Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of brine treatment, and in particular to a feeding device for brine sedimentation. Background Art

[0002] Brine sedimentation is a key link in the brine purification process. It mainly uses physical or chemical methods to precipitate suspended matter, impurities or ions in the brine, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying the brine.

[0003] During the brine sedimentation process, some substances may be added to promote the sedimentation. These substances mainly include precipitants, coagulants or flocculants. Precipitants can react chemically with certain components in the brine to form insoluble precipitates, such as adding sodium carbonate to form calcium carbonate precipitation with calcium ions, or adding sodium hydroxide to form magnesium hydroxide precipitation with magnesium ions. Coagulants and flocculants can promote the aggregation of tiny particles in the brine into larger particles and increase the sedimentation rate, such as polyacrylamide, etc.

[0004] However, in actual operation, the existing additive delivery methods have many shortcomings. The traditional method is to inject additives directly into the sedimentation tank through pipes, but this method often leads to insufficient combination of additives and water in the sedimentation tank, resulting in low mixing efficiency. The additives cannot be evenly distributed throughout the water body, resulting in excessive concentration of the agent in some areas, while other areas may have insufficient agent, thus affecting the overall treatment effect.

[0005] In addition, direct injection of additives may also cause impact on the sediment at the bottom of the sedimentation tank. The strong water flow will wash up the sediment that has settled to the bottom and re-suspend it in the water, which not only increases the turbidity of the water quality, but may also bring the impurities that have been removed back into the water, greatly reducing the sedimentation effect.

[0006] In view of the above problems, a feeding equipment for brine sedimentation is now designed. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] The embodiment of the present application provides a feeding device for brine sedimentation, which can solve the problem in the related art that additives are directly injected into the sedimentation tank through a pipeline, which easily leads to insufficient combination of the additives and the water in the sedimentation tank, low mixing efficiency, and may cause impact on the sediment at the bottom of the sedimentation tank, affecting the sedimentation effect.

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 3A feeding device for brine sedimentation includes: a sedimentation tank 1, a feeding mechanism 2 is provided on the sedimentation tank 1, and the feeding mechanism 2 is used to feed additives into the sedimentation tank 1; the feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding part 21, a bracket 22, a buffer tank 23 and a driving member 24, the bracket 22 is slidably arranged above the sedimentation tank 1, the driving member 24 is connected to the bracket 22 and is used to drive the bracket 22 to move along the length of the sedimentation tank 1, the buffer tank 23 is arranged at the bottom of the bracket 22, the feeding part 21 is connected to the buffer tank 23 and is used to feed additives into the buffer tank 23, and the bottom of the buffer tank 23 is connected with a spray pipe 25, and the spray pipe 25 is used to spray additives.

[0025] In actual operation, the feeding part 21 starts working, the additive is put into the equipment from an external supply source, and water is added to dissolve it, and then the additive is transported to the buffer tank 23 connected to the feeding part 21.

[0026] At the same time, the driving member 24 starts to operate and is connected to the bracket 22 , thereby driving the bracket 22 to move along the length direction above the sedimentation tank 1 , so that the spray pipe 25 can cover the entire area of ​​the sedimentation tank 1 .

[0027] When the bracket 22 moves to the appropriate position, the spray pipe 25 at the bottom of the buffer tank 23 starts to work. The spray pipe 25 can spray the additive in the buffer tank 23 evenly and finely into the sedimentation tank 1, which can ensure that the additive is evenly distributed in the entire sedimentation tank 1 area to avoid uneven concentration or omission. As the bracket 22 moves, the feeding mechanism 2 can continuously spray the additive to different positions in the sedimentation tank 1, thereby achieving uniform feeding of the entire sedimentation tank.

[0028] Thus, by adopting this brine sedimentation feeding equipment, uniform feeding of the sedimentation tank 1 is achieved, and the additive can be continuously and evenly sprayed onto the surface of the sedimentation tank 1, so that the additive can be infiltrated and mixed from top to bottom, which not only ensures that the additive is fully combined with the water in the sedimentation tank and improves the treatment effect of brine sedimentation, but also effectively avoids impact on the sediment at the bottom of the sedimentation tank, prevents the sediment that has settled to the bottom from being washed up and re-suspended in the water, and ensures the efficiency of sedimentation. At the same time, the equipment has a compact structure and is easy to operate, and is suitable for brine treatment scenarios of various sizes.

