[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a sludge collection system for a sewage treatment plant includes a sludge thickening tank 1, a sludge sedimentation tank 2, a first sludge storage tank 3, a second sludge storage tank 4 and a controller 19. The sludge inlet of the sludge thickening tank 1 is connected to the sludge outlet of the sludge producing unit in the sewage treatment plant. The sludge outlet of the sludge thickening tank 1 is connected to the sludge inlet of the sludge sedimentation tank 2 through a first sludge conveying pipe 11. An electric control valve 12 and a first sludge pump 13 are provided on the first sludge conveying pipe 11. The sludge outlet of the sludge sedimentation tank 2 is connected to the sludge outlet of the sludge thickening tank 1 through a second sludge conveying pipe 11. The pipeline 14 is connected to the inlet of the three-way valve 16. A second sludge pump 15 is provided on the second sludge conveying pipeline 14. The two outlets of the three-way valve 16 are respectively connected to the first sludge storage tank 3 and the second sludge storage tank 4 through the third sludge conveying pipeline 17. A mud level meter 18 is provided in the first sludge storage tank 3 and the second sludge storage tank 4. The mud level meter 18 is connected to the input end of the controller 19, and the output end group of the controller 19 is connected to the control end of the electric control valve 12, the first sludge pump 13, the second sludge pump 15 and the three-way valve 16.

[0023] In this example, the sludge-producing units in the sewage treatment plant include a biochemical sludge tank 9 and a physicochemical sludge tank 10. The sludge outlet of the biochemical sludge tank 9 is connected to the sludge inlet of the sludge thickening tank 1 through a fourth sludge conveying pipe 5, and the sludge outlet of the physicochemical sludge tank 10 is connected to the sludge inlet of the sludge thickening tank 1 through a fifth sludge conveying pipe 6. A third sludge pump 7 is provided on the fourth sludge conveying pipe 5, and a fourth sludge pump 8 is provided on the fifth sludge conveying pipe 6. The third sludge pump 7 and the fourth sludge pump 8 are both connected to the output end group of the controller 19.

[0024] The controller 19 controls the third sludge pump 7, the fourth sludge pump 8, the electric control valve 12, the first sludge pump 13, the second sludge pump 15 and the three-way valve 16 according to the mud level signal detected by the mud level meter 18, so that the system can automatically collect sludge.

[0025] In this example, in order to facilitate construction and reduce construction difficulty and construction cost, the structures of the first mud storage tank 3 and the second mud storage tank 4 are consistent, wherein the structure of the first mud storage tank 3 is shown in the attached Figure 2, including a pool body 31, a stirring motor 32 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the pool body 31, a stirring mechanism 34 is arranged in the pool body 31, the output shaft of the stirring motor 32 is connected to the driving end of the stirring mechanism 34 through a coupling 33, a mud inlet 35 is provided at the top of the pool body 31, and a mud outlet is provided at the bottom of the pool body 31, a sludge collecting bucket 36 is formed at the bottom of the pool body 31, the size of the feed port of the sludge collecting bucket 36 is consistent with the inner diameter of the pool body 31, a mud discharge pipe 39 is provided at the bottom of the pool body 31, the inlet of the mud discharge pipe 39 is connected to the outlet of the sludge collecting bucket 36, and the mud outlet of the mud discharge pipe 39 is connected to a mud discharger 37.

[0026] The sludge input from the sludge sedimentation tank 2 is input into the tank body 31 through the mud inlet 35, and the stirring mechanism 34 is driven by the stirring motor 32 to rotate and stir the sludge to prevent the sludge from compacting. Then, the sludge flows out from the mud discharge pipe 39 to the mud discharger 37 as needed, and the collected sludge is transported to subsequent sludge treatment equipment through the mud discharger 37.

[0027] In this embodiment, the mud discharger 37 is a screw conveyor.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the stirring mechanism 34 includes a stirring shaft 341, a first stirring paddle 342, a second stirring paddle 343 and a third stirring paddle 344. The upper end of the stirring shaft 341 is connected to the coupling 33, and the first stirring paddle 342, the second stirring paddle 343 and the third stirring paddle 344 are connected to the stirring shaft 341 in sequence from top to bottom. The distal ends of the first stirring paddle 342, the second stirring paddle 343 and the third stirring paddle 344 are connected by a reinforcing rod 345.

