Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0035] This embodiment provides a river silt dewatering device, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes:

[0036] 100 racks;

[0037] A dehydration tank is mounted on the frame 100. At least the lower surface of the dehydration tank 100 is provided with a plurality of drain holes 210. One end of the dehydration tank 100 (e.g., Figure 3 The outer side of the right end is provided with a feed inlet 220, and the other end (such as...) Figure 3 The left end) is the open end 230;

[0038] A filter press module, which can squeeze and dehydrate the sludge in the dewatering tank to the other end of the dewatering tank;

[0039] A discharge module, which is capable of opening and / or closing the opening end of the dehydration tank.

[0040] This embodiment provides a river silt dewatering device. When river silt is pumped into the dewatering tank through the inlet 220, the filter press module squeezes and dewaters the silt towards the other end of the tank. After dewatering, the discharge module opens the opening of the dewatering tank, allowing the filter press module to push the dewatered silt out, completing one cycle of river silt dewatering. The discharge module then closes the opening, repeating the dewatering process continuously.

[0041] Preferably, the upper surface of the dehydration tank is also provided with multiple drainage holes 210, which makes it easier to drain water from the entire side of the dehydration tank.

[0042] Preferably, the inner surface of the dewatering tank is covered with filter cloth to prevent river silt from being discharged from the drain hole 210.

[0043] More preferably, the dehydration tank is provided with a top cover 240 to facilitate the laying / replacement of filter cloth on the inner surface of the dehydration tank, and to facilitate replacement when the screw 211 is worn.

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the inner cavity of the dehydration tank is cylindrical; the filter press module includes a first filter press assembly;

[0045] The first filter press assembly includes:

[0046] The screw 211 includes a core rod 211-1 and a helical blade 211-2 disposed on the outer surface of the core rod 211-1. The screw 211 is disposed inside the dehydration tank and extends from one end of the dehydration tank to the other end.

[0047] The first motion unit 212 can drive the screw 211 to rotate around the axis to squeeze and dehydrate the sludge in the dehydration tank to the other end of the dehydration tank.

[0048] That is, this embodiment provides a specific scheme for a filter press module, which drives the screw 211 to rotate through the first motion unit 212 (in this embodiment, it is a motor, preferably a geared motor) to move, stir, and squeeze the river silt located between the spiral blades 211-2 and the core rod 211-1 to the other end of the dewatering tank to achieve dewatering; after dewatering is completed, the opening end of the dewatering tank is opened through the discharge module, and the screw continues to rotate to push the dewatered silt out from the opening end of the dewatering tank.

[0049] Based on the previous embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the filter press module further includes a second filter press assembly; the second filter press assembly includes:

[0050] An annular pusher plate 221 is disposed perpendicularly to the screw 211 inside the dehydration tank and located at one end of the dehydration tank. The outer side of the annular pusher plate 221 matches the inner cavity of the dehydration tank, and the inner diameter of the annular pusher plate 221 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the screw 211.

[0051] The second motion unit 222 is capable of pushing the annular pusher plate 221 from one end of the dehydration tank to the other end.

[0052] In the previous embodiment, the screw 211 exerted limited pressure on the river silt. This embodiment further provides a filter press module that also includes a second filter press assembly. When the dewatering tank is full of river silt, the screw 211 rotates, and simultaneously the second motion unit 222 (e.g., an electric actuator or cylinder; in this embodiment, an electric actuator is used to simplify the equipment and facilitate on-site deployment) pushes the annular push plate 221 to move towards the other end of the dewatering tank (it only needs to move a short distance, enough to compact the river silt for dewatering and drainage), thereby improving the dewatering efficiency and effect of the river silt.

[0053] Additionally, when the filter press module further includes a second filter press assembly, one end of the dewatering tank (e.g.) Figure 3 The right end can also be left unsealed, with the annular pusher plate 221 acting as a barrier to block river silt. Simultaneously, it prevents a small amount of silt from leaking through the gap between the screw 211 and the annular pusher plate 221, which could affect the return of the annular pusher plate 221 after prolonged operation. Figure 3 (Right end movement).

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the screw is a variable diameter screw;

[0055] The screw 211 includes:

[0056] The first screw section is located at the end of the screw closest to the feed inlet. The length of the first screw section is greater than or equal to the travel of the annular push plate, and the outer diameter of the first screw section is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the annular push plate (preferably, the outer side of the first screw section matches the inner opening of the annular push plate, that is, the outer diameter of the first screw section is equal to the inner diameter of the annular push plate and they do not interfere with each other during relative movement).

[0057] The second screw section is located at the other end of the screw, and the outer diameter of the second screw section is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the dehydration tank (preferably, the outer side of the second screw section is matched with the inner cavity of the dehydration tank, that is, the outer diameter of the second screw section is equal to the inner diameter of the dehydration tank and they do not interfere with each other during relative movement).

[0058] The outer diameter of the first screw segment is smaller than the outer diameter of the second screw segment.

[0059] The solution in this embodiment further optimizes the structure of the screw 211 by specially setting a first section of the screw, thereby creating a larger space between the first section of the screw and the dewatering tank, which facilitates the movement of the annular push plate 221 with a smaller stroke, resulting in more efficient and effective dewatering of river silt.

