DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the utility model provides a shaftless screw conveyor, comprising:
[0032] The U-shaped trough 1, as the main structural part of the conveyor, has an open trough design to ensure the stability and continuity of the conveying process. The U-shaped trough 1 is provided with a feed port 3 and a discharge port 4 at both ends to meet the input and output requirements of the sludge.
[0033] To adjust the height and stability of the conveyor, four sets of adjustable legs 2 are installed at both ends of the bottom of the U-shaped trough 1. Each set of adjustable legs 2 includes an adjustable leg sleeve 21, an adjustable leg rod 22, a first fixing bolt 23, a second fixing bolt 24, and a connecting rod 25. By adjusting the insertion depth of the adjustable leg rod 22 within the adjustable leg sleeve 21 and securing it with the first fixing bolt 23, the height of the conveyor can be flexibly adjusted. The provision of the connecting rod 25 also enhances the overall stability of the U-shaped trough 1.
[0034] The feed port 3 and auxiliary feeding mechanism are located above the U-shaped trough 1 and are used to add sludge to the conveyor. To optimize the sludge dispersion effect, an auxiliary feeding mechanism is provided in the feed port 3. The mechanism includes a first motor 31, a rotating rod 32, a support plate 33, and a leakage plate 34.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first motor 31 is a speed-regulating motor, which can adjust the speed according to the flow rate and properties of the sludge. The initial angle between the leakage plate 34 and the horizontal plane is set to 45 degrees to better disperse the sludge.
[0036] When the first motor 31 drives the rotating rod 32 to swing to the left, the support plate 33 also swings to the left. At this time, the angle between the leakage plate 34 and the horizontal plane becomes a vertical angle, and the sludge can directly pass through the gap between the leakage plates 34 into the U-shaped groove 1 below and be taken away by the shaftless spiral member 6; when the first motor 31 drives the rotating rod 32 to swing to the right, the support plate 33 swings to the right. At this time, the angle between the leakage plate 34 and the horizontal plane becomes a parallel angle, and the sludge slides down through the stepped plane formed by each continuous leakage plate 34, enters the U-shaped groove 1 on the right below, and is also taken away by the shaftless spiral member 6.
[0037] This reciprocating swing effectively disperses the sludge at the feed port 3, avoiding the problem of fixed-point accumulation. At the same time, the design of the leakage plate 34 also plays a filtering role, screening and blocking impurities in the sludge. Depending on the flow rate and properties of the sludge, the speed and swing frequency of the first motor 31 can be adjusted to optimize the sludge dispersion effect.
[0038] Discharge port 4, located at the other end of the U-shaped trough 1, is used to discharge sludge from the conveyor. It comprises a second motor 41, a valve 42, a top cover 43, and a front end plate 44. Valve 42 is spherical and has several blades evenly distributed on it. The curved shape of the blades aligns with the curved shape of the bottom of the U-shaped trough 1. The second motor 41 drives the blades of valve 42 to rotate, controlling the amount of sludge discharged. The top cover 43 covers the top of discharge port 4, providing protection from external debris and preventing it from entering. It is also easy to remove and install, facilitating cleaning and maintenance within the discharge port 4. During sludge conveying, the sealing performance of the top cover 43 effectively prevents sludge leakage, maintaining a clean working environment. The front end plate 44 is located at the front end of the discharge port 4. Its top end is hinged to the top cover 43, facilitating opening and closing, providing protection, and effectively preventing sludge from splashing during discharge.
[0039] The reducer 5 and the shaftless screw 6 are mounted on one side of the U-shaped trough 1, with its output shaft flange connected to one end of the shaftless screw 6. The shaftless screw 6 serves as the conveying component of the conveyor, with one end connected to the output shaft flange of the reducer 5 and the other end freely suspended in the U-shaped trough 1. A crushing blade 61 is also fixedly connected to the outside of the shaftless screw 6 to enhance the crushing ability of the sludge.
[0040] During actual operation, the reducer 5 drives the shaftless screw 6 to rotate, transporting the sludge from the feed port 3 to the discharge port 4. At the same time, the crushing blade 61 crushes the sludge to ensure smooth transportation of the sludge.
[0041] Working principle:
[0042] In actual use, the height and tilt angle of the U-shaped trough 1 can be precisely adjusted to suit different working environments and sludge characteristics by first adjusting the bolt connection between the adjustment leg sleeve 21 and the adjustment leg rod 22 of the adjustment leg 2, and then using the first fixing bolt 23 and the second fixing bolt 24. In addition, the connecting rod 25 is used to securely connect the two adjustment legs 2 on both sides, enhancing the stability of the overall structure.
[0043] Sludge feeding: Sludge is fed into the U-shaped trough 1 through two symmetrically arranged feed ports 3. Each feed port 3 is equipped with an auxiliary feeding mechanism, driven by a first motor 31, which drives a rotating rod 32 and a support plate 33 to swing left and right. This swinging mechanism ensures that the sludge is evenly distributed within the U-shaped trough 1, effectively preventing accumulation at specific locations. Furthermore, a linear array of sludge-dispersion plates 34 is fixedly connected within the support plates 33. The design of these sludge-dispersion plates 34 further optimizes sludge dispersion.
[0044] Sludge conveying: the shaftless screw 6 rotates under the drive of the speed reducer 5 to convey the sludge from the feeding port 3 end to the discharging port 4 end. During the conveying process, the broken blade 61 breaks the large particles in the sludge, thereby improving the conveying efficiency and the uniformity of the sludge.
[0045] Sludge discharging: when the sludge reaches the discharging port 4, the opening and closing and rotating speed of the valve 42 are controlled by the second motor 41 to realize the automatic discharging of the sludge. The valve 42 is designed as a spherical structure, and a plurality of blades are uniformly arranged on the valve 42, the arc structure of the blades is matched with the arc structure of the bottom of the U-shaped groove 1, which can more effectively control the outflow of the sludge and reduce the problems of blockage and wear of the sludge during the discharging process. At the same time, the design of the top cover 43 and the front end plate 44 ensures the sealing and safety of the discharging port 4.
[0046] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form; any ordinary technical personnel in the industry can implement the present application according to the drawings and the above; however, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical scheme of the present application, using the above disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of the present application; at the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made according to the essential technology of the present application to the above embodiments are still within the protection scope of the technical scheme of the present application.
