Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of application equipment technology for high-salt wastewater concentration in evaporators, specifically a novel variable frequency thickener device for evaporation systems. Background Technology
[0002] High-salinity wastewater evaporation desalination technology (i.e., thermal method) uses external heat energy to evaporate water from a mixed solution. While cooling and recovering the steam, the high-salinity brine is concentrated, separating the salt from the water. Currently, most thermal desalination technologies used in high-salinity wastewater treatment are developed from seawater desalination technologies, with multi-stage flash evaporation, single / multi-effect evaporation, and mechanical vapor compression distillation being commonly employed.
[0003] In common evaporation systems, traditional thickeners mostly use gravity sedimentation. The salt concentration of the influent varies greatly. High salt concentration easily leads to a high salt content at the clarified liquid outlet, failing to achieve solid-liquid separation. If salt accumulates at the bottom of the thickener for a long time, it can even cause the thickener agitator to detach and the motor to burn out. Low salt concentration easily leads to low salt content at the concentrated liquid outlet, making subsequent centrifugation difficult and resulting in high water content in the effluent. During the evaporation and concentration of high-salt wastewater, the salt content of the concentrated liquid gradually increases with evaporation, easily leading to the above-mentioned problems. Therefore, in actual treatment, a large amount of manpower is required to control the feed rate, and cleaning the thickener is also required when the evaporation system is shut down, resulting in high labor costs and fatigue among on-site production personnel. Therefore, a new type of variable frequency thickener device for evaporation systems is designed. Utility Model Content

[0034] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a novel variable frequency thickener device for an evaporation system includes a housing 100. A cover 200 is installed at the top of the housing 100, which mainly seals the housing 100. A drive assembly 300 is installed at the top of the cover 200. The drive assembly 300 can drive a rotating filter screen 400 to rotate. The drive assembly 300 is composed of a variable frequency motor 301 and a rotating shaft 302. The rotating filter screen 400 is arranged inside the housing 100. A thickener filter plate 500 is arranged above the rotating filter screen 400 and is installed on the inner wall of the cover 200. A connecting protrusion 401 is arranged at the center of the bottom of the rotating filter screen 400. The connecting protrusion 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 302 by fastening bolts. Because the connecting protrusion 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 302 by fastening bolts, the operator can disassemble, replace or clean the rotating filter screen 400.
[0035] The thickener filter plate 500 has external threads on its outer wall and internal threads on its inner wall. The external threads on the thickener filter plate 500 and the internal threads on the cover 200 are connected by a threaded engagement. Because the external threads on the thickener filter plate 500 and the internal threads on the cover 200 are connected by a threaded engagement, the thickener filter plate 500 can be disassembled, replaced, or cleaned by the operator.
[0036] The top end of the rotating shaft 302 passes through the through hole 501 at the center of the surface of the thickener filter grid plate 500 and the sealed bearing at the center of the top of the cover 200, and extends to the outside. It is connected to the variable frequency motor 301 through a coupling. When the variable frequency motor 301 is started, it can drive the rotating shaft 302 to rotate. The variable frequency motor 301 is installed on the top of the mounting bracket 201, and the mounting bracket 201 is installed on the top of the cover 200.
[0037] A circular groove 502 is provided on the lower surface of the thickener filter plate 500. The top of the rotating filter screen 400 is located in the circular groove 502, and the outer wall of the rotating filter screen 400 and the inner wall of the circular groove 502 are in clearance fit, which avoids the situation where high-salt wastewater material directly passes through the thickener filter plate 500 and is discharged from the clear liquid outlet pipe 202.
[0038] A second annular protrusion 203 is provided on the lower part of the outer wall of the cover 200, and a first annular protrusion 101 is provided on the upper part of the outer wall of the shell 100. The first annular protrusion 101 and the second annular protrusion 203 are fixedly connected by fastening bolts. Because the first annular protrusion 101 and the second annular protrusion 203 are fixedly connected by fastening bolts, the staff can disassemble and assemble the cover 200 and the shell 100.
[0039] An annular sealing block 204 is provided at the bottom of the cover 200. The annular sealing block 204 is installed in the annular sealing groove 102, which is located at the top of the housing 100.

The external threads on the outer wall of the annular sealing block 204 and the internal threads on the annular sealing groove 102 are threadedly connected. A sealing ring is provided between the bottom end of the annular sealing block 204 and the bottom inner side of the annular sealing groove 102. Because the external threads on the outer wall of the annular sealing block 204 and the internal threads on the annular sealing groove 102 are threadedly connected, and a sealing ring is provided between the bottom end of the annular sealing block 204 and the bottom inner side of the annular sealing groove 102, the connection between the cover 200 and the housing 100 can be sealed.
[0040] A clear liquid outlet pipe 202 is provided on one side of the top of the cover 200 for discharging clear liquid. A suspension feed pipe 103 is provided on the upper side of the outer wall of the shell 100 for injecting high-salt wastewater into the shell 100. A concentrated liquid outlet pipe 104 is provided at the center of the bottom of the shell 100 for discharging concentrated liquid. A valve body is provided on the clear liquid outlet pipe 202, the suspension feed pipe 103, and the concentrated liquid outlet pipe 104. Four support columns 105 are provided at the bottom of the shell 100 and are arranged in a ring array.
[0041] When thickening high-salt wastewater, the high-salt wastewater material to be used is injected into the shell 100 through the suspension feed pipe 103 connected to the shell 100. Then, the variable frequency motor 301 starts and drives the rotating shaft 302 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 302 drives the rotating filter screen 400 to rotate. The thickening is separated by rotating the rotating filter screen 400. The clear liquid is discharged through the clear liquid outlet pipe 202, and the concentrated liquid is discharged to the centrifuge for centrifugation to remove salt through the concentrated liquid outlet pipe 104. The variable frequency motor 301 can adjust the current according to the salt concentration of the feed to prevent salt from clogging the surface of the filter structure and increase the effective filtration time. When stopping, the current of the variable frequency motor 301 can be turned up to the maximum to increase the rotation speed of the rotating filter screen 400 and reduce the time for cleaning.