[0060] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the material discharge module includes:

[0061] Cover plate 410;

[0062] The third motion unit 420 (e.g., an electric actuator or cylinder; in this embodiment, an electric actuator is used to simplify the equipment and facilitate on-site installation) can drive the cover plate 410 to seal or open the opening end 230 of the dehydration tank.

[0063] This embodiment provides a specific solution for the material feeding module.

[0064] Based on the above embodiments, the river silt dewatering device further includes:

[0065] The drug delivery module (not shown in the figure) includes a drug storage container, a drug delivery tube, and a fourth motion unit (a pump in this embodiment). The fourth motion unit delivers the flocculant stored in the drug storage container into the dehydration tank via the drug delivery tube. The flocculant input into the dehydration tank by the drug delivery module is stirred by a screw and comes into full contact with the river silt, thereby achieving flocculation and dehydration.

[0066] Regarding the number and location of the dosing tube outlets in the dehydration tank, those skilled in the art can make appropriate settings according to the specific circumstances.

[0067] That is, the river silt dewatering device in this embodiment can further achieve flocculation dewatering to increase dewatering efficiency and effect.

[0068] Based on the above embodiments, the screw and the dehydration tank are made of conductive metal materials;

[0069] The river silt dewatering device also includes an electroosmosis module (not shown in the figure), wherein the anode of the electroosmosis module is electrically connected to the screw, and the cathode is electrically connected to the dewatering tank.

[0070] It should be noted that since the voltage required for electroosmotic dehydration is generally greater than 36V, it may pose a risk of electric shock to the human body. Therefore, during electroosmotic dehydration, operators are strictly prohibited from touching the frame 100 and the dehydration tank; or, the outer surface of the frame 100 and the dehydration tank, or the entire machine, which may be touched, should be covered with insulating materials such as polymer materials to prevent electric shock accidents.

[0071] In this embodiment, the voltage for electroosmotic dehydration is 50V. When used in conjunction with the above-mentioned filter press module (including the first filter press component and the second filter press component) and drug delivery module, it can dehydrate river silt to a water content of less than 40%, or even less than 30%.

[0072] The river silt dewatering device in this embodiment can further achieve electroosmotic dewatering to increase dewatering efficiency and effectiveness.

[0073] Regarding electroosmotic dehydration, which is an existing solution, this application will not elaborate further. Those skilled in the art will know that the anode and cathode of existing electroosmotic dehydration equipment can be connected to the screw 211 and the dehydration tank respectively to perform electroosmotic dehydration.

[0074] Currently, regarding screw designs, the force on the inner side (closer to the core rod) of the helical blade is generally much greater than that on the outer side (away from the core rod). Therefore, in order to ensure the life of the screw, the thickness of the outer side (away from the core rod) of the helical blade is generally much smaller than the thickness of the inner side (closer to the core rod).

[0075] However, the inventors of this application discovered that during electroosmotic dehydration, the outer side of the spiral blades would wear down and thin more quickly. When using ordinary spiral blades, the outer diameter of the screw would decrease rapidly, which would increase the gap between the outer side of the screw and the inner cavity of the dehydration tank, seriously affecting the screw's stirring and squeezing effect on the river silt, thus affecting the dehydration efficiency and effect.

[0076] Therefore, preferably, the thickness of the outer side (the side away from the core rod 211-1) of the spiral blade 211-2 is 80% to 100% of the thickness of the inner side (the side closer to the core rod 211-1). This minimizes the impact of electroosmotic dehydration on the outer diameter of the screw, allowing the device to operate for a longer period.

[0077] Furthermore, the inventors discovered that after plating the surface of the helical blades with titanium, even during prolonged electroosmotic dehydration, the loss of metallic titanium is minimal, and the dehydration effect is excellent. Therefore, titanium plating can be used to reduce losses in helical blades, or pure metallic titanium can be used to manufacture the helical blades.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, the river silt dewatering device of this application can further include a control module (which can use existing microcontrollers, PLCs, or other control schemes) to be electrically connected to the above modules (such as the control valves of the motors, electric actuators / cylinders, pumps, etc.) to realize the automated control of the river silt dewatering device of this application. Regarding the control module's control of the motors, electric actuators, cylinders, control valves, pumps, etc., existing commonly used technical solutions can be adopted, and will not be elaborated upon in this application.

[0079] This application also provides a river silt dewatering system, comprising one or more (e.g., two, three, four, or five or more) of the aforementioned river silt dewatering devices; and,

[0080] A conveyor belt is disposed below the open end of the dehydration tank.

[0081] Therefore, multiple river silt dewatering devices of this application can be conveniently arranged beside the river. River silt is pumped to the river silt dewatering device by a pump or the like for dewatering. The dewatered river silt is pushed onto a conveyor belt and transported to a truck or the like for subsequent solidification to prepare building materials or fillers.

[0082] Although the embodiments of this application have been described above, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments and application fields described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and instructive, and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art, based on the guidance of this specification and without departing from the scope of protection of the claims of this application, can make many other forms, all of which are within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
