Those skilled in the art will easily recognize from the following description that alternative embodiments of the structure and method shown in the present utility model can be adopted without departing from the principles of the present utility model.

[0029] In the treatment of restaurant kitchen waste, after the original materials are transported to the waste treatment plant, they are poured into silos for storage. The original materials of restaurant kitchen waste contain a large amount of piled oil, long fibrous vegetable leaves and stems, vegetable waste or long plastic. Due to the mutual accumulation and squeezing of large and hard garbage, the restaurant kitchen waste materials in the silo are easily suspended and agglomerated, and finally form an overhead arch bridge structure, that is, it is easy to accumulate into an arch shape on the outer edge of the spiral of the spiral conveying equipment. As the materials accumulate, the arch structure becomes stronger and stronger. If there is no external force, the arch structure is difficult to be destroyed. The material poured into the silo again can only fall on the arch bridge, but not on the spiral body, causing the spiral body to keep moving relative to the arch bridge formed by the fibrous material, that is, the spiral body is always idling, which destroys the conveying function of the screw conveyor.

[0030] The utility model aims to provide an arch breaking device on a spiral conveying device, which is mainly used in the technical field of restaurant kitchen waste treatment in the environmental protection industry.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, an arch-breaking device on a spiral conveying device is installed on a spiral blade on a spiral conveying device at the bottom of a kitchen waste silo. The arch-breaking device includes a plurality of tooth structures, and the bottom surface of the tooth structure is installed on the spiral blade. The installation method can be selected as welding, and the welding construction is simple. The tooth structure is welded firmly and is not easy to be damaged. There is no need for high-frequency maintenance, and there is no need to take immediate measures to re-weld due to the detachment of individual tooth structures. After the tooth structure is installed on the spiral blade, the tooth structure will hook the plastic bag or long strip material protruding from the arch structure during the movement of the spiral body, so that the plastic bag breaks, and the material in the plastic bag is scattered between the adjacent spiral blades, or through the pulling effect of the hooked long strip material, pull other materials in the arch structure to fall down, thereby destroying the already formed arch structure. Under the action of the continuous tooth structure, the material on the arch structure is hooked into the middle of the two spiral blades of the spiral conveyor, which can quickly destroy the arch bridge structure and restore the material conveying function of the spiral conveyor.

[0032] An optional implementation manner, each spiral blade is provided with N tooth-like structures spaced and evenly arranged along its circumference, 0<N<10. The number of tooth-like structures installed on each spiral blade may be equal or unequal. Generally, it is possible to consider installing multiple tooth-like structures on each spiral blade, and the number of tooth-like structures is adjusted according to the outer diameter of the spiral blade to achieve appropriate density, and they are installed continuously in the length direction of the spiral body. If the number of tooth-like structures installed on a single spiral blade is too large, it will cause waste of materials and increase unnecessary construction volume. If the number of tooth-like structures is too small, the arched structure formed on the upper end or side of the spiral body cannot be destroyed in time within the effective time of transportation, thereby reducing the transportation efficiency.

[0033] The size of the toothed structure can be adjusted according to the outer diameter of the spiral of the screw conveyor, the inner hole diameter, and the pitch of the screw of the screw conveyor. In an alternative embodiment, the size of the toothed structure can be set as follows: the base length a = the outer diameter of the spiral × (0.1 - 0.25), the height h = the outer diameter of the spiral × (0.15 - 0.35), and the thickness is 6mm ≤ b ≤ 12mm. The base length a, the height h, and the thickness b are as Figure 1 referred to in. If the toothed structure is too large, on the one hand, it will reduce the probability of the material falling into the space between adjacent spiral blades, and on the other hand, it will cause waste of materials; if the toothed structure is too small, it will not be able to play the role of hooking the material. Only when the agglomerated material is hooked down by the toothed structure and falls into the gap between adjacent spiral blades of the screw conveyor can the material be conveyed away.