[0029] from Figure 3 It can also be seen that the third stirring paddle 344 is arc-shaped, and the arc surface of the third stirring paddle 344 is set downward. The arc-shaped third stirring paddle 344 can cooperate with the sludge collecting bucket 36 to fully stir the sludge at the bottom of the tank body 31 to ensure the stirring effect.

[0030] In this embodiment, an air pump 38 is also provided at the top of the pool body 31, a first gas supply channel 346 is opened at the center of the stirring shaft 341, a second gas supply channel 347 is opened at the center of the third stirring paddle 344, and a third gas supply channel 348 is opened at the center of the reinforcing rod 345. A plurality of air nozzles 349 are provided on the lower surface of the third stirring paddle 344 and the outer surface of the reinforcing rod 345, and the air nozzles 349 are connected to the second gas supply channel 347 or the third gas supply channel 348.

[0031] Through the above structure, air can be pumped into the first air delivery channel 346, the second air delivery channel 347, and the third air delivery channel 348 through the air pump 38, and then high-pressure gas is ejected by the air nozzle 349. This not only forms air stirring, thereby cooperating with the stirring of the first stirring paddle 342, the second stirring paddle 343 and the third stirring paddle 344 to further improve the stirring effect, but also the sludge on the sides of the reinforcing rod 345 and the third stirring paddle 344 can be blown away by the ejected high-pressure gas to reduce the stirring resistance and the power consumption of the stirring motor 32, thereby extending the service life of the stirring mechanism 34.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] When collecting sludge, a control command is input, and the controller 19 controls the electric control valve 12, the first sludge pump 13, the second sludge pump 15, the third sludge pump 7, and the fourth sludge pump 8 to open, and controls the three-way valve 16 to connect the sludge sedimentation tank 2 and the first sludge storage tank 3, so that the sludge generated by the biochemical sludge tank 9 and the physicochemical sludge tank 10 is pumped into the sludge thickening tank 1 for concentration treatment, and the sludge sedimentation tank 2 for secondary sedimentation treatment, and then input into the first sludge storage tank 3 for storage;

[0034] When the mud level meter 18 in the first sludge storage tank 3 detects that the mud level value reaches the upper limit of the mud storage tank 3, the controller 19 controls the three-way valve 16 to connect the sludge sedimentation tank 2 with the second sludge storage tank 4, and the sludge after the sludge concentration treatment in the sludge concentration tank 1 and the secondary sedimentation treatment in the sludge sedimentation tank 2 is input into the first sludge storage tank 3 for storage;

[0035] When the mud level meter 18 in the second sludge storage tank 4 detects that the mud level value reaches the upper limit of the mud storage tank 4, the controller 19 controls the three-way valve 16 to connect the sludge sedimentation tank 2 and the first sludge storage tank 3, so that the sludge after the sludge concentration treatment in the sludge concentration tank 1 and the secondary sedimentation treatment in the sludge sedimentation tank 2 are input into the first sludge storage tank 3 for storage;

[0036] This cycle repeats itself.

[0037] In summary, the sludge generated by sewage treatment equipment such as the biochemical sludge tank 9 and the physicochemical sludge tank 10 can be concentrated and subjected to secondary sedimentation treatment through the sludge thickening tank 1 and the sludge sedimentation tank 2, and then transported to the sludge storage tank for storage, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty of treating the sludge in the sludge storage tank, helping to shorten the storage time, thereby speeding up the efficiency of sludge collection, and avoiding the impact of excessive sludge accumulation on the normal operation of the sewage treatment equipment; at the same time, improving the setting of the first sludge storage tank 3 and the second sludge storage tank 4 to form a main and standby sludge storage method, which can further speed up the efficiency of sludge collection. In addition, through the cooperation of the mud level meter 18 and the controller 19 set in the first sludge storage tank 3 and the second sludge storage tank 4, automatic switching between the first sludge storage tank 3 and the second sludge storage tank 4 is realized, and then the automatic collection of sludge is realized in cooperation with other electronic control periods.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can make various similar expressions without violating the purpose and claims of the present invention. Such changes fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
