[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Example
[0026] Reference Figure 1 A multi-stage evaporation and concentration device for high-concentration wastewater, used in wastewater treatment, comprises multiple evaporation tanks 1. Each evaporation tank is designed with a feed port 7 at the top to receive the wastewater to be treated and a discharge port 2 at the bottom to discharge the concentrated wastewater or waste residue. An air inlet 8 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the evaporation tank 1 for introducing hot steam or hot air, while an air outlet 4 is provided on the other side for discharging the evaporated gas. Adjacent evaporation tanks are connected by a connecting pipe 5, connecting the air outlet 4 of the previous evaporation tank to the air inlet 8 of the next evaporation tank, forming a multi-stage evaporation system.
[0027] A three-way valve 3 is installed at the discharge end 2 of each evaporation tank 1. One end of the three-way valve is connected to the feed end 7 of the adjacent evaporation tank via a second connecting pipe 6, forming a path for the wastewater to circulate step by step. The other end is connected to a drain pipe to remove crystals formed on the inner wall of the tank. A centrifugal pump is installed in the second connecting pipe 6 to ensure smooth flow of wastewater between the various evaporation tanks.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 Inside the evaporator 1, multiple sets of heat exchange tubes 9 are arranged in a ring and secured to the inner wall of the evaporator via connecting plates. These heat exchange tubes heat the wastewater, promoting evaporation. To further improve evaporation efficiency, each evaporator is also equipped with a distributor 13 above the heat exchange tubes 9. This distributor evenly distributes the incoming wastewater, ensuring sufficient contact between the wastewater and the heat exchange tubes. Example
[0029] refer to Figure 3-4 , based on Example 1, an improvement: To solve the problem of inner wall crystallization during the evaporation process, this device is also designed with a cleaning component. The cleaning component includes multiple groups of scrapers 10, each group of scrapers consisting of multiple scrapers arranged in a ring and located at the bottom of the evaporator. In addition, a pressure plate 12 is provided inside the feed end 7, and the bottom of the pressure plate is connected to a slide rod 11. The slide rod passes through the distributor 13, the connecting plate and the outer cylinder 15, and finally extends to the bottom of the heat exchange tube. The scrapers are connected by a connecting rod 17. The top of the connecting rod 17 extends into the sliding cavity 16 at the bottom of the slide rod 11. The annular inclined groove 21 on the outer wall of the connecting rod 17 cooperates with the limit block 20 to realize the automatic extension and retraction cleaning function of the scraper when under pressure. At the same time, the outer wall of the slide rod 11 inside the inner cavity 18 is provided with a sleeve plate 14. A compression spring 19 is provided between the sleeve plate 14 and the inner cavity 18 to restore the scraper position when not under pressure.
[0030] Specifically, after being heated, the wastewater is transported to the interior of the evaporation tank 1 through the feed end 7, and then the wastewater enters the interior of multiple heat exchange tubes 9 through the distributor 13, and the steam enters the interior of the evaporation tank 1 through the air inlet end 8. At this time, the wastewater will undergo heat exchange to evaporate and concentrate, and the gas will enter the interior of the next evaporation tank 1 through the air outlet end 4 and the No. 1 connecting pipe 5. The concentrated wastewater is pumped through the discharge end 2 and the No. 2 connecting pipe 6 to enter the interior of the next evaporation tank 1 for re-evaporation and concentration. After multi-stage evaporation, a large amount of water in the wastewater is removed to form a high-concentration concentrated liquid. When it is necessary to clean the bottom of the evaporation tank 1, the three-way valve 3 at the bottom of the first evaporation tank 1 is first controlled to connect the discharge end 2 to the sewage pipe, and then water is indirectly added to the interior of the evaporation tank 1 multiple times. When the water enters the interior of the feed end 7, it will punch the pressure plate 12. The pressure plate 12 presses the slide bar 11 downward. When the slide bar 11 moves downward, the internal limit block 20 moves downward along the annular inclined slide groove 21, causing the connecting rod 17 to rotate. The connecting rod 17 drives the multiple scraping strips 10 to rotate, thereby scraping out the crystals at the bottom end of the evaporation tank 1. The slide bar 11 is reset by the compression spring 19, thereby driving the scraping strips 10 to reset for a second time. Through multiple indirect water injections, the crystals on the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1 are scraped off and discharged together with the water through the drain pipe. After that, the three-way valve 3 at the bottom end of one evaporation tank 1 is reset, and the three-way valve 3 at the bottom end of the second evaporation tank 1 is connected to the drain pipe, and the indirect water injection is continued, thereby achieving the cleaning of the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1. By controlling the water injection frequency and water injection amount and the connecting end of the corresponding three-way valve 3, cleaning can be automatically achieved without manual cleaning, achieving a certain systematic operation.

Those skilled in the art can make any selection according to their needs or convenience.
[0032] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
