[0027] It should be noted that like numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, so once an item is defined or described in one figure, it will not need to be further discussed and described in detail in the description of the subsequent figures.
[0028] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the present application provides a technical solution: a new type of electrolytic sludge unloading assembly, which has the following characteristics:
[0029] The mounting base 1 is made of a sturdy metal material, such as carbon steel or stainless steel. It is welded or bolted to the bottom of the discharge chute 2 to support and stabilize it. The discharge chute 2 is a rectangular trough structure welded from metal plates, forming an open-top structure. The bottom of the chute 2 is designed with a curved guide surface 3, which smoothly transitions from a high side to a low side, forming a slope to guide the sludge toward the discharge port 4. The curved guide surface 3 undergoes special treatment, such as polishing or coating, to further enhance its corrosion resistance and reduce sludge adhesion, facilitating sludge removal and cleaning. This ensures that its shape minimizes resistance to sludge flow. The discharge port 4, located at the lowest side of the chute 2, is circular or oval in shape to facilitate sludge flow. Its dimensions are designed based on the sludge flow rate and the requirements of downstream processing equipment. The discharge pipe 5 is made of a wear- and corrosion-resistant material, such as stainless steel. One end of the discharge pipe 5 is connected to the discharge port 4 via a flange or threaded connection, and the other end is connected to the buffer box 6. The discharge pipe 5 is a passageway connecting the discharge chute 2 and the buffer box 6, used to transport sludge from the discharge chute 2 to the buffer box 6 or other treatment facilities. A discharge valve 7 is installed on the discharge pipe 5 to control the time and speed of sludge discharge. The buffer box 6 is used to slow down and redirect the sludge discharged from the discharge chute 2, reducing the possibility of sludge directly impacting downstream treatment equipment. An inlet pipe 8 is connected to a pre-set clean water source, such as tap water or industrial water. One end of the inlet pipe 8 is inserted into the side wall of the discharge chute 2. Water is sprayed into the discharge chute 2 through a spray pipe 9 to assist in sludge removal and clean the interior of the chute 2. The spray pipe 9 surrounds the inner wall of the discharge chute 2 to ensure thorough rinsing of the sludge during discharge. The spray pipe 9 is evenly distributed with water outlet holes 10 along its length to ensure uniform water flow distribution.
[0030] During use, the sludge generated during the electrolysis process enters the discharge trough 2 through the upper opening of the discharge trough 2. Inside the discharge trough 2, the arc-shaped guide surface 3 guides the sludge to the discharge port 4. Due to the slope shape of the arc-shaped guide surface 3, the sludge can smoothly transition from the high side to the low side until it flows out of the discharge trough 2. The discharge pipe 5 connects the discharge port 4 and the buffer box 6 to ensure that the sludge can smoothly enter the downstream treatment equipment after flowing out of the discharge trough 2. The discharge valve 7 is installed on the discharge pipe 5 to adjust the outflow speed of the sludge to adapt to different treatment requirements. The water inlet pipe 8 is connected to the water source to send clean water into the spray pipe 9. The spray pipe 9 is set on the inner wall of the discharge trough 2, and sprays clean water through the water outlet 10 to clean the sludge in the discharge trough 2 to reduce the adhesion and deposition of the sludge.
[0031] It should be noted that a viewing window 11 is provided on the side wall of the discharge chute 2. The viewing window 11 is transparent so that the operator can clearly observe the situation inside the discharge chute 2. The operator adjusts the water flow rate and the discharge speed according to the viscosity and flow characteristics of the sludge observed.
[0032] Furthermore, the spray pipe 9 is continuously arranged around the inner wall of the discharge trough 2 to form a closed loop, ensuring that the sludge inside the entire discharge trough 2 can be effectively flushed. The spray pipe 9 is installed on the inner wall of the discharge trough 2 by a fixed bracket or a clamp to ensure the stability and reliability of its position. The spray pipe 9 is made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as PVC, stainless steel or polypropylene, to adapt to the chemical environment in the trough. The spray pipe 9 is connected to the water inlet pipe 8 through a tee or a distributor to ensure that the water source can be evenly distributed to various parts of the spray pipe 9. The water pressure and flow provided by the water inlet pipe 8 are adjusted to meet the flushing requirements of the spray pipe 9 while avoiding excessive impact on the sludge or the discharge trough 2.
[0033] It should be noted that the water outlet holes 10 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the spray pipe 9, that is, they are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the spray pipe 9. This design ensures uniformity in the spray coverage, so that all areas of the inner wall of the discharge trough 2 can be effectively flushed. The shape of the water outlet holes 10 is usually circular or rectangular, and its size is designed according to the required water flow rate and pressure to ensure sufficient flushing effect. The function of the water outlet holes 10 is to evenly distribute the water flow provided by the water inlet pipe 8 to the periphery of the spray pipe 9, forming a uniform spray effect, which can dilute the sludge while also effectively flushing the sludge on the inner wall of the discharge trough 2.
[0034] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs 12 are provided on the sidewalls of the discharge chute 2 and on the bottom of the curved guide surface 3, forming raised structures to enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the discharge chute 2. The reinforcing ribs 12 can be vertical or angled to accommodate the varying stresses on the sidewalls and bottom of the discharge chute 2. The reinforcing ribs 12 are typically made of the same material as the discharge chute 2, such as carbon steel or stainless steel, to ensure material consistency and corrosion resistance. The reinforcing ribs 12 can be secured to the sidewalls and bottom of the discharge chute 2 by welding, bolting, or riveting.
[0035] It should be noted that the reinforcing ribs 12 are designed as raised structures that extend continuously from the bottom of the arc-shaped guide surface 3 to the side walls of the discharge chute 2 , forming one or more reinforcing paths to enhance the structural rigidity of the entire discharge chute 2 .
[0036] It should be noted that the buffer box 6 is designed as a hollow box structure, with its top connected to the discharge pipe 5 and its bottom opening facing downward, allowing the sludge to flow smoothly and directly into downstream processing equipment. The downward-facing opening of the buffer box 6 helps utilize gravity to allow the sludge to fall naturally, reducing obstruction to sludge flow and improving discharge efficiency. The interior surface of the buffer box 6 may be smoothed or coated to reduce sludge adhesion and facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
[0037] It's worth noting that the discharge pipe 5, extending from the discharge chute 2 to the buffer box 6, is designed with a certain slope to ensure smooth sludge flow under gravity. The connection between the discharge pipe 5 and the discharge chute 2 is higher than the connection with the buffer box 6, forming a downward slope, which promotes smooth sludge flow and reduces sludge retention in the pipe.
[0038] It should be noted that discharge valve 7 utilizes a flow control valve. This type of valve precisely controls the flow of sludge, ensuring a steady flow rate from discharge pipe 5. Discharge valve 7 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism, which can be either manual or automatic to accommodate varying sludge treatment requirements and operating conditions. The connection between discharge valve 7 and discharge pipe 5 can be via a flange, threaded connection, or quick connector, ensuring a leak-tight and reliable connection. The specific structure of the valve is conventional and will not be detailed here.
[0039] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
