A centrifugal rod 11 is suspended in the middle of the separation chamber 6, the diverter rod 8 and the centrifugal rod 11 are aligned in the vertical direction, the output shaft of the first motor 15 extends to the centrifugal rod 11, the first motor 15 is fixedly connected to the centrifugal rod 11, a plurality of stirring rods 17 and a plurality of first through holes 12 are fixedly arranged on the centrifugal rod 11, a motor bracket 22 is arranged at the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the centrifugal rod 11, a second motor 23 is arranged in the motor bracket, the second motor 23 is connected to the first baffle 25 through a rotating shaft 24, and the first baffle 25 is used to cover the first through hole 12 , so that the separation chamber 6 is not connected to the centrifugal rod 11, and the second motors 23 at both ends of the side walls of the centrifugal rod 11 drive the first baffle 25 to realize the connection between the separation chamber 6 and the centrifugal rod 11 through the first through hole 12. A plurality of second through holes 28 and a plurality of second baffles 27 are respectively provided on both sides of the separation chamber 6. The cross section of the second baffle 27 is used to cover two adjacent second through holes 28. A plurality of third motors 26 are fixed at the upper and lower ends of the separation chamber 6. The output shaft of the third motor 26 is connected to the second baffle 27.

[0030] A door 13 is provided on one side of the separation chamber 6, and the door 13 is movably connected to one end of the shell 3. A handle 14 is provided on the door 13. A control box 4 is provided on one side of the shell 3. The first valve 21, the second valve 29, the telescopic rod 10, the first motor 15, the second motor 23 and the third motor 26 are electrically connected to the control box 4 respectively.

[0031] The utility model realizes the following process: the sludge enters the sludge thickener from the feed hopper 7, and the diverter rod 8 relatively separates the sludge to reduce the flow of the feed hopper 7 to prevent the sludge from overflowing due to too fast feeding, and dynamically controls the first motor 15, the second motor 23, the third motor 26, the first valve 21 and the second valve 29 respectively.

[0032] When the sludge flow rate is large, the telescopic rod 10 is telescopically moved to filter the sludge flowing into the feed hopper 7 through the screen 9 for the first time. After filtration, the sludge continues to flow into the separation chamber 6 relatively evenly, and the first motor 15 is controlled to drive the centrifugal rod 11 to run continuously. The centrifugal rod 11 drives the stirring rod 17. At this time, the first baffles 25 at the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the centrifugal rod 11 block the first through hole 12, so that the first through hole 12 is not connected to the separation chamber 6. When the first motor 15 reaches the preset speed, under the action of the stirring rod 17, the sludge forms a state in which the middle area of ​​the concentration is relatively thin and the outer area is relatively thick. The third motor 26 at the lower left side is controlled by the control box 4 to drive the second baffle 26 at the lower left side. The plate 27 moves so that the second through hole 28 is connected with the second discharge pipeline 19. At the same time, the first valve 21 on the left and the second valve 29 on the left are opened by the control box 4. The first baffle 25 is driven to move by controlling the second motor 23 so that the first through hole 12 is connected with the separation chamber 6. The sludge concentrated water around the inner wall of the separation chamber 6 flows out from the second through hole 28 on the left side opened on the inner wall of the separation chamber 6 along the second discharge pipeline 19 on the left side, and the sludge dilution water near the centrifugal rod 11 flows from the first through hole 12 opened in the middle of the centrifugal rod 11 along the first discharge pipeline 18 to the discharge chamber 5. The sludge dilution water is then discharged from the discharge chamber 5 through the third discharge pipeline 20 on the left side. Through continuous stirring, the sludge concentration in the separation chamber 6 is continuously formed into a state where the middle area is relatively thin and the outer area is relatively thick, and the continuously entering mud and water mixture is concentrated.

[0033] When the sludge flow rate is small, the telescopic rod 10 is telescopically moved to filter the sludge flowing into the feed hopper 7 through the screen 9 for the first time. After filtration, the sludge flows into the separation chamber 6 relatively evenly, and the first motor 15 drives the centrifugal rod 11 to run intermittently. Before starting, the first baffles 25 at the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the centrifugal rod 11 block the first through hole 12, so that the first through hole 12 is not connected to the separation chamber 6, and the third motor 26 on the upper right side is controlled by the control box 4 to close the second baffle 27 on the right side, so that the second through hole 28 is not connected to the second discharge pipeline 19. When the sludge in the separation chamber 6 forms a certain speed, the stirring is stopped, and the rotating sludge particles approach the middle of the centrifugal rod 11, and the sludge concentrated water is formed in the central area, and the sludge diluted water is formed in the peripheral area. At this time, the third motor 26 on the upper right side is controlled by the control box 4 to drive the second baffle 27 on the right side to move, so that the second through hole 28 is connected to the second discharge pipeline 19. At the same time, the first valve 21 and the second valve 29 on the right side are opened by the control box 4, and the second motor 23 on the side wall of the centrifugal rod 11 drives the first baffle 25 connected thereto to move, so that the first through hole 12 is connected to the separation chamber 6. At this time, the sludge concentrated water gradually flows along the first through hole 12 on the right side through the first discharge pipeline 18 to the discharge chamber 5, and then is discharged from the third discharge pipeline 20 on the right side, while the sludge diluted water flows out from the second through hole 28 of the separation chamber 6 and then is discharged from the second discharge pipeline 19 on the right side. After a period of time, the above operation is repeated to achieve sludge concentration.

[0034] In addition, the lower part of the sludge particles in the separation chamber 6 is thicker than the upper part. On the side for collecting sludge concentrated water, the lower through hole is opened and the upper through hole is closed. On the side for collecting sludge dilution water, the upper through hole is opened and the lower through hole is closed to achieve secondary concentration or dilution and enhance the effect.

[0035] It can be understood that by controlling the second motor 23, the third motor 26, the first valve 21 and the second valve 29, a variety of combinations of sludge discharge passages can be formed.

[0036] When necessary, the door 13 is opened by the handle 14 to enter the separation chamber 6 , so as to replace the screen 9 and clean the sludge adhering to the inner wall of the separation chamber 6 and the inner wall of the discharge chamber 5 .

[0037] The utility model dynamically controls the working frequency of the centrifugal rod 11 according to the actual situation of the sludge flow rate, and cooperates with the control of the second motor 23, the third motor 26, the first valve 21 and the second valve 29. The stirring rod 17 can effectively reduce energy consumption, and through intermittent operation, further save energy consumption, and effectively improve the concentration efficiency. When necessary, the warehouse door 13 can be opened, the screen 9 can be replaced, and the sludge in the separation chamber 6 and the discharge chamber 5 can be cleaned.

It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