[0029] It can be understood that the additive in this embodiment is a precipitant, a coagulant or a flocculant.

[0030] It should be noted that the bracket 22 in this embodiment is U-shaped, and the two ends of the bracket 22 are provided with telescopic rods so that the height can be adjusted.

[0031] The two ends of the bracket 22 are provided with telescopic rods. This design allows the height of the bracket 22 to be flexibly adjusted. By adjusting the length of the telescopic rod, the height of the bracket 22 can be adjusted according to actual needs and site conditions, thereby ensuring the adaptability and operational convenience between the feeding device and the sedimentation tank 1.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding part 21 in this embodiment includes a trailer 211, a storage tank 212, a pump body 213 and a hose 214. The storage tank 212 and the pump body 213 are both arranged on the trailer 211. The water inlet pipe of the pump body 213 is connected to the storage tank 212, the water outlet pipe of the pump body 213 is connected to the hose 214, and the other end of the hose 214 is connected to the buffer tank 23.

[0033] In actual operation, the trailer 211 is used as a mobile platform, carrying the storage tank 212 and the pump body 213, so that the feeding part 21 can be easily moved to the work site, or adjusted as needed. This design not only improves the flexibility of the equipment, but also facilitates the transportation and storage of the equipment.

[0034] The storage tank 212 is a container for storing additives, and its capacity is determined according to actual needs to ensure a continuous and stable supply of additives; the pump body 213 is responsible for extracting the additives in the storage tank 212 and transporting them to the feeding mechanism 2.

[0035] In actual operation, first, the trailer 211 is moved to a suitable position, and the pump body 213 is started. When the pump body 213 is running, it extracts the dissolved additive from the storage tank 212, and the extracted additive flows to the hose 214 through the outlet pipe of the pump body 213. The hose 214 is a flexible pipe connecting the pump body 213 and the buffer tank 23, which can be bent and stretched as needed. Finally, the additive flows into the buffer tank 23 through the other end of the hose 214. The buffer tank 23 is designed with an appropriate capacity for temporarily storing the additive delivered from the feed part 21. A spray pipe 25 is provided at the bottom of the buffer tank 23. The spray pipe 25 starts to work and evenly sprays the additive into the sedimentation tank 1.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the hose 214 and the buffer tank 23 are connected via a flange.

[0037] The flange is usually composed of two identical disks with a sealing gasket in between, and the two disks are tightly connected together by bolts or other fasteners. In this embodiment, one end of the hose 214 is connected to one disk of the flange, and the corresponding interface of the buffer tank 23 is connected to the other disk. The two disks are tightly fixed by bolts or other fasteners.

[0038] Thus, a firm connection between the hose 214 and the buffer tank 23 is achieved, which can effectively prevent leakage of the additive during the transmission process and ensure the continuity and stability of the feeding process. Secondly, the flange connection structure is simple, easy to install and disassemble, and convenient for equipment maintenance and repair.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment 3, a feeding device for brine sedimentation as described in claim 1 is characterized in that:

[0040] The spray pipe 25 includes a plurality of transfer tubes 251, and the plurality of transfer tubes 251 are arranged at equal distances at the bottom of the buffer tank 23. A plurality of spray pipes 252 are arranged at the bottom of the transfer tubes 251, and a nozzle 253 is arranged at the bottom of the spray pipe 252, wherein the transfer tubes 251, the spray pipes 252, the nozzle 253 and the buffer tank 23 are interconnected.

[0041] The transfer tubes 251 are arranged at equal distances at the bottom of the buffer tank 23. They serve as a bridge connecting the buffer tank 23 and the spray pipe 252 to ensure that the additive can flow smoothly from the buffer tank 23 to the spray pipe 252. The spray pipe 252 is arranged at the bottom of the transfer tube 251. They are responsible for further transporting the additive to the spray head 253. The design of the spray pipe 252 takes into account the fluidity and spraying range of the additive to ensure that the additive can be evenly sprayed to the designated area of ​​the sedimentation tank 1. The spray head 253 is the terminal component of the spray pipe 25. They are installed at the bottom of the spray pipe 252 and are responsible for spraying the additive into the sedimentation tank 1 in the form of mist. The design of the spray head 253 takes into account factors such as spraying angle, flow rate and uniformity to ensure that the additive can evenly cover the entire surface of the sedimentation tank 1.

