[0027] The technical solution of the utility model is clearly and completely described below with specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of the utility model.

[0028] The various devices used in the following embodiments, such as the crusher, pre-drying bin, and deep drying bin, can be selected from similar devices known in the prior art according to their respective functions unless otherwise specified. The innovation of the present utility model is not in these devices themselves, but in the overall device system composed of these devices.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the sludge continuous drying device of the utility model comprises a crusher 100, a pre-drying bin 200, and a deep drying bin 300 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the top of the crusher 100 has a feed inlet 10, and the bottom of the deep drying bin 300 has a discharge port 20, wherein:

[0030] The crusher 100 is used to crush the sludge input from the feed port 10 to ≤50 mm, preferably 30-40 mm; the bottom of the crusher 100 is directly connected to the pre-drying bin 200 so that the crushed sludge can directly fall into the pre-drying bin 200.

[0031] The pre-drying bin 200 is a vertical structure, with an air outlet 203 on one side of the top, and multiple strip screens 201 arranged on the inner wall from top to bottom for pre-drying the crushed sludge. A vibrator 202 is arranged on the side wall of the pre-drying bin for vibrating the strip screens 201 to prevent the sludge from clogging the screens. Figure 2 As shown, the strip screen 201 is in the shape of a disc, and the inside of the disc has a rod-shaped structure evenly arranged to form a screen. The gap width of the screen is equal to or slightly smaller than the size of the crushed sludge. The number of the strip screens 201 is 2-4, and the upper and lower spacing between two adjacent layers of strip screens 201 is 30-70cm. The gap width of the bottom layer of the strip screen 201 is 25-30mm.

[0032] The deep drying bin 300 is a vertical cylindrical structure, the top of which is connected to the bottom of the pre-drying bin 200 by a flexible connection, a rotating device 301 is provided at the bottom, and multiple layers of discs are fixed inside by means of the circumferential wall of the deep drying bin 300, including a non-porous disc 303 and a perforated disc 304.

[0033] The non-porous disc 303 is a disc without pores and is used to receive the sludge dropped from the pre-drying bin 200. Figure 4 As shown, the perforated disk 304 is in the shape of a disk, and has evenly arranged rod-shaped structures inside the disk to form pores.

[0034] The soft connection method of the deep drying bin 300 and the pre-drying bin 200 can be achieved by respectively setting flanges at the bottom of the pre-drying bin 200 and the top of the deep drying bin 300 and connecting them with bellows. This is a conventional method in the technical field and will not be described in detail.

[0035] Further, the rotating device 301 includes a motor 3011 at the bottom and a rotating shaft 3012 extending vertically upward from the output shaft of the motor 3011 and extending into the deep drying bin 300. The multi-layer disc is horizontally arranged inside the deep drying bin 300, and a circular hole 3042 is provided in the middle for the rotating shaft 3012 to pass through. Preferably, the multi-layer disc includes a first layer of non-porous discs 303 and second to fifth layers of perforated discs 304. Several connecting rods 3041 are welded to the outer edges of the non-porous discs 303 and the perforated discs 304, and the outer ends of the connecting rods are welded and fixed to the inner wall of the deep drying bin 300, so that the discs are horizontally arranged inside the deep drying bin 300.

[0036] Furthermore, the diameter of the first layer of non-porous disc 303 is 40-80 cm larger than the discharge port of the pre-drying bin, and is used to receive the pre-dried sludge.

[0037] The diameter of the second layer of perforated discs 304 is 40-80cm larger than that of the first layer of non-perforated discs, and the pore width is 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the slit width of the bottom layer of strip screen in the pre-drying bin. The diameters of the third to fifth layers of perforated discs 304 are 10-30mm smaller than the inner diameter of the deep drying bin, the pore width of the third layer of perforated discs is 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the pore width of the second layer of perforated discs, the pore width of the fourth layer of discs is 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the pore width of the third layer, and the pore width of the fifth layer of discs is 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the pore width of the fourth layer, and the width is 2-5mm.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the pores of the perforated disk are all strip-shaped pores.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a group of paddles 302 are arranged above the non-porous disk 303 and the perforated disk 304, one end of the paddle 302 is fixed on the rotating shaft 3012, and the other end is 2.5-7.5 cm away from the outer edge of the corresponding disk, and a plurality of scrapers 3021 are evenly arranged on the bottom surface of the paddle 302, and the spacing between the lower edge of the scraper 3021 and the upper surface of the disk (non-porous disk 303 or perforated disk 304) is 3-6 mm.

[0040] Among them, the number of blades on the same disc is 2-4, which are evenly distributed along the circumference, and the lower edge of the scraper 3021 arranged under two adjacent blades 302 is complementary to the distance between the upper surface of the disc, that is, the sludge left between the scrapers of one blade will be scraped by the scraper carried by the subsequent blade.

[0041] The bottom side wall of the deep drying bin 300 is provided with a plurality of air inlets 305, which are evenly distributed around the bottom side wall and are used to introduce hot dry air; preferably, the number of the air inlets 305 is 2-4. The temperature of the hot dry air is 60-90°C, preferably 70-80°C. The hot dry air rises from the bottom to the top, and cooperates with the disc, which can not only slow down the falling speed of the crushed sludge, but also reduce the dust content in the exhaust gas.

[0042] The production process of the sludge continuous drying device using the utility model is as follows:

[0043] 1. Crushing process:

[0044] The sludge enters the crusher 100 from the feed port 10 for crushing. The size of the crushed sludge is no more than 50 mm, preferably 30-40 mm.

[0045] 2. Pre-drying treatment:

[0046] The crushed sludge falls into the pre-drying bin 200 and is pre-dried by the strip screen 201. At the same time, the vibrator 202 is started to vibrate the screen to prevent the sludge from clogging the screen.

[0047] 3. Deep drying treatment:

[0048] The pre-dried sludge falls onto the first layer of non-porous disc 303 at the top of the deep drying bin 300. The rotating device 301 drives the paddle 302 above the disc to rotate slowly, and a scraper 3021 is installed under the paddle to mix the sludge on the disc and scrape it to the second layer of disc. The paddle above the second layer of disc rotates synchronously with the paddle of the first layer, further mixing the sludge evenly and scraping it to the third layer of disc. The third to fifth layers of discs are all perforated discs, and the pores of the discs are all strip-shaped pores. By analogy, the sludge is scraped to the bottom of the pre-drying bin 200.

[0049] The rotating device 301 has a rotation speed of 0.5-3 r / min and can rotate forward and reverse to meet the needs of different drying stages.

[0050] 4. Dry hot air treatment:

[0051] The hot dry air enters from the air inlet 305 at the bottom of the deep drying bin and is discharged from the bottom to the air outlet 203. The hot dry air takes out the moisture in the sludge during the rising process, thus achieving sludge drying. Since the moisture content of the sludge gradually decreases from top to bottom in the device, and the moisture content in the rising air gradually increases, the dust content gradually decreases, which is beneficial to the subsequent purification and recycling of waste heat energy.

[0052] 5. Discharging:

[0053] After the above-mentioned continuous drying treatment, the dried sludge is discharged from the discharge port 20 of the deep drying bin 300, completing the entire drying process.

[0054] The utility model of the sludge continuous drying device has a simple internal structure, is easy to operate, and has a low manufacturing cost. The water in the sludge is taken out by the flow of dry hot air in the device, thereby realizing continuous drying of the sludge. At the same time, the water content of the sludge gradually decreases from top to bottom in the device, while the water content in the rising air gradually increases, and the dust content gradually decreases, which is beneficial to the subsequent purification and recycling of waste heat energy.

[0055] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
