharge process, and it can be executed without waiting for the end of production and thorough cooling. It has the advantages of convenience, speed, labor saving, and resource saving.
[0044] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand, the working process of the self-cleaning sludge filter according to the embodiment of the utility model is described in detail below.
[0045] like Figure 4A As shown, the reduction motor 61 is powered on and started, driving the driving gear 62 to rotate, the driving gear 62 further drives the rotating gear 63, and finally the rotating gear 63 drives the support tube 40 to rotate, and the rotation speed can be adjusted according to actual needs. The exhaust gas containing particulate matter such as oil mist, stone powder, rubber powder, and tackifier enters the housing 10 through the air inlet 20, and the particulate matter and part of the oil mist are filtered and intercepted by the filter 50 on the support tube 40, and the exhaust gas with most of the particulate matter removed flows to the air outlet 30.
[0046] like Figure 4B As shown, the back-blowing solenoid valve 72 is started, and the compressed air back-blowing pipe 71 releases compressed air instantly, and the compressed air back-blowing pipe 71 is directly facing the oil mist, stone powder, rubber powder, tackifier and other particles attached to the outer surface of the filter 50. The blown-off particles fall into the oil sludge collecting bucket 91 due to gravity. The gas back-blowing cleaning operation can be sprayed once at regular intervals, and the spraying interval time can be adjusted and set according to actual needs. Since the filter 50 is always rotating with the support cylinder 40, each spray is not on the mesh surface in the same place. As a result, the compressed air back-blowing pipe 71 gradually blows off the particles on the surface of each position of the filter 50, so as to achieve the purpose of mechanical and automatic cleaning of the filter 50.
[0047] like Figure 4C As shown, after long-term use, the filter screen 50 will inevitably have parts that cannot be blown clean by compressed air. The high-pressure water backwash interface 81 can be opened to flush the filter screen 50 with the high-pressure alkaline water flowing in the high-pressure water backwash pipe 82 to achieve deep cleaning.
[0048] Finally, when the oil sludge collecting bucket 91 is full of dirt, the oil sludge drain port 92 is opened for discharge. If necessary, the oil sludge collecting bucket 91 is opened for deep cleaning.
[0049] In summary, in the self-cleaning sludge filter of the utility model embodiment, since the filter cartridge is horizontally arranged and can rotate, and the cleaning module is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the cartridge wall of the filter cartridge, when the filter cartridge rotates, the cleaning module can traverse and clean the entire filter cartridge. Therefore, the cleaning module of the self-cleaning sludge filter can clean the filter net at close range, with high efficiency and full coverage, and can clean the filter net in time during the normal production filtering and waste discharge process, without waiting for the production to end and cool down completely, and has the advantages of convenience, speed, labor saving, and resource saving.
[0050] The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions may occur depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