[0034] In an alternative embodiment, the tooth tips of the toothed structure are parallel to the axial direction of the spiral of the screw conveying device, which can make the material hold the material as much as possible during rotation, improve the arch-breaking efficiency, and thus facilitate the conveying of the material. In addition, setting the installation position of the toothed structure flush with the outer edge of the spiral blade can make the toothed structure hold the material on the outer periphery of the spiral blade, which can further ensure the arch-breaking effect.

[0035] In an alternative embodiment, the installation position of the toothed structure 1 is on the back of the material-facing surface 21 of the spiral blade. The material-facing surface 21 of the spiral blade is as Figure 1 shown, which is the main stress surface of the spiral blade 2. Setting the toothed structure on the back of the material-facing surface 21 of the spiral blade can delay or hinder the formation of the arch structure above the spiral without damaging the normal conveying function of the screw conveyor. If the toothed structure 1 is installed on the same side as the material-facing surface 21 of the spiral blade, it will hinder the material in the silo from entering the space formed by adjacent two blades of the screw conveyor, causing interference to the material conveying and affecting the normal conveying function of the screw conveyor.

[0036] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the toothed structure is in the shape of a triangular tooth or a trapezoidal tooth. Considering material saving, arch-breaking effect, simple processing, and cost saving, the toothed structure is preferably a triangular tooth structure. In addition, the toothed structure can also be a conical tooth. Figure 1 and 2 shown is a schematic structural diagram of an arch-breaking device with a triangular tooth structure installed on a single-screw conveying device, Figure 3 shown is a schematic structural diagram of an arch-breaking device with a trapezoidal tooth structure installed on a single-screw conveying device.

[0037] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 1 、 2As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the triangular tooth-like structure includes a front X surface and a back Y surface, where the X surface is parallel to the Y surface, and there are three side surfaces between the X surface and the Y surface, namely an inner side surface 11, an outer side surface 12, and a bottom side surface 13. The inner side surface 11 faces the center of the spiral blade along the conveying direction of the spiral blade, and it is the material-receiving surface of the tooth-like structure. Preferably, in the present invention, the material-receiving surface of the tooth-like structure is set to have a certain slope. Preferably, the material-receiving surface of the tooth-like structure is inclined towards the center of the spiral blade. The inclination angle can be set according to actual use conditions. For example, the X surface can be set to be smaller than the Y surface, so that the material-receiving surface of the tooth-like structure is in a blade shape, which is convenient for hooking the material, making the material be hooked and not easily fall off during the rotation process, facilitating the conveying of the material and improving the arch-breaking effect. Preferably, in the present invention, an obtuse angle is provided between the material-receiving surface of the tooth-like structure and the spiral blade where the bottom surface of the tooth-like structure is located, so as to avoid forming a solid material mass between the material-receiving surface of the tooth-like structure and the spiral blade during the rotation process, squeezing between the material-receiving surface of the tooth-like structure and the spiral blade where the bottom surface of the tooth-like structure is located, damaging the tooth tip structure of the tooth-like structure, and reducing the use effect of the tooth-like structure.

[0038] The present invention also provides a screw conveyor, which is a single-screw, double-screw or multi-screw structure, and is provided with the above-mentioned arch-breaking device. As Figure 4 shown, it is a double-screw conveyor provided with an arch-breaking device.

[0039] By installing a certain number of tooth-like structures 1 at appropriate positions on the spiral blade 2 of the present invention, the arch structure formed during the screw conveying at the bottom of the silo can be destroyed and removed, avoiding that during the screw conveying at the bottom of the silo, the screw body 3 rotates around the arch formed above the screw body or on the side surface of the multi-screw conveyor, resulting in only the relative movement between the screw body and the arch. The newly entered material in the silo can only continue to fall on the arch and cannot enter between the two spiral blades. The screw body 3 has been idling, losing the conveying function of the screw. This structure is particularly suitable for conveying a large amount of materials such as kitchen waste containing long fibrous vegetable leaves, vegetable stalks, vegetable garbage, or long plastics that are prone to agglomeration and form an arch structure.

However, it can be understood that the embodiments of the present invention can be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures, and technologies are not shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.

For example, in the claims, any one of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.