[0042] In summary, the spray pipe 25 achieves uniform spraying of the additive through the coordinated work of the transfer tube 251 , the spray pipe 252 and the spray head 253 .

[0043] It should be noted that the driving member 24 in the present solution is two linear slide rails, which are relatively arranged on both sides of the sedimentation tank 1, and the two ends of the bottom of the bracket 22 are respectively connected to the two linear slide rails.

[0044] The driving member 24 is two linear slides, which is an efficient and stable driving method. The two linear slides are arranged on both sides of the sedimentation tank 1 to provide a stable and precise guide for the movement of the bracket 22. The two ends of the bottom of the bracket 22 are respectively connected to the two linear slides. When the linear slides are started, they can push the bracket 22 to move linearly along the length direction of the sedimentation tank 1.

[0045] In another embodiment, the driving member 24 includes a set of slide rails and a plurality of pulleys. The set of slide rails are relatively arranged on both sides of the sedimentation tank 1, and the plurality of pulleys are rotatably arranged at both ends of the bottom of the bracket 22. The pulleys are slidably matched with the slide rails.

[0046] The slide rails are relatively arranged on both sides of the sedimentation tank 1, providing a stable track for the movement of the bracket 22. A number of pulleys are rotatably arranged at both ends of the bottom of the bracket 22. These pulleys slide with the slide rails, so that the bracket 22 can move smoothly along the slide rails. In this way, the bracket 22 is pushed forward manually, which makes the operation simpler and the use cost lower.

[0047] Preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present embodiment further includes a winding frame 3 , which is disposed on the trailer 211 and is used to store the hose 214 .

[0048] The design of the reel 3 takes into account the flexibility and convenience of the hose 214 during use. When the hose 214 is not needed, it can be wound on the reel 3, which can not only avoid the confusion caused by the hose 214 being placed randomly, but also effectively protect the hose 214 from damage by the external environment and extend its service life.

[0049] The reeling frame 3 also facilitates the management and maintenance of the hose 214. The staff can easily check and replace the hose 214 reeled on the reeling frame 3 to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present embodiment also includes a power supply mechanism 4, which includes a solar panel, a battery and a solar controller. The solar panel is arranged on the trailer 211, the solar panel is electrically connected to the solar controller, and the solar controller is electrically connected to the battery. The solar controller is electrically connected to the driving member 24, and the solar controller is electrically connected to the pump body 213.

[0051] The design of the power supply mechanism 4 fully considers the self-sufficiency and environmental protection and energy-saving requirements of the equipment. The solar panels are arranged on the trailer 211. The solar panels are electrically connected to the solar controller. The solar controller is responsible for receiving the electric energy from the solar panels and reasonably distributing and managing it according to the needs. The solar controller is electrically connected to the battery. When the electric energy generated by the solar panels exceeds the current demand of the equipment, the excess electric energy will be stored in the battery for subsequent use.

[0052] The solar controller is also electrically connected to the driving member 24 and the pump body 213, and the power supply of the driving member 24 and the pump body 213 comes from the power supply mechanism 4. In this way, the feeding equipment realizes the direct use of solar energy, which not only reduces the dependence on traditional electricity, but also reduces energy consumption and environmental pollution.

[0053] It can be understood that the power supply mechanism 4 also includes an inverter, which converts direct current into alternating current to supply the device.

[0054] Preferably, the present embodiment further comprises a stirring mechanism 5, wherein the stirring mechanism 5 is a stirrer, and the stirrer is disposed inside the storage tank 212 and is used to stir the additive inside the storage tank 212, wherein the stirrer is electrically connected to the solar controller.

[0055] By continuously working the agitator, the additive and water in the storage tank 212 can be kept uniformly mixed, preventing the additive from settling or stratifying in the storage tank 212. This not only ensures that the additive extracted from the storage tank 212 by the pump body 213 has a stable concentration and property, but also improves the use efficiency of the additive and reduces waste.
