Specifically, the sludge produced by sludge dewatering centrifuge is sent to buffer hopper by shaftless screw conveyor, and the industrial pump at the bottom of buffer hopper pumps the sludge to the far distance silo for storage by sludge pipeline. The radar level gauge monitors the material level of sludge in buffer hopper in real time. The sludge pumping speed of existing industrial pump is linearly related to the material level of buffer hopper, and the pumping speed changes in real time according to the material level of buffer hopper, that is, when the sludge in buffer hopper is less, the pumping speed is slowed down, and when the sludge in buffer hopper is more, the pumping speed is accelerated.

[0004] When the shaftless screw conveyor sends the sludge to the top of buffer hopper, the sludge does not fall vertically into the buffer hopper due to inertia, and splashing exists. When the radar level gauge monitors the material level of buffer hopper in real time, if the radar emitted by the probe monitors the splashing sludge, the material level will appear a high material level jitter, and the pumping speed will also appear jitter, which is easy to damage the equipment and shorten the service life of vulnerable parts.

[0021] Embodiment

[0022] See Figure 1 The utility model relates to a kind of sludge pumping speed control system, including buffer hopper 1, industrial pump 2, hydraulic station 3 and control cabinet 4;Radar material position meter 5 and weighing measurement system 6 are set on the buffer hopper 1, respectively measure the sludge material position height and sludge weight of buffer hopper 1;Shaftless screw conveyor is set on the upper portion of buffer hopper 1, and dewatered sludge is transported into buffer hopper 1;Hydraulic station 3 is connected by hydraulic pipeline 8 and provides power for the operation of industrial pump 2;Industrial pump 2 is located below the discharge port of the bottom of buffer hopper 1, and the sludge in buffer hopper 1 is transported to sludge pipeline 7, sludge pipeline 7 is connected to silo that stores sludge, and industrial pump 2 pumps sludge to silo storage;Radar material position meter 5 and weighing measurement system 6 are respectively connected with control cabinet 4 signal, and control cabinet 4 controls the output hydraulic power of hydraulic station 3, to further control the feed rate of industrial pump 2;

[0023] In the sludge treatment process of sewage treatment plant, the types of sludge conveying equipment include centrifugal pump, diaphragm pump, screw pump, plunger pump, cam rotor pump and other industrial pumps. The plunger sludge pump is a large and long-distance conveying equipment. It relies on the hydraulic cylinder to drive the conveying cylinder to reciprocate, and cooperates with the reversing device in the hopper to realize material suction and pumping. It is widely used in sewage treatment plants. The industrial pump in the embodiment is a plunger sludge pump. The industrial pump 2 in the embodiment is a plunger sludge pump.

[0024] The control cabinet 4 is provided with a signal receiving module, a central processor module and a control output module connected in a signal connection mode; the signal receiving module is connected with the radar level meter 5 and the weighing metering system 6 through a signal line 9 in an electrical signal connection mode; the central processor module calculates the adaptive running speed of the industrial pump according to the sludge level signal and the weight data received by the signal receiving module; the control output module outputs the industrial pump running speed signal determined by the central processor module to the hydraulic station 3, so that the hydraulic station 3 controls the industrial pump 2 to run at a corresponding speed.

[0025] Specifically, the control cabinet 4 of the embodiment comprises a main circuit and a control circuit of the motor, and specifically comprises a circuit breaker, a contactor, a soft starter, a time relay, a PLC system, an intermediate relay, a terminal and the like. The main circuit delivers 380V three-phase power to the motor, and ensures the safe and orderly operation of the motor through the circuit breaker and the contactor. The control circuit mainly comprises a PLC system, an intermediate relay and a coil of the contactor; the PLC system sets the pumping speed of the industrial pump 2 to low, medium and high gears, which correspond to the sludge level below 30%, the sludge level between 30% and 70%, and the sludge level above 70% respectively.

[0026] When the shaftless screw conveyor delivers sludge to the top of the buffer hopper 1, due to the inertia of the sludge, the sludge does not fall vertically into the buffer hopper, but splashes. When the radar level meter 5 monitors the level of the buffer hopper in real time, if the radar emitted by the probe monitors the splashing sludge, the level will appear a high level fluctuation. In order to prevent the fluctuation of the pumping speed, which is easy to damage the equipment and shorten the service life of the vulnerable parts, the weighing metering system 6 is used to exclude the level monitoring fluctuation caused by the false monitoring of the radar level meter 5 according to the weight of the buffer hopper 1, so as to ensure the reliability of the level monitoring system.

[0027] Specifically, the weight of the sludge buffer hopper 1 and the height of the sludge have a linear relationship, the weight value of the full material of the buffer hopper 1 is the stop value of the shaftless screw, and the weight values of the low pumping speed and the high pumping speed are set in sequence according to the empirical value. According to the actual needs of the site, the pumping speed of the pumping system can be divided into low speed, normal speed and high speed, when the radar material level and the weight material level are both lower than 30%, the pumping speed is low speed; when the radar material level and the weight material level are both between 30% and 70%, the pumping speed is normal speed; when the radar material level and the weight material level are both higher than 70%, the pumping speed is high speed; the specific operation logic control diagram is shown in Figure 3 . In this way, the sudden increase and decrease of the pumping displacement caused by the material level detection jumping can be reduced, the hydraulic system is stable, and the service life of each part of the equipment is prolonged. Embodiment

[0028] The industrial pump system disclosed by the utility model relates to a sludge pumping speed control system in the embodiment 1, and the working flow chart is shown in Figure 3 .

In this way, the sudden increase and decrease of the pumping displacement caused by the material level detection jumping can be reduced, the hydraulic system is stable, and the service life of each part of the equipment is prolonged;

[0029] The industrial pump system is connected with the previous dehydration process, when the industrial pump system sends a stop command, the dehydration equipment must be stopped, otherwise the sludge will accumulate in the buffer hopper 1 and cannot be transported to the storage bin, and sludge overflow will occur; once the dehydration equipment is stopped, the time for restarting is long, which affects production. Therefore, the stop command must be accurate, the radar material level meter 5 and the weighing metering system 6 are used to double monitor the sludge material level of the buffer hopper 1 by the control cabinet 4, the stable operation of the industrial pump system is ensured, frequent problems are prevented, the stop command is not frequently sent, and normal production is affected.
